You wont have this body Yama… but I can break your Samsara. “That’s nice…” she stopped the words exiting and echoing softly, Yama closed her eyes and sharply exhaled. Yamala crawled away in a corner, face covered with little slits to see her sisters body eaten by the fires. The shin burned and exploded in conflagration as the oils set off the flames, the skin melted and puddled around her body, flesh charred and fell as clumps of ash in to the puddle of skin as streams of boiling evaporating blood rushed to coalesce. The bones were clear against the back drop of black flesh, ashy, and rigid unyielding to the glutinous fire. The fire died down, some scorched flesh desperately clung to its former owner, the husk that was Yama was a disgrace to her magnificence, she was nothing now, an empty vessel in the middle of nowhere.

The fires rose around them infernal stygian smoke swallowed them as the building collapsed, slowly building their tomb. Yamala freed herself from the pinning rocks a snap of her bones and her ankle detached. Her leg was crushed all that remained was a pureed paste of human meat. Crawling over to Yama she rose up, her arms shaking straining under her weight, looking her over, Yama, you are dying, she said dryly. “Oh…” Yama, can you still hear, you shouldn’t be losing all organ functions yet. “I can hear you, I feel a bit uncomfortable.” That’s okay, that’s… okay.” “Whats wrong with you?” I… I lost my leg. “Rough.” Do you want to die…die…Yama? “It wouldn’t be bad…. Im just so tired.” I can put us to sleep again? “No… that only worked…. Once, and not well, we…woke up.” Im sure it will work this time. “No, can we…. Make it Yam? Can we?” I can…. You cant. “Oh… I don’t want to sleep then Yam, i… want to see this world a bit. I had fun traveling with Isumant and his friend. They are nice people….why do we have to do this… its not like it will make it better for us….or them, just them.” They made us this way. “Yes but…I don’t want to….be their image…do you understand?” I do. Can… you… do it, do it? “S-s-sure, I-i-I did it before, before the execution. I’d sneak out… there was a little boy…b-b-oy… we’d spend time together… I m-miss h-.” Its okay….

If you haven't already, give "Do androids dream electric sheep?"

Don't write a character foucsed drama

Didn't read it
My only guilty pleasure is the Dark Hunter series by Kenyon

CANT CATCH ME HOMO THOUGHTS

I can give you an example ;3

What I'm saying is that anything other than "union with god" is irrelevant (there are no allegories I can say that wouldn't have you thinking I'm talking about being "pro chemicals")

God = everything that happens
The more you control what happens the more you are god.

Asceticism is an offshoot of buddhism, it would be easier to argue against the real thing

Arguing within this context:
It's superior to learn to live in the moment. Take a drug one minute and be ok the next minute when it is gone, no attachments in the purest sense, not even to a set of rules like asceticism

>>2394829
Honestly I'd be ok with you posting in a random thread somewhere else and linking it. I like to talk about this
Been in my room coming up with it for long enough

>>2394828
Well, fuck

Sub-brow where you nearly have no idea what the fuck is going on

>>2394805
Try 1337 speak bro

>>2394787
I can see what you mean but he never really does nothing
It's the usual morning depressing morning routine and then the story basically starts

Accurate and I never really thought of it exactly like that
But 1984 was still better, like anon said

>>2394784
Weather or not it was meant to be prophetic is irrelevant when it pretty much is

>>2394785
Subjectivity is delusion. Relativity is reality. What is good for that relative perspective is good, what is bad for it is bad
There is 1 right and a fuckload of wrongs

>>2394780
The point in OBTAINING would be to make the outside world conform with your will. Because your will is your serenity. Conquer and make it a reality

>>2394766
Are you a fucking nigger?
There is more to life than just first world living. There is conquest: my point
Get out of your complacent little head and realize that will is a lot more than self discipline. There is outside discipline, making the outside world conform with your will.
Everything you're talking about is completely irrelevant. You have your discipline, but what are you doing? It's pointless

You don't even realize the point of asceticism. It's pleasure. Serenity
But it's such a ass-backwards second hand way of achieving it. It's lowering the standards of pleasure to eliminate all of the side effects of not having it. It removes everything so all that is left is the little bit of serenity

>>2394719
Like I said in my post, the goal is pleasure.

The fact that, like you said, nihilists tend to be hedonistic shows you how irrelevant it is. The simple fact that feeling good > feeling bad throws nihilism right out the fucking window

It's here you begin to realize that your world revolves around you, and so should your way of living. How can you feel the maximum good

Ascetics (read DEFEATISTS) would say by learning to go without.
Ubermensch would say by learning to OBTAIN.

None of you realize how irrelevant any of this is
This is just buddhism, nihilism -redux

Anti-human. Defeatist. Pathetic

The ends have, and always will, justify the fucking means. And you being happy in your tub of shit, hardly changes that you are covered in it.

The goal is pleasure. It always is. LOWERING YOUR STANDARD OF IT IS NOT THE SAME AS INCREASING IT

The only thing you can be sure of, putting the self aside, is that worldly things brings are worldly. Now when you put yourself into the equation, these worldly things become relative. For instance poison is bad because it would bring death. Death being an inherently bad thing for the self. The opposite of death is life. Now how can life be defined? Looking at examples life is kind of defined by will, the ability to impact the outside world.
The amount of will (read: life) varies. Humans being at the top of this. This is to say we are more alive than a dog; shown also by the fact that we have such obvious deeper experience than a dog.

So therefore on inherent "good" thing would be life ie will ie power.
So therefore, when it comes to the OUTSIDE WORLD and how it effects the self, power is always a good thing

So defeatism then?

>being an ascetic is a one step closer to becoming an Übermensch
No

I love little over the top internet arrogant faggots like you

>>2394397
I also agree with this, an edit to the last paragraph. Things being a lot less situational and more personal
Not exactly sure how you'd do this though, sounded personal as it was.

To make it a little different, if you do decide to continue with this character's story (which you probably should. could be a commentary on kind of making it big in the corporate world, maybe doing some research on people that have irl) it would be interesting to see little short stories here and there of different people within that world.
A homeless man.
A teenage boy.
All versions of yourself, as you're pretty good at writing dialogue from your perspective. All showing you different tastes of this schi-fi world.

It would be interesting as fuck to read

>>2394385
You're probably right. More descriptions of the main character would come along later
This being an prologue, a kind of introduction into the world he is in. It's only 1 kill of 1 type of enemy, in a world full of them
Should probably also give more -personal descriptions of things as they pertain the the character, like you were saying

>>2394388
I really wanted to use first person. I wanted it to a be a slow-read monologue; really putting yourself into the character's shoes (story is based off of the game Dark Souls, btw)

>You might want to change this too, it made me chuckle and that's not the reaction you want here
Kind of did. Huge fan of dark humor. The fact that he had to focus on his breathing is supposed to hint at the fact that this sight nearly made him enter a day dream, also kind of meant to be funny.

In the game you switch from Hollow to Human, you switch at bonfires. It's supposed to kind of allude to the difficulties of being hollow (difficulties not shown in the game)

If I continues there would probably be a lot more dark humor, more obvious.
I wrote a story like this based on Metal Gear 4, ending with the main character killing himself. The reader only really found out it was MSG when, after killing himself, the robot next to him shouted "Snake! Snake!", as it does in the game
