Chapter 1: Prologue: The death of a certain guy

Aeron was a pretty normal guy, finally starting his life in college, wondering if he would be able to sustain himself without the help of his parents, and wondering if he could be able to even find a job someday.

That was until a certain pandemic appeared, and his college life was suspended and replaced with a beautiful quarantine, leaving him trapped in his apartment with nothing to do, completely bored to death.

While surfing through hundreds of videos on YouTube, his eyes caught a glance of a certain video that made him interested

[Terraria 1.4 release]

After watching the whole video, Aeron started speaking to himself with an excited look in his eyes as he looked through all the new things that this new update could have.

"It has been almost 3 years since I played Terraria, and since I'm kinda bored these days... Maybe I should play it once again?..."

And just like that, Aeron spent his days playing Terraria. Whether it was getting all the achievements, making beautiful houses, becoming rich, or of course the most tedious of all them, creating the zenith.

It actually took him quite a while to create...

" I finally did it, I created the zenith" Aeron, who was leaning back on his chair, sighed in exhaustion after finally managing to create the ultimate weapon in the game.

After reminiscing all those hardships he went through to create it, his thoughts started wandering across the memories of this long path that he followed until this day.

'That fucking enchanted sword was impossible to find... I almost used a Map Viewer to reveal the whole map just to find it easily... But in the end I managed to do it by myself'

However, soon the sound of his guts stopped his thinking and reminded him to eat something before continuing to play.

Soon, Aeron got up from his seat and left his room while caressing gently his stomach with an expectant look on his face.

"Let's check what's in the fridge to eat"

However, as soon as he entered the Kitchen and opened the fridge, he found out that there were just ingredients for him to cook himself some nutritious food. Of course, him being the lazy person that he is, thought that cooking was too much work, and decided to go to the nearest shop to buy himself some snacks.

*Broooooooom!!*

However, as if karma itself wanted to punish him for being too lazy, an incredibly fast truck soon appeared on his path and started speeding up towards him. On top of the steering wheel, there was a sleeping drunk driver that seemed to be completely unaware of the guy right in front of his truck, and pretty much continued sleeping even after feeling a small bump at the frontal part of his vehicle.

*Splat*

...

An unknown amount of time later...

*Sigh...*

"How long is this fucking line? I don't know how much time have I been here waiting, but I still can't see the end of it..." Aeron said in a low voice while watching the seemingly infinite line of souls.

"Shut the fuck up and wait like everyone else" the soul behind him said with an angry tone on its voice.

*sigh...*  'Whatever...'

The place Aeron was right now is called the judgment hall. A golden floor that shined beautifully when you looked at it, and a majestic starry sky that once in a while could show meteorites passing across it.

This place was infinitely long, and the line in which he was waiting to be judged seemed infinite too.

Aeron continued waiting for his turn for days, months maybe years until something finally happened. Two beautiful stars in the sky crashed and created an enormous explosion.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!*

Everything that was near that place was destroyed, everything except the line of souls waiting for their judgment, which were being protected by an invisible shield.

Or at least they were supposed to be protected...

*Crack*

"Huh?"

A part of the shield was destroyed and Aeron was coincidently in that place.

Luckily instead of being destroyed, Aeron was just sent flying away by the force of the explosion, probably because the partly destroyed shield absorbed most of the heat and power of the explosion.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"

Aeron screamed as he had never done before, after all, you don't usually get blown away by a big bang that happens next to you. Moments later, Aeron found himself reaching the end of the Judgement hall at an incredible speed without signs of stopping.

Outside there was...

Emptiness

The feeling that place gave him was that of certain death, so he started screaming even harder, hoping that someone could save him.

Soon the soul of Aeron left The Judgement hall and entered the void, a place where nothing exists and nothing is allowed to exist. His soul quickly found itself being destroyed and erased by the force of the void. The pain Aeron felt was nothing he felt before, even that truck felt like tickles compared to this, it was like having every cell of your body just ripped apart.

Luckily his screams for help inside the bottomless void soon reached someone. The Goddess of Order, one of the two godly beings that rule and balance this universe noticed the anomaly within the void and decided to help out of pity at the poor soul that was going to get erased in no time.

Golden hair, incredibly beautiful skin without imperfections in the slightest, and a golden armor that seemed to represent the Divinity itself, her only presence gave Aeron peace and soothed his pain.
