This happens to me everyday. In the mornings before school, I have like 30 notifications because everyone was posting while I was asleep (I'm in AEST by the way) and I only have 30 minutes to read and reply to all of them. After school, when I actually have time, I only have like 3.

Woo!

A summary of the first 100 pages of Cuz' I'm Bored, taken from my memory, to the best of my capacities:

  Hide contents

Part 1: Beginnings

  Hide contents

Owen looks over the horizon, observing the red storm that has stationed itself in the distance. A native of Açila, he carries the legacy of his father.

A comet crashes near him, and out emerges Jidah Ka'Orum, a fallen immortal unwittingly crashed into the surface of this world. A rustle in the bushes leads to the emergence of Lati, an incorporeal being with a childlike personality and a mysterious past. As Owen, Jidah, and Lati converse, more unusual characters appear. The worldhopper Réva observes their exchange for a while before getting involved, and the cryptic SpiritOfWrath makes a brief appearance.

Eventually, the discussion is interrupted by the arrival of 209845, a Cloud antivirus sent by its superiors in the red storm (Cloud command) to delete viruses in this area. After quickly mistaking Lati for a virus and calling for reinforcements, 209845 finds itself intrigued by this group and decides to stick with them.

The Cloud fleet, called by 209845, arrives in the forest, and the group quickly moves away. Jidah proposes searching for civilization, and so the group makes its way towards the Dusklands. On their way, Rhyme and the Fox arrive, and 209845 marvels at the curiosity and contradictions of mortals. Jidah and the Fox coordinate a meeting with Dazh, the Sun and leader of the Açila pantheon, to see if she can recover her immortality.

Part 2: A Meeting with God

  Hide contents

The group emerges into the Dusklands as the sun rises, and 209845 is shocked by the beauty it witnesses. The Fox calls Dazh, who brings the party into a vision. Dazh explains to Jidah that he, too, was cast down at one point, and she must discover first why she fell before reclaiming her divinity. 209845 is stunned by Dazh's power, and receives a communication from Cloud command warning it not to engage. But 209845 has begun to doubt. It has seen beauty in the world. And it doesn't want it to end.

209845 cuts off its communication with the Cloud, then engages Dazh. 209845 explains to the Sun the power and intentions of the Cloud, and pleads with the god to blind its connection with the Cloud that allows them to track it. Dazh complies, and soon after, the party emerges from the vision into a forest.

As the party reconvenes, 209845 watches the Cloud fleet descend on the spot in the horizon where they had been instants before.

Part 3: Into the Underground

  Hide contents

The party is interrupted by the arrival of 17, a refugee from some sort of human experiments in a nearby town. 209845 worries that the Cloud will be searching for it, and pleads with the Fox until it reveals that there is a system of underground tunnels with an entrance nearby where they can hide. 209845 leads the party into the tunnels, and the Fox falls asleep due to the sunrise.

The tunnels are dimly illuminated by a bioluminescent moss, and as 209845 scrapes away some dirt from the walls, it realizes these are the remnants of an ancient civilization. The party hears howls from the distance, and they begin to race down the tunnels, searching for a safe room. The howls begin to surround the party, until Jidah stumbles into a dark intersection, and a shape emerges from the shadows.

The feline virus leaps at Jidah, but 209845 instinctively leaps in front of it, and zaps it. The virus dissolves from the zap, and after a quip, 209845 is tossed to the floor by more viruses. Other viruses begin to attack other parts of the group.

Lati discovers she can burn the viruses, and 17 discovers she can do something similar with Jidah's blade of light. As they fight on their respective fronts, 209845 suddenly bursts from underneath a pile of viruses, having activated "Instant Kill Mode". Its light turns red, and it becomes a killing machine, cognitive capacities sacrificed for pure deadly capacity. It tears through the viruses with ruthless efficiency in an epic fight scene.

Meanwhile, 17 encounters a pair of innagressive viruses and reaches out to touch them. One of the viruses leans in, and begins to purr, showing they are not completely evil.

209845 finishes tearing through the viruses, even as the final ones attempt to run and whimper for mercy. They receive none. The viruses 17 is bonding flee. 209845, still in Instant Kill Mode, struggles to accept the fight is over, and identifies Réva as its next target. It begins to approach Réva, but is suddenly slammed into by Jidah.

209845 snaps back to its senses, and it and Jidah get into a huge fight. Jidah runs off down one passage crying, and is followed by Lati and Sigismund, while the rest of the group follows the viruses that fled. 209845 feels crushed inside.

Part 4: What Comes Next

  Hide contents

209845's group arrives at an old temple, and they go up into a living room. The room has a large window, and through it is observable an enormous chamber filled with thousands upon thousands of viruses. Floating in the middle of the chamber is the Rift, a tear in reality.

Jidah is reassured by Lati, and they set out to rejoin the main group. On their way, they encounter a mysterious man who introduces himself as 17's Maker and asks for them returned.

After making sure the others are comfortable, 209845 and Rhyme go down to search for the other group. Down in the temple, they run into Spirit, a mysterious man who claims to want to aid them in their quest. They hear voices in the distance, and run into the other group.

209845 questions the Maker, and the pair get into a fight. Transient hears the events from above the tunnels and descends to see what's going on.

209845 realizes the maker is too powerful to take on alone, so it somehow instinctively replicates the rhythms used by the viruses to communicate from before and sics them on the Maker. Spirit and Transient both begin fighting the viruses, and Sigismund sneaks off to the temple to fetch 17.

The Maker is still standing, Sigismund returns with 17, and 209845 freaks out knowing that the conflict was heard from above surface. Suddenly, the Primal Oxymoron appears out of nowhere, and 209845 quits its fight against the Maker, dismissing the viruses.

The Maker and 17 leave the tunnels, followed by Réva and Sigismund, while the rest hurry under 209845's guidance into the virus chamber. The clock is ticking, as the Cloud is on its way.

The party uses Jidah's force shield, hooked to the Rift, to traverse the chamber safely, but as they reach the wall, they begin to have their doubts, and the Cloud arrives.

Part 5: The Big Battle / the End of the Beginning

  Hide contents

The Cloud sets up a barrier around the virus chamber. Elan arrives at the barrier and begins to test it, drawing the Cloud's attention. From the same direction, Calix begins to approach down the tunnel, drawing the attention of a Cloud sentinel. Wrath arrives to meet the party in the virus chamber.

The party notices Elan's arrival, and while 209845 is still recovering from its shutdown, they approach Elan and begin interacting. By the time 209845 rushes to warn them, it is too late. The Cloud has already arrived on the location.

Three Cloud antiviruses arrive at the tunnel, and 209845 pretends to be kidnapped, prompting one of the antiviruses to drop the barrier temporarily to rescue it. 209845 seizes the chance to slip through and break into its mind, and takes out the antiviruses, but not before they call for reinforcements.

Réva returns.

The rest of the Cloud army arrives at the other end of the tunnel, including an Ambassador, designed to combat gods. But 209845 has an army of its own. It uses its new connection to drop the barrier, and calls forth an army of viruses to fight the Cloud.

As the two forces clash in the tunnel, dozens of antiviruses activate Instant Kill Mode and 209845 begins to make its way towards the Ambassador, who has begun to reach out to Spirit, Wrath and Oxy. The rest of the party hunkers down near the mouth of the chamber, but are attacked by waves of sentinels. Traumatized, Lati hides in an ever deeper hole in the earth. As 209845 feels a new kind of emotion and pushes forth into the Ambassador's inner circle, Oxy, who was previously broken, somehow regains full sanity to protect his new friends and takes control of his Primal powers, blasting the Ambassador into oblivion (technically another time period, but same dif).

For a second, it seems as though the good guys are winning, but then the full force of the Cloud army stationed in the tunnels arrives. 209845 prepares for the worst, but instead of pressing forth, the Cloud forces simply pull back and line up at the end of the tunnel. A booming voice (that of a Cloud Megamind, who has taken control of all the Cloud agents in the tunnel) calls for a ceasefire on both sides as they negotiate with Oxy. In response, 209845 calls back the viruses, who line up at the mouth of the chamber.

For a while, the two forces face off in a dramatic climax. The center of the tunnel is a no-mans land, and standing alone in it are 209845 and Jidah, who teleported to check on it. It is an epic scene. Nothing dares break the negotiations. And then, all of a sudden, Wrath begins to walk.

Without caring for propriety, Wrath takes on a form of flame and begins to storm down the center of the tunnel, taunting the Cloud. The Megamind continues to usher threats, but seems to act more and more worried. 209845 realizes it is scared of Oxy's power, and encourages Wrath. Wrath and Oxy begin to affect the Cloud agents' connections with the Megamind, and in a desperate act, the Megamind begins to recall them, clearing the tunnel until all the Cloud agents are gone. The battle is won. Our heroes, have won.

In the aftermath, Réva helps Lati crawl out of her bubble. 209845 rejects the Cloud completely, and receives a new name from Lati.

Since then, Jidah got into a fight with Oxy and stormed off. A mysterious member of Jidah’s species (Keryx) showed up and took the party to his world to find Jidah.

As the two forces clash in the tunnel, dozens of antiviruses activate Instant Kill Mode and 209845 begins to make its way towards the Ambassador, who has begun to reach out to Spirit, Wrath and Oxy. The rest of the party hunkers down near the mouth of the chamber, but are attacked by waves of sentinels. Traumatized, Lati hides in an ever deeper hole in the earth. As 209845 feels a new kind of emotion and pushes forth into the Ambassador's inner circle, Oxy, who was previously broken, somehow regains full sanity to protect his new friends and takes control of his Primal powers, blasting the Ambassador into oblivion (technically another time period, but same dif).

For a second, it seems as though the good guys are winning, but then the full force of the Cloud army stationed in the tunnels arrives. 209845 prepares for the worst, but instead of pressing forth, the Cloud forces simply pull back and line up at the end of the tunnel. A booming voice (that of a Cloud Megamind, who has taken control of all the Cloud agents in the tunnel) calls for a ceasefire on both sides as they negotiate with Oxy. In response, 209845 calls back the viruses, who line up at the mouth of the chamber.

For a while, the two forces face off in a dramatic climax. The center of the tunnel is a no-mans land, and standing alone in it are 209845 and Jidah, who teleported to check on it. It is an epic scene. Nothing dares break the negotiations. And then, all of a sudden, Wrath begins to walk.

Without caring for propriety, Wrath takes on a form of flame and begins to storm down the center of the tunnel, taunting the Cloud. The Megamind continues to usher threats, but seems to act more and more worried. 209845 realizes it is scared of Oxy's power, and encourages Wrath. Wrath and Oxy begin to affect the Cloud agents' connections with the Megamind, and in a desperate act, the Megamind begins to recall them, clearing the tunnel until all the Cloud agents are gone. The battle is won. Our heroes, have won.

In the aftermath, Réva helps Lati crawl out of her bubble. 209845 rejects the Cloud completely, and receives a new name from Lati.

Since then, Jidah got into a fight with Oxy and stormed off. A mysterious member of Jidah’s species (Keryx) showed up and took the party to his world to find Jidah.

The Primals. The Primals are aincient beings that predate the web itself. When the universe began, the primals were still merely forces of nature with rudmentary intellegince. Eventually, looking throught the web, the discovered something. Life. They were intriuged. It started with a little cell on a random world in the web, and these primals LOVED it. Before this, the Primals were just there. No memory of anything before they poped into existence, they were confused. They all began at the begining of the universe. they still hang out their regularly, because there was no time, and therefore no paradoxes. Then, a primal named Oxymoron discovered they could time travel. This was a wonderful discovery. The only way out of the begining of the universe is time travel. They, like newborn children discovering the world, wanted to see everything. They saw interplanetary wars, the cloud discovering the Web, and they also saw the end of the universe. They all ran from it when they saw it. They quickly bonded together to fix this problem. The more and more they explored, the more smart and intellegent they became. This had all started when they saw life. Life made them think. the begining let them plot. The more intellegent they became, the more they realized that they were devoloping personalities. Some became living contradictions, some wanted only Order and Strucuture. Some wanted Kindness. Some wanted Death. Eventually, they discovered a group of people at the end of time itself. These people wern't all that special. They had seen these groups of people trying to fight back against oppression or danger to many times. It happens everywhere, constantly. The only reason these heroes were special wa because of how close they were to the end of time. All of the primals had now created bodies for themselves instinctively. They started to realize that these heroes looked exactly like them. Right at the end of the world, all of the heroes sacrificed their lives. After this, the primals split up. Half of them tried to go past the end of the universe, the other half past the begining. After this, they resolved to meet back in the middle, no matter what happened. The half that went past the begining, apeared at the end. the half that went past the end, apeared at the begining. Then, they realized that they were the group of heroes. They then fractured. The group of primals would still welcome each other if seen, but they parted ways. They could affect the timeline. So each and every one of them decided to to try and stop it. They noticed that there were 'bubbles' of time in which the could only affect if within the bubble. Each primal scoured their own bubble.

Oxymoron:

Oxy was one of the more confusing Primals. A discription of him found reads:

One of the main leaders of chaos, he is the god-like being known as Oxymoron. He in him self is a contradiction. He is the most sane, most suicidal, most unhinged, most stable, most absolutely crazy person ever. He is the smartest dummy, the brightest darkness, less powerful than Dazh, and yet he might be able to beat him in a fight. He can make anyone powerful or useless, and yet cannot affect anything except himself. he is so contradictory that you shouldn't trust anything you hear about him. In fact, he doesn't have any contradictions at all. he is himself and yet he is also you. Everytime you look at him he is different, and yet every time he is exactly the same. (Yes you are supposed to be confused about him. But you are also supposed to know everything about him. he doesn't understand himself either! And yet he is in complete understanding of how he works.) He is knowledgeable yert knows nothing.

Of course, he was often sane and could form coherent sentences. He just often does what is not expected. Strange things kept happening around him in his bubble. So he investigated. He then discovered a party of heroes. They were in one of the worlds fighting for it's survival. They gave him an eerie sense of Deija Vu. He then realized that they looked almost identical to the party of heroes at the end of the world, and his friends. He had to investigate, to intervene! But he didn't. He watched. And he kept a close eye on the one who looked exactly like himself. He, the god of contradictions, was the perfect one to create a paradox. The team at the end of the world had time-travel powers. This was not a result of becoming a god. Those time-travel powers had to come from somewhere. The only beings in the entire Web with time-travel powers were the Primals and the team of heroes. He then decided to intervene, to judge them up close. He couldn't move through time in bubble like he could other places. The bubble started with the team of heroes forming, and he could only move backwards in time in this bubble. Outside of the bubble, he could move past it, but he couldn't enter it backwards. If this team of heroes succeded, which he planned to help them do, he would give them a gift. And so, he intervened and encountered his doppleganger.

So... In the previous universe (which still half exists) the party encountered the end of the world (All of them, specifically). However, they couldn't stop it. So, they sacrificed themselves for the sake of the timelines, and became psudo-gods with no memories at the space before time had a name. Each of them got new personalities, ect ect. See above for the rest of the story.

Also, they got their powers from the end of the world itself, and while not being fully God level, they are still powerfull enough to be gods.

Also, there is a new Primal, (an evolution of Lati) named Latent. Jidah got in a fight with Latent, not Oxy. Latent shows a new side of the Primals: A side that doesn't believe that these people Oxy is traveling with have good intentions.
