"Everyone is hunter and everyone is prey"
Partybit was walking through the streets of bucklund,clad in dark green military general coat and a loenese top hat.He was searching for a place to eat after work
He eventually went to a expensive cafe frequented by nobles and those of high society,he picked up the menu and looked through the items and eventually ordering steak with a glass of absinithe.
The waiter,in white shirt and a black vest served the order and curiously asked "sir, would you not order holy bread?".
Apprently in the big cities, people had started losing faith in God and some had started worshiping bread.
Not again,what fool would worship a dish of the poor?.Am I really starting to resemble those idiots?.
"No",he said,his tone carrying a hint of disappointment.after eating the food and paying 2 pounds he stepped outside of the cafe.
He looked for a carriage at get back to the military headquarters for an important meeting.
Party lived in the loen Kingdom which was fighting an civil war of ideology,dividing the nation into lotm and lom factions,today the war was getting heated and party and the two other generals of the lotm factions were called upon for a stregic meeting
Party was a sequence 1 angel of the seer pathway and held the rank of general with the two other angels of the seer pathway
Upon reaching his destination and alighting from the carriage after paying 10 soli,He made his way into the building which resembled an ancient castle with the touch of modern day steam machinary.
There, upon reaching the third floor his eyes met two figures among many.There was a blond man in his twenties with sharp emerald eyes and a contrasting smile which made the heart warm- tls
And another man stood beside him with midnight Black hair,chiseled face and dark eyes - destroyer
They both placed their fists on their right chest and saluted.
Though the 3 were almost same age,party had risen through the ranks during the agenda war due to his valiant efforts and bravery
This was also the time where he met his lover and now wife - luffy-kun.
Party responsed with the same salute and the trio went into the meeting room to discuss the events happening in the war.
Of the tree generals,tls controled the coastline,destroyer was assigned the borders and party handled the mainland
The discussion was brief but gloomy.lotm was losing the war and the military was expecting a full scale invasion from the lom kingdom.
After the discussion it was clear that lotm needed a new god,and with the uniqueness bieng found.The time wasn't far that one of the generals would be chosen to become the next fool.
What do i do?
How do I get myself and my nation out of this predicament?
I know I am the likely candidate for the fool,but can I really take this gamble?
Questions flooded his mind and the unknown future ahead held a tint of doubt.
After what felt like a very long day at work,party boarded a public carriage and decided to go home.
But suddenly his spirituality gave him a premonition
He took off from the carriage a few streets before and used an ring to transverse the spirit world directly to reach his doorstep.
While in the realm of enhanced colours and extraordinary creatures,he used anti divination at the level of an angel to reduce spiritual premonition.
After he materialised in the hallway,he heard voices of men and a woman. Muffled screams and moans were let out in the unusually quiet room, combined with growling of a dog in between.
His heart froze,but he did not lose his temper and camly teleported again to a public park.
After reaching the park he sat on a bench and analysed the situation infront of him.
F*ck,my wife is cheating on me,my lovely wife is cheating on me with multiple men.and a dog?
Am I worse than a dog?
After pondering this for a while,his mind slowly grasped the gravity of the situation.
He consoled himself and grieved on it for a while,gradually he stood up and started walking around the park.
Suddenly,an idea struck his mind,this heavily undesired encountered had opened a new path for him and possibly,also for his nation.
""""""
At the lotm government treasury
Party bit suddenly emerged from the void and grafted the saint level guards to different distances.
There he took the Uniqueness of the fool pathway,which was shaped into a ethereal mask and a also 0-02,trunsoest brass book.
Afterwards he took anti divination measures and use the uniqueness to fool the area as if two angels had committed the crime.
He immediately switched to the marionette at the office and started acting like nothing had happened.
After a minute or so a spirit reached the office,with the letter regarding the breach of the treasury.
"""
At the safe house,with all the high ranking members,party bit was conducting the investigation of the theft.
"General,we have confirmed that the uniqueness and 0-02 are the only items missing"A bronze skinned man said with serious look on his face.
"Hmm,my divination also points to the two of them,as if it's too clear"after a brief pause he asked "todr, Don't you think that perhaps someone is trying to put the blame on them?".
The man with a machine arm and fake eye replied"but sir, it could also be that,by making it seems like a blame game they are protecting themselves".
Party pondered as he told the man "yeah that could be the case,but if the idea was to steal,why is 0-01 still here?.Anyways wrap up the investigation here and call them here,I shall meet them myself".
""""
At the military prison room
"General party,this is clearly a ploy to sow discord among us by those of the lotm side". destroyer said frantically
"Party sir,do you really believe that we were the once who did this?".tls spoke with a calm but hasty demeanor.
Party kept his quiet and put his hand into his coat's pocket.
Suddenly the room felt as if a veil had surrounded it.
Sensing this both tls and destroyer tried to graft the spirit world but they had no luck doing so.
From within the pocket of his coat,party tool out a vintage looking brown book.
It has some rules written on it with number
1.Connection and Travel of spirit world is prohibited
2.For the criminals of the nation,godhood is prohibited.
In a mere moment of activation and fooling the book,the angels infront of him were no more than marriottes of a sequence 5 of tje seer pathway.
"You.." both tls's and destroyer's mouth Twitched but they knew their lives were more important than confronting the enemy.
Immediately destroy switched to the marionette of a prince of abolition and discarded his original set of body to make it lose control and distract party.
While tls was at a much worse condition,he changed to a guard of abyss pathway and switched his soul to the corresponding body.
Now in the guards body and outside,he ran with all his might
This beyonder,now with a strength of a seq 4 but a level of an angel kept running with all his might.
In the prison room
Party bit fooled the souls of the angels to their marriottes,fooling them to become their original bodies so he would not have to take on two angelic monsters at once.
Their sucidal plot had been cancelled but they had also been given life again.
These two beyonders with a lack of harmony and tetering of brink of losing control didn't seem much of a threat to the now king of angels
But party knew,those who were capable enough to reach the peaks of the fool pathway weren't so feeble that he could sit idly,they would come back, stronger then ever and take revenge from him
Thus he immediately pulled out saint level historical images and chased them as he would digest the characteristics.
"""""
Near the coastal area of backlund,tls was running with all his might as he saw a projection of a women chasing him- Luffy-kun.
He knew that if the demoness caught up to him,it would be fatal.
They kept running, and eventually tls was cornered.
The sea was on his back and the demoness in front.
Seeing this,he smiled and took out a sword of lava.
"I am gonna die anyways,let my fight my best atleast".He knew he would die if even a single strike of the demoness gazed him.
But looking at the reaper in the eye,he couldn't help but smile.
As the demoness was about to follow him into the sea.
Rumble!
Thunder roared and heaven's opened up, letting way for agressive raindrops
A man,with dark blue hair and broad shoulders descended from the sky.
A huge bolt of lightning striked the coast, effectively striking the projection of the demoness.
The man quickly dived with a gush of wind and picked up tls only to jump again and disappear into the sea.
After flying for a while,they landed on a boat seemingly lost in the middle of the sea.
"Hehe boy, that was a close one wasn't it"The man chuckled.
"Thanks a lot sir,I owe my life to you"tls exhaled.
"No need for the formalities junior,these witches have been getting stronger lately"suddenly he had a thought,"but this one was even weirder it had a aura of a higher level but was easily taken care of"
"That's becau-".as tls was about to explain he was cut off.
"I don't need to know.The less I know,the longer I will live"the man said with a smile
"Thanks again sir you can drop me at the next port"tls said, finally wiping off that crazy smile
"No, you're coming with me,my Island is famous for roasted whale meat and it's very delicious"
"..."tls was momentarily froze
"What's your name senior?"
The sailor kept looking at the waves ahead and indifferently replied "No tomato"
"""""
3 Months later at a official court house.
The man sitting in the seat of the judge pressed a hammer and the man seated below him announced
"In presence of our honor Mr key player,i announce the case no 1732".
"The case concerns adultery and domestic assault,with both sides being present the court shall now be in session".
As soon as the announcer sat,an array of camera flashed and sounds of typewriter were heard.
Meanwhile in the streets of backlund
People had gathered around a newsboy covered from feet to head with papers
The papers were of different publications and one was titled "General accused of adultery 6 months after marriage,files for divorce"
The people swarmed and rushed to read the updates
This news had become a national hit and everyone was discussing it.
In the so called conservative land of former loen republic,these stories of adultery had become great amusement for the people.
In the courtroom
A man in a lawyer's coat spoke "Your honour,my client is accused of commiting adultery with many men and even a dog,if this isn't baseless I don't know what is".
"Your honor,my client is also accused of have multiple mistr.....
Both sides fired vile accusations on each other and the judge viewed the corresponding edvidences.
The case was tight,but party as a man in loen and also the only remaining general of the republic was being favoured by the law.
As the judge was about to strike the wooden hammer and announce the final verdict, something clicked in the back of the courtroom.
They all looked back,but luffy-kun was rapidly diminishing like a projection with curtains closing.
Party bit was no longer seated in the courtroom but assending the skies of backlund.
Suddenly not only in the court but all over the world people felt their thoughts slowing down as if their intelligence had been forcefully reduced.
This was the authority of a God.
The fool was born.
Party bit felt as if all the people of lotm faction were him,all the people of the former loen Kingdom were him,all the people of the world were him.
Partybit had this idea from the moment he saw his wife cheating,he was looking to fool the world somehow and probably also fool his fate.
He had orchestrated everything, from the ploy to take the characteristics to this fake divorce and also to popularise it to increase the effectiveness of fooling history.
After the shock from the ascension had slowly faded away.
The people of the lotm faction realised their grim circumstance,the two betrayer generals were loyal and this loyal one had betrayed them.
With all the 3 generals either getting killed or betraying,the result of this war was not just likely.
It was certain.
Lotm had lost and lom had won.
In the camp of the lom faction,after feeling the completion of the ritual, lomwillprevail was laughing menecegly.
But suddenly,he stopped laughing and took out a monocle and placed it in his right eye socket.
With a curl of his lips,his face underwent a change.
A face every High ranking figure of this world knew,madhub.
With of shrill screech,all the clocks in the world lost their tuning,all machines started malfunctioning.
The Error had also descended the world.
With the rapid loss of the leaders of the two factions and the birth of new gods,also paving the path for many more.
The trends of time were about to change
And the lake of history would feel it's ripples.
But no one knew for certain wether it was a-
"Bestowment or a Curse"
