Law of Incongruity

by SecretWyvern

To dive into Dark Souls is quite straightforward. You take the obvious step of buying the game. Be that as it may the callousness of Dark Souls is what truly separates the masses. Logan is a somewhat average individual. By cause of an anomaly, he has had his soul ripped out of his body, traversing time and space to a land of unformed fog, an expanse of emptiness. Heavily AU!

1. Prologue

"So yeah, when I was in Sen's Fortress, I accidentally hit that one Onion guy and he fell off the cliff." His friend spoke. "I hope he is immortal like I am, looked like a nice guy."

Logan paused. His mind in turmoil, he opened the door to his small but cosy apartment.

'You son of a bitch.' Logan thought.

'He must be doing this on purpose, how can you possibly kill three NPCs in a row?'

"Hey, listen, you really shouldn't have done that." he murmured. "Siegmeyer of Catarina is an extremely important part of the series you know? How could you kill a longtime favourite?!"

Unsure of how to respond to Logan's remark, Alexander laughed evilly, "Hehe, after all the punishment I have gone through, I'm still supposed to be nice to the NPCs? Forget it!"

Logan's answer to that malicious remark was to hang up his phone. He washed his hands by the sink in his kitchen and sat on the couch in the middle of his modest living room.

To Logan, Dark Souls was an extremely interesting game. He grew up in a normal family home in the countryside. He had two loving parents and a good childhood if only a pampered one. His parents gave away all the money they saved for over 25 years to give him a chance to go to college.

He was grateful for the opportunity and took up the challenge, graduating 5 years later as an accountant. However, not all was well. After his graduation, he started doubting himself.

Logan was a weak-willed individual, and his interests wavered heavily over the years. That's when he stumbled upon Dark Souls. He admired the way the chosen undead never gave up on his task. Trying out the game, he soon found himself finishing all three of the souls series.

Dark souls helped him out of his depression, giving him satisfaction no other game has ever achieved. It is why his friends tease him, calling him a loremaster, as a result of watching hours upon hours of lore videos.

Checking the clock, Logan turned on his television for the evening news.

"Be sure to look out of your windows tonight at 11 PM for the biggest meteor shower of the century! Scientists and enthusiasts alike have been anticipating this phenomenon for over two months. It was disclosed that this anomaly could cause a weakening of Earth's magnetic field and create beautiful lights the likes of which had never been seen before. It would be a grand shame to miss-"

Before Logan could process what was happening, a massive crack broke open space in the middle of his apartment, instantly annihilating the entire building.
