"Vi??u, I destroy everything I touch. How can I get rid of this power?"
Vi??u sighed, before laughing slightly.
"O Shiva, that is your role as 'The Destroyer', you must take pride in it. One day, you will be worshipped."
[Worshipped Shiva was, he would be world renowed and his fame grew to such a substantial size, another religion was founded after him. This was Shaivism]
[This didn't help this undeniable feeling, was Lord Shiva destined to destroy everyone he loved or known? It seemed like he would find out sooner or later]
...
[He had killed Rudra]
It was an accident, he swore.
Violence had occurred between the two, Rudra was exactly like Shiva, they both had violent tendencies, they thirsted, hungered even for bloodshed. Bloodshed created from their hands.
These benevolent gods had gotten into an argument, Shiva asked for a peaceful resolution to the disappoint of Rudra.
These two would battle, with Shiva taking the win in a brutal battle ontop of Mount Kailash.
He didn't want to do it, he swears he never meant it.
If he didn't, he would have definitely died.
Each blow made on Rudra made him shiver with tears, he wept quietly, if Rudra had seen him sob pitifully, it would have made him laugh.
How could the God of Destruction shed tears in battle, matter of fact in front of his opponent?
The fight was over.. but this wasn't what he wanted. He never wanted Rudra to die.
No one would believe him, no one would believe that the "destroyer" didn't wish for him to die.
This was his journey as "The Destroyer", it's expected for him to "destroy" everything in his path.
He didn't want this, he didn't want to kill people he loved.
It was here, his violent ways softened.
He vowed that he would never return to violence, if more of his friends, lovers, or companions would die at his hands. He would make sure to keep a part of Rudra along with him.

This ended up being the golden ornaments that were adorned on Rudra's head.
They would now be bestowed ontop of Lord Shiva's head, purely for him to remember the loss he had to endure to become what he is now.
[This was the destiny Lord Shiva had]
[It would be the same in every timeline. The one thing Lord Shiva had to do was persevere. Persevere even if it hurts, persevere even if he's lost, persevere even if he's dead]
[All eyes are on you]
[So, his incarnation was bound to suffer the same fate, eternal destruction before he met his untimely demise]
[Lord Shiva pitied the man he sponsored. He had the fighting spirit, he had overwhelming charisma]
[The only problem was that Myo Dae couldn't control the destructive aspects that came along with
[Shiva would not let his incarnation suffer the same fate]
**
[His eyes opened up, Myo Dae wondered how he was alive, he had clearly died right? It didn't make sense, he assumed that this was an ability from Lord Shiva as this was the only logical answer]
So noisy.
I had indeed woken up, the wound was still present, gaping even larger then I had previously remembered.
I frantically clutched onto my stomach and I realised that..
It didn't hurt anymore.
I was bewildered, surprised that such an enormous wound didn't seem sore nor excruciating to touch.
I could move freely, but it irked me more as I could see my insides.
How.. revolting.
I'd vomit at the sight but I needed to prevent it as I'd be able to see the grimy fluid ejected from my stomach out my oesophagus.
That made my body shiver at the thought.
I gripped onto the sides of the wall, escaping outside the cabin and spotted a familiar face from afar.
"My—Myo-nim?"
I heard a voice cry out.
Her face was riddled with tears, she sprinted towards me.
Her arms surrounded me and I flung back onto the ground, coughing and quivering non-stop.
"You're alive—Wait. How are you alive?"
She said, her face scrunched up slightly.
I don't know, I wished I did.. my best guess was that I was revived by Lord Shiva's ability.
"I—I'm not sure."
I firmly said, looking down at my large wound.
Wait—? It was gone.
My stomach had fully recovered, when did the flesh, vital organs, even bone form together? How did it happen without my knowledge?
I couldn't dawn on it for too long.
Objective:
Each Team Captain will have a bounty that will periodically reveal their location.
Top three teams with the highest headband count will have a chance to obtain:
Time Limit: 5 days
Reward: 1325 coins
Just my luck. When I was momentarily dead, a day had passed.
A headband emerged ontop of my head, and had helped wipe the sweat that accumulated on my forehead.
Oh, right. I never stopped the ability.
Is it possible for you to remove the trident for now?
I nodded, knowing the consequence if I did do this.
My mind felt wrong, it continued to swirl and scrunch. I gripped onto Yu Haeun's shoulder for strength.
"Are you okay?"
She asked, concerned for my health considering I looked very pale.
[Myo Dae would have to struggle with the withdrawals of rebirthing, especially since the deity's connection was severed momentarily. I'll be fine, Myo Dae thought, more as to convince himself then anything else]
Way to expose me narrator.
<1 hour before the location of all team captains are revealed>
"We should find somewhere to hide or find more supplies, we'll go once you're alright."
She nodded, analysing our surroundings.
"I'm fine now, let's travel."
[Yu Haeun hesitated slightly, possibly contemplating whether or not to call out Myo Dae's bluff. In the end, she decided to keep her conflicting thoughts to herself]
She's really perceptive, it's almost scary, terrifying.
Completing this main quest wouldn't be hard, considering fighting isn't needed. This quest is based purely on speed and sneaking up on unsuspecting users to steal their headband.
But, I have to look out for Min Seo. The one without morals and would eliminate each opponent in the path he carved for himself. The man that was powerful enough to kill me in one blow, he feels like a force to be reckoned with.
The next time I see him, I'll make sure to show him a piece of my mind. I won't be that weak guy you first met.
[Myo Dae was determined to meet Min Seo again and perhaps he would, but it would be a while until they next meet]
[Myo Dae began to feel annoyed at the narration, why were they so noisy? Why wouldn't they shut up? The narrator told Myo Dae that he should stop worrying and actually focus on reality]
This is so annoying, why am I being dissed by the narrator?!
