Pov: "Twilight Giant Pathway"
In the fading glow of a crimson dawn, A lonely knight stood upon the blackened ramparts of a fallen keep, his armor scarred and his banner torn.
Once, that banner bore the silver sigil of his king, a mark of honor.
Now it hung colorless and frayed, stripped of meaning, like the realm it once served.
"The kingdom of the Dawn" was his realm, one that had decayed from within.
Where once justice had reigned, corruption now sat upon the throne.
Nobles bled the land for coin, priests sold forgiveness to the highest bidder, and the crown demanded loyalty not to truth, but to power.
Yet amid that rot stood one man who refused to kneel.
The lonely knight, who had sworn his oath as a knight not to kings, but to ideals, to protect the innocent, to stand for truth, and to wield his blade in the service of honor.
He remembered the words of his old mentor, Sir Ashlan: "A knight's loyalty must be earned, not commanded."
Those words had become his creed, and his eternal curse.
When he defied the king's order to burn a village accused of heresy, he was branded a traitor. They called him "the Rebel Knight," a name whispered in both fear and admiration.
He had fled the royal court with a handful of soldiers who still believed in something purer than gold.
Together they became outlaws, fighting not for crowns or conquest, but for conscience.
Years passed, and tales of "The rebel knight" defiance spread across the realm. Peasants saw him as a symbol of justice, nobles as a dangerous threat.
He and his band struck like lightning against tyranny, freeing prisoners, defending the weak, and punishing those who ruled without honor.
Yet for every victory, he felt the weight of endless war pressing on his soul.
One winter night, as snow fell silent upon the valley, the knight rode alone into the ruins of the Table made Rock, the place where he had once sworn his oath of knighthood.
The halls were empty now, desecrated by soldiers of the crown.
There, upon the cold stone altar, lay the shattered sword of Sir Ashlan. The knight knelt before it, his breath fogging the air.
"Master,"
he whispered
"I have fought as you taught me. Yet the more I fight, the less I see the world worth saving."
Once he said this, a voice from nowhere answered him
"A knight's duty is not to win, but to stand. Even when all others fall."
The words burned through him like fire, so much that he even ignored from where the voice come, he rose, gripping the hilt of his sword until his gauntlet creaked.
"Then I shall stand, even if I stand alone."
Was his answer to the voice
At dawn, the king's army found him. Five hundred men against one.
They demanded his surrender in the name of the crown. But they only get a knight who rode forward, helm gleaming with frost, his eyes fierce beneath it.
"I do not kneel to tyrants, I kneel only to the truth."
Was his last answer, and with that, he charged.
The battle that followed became legend. Arrows rained, swords clashed, and the earth drank deep of blood.
The knight fought like a storm, each strike a hymn to the ideals he had sworn to uphold. Even as blades tore into him, he did not falter. He stood until the very end, until his body fell upon the field, but his spirit did not.
Years later, and the people said flowers grew where his blood had been spilled, white as moonlight.
No one knows if his followers survived, but songs of the Rebel Knight spread through taverns and courts alike.
They say he still rides when the realm is darkest, a lone knight upon a silver horse, sword blazing like a star.
Not a ghost of vengeance, but a guardian of the forgotten promise, That honor, though exiled, is never truly dead.
But the truth was far different from what they had believed.
"You did well defending your ideals,"
said a figure the knight knew all too well. After all, it was his old master.
"...Master... Why? Why are you here? I thought you had already reached the Eternal Kingdom, resting in peace,"
asked the lonely knight as he knelt before him, tears falling down his face.
"...Because even the place of Eternal Rest has fallen.
Its ruler has abandoned it, choosing instead to live among mortals, forsaking his duties, and condemning the souls of the fallen to suffer for all eternity."
The knight remained kneeling, his tears falling like drops of silver upon the cold ground.
For a long moment, silence hung between them, heavy, sacred, and filled with sorrow.
Then, he raised his head. Determination flickered in his eyes, bright enough to pierce through despair itself.
"If the ruler has abandoned his throne, then I will rise to take his place. The souls of the fallen deserve peace, not endless torment."
he said, his voice trembling yet resolute,
His master gazed upon him with both pride and grief.
"You would bear such a burden? You know not what you ask, my disciple.
To rule over the Eternal Kingdom is to surrender your own rest, to watch over the dead forever, in Eternal loneliness"
The knight placed his hand over his chest, his armor faintly glowing as his conviction deepened.
"If that is the price... then I accept it. I fought to protect life and ideals in the past.
Now I shall fight to protect their final rest."
A faint smile crossed the old master's lips.
"Then rise, because now I name you the great "Twilight Giant", May your will bring peace where even gods have faltered"
And once the master ended his words a light surrounded him, the knight felt the weight of countless souls, their pain, their longing, their gratitude, merging with his own heart.
And when the light ascended unto its most resplendent zenith, revelation reached him, and he knew, at last, the new "pathway" he must follow
"Go forth now, seek the sundered fragments of the old Sovereign, and become the "Eternal Darkness" , our "Twilight Giant" ."
Thus fell the knight into shadow once more, as the last glimmer of his consciousness was claimed by the silence of his new, and last challenge
Pov: General
Once the protagonist finished writing the story of the Avatar of the "Twilight Giant", he sent him to a world that was destined to be destroyed by Thanos in a few years, a world that, ironically, would one day be the same place where Thanos would meet his daughter.
That's for the part of the avatar, who would soon become known simply as "Twilight", since he always introduced himself by his title rather than by name.
As for Thanos, he will be overjoyed In a few months, after all his greatest love, Death, had summoned him once again to her realm, only to tell him that he no longer needed to go to Earth, since the protagonist's mother had already died.
And that was it. She didn't thank him, didn't say anything else. But just seeing her was enough for that deranged, genocidal intergalactic maniac. In a burst of twisted joy, he destroyed an entire planet, just because he could.
Meanwhile, since the protagonist had finally completed the perfect plan to kill his mother… well, let's just say things didn't end well for her as you already know
*Two years later*
By this time, the protagonist had finally reached the opportunity to summon the "God Almighty Pathway" he had been preparing, something he would be able to do once he finished writing the stories for each Avatar.
The life of the protagonist also changed a lot, from being in the sewers, to being adopted by the president family thanks to his powers, something he's planning to use in the future
Also he started using his authority over the avatars in secret, now he also know what are doing his avatars, and even influencing in the elections they choose
And in case you're wondering, here are the personalities of each "Pathway" of the "God Almighty Pathway" (there are so many Avatars that giving each of them a detailed story would take forever):
"Visionary Pathway": Completely schizophrenic. He genuinely believes he's the only one who can see the "real" world, and that once he reaches Sequence 0, he'll be able to make everyone else see the same "truth." Think he's a Deadpool 2.0, but with godlike powers.
"Sun Pathway": A total fanatic obsessed with worshiping the sun. He would kill anyone who dares to oppose his doctrine. Eventually becomes the de facto leader of a New Church (praise the sun.jpg).
"Tyrant Pathway": Contrary to his name, he's not actually a tyrant, he's a perfectly ruler who always acts for the good of the masses in his territory. He resides on a planet that is 80% covered by water.
"White Tower Pathway": Obsessive-compulsive to an extreme degree. She refuses to move on from a subject until she has understood it completely. She's deeply fascinated by occultism, and her destiny eventually leads her to Kamar-Taj.
"Hanged Man Pathway": Unlike the original, crazy one "Pathway", this one believes his destiny is to become a universal-scale Jesus 2.0. Ironically, he will end up being worshiped to such a degree that people commit massacres in his name, not because he commands it, but because his followers want to "protect" him from corruption.
