Prologue

Ah D&D (Dungeons and dragons). Oh way to relieve the mine and go on a epic adventure. Our DM (dungeon master) wanted us to relive our old characters in a one shot.

I was Ax the changeling warlock. My character is kind of the badass leader of the group with some obvious faults.

Ax serves the Raven Queen, The goddess of life and death.

We were finishing up and about to go home for the night. Our DM was moving countries and it was most likely that we would never see him again. Oh though we could still play online the problem is with the different time zones.

I grabbed my two character sheets one with my character and one with the spells and begin to leave the building that the owners let us stay in. A small corner store but very nice owners our town loves them.

I buy a quick snack and head outside. just then another man walked in with a black hoodie. He looked a little suspicious so I followed him back inside. I have a gut feeling about these things and my gut feeling says that this guy is trouble. I grab a drink pretending I forgot something and hid myself a bit.

Everyone had left and it’s 9 o’clock the stores about to close. That’s when I heard some yelling. “Put the money in the bag!“ and just like that my gut feeling was right.

I Peak around the corner to see the guy holding a gun towards the storekeeper. The old man was frightened to death so I knew I had to act.

I pulled out my phone but it was dead. I silently curse to myself I can rush at him But what can I do I’m just a normal nerd that play D&D. I could try talking to him but he seems the kind that is desperate so talking just might get me killed. I can’t just let them get away either. What can I do?

I then remember a quote. “we all feel fear it is what we do with it that allows us to succeed in life.“ I then realized that I made that quote as Ax.

I look at the bottle that I had grabbed luckily it was glass so I started forming A plan.

As the store owner started putting money in the bag I yelled “hey!” The robber shot his head around to come face-to-face with my bottle that I threw at him.

I ran forward wanting to get him before he had a chance but I was too late. He pointed his gun at me and fired a shot. I don’t know if it hit me or not but I kept running forward and tackled him against the counter.

The air rushed out of his lungs as I punched him in the face and threw him to the ground. I jumped on top of him wrestling for the gun then another three shots rang out striking me in the gut at point blank range.

Finally I took the gun and aimed it at him. I could see the fear in the man’s eyes. Those eyes told me of a story of a man who lost everything.

Slowly I got off of him and motioned him to get out of here. The man ran for his life.

The elderly store keeper rushed to my aid. He tried speaking to me but all I could hear were muffled sounds. Slowly my vision went darker. Even knowing I was going to die I had a smile on my face. And I don’t even know why.

I saw myself in a dark void. Darkness was all that was around me. I continue looking around hoping to find something but there was nothing.

Just then out in the void came a woman. She had a black silk dress on and black hair with pale skin. Overall she was the symbol of graceful and beauty.

“Why thank you my child” she had said with a smirk. I tried to speak but nothing came out.

“You cannot speak here for you do not have a body. Ever since I saw you I took an interest towards you. And after you made your 17th character Ax with a decent backstory towards me I am allowing you to live.”

Wait she is the raven queen. I thought she would be beautiful but not like this.

“Are my standards for you so low” her hands reached out and grabbed what I believed was my face, I couldn’t fully feel it.

“I want to see if your serve me as well as you served in role-play. In return you shall be granted the full power of a demigod. Prove to me my child that you are worth it and you shall be given power beyond your dreams.”

I believed I accepted because she had a smile on her face next. “That’s it my child, you shall be given the body of Ax and his memories will be your memories. His skills are now yours. And his power is yours. I am also giving you unlimited spell slots, your arcane focus is all that you need to power a spell and a few other bonuses that you’re find lovely.”

Already I can feel my body shape but it didn’t feel right. “Relax my child the world will be a Harsh place towards you and your kind but only you can unite them. You know what you must do. Make mama proud” she said with a giggle.

Once again the world goes dark darker than before. I constantly look for my surroundings but there’s nothing there but this time I feel my body grow more. But it feels weird. Like your entire body is backwards.

Thankfully I don’t feel pain for I’m sure that this would be one hell of an experience.

Suddenly I can see A bright light coming from the distance that is slowly getting closer. I feel like my body is finish but yet it is wrong. I don’t even feel like a humanoid.

The light gets closer and closer and now there are clothes on me. It’s hard to see but I can feel leather. It must be the armour I use.

Finally the light is in front of me. I feel it’s warmth around me like the sun. like a nice breeze in an afternoon the wind surrounds me… And I am in the air plummeting to the ground!
