God was waiting for us to come help him in the cosmic battle, he sent many prophets to tell us he needed us, but we did not go to help, and now it is too late

They knew about Angra Mainyu arrival despite him moving at the speed of light. As Douglas Adams said: "Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws."
Uhmmmm... well... you see... Angelic technology let's you detect divine beings through the astral plane using second order causality
you bastard i was so invested how could you just end it like that (jokes aside that was really well done and i would buy a book series based off of this)
Okay, that was both melancholy and beautiful. Well done
Dude I never really listen or watch youtube videos, but this one had me captivated the entire time.
Duuuuuude this is some of the best sci-fi I’ve heard in a long time 🤣🤣🤣
Would love to see this further fleshed out
I love worldbuilding, philosophy and ancient ideas, so happy I stumbled onto your channel
Will be sending some stories shortly, thanks again for the inspiration, kinda needed it today
Honestly bad ass world building. Sick ass story. Would love to see a story/game about this in the future
This is good.
I enjoy when sci-fi departs from Europe-centrism and explores other cultures, ancient or modern, as the basis of the world.
Not to mention that the story itself is good regardless.
This is an amazing history! The idea of God being a mortal in constant evolution has always fascinated me. Thanks for your impecable narration
In the long version of the story there is a section where a couple of the pilots are discussing was Ahura Mazda actually was. One of them argues that he wasn't God, nor a god, because he died, didn't know everything, wasn't all powerful, and so on. Then another pilot argues that whatever Ahura Mazda there's no doubt he created life, and was more powerful than humanity can ever hope to be, thus the term "god" could apply. Finally they ask the angels what Ahura Mazda and Angra Mainyu are, and the angels explain that they are not sure, Ahura Mazda never told them. The only thing they know is that at some point there were many more like them, then there were just two, and now there's only one, of whatever they are
This story has a bit of an Evangelion vibe. Especially the neo-angelic super beings that need to be piloted by humans.
Story Time: When I was in highschool a classmate told me about Evangelion and he described the plot of the entire show to me, but he did so very poorly
I imagined the few remaining humans living in a tiny fortress perpetually being attacked by angels, and I thought that was cool as fuck
When I finally watched Evangelion it was quite different from what I had imagined, but I still liked it a lot
Then one day I was thinking about Zoroastrianism and their belief that Ahura Mazda will defeat Angra Mainyu, but then I thought "what if he doesn't?, what if he looses?, weren't we supposed to help God in this cosmic battle?"
That idea merged with my first impression of Evangelion and developed into this
NOOOO I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!!!
Great story! I think you should flesh this world and story out :)
Here's the short version:
First we meet the main characters, pilots, government workers, scientists, technicians, stuff like that. We are presented with the world which is pretty much what I said in the video, except there's also a secret cult that worships Angra Mainyu
After a few battles with the demons the audience is getting used to the rythm of things, but that's when Angra Mainyu is detected through the Astral Plane, there's one year of time before it arrives
During this year a ton of stuff happens and most of the characters die. The most elite pilots who had a chance of beating Ahura Mazda are killed when their forstress is destroyed, most of the technicians and scientists are killed, so there's no hope to develop a secret weapon, what remained of the government collapses
The remaining characters are not part of anything now, they are just people who happen to have a few artificial demigods they can pilot
They don't even know if there are other humans alive, since all the fortresses were attacked and they lost communication
The day before Angra Mainyu arrives the remaining characters dream about it, and they talk to it, and Angra Mainyu explains that humans cannot understand the goals and motivations of beings such as it and Ahura Mazda. We think Ahura Mazda was good because he gave us life, but his purpose wasn't to give us life, and Angra Mainyu doesn't want to kill us, both are just means to goals we cannot understand, but Angra Mainyu insists that if we could understand we would be on his side, and pleads us to trust him, that it will all turn out okay after it destroys all life
Finally Angra Mainyu arrives, the pilots fight valiantly against it, but they are basically fighting a shadow, a projection of the being into the physical plane, and every second more of it is projected, making it stronger
As the fight goes on all the remaining characters are killed or maimed, and it becomes increasingly clear no one else survived in the other fortresses, they are all that remains
The remaining characters decide to give up, and Angra Mainyu starts killing them in a peaceful manner, they don't suffer, but when there's only one left he or she still fights back, but this is not to protect anyone, because no one is left, this is not to survive because they are wounded and will die soon anyway, this is not to defeat Angra Mainyu because it cannot be defeated anymore
Angra Mainyu is perplexed by this, and considers that with Ahura Mazda being dead, the creatures he made can no longer serve their original purpose, the one Angra Mainyu disagreed with, but instead it is free to do... something else, it doesn't know what it will be, but it reasons life has earned the right to get to it, whatever it is
Then Angra Mainyu lets itself be killed, and humanity is left in a world without Gods, without demons, in an empty world, alone. Was it worth it?
I’m here following God.
Holy shit this was amazing!
And the illustrations are beautiful!
Great world building story.
This is very cool
I'm not Zoroastrian or anything, but for some reason "Ahriman" sounds like a scarier name to me.
Angra Mainyu?
Me, a Nasuverse fan: *concern*
The lore of Fate is completely incomprehensible to me
Can I steal this?
As long as you don't make money out of it, sure. BUT if you do want to make money of these ideas, like publishing a book, I'd ask for an 80-20 split, or something like that
I would draw a fanart or manga😮
If you do, I'd make a video about it
