Terras POV
It has been two days since Project Redemption and there has been surprisingly minimal fallout. There was only a slew of natural disasters across the globe. Flooding, tornadoes, storms, earthquakes, tsunamis, etc. all occurred with a stronger than average ferocity and some of these were out of season. The meteorology departments across the globe were probably having heart attacks since these events were all unexpected. Weather forecasts are 95% accurate so having so many surprises likely made them dumbfounded.
Early theories are blaming the weather phenomena on a passing comet or some other astral body. There has been major damage done due to the berserk weather and its likely to continue for the next couple of days but it cant be helped. Considering how close to doomsday we all were, I think this is an acceptable result. I could have sworn that more mana had leaked out before I closed the dimensional rift, but I dont mind being wrong.
If there was more mana released back into this world it would have manifested itself by now. *Sigh* Ill just have to wait and see. Magic once existed on Earth, before it was supplanted by technology. Mana is still present, but it lies dormant deep in the Earth and up in the stars. Having such a jolt of active mana from the Redemption Project could maybe awaken old sites of legend or ancient legacies that have nearly faded from existence.
The only things the world has going for it are the letter o, the massive amount of succulent 2-legged cattle, and the fact that I am now here to make things more lively. The fresh corpse sitting next to me might disagree, but fuck him hes dead! That librarian deserved it though, the nerve of him asking whether I have a library card! Just remembering it again makes me so agitated!!!!! *Crunch* *Smash* *Tear* Ahhhhh, nothing like mauling a corpse to lift ones spirits. As one might suspect due to there being a librarians corpse nearby, I am currently in a library. Even though I had some instinctive general knowledge imbued to me at my birth, it was woefully inadequate. Thus, I decided to go to a library. The internet it had was very helpful.
It was thanks to the internet that I realized the plight of this world. By reading the news and learning about the many issues and problems in this world I have discovered my calling. I need to save this world from progressing down the wrong path of ABSOLUTE FUCKING MONOTONY! I will show the world the beauty of blood-stained anything, the awesomeness of excessive explooooosions, the jooooys of the letter o, and how to properly cook a beef tartare.
I will need minions to accomplish the above goals (because seriously, who doesnt know that cooking with friends is way more fun than cooking alone). Luckily, I have quite a few younger brothers and sisters. They were born the same day I was, although I was born first and with the biggest bang. They are currently scattered about but I can sniff them out easily enough. There may be some rebellious ones but nothing a few eviscerations cant fix.
My lovely siblings will be excellent minions even if they are not as strong, smart or handsome as myself. A lean 6-foot frame with red hair and red eyes along with a pale, non-descript face make me quite attractive. Okay, I lied. I am rather ordinary looking apart from my coloring. But in comparison to my siblings, I am by far the most attractive. I will make a fine-looking statue after I save the world (or possibly destroy it, but lets not sweat the small details).
Before I can start down that path I need to pick a name for myself. I cant imagine the kind of person who would do something as amazing as saving the world and not even tell anyone about it. I need a name for the unwashed masses to cry out in despair as I ignite the faint embers of dullness in this world into an inferno of fun! Ohh, I rather like the phrase inferno of fun its such a delicious mix of arson, playfulness and the letter o. Its decided, that will be my lifes motto.
Anyway, back to figuring out my name. Hmmm, decisions, decisions. Lucifer is an option that appeals to me, but although I truly love his work I want a name that doesnt have so much history behind it. Same reasoning would also eliminate the name Elmo. Man, this is a tough question to answer Wait, I have it! As the one who will create an inferno of fun in this world, I need a name that is fitting towards that theme! And I have just the one! Ahem, so lets try the intro again. Hello world! My name is Dante and I will be leading you into an inferno of fun!
