A Grim Beginning
Cold... It's so cold. I can't feel my hands. A numbing has creeped into my body, and its frosty embrace is permeating slowly towards my head. This could have been avoided. I was so stubborn, and now there is no going back. I am going to die.
Sad as it is, I've brought this on myself. I played with political fire. Moving up the ranks in a B rated corporation should have been smooth sailing for someone with my qualifications. As soon as I was stonewalled by someone with political sway I needed to fold with no recourse. My fickle mind lead me to believe I could have changed the outcome. I couldn't. When you go up against a dragon, and start resisting, it'll play with its food.
He took everything from me. My job. My home. Hell, he even took my god damned dog. He did it with a smile on his face too. A pompous, arrogant asshole with money to spend and power to wield. All my wit and knowledge amounted to nothing when faced against power of that magnitude. I shouldn't have pushed it further. I should have taken my losses and considered myself a winner. I had to hit him. My filthy commoner hands slapping that grinning face sealed my fate, regardless of how good it felt. Now I lie here in this ditch, in some back-road, miles away from anything useful. Poisoned and forgotten. I would have done it differently. If I had the chance I would have garnered absolute power and used it.
Ahhhhhh, you would use that power?
'What the fuck? Is someone talking?'
You can consider this an early hello. I should have let you go through character creation and a bit of assimilation before talking to you, but the temptation was too great. Your melancholy has such a desirable flavor. Mmmmmmmmmmmh, Yum.
'What the hell are you talking about? Character creation?'
Naughty, naughty! Don't be so impatient. This could be beneficial for you. Now if you would be sooooo kind and answer my question?
'Question?'
Would you use that power? Would you grip it and bend it to your will? Would you shape the world to your design?
'I… I would… I would make it so that no one could take it from me. I would use that power so that those arrogant assholes that sit on their high horses realize how small they truly are.'
Hmmmm, and you don't think that's petty?
'Petty? No. It would benefit the world. I wouldn't turn into them. I would evolve past that. I want to be someone to which others wish to emulate…'
Admirable… If foolish. 'Sigh' I guess I can see the appeal. You've intrigued me. I'll give you a little present during character creation… Well, I've got to skedaddle! Toodaloo!
'WAIT! What do you mean by character creation?! HELLO!'
There was nothing to answer back. It felt as if I was in a void. No darkness. No light. Nothingness. That's all there was. Wait, there's still me? No. I feel nothing. I am nothing. I…
DING!
