Open Worlds
Prologue
This is the story of a dark and undesirable future that will come to pass unless mankind stops it's lust for power and greed. Not too far from now a man will be born, a man named Relic. Relic was once a mere man, however he was picked on for a few things. He was never the skinniest of people and was quite concerned about his weight. Sadly he was also bullied for this reason up and through his early schooling.
Thus began this sad tale, as he wished for great power and would work at any cost to himself or others to achieve it. Relic began to take fighting lessons and weapons skills classes after he dropped out of regular schooling. He progressed from each one as if nothing at all would stop him. Slowly but surely he slimmed down, and with his new strength and skill no one would have dared to pick on him. This did not stop him however from wanting power, as he began to work even harder to get it. He worked until he was at the top of his class. Now eighteen years of age and considered a man in most respects he had also trained his intelligence so as to not be fooled. He was truely a remarkable man for eighteen. Now at the top of his class, only one man stood in his way and stopped him from gaining the power he desired - his master, who wore an astounding suit of armor.
Finally after another year of training Relic decided he was ready and challenged his master. The battle was long and drawn out. It came down to the fists meeting eachothers' faces. Relic was sent to the ground the master only laughed. Relic's eyes gleamed with rage, he rose to his feet, reached for a knife, and with it he killed his master! Relic would then say "The Epic Armor is now mine!" as he took the armor off his dead masters body and placed it upon himself. "This power... is amazing! The power within this suit is unstoppable" he would say as an evil which lived in the armor slowly but surely consumed his soul. As Relic pressed forward in his studies and need for power, the evil grew more malovelent. Another year had past since the day and now the evil had manifested it self in Relic's mind. The evil would tell Relic of other universes and places that contained power even greater than his. Relic would be enraged that anyone was stronger than him in any way, shape, or form.
Thus he set out on a quest, and left the planet in a space ship stolen from the United Space Federation (USF). As he launched off on his journey he had yet to set a destination when the evil informed him of mystical objects known as wishing shards. Currently they could only be found on the planet Solomon, home to the Genie race. Relic set course and although it took him five years to get there he did. As soon as he got there he began killing and enslaving the innoncent. His armor being immune to magic, the Genies were no threat to him.
Relic needed to collect the ten wishing shards if he ever was to make his dream come true. It took him another three years but eventually Relic had finally collected all ten shards. He formed them together to create a wishing gem, once this was done a large and all powerful Genie was summoned. Relic was to be granted three wishes of his choosing, first he choose extreme strength and skill. With the second wish, he wished to be embued with the power to control the minds of people, but was only granted control over the weak and easily corrupted people. With his third wish, he wished for all universes to not only be combined into one Ultiverse, but to have control over it. As this wish was granted the universes would begin merging into one causing horrific and terrible life loss across the universes as the merged. A few planets were lucky enough to stay the same but others we're split, each half of another planet. The planet Arion is one such instance, it merged the Demon and Anglic home world to form this atrocity. A place nothing short of a living hell as the two races fight it out in an endless struggle for dominance. This is only one of the huge number of disasters caused by Relic as the universes merged.
By now the evil had consumed most of his soul, Relic tried to justify is act in his last bit of guilt saying "The universes were overpopulated anyway" even this however could not stop his conscience. So in an attempt to escape the guilt and feel no more pain, Relic let the evil completely consume his soul. This would create the utter super power of evil that the ultiverse now faces. A man without guilt or conscience, a man who cares not what he does or who he does it to, and a man who is in full control of the ultiverse. Relic however can not be in more than one place.
Relic decided to create a world at the meeting of the realms and planets. Relic would command from here and would only leave for special occasions. Relic would then summon all the evil and corruptable men and women he could find. He would take over their minds and instill them with not only evil natures and tendencies but the power to commit them. He would spread them to guard the major planets and have others ready to attack the non important planets if neccessary. These most powerful of warriors were now his planetarian guardians and would watch over the universe for him.
Meanwhile he also assembled another group of evil but of a little less power. He would inflict them the power to use dark magic, these became his dark knights and would serve Relic in any matter he needed. The true nature of Relic had been shown and now this evil had been born. A group of warriors has now appeared to try and defeat Relic, these people are known as Paladins and use the power of good to try and fight Relic. Sadly their numbers are dwindling and they pose no real threat at the moment and are unknown for the most part. Now a few years later the ultiverse is in complete despair, this is where our story begins as a group of warriors all with their own seperate interests and needs unwittingly has set out to destroy Relic and all he stands for. This is the story of Open Worlds.
