Rebirth of a Dungeon Master

Yuki sat at her computer, completely engrossed in the world of Dungeon Keeper Gold Edition. Her fingers moved deftly over the keyboard as she commanded her minions to dig tunnels, set traps, and defend against invading heroes.

As the dark overlord of her own virtual dungeon, Yuki relished the opportunity to try diffrent strategies and maybe even adopt some of the ideas that came about from this game to the dungeon itself. Although that would have to be with Nekra, the loveable cat girl technically was her master… As Yuki continued to play Dungeon Keeper, she sensed a subtle shift in the atmosphere of the room. At first, she brushed it off as a trick then she felt her connection cut, followed by a connection to a being much stronger.

“Nerka?” Yuki asks aloud her voice cracking at feeling the bond break.
==============================================================

Rimuru and Safi exchanged a puzzled glance as a strange sensation washed over them, causing them to pause mid-conversation with Rimaris, the fairy. It was as if the very fabric of reality had shifted, leaving them all feeling disoriented and uncertain.

Rimuru furrowed his brow, his keen senses picking up on the subtle change in the atmosphere. "Did you feel that?" he asked, turning to Safi and Rimaris.

Safi nodded, her expression mirroring Rimuru's confusion. "Yeah, something feels... off," she replied, her voice tinged with unease.

Rimaris, the fairy, fluttered her wings nervously, her delicate features etched with concern. "I sensed it too," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. "It's like... a disturbance in the natural order of things."
=============================================
Nekra stood amidst a sea of flames and blood, her form illuminated by the inferno that raged around her. The last city had been decimated, its once bustling streets now reduced to smoldering ruins.

As the acrid scent of smoke filled the air, Nekra's heart weighed heavy with the weight of her actions. She had unleashed destruction upon the world, leaving nothing but devastation in her wake.

Yet, amidst the chaos and destruction, there was this pulling feeling she truthfully had not clue what it was however, she felt the urge to answer it.

“How many people have I killed again?” Nekra asks with a head tilt blood dripping from her black cloak.

That was when the world shifted. As reality itself seemed to tear at the sense and her sense of sight twisted.

Kyra adjusted the straps of her blue vault suit as she spoke, a hint of amusement dancing in her eyes. "I guess you could just summon us all then," she remarked casually.

Sandstorm raised an eyebrow at Kyra's attire. "You still wear that?" he asked incredulously.

Kyra shrugged nonchalantly. "I sleep in it," she replied with a smirk.

Yuna, the bear girl, let out a worried growl. "Why am I here? I was in the middle of a behemoth hunt! My team could be in danger!" she exclaimed, her concern evident in her voice.

Lisa, the calm and composed one of the group, stepped forward to reassure Yuna. "It's fine. Time is paused in your worlds while we are here," she explained calmly.

Harriet, with her striking red-black hair and piercing green eyes, chimed in with a sigh. "That's good. I was at lunch with Luna," she added, her tone laced with relief.

The girl holding a sword, radiating with magical power, spoke up next. "So what are we here for?" she asked, her gaze sharp and focused.

Sandstorm grinned, his eyes glinting with mischief. "To welcome the new members of the pantheon, of course," he declared proudly.

Harriet let out a groan, clearly unimpressed with the idea. "Can I please just go back to practicing control? I would rather not accidentally break something again," she pleaded, her frustration evident in her voice.

Amidst the chatter, Nekra spoke up timidly, her voice barely above a whisper. "Nya... Hi?" she said, she knew who a majority of these figures were… An in truth she might consider them friendly but they terrified her, why was she here?

The group fell into a momentary silence as they processed the unexpected turn of events. Lisa was the first to break the silence, her calm demeanor contrasting with the confusion in the room.

"She achieved godhood really quickly," she remarked, her tone tinged with surprise.

Sandstorm and the others exchanged puzzled glances, unsure of how Nekra had ascended to godhood so rapidly. "Uh, how?" Sandstorm asked, her brow furrowed in confusion.

Nekra remained quiet, her thoughts swirling with uncertainty. 'A goddess of fate? Confused, that's new,' she mused to herself.

"Nya? I was working on the dungeon, nya. I don't know," Nekra finally replied, her voice hesitant as she blatantly lied to them after all mass murder tended to be frowned upon.

Shirone, her silver wolf ears twitching in curiosity, spoke up next. "So, what was the reason for this meeting? I was in the middle of making a weapon," she said, her tone curious.

Sandstorm, a girl with golden eyes, cleared her throat, feeling slightly embarrassed at the lack of a better explanation. "It was to introduce Harriet to everyone, the new goddess of death," she explained, her cheeks flushing slightly.

Kyra raised an eyebrow, clearly not satisfied with the answer. "Was that the only reason?" she pressed, her gaze lingering on Nekra.

Sandstorm hesitated, struggling to come up with a better excuse. "Right!" she exclaimed suddenly, her golden eyes glowing with determination. "She's actually extremely close to godhood," she admitted, pointing directly at Nekra.

The group murmured amongst themselves, intrigued by Nekra's sudden ascension. "What's her divinity going to be?" Yuna asked, her curiosity piqued.

Nekra took a moment to channel her newfound power, tapping into the depths of her knowledge. "Knowledge, nya," she finally answered, her voice tinged with uncertainty.

Kyra let out a low whistle, impressed by Nekra's choice. "I think we gave her a broken skill, but eh, that's fine," she remarked casually.

Sandstorm chuckled, remembering Kyra's own unconventional divinity. "Coming from the person I gave the dream divinity to," she teased.

Kyra shrugged, unfazed by the comment. "Yeah, but even without that, I would've become a broken character," she replied with a grin.

Sandstorm's expression turned serious as she turned to Kyra. "Yeah, that AUM energy... Do you have any clue what you created there?" she asked, her tone tinged with curiosity.

Before Kyra could respond, Nekra's vision was suddenly consumed by a sense of urgency as she felt her beloved Yuki pull at her bond causing said thing to snap somewhere in the void between the Cardinal world and wherever this patch of void was.

“I have to go.” Nekra states quickly eyes wide open as she was suddenly back in the Great Jura forest.
