Chapter Text
Prologue - A regression of ages: a godly harem
There’s no reason to tell this tale, as I am a nobody, with no powers and abilities.
My name is Edward, and I have always been someone with no talents. I was born in the Magic Extinction Era, a period in time where Magic was stolen by the outer gods.
Nera, the goddess of Vanishing Existence, wiped the natural order of Terra, leading to the eventual creation of the Pillars of Eternity. The stoic Planet asked for humanity help, but as we were caught in a surprise by Nera’s deception, we were stolen of our power.
Though now, as we approach the end of our lives, we stand here, in the middle of the end. We didn’t answer our home’s call, and now it will soon die.
All humanity rallied on the streets, most of them cried, while others shouted at the crimson sky.
I, like many others, stood in silence, accepting my fate.
Minutes passed and then, the sky turned black. Clouds vanished, then, it was the trees. Our houses crumbled into dust, then it was our time.
One by one, every human turned into ashes. This is the world without magic, without life, without balance.
As everyone disappeared in front of me, I let out a single tear. Even if I hated my useless life, at least I had my good share of fun. I was known by many names, but my favourite was the “Battle horse”, not because I was strong or fast, but as my skills in bed were superior to anyone else.
My only wish is that I could have lived longer, to have more sex. I know that’s a perverted dream, but it was my vocation! Something I was really good at!
It was finally my time.
“Take me with you Terra!”
I shouted as my body slowly turned to dust. First were my legs, then arms. My torso disappeared, hearing my heartbeat for one last time. And then my eyes stopped seeing.
Everything turned black.
…
Sometime passed, I still felt alive. My soul didn’t die!
But what was I supposed to do now?
I waited more, until finally… I saw my final moments again! Although they were running in reverse?
It started with my death, then it showed all my life, until it surpassed my birth. I witnessed my parents life, before I was even born. Then my grandparents, followed by their parents. My whole lineage was appearing before my eyes. I must have traveled eons back in time, until a light flashed my mind.
I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
Until I heard my heartbeat again.
I was alive.
I opened my eyes, and saw the blue sky for the first time. A huge contrast between the red skies I’ve lived during my lifetime.
“Where am I”
I looked everywhere, there was no sign of intelligent life. A few insects on the grass and some other wildlife animals.
Then I looked at myself and… was I completely naked? I wasn’t wearing anything!
“Why the fuck am I naked?”
I yelled at the sky, scaring the fauna.
Though other question begged to be answered.
Before I get up, I hear something:
“Terra needs your help human. The outer gods have infiltrated the planet. You need to stop them before they steal Magic again. This is our last chance. Change their mind before it’s too late”
Why was I chosen?
No answer was heard.
I’m left in the middle of nowhere, and they expect me to solve their issues? I’m only able to make women feel great, and that’s it!
I decided to at least make myself an underwear, with some of the huge leaves I grabbed from the trees.
“This will do for now… I must admit it feels kinda small, I should have made it bigger, knowing I’m that well endowed”
I get up and start walking south, while often fixing the underwear, as it almost falls down with every step.
I walk with the hope of learning what I actually need to do.
