Ephemeral Dreams [ Original Quest ]

To put it simply putting Asmodeus as the name corresponded with the plot of the origin of the mc of the story just saying that the name Asmodeus will reveal lots of stuff

Honestly you really shocked me but I kinda also expected it .

Honestly to simply put it the world in the quest is shit all Supernatural creatures have emerged from there myths and legends and now they are causing havoc to the planet .

To put it simply they are multiple creatures that could casually obliterate the planet without trying and I hope you guys avoid them until you reach a better power level well you chose nightmare so get ready for pure hell .

Chapter 2

You drew out your inner darkness out of your soul as you felt your hand crack and decay away as you immediately pulled out your knife something happened .

[ Supernatural Check - Dark Corruption : 25 + 10(Hegemony)+5(Lust) = 40(Success) Required : 10 ] .

The knife became something else it grew longer but it's appearance became strange it was rusted and filled with cracks along with a dark aura pulsating from the blade .

You didn't waste any time as you slashed at the minotaur causing blood to burst out as it hits you .

[ Body Check : 6 + 10(Hegemony) + 5(Lust) + 20(Peerless Physique) : 41(Success) Required : 30 ]

You didn't fly away like before as instead the minotaur was the one sent flying as it crashed hardly into the building at the side of the road you blinked and the minotaur stood up but this time enraged as it's eye turned red and it's muscles bulged out .

It didn't run but walked forward as the ground shook with it's might you held your blade tightly as soon something else happened .

[ Sin Trigger : Lust!!! ]

Your body shivered due to the rush of power that entered your soul as your mind cleared and your eyes shone blue as everything became clearer somehow .

You rushed at the minotaur this time not giving it a second to spare as you held your blade and made multiple slashes at the minotaur with your strength .

All your attacks didn't work again your empowered knife shattered as a heavy hook was sent towards your face sending you flying through multiple building .

All your bones were shattered and you were bleeding as you landed on numerous shattered glass your body was in pain as your mind became hazy you could see the minotaur at your front raising it's leg to crush your skull .

But something happened that you couldn't understand something shattered the space around you and numerous glitches could be seen .

[ Mind Check : Failure ]

A surge of pain shot through your head as you just couldn't comprehend this entity that appeared it's form , voice or existence as you felt even your soul writhe in pain as it's tentacles (?) Assaulted your soul and you understood .

[ Truth Fragment — Dies Irae : You understood it for a brief millisecond the Truth invaded your mind about the origin stars , matter , life , the universe no the void of nothingness and you understood (????) the world wasn't what you thought of as you knew only one thing this is Rapture ]

[ Due to acquiring a Truth Fragment choose your Raison D'être Note : can not be used for now but will be useful in the future as your Broken Soul is locking it away . ]

[] Due Söllst : You have been poured forth from chaos itself you have gained the aspect of Judgement a principality that should only be available to God but you know the Truth so you are given the will to perform judgement Now your justification of existence is to bring about justice . Grants the power to judge all things humans or concepts by Rewarding them and setting them free or enacting divine punishment upon them and executing them .

[] Tenma Māra : You have gained absolute enlightenment upon your desires gaining the Truth has just stimulated your sin of lust you have acquired the Principle of Rebirth from God , you hold with your soul All The Worlds Desires , your reason for being is to experience all the pleasures you wanted to taste the pleasures of Sukhāvatī - Heavens Hole and womb of the earth all things would be yours the stars , planets , females , treasures you shall ravage them as you are the aspect of Divine Vanity . Grants access to the pleasures of time , space , reality and even God .

Raison D'être is ones purpose in the world it is what they perceive and immortalize as there sole reason for being , for example I will give a spoiler there is someone in the story whose Raison D'être is Destruction he would gain complete supremacy of causing extravagant destruction and annihilation of high level due to that being his own justification for existing .

Raison D'être can only be attained when one's body and soul has been put under imaginable stress as they gain an understanding at the verge of death , Ones Soul is a medium of casting a Raison D'être but due to you guys having shitty luck your Broken Soul debuff is stopping you from even remembering it but don't worry it is still ingraved within the depths of your soul and a person can have multiple Raison D'être but that information is currently classified and unknown . To sum it all up you guys can warp reality and ignore the Laws of God and become op but due to shattering your soul you can't access it so you have to find a certain character to heal your soul .
