A/N #2: this does have a female MC but as of right now I don't plan on doing romance so yea that means for all you Yuri haters. You can Infact read this ain't that just peachy?

Chapter 1 - Land of the Forgotten.

[Dear diary:

My name was Tomoe Fushihara I lived in Japan, and had a relatively peaceful life until I wore a Nervegear. Wearing that thing was the final nail in my proverbial coffin. Unfortunately as I died I remembered everything. All of those lifetimes their were so many I thought I'd go crazy but when I remembered my crush Asuna Yuuki I held myself together until a very peculiar set of memories flooded me.

These were jarring at first as my world was apparently nothing but fiction. Worse of all I'm not even mentioned even in passing I was already an orphan. So it was my last straw but that wasn't enough I was sent to the Land of the Forgotten a perpetually black abyss of misery as souls desperately try to remember themselves only to become devoid of purpose but I refuse this notion of forgetting I will at bare minimum be remembered atleast that was my initial goal. Now?

I wanna unite every single soul under this banner. Most have lost a sense of self becoming a slight hive mind but not I won't ever forget this injustice! NEVER! So today is the day I rise like a chimera of a Phoenix, and Hydra to forever stay alive I will unite everyone because I see the discontent with out situation everyone hates it here but none are willing to attempt to leave fearful of possible retribution. I will be the leader we all desperately want. I will refuse this notion of despair erase it even if I am myself a shadow of who I once was. Even if i carry the infinite burdens i will do so. As this is my final entry if you yourself end up here simply give meyour knowledge, hopes, dreams, anything at all. So leave it all to me as I shall carry your burden, and remember it till the end of everything. This is all I have goodluck to whomever reads this, and may you find respite in my words

Written/Chiseled by: Alya Ashlesha the King of the Forgotten.]

"Alright it's time to do this." Getting up off a massive stone tablet after managing to chisel the same dairy paragraph in every language in existence onto the massive stone tablet the woman made of a murky shadow runs past most of the makeshift homes with existential dread of the inhabitants in the air as constant wails of sorrow, loss, and despair fill the landscape as far as the eye could see but as the girl Alya ran to the mountain a rainbow of every single color began forming with it starting at Alya leading to the highest peak which was about 14 feet tall.

Finally climbing up all the denizens noticed the shift so shades of all shapes, and sizes converged around said peak from Dragon's to demons all of them while miserable were curious what the small girl Alya was doing finally getting to the edge she pulled out a megaphone made of rock which causes everyone to quite down. She then began to speak.

"My fellow denizens of this accused place we have lived like this for too long we need to be remembered it's not our faults we are here as in my time in this realm misery that strips away our memories I've seen beasts with intelligence, holy men or women who should have had a preordained afterlife, mass murderers, and even more. What's the common thing beyond us all loosing our minds in sorrow, and despair I hear you ask. And the answer is simple we were all forgotten by our worlds as there isn't anything else that checks.

For example you right there the giant dragon or as you said you were called the Old one Alcait an ancient deity with many monuments when all of the sudden you were here. Isn't it odd something akin to a god is here? Something that should by all accounts be hard to forget as alot of us have something akin to historical records of religion no? Why must we suffer this way! Why do we all deserve this sentence because we were evil or good? No no matter the walk of life this is wrong you hear me wrong!

So you all who seek the sweet release of eternal sleep in this world grant me your powers, knowledge, burdens, hopes, aspirations, or anything you wish you could have but now lost the will of it I shall carry that weight which keeps you chained to this place! No more would you have to sob you would finally rest for eternity! So what do you all say to that? It's worth it no? Finally being free even the smallest chance may ever come again we must act here, and now so please lend me your power, memories, anything at all in exchange you shall turn to aether make up my new form, and never again fear the solitude of this hellscape we have called home for to long so... WHO'S WITH ME!"

The crowd which was somber now had slight hope somehow someway they believed her, and by a stroke of luck all of the nearly endless amounts of individuals sick of being in the purgatory realized the girl was right even if it failed leaving became something unwanted only now did they all desperately desire one thing.

A release, and so in accordance they agreed to the terms the girl had set all of them including Alya herself turned into a swarm of an incalculable amount of light particles the swiftly fused condensed rinse, and replaced until an egg made of a golden light was there, and then it morphed into the shape of a girl who's gaze was upward before reaching out her hand into the now blue sky making a fist while smiling.

"You may all rest easy now, and thank you for trusting me. It means alot to me. Now how let's see I guess I should train my new powers before leaving here. Alright let's begins my hellish training so I may be ready for anything at all!"

(One millennium later)

Alya can be see punching the air in a rhythm while a man wearing a traditional karate outfit simply nods. "Alright you have completed all the Martial Arts in existence, learned from master hackers, been taught everything possible besides magic we wish you well on your journey Alya, and thank you for freeing us all from our suffering call upon anyone should you need aid." Now vanishing into purple light particles which fly into the book on the ground specifically a purple Book of Vanitas which flies into Alya's chest as she breathes in she opens her eyes. "He is right it's time I begin my journey throughout space, and time."

Walking over to a platform she made her way up the stone stairs into the middle before finally extending her hand outwards causing a swirling vortex of every color, and shade to spin gulping her nervousness she strides through the portal leaving the hellscape she had known for so long behind as she did she took one last look over the horizon etching it into her very being that this is where a name that would soon be infamous across all of reality Alya Ashlesha was created. Finishing her moment she completely heads through the portal which shuts right afterwards.

Edit/AN:

I don't know where I should say this as a whole chapter doesn't seem necessary so here works. Anyway a couple of things mainly two. First, and foremost I am dropping "Reincarnated as Golden Darkness" in place all my focus will be here then number two is I have 10 whole arcs done just need to write them, and each has a minimum of 20+ chapters with 1k words. Which I'll kindly separate so no need to thank me I know I'm great!(Joke) Though in all seriousness I'll split up the arcs with the Volume feature anyway my final tidbit is I finally decided on not doing romance as you can clearly see above that ain't how I fly yet so let me cook you a good meal without the fluff ok? Anyways I'm done yapping stay beautiful my readers, and thanks for coming back to read my decent ideas.
