1. Tiamat's Void Episode 1
68 linesAs the world was swept with the fires of war,
the earth was drenched with blood that overflowed to the oceans.
Children no longer cried,
and the never-ending winter began.
In the center of all this chaos, a girl appeared.
Her fingers slowly followed the trajectory of the stars.
"T-the castle is collapsing!!"
"Everyone, run!"
And just like that, the most sturdy fortress of the continent fell.
The girl walked away, almost as she held no interest.
Not far from her location, a child was trembling with fear.
The girl held her hand out to the small, fragile being.
The child smiled and soon fell asleep.
The girl continued to walk.
She kept walking until all life fell into a deep sleep.
And as the thriving civilization met its end,
she realized what she must do.
...
Doom Goddess Tiamat
She has devoted herself to her calling for an immeasurable amount of time.
Destruction was amusement that lifted her boredom
and judgement to the foolish humans.
But after an unknown amount of time,
Tiamat would, at times, find herself engulfed in a void of emptiness.
The satisfaction from her absolute strength was short
and the void eating her from inside only grew with time.
This was unbearable for the eternal Tiamat.
Everything is... meaningless.
Tiamat needed something new.
"Mommy, I want that staff!"
"No! I told you. Magic is dangerous."
Her eyes soon focused on humans.
The beings who faced destruction multiple times due to the Authority of Doom.
But they always survived.
And each time they would rebuild their civilization even greater than before.
Watching them, Tiamat found herself growing curious.
What if she gave them a little bit of help...?
What if they were to grow a bit more...?
Maybe they could entertain her dull life.
Kyah!
O-orcs! How are they here...?!
Hehe! That's none of your business.
Yeah! You're going to be dead soon anyway!
Eeek!
I-is there anyone?!
Please... Please help me!!!
Shouting won't do you anything!
Yeah! We've killed everyone on our way!
Hehe... There's no one to help you...
Bamm!
Augh?!
Keeee!
Wha...?
I thought I was a goner! Thank you so much!
It's nothing. I was just passing by anyway.
Such talent, and yet so humble!
You're like a hero from fairy tales! May I know your name?
That's such a pretty name!
who presides over...
Lady Tiamat, thank you once again for helping me! You truly are my savior!
the destruction of...
I want to repay you... Would you mind stopping by our town for a bit?
all things...
We have amazing freshly cooked hand-made donuts!
2. Tiamat's Void Episode 3
48 linesHere! The famous chocolate donuts of Ruben!
Dig in, Lady Tiamat!
...
Tiamat took a bite of the donut. And of course, she couldn't taste anything.
How is it? Isn't it to die for?
I don't know...
...!
Why are you crying?
Hic... I thought you were just naturally strong.
Like a sage from a fairy tale.
But it seems like you lost your taste while training to become strong...
That's why you can't taste this amazing sweetness!
...
Then this is not the proper way to repay you!
Instead I will make a heroic tale about you, Lady Tiamat!
Heroic tale...?
A heroic tale is a story about the achievements of heroes.
Their stories will become an amazing melody and travel across the land!
I may not be a bard...
but I am the best singer in this town!
Please wait!
Veronica started writing lyrics onto a piece of paper.
After writing and erasing repeatedly, she soon finished the song.
Tiamat, the hero who saved the village girl was Tiamat
Her magic defeats monsters and saves the land
Her singing was very bad.
There was no emotion in the melody or any holy reverence.
So? How was it?
But...
To Tiamat, it was better than any song she had heard before.
It's not the worst.
Really? Haha, that's good! Then I'll sing it one more time!
I still have a lot of lyrics left!
Veronica's singing kept on going till the sun rose.
Tiamat stayed, listening to her songs.
I'm so sad that you're leaving so soon...
...
But I understand that
there are many places that need your help!
So, I will say good bye with a smile.
Thank you once again, Lady Tiamat, for saving me.
Yes?
I'll be back for more...
...!
Hehe, then I'll make sure to have them ready for you!
See you again, Lady Tiamat!
3. Tiamat's Void Episode 5
40 linesAfter leaving Ruben, Tiamat traveled the world and exterminated monsters.
Tiamat thought that wars broke out due to human fear.
She believed that if she removed the source of their fear, humans would stop fighting,
become an even more advanced civilization,
and make the world more amusing.
F-fight me, foul creatures!
Grooarrrk!
T-this is as far as you...
Grooooarrrk!!!!!
Eeek! The captain said that we just needed to take down two of them... Why..
Grooooooooarrrk!!!!!
Gahhh! G-get away! Please!!!
...
Guak?!
Please don't kill me! I don't even have that much to eat... Huh?
Where did all the monsters...
...
Thank you...! We were almost dead...
Eeek?!
T-there's someone in the air?!
And those horns... It can't be...!!!
I'm just a puny human! Please have mercy...!
How foolish...
Huh...?
...
B-because... there is something more frightening then dying.
...?
I have been a soldier for over a year now. However... I have never killed even a single goblin with my own hands.
I can't stand going back to the barracks...!
Being ignored every day... I just can't stand it.
It might seem pathetic... But this is how I live.
Powerful beings such as you can never understand what this feels like...
Yet, today you are lucky.
Huh...?
Soon, you will no longer have to be frightened.
After saying this, Tiamat left.
4. Tiamat's Void Episode 7
48 linesIn just a week,
Tiamat exterminated all monsters of the world.
But contrary to her wishes, the war became much more brutal than before.
Kill the heretics!
They are not human! They joined forces with demons!
The spear that once pointed towards monsters now pointed against each other.
Human civilization began to crumble faster than ever.
...
And amidst the fires of war...
Tiamat remembered a girl.
W-why are you doing this...?
We are not demons!
We paid our taxes and we never protected monsters...
Shut up, you fiend!
The donuts you made... They were rations for the monsters!
That's because the town was attacked...!
Enough of your excuses! I, as the emperor's sword,
hereby sentence you to death!
Aaaaah!
Huff... Huff...
I did it... I did it...!
Haha! Captain! Look here! I told you I could do it!
I'm not weak anymore!
I am now officially an imperial...
Bamm!
Augh?!
...
Y-you are...
Why... did you kill her?
...
I asked. Why did you kill this girl?
I was... afraid...
If I didn't...
I would be the one marked as a heretic.
...
Are you... disappointed...?
I told you...
Beings such as you will never understand.
I fear... not orcs... or trolls...
but humans the most...
His words were no longer heard.
Tiamat walked away towards Veronica.
Her face, which was always full of smiles, was stained with blood and tears.
Tiamat slowly closed Veronica's eyes
and started walking through the rain.
It was time for true judgement.
5. Tiamat's Void Episode 10
25 linesFrom that day on, Tiamat no longer considered humans special.
To her, they were nothing more than bugs.
That was until, she stumbled upon one particular human.
Watch out, Elizabeth!
One who, despite bearing such great power and heavy fate,
forges his own path without a single misstep.
The one called Swordbringer caught the attention of Tiamat.
Interesting...
Beings that can kill their own kind for the sake of their own interest.
A race that becomes weak against the strong, and strong against the weak.
To Tiamat, who has seen the depravity of human beings,
Ethan's actions were unprecedented.
So much that she wanted to check him out herself.
Swordbringer! Long time no see!
Huh? Oh, you're...
Yep! I'm Violet, the girl you saved from the goblins!
Thank you for what you did for me!
It was nothing. I just did what I had to do.
Don't say that! You're my savior!
Please let me repay you!
Well, if you put it like that...
Hehe. Then allow me to make a song about your heroic...
...
