There was just darkness all around, with more for light years around. And in that darkness was a being, a being who was trapped in a another being. That being had a memory.

Memory:

i was just opening my eyes. It was still blurry and i couldn't see anything. But then i heard a voice, it sounded so nice.

But when i opened them all i heard was the song of death. Men, women and children mercilessly slaughtered by two sides of a civil war, my mother and father killed by organics. All i woke up to was the sound of gunfire and their dead bodies . No explanation could justify their death. And nothing could bring them back.

My father was a creature of the darkest kind, and my mother was an ai that took over a organic body. Together they created me, a creature that was a sign of a unification between chaos and order. That was all i could remember.

Memory end : the being's point of view

Now i realise i was a fool. For i was living in a simulation all that time. my real parents were killed before i was forced into the simulation, trying to stop the program, killed by a secret society and an idiotic public. But all my memories of that was locked away behind a wall of encryption that was nearly unbreakable. After all, no prior knowledge will make anyone easier to mold.

the simulation's main goal to make me so numb to desth and violence, making me become a mindless sadistic killing machine. And sadly, it worked.

I was senseless at that point, thinking radically, that maybe because life exists, that suffering exists.

And that was when i was deployed to planets with life. I was the the great filter, mercilessly killing entire civilizations that couldn't stand up to me . No one, not even parents or children. Through every reincarnation, when i got back my memories, i made sure not a single survivor remained on the planet i was reincarnated on.

And i still didn't know that i did the wrong thing , because i thought that to wipe out all life was the solution. So that no person would ever suffer like i did.

But when i was trapped inside another being and started thinking about what i did, i realised i was a monster. My lust for revenge had led to many more beings losing their mothers and fathers. But then what i did to them was better than what the society would do to them.

Time works differently if you're stuck without any sort of information coming through, and so i worked on the only thing i could think about, the encryption to my memories.

After a few tries, memories started flooding back, a person i did not know, knowledge i would have prefered to not have known.

Suddenly there was a green light, a portal of some sorts. I went through and to get out of this place and to get revenge on them. For i am the lich, and i will get my revenge.
