Chapter 1: Rebirth
"A life of a God is mundane, uninteresting, and most definitely plain. As years passed, numerous humans decayed, died, and were forgotten, and yet we, the Gods, remain the same—unaging and undying. Though I wished to be of the divine, I never thought I would be able to grasp the concept of it. It was granted in the most unique and ridiculous way. Even as mundane and uninteresting as I said my life to be, I've seen and heard things about the passing of mortals, their precious memories, and possessions in the reality formed by the Primordials.
Humans have shown to be greedy, selfish, and prideful, but what I've seen about them is that they are capable of change—change that we, the divine, cannot comprehend.
That being said, my endless job of keeping the realms in balance as the Reaper of life has kept me quite entertained. But I've had enough of just being a reaper; I want more. I want to be stronger. The title of a primordial that I've been granted by my mother has waned on my consciousness. I lacked the power of that of a primordial, but I have the title and standing of one. It's truly a curse. I've been looked down upon by mere titans for the lack of power I have. The struggle of trying to be acknowledged as a true primordial has finally pushed me to be better. This is the day I'll mark my rise to the pinnacle of power as Thanatos, the One above death, the Lord of Death."
[Note] (forgot to add these sorry).

"The pain I felt from being betrayed by my own family really enlightened me on how selfish one can really be—the things I gave, the opportunities I missed, and the people I forsook for them. I've never felt so disgusted by one's actions as much as this. I truly hope if there's a next life, I'd be a God, a very prominent Divine being," said [???] as the blood continued to leak until the light in the eyes of the unfortunate diminished.
(Unknown)
"Ah, where am I? Is this hell or purgatory? There's nothing in sight but pitch-black darkness," said [???]. "As I wander, the more I feel like I haven't moved. The void, which emanates no light, feels like I'm stuck within a tiny box with no end or beginning. I can't speak, I can't feel, but I can see. This has to be purgatory." As [???] was going to drift asleep, he quickly opened his eyes to find himself in a lushful forest with a being standing in front of him. Shocked and unable to comprehend what had happened, [???] remained unresponsive until the being responded with a regal tone.
[Unknown]: "Ah, you must be the one who was asking for a wish upon his death. Well, let me introduce myself. I'm what you humans call the Random Omnipotent Being, but you may call me Fukkatsu Nega as a sign of goodwill. But moving on, I'll be giving you exactly 4 wishes."
[???] replied stammering, "Wha- wow, hello. I... I can't seem to remember my name; that's odd."
Fukkatsu Nega states matter-of-factly, "Yes, that'd be the case indeed. Upon death, you will and would be stripped of memories of the main body's identity and acquaintances. However, that'd be the least of your worries. But may we proceed?"
[???] replied, "Ah, yes, sorry, I'll continue. My wish is to be able to be reborn as a Divine Being of great importance. My second wish is for my divinities to be included upon what I will be getting as said divine being, to be Wisdom, Inevitability, Balance, and Darkness. I would like for the phoenix and crows to be my sacred animals, signifying rebirth upon death and reflection. For my final wish, I'd like to have limitless talent in everything I do. That'd be all," said [???].
Fukkatsu Nega: "I see. Well then, I wish you the very best in your next life and," he smiled and said the very words that shook me to my core, "Let's not see each other again so soon, okay, Anastasius."
[???] (Anastasius): "Wa- wait! What's that supposed to mean? Is that my name?? HEY!" [???], now known as Anastasius, anxiously tried to get his benefactor's attention upon hearing that name, but alas, it was not meant to be as he plunged into darkness.
*********************************************************************************************************
As [???], now known as Anastasius, descended into the darkness, a profound transformation occurred. The cosmic energies that surrounded him intertwined with his essence, reshaping and empowering him in ways unimaginable. He felt a surge of newfound strength and clarity of purpose.
But, as his mortal mind couldn't comprehend the essence of the cosmos, he lost consciousness to avoid descending into madness—a fate mortals should never endure. Upon waking, a striking beauty captivated his gaze. The ethereal figure stood amidst the cosmic radiance, a manifestation of celestial grace. Her eyes held the depth of galaxies, and her presence resonated with an otherworldly aura.
"My beloved son," she spoke, her voice a harmonious blend of cosmic melodies. "Your eyes shine as brightly as the stars, and your unique essence encapsulates the vast cosmos."
Confusion clouded his eyes as he struggled to comprehend the celestial being before him. "Mother?" he inquired, his voice filled with a mixture of awe and uncertainty.
"I am Nyx, your mother," she answered, her gaze penetrating the depths of his soul. "You, my dear child, shall be named Thanatos. Your essence embodies stillness, and Mother Khaos has deemed you the Lord of Death. It will be your duty to bring beings to rest and guide them to the chambers of rebirth."
*********************************************************************************************************
A profound weight settled upon Thanatos as the words of his celestial mother echoed in the cosmic expanse. He felt the gravity of his newfound purpose, the responsibility bestowed upon him by the primordial forces that governed the universe.
Nyx extended her hand, and as Thanatos took it, he felt a surge of divine energy coursing through him. The essence of stillness and the power to usher souls to their final rest became intertwined with his very being. In that moment, he transcended the realms of mortality, becoming a cosmic force destined to harmonize the delicate dance between life and death.
"As the Lord of Death," Nyx continued, "you will navigate the tapestry of existence. Your presence will be the bridge between the mortal coil and the boundless cosmos. Embrace the sacred duty bestowed upon you, my son, for in guiding souls to rebirth, you shall maintain the balance ordained by the primordials."
As Nyx spoke, the cosmic energies resonated with a symphony of destiny, weaving Thanatos into the very fabric of the universe. His form radiated with a celestial glow, and the essence of his purpose emanated like a beacon in the cosmic expanse.
"Your journey has just begun, Thanatos," Nyx whispered, her voice a gentle breeze in the cosmic winds. "The realms await your touch, and the threads of fate shall dance to the melody of your presence."
Guided by Nyx, Thanatos embarked on a celestial odyssey, traversing the realms unseen by mortal eyes. He encountered ethereal beings and cosmic entities, each acknowledging his divine purpose with reverence. The tapestry of existence unfurled before him, revealing the intricate connections between gods, mortals, and the eternal forces that governed their destinies.
Through the eons, Thanatos honed his abilities, mastering the art of guiding souls through the cosmic currents. The chambers of rebirth became his sacred domain, and his touch brought solace to those transitioning from one existence to another.
As the Lord of Death, Thanatos stood as a sentinel between realms, ensuring the cosmic balance remained undisturbed. The stories of mortals and the echoes of their lives became interwoven with his own, creating a narrative that transcended the boundaries of time and space.
And so, the cosmic symphony continued, with Thanatos orchestrating the dance of souls in the grand tapestry of existence—a tale of mortality, divinity, and the eternal cycle of rebirth.
