Yeah, I don’t really know what exactly they are, but I really want to know more.
My analysis can only look through their basic info, but I wasn’t able to properly see their entire status for some reason.
Perhaps being a reincarnated person makes their souls stronger so they cannot be read by my Ability? I cannot see what Unique Skills they have either, so it is very confusing.
“Well, when we gained consciousness, we were merely two lumps of flesh,” Said Takeshi.
“From then on, our minds slept and came back in intervals. We were raised inside cold tubes and strange liquids… we are beings made of many parts fused together into a whole living being similar to a demi-human; we are Homunculus,” Said Laura.
“We remember well what that crazy old man had said back then… I think he said we were the vessels of the Dark God or something. That we were made to harbor his powers, and that we were made using parts of his fragments,” Said Takeshi.
“It was until very late that we realized what we truly were… We read some of his documents when we were finally left free from the tubes. We were trained to move, read, and more. He gave himself the time to actually make us learn what we were from the beginning,” Said Laura.
“We don’t take him as a good person, but he did this so we could learn quickly to use our own bodies,” Said Takeshi.
“Wait, wait, wait… Hold on a second. The vessels of the Dark God!?” I asked.
The Dark God… A corrupted God that once tried to destroy this world. I don’t know much about it, but according to folklore, he was part of the 80 plus gods that resided in this world after having created it. For unknown reasons, he was corrupted and became mad.
The other gods had to defeat him and destroy his body. Each of his fragments ended up leaking tremendous quantities of dark power, which ended up falling around the world and corrupting it with monsters and strong dark energies.
They say that demons originate from his body, and what I mean by demons, I mean the Majin, such as Goblins. Monsters too, are said to come from it, although they also come from dungeons, which the Chaos God made as trials for the mortals. I know that my family in this world used to hold a fragment of the Dark God— a Fragment of Evil, as they call it.
Our ancestor used to be a Hero, and he had sealed this fragment of evil in the holy underground areas of our large territory, where it was something like a treasure, although it couldn’t be sold or used. After all, it was a terrifying evil that was being held there.
The whole drama with my family, how they killed my parents, how they killed me, how they destroyed everything in my life, was to get their hands on this.
And now, after getting their hands on it, the entire Kingdom is most likely doing millions of things with it. And the black potions are already one of them.
These potions enhanced the power of anybody and could even be used as fantastic necromancy materials to make overpowered Undead.
And now, they were doing Homunculus projects, trying to use the tiny black crystal that grew around the Fragment of Evil as a core of a half-monster half-demi-human homunculus. It seems Laura and Takeshi are the first successful subjects… and there were many failed other ones.
We had fought two of them recently. The wolf and the slime who were homunculus too, or chimera, I don’t know. But they were failures and were reduced to mere monsters whose minds were being constantly tortured.
They explained this and more as we continued speaking.
“So they’re trying to make a new living being that has the power of fully wielding the fragment of evil… For what purpose?” Pondered Lucifer.
“What’s the point of doing something so horrendous… if the Dark God can really be revived through such a method… wouldn’t everything end? Why are humans so obsessed with self-destruction…” Sighed Emeraldine.
“The scientist said that our existences would bring a new era….” Said Takeshi.
“But we didn’t want this… we wanted to live freely. After dying in our previous lives, we wanted to live this life without regrets,” Said Laura.
“I see… I understand how it feels,” I said.
“This… Is this being run by the government? Or the Vampires in the shadows… or wait, both?” Lucifer pondered once again.
“The scientist that created us was a Vampire Subordinate,” Said Laura.
“So those damn Vampires are in this too? Are they in everything bad that’s going on?” I muttered.
“Most likely, after retrieving the Fragment of Evil from your family, the Kingdom had begun experiments on it, and many pieces of this fragment, such as the leftover secretions and outgrows that this fragment produces. Also, with this black crystal, which they named Demonite, and that black liquid named Miasma… they’re most likely trying to make weapons of war with them… The Kingdom is ambitious. They are colluding with the Vampires families who have the resources and the personnel to create such experiments… This is a guess, but perhaps now that the Demon Kingdom is gone, they want to expand. There are many other Human Kingdoms, after all, right? They want to conquer everything using this Fragment of Evil as their greatest weapon,” Explained Lucifer.
“Ugh, no way… This is awful,” I muttered.
“It all gets more intricate as we delve deeper. This entire conspiracy has been going on for much longer than we initially believed. Perhaps even before getting your family’s fragment… Could it be… they already had fragments beforehand? This is why my lord, the Demon King, feared humans so much. They have no considerations towards self-preservation nor the preservation of the world… they are barbaric and greedy. By experimenting more and more with these fragments… they’re risking the entire world to collapse into Chaos!” Shouted Lucifer.

chaos brings change by destroying the corrupt order.
I don't see chaos as something bad, caos is necessary
change is not always pleasant but it breaks stagnation and rot
a new age always begins when the previous age is destroyed by chaos
Chaos can also reduce all to nothing. It's the epitome of arrogance to think you can perfectly manipulate it to your desired outcome. Terminal stupidity at its finest.
@AnimeFreak1982 that human misunderstanding nothing is erased. the energy is only transformed.
Whether it's dark matter or basic atoms, nothing is erased, destruction is just a state. not the end of everything.
chaos is only the beginning and the end but everything continues within the cycle of destruction and creation.
cycle that is maintained, unless of course it is broken and devoured by the ocean of vacuum (dark matter) and the energy is transformed into vacuum.
our existence was part of the emptiness in the beginning that the chaos arose
our soul each star each mountain each atom the air the water and each planet each living being was part of the void but everything transforms everything changes everything evolves thanks to the energy of chaos;
chaos is a particle, an element, a condensation of everything, an energy in one, all in one;
chaos arose from emptiness and thus the universe arose from chaos then chaos is divided into many elements and thus the universe is born that is what the bible says but humans have never understood it.
"the universe was born from chaos and god brought order" (that's basically the phrase although I don't think any god existed in the beginning))
@Dreckons "that human misunderstanding nothing is erased. the energy is only transformed." That's only until we perfect the anti-matter bomb. A physically impossible piece of sci-fi you say? Perhaps, but in a world with magic literally erasing matter suddenly becomes a whole lot more plausible.
@AnimeFreak1982 antimatter is already possible, it only needs to break the atoms and the vacuum absorbs the internal energy of the atom that can be done by bombarding the atoms with radiation.
radiation is just a disease of the atoms that unbalances the rotations of the electrons and the interior of the atom escapes through the fissures of the electron shield throwing billions of needles of internal energy from atoms around.
surely you have never seen an electronic microscope the small spheres around the atom rotate at such a speed so fast that they create an energy shield around the atom and that shield protects it from dark matter. in summary.
there is no mystery.
@Dreckons Sorry, I must of used the wrong term by mistake. I was trying to refer to a weapon I once saw mentioned in a sci-fi game that erases matter, not transforms it to a different state just completely obliterates it to nothing which as you pointed out defies the law of conservation of mass. I guess I just misremembered the name of the weapon. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
@Dreckons
"chaos is only the beginning and the end but everything continues within the cycle of destruction and creation."
Ironically enough, chaos is better at defining everything in between the beginning an the end. It doesnt define the bookends too well.
Chaos is a series of phenomena (usually continuous) that are so unpredictable that they seem random. On the contrary to what some might think, the first few moments of the beginning were fairly predictable.
It took some time for things to really start pulling each other around. Not much, but enough to seperate it from the so called beginning.
Simmilarly, the end will most likely be fairly predictable as well. As the universe moves from a state of low entropy to high, eventually there just simply won't be a high enough concentration of energy in a singular place to cause any real phenomenon at all.
Now, im not a physicist, so im sure theres a whole lot of stuff that i either misunderstood or just plain didnt mention because im ignorant of it. Thats not really relevant though given the fact that this isnt intended to be some "Gotcha!" kind of comment.
You said something I thought was interesting and i replied with something I thought was interesting.
Hope it feeds the hungry nerd in you. :p
@BananaFaktory66 although chaos is an energy, not really a phenomenon, that energy causes effects to its surroundings and random phenomena, not the contrary, it can be created by condensing billions of atoms in one point and controlling the unstable reaction of chaos with a gravity well, so the chaos drops are created.
That is what Black Holes are made of, the primordial matter that makes up the universe the energy extracted from the vacuum, processed, transmuted and stored in gigantic atoms that we call black holes.
@Dreckons that's interesting. I dont believe I've ever heard that theory before. But, hey, what the hell do I know. Im just a normal dude with a mild infatuation with anything cosmological. I don't proclaim to know or comprehend even a fraction of how the universe works.
I will say this. The limited information that I've consumed on the topic has always described chaos as a state of being for energy, not as an energy itself.
"Chaotic energy" wouldnt necessarily be an Energy that has chaotic properties. It would be energy that is moving in a chaotic manner. Energy has a limited amount of ways that it can present itself as far as we know. I.E.: Potential, Chemical, kinetic, so on and so forth. Chaotic is not one of them.
Chaotic would be an adjective we'd attach to those forms of energy to describe its volatility, if my understanding isn't failing me.
Black holes are a bit misleading as well. A black hole is, in essence, a celestial body that has a gravitational pull so concentrated and mass so densely compacted (which is pretty much saying the same thing twice :p) that it literally warps the fabric of space time around it.
Every body of mass does this to a certain extent. Black holes, howerver, do so to an extent that not even light can escape that warping past a certain point (the Event Horizon).
I rember watching something a while ago that explained as light travelling in a straight line through that space. The space, being significantly manipulated by the blackholes mass and density, shifts to create a kind of retrograde spiral in towards the center of that mass.
The light is still technically travelling in a straight line. Think of the games at the arcade that you put a coin in an it roles around a funnel until it finally drops into hole in the center. Though there not comepletely the same, the effect should give an idea of what's supposedly happening.
Although the name sounds cool, black holes are just bodies of mass that are too concentrated to allow light to escape.
As for what types of phenomenon happen within a black hole... well, you'll have to ask someone way smarter than me for that answer. You are the first person I've ever heard use the term "Chaos Drops" though. Sorry but I don't think I can co-sign that one. Sounds a bit too sci-fi/fantasy for me. No shade.
@BananaFaktory66 In the end, the goal of all existence is defined with a single purpose and it explains everything incredibly well.
"to prevent dark matter from condensing itself within our universe, into that tar-like substance and start to be born those eldrazil creatures, the chains of gravity and the poison of time keep them controlled and out of our space" we also exist with the same purpose, to create energy extract it from the vacuum and then deliver it after our death, something curious the universe likes to create small things that create a snowball effect that results in a large scale avalanche.
@Dreckons oh, my bad. I should have known we were talking fictional stuff given the context of the story. I thought I found an oportunity to go all cosmo-geek and jumped feet first.
*taps the side of head with fist*
Props to the Lovecraftian angle though. I dig it.
