Welcome, dear Listener.
I have no idea what brought you here, at this time, however, I can only hope for the best for you, and the people you cherish.
As the modern world falls, another one rises from the ruins.
The age of primitive instinctions and savagery, the return to traditional hunting and gathering.
For we have reached the end of the World we know of, yet another time.
What caused it? Too many things and people to really make a scapegoat of them, I could begin listing and waste another cycle.
Could it be stopped? Depends, from where and when I stand, absolutely impossible. As the damage is done beyond repair.
I understand that I can no longer assist nor take part in saving the world even if such a thing is possible, yet, human nature is a complex bastard.
You, however, Listener.
Meanwhile I am incapable, the same cannot be said to you.
Heed me one final time, Listener. As I perish with this incomplete world, I entrust the lost legacy of a man unable to save the world even after hundreds of trials, to you.
Listen carefully to avoid the mistakes I have made, and do your best to overcome the obstacles I could not.
One man can overcome his destiny to shine brightly, as one of my partners used to say.
To change something in the limited time you have in this world, you have to act on it as soon as possible.
Something that separates me from the most is that I understand the abundance of time I have in contrast to their little time left.
When the time is due, death doesn't come knocking for most. However, on my part, death always came as a new beginning.
I have an unusual relationship with Lady Death, Listener.
She, hates me.
For I cannot, truly cease to exist.
I used to think it's the reason for my unfortunate existence, that I was somehow cursed by the Gods.
Yet, when they too fell, I understood. This is no curse, nor blessing. It was just, it.
If I'm moving at a pace you can't follow, I'm deeply sorry, Listener. However, even I can suffer from the shortage of time within my grasp.
The day before, I woke up to the sight of Beast of Apocalypse, gulping down on one of the dead bodies of my comrades.
So, I firmly believe that you can understand the circumstances I am in.
The Beast from the Book of Revelations does indeed exist, and its hunger is insatiable.
I, too, have revered it as a myth, long before civilization collapsed. I can assure you that the monsters under your bed are as real as you and I.
Trihexa, the devourer of Worlds, has awakened and nothing, nothing can stop it.
Heh… Even if by some miracle, I succeed in defeating the Beast on my own, you have to remember, Listener.
There is always a bigger fish.
In the case of Trihexa, the biggest fish known to our realm, If my memory serves me right I think I managed to beat it several times before the Beast could deliver the final blow to our World.
Yes, I can already hear you, Listener. To put down The Apex Predator is a great feat, even I take some time every now and then to marvel at the thought of that.
Yet, as it stands out, Trihexa is only the beginning.
In my limited time, I can't manage to point out every danger related to our realm.
If
IF
If you can overcome Trihexa while the World is still intact, this means that I managed to fulfill my duty and can take my anticipated rest.
The dangers that come after the World Ender?
I'm sorry… Listener.
I still haven't found a way.
For the Supernatural side of the Listeners, I have absolutely nothing but contempt and anger towards you.
That will not change. Although some of you, are indeed valuable assets that I can't overlook.
If you had not wallowed in old grudges, you could take up arms and stop the Beast before it unleashed its fury onto the Realms.
The Abrahamic Factions, I resent you.
Gods of Old and New, I resent you.
Shinto, I resent you.
Mount Olympos, I resent you.
Children of God, I truly resent you.
Most of all, I truly resent, the spawn of Lilith.
The Head of Qlippoth, I hate you.
I truly, truly hate you, Rizevim Livan Lucifer.
If I had one request, one wish, I would most definitely use it to track you down before you had time to unleash the Beast.
You, doomed us all.
I can not possibly even fathom what you wished to achieve by breaking the Seal, I have never thought of it.
I could never understand you, before I met with your Grandson, Vali.
On that day, I could finally realize what you hoped to gain.
Then… My resentment turned into a form of hate you can't even understand.
Never in my life, I thought I could hate someone as much as I hate you.
I know that I can no longer affect you, as you became the patient zero of the Beast.
However, I swear, I swear I will make you pay.
Not on this cycle, probably not on the next.
However, I promise.
Let this be my oath, I will find a way.
For you have made yourself an enemy of all creation, I pray that you will find the most painful of endings in all creation, forever.
Listener…
In this doomed world, you should not trust everyone you encounter.
Even when Apocalypse roars, there are entities with whom you should withhold from interacting.
Thieves, murderers, the guilty.
As civilization collapses, they seize every opportunity, without shame nor regret.
Their conscience runs rampant, their hearts pump throughout the World, for they can commit the hideous sins without guilt.
Use them, and throw them when they're of no use once.
I have done it, everyone has done it. You should, as well.
If you feel uneasy, that I can understand as you are still, shackled to the belief of morals.
Take a look around when the Beast awakens, that should help you get rid of them fairly quickly.
To survive, you must first abolish the very idea of humanity.
There is no humanity, nor civilization to save.
Every man to himself, Listener.
Listener
For what it's worth, thank you.
If you made it this far, I can only pray for your safety.
As this message starts to broadcast, It will be too late.
It's rather ironic, this ability of mine.
I would love to delve into it, yet, as it stands, I have no time left.
As one life ends, another begins, Listener.
On the Zero Hour, I will be amongst you all.
Best of Luck.
Hyoudou Issei, out.
Well, due to my limited time I was only able to crunch this much. I think its adequate for a fic like this tbf, I could make it a lot more longer but like I said, I'm on a bit of rush here.
When I come around again, I'll try to explain the state of the world a bit more thoroughly.
