Chapter 4
Is this the end?
Hardly, this is just the beginning!
You awaken in the darkest part of the night, naked with your back against the pillar, and lift up your hand to feel your face. ~Wait, I have a face?~ You think feeling the nose and lips, and then suddenly you are DROWNING in memories.
An entire lifetime flashes before your eyes and you know your name: You are 'Nimrod Zodiac the Corinthian', which means:
“A-Mighty-Hunter-Before-The-Lord”, “Serial-Killer-Who-Taunts-The-Forces-Of-Light-And-Escapes-Uncaught”, the, “Darkest-Of-Dreams-Who-Serves-No-Master-Save-His-Creator”:
and you are Lorchos only begotten son, sired with the only woman he has ever truly loved and whom he mourns to this day, the first High Priestess of his cult from when the world was truly new 500 years ago, Jenny Edgewise the Wicked.
When you first lived you were a terror, living up to your name's secret meaning in every particular, and you wandered the servers PK-ing whoever struck your fancy, or got in your way, or defied you, or annoyed you, or refused your advances: and never once were you caught. You sired more bastards than there were hairs on your body, as well as having 5 wives with whom you had 20 'legitimate' children, each and every one of which grew to be a mighty champion of Lorchos faith, helping to establish him as one of the premiere 'dark gods'. You finally died a true **** at the grand old age of 90, having just the previous week received your father's ONE 'Blessing' which he was allowed to bestow directly upon you: that you would rise as an undead after ****, and rest for 100 years and more, but more than that, one day, should his church endure, you would be resurrected into your living body once again, restored to it's prime and ready to begin your reign of terror once more, save that you would lose most of your power and be **** to rise to glory all over again by dint of your own efforts.
Remembering this last injunction you pull up your status screen and read:
Name : Nimrod Zodiac the Corinthian
Class/Level : Champion of Lorchos 3
HP : 3/60
MP : 0/30
STR : 12
AGG : 12
ACC : 12

S-DEF : 15
ML-ATK : 3
ML-DMG : 1sd x STR
R-ATK : 3

MG-ATK : 3 (1MP)
MG-DMG : 3
Strengths :
Blessing Of Lorchos: Resurrection: Nimrod Zodiac the Corinthian may only die a 'true ****' from 'old age' even on 'hardcore' servers. When this character dies a 'true ****' they will rise in 10-60 minutes as a random undead, with no memories or non-physical indications of their previous life. After 100 years have passed if the priesthood of Lorchos can find this characters skull/head +/- the rest of his corpse, and bring it to the High Temple of Lorchos, place it on the plinth in the ring of standing stones there on the day before the night of the new moon, with suitable sacrifices of 'skulls' and 'gemstones' worth at least 500,000 GP atop the rest of the stones, and dance in praise of Lorchos for at least 3 hours until nightfall, Nimrod Zodiac the Corinthian will be resurrected with his body restored to it's prime, all of his memories from his previous lives and time as an undead returned, and with a percentage of his former experience equal to the amount of his body used in the ritual and a new class.
Weaknesses : None
Special abilities :
Voice of thy Father: You can sense when Lorchos has the focus of his attention on you, and speak with him directly when this is so.
Commune: You can put any one question to thy father Lorchos, which he will send a clear and unambiguous dream to answer when you next sleep, or turn the focus of his attention to you to answer directly. (Useable 1/Day)
Demi-God: You may enter any server where Lorchos has a priesthood without losing items or experience. Your spells also do not require energy from Lorchos to cast, meaning you can cast them even in 'Mundane' areas as long as you still have Mana. Furthermore your children and grand children will have enhanced statistics and be naturally inclined to follow your divine parent's faith. Lastly, you gain a special bonus relating to your divine parent's sphere of influence: in your case 'the ability to see clearly in any level of darkness.'
Spells:
Darkness: Shrouds an area around you in the 'dark' light level. This magical darkness can only be negated by magical light effects, and lasts LVL x 20 Seconds. (5MP)
Fear: **** weak monsters to flee from your presence and reduces the chance of weak heroes to hit you. 'Weak' for this purpose is defined as having 2 or more fewer levels than you. (1MP)
Command Undead: **** weak undead monsters to obey a single command of no more than (Your LVL) words in length. 'Weak' for this purpose is defined as being equal to or less than your LVL. You can effect a total number of monsters equal to your LVL in this way. You may designate a specific 'undead' monster to target or issue a broader command to all targetable monsters in range. (Cost Equals: [Total LVLs of monsters effected], x [Number of words used in the command] in MP.)
Summon Undead: Summons a number of weaker undead equal to your LVL. 'Weaker' for this purpose is defined as being, at your LVL, 'Skeletons'. Gain Levels to get access to better undead. (Cost Equals: [# of 'undead' Summoned.] x [Level of 'undead' Summoned.] In MP. You can cast this spell with less MP than it normally requires, summoning fewer undead, to a minimum of 1.)
~By my father bellow!~ You think in horror. ~I am a total noob again, and more than half way dead!~ You groan inwardly, and wonder why for only the briefest instant. ~My Skull, all they had was my skull...~ You moan, cursing your bad luck. ~Well, no matter, Lorcho's did not sire and bless a weakling, even reduced in status as I am I will rise to glory and surpass all boundaries! Look out world: Nimrod Zodiac the Corinthian is reborn and will shake you to your foundations!~ You think, standing and unkinking your muscles, which you have not had in over 400 years.
What is your first action of your new life?

Game Monster
From Creep to Boss
You come into being as a low-level monster, the kind heroes chew through like popcorn. You know the drill, whether you're a player yourself or an artificial intelligence, and you're sick of it. You set out on your own quest: to defeat the heroes at any cost (or at least be an epic boss somewhere down the line).
