The walls of the citadel were of crumbling stone. The floors of the building were grungy tile, in the distance one could see through the window several other buildings surrounded by those stone walls and ramparts. Further, smoke, flames and a seemingly endless sea of crawling, shambling corpses.

This... this single citadel was the last bastion of civilization.

An exhausted group of people of various species, creatures that may or may not have been animals of some sort, metal creations and beast-men entered the citadel, with the clearly shellshocked humans they had rescued from the shambling corpses. They were outnumbered almost a thousand to one.

A group of people and creatures now approached to check on the rescued humans, and give them medical assistance.

Soon a multitude of humans and sixty beings of very different species were seated on the grungy floor of what any westerner would have recognized as a high school building.

In a makeshift kitchen that used to be the home economics room, a pig, a duck and a chicken were all roasting on a spit, rice was in the bowls and soup was being cooked in a massive metal drum, among other foods.

In the corridor, a hero clad in red and blue with a crimson cape and golden sigil on his well muscled chest, was with what was very clearly a black and red clad demonic cultivator with glowing golden eyes, two very visibly righteous cultivators clad in brown and beige, a floating green serpent wearing a raggedy black hat and cape, a handlebar mustache, a glass monocle and a floating pink cat with an incredibly long tail, all very obviously drunk, if the many bottles in front of them were any indication.

Shizun.. because that was definitely Shizun's gentle gaze in the startlingly beautiful, purple-haired, almost-silvery-blue skinned female healer's sapphire eyes... patted the hero's back.

The hero in crimson had obviously been weeping, as he confided that his girl had dumped him.

"She doesn't deserve you, Kal." Shizun told him gently. "There are millions of other fish in the ocean, and plenty of people who will love you for who you are. People who will know what you are worth. People who will be right for you."

The hero hiccuped. "But....But what if there isn't anyone else right for me?"

"Kal," Shizun told him,"...That is impossible. There will be someone meant for you out there. You may not meet them this day, but you'll definitely find someone to love later on. Someone better than that girl."

"T-Thanks, 'Ji', I needed to hear that." The hero scrubbed his face.

"No problem." Ji scruffed his hair.

"Thanks for the booze too." The hero sniffed, "I needed that."

"Everyone was in need of the booze, we're up to kick zombie ass again tomorrow." Ji grinned. "Since we're having a sleepover, who's up for Karaoke?"

It turned out a lot of people were up for 'karaoke'. And Karaoke was apparently a sing along.

The hero in crimson was soon singing at the top of his lungs, with his compatriots joining in at various points of the song, "My mama don't like you and she likes everyone.

I just held out, 'cause I hate t'admit when I was wrong~

I just got caught up in my job, didn't see what's goin on, and now, I know...

I'm better sleepin on my own~!"

And everyone was belting out the chorus, from the small pink cat to the massive metal warrior, "AND IF YOU LIKE. THE WAY. YA LOOK THAT MUCH. THEN HONEY, YOU SHOULD GO AND LOVE YOURSELF! AND IF YOU THINK. THAT I'M STILL HOLDING ON TO SOMETHING, YOU SHOULD GO AND LOVE YOURSELF!"

One of the factors that was apparently universal was Shizun's affinity for plants. Another was his tendency to build. Fortifications, facilities, farms.. Shizun's inherent inclination was to create and provide.

In the past life with the shambling corpses that threatened humanity, Shizun had quickly set up gardens and fishponds, livestock habitats to grow food, medicinal plants and fungi, spices and everything else necessary to keep the human settlement going with a select group including a dark haired, pale skinned lady by the name of 'Hecate', a young man with brown hair and a crimson cloak by the name of 'Midgard', a black skinned, golden eyed, white haired female called 'Auk', the serpent with the mustache who called himself 'Umbrae', a slim androgynous boy? named 'Trap', a reptilian being named 'Cyrus' and a bald fellow with pointed ears and extensive tattoos named 'Cyan'.

She had rescued people side by side with the bandage wrapped, wizened, emaciated and gold-clad sepulchral voiced being that called himself 'Necron', who wielded an eldritch staff and curved blade, the beautiful, seductive demon by the name of 'Ophidian' and the hero 'Kal'.

She was the healer. They were the heavy hitters. She healed them and patched up the rescued people, they watched her back and kept her from getting murdered by the shamblers.

It was very obvious that 'Necron', 'Hecate', 'Cyrus', 'Auk' and 'Trap' were the people Shizun trusted and worked with the most, and it was equally obvious that 'Trap' was rather quickly smitten with a lean albino young man with glowing golden eyes by the name of 'All-Seer'. The two had started out with a discussion of some obscure thing called 'comics' and were soon as thick as thieves together.

In the next life, a world full of greenery with isolated groups of humans where their group of sixty was once again finding themselves together, Shizun's new body had pointed ears, eyes the green of spring leaves, hair the golden red of fire and a very very curvaceous frame that would put the reknowned Yang Gueifei to shame.

In this world, some of them were stranded with that life's families; others were orphaned. There must have been thousands of people of different species, and not all of them had homes.

It was clearly a wilderness out there, with horned, spiked, feathered reptiles aplenty and massive beasts to boot. Once the others woke up and had a good look around, leaders rose up among the group and they quickly agreed the best idea was colonization. Shizun quickly took charge of working with the massive knight 'LordofFire', the shrewd redhaired 'Jackinati', and the now golden haired and pale skinned, very tall and most importantly very MALE 'Auk', quickly setting up facilities for food supplies, farms, fishponds, parks, orchards and the like as well as building more residences.

'Hecate' who was now a maiden of metal, the unnaturally pale, black clad, darkhaired 'Sideways' and 'All-Seer' who was currently a slim, lithe felinoid currently quickly took charge of setting up the medical wards and hospital, while the now female blue-haired and blue eyed 'Midgard', the short, wide shouldered, heavily muscled and solidly built, red bearded 'Necron', the unnaturally thin masked man known as 'Gideon' and the now white haired, golden eyed and startlingly female 'Cyan' all worked together on scouting their surroundings, setting up defenses and industrial facilities, assembling weapons and fortifications.

In this life, the speed with which 'Trap' and 'All-Seer' quickly moved in together and started cohabiting was startling to any viewer, while Shizun quickly offered lodgings and supplies to 'Kal', 'Necron', 'Auk' and 'Cyrus' with the words, "My home is your home."

Shizun was one of the 'maids of honor' at 'Trap' and 'All-Seer's first wedding. 'Necron', wearing a strange white and gold hat, officiated the ceremony.

The third life had both Shizun and 'Hecate' as male. To be precise, massive, heroically built, male generals of massive armies, whose armors were brightly color coded, whose faces held the noble beauty one saw in the statues of the gods.

'Necron' was also male, equally spectacular and wore a monocle with a well cared for mustache.

....'Necron' and Shizun made a lot of dramatic entrances, barging in to conquer various countries in pitched battles and outflanking enemy armies while both wearing copies of the strange white and gold hat that 'Necron' had officiated the wedding in, during their past life.

"NOBODY EXPECTS THE INQUISITION! Our chief weapons are fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency and a fanatical devotion to the Emperor!"

....In the background, one could generally see their 'brothers' and the Emperor they served covering their faces with their hands.

 

Ahahah~ These silly guys~

WAIT
WHAT PRONOUNCE DO THEY PREFER TO BE CALLED WITH???? I AM CONFUSED!!!

 

Ah, pronouns, our one true nemesis!

 

This is very satisfying! I've always want the people to know of G's past lives.
Behold G's beautiful past selves!
See that Elf? Prettier than you!
See that Gentleman? Better looking than you.
Be jealous, people!

I want more of G being fanatical and the brothers being exasperate. That is so funny

 

PFFFT.

Spoiler

G AND NECRON WERE BEST BROS.

 

Also, I will be perfectly frank.

The only time anyone in the West is hit with the ugly stick/ nonhuman stick is when they WANT to be.

As a result, everyone in human/elven etc form that I mentioned?

ALL. PRETTIER. THAN. THE. VIEWERS.

I mean, some of them are like superhero-sexy, or like, heroic statue of the gods sexy or like, skinny supermodel Warhammer Eldar sexy or DnD lithe elves sexy or incredibly stunning Tolkien elf sexy gorgeous.

But yeah. They are all pretty.

 

Ofc. Who would want ugly avatars? Especially when they can customize them to their heart contents. It's a privilege the people in the current world can't have.

 

go! broship!

 

Exactly. Imagine how much the Imperial family and the nobles and fellow cultivators or natives or whatever are chewing on their own livers in envy right now.

 

I want to see their reaction!
To beautiful G.
And OP G.

Even during the first life, Shizun had been immediately recognizable to those who knew him. His students, for one. Yue Qingyuan for another. The moment he smiled, he was immediately known, even though his past lives, the first two seen, had been female.

As a woman, Shizun walked like she knew her own worth, she didn't take mincing delicate steps nor did she express shyness. As a woman, Shizun walked with the grace and innate pride of noble blood, to be precise... she walked with the kind of sway that riveted male gazes to her form, back straight, chin up.

By the third life it had become brutally obvious that no matter how strangely short, or startlingly tall, these people... Shizun's people... were all startlingly beautiful, each in their own way.

Well, those of them who looked human. Even the nonhumans had an alien fascination about them, an elegance that was in even the most strange being. Even the small rat-beastkin form had an odd grace and elegance in its shape and movement.

They were literally living works of art.

By the third life, it had also become startlingly obvious that these were recurring people. Not merely recurring... Reincarnating. Consistently. Reincarnating. While their bodies were always different, some things, mannerisms, expressions were constant.

A hundred people kept reincarnating in relatively close proximity to each other, often meeting up in predictable groups... though the full number of reincarnators was unknown.

By the fourth life it was obvious that most often Shizun could be seen with the same nineteen 'brothers' and 'sisters' over and over.

Shizun of course, was always heartbreakingly beautiful, and unlike some of his kin, he consistently was 'human' in shape.

'LordofFire', 'SnakeGod', 'Stormy' and several others had also been reincarnated as general-brothers in service to the same Emperor in this lifetime. In truth, since the numbers of reincarnators varied, in the third life, there were only twenty one of the normal larger group of sixty reincarnators represented.

***
In one of the few lives that all the reincarnators could be found together, Shizun had been an elven princess who had led her people through an icy wasteland, to get to a promised land on the other side, one of the elven tribe's royal family's many members.

'Trap' had also been a princess, and Shizun's aunt. 'Cyan' had been one of that family's princes, a cousin of theirs, 'Artemis' had been a female elemental who had helped them across. 'Auk' had been a forest elf weaponsmaster.

'All Seer' had been an elemental who had helped them settle into the promised land, 'AlPharazir' had been a human mariner king whose people sought alliance with the elven tribe,

Becerril had been a human married to a forest elf, Kender and a Hobbit respectively, negotiating alliances between their tribes and the newcomers, and 'Necron' had been a dwarf king of an established kingdom, who had negotiated an alliance between his kingdom and Shizun's.

AncientFox had been an elemental who had married a human wife and an elven wife from the mariner's tribe and Shizun's own people, throwing his lot in with them without a qualm.

Umbrae, Biles, Stalker and Masaki had been from different human forest tribes, and had been exceptional hunters.

Silvan had been a forest elf tribal noble. Portal, Skippy, TygerClaw and Amphibia had been, as could be expected, human mariners. Mat had been a human shipbuilder.

Squiddy had been a human mariner.
Blue had been a human forester.
Meister, Kami, ChrysClerk, Kimi, BrokenBow had been forest elf archers.

Cyrus, Ophidian, and ElderSoul had been human nobles from an established nation.

Mad had been a human merchant, FSBirman had been a human archer. Seraph and Waltz had been female human nobles. Gideon had been a captain of the guard. Gandhi had been an artificer. Omnis and Gryphon had been knights. Prophet and Lythal had both been artificers. Sum had been a human mariner and captain of a sailing vessel.

Windy, Walker, ArcaneBandit, Wardragon, CrazyKitsune, Lert, Lyar, Diploduck, Kade and Delta had been mercenaries. Sandman, Marquis, Facehugger, Shapeshifter, Roboninja, Hectonkyres, Ryuujin, Samarqand and Gladius had all been human commanders, each with troops.

Khuzdul, KnightWings, Auberon, BluePen and LycoDrakensis had been dwarf lords of great reknown.

Bloody, Lana, Anemone had all been noble human ladies. LazyCat had been a human merchant.

Professor, SV, Author and KingofBooks had been scholars of note. Jacob, Fellblade had both been weaponsmasters. Sideways had been an elemental. ObscureBennu and ArgentKnight had both been trackers. LDrych, Lurk, Talon, WelcomingStorms, Mizuki, Weta, Marca and Velsp had been shapeshifters.

Dakka, Thas, Mecha, Dawn, Blackstone, Dimension, StygianAperture, DivineDaevan had all been guardsmen. Scrivener, Biles, AureateLark, Emerald, PervertSage, OcularSage, GibbousLuna and Academic had been famed teachers. KalEl, and Kerosene had been knights. Tyrant, ImperialPeace, Kov had been paladins. Psycho, Mew, Whee,Chas,Dei had been hunters and beastkin, Myrrdin, Cruiser, Compiler and Crowbar had been kender artificers.

The Jade twins, Dusk and Ghost had been human cavaliers, Fitzgerald and FerrousForge had been smiths, Scryer had been a human forester, Stormy had been a paladin and Hecate had been a female elemental.

Marius, Tyrant and Charon had been human nobles from a merchant city. Tanuki, Rabi, Drakon and Phoenix had been forest elf archers. Rifter had been an elven pirate.

Midgard had been a human tribal leader, and female to boot. What had been a female elemental.

Rekt,Lance,Jackinati and BlueEagle had been human knights of a third human nation. LordofFire, LastPrimarch, SnakeGod, SoloFury, AngelKnight and BestPaladin had been paladins serving under a different deity.

These people were quickly mired in what would be known as the Wars of Wrath, their respective groups and nations fighting side by side as an alliance of 'goodly races' against monstrous beings called 'uruks', 'balrogs', 'dragons', 'werebeasts'... among other things.

***
During the life wherein Shizun was an elven princess and eventually Queen, she had set up an alliance with Necron's Dwarven nation.

They fought side by side for LITERALLY CENTURIES. It wasn't unusual to hear Necron's people's voices raised in their customary battlecries of "BARUK KHAZAD. KHAZAD AI-MENU!", followed by the calls of elven archers who were firing into the ranks of their enemies.

It was in fact a great shock to Shang Bo, who had learned the use of axes of all kinds, to learn that the axe techniques he was using...were 'Necron's.

While those of Heiying's polearm techniques that had come from Shizun instead of his family were also the same polearm techniques used by the elves of that past life.

When they were in their final battle, when he was old and grey and she was still young and vibrant as the elves were...he said, "You know, you could take your people home. You've got millions of years ahead of you. You don't have to stay."

Shizun's answer was "Fuck that, I'm not leaving you."

"I'm old and I'm going to die anyway, I'm a crotchety old bastard at the end of my lifespan... but you don't have to. You'll regret it if you stay."

"Bro." Shizun had smiled at him, warm and amused. "Bro, I regret NOTHING."

They both died at the hands of flame demons called balrogs and their corpses were retrieved by their heirs who buried them together and built a massive paired statue of them. Together. Standing as they used to, with Necron's shield raised, his axe on its downward swing and Shizun's spear stabbing forward.

Because of reasons.

During the fifth life, it became glaringly obvious that Becerril always, invariably found and married his three beloveds. AncientFox always, unerringly married his two spouses.

These had quickly become ludicrously obvious- where one arrived, they would often wait for the others and the moment their spouses arrived, were found as reincarnations, they got married.

After Trap had married AlPharazir and AllSeer the first time, they fell into the same pattern. Where one was, the other two would also be.

InsaneGod, Prophet, What and Silvan were also practically inseperable, often going in as a four-person raid group.

Shizun was most often around Auk, Artemis, Sum, LordofFire, Rekt, Cyrus, Cyan, Necron, Hecate, Ophidian, All Seer, AlPharazir, Trap, Stormy, Midgard and KalEl, though his actual six-person raid group always had 'Auk', 'Midgard', 'Cyrus', 'Necron' and 'Stormy'.

Stormy and KalEl were clearly the 'younger brothers' of the group. Midgard was the one most often caught facepalming in the background while the others were pulling shenanigans.

Where Trap went, AllSeer and AlPharazir would immediately follow, so even though they were in the larger raid group, they often worked as an autonomous unit.

Shen Qingqiu had once told Yue Qingyuan that the most stable marriages he had ever seen had been in threes. He had mentioned that three of his raid group members had married each other. He had also looked confused and frustrated when he had been told about dao partners, and the strictures about dual cultivating, because to Qingqiu, they had made no sense. At all.

Yue Qingyuan had thought Qingqiu had been taken advantage of, because of that and certain other statements that had confused him. He had thought Shen Qingqiu had been propositioned... among other things, because Qingqiu had a clear delineation. Sex was sex, love was love, marriage was marriage and energy sharing was energy sharing. The fact was, sharing energy in any activity whatsoever was... just energy sharing to Qingqiu. It wasn't 'special', apparently, from what Yue Qingyuan had gathered.

Well, now he was getting an eyeful and it was becoming startlingly clear why Qingqiu didn't put importance on dual cultivation strictures or energy sharing strictures.

Qingqiu had told the truth. His people married in groups. More to the point, these people made clear delineations. Sharing energy was, to Yue Qingyuan's shock, something that people in Qingqiu's past lives did with their friends, family, children and spouses.

Sex was apparently something done for enjoyment as well, not as a binding thing.

FRIENDS of any gender or species had sex with no strings attached, if what some of these people got up to was an indication.

Marriage on the other hand...There were two kinds of 'marriages'. One was a stipulated-time-limit political and economic contract, and the other was a multiple lifetime, permanent bond.

People were very clear about what kind of marriage they were entering. A timelimited economic or political marriage lasted only the specified, written amount of time on the contract, though such things could be renewed and recontracted if such things were wanted, with the assistance of a judge.

The other, rarer but highly sought after kind, the permanent marriages, spanned not merely one lifetime but multiple lifetimes. It was actually apparently normal for one member of a triad or quartet to wait for the others to reincarnate and then no matter what gender or species, they... just got re-married. Again. Right there.

The kind of loyalty that it would take for such a thing, the ability to immediately recognize one's spouse, was mindboggling.

Qingqiu, by his own admission, had plenty of children, and those children began showing up around the seventh lifetime...but no known permanent spouse, nor lover ever showed up in the Pavilion. It was utterly baffling.

If anything, it was even more confusing that so many of Qingqiu's children had gotten married, but Qingqiu himself had not, to the point that Qingqiu's friends had taken to offering him concubines in various lifetimes specifically because they were worried that he would be alone, while the rest of them had paired or grouped up.

People in raid groups and raid parties had specific roles. There were the tanks who were living shields and heavy hitters. There were rangers, scouts and thieves who handled traps, collected loot and scouted.

There were Healers and Spellcasters, the former being what kept his fellows alive when they were injured, damaged or poisoned and the latter being the equivalent of glass cannons, with powerful spells but requiring the tanks, rangers, scouts and thieves to keep them alive between spells. There were long range combatants like, say, archers who counted as long range artillery along with the spellcasters. And there were close up fighters who worked with tanks to keep their long range projectile users, their healers and spellcasters from being killed.

It wasn't unusual for party members or raid group members to marry each other in groups, no less.

After all, your party member was often the person you entrusted your life to.

 

Yue, open your eyes and broaden your horizon. It's time for you to take another partner because G thinks it's justice. And Liu Qingge has been waiting in the sidelines for so long (BTW is Liu watching? I can imagine him green with envy)

Also--

Yue: Why don't you have a permanent lover in your past lives?
G: Because there's no you in them /gropes

 

Actually, all G's kids were genetically manipulated.

That is to say, G created them with biokinesis, cloning and other such methods. :V They don't really HAVE fathers.

 

Gav when will you update multiverse 1, I love and miss miss modern au settings, sorry not a huge fan of transdimensional G but sakhyu cute version of shen is adorable and definitely fantasy material. thankxx for the hard work
