You approach the tower’s gates. You were unable to find clothes for you large and powerfully built frame. It is simple wood, with a large crystal knocker on it. It glides open when you approach. A soft chime fills the air.

“Oh gods, as if my day wasn’t. . . Ahh, greetings visitor! Welcome to my tower! I am Silanius the-“
He cuts off as he glides down the stair and goggles at you.
“-Did you eat a god or something? Even with the accelerated time table, we may still have a chance!“ He huffs and turns around to go back upstairs.
“Well come on, we got to figure this out. “

You go up the stairs behind the wizard, climbing high before you enter a room with hundreds of books and several comfortable chairs.

“Honestly, we don’t have time for the mystical bullshit, sorry,” The wizard leaned over the desk from his chair and rubbed his eyes. His beard stretched down to the table. He jabbed a finger at a parchment.

“The Ascendency are coming. Hundreds of warships flying across dimensions, coming here. This is what spurred the Abyss to strike, to pillage as much of they could of this world before they arrived.”

“On top of that, the Chosen One is running around going from strength to strength. She should be next on your list-“

“You are looking confused, I should explain. Our organization works across many worlds like this one, building networks and stopping disasters. The Council has plans involving creating a Chosen One to steer history into a desired path, while we needed someone to counter her.”

“The master was passing by when your mother prayed for you to be strong. He was looking for a candidate and granted her wish, giving you the ability to draw strength from the world around you. The Abyss attack was indeed unexpected and threw everything into a bit of chaos, but you have adapted admirably! King of Mankind, huh? A powerful choice. Just beware the Chosen One, if she gets wind that you are draining the life of humanity on this planet, she will try to take you out before you do too much damage.”

A lot of this flew over your head.

What do you do?
A. Ask what you should do next.
B. Express confusion over what is going on.
C. Just leave, he seems like a waste of time.
D. Something else?

Wait, we are draining the life of humanity here? I thought we were leading humanity, draining the life of other things to support humanity...

[Naturegirl1999]

Hm
Maybe we passively drain the life of things around us?

You grab him by the collar of his robes and lift him into the air.
“Smaller. Words.” You growl.

He stammers a bit before replying.
“Okay, okay, you were made to fight a chosen one, an elvish woman named Amara. But demons invaded first so that plan is tits up. Boss still wants her gone, but after that you are free to do whatever. Keep working for us, stay here or go wherever.”

You slowly nod. You don’t really understand what is going on, but the concepts are over your head anyways. You furrow your brow.
“What do you mean, draining the life of humanity? I defend it, I take strength from those I kill.”

The wizard shakes his head and gestures to the floor. You put him down, if not gently.

“Rogg, remember how your mother grew weaker as you grew older? How you could grow nothing in your yard around your home? Your curse is you draw strength from the world around you. Your powers forge a bond between you and your subjects. You can lend strength to them, but that is only temporary. It is a slow process though.”

You can hear the pounding of your heart.
“How can I stop it?”
The wizard pauses. “The easiest would be to eventually leave. You have awhile before your effects grow too deleterious. Just be cautious of staying in one place for years on end. You could also change your powers when you reach a milestone. You would still drain strength, just in a local area instead of your realm.”

What do you do?
A. Ask where to go next.
B. Ask more questions.
C. Smash.
D. Something else?

The wizard shrugs, “Destablize the social order, maybe forge something new that will turn rotten down this worlds timeline. Or their death causes something good to happen in the future. I don’t know for sure, I just receive the orders.”

“Now for the Ascendency, they shouldn’t be here for some months yet. You will know when they arrive, but the Abyss should be dealt with first or they may just scour this world to stop any corruption. ”
