A man stood on a battlefield strewn with bodies; atop a hill, he gazed beyond the fields dyed by blood. His armor glistened from the blood staining it. Beneath the blood hid a dark gray, a sword in hand, which gripped tight, long black hair, and eyes deep and black, layered with mystical runes and inscriptions that moved freely. His frame was not bulky but muscular, and his handsome face, which had enchanted many. His eyebrows are sharp like swords.
The ground trembled and the wind grew violent. The warrior's eyebrows furrowed, he clenched his arms and gripped the sword tighter, a white aura coated his body, it was calm, and it flowed like a heavy gas.
On the horizon, a giant centipede-like creature was seen; it had the body of a centipede, the stinger of a scorpion, and six rocky wings. beneath it were soldiers with heads like ants, and they had arms that looked like a mantis's arm.
The lone man got ready and charged into the alien creatures ahead with an unbreakable resolve as if he had made a decision.
As he rushed to the opposing armies, he was reminded of why he was on this battlefield in the first place. He was a young man on his journey, living a life of an adventurer and growing in power.
He had gone on a journey for power and the purpose for which he wanted to grow stronger. In his venture, he roamed the world trying to find the purpose he wanted to get stronger for; he roamed the land and left his mark on every place he visited. He created weapon techniques and many other secret and mystical techniques and styles of combat.
The day he finally found his purpose, he headed back home with great joy as he yearned to see his family after a long time, but when he reached home, he found that his only relatives, his mother and father, had died at the hands of foreign forces that came from another world and had started an invasion on their world.
His father and mother, being one of the best combatants on this planet, had died at the hands of the invaders because of the underhanded methods they had used; they had used a method to control the minds of one of the most trusted servants of our family and attacked them with it, my mother and father had still survived even after that but because of the injuries they suffered they had gone into a bad state.
They, close to death, used a technique that had been used for ages in their family that takes the souls of the ones in the technique and sends them together to another world to be once more reunited.
Finding the traces of the technique significantly elevated his mood.
But it stumped him on how to reach them once more.
But he decided to take his revenge against the invaders, who were the ones behind the death of his parents first, and he fought against them with the established united army of his home world. After he finally found the perpetrators behind his parents' death and killed them, he also found a strange object in the treasury where they kept the treasure of the planets they had looted. They didn't know what it did or what its functions were, so they left it there collecting dust.
He touched it, and after having contact with it, it seemed to have its own will and had chosen him, and then transferred information about itself to his brain. After finding out its functions, he finally reached a decision, if he really got a second chance, then he would reach the peak of strength, so there would be no one to stop him and prevent him from being helpless and the people he cares about coming in harms way once again, as he reflected upon himself he decided to stand up against the armies for his home planet as a form of gratitude he felt for it before he leaves.

The man looked at the sky and gazed at the veil of the night that descended on the sky, the man taking quick breaths. On the edge of life and death, he had seen what it means to wield true power, and the words that the general from the invaders had spoken to him.
"Boy, I am not even close to the strongest..... There are a lot of monsters stronger than me out there in the cosmos.... But... I have a feeling that this is not the end for you."
After remembering those words, a stronger conviction lit up inside him to grow even stronger.
He reached his hand into the air as it disappeared into a tear in space, and pulled out an object that looked like it was made of a gem of the color of black and white, which had intricate patterns carved into it. His voice sounded cold and husky.
"I had finally found the reason to fight, but, when I did, I found that I was not strong enough.... maybe.... just maybe.... You can help."

"Mother, Father, I hope to see you again.... and... maybe we will see each other once more"
As he muttered in silence, he slowly went limp, and the light faded from his eyes.
********************
A pale woman sat in a jail cell, chained by six different chains, each with distinct effects, poisoned by 60 different poisons, each with its own mystical and unique effects, all of this just to keep her in check. She had pristine white hair like the first snow, long, beautiful eyelashes and eyebrows that were just as white, her eyes whiter than quartz that carried an unearthly coldness, and a face that would allure any man who cast their gaze on it.
As she thought back to the past, she saw that her life had been full of misfortune, and there was nothing that she could fully protect after getting attached to it. Her parents had died in a war when she was quite young, and she was then adopted by her aunt and uncle, who were quite kind to her.
Later, because of some insidious schemes of one of the servants who colluded with another noble house, they died by being poisoned.
Then she was left alone with the servants and a butler who was the son of the butler who had been serving our family for generations. She later found out that it was he who had poisoned her parents. Then, he planned to use me as a puppet, but he failed, so he resorted to poisoning me, because of my extreme mana compatibility, most poisons didn't work on me.
So, he used a very special poison that would activate at a very specific time, date, and year, at a time when she didn't know how to control mana and was quite young.
She then went on to study and become a grand wizard under the tutelage of a strict teacher, who was a tutor specifically to teach noble children how to use magic.
After, She became a grand mage she was bestowed the title of "Greatest grand mage in history, the butler growing worried that his plan would fail, he decided to ask for help from the king by convincing how dangerous her existence is and the threat to the throne she posed, as the nobles filled with envy from her success and looking at the many benefits they would gain if the plan is successful they were easily convinced.
On the faithful day that the poison had acted, she was enjoying her tea when she started to feel quite weak and sleepy.
As her eyes drifted off and she saw the lascivious grins of the butler and his accomplices walking in, she quickly realized her situation, that she had fallen into a trap. As soon as that realization hit her, she unconsciously covered her body with a high-grade protection spell that would block anything off her body in a 1 cm radius.
After she woke up, she found to her surprise,e that she was bound here by chains and poisoned, but at least her spell is still functioning.
As she stopped reminiscing, she felt her life force dwindling at a rapid rate, feeling her time was near its end.
She then remembered a strange object she had found when she was roaming the world. When she touched the object, a bundle of information was transferred to her brain, from which she had learned that it was an object to be used at a near-death state, and it would make one's wish or desire come true. she also found that this object had the ability to turn into different objects with her will as she kept it close as a ring, as she had the feeling that it would bring one of the biggest changes in her life, for better or for worse, well it felt comforting like a piece of the puzzle that would fill a major portion of the puzzle that was her life, the basis for this comfort and good feeling well, it's a woman's intuition.
She felt doubtful, but a person at the end of their rope has nothing to lose, so she let go of her doubts, as she thought to herself.
'Those noble ladies always said they had a feeling for events concerning them, usually their spouse; I guess this is what they meant.'
Then she slowly murmured "hello"
[Genesis activated]
"Oh, your name is Genesis."
[Hello, host confirmation is needed to use my abilities and services to help you hosts]
"hosts?"
[Yes, host, you did not mishear. I said hosts]
"So, there is someone other than me who has you."
[Yes, you are indeed correct, there is another host that will be your partner, or in simpler words, you will have to marry him if you like him. Of course, I won't force you, which is also your wish.]
"Wait? marriage ??!!"
[You see, host, that is one of your desires or close to it, as you seek comfort in someone who will not leave you and always stay with you,.... and it also makes things easier for me.]
'Hmm, he's not wrong, wait, what was that at the end?'
"Won't he be repulsed by me because of my traits?"
[Host, don't worry, your partner has exotic tastes, no peculiar would be a better word, he's probably your best match, he won't mind your yandere tendencies, no, I'm pretty sure he will like them instead.]
A vein throbbed in the woman's head for a reason she didn't know.
Thinking back to past events, she also made a conviction that surged to become stronger to reach the plane of the strongest and stand atop it. So that she will not be the one to lose something dear once again.
"Then Genesis, permission granted."
[Host, see you soon]
With those words, the life faded from the woman's eyes, and her body fell to the floor, lifeless.
