- What is the Xonkigren?

  - The Xonkigren is not a monster species; rather, it is a named evil, a living notion representing the ideal of corruption and madness. And possesses all abilities relating to those two notions. It is a perverse existence that delights in toying with the lives of both the innocent and the wicked. In order to become stronger, it feeds on the terror and pain of the living. The Xonkigren is one of 77 names for evil that have been sealed up in a box that predates even the Gods of this realm and time itself. In it was chaos, but in today's civilization, the Xonkigren would be referred to as one of the monsters that Pandora unintentionally released when Zeus tested her, bringing chaos to overwhelm the human realm. The Xonkigren is the first and the oldest of the 77 evils, representing the corruption of the living, as such there is only one in existence. Legend has it that it was a Xonkigren that tempted Pandora to break it free from its cage, by stimulating her curiosity, and now it has returned in a rather unorthodox way.

 

Nier read all of this newfound information in his thoughts and was astounded by how powerful the Xonkigren truly was. And was even more surprised to discover that it is not a monster, but rather a living concept manifested in a physical form. And the race name isn't a species racial name! This was this thing's actual name.

 

Of course, Nier had no intention of adopting that moniker as his new name! He prefers his current name. As such, he is simply Nier, the living concept that represents the idea of corruption and madness.

 

Why, now that he thinks about it, does he relish the prospect of spreading corruption and chaos? He used to have a very gentle if not reasonable existence as a human, but now he only wants to torment and toy with the closest living person he comes into contact with. Was it because monsterfication transformed the user's psyche to match the intrinsic characteristics of the genuine monster, or was it innate, or was it his own corruption luring him to sin?

 

And then that's when he began to hear his own voice in his head, whispering to him in a tempting manner.

 

'Your hunger has reached 39%... you need to eat, you can't work on a hungry stomach now can you, the world as we know it is soon going to go to shit, let's look for some women, children, the old, anyone really... let's spread chaos, and savor the sweet taste of the agony of the living.'

 

'Let us smash their bones, rend their skin, boil their flesh, and swim in everyone's blood. And kill to satisfy your wants.... come on, you know you want to play, so play. Yes, go ahead and r*ape the wife of the happiest married couple you can find, and shatter the spirit of their lovers as they helplessly watch you delight their wives, daughters, or mothers in ways they could never imagine.'

 

'Or, better still, go wreak havoc on the environment around you, to hell with morale values, what a dull concept. Yes, join the orchestra of screams as you enjoy the song of the mass genocide you will commit. Consider how satisfying it will be to see everyone squirm like ants while you happily murder an entire city. Go ahead and unleash your wicked ambitions on the world, killing everyone in the most horrible way possible while laughing at their anguish, after all, their suffering is your proper nourishment... or perhaps you can seduce someone into total darkness and let... them... cook. Oh, it's art, beautiful art; after all, disharmony manifests itself in a variety of ways.'

 

The voices were like sweet enticing whispers cradling the mind. Despite knowing that this is illegal and that he should be ashamed of himself for thinking of doing such heinous things. But regardless of that, Nier couldn't help but imagine all his inner darkness whispered to him, and more. It was all too tempting, just picturing a scenario where he could take advantage of the weak, trample them like ants, and play with them like the dolls they are was too enticing for him to pass up. And he didn't want to admit it, but his inner thoughts made him rejoice in his newfound freedom. No, his mind had been liberated from the constraints of good and wrong, and all that remained was the pleasure of pure corruption.

 

These were his thoughts narrating his imagination to him, was he always this mentally screwed in the head, Nier wonder to himself, no! That couldn't be right?

 

He questioned, but the pleasure that came with a meal was too mind-boggling to abandon these evil desires. Yeah, it wasn't his fault; it was his bad luck to be born into a race that stimulates or even creates his evil desires to begin with. Of course, he was still Nier Featherburn Agustus, but darker. He would have to live with that, his fuck up mindset, and fall from grace came with the race he knew nothing about. But to survive in this fuck up world, it was but a small price to pay.

 

His life had been nothing but a dreadful curse for as long as he could remember, watching his grandfather die by a mad bitch, and his father die by his mentally deranged mother. He feared women, he willingly assumed the title of a queer, and he separated himself from the opposite sex in dread of Yandere bitches condemning him to the same destiny as his forefathers. The life of an Agustus man was nothing but madness, and when his father, whom he adored, died, he couldn't help but be happy for him. Seeing he was free from the curse of being loved, or so he always believed.

 

"That's right, why should I care about what I've become when the world is going to end anyway?" And what have I done in my life to demonstrate that I enjoy it in the first place? Nothing! That's all I've done; I've had to hide in terror, like the useless coward that I am, so no more Ishtar, fuck you and your curse. If those Yandere babes desire me, let them come; I will crush, break, and force them to submit to my authority, or simply murder them when they become too troublesome. "I'll show them the deepest pit of the rabbit hole that is I, The Xonkigren Nier."

 

"Hehehe! I can't wait, to hell with morals, I used to be blind but now I see, to hell with everything nice. If there is a higher God, he could kiss my ass and lick the earth that I walk on, strike me now if you dear you heavenly fucker, if I die attempting to fulfill my needs, then be it, I don't care anymore."

 

"Because I refuse to kneel to anyone, not God, the Zenomen, Gaia, or anyone else." I will corrupt everything and anything to my liking, and I will murder even if there is no cause to do so, I am the worst, and I enjoy it, just as I am proud of it... I am who I am.... and there is no changing who I am.... or, better yet, what I have become."

 

These were the words of acceptance that Nier spoke, as no one else was present to witness his pledge. And it didn't take long for him to embrace his inner Xonkigren. If cliche fantasy Elves were benevolent beings, he was a sick fuck who could pass for a Dark Eldar in the 40k universe, which was his favorite tabletop game he used to play with his friends back in the day.

 

But, just as he was smiling to himself, he felt a connection to his book, as his own voice came back into his thoughts, notifying him of progress.

 

"You have grown slightly stronger due to absorbing your own corrupted desires into yourself." As a result, you now have a total of +150 corrupt energy absorbed into your cells, further enhancing your being."

 

The voice in Nier's head both baffled and reminded him that he needed to investigate his powers. He is well aware of his corruption and madness manipulation. But to what degree can he use the power he wields, and how far can he go?

 

As a result, he began to return to his notebook to see what page he needed to go to, and he began to read. And it wasn't long before he went ahead and skipped forward to pages 21-22 to view his Inherent Abilty Tree and all it had to offer.

 

And he was surprised to see what the ability tree had to offer with its two-skill configuration.

 

[Passive]

 

Negative Energy Absorption: This ability enables you to passively absorb negative energy into your cells, which is energy generated by any negative emotions or desires, it can also absorb energy from physical, or mental agony and distress. And the longer you spend soaking in this energy, the stronger you will become, providing you with a permanent boost in physical power as time goes on.

 

Dark Impulses: Is comparable to Gaia's creation of the voice of the world to prepare mankind for the rupture, this ability is like a helper that whispers knowledge into your ears. As one of the 77 name evils, it knows what is best for you; it is essentially your instinct with a tinge of awareness. It is your inner voice that will never betray you. To the voice, there has always been only you.

 

Equivalent Exchange: The ability to transform Negative Energy into Corruption points, which are points that the user may utilize to build whatever ability the user can envision or desire. There is nothing this power cannot produce, even omnipotence can be wished for if you have enough points. And the user will know how much an ability costs right away thanks to the passive ability "Dark Impulses."

 

Vision of the Wicked: Those six eyes aren't just for show; all six can see through the curtain that separates the living and the dead, as well as the very truth of the universe itself. They can analyze information at high speeds, calculate probability after enough analysis, and even predict the future with 99.9% accuracy through mathematical calculations after enough information has been calculated. Each eye is connected to six brains located in different parts of your body which behaves like a HIVE Mind, all of which process information faster than any supercomputer on the planet.What makes them a force to be reckoned with, however, is their ability to see spirits, bonds, and even curses, as well as a person's thoughts in subtitle formats above their head, as well as that person's greatest sins and desires, as well as their names, age, and darkest secrets. It also allows you to see the worst side of people via their souls, and you can even see through walls, clothes, objects, and body parts, nothing that is invisible can escape your eyes regardless of the reason why you shouldn't be able to see them. 

 

[Active]

 

- Corruption Empowerment: The ability to temporarily improve your general physical strength or supernatural/magical attacks provided by your class choice in order to become faster, stronger, and more durable by sacrificing Corruption points as payment for the increase in power. 

 

- Shadow Manipulation: The ability to manipulate, modify, and control all types of shadows; with this skill, you can travel everywhere that has a shadow because all shadows are linked as one. It also provides you with complete immunity to all sorts of shadow magic and shadow-based attacks. If you are hit by any shadow base assaults, whether magical or supernatural, you can copy that ability or spell regardless of the power source because it will simply become a part of this active ability.

 

- Corrupted Cells: The ability to manipulate one's actions through one's cells; with this power, your cells have the ability to infect a host body, and once infected, you can control a person's body down to the cellular level; although it takes time to fully infect each of the person's cells with your own, and once complete you can bend a person's mind with this ability, driving them insane by messing with their perception of reality, altering their memories and sense of identity, or just straight up shatter their minds completely. However, depending on how strong that person's immune system is, types of mana, or general strength as a whole it can take longer to completely control said person, or your cells will be destroyed as a result of the victim's power.

 

These were Nier's natural abilities, and when he realized how busted he was, he couldn't help but smile evilly.
