Children of the Otherworld - An Isekai Story

I have more posts incoming. I just had to vanish for a day or two to handle some personal issues. Side note, I may be proposing in a few months.

@Digmata@TheMushroomLord@Expendable@SilverPaw@Kero No rush. Just a casual tap to make sure you're still with us.

Children of the Otherworld - An Isekai Story

Sweet. Are we good to post again, or would you rather we wait for the others, so that you can do a singular setting post for the cities we end up in?

@ERode

At this point, I'd say post at your own discretion. I'm not gonna force anyone to hurry up with posting, but I don't want to stall the whole RP waiting on one particular character to do something.

@Xaltwind A bit too fancy for what I'm thinking right at the start, but hey, minor detail so... have fun with it. XD

New Post is up. Morganna will be there tomorrow. Right now... I'm bushed. :P

Children of the Otherworld - An Isekai Story

"Rise..." The voice resounded in the heads of the three individuals. Minami opened her eyes to see the train-station platform completely deserted. Dalton slowly pulled himself into a sitting position inside his destroyed car, and Belo... he didn't know how but he was STANDING on top of the ocean! As the three took stock of their surroundings, they all noticed something similar in their experiences. It seemed as though time itself had stopped for each of them.

As Minami rose to her feet, she could see the image of her body sprawled on the ground and bleeding from a head wound. Vacating the car, Dalton found another version of himself still sitting there beaten and bloodied. If Belo squinted hard enough, he could just make out the silhouette of his drowned body just beneath the waves. Their fascinations were interrupted by the sudden appearance of a bright golden doorway in front of them. On the other side stood what could only be described as... an angel of death?! The figure was at least six and a half feet tall and had massive black wings sprouting from his back. His body was covered in golden armor and a long glowing sword was attached to his arm. He gestured for the three to step through the gate.

"Come," he said. As if to obey him, all three found themselves inexplicably drawn through the door. Upon stepping through, they were each in a void with the unusual being.

MINAMI
Drasil regarded the unassuming girl with a cold stare. [color=gold][i]"Not strong, not particularly extraordinary, but..." As if on cue, Minami's voice echoed through the void.

"Oh, Minami, Minami, Minami... What a wasted life you lead, huh? You couldn't do anything, because you were weak, because you didn't have the courage. I... I just wish... I just wanted... To be like... Others... Why couldn't I be pretty like the other girls? Why... Why couldn't I talk back when people were calling me crap? I... I wanted to be brave and strong and cool... If I... If I ever got to be pretty... No, if I was ever a babe, I'd snub all those pretty-boy-casanovas only interested in tits and asses..."

"You possess a fire within you that can't be ignored." Drasil reached forth his hand and Minami was enveloped in a golden light. She heard a voice in her head as something began to change.

"Soul Transfer Initiated! Suitable Race selected! Scanning soul..." Now it felt as though something were digging through her mind, her thoughts open like a book. "Skills Selected! Desire for Courage - Resist Fear Unlocked! Desire for Strength - Atlas Unlocked! Powerful Desire to Live combined with Desire for Beauty - LEGENDARY SKILL Life Drain Unlocked! Racial Traits - Blood Serf Unlocked!

As the light vanished, Minami was dropped back onto the ground. Drasil strode up to her and threw a smirk down at the young woman, "Today your desires have been granted. Welcome to my world of Vecta, Miss Minami! My name is Drasil. When you are ready, come and find me." Minami's vison suddenly went black and when she came too, she was lying on the ground outside of a gothic castle. Her office clothes replaced by a simple black dress and a dagger at her waist.

DALTON
Stepping through the gate, Drasil cocked his head at the young man, "An unusual soul. Deprived of any chance to prove yourself... " The god couldn't help but smile as Dalton last thoughts echoed around them.

"I didn't want to spend so much time studying! I didn't want to play nice, and be a kiss-up, to people who deserved to have their teeth kicked in! I didn't want to be bullied, or shunned! Everyone treated me like dirt, but if I ever stepped a toe out of line, I was the bad guy?! Society lets people who cheat, and steal, and lie, have everything they ever wanted but I was the selfish one for thinking I deserved better?!"

"Untapped anger, but with no true direction. You seek a world in which you can rise or fall by your own strength. You'll be a perfect candidate." Raising his hand, Drasil summoned the light once again and Dalton felt his mind be scanned as the transformation process occurred.

"Soul Transfer Initiated! Suitable Race selected! Scanning soul... Skills Selected! Desire for Battle- Combat Sense Unlocked! Desire to Lead - Pack Leader Unlocked! Powerful Desire to DESTROY detected! - LEGENDARY SKILL Primal Rage Unlocked! Racial Traits - Hunter's Trap Unlocked!

Stepping up to Dalton as the light vanished, Drasil offered a hand, "If you're going to get ahead in this world, you're going to need a pack of your own to follow you. I think I know right where I can send you. Welcome to Vecta, young Dalton". With that, Drasil and the void faded into black. When Dalton could open his eyes, he was no longer bleeding out on a city street, but instead was lying face down in the middle of a forest.

BELO

To say Belo's experience was "unique" would be putting it gently. As he walked over the waves towards the hole in reality, Drasil smiled at him, "A perfect physical specimen! You'll make a fine addition to the world of Vecta, dear friend. I've been watching your journey for some time now. Now let's see..." Unlike Minami and Dalton, scenes from Belo's life began to play out around the two beings in the void. Scenes of childhood, of battle, and of loss.

"Your life tells a sad story, Captain Belo," said Drasil, observing each memory. "Howeverm it was not meant to end here! You've been gifted a new life in a new world. You'll have a new family to protect very soon!" The light began to close in around Belo and his mind became an open book to whatever power it was that Drasil had summoned. This time, due to Belo's lifespan, the processs took slightly longer than it did previously.

"Soul Transfer Initiated! Suitable Race selected! Scanning soul... Skills Selected! Desire for Battle- Combat Sense Unlocked! Desire to Defend- Iron Skin Unlocked! WARNING POWERFUL Desire for the Seas Detected - Master of Seas Unlocked! Racial Traits - Elemental Resistance Unlocked!

As the process completed, Drasil approached Belo and placed a hand on his chest. "The seas of a whole new world are calling to you, Captian. Go out and conquer in my name. I am Drasil. Welcome to my world of Vecta!"
