Ch 1 I knew the supernatural existed but come on
Hello, my name is Vercarokko the eighth son of Fëanor the first son of the High King of the Noldor Finwë. However, my story doesn't start here I was once Ranma Saotome "man amongst men" for all the good that title did me. I was reincarnated into this strange more magical than my own world, which should tell you I died. I died at twenty when my rivals finally did me in, usually I would have been able to fight them off stupidly easily however I was hindered by Shampoo's drugs and Akane's cooking which together made a lethal combination. I found myself in the best way to describe empty white space just by myself and by myself, I mean I had no body. I was fully aware but had no body I presumed I was in soul form as my body didn't even have an outline like Maomolin or those ghosts of the Tunnel of Lost Love. I spent who knows how long there, thinking to myself. When I finally made a realization, I was literally the only honorable member of the dubbed "Neriman Wrecking Crew", and I lost my life for nothing. Genma, Happosia, Soun, Shampoo, Mousse, Ryoga, Kuno, Kodachi, Pineapple Head, Taro and assorted characters such as the visiting Amazons and the bald ninjas need no real explanation.
Cologne committed dishonorable acts such switching the phoenix pill with candy, I won the pill fair and square that day, but she refused to admit my victory and give me the pill but what really gets my blood boiling is what she didn't do. She allowed all the Amazons in the area to commit dishonorable deeds and make insane plans that led to property extensively damaged and occasionally people hurt, she could have stopped them or punished them but did neither. Clearly the amazons are like my stupid panda of a former father, they preach honor and use it as a shield but when it comes to practicing it, they don't.
Akane was also dishonorable and clearly didn't love me much to my sad realization. In many ways she is as bad as the Kuno's, she is delusional about her martial skill, yes, she does possess a lot of power but in actual skill level she is a green belt when calm, when angry a white belt. She is a brawler and berserker not a martial artist, yet she believes she is one of the best martial artists in the area despite only sometimes doing kata's and mostly jogging and breaking bricks and dummies. She is also delusional about her cooking skills, she constantly tries to feed me that poison she calls food and never tries it herself or wonders why everyone else runs away. She is also delusional about males between the years 12 to 25 believing them all to be perverts that are after her body or at minimum want a good look at her. I agree that many of the males in Furinkan High fit this description but not all of them, but what made me realize she didn't love me was the wedding incident and all the times she doesn't trust me. To say she doesn't trust me is an understatement, I could be out of her site for five second and she would accuse me of feeling up girls mainly the other fiancés and hit me with a mallet without asking or waiting for me to explain the situation. Everyone knows I'm blunt the "Saotome foot in the mouth disease" and honest, so 99/100 times my story would be true and everyone else including her knows this. Does she ever believe me no, she automatically assumes the worst of me and hits me, but it was the wedding that really sent the message home. That barrel of Spring of Drowned Man was for me, yet she conspired with Soun and Genma to keep it hidden to force me to marry her, ironic when I think about it when she nearly accuses me of rape every other day and she nearly commits it. In hindsight I'm glad I didn't get the barrel as the springs mix as Taro proved, but neither I nor her knew this at the time.
Ukyo, it's all her guilt tripping that turned me away from her and the fact that we were never engaged in the first place for several reasons. One by making more than one marriage contract Genma invalidated them all. Two Ukyo's father already knew there was another engagement and expected the person who broke the previous engagement to make an engagement with him the moment food was mentioned to honor it. Three the cart wasn't the Kuonji's anymore as it was won by the Gambling King. Four and this invalidates number three although if you refuse to accept it as a legitimate reason it validates number 3 is that we were children. I was given a choice in terms of the engagement but wasn't informed about the entire context of the choice however children can't make legally binding contracts such as engagements and exchanging of property its illegal. So, we were never actually engaged in the first place.
Kasumi again like Cologne it's what she didn't do that annoyed me, she could have stopped at least some of the idot duo mad marriage and get rich quick schemes. She was also part of the conspiracy that kept the barrel of Spring of Drowned man away from me. However, it wasn't these acts that completely destroyed her honor it was the fact that she made Akane promise on her honor as a martial artist to not hit me in anger and when Akane broke this oath less than three hours later what did Kasumi do. She did nothing, she didn't remind Akane of her oath, punish her or strip her title of heir to the Tendo school of Anything Goes and banned her from practicing martial arts ever again.
My mother Nodoka is insane as shown by the seppuku contract, however what destroyed her honor was ignoring the faults and dishonor committed by her husband and the rest of the fiancés.
Hinako, despite her words to the contrary she was and served delinquents. If she was serious in getting rid of delinquency, she would have gotten rid of the Kuno's which would have solved 80% of Furinkans problems, the other 20% was partially my fault but most of it was self-defense. Instead, she supported Pineapple Head and allowed his son to assault fellow students and destroy school property on a regular basis, while constantly draining me, the only one who could or was willing to stop them. She actually made the problem worse than solving it.
The only person with an excuse for their actions is Nabiki. She had to sacrifice her childhood, her humanity and her honor when her mother died and Soun had a decade and a half breakdown. She was the breadwinner of the family the one who provided them with money for clothes, food and all the other items in the house. However, it wasn't her way of getting money that made her dishonorable in my eyes (no matter how annoyed I am at the pictures), she had no choice, it was the fact she was enjoying it. Whether Nabiki realized it or not she was some sort of sadist who enjoyed her power over others and making others worry/scared about their situation.
It was when I made this realization and realized how wasted my life was that someone new arrived or at least revealed themselves. I suddenly felt a presence, a powerful presence. I had grown stronger than Saffron ever since I faced him and was probably the most powerful being on Earth at the time in terms of raw power but this being made me feel like an ant. It was like the time I first faced Happosia and I saw a dragon form around him making me realize how outclassed I actually was but this being was far more impressive than that. That being said I didn't detect hostility coming from this being only purpose and strangely hope.
"I am Eru Ilúvatar" the voice of this large formless shapeless being declared. It sounded deep like a mountain spoke the words, yet it was also soft and kind like an elderly grandparent trying to explain something kindly to his mischievous grandchildren.
"I'm Ranma formerly Saotome and heir to the Saotome School of Anything Goes" I decided not to say "What do you want" in my normal disrespectable voice or tone since I had the feeling that this Eru could destroy with a thought if he wanted.
"Formerly?" Eru asked kindly with a hint of curiosity.
"I'm dead plus it is far more honorable to abandon the Saotome name and Anything Goes School thanks to my parents and fellow practitioners" I replied sourly. I had already made this realization, but it hurt to acknowledge it and to admit it, especially to a complete stranger. Yet there was something about this being that made me trust him and I knew he wouldn't tell others without my permission.
"Tell me about it" Eru asked.
I felt him, well the best way to describe it would be sitting down next to me even though that was impossible for formless being like us, but I obliged. I told him of the Seppuku contract the training trip, the multiple fiancés, the arrival and staying in the Tendo's, Furinkan High, the Amazons and all my adventures ending in my death. During this telling I kept my senses on Eru and I felt his emotions change regularly from anger to the Cat Fist training and the Seppuku contract, to amazement at the powers I and others had wielded, however I only felt the emotion of fear once when I told him about Saffron and how I, a mortal killed a God if only temporally. At the end I was tired as telling my life story as it was emotionally draining, and it highlighted to me that yes, I was used and abused my whole life.
Eru seemed to be contemplating something and appeared to be in deep thought, I however interrupted this with a question "You're a God, aren't you?".
"What makes you say that?" Eru respond slowly.
"I can sense emotions and when I told you about the fate of Saffron you were afraid" I said waiting and tensing to see what he would do.
He sighed "Yes" he replied, "I am a God, in my reality I would be the equivalent of your Kami".
I was surprised, the King of a pantheon of Gods here talking to me like a normal person and from another reality? I asked the question "You're from another reality?
"Yes, in fact there are many" amusement in his tone and I'm sure if I had a face my jaw would be on the floor and my eyes would be wide as I tried to comprehend the fact that there were many realities.
After recovering from the shock, I asked another question "What do you want with me?".
Again, he sighed, and I felt tiredness in his voice and posture if it could be called that. "It would be better if I showed you since it would take a thousand years to tell you the complete story in detail".
I felt a finger pressed against my head, how I don't know, and I had no time to contemplate this as a rush of images made their way into my head. I saw the creation of his reality and the song of the Aniur. I saw Melkor and his attempt to take control of the song. I saw the formation of Arda, The Batlle of Powers, the making of the Two Trees, the creation and journey of the Elves. I saw the Valar teach the elves and build a mighty civilization with their aid on the continent of Vallinor and I saw the Elves left behind build their own civilization without the aid of the Valar. I saw the awakening of the Dwarves and the creation of their stone halls. Then Melkor now known as Morgoth returned and I saw the events of the last Years of the Trees and the First Age. I saw such wonder and horror, cowardice and bravery, creation and destruction, the corruption of man until Morgoth was defeated and Belierand sunk beneath the waves. I saw the events of the Second Age, I saw the hope amongst the survivors of the First Age, the building of cities and Kingdoms and I saw that hope wither away when Sauron arrived. I saw his treachery and the rings forged and the fall of Eregion. I saw Númenor in all its glory and its eventual corruption and fall. I saw the War of the Last Alliance and the wiping out of the Entwives dooming an entire species to slow extinction. Again, I saw hope at the start of the Third Age, but it was less than the start of the Second Age. I saw the rise of Gondor and the fall of Arnor, I saw the Elves beginning to abandon Middle Earth and the Dwarves driven from their homes again and again. I saw the decline of Gondor and Sauron's last attempt to take over Middle Earth. The forces of the West succeeded despite the odds, but it was a pyrrhic victory the Elves left Middle Earth, the Dwarves, Ents, Eagles and numerous other species die out and then the images end.
I felt like I was on the floor with Eru looking over me "Why," I rasped "did you not stop it?"
He laughed but it was a painful laugh filled with despair and helplessness "Do you not think I would have if I could have?" he asked, "There are rules that restrain Gods from overtly interfering with mortals after their creation, why do you think your Kami does so little?"
"What about Saffron?" I asked.
"For a God to stay in the mortal world for a long period of time they have to give up the majority of their powers if the land is not prepared for them, but if they don't it changes, they change the area. How do you think Saffron's people gained wings or the pools of Jusenkyo were made or the fact that the valley of Jusenkyo exists despite being right beside a desert? A Gods presence warps reality around them and sometimes this warping of reality can be disastrous. Look at Mordor, once all of it was as fertile and filled with plant life as the area around the Sea of Nurnen but once Sauron made his abode in Northern Mordor Mt Doom erupted and the entire area around Sauron turned into an ash desert." He explained.
I nodded in understanding, Sauron was a Maia an equivalent of an angel and if that was his effect on the area surrounding him then Eru's could potentially be world ending. Still, that didn't answer my question and I asked, "What does that have to do with me"?
"I've been looking amongst realities for a champion capable of changing this fate, someone strong enough and charismatic enough to lead the people but not ambitious enough to seek to dominate my creation. I seek someone with enough knowledge to change the world but allow it to develop not overtake it by giving them the knowledge to build guns and other such things." he said.
Despite there being no eyes or face I could feel them on me, and I could feel hope coming from him. I on the other hand was shocked, this immortal nearly all powerful being was asking me for help, 'ME'. I admit I did fit the criteria, I was powerful enough to take on a minor God and win. I was charismatic enough that I made my rivals and fiancés work together on more than one occasion despite hating each other and me. I had enough knowledge to change the world in a handful of ways that would give the forces of the West an edge while I didn't know enough about modern technology to invent phones or electricity or even steam power. In short, I was the near perfect candidate and I admit it sounded tempting as I had accomplished nothing of real value in my previous life but here, I could make a difference, I could do what martial artists were supposed to do "protect the weak". I looked at him and asked, "What's the price or catch?".
Eru's hope seemed to increase as I realized what he was asking and didn't reject it outright and seemed to be pleased that I didn't immediately jumped in. "The price" he said "is that your soul will be taken from your world never to return, you would have to give up your world forever. The catch is that you will be reincarnated as the new eighth son of Fëanor and work out from there how to alter this fate and you will not receive the majority of your current powers and abilities till you are forty."
I thought about it, there really wasn't much I would miss in my old world, and I understood why he choose to reincarnate me as one of Fëanor's children since it would allow me to at least stop the oath and kin-slaying if nothing else. While forty seems like a long time especially since I died at twenty, that was still teenage years to the Elves, and it would be strange and dangerous for a baby to be able to destroy a wall by poking it. I looked at him "I accept" I simply said.
"Thank you and I'm sorry you have to clean up my and others messes" he replied and with that the area dissolved as I was sent to this new world and new life filled with magic.
