Metallic Dragon-King of The Hive ((Destiny Inspired))

The two goddesses of darkness that had plucked me out of my world as I lay dying, after a life of…well, nothing worth going into, have given me a number of choices here. In the end, I built a new form for myself that I was rather pleased with until the twink angel appeared before me and gave me a whole new bevy of alternatives.

I found myself in a position I hated, choosing between two warring sides. Did I serve the Darkness who brought my back? Or did I betray them and take the powers of Light and ‘save my soul’, whatever that means?

Well, before I talk about my choice in that department let’s just go over what I have chosen in terms of powers...

Originally I had chosen to have the powerful monster core, but when the angel appeared before me I chose instead to go with the Beautiful angelic core.

For size I chose to remain human-sized, getting access to an additional class seemed like a good enough perk, and also I had no interest in being a giant monster. Cliche.

For monster family, I originally picked Draconic, and once given the cheat options I also chose to hybridize with Bioferric, making me into a humanoid dragon made of living metal. Seemed like an interesting combination.

For my “package,” I choose the standard package with the breeding and mind break add-ons, weaponizing the same things I can fuck with didn’t interest me so I passed up Ryona.

For my monster power, I choose to give myself the Dungeon Core, a ready-made base with minions inside of it ready to go. The others seemed good, but this was more my style.

For classes, as I can choose two, I decided on Knight and Sorceror. Being able to take on the role of General and spellcaster was definitely up my alley.

I already mentioned I took the Hybridization cheat, though they were all interesting…I’ll have to see if I can break the world’s magic upon entering it and gain more.

Then, of course, Ariel showed up.

I already mentioned I switched out my monster core for the Beautiful angel core, I didn’t take any of his “monster” family changes, happy with where I was.

Then the oaths, for a moment I considered ignoring them…but then he mentioned each oath would give me one divine miracle and two angel blessings. So I took two of these Oaths. I will respect Hallowed Ground, I always had respect for the beliefs and religions of others in my old life, and I felt no need to change that now. Then I took Love Humanity. I will not **** them, I will take them under my wing and protect them. Protect them from even themselves, Freedom makes mortal people **** themselves and others, so as an Immortal Angelic Monster…I will shepherd them.

Four angel blessings were mine to choose now, and I chose Humanity to blend in when I needed to, Domain as I had an interesting way to mix that into my Dungeon if this world would allow it, Immaculate Conception to create armies I didn’t need to worry about supplying or feeding, and last I choose God’s Eye for intel gathering. I nearly choose warmth…sentimentality will be the ruin of me.

For Divine Miracles I have chosen Enoch and Pure Land, all of this rolling into the plan that slowly had been building in my mind this whole time.

Now, as I look down on the world I am about to enter…I should mention my decision about the Light and the Dark…fuck them both. They are both weak, preening and primping around like the be-all and end all of power while needing to cheat and create ME to win for them. There is only one truth, and that is strength. Thankfully, a video game called Destiny back in my world gave me a pretty good name for my new philosophy, The Sword Logic.

Whatever can fight and win deserves to exist free, whatever loses does not. Whether this means I conquer it, protect it from itself under my rule, or eradicate it I will decide case by case…except unaligned humans of course, those who have not chosen a side are protected by my pacts. For now.

Speaking of Destiny as an inspiration, I’ll take some fun titles from that game, but I’ll make my own name… I am Caelum Ignis, The King of the Osmium Throne, Corrupted Sovereign, Subjugant to None.

((This will be a much more narrative run than others that might focus on the stats and leveling, this will use that all as a framework and less as rules))
