Oh boy...
Just when I thought I had killed this mofo off... he comes back!
This is kinda light in term of content, but I hope it proves to be enlightening to any who have wondered about the original eight endless.
Enjoy and welcome back!
Chapter One
Salutations!
Grim Reaper Ryan Blackworth here again!
Certainly been a while since I jotted anything down in this old worn book, huh!
So I've been thinking…
Shocking I know!
I kinda thought (to avoid any power struggles in the future) that I'd better put down a sort of dossier in regards to all the worlds entities I know, kinda like one big book of knowledge.
It will prove to be very useful to future generations of reapers and even Grim Reapers should I ever bite the dust.
I might go by group for starters, talk about endless, and then seasons, then holidays and stuff like that.

Endless Members: Original Eight
The original eight endless were a group of personified thoughts who take power from various aspects of the universe itself. Each member of the original eight has the ability to warp the world through the utilization of madness, differing between each member.
Since the formation of the endless, only one new member has joined (Entity of Dreams and Happiness)
The Endless were bought together by the original Grim Reaper to counter the threat of the entity of Equality (this led to the original death being killed)
Endless 1: Life
Common Name: Eva
Madness through: Chaos
Weapon of Choice: The Holy Spear that Stabbed Christ
Limiter: Wreath
Backstory: Turned into the entity of life after the original life entity (See God for further information) died fighting in the angelic, demonic and fallen war. Has served as Mother Nature ever since.
Personality: Life has shown herself to be very kind and caring however when put under the right circumstances can become violent and merciless. Her love for nature and people is outweighed only by her love for her fellow endless members. She has formed a strong attachment to her partner and sees him as a backboard for her power.
Abilities: As the entity of life, Eva wields nearly limitless amounts of magical energy which is restricted by a wreath which sits atop her head. Her ability to manipulate the world around her makes her a nearly unstoppable force.
Current Status: Active
Threat: S-Class

Endless 2: Death
Common Name: Ryan Blackworth
Madness Through: Order
Weapon of Choice: The Grim Reapers Scythe
Limiter: Gloves
Backstory: Was the only reaper in the service of ex-grim reaper Ariana, was turned into the Grim Reaper after Ariana was struck down on a mission. Has bought eight individuals back from the dead in order to serve as his own personal reapers.
Personality: Ryan is a very cunning, deceptive and manipulative person. He is capable of bending the wills of others to suit his needs and will resort to any means necessary to protect the ones he cares about. He is willing to give his own life for the protection of the planet (See Equality Incident and Time Paradox Incident for further details) without a second thought. He holds his partner in high regards much like he does towards all entities and has shown romantic interest in various individuals across the world.
Abilities: As the living embodiment of death, Ryan has mastered every fighting style ever created and can wield any weapon with the grace of a master and beyond, his primary form of attack is his signature reaper chop. His mastery over death based magic has allowed him to create the most sacred arts of any entity, combined with his madness through order; he is considered the single most dangerous being in existence.

Threat: S-Class

Endless 3: Knowledge
Common Name: Terrance Lawrence
Madness Through: Knowledge
Weapon of Choice: The Twin Tomes of Intelligence and Common Sense (Chained to his body)
Limiter: Chained Books
Backstory: Was created after the birth of the universe through the infinite need to understand the world and universe around us.
Personality: Terrance is hands down the most intelligent being in the known universe; his unparralled intellect is his greatest ally. He holds a deep rooted respect for his endless partner and is willing to fight if the situation requires it. He usually tones his intelligence down in order to properly communicate with others despite existing on another plane when thinking.
Abilities: Terrance holds the prestigious title of Sand Master amongst the entities of the earth, yet his magic is nowhere near limited to mere sand. He has never been killed and is the only active entity to have existed since the original eight endless council members. His madness through knowledge is one of the most frightening since the effects of such madness are still unknown, even to him.
Status: Active
Threat: Z-Class

Endless 4: Fear
Common Name: Blake Dark
Madness Through: Fear
Weapon of Choice: The Eternal Shadows of Inky Despair
Limiter: Appearance
Backstory: The tenth entity of fear, the title having been passed down the Dark family tree for centuries. The original Fear having fallen in love with a human who could see him without experiencing pure fear. Blake also seeks the same fate, wishing to find the one who can view him for what he truly is.
Personality: Blake is a very kind and thoughtful person, he values life and love and above all cares very deeply for his fellow endless. Yet his passive ability to strike crippling fear into anyone one who looks at him has proven to be his weakness time and time again. Despite this set back he still strives to be the best endless he can be every single day. He has the upmost respect for his partner and is constantly moving in order to find the one person who doesn't fear so that he might talk to a human without giving them a heart attack.
Abilities: As one of the original eight endless, Blake possesses the ability to devastate entire countries with very little effort. His ability to manipulate a beings mind is his greatest power since he can exploit the fears of his enemies to mentally break them down into nothingness. His madness through fear is particularly dangerous since it would cause the most overall damage to the planet if allowed to activate.
Status: Active (Wandering)
Threat Level: Z-Class

Endless 5: Rage
Common Name: Max
Madness Through: Rage
Weapon of Choice: The Sword of Purgatory Flames
Limiter: Sense of Humor
Backstory: Very little is known about the true nature of Max, even his true name has yet to be revealed. He is the third reincarnation of the entity of rage and has never spoken of the ones who came before him.
Personality: Max is an asshole! I mean… Max has a rather odd personality. Due to his limiter being directly tied into his frame of mind, he is in a constant state of always being rather infuriating. This being said, he is able to control his… sarcasm, long enough to provide some very sage like advice to his fellow endless members and entities alike. He is incredibly fond of his partner as she is the only one who doesn't mind his annoying sense of humor.
Abilities: Max is a legend amongst humans, being called the wish master and the origin source for the genie. His magic allows him to perform miracles and he helps humans on a daily basis in exchange for various little favors or gifts. His madness through rage is brutal since it is not only limited to humans but also entities who don't have incredible magical resistance.
Status: Active (Youtuber, ten million subscribers and growing)
Threat Level: A-Class

Endless 6: Love
Common Name: Cupid
Madness Through: Love
Weapon of Choice: Bow of Eternal Love
Limiter: Heart Tattoo
Backstory: Love is the second youngest endless of the original eight and the third youngest of the current nine. Much like her ancestors, her only wish is to find her next heir and this is only possible through reproduction with a suitable mate.
Personality: Love is a massive manipulator, her love for others finding love reaches incredibly high levels and this causes her to act in ways that might cause harm to humans. She has a deep love for her partner and couldn't imagine life without him.
Abilities: As the entity of love, Love has the dangerous ability to cause massive infatuation within the minds of weak men and women, bending them to her will. Her accuracy is unparralled by any other endless and her arrows have magic power strong enough to tame the original two's hearts.
Status: Active
Threat Level: A-Class

Endless 7: Space
Common Name: Pandora
Madness Through: Space
Weapon of Choice: Twin vector sub-machine guns
Limiter: Childness
Backstory: Since the dawn of creation Pandora has lived with her partner and they have never left each other's side. Due to their particular affinity with the far reaches of space, the two partners are not considered active in terms of Earth affairs. Pandora, alongside Knowledge and Paradox are the only three who have yet to be reincarnated in another form.
Personality: Pandora is soft spoken and very shy unless she knows the person very well. Her timidness comes from the extensive amount of time she spends in space with her partner yet she has proven to be incredibly skilled when faced with combat situations.
Abilities: Being one of the original eight, Pandora has near limitless cosmic abilities. Her magic is incredibly potent which is why her limiter keeps it in check, she can create any item she wishes by simply willing it into existence and is capable of creating billions of alternate dimensions should she ever activate her madness.
Status: Inactive
Threat Level: S-Class

Endless 8: Time
Common Name: Paradox
Madness Through: Time
Weapon of Choice: Twin short swords
Limiter: Childness
Backstory: Since the dawn of creation Paradox has lived with his partner and they have never left each other's side. Due to their particular affinity with the far reaches of space, the two partners are not considered active in terms of Earth affairs. Paradox, alongside Knowledge and Pandora are the only three who have yet to be reincarnated in another form.
Personality: Paradox is innocent almost to the point of blatant ignorance; he is unable to read a situation and is not a very social person. He has a deep, almost obsessive love for his partner and becomes incredibly upset should anything upset or harm her.
Abilities: Being the entity of time itself, Paradox has the ability to enter and exit the time stream at will and manipulate time around him making him one of the most powerful members amongst the endless. By invoking his madness he can strip away the concept of death and make every living being immortal and ageless.
Status: Inactive
Threat Level: S-Class

Endless Council Room
"And then I stopped myself from marrying Le Fay" explained Ryan as Eva tossed the dossier back to him.
It had been just over three days since the whole time paradox incident and Ryan had called an emergency endless meeting in order to explain the situation to his equals.
"I see… and you're sure this will not occur again?" asked Knowledge seriously.
"I can never been sure Terrance, but I'm very confident, besides, Paradox is too strong to let a little virus beat him twice" said Ryan with a small smile.
"That still doesn't explain why you made a book containing all our strengths and weaknesses, if this fell into the wrong hands it could prove fatal to everyone present save for Dream since you haven't gotten around to writing about her yet" said Eva, gesturing to the entity in question.
"I made this should one of us ever bite the dust, the next generation of endless have to know what to expect when facing the world. We were all forced to learn this knowledge on our own, no offence Terrance"
"None taken"
"So if, in the highly unlikely chance that we do, end up dying, then this will prove invaluable to the ones who come after us" explained Ryan as he closed the book and put it in the middle of the round table.
"I see the value of having a book like that…" said Max as he stroked his goatee.
"As do I" said Love with a nod.
The endless all nodded and Ryan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Something troubling you partner?" asked Eva curiously.
"Only been alive twenty years and you can already read me like a book" laughed Ryan as he lent back in his chair.
This comment piqued the interest of the other council members.
"What's the matter big brother?" asked Pandora with a small smile.
"It could be something and it could be nothing" muttered Ryan softly.
"Or it could be everything. Equality, Chaos, both creatures were allowed to cause havoc because we didn't catch onto them sooner… if you need to tell us something Ryan, tell us now" said Knowledge seriously.
Ryan breathed deeply, collecting his thoughts.
"It was a tiny little detail but its still been bothering me since it happened... when I got back from the future and broke it off with Lele, I breathed a breath of black flames" explained Ryan as he did it again.
"And this is strange because…?" said Love as she trailed off.
Ryan turned to her seriously.
"Because I never breathe flames unless I specifically want to… I may have created the fire breathers but…" Ryan trailed off as he remembered the incident.
"We know Ryan… it's alright" whispered Eva as she held his hand and gave it a soft squeeze.
"it just seems a little bit strange that I would breath fire right after an incident like this, it might be nothing but like you said it might be everything and I'm just about done with dealing with this kind of crazy shit on my own" sighed Ryan.
"Amen brother… no offence Eva" stated Max quickly.
"None taken…"
"So what now?" asked Dream curiously.
"I'm not sure really, I suppose we go about our daily business… do what we always have and hope the peace stays" said Knowledge.
"Should we stay within range of Earth?" asked Paradox and Pandora.
Silence filled the room.
"No… you earned your rest brother, take some time off and spend it with each other. That goes for the rest of you, find that special someone and tell them that you love them. The whole disappearing into time thing ain't how I wanna go out but from hearing all this crazy crap, I realize that I don't have a lot of power when it comes to time so I might as well make the most of what I've got" said Max seriously, despite his annoying tendencies, he was one of the wisest beings alive.
The Endless nodded, before rising from their seats.
"Some fine words Max, you could be a poet" noted Knowledge.
"Shove it up your ass Terrance… hey Ryan" said Max as he looked at the reaper curiously.
"What's up?"
"Why the fuck am I only an A-Class huh? I get why I'm not S-Class since I need humans to survive but come on! I could easily destroy the planet!" whined the entity, causing the other endless to chuckle.
"Beat me in the next dimension games and I'll change it" bet Ryan with a wink before he vanished into thin air.
"Asshole…" grumbled Max before chuckling.
"Business as usual it seems… wouldn't you say Dream?" asked Eva as the two females watched the other entities vanish.
"Yeah… business as usual" whispered Dream as she clutched her stomach, still unsure if the stabbing pains she felt was simply a phase…
Or the start of something worse…
A/N: This could be the start of something new!
It feels so right to be here with you?
Okay I'll stop now...
Gotta love those diary style beginnings, makes writing the first chapter hella easy!
So this will hopefully be a little lighter than volume's 1 and 2, updates will be every two weeks or until the Fairy Tail manga picks up speed!
Thus far no one has correctly guessed the next entity I will introduce (BTW it will be the main villain, spoilers!) but there is still time!
Remember if you guess I will turn you into an entity of your choice and insert you into this volume (assuming you want too and it's not an entity already present)
Other then that, please review and follow and fav and whatever else you can do...
And as always:
My name is Parradox and thanks so much for reading.
Bye!
