Archaic Legends

In the wake of their much-needed rest, Sonngild, the charismatic captain of the Eklipsiar crew, stood at the helm, ready to guide his brothers back into the fray. The crew, their spirits rejuvenated and their resolve renewed, burst into shouts of joy, eager to continue their conquest. They were keenly aware that their journey was just beginning, and the path ahead was fraught with ever more powerful demons.

The toll of their relentless battles, however, was starting to show. Many among the Eklipsiar crew bore grievous wounds, testament to the grueling trials they had faced. They pushed themselves to their limits and beyond, and the miraculous events that had saved them before were unlikely to repeat themselves. Their precious rest times dwindled to mere minutes, and their supplies were running low. Yet, their determination remained unwavering.

As they set forth once more, their campaign taking them from one city to another, the Eklipsiar crew sought to emulate the grand feats of ancient legends. Among those legends, one stood supreme—the tale of War Seeker and his twenty Spartans. This was an age when gods walked the earth, in a realm known as Bascias, a world where chaos and brutality reigned supreme.

In this world, gods were beings of unimaginable power, defying the very laws of logic. They were creators and destroyers, the arbiters of balance, and the manifestations of intangible wills. However, this world was far from divine; it was a place where most gods reveled in malevolence, driven by insatiable bloodlust, and spread evil with reckless abandon.

Their paradise was a realm known as Khaotrus, where women were subjugated, riches flowed like water, and servants catered to their every whim. These gods were capricious and tyrannical, desiring everything and refusing to relinquish their grip on this utopian realm.

Amidst this turmoil, five gods emerged as a beacon of hope. The first was War Seeker, a deity renowned for his insatiable love of war and conquest. Now, however, he was weary of the eternal bloodshed, for it no longer provided him with the thrill of true challenge. He longed for battles that could truly test his mettle, ones that brought the joy of victory and the sting of defeat.

The second was Fallen Pride, an angelic figure who oversaw both heaven and hell. His judgment had been skewed by the overwhelming evil that had engulfed the realms. Hell had become a sanctuary for sinners, and the balance between good and evil had been thoroughly disrupted.

The third was the World Sustainer, tasked with preserving the balance of the world itself. Frustrated by the overwhelming evil that had overtaken the world, he sought to restore equilibrium to a realm ravaged by lawlessness.

The fourth was Archaic Light, the god of the sun, responsible for guarding the source of all life. His duty was to protect the sun from beings that sought to steal its power, but other sun deities had abandoned their responsibilities in pursuit of mortal pleasures.

The fifth were the Equilibrium Deities, representing opposing forces that maintained balance in the universe.

These deities became the saviors of what remained of life on Khaotrus, even though they could not fully restore balance on their own. Their powers were restricted by an omnipotent being known as the Omniscient One, who held the key to unlocking their true strength.

The strength of these deities was intricately tied to their legends, achievements, and stories. The greater the legend, the more powerful the deity. Everything that defined their existence, their powers, and even their desires was governed by their will and the wishes of the Omniscient One. The Omniscient One was a being who had transcended gods and immortality, achieving omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence. He was a force even the gods themselves would worship.

War Seeker, impatient and weary of waiting, decided to launch a crusade to conquer minor gods in their humble homeland. As he faced the major gods, whose legends, achievements, and stories rivaled his own, he knew they were plotting against him, and he prepared for a battle that would go down in history.

However, the major gods, fearing his growing power, formed an alliance to oppose the bloodthirsty War Seeker. They believed that by uniting their strength, they could halt his unstoppable advance. Yet, as they launched their attack, War Seeker appeared on the battlefield with newfound strength, granted by the Omniscient One himself.

They don't believe the blessings granted by the Omniscient One itself. However in their doubts and such, they were all proven wrong. For the Omniscient One only seeks joy, the entertainment that the War Seeker provides is in itself a bliss. It takes no side nor is he against any, it only shows interest once he was struck with boredom. And after the many centuries of watching the Gods in their dystopian utopia, he grew bored and thus gave blessing to War Seeker.

With his twenty Spartans by his side, War Seeker became an unstoppable force on the battlefield. As they swept through their foes, their strength grew with each victory. The legends that ridiculed War Seeker failed to acknowledge the true source of his power—the blessing from the Omniscient One.

The gods, overwhelmed by War Seeker's might and prowess, found themselves powerless to stop his advance. Their legends were tarnished, and their achievements faded into obscurity. The gods who fell in battle were stripped of their authority and divine powers, descending to the mortal realm as mere shadows of their former selves. Those who died in battle became little more than myths, fading into the annals of legend, forgotten by time itself.

Unbeknownst to the gods, the source of War Seeker's power lay in the blessing of the Omniscient One, a secret they were not privy to. This unique blessing granted him unparalleled strength and growth with each victory.

However, as War Seeker and his Spartans continued their victorious campaign, the Omniscient One began to grow wary of his ascent. Realizing the threat that War Seeker posed, the Omniscient One decided to intervene. He manipulated the threads of fate to ensure War Seeker's downfall, altering the course of history itself.

As War Seeker fought valiantly on the battlefield, the gods could only watch from the sidelines, knowing that they were powerless to interfere directly. War Seeker's

His loyal ally, Irascible Death, fought at his side, their combined strength an unstoppable force. Yet, as they battled relentlessly, War Seeker forgot the nature of Tartarus, a supreme Titan guarding the entrance to both heaven and hell.

Tartarus, one of the beings that had shaped War Seeker's world, fought him fiercely, eventually overpowering the God of War and devouring him. Their legends, achievements, and stories were swallowed by the never-ending void.

As War Seeker and Irascible Death's legends faded into obscurity, the Omniscient One reveled in his victory. He decided to reshape reality, creating a new world where he controlled the course of fate.

In this new reality, the Spartans who had destroyed the Arkh had their memories wiped, and they were given a past with Ever Light, branding War Seeker as a brutal god who sided with the devils. War Seeker's legacy was rewritten, and he was remembered as a villain rather than a rebel who had defied fate itself.

With the disappearance of the gods, humanity faced a new challenge - the Seven Deadly Sins, now stronger than ever. Humanity united with other races and formed their own counterparts, the Seven Heavenly Virtues.

As for War Seeker's Spartans, they left behind a legacy, siring sons and daughters who would surpass them in time. They were revered as the Archdukes of Archlestine, their stories echoing through the ages.

The world, now transformed by the events of War Seeker and his Spartans, stood at the precipice of a new era, where the struggle between good and evil continued, and legends were forged in the crucible of destiny.

The memory of War Seeker, once a god who sought war and conquest, had been rewritten in the new reality. He was now remembered as a malevolent deity who had sided with the devils. His legacy, once celebrated as a rebel who defied fate, had been twisted into something unrecognizable.

The Omniscient One, having rewritten the course of history, watched with satisfaction as his new reality unfolded. He knew that his actions had erased War Seeker from the annals of legend, replacing him with a version that fit his narrative.

But it shall not forget his last message where he will return, the confident words from a dying deity drives him with fear. An irrational fear for when his karma shall be served, a resulting consequence of his own actions. But he shall watch and wait, patiently waiting for when the said Hero will kill him.

As the new world grappled with the disappearance of the gods and the emergence of the Seven Deadly Sins, humanity faced a grave threat. The Sins, now more powerful than ever, posed a formidable challenge.

However, humanity had not been idle during the upheaval caused by the disappearance of the gods. They had united with other races and created their own counterparts to the Sins - the Seven Heavenly Virtues. These virtuous beings stood ready to combat the forces of evil and uphold the principles of righteousness.

Meanwhile, the Spartans who had once fought alongside War Seeker had forged their own legacy. They sired sons and daughters who inherited their strength and resolve. These descendants became known as the Archdukes of Archlestine, and their names became revered throughout the ages.

And those lost fallen Gods that were revered as almighty were turned to sprites that can only spectate the world. Slowly seeping in through the shield of causality, to give their blessings to the humans they once found dirty. All to regain their existence back in the world of Bascias, for the utopian they once lost from the common enemy they despise, now gone to the depths of the abyss; they will surely return.

The world, forever changed by the events of War Seeker and his Spartans, now teetered on the brink of a new era. The struggle between good and evil persisted, and the crucible of destiny continued to forge legends that would endure for generations to come.

In this altered reality, the gods had faded into obscurity, their power and influence replaced by new forces. Humanity, guided by the Seven Heavenly Virtues and the Archdukes of Archlestine, faced the challenges of an uncertain future.

The memory of War Seeker, once a symbol of war and conquest, now lived on in a twisted form, a reminder of the Omniscient One's power to shape destiny. As time passed, the legends of old began to merge with the new, creating a tapestry of myths and stories that would shape the world for millennia to come.

The legacy of War Seeker, the God of War who had sought battles beyond comprehension, now existed as a distorted memory, a cautionary tale of the consequences of defying fate. Yet, his spirit and determination remained, hidden within the hearts of those who refused to accept a world dictated by destiny.

As the world moved forward, the struggle between good and evil continued, and new legends were forged in the ever-evolving crucible of fate. The true impact of War Seeker's actions, his battles, and his unwavering resolve would forever remain a mystery, buried beneath the layers of history and time.
