How to become a god.
First thing you've got to know is that you've got it all wrong.
Take everything you think you know about theology and throw it away.
when you're ready
keep listening
it was a cold night
colder than usual for the city
at least
the moon shone above us lighting our path
we didn't need to know our destination
the place may as well have been programmed
into our minds
the only place open on the far end of town
overlooking a placid ocean that
stretched for who knows how long
drew us like a flame
the building
decrepit and decayed as a
was, let loose a soft light from its one window.
A single word, its paint chipped away, stretched over the plate glass.
At one point it read Jerry's, but now it was more like eekneys.
The condition of the place belied its popularity.
Unless he knew of it, he'd overlook it, or write it off as a drug den.
Drugs are just one of the many things it offered, but only to a close crowd and handpicked customers.
Everyone else knew it as a coffee house that stayed open despite its lack of business.
Many suspected that it was a front for something more sinister, or that it was simply being funded from the owner's pocket alone.
If they only knew, they'd wish that the explanation was that simple.
Still, the thoughts of the general populace aren't why you're listening to this, is it?
You're listening to this?
Because you're insane.
Sorry. I just kind of slipped out.
What I meant was, you're listening to this because you're seeking, like many others, deification.
I have to warn you.
You're traveling a well-worn but nonetheless dangerous path.
If you want to continue, fine.
Just don't blame me.
You're going to need a full bottle of alcohol, preferably whiskey, though the brand doesn't matter.
a knife, a mix of destroying angel, hell-bore, and belladonna.
All of these things must be got at the same place.
This is a place you'll be performing a ritual,
so be sure that it's lonely, or you risk being caught.
I know what you're thinking.
How the hell am I going to get a bottle of whiskey and knife
and some rare herbs all in the same place?
All I can say is, there's a way.
manipulate a friend into buying these things and give them to you at the ordained spot.
Find the rare herb, knife alcohol store. I don't know.
I just know how it must be done.
When you've done this, wait for a night when the stars sparkle like the shards of a shattered mirror.
If it's the right time, you should smell incense faintly on the wind.
As soon as you arrive, the skies will darken to a royal purple and the grasses, even if not present before.
will blacken. The slightest touch will make them crumble, so it's easy to know where you've
been before. Look to the horizon and you'll see white pillars jutting up into the sky. Walk towards
them. You'll want to take the most direct path possible. Trust me on this. It's my only
gift to you. Approaching them you'll find a woman chained to the bottom of a deep well,
deeper than you could possibly hold your breath.
She doesn't struggle, doesn't scream,
simply stares up at you with persistent want.
Don't meet her gaze,
or you'll find yourself walking towards the well,
whether you want to or not.
You'll jump in and eventually drown trying to save her.
Keep walking towards the pillars to find a series of raised platforms,
forming a staircase to the highest one.
As you walk up them,
You'll hear and see the most terrible things.
People being slowly flayed to the bone.
Infants being raped.
People screaming for help.
For mercy.
Ignore them.
They are but memories now.
You cannot save them.
As you step onto the final platform, it will collapse out beneath you.
Still got the alcohol from before?
You're going to need it if luck's not in your favor.
As you plummet to your death, you'll hear one of two things.
A powerful voice stating that it's not your time to die,
are the same voice reciting a long list of everything you've ever done that would condemn you.
If you hear the former congratulations, you're in the clear.
Skip the following message and carry on.
If you hear the latter,
well, then you'd better hope death's thirsty.
If he is, you can trade.
the bottle of alcohol for one more year.
It will be easily the most uneventful year you'll ever have,
because your unplanned for extension cannot be allowed to have effects on the lives of others,
lest it attract the notice of the arch-gods,
who are very destroy it all and start again happy.
Still, this kind of thing happens when you make people serve thousand-year-long shifts.
Just saying, if any of them are.
listening to this.
If all goes properly, you'll find yourself in a vast expanse of void.
Stay perfectly still and watch the ground for flashing squares.
These are markers for the most forgetful deities, so they can avoid a death by matter
compression.
That's right.
You're in the heart of a black hole.
Technically, you're smaller than even the lowliest bit of some atomic material,
but that's got no bearing on things.
Remember the coffee house from before?
That's your end goal.
As you walk forward through the wormhole, keep it in your mind.
Feel the cool breeze on your face.
Smell the crisp, salty air.
Hear the plucking of a nostalgic melody drift idly through the night.
Go towards the light and open the door.
If you did it correct, you'll see a very empty coffee house.
Tables are scattered throughout the room, all in states of bed.
disuse. Some chairs are tipped over, the food on the table waiting patiently for an owner who will
never return. Choose one of them and sit down. Eventually, the piano man will notice you and come over.
You'll ask you about why you're here so late at night. The smell of stale coffee and cigarette smoke
will lace his every breath, but make no notice nor mention of this. Else, you'll be found the
next morning, reeking of bourbon and coffee, your vocal cords will be messily removed from your throat,
usually severing the jugular, and be discovered in your rectum. If you give him a decent answer,
he'll suddenly lean close to you and inhale deeply. Don't ask him what he's doing,
just hold up your packet of herbs. He'll snatch it away, a greedy gleam in his eyes,
and point his grubby thumb towards the back.
Walk back there and you'll find the door to the cellar, conveniently hidden behind the register counter.
Pull it open to find a beautiful man or woman shackled to one of the tiny room's walls.
As soon as you go down, the door will slam shut behind you.
You'll hear the sound of a lock clicking into place.
The person before you is a god or goddess that's fallen from grace.
If you wish to become a deity, you must find a way to kill them.
and steal their soul.
To this with much quickness.
Chained or not, you're facing a deity.
If you aren't destroyed in the first couple seconds,
you'll eventually start to death.
You'd give anything to be powerful.
Wouldn't you?
