Noah is the youngest of the flood stories mentioned. By centuries.

Some fun fact.

I'm sorry to say this, but this feels like a fanfic written by Pat Robertson.

The llama angle had me in stitches.. unexpected but funny!

This sounds like a Zelda game

Chapter 1: I open this journal, a blank page upon which I gather what memory I have left. Like a dream they seem to fade from my mind every time I return to life. Every time a new world, every time another quest. Four times I believe this has happened, possibly a few more give or take. In my earliest memory I distinctly recall being rather tired of having to be awoken from my slumber.

I sit now at an inn's dining room, after renting a humble bedroom with the little coin I was given from the Oracle. The beer is rather bland in this world. Gods be good I still remember that one with dark beers that came in glass pints so that you could see the creamy foam. What I wouldn't give to have that again.

I woke up around a day ago at the shore. Washed up again it seems. The Oracle was a hermit and had made a campfire ready by the time I awoke. He invited me to sit and warm myself as he would tell me what would have to be done. That's what he said. "Come, lad. Come and sit and hear my tale! I foresaw that you would arrive here from distant lands. I knew you would come and I knew that only you could save us from the Western terror..."

Not this shite again, I thought. I had just gotten comfortable with my previous life. What was I again? I think an alchemist of sorts. No, wait, that was the second time. Oh yes, I was the heir to a throne. Gods be good, I miss the high life right now.

The Oracle began to tell me of some Empire that came from the west. "The Tenebras came during the Night. The mystical Emperor that bares no name but his title began a terrible war with his inhuman army. They kidnapped Princess Alicia the Maiden Queen. Her consort the Dragon Knight Yllia was driven mad with grief and lead the last of our Kingdom's troops to follow the Western terror Empire but has sent no word back to us. We fear the worst. But I saw that a Hero of great might would come, and your arrival has confirmed my prophecy!"

He actually went on a lot more but I honestly stopped listening after he said they kidnapped a princess. Why is it always princesses being kidnapped? And why is it always kidnapped but no hostage situation? They just lock the poor girls in a Tower for seemingly no reason. Maiden Queen, ha ha, that's a new one though. With a consort, wonder how that works.

The Oracle told me to go to this town on the right path of the crossroad and begin my journey, I would meet some man there that would teach me the skills of becoming a ranger. I know exactly how that was gonna end up: they train me as a scout, they send me off to an expedition of sorts, my teacher gets killed and or assassinated along the way but not before giving me some special artifact. Then I continue the journey into a land getting a ragtag team of misfits, usually four plus me that makes a five-man band. Power of friendship, yadi yadi. If we find that Dragon fart the Oracle mentioned he's either dead, dying or turned evil by a spell. If we meet that evil Emperor we're gonna be halfway defeated, someone might die for a week or so before revealed to have survived. Then we gather strength again, maybe learn magic or something I dont know. Defeat the guy, save the girl happily ever fucking after. Then I get to enjoy some peace and quiet until some fart knocks me out, I shit myself to death or killed while slaying a random Dragon. Rinse and repeat.

The Oracle told me to take the right at the crossroads, better fucking believe I took left.

I love this story.

The signal was first recorded by a group of twelve international scientists gathered in India as part of an educational exercise on galactic formation sponsored by the Circinus Knowledge Transfer Council. Per routine protocol, the signal was logged and the recording disseminated securely to host nations participating in the knowledge transfer as part of the daily training summary. From this daily training summary, each participating nation followed CKTC protocol, briefing their own scientific experts at home on the findings and teachings of the summit. At this point, each nation was to encrypt and store the daily briefing information inside of the provided Circinus Vault. All host nations performed this task to the letter, except one.

 

Dr. Philip Andrews, a professor of geology, participated in the briefing performed by the US scientific council and was intrigued with the radio emission signal mentioned during a brief segment of the talk. Andrews was an avid historical hobbyist in his free time, delving deep into the technology, media, and art created Before Circinus. He had recently reconstructed a pair of crude radio transmitters from the turn of the 21st century (approximately 300 BC) and was intrigued by the idea of playing a modern never before heard radio signal on BC hardware. Andrews stored the signal in his personal cartridge and returned home at the end of the day. Two hours after leaving work, approximately 16 hours after the signal was first received, Andrews received a priority call to return to the US department of research for an urgent inquiry.

 

Neither Dr. Philip Andrews, nor any of the twelve scientists part of the international scientific coalition, were ever seen again. What was initially thought to be a radio emission occurring due to star formation in a distant galaxy at a specific wavelength known as the 21 cm line was discovered to have slight anomalies when examined by Circinus AI after the host nation daily summary had been performed. This 21 cm wavelength was discovered to be a mask, the signal mimicking its behavior in order to penetrate as far as possible. The anomaly was determined to be a primary defect and triggered CKTC immediate redaction and containment procedures. All human knowledge receivers were successfully quarantined. Andrews’ personal cartridge was recovered and destroyed during his intake.

 

Before he returned to work, however, Andrews used his radio transmitter to send a message to his daughter asking if she was enjoying her half of the antique radio he had sent to her as a birthday gift the previous week and to wish her well on her trip. He then decided to use a unique sign off signal that he told his daughter had first been heard by human ears that very day. She had been recording her side of the message as a keepsake for her upcoming voyage.

 

They knew that Circinus allowed us to learn basic properties of the Universe. So they allowed Circinus to deliver to us and teach us the one fact that Circinus did not want us to learn. That we are not students. We are prisoners.

can we get the guy that voiced the angel in ultrakill to read this?

What they did not realise though was, that humans where capable of diplomacy on a level that has never been seen before as well as something that was an even bigger shock to everyone : Humans had nuclear weapons which was something no other race had ever managed to even comprehend in its function. Humans tried negotiating piece between the different races at first . But when Humans actually managed to make a deal with the other states of the galaxy the rouge-state turned on them and attacked them too . Humanity didn’t even bother to attempt diplomatic solutions in this case . They sent a single ship. The Rouges laughed at them and ignored it till the very second humans unleashed hell and the nuclear-space-torpedo breached through the attacking forces energy-shield and blew up as bright as a sun, disintegrating the whole attacking fleet with a single blow. One FTL-travel later the Ship started engaging with the rouges planetary defence-system destroying it with easy within 3 hours their whole space-army was wiped out and they surrendered. Humans took control and got the population back from being war-hungry rouges to a calm species. And while the other galactic states where still in shock humans started assembling an intergalactic council with members of all races to prevent any future wars.

Oh, she and Eve got let back into Eden, don't worry

What happened to Ayla?

>Colors in variety surpassing the mortal ability to describe filled the whole Realm

Would you say they were colors unlike any ever seen on earth?

Don't let HP lovecraft find out

You my friend have my admiration

The blood of modern humans is iron-based, because it turns out that there is significant evolutionary pressure against copper-based blood while the Fae are around.

Interestingly, the hero did actually save them, in the long term.

sells for a lot

Maybe this letter is what prompts the hero to say fuck it. It's the letter they pull out to read whenever they start to waiver in their not doing it anymore attitude

I would upvote this masterpiece but its at 69 upvotes and I wont ruin it To the 113 people who upvoted it at 69, I am shamed. But thank as I may now upvote it

Yeah this prompt was almost asking for someone perverse to go there but it's against the subreddit rules. I guarantee if it wasn't, there would have been a response like that.

Truck-kun's distant cousin, Carriage-chan

Damn Truck-kun, doing overtime in fantasy worlds...

>He’s one necromancer with the power to control about a hundred skeletons. That stupid gem maybe doubles it. Behind him is a bandit clan of about fifty. You’re a city of adventurers and a standing army of almost triple that.

Hero used math! It's super effective!
