“Eons after all the inhabitants of Luna had died off, the planetoid managed to enter a universe within the Chaotic Void. It was filled with countless star systems, but they were all incredibly far apart. Eventually, she managed to find a Solar System of her own. Using the technology that was created by those Celestial Beings that inhabited her body for so long, she decided to create an Avatar. The first one was based on her memories of Michael and the second was a form that was similar to the creatures that formerly inhabited her body. Luna realized that although she could vaguely control the two bodies, they were developing their own individual personalities that diverged from her own. When the two Avatars eventually mated, they created a being that was totally uncontrollable… named Anael. Their daughter was rebellious and violent, but also loved the both of them.

“Of course, their love also extended into lust. They were the only three organic lifeforms within that rather spacious world… It was fine at first, but as they produced more and more offspring, their resources started to dwindle. Not only physical resources, but also emotions. Iris eventually became more distant with Michael and Luna, deciding to join the expedition to terraform the nearby planets, mine asteroids and explore the Solar System.”

Although I was curious about how the story went from there, I still interjected “No offense, but I’m in a lot of pain, my feet feel like they’re on fire, the rest of my body is freezing and I’m running out of air so… Is it possible for you to hurry up a little bit?”

“Ah~, okay.” That mysterious woman was surprisingly agreeable. Anyway, she still asked me more questions. She whispered “Thunder Deity.”

“Shit, there’s literally like a thousand of them! Ugh, umm~, Zeus, Jupiter, Ba’al, Set, Lei Gong, Dian Mu, Indra, Susanoo, Raijin, Tenjin, Xolotl, Chaac, Oya, Thor?! Fuck, I can’t think of any other ones!” There were just way too many to possibly remember, and it was impressive that I was able to list so many without using a search engine…

At the lowest, bottom triangle, a symbol appeared. It looked like a collar, but there were bolts of purple electricity jumping off of it. The voice murmured “Anael was blessed with power, beauty, grace, and many lovers… But her second incarnation was not nearly as fortunate. She had squandered much of her soul’s power during her extraordinarily long lifetime, so she descended to a lower plane and reincarnated as nothing more than a human. Without enough power, she was unable to reap any benefits from her first life… Unable to even remember her name. From birth, she was nothing more than a slave. Perhaps she was ‘lucky’ that her new form was born without her previous beauty? Instead of becoming a toy for her masters to play with, she was sacrificed in a cruel and terrible ritual to a Demonic Thunder Deity… named Raijin. However, instead of dying, her soul was empowered! She used her newfound electrical abilities to call down lightning upon her former masters and ended up starting a crusade to free all of the slaves throughout her world… Oh, I’m sorry, I forgot that you were dying. It’s just that I… Umm, okay, next question.”

My legs gave out and my head smacked against the metal door, but the impact made me regain a bit of consciousness. Anyway, she quickly said “War.”

I immediately yelled “Ares!” It was my last name after all, so obviously it was the first word that came to my mind. Before I had the chance to start spouting out anything else, the next symbol had already started to appear in the bottom-left triangle.

A white skull, with burning crimson blood constantly pouring out of its empty eye-sockets. There was a black revolver pointed at the left temple, while there was an obsidian katana standing vertically behind the head, though it could have been passing through. Then a bright-green biohazard sign showed up on the skull’s forehead.

“Raijin started her crusade in order to free those who had suffered like herself and her family, but also to seek vengeance on the system that made slavery possible… However, the world was far larger than she had imagined and her enemies were innumerable. Most importantly, her own people were quick to fall into temptation. The masters became slaves and in turn, the slaves became masters. The Cycle of Domination seemed to be unbreakable. Facing the same problem as Michael once did, she too fell into despair and insanity… That’s when she met a child that was able to prevent her from becoming Abaddon again.

“Technology was the key to salvation. Although she died of old age eventually, her soul had become powerful enough for her to reincarnate with all the memories of Raijin. However, she was reborn into a world in the midst of a terrible crusade. No one even understood why they were fighting each other anymore; it was pure chaos. Ares was a boy born into the royal family-”

When I started coughing up blood all over the shiny metal door, that energetic woman finally stopped rambling on and whispered “Sorry… It’s just been a really long time since the last time I was able to talk to someone and, umm, actually, this is good enough already. You had the key so you didn’t even need to answer the riddles in the first place…”

If I wasn’t afraid of throwing up or passing out, I probably would have retorted at that point, but oh well. You can’t expect to have a good comeback for every single stupid thing that every fucking person ever says around you, right?

That door instantly vanished, as if it wasn’t even there in the first place. Then I fell forward, face-planting onto a silvery metallic floor. 

“Oh dear, umm, hi there… Oh wow, you’re… You’re actually an organic, huh? Ah, your juices are leaking out… That’s probably not a good sign.” The last thing I heard before blacking out was that nervous and quiet, high-pitched feminine voice.

***

I was half-asleep and waking up from an awesome sex-dream with a unicorn, when I heard that girl murmuring “Uh oh, hmmm, this is ‘that’ huh? I think we’re supposed to milk it, right? That’s what they always do in the documentaries at least… ‘Ah~, onii-chan~, don’t worry~, I’ll make you feel all~ better~!’ Is what the little sister always says before she starts performing a genital massage on the older brother.” 

Then there was slightly masculine and deep voice that retorted “I-I, I’m not sure if it’s okay for us to do that though… We aren’t genetically related… We aren’t even organics! Besides, look how soft his exterior is! If you applied too much pressure-”

“Holy fucking cuntmonkies~! Ow, what the hell?! Ah~?!” Yeah, I woke up pretty fast when I felt something cold and metallic, crushing my tiny dick. The moment I opened my eyes, I saw something terrifying. Okay, maybe it wasn’t actually scary at all. That thing just looked like a pure-white mannequin, with two heads. One of them had green crystalline orbs for eyes, while the other just had a singular bright-red diamond-shaped crystal in the center of its face. It was the size of a human child and had no sexual characteristics, but for the most part, it did look pretty well-made. Actually, it didn’t even have visible joints and the material that it was made out of, seemed to be able to stretch like human skin. Obviously it was a lot more complex on the inside than the outside.

“Oh, I’m so sorry… Hmmm, that’s odd, the ‘white sauce’ didn’t appear? But the swelling did somewhat recede, huh?” The high-pitched feminine voice apparently came from the green-eyed head. It didn’t have a mouth or nose, but the area where the lips would normally be, had what I could only assume to be a speaker underneath the skin-like material.

I muttered “No problem, ugh, what… How long was I unconscious? Where is this place anyway?” When I glanced around, I noticed that I was laying on a silvery metallic floor and the room around me was basically a small cube. It was easy to stand up, but I could reach the ceiling with my tiny arms. That’s when I noticed that my clothing was gone, along with all my shit.

There was nothing but me and that tiny mannequin robot thing in the room, so I was starting to get a little worried. As if ‘he’ could read my mind, the masculine head told me “We’re currently within the Lunar Cube… This was the last item that Luna created before ascending to the Deity Realm. It’s an Omega-Ranked Mortal Storage Device.”

My body didn’t really hurt, aside from the mildly sore penis that was still being ‘played with’ by those deadly porcelain hands. Although I said that she was the size of a child, even compared to my tiny stature, that creature was incredibly short; about three feet at the most.

“Wait, wait a second, what the hell is ‘Omega-Ranked’? If she was almost a Deity, couldn’t she have just made a super-amazing Legendary Immortal thing?” In response to my question, the left head giggled, while the right one chuckled.
