In the depths of the void, an eternal silence enveloped me. My consciousness floated in a sea of stars, memories of my past life flickering like distant nebulae. I had been a mere human, bound by the limitations of flesh and time.
But now, as the darkness coalesced around me, I felt a transformationa rebirth into a being of unimaginable power. I was no longer a man I was a Leviathan.
Awakening within the gaseous clouds of a distant star system, my new form was a swirling mass of darkness and light. I could feel the gravitational pull of the nearby planets and the pulse of the stars. I sensed the presence of other life forms, primitive and chaotic, yet full of potential. My mind expanded, absorbing knowledge of this new universe a universe where ancient forces would soon clash, and where I could carve out my own destiny.
~~Time Skip~~
As the months went by learned that I was in the Halo universe, long before the Forerunners would rise to power. The galaxy was a tapestry of conflict; the Covenant had not yet been formed, and the various species roamed the stars in isolation. The potential for conquest and empire-building lay before me like a vast ocean, and I felt the allure of it all.
My first act as a Leviathan was to establish a hidden base on an uninhabited planet. I descended into the depths of its oceans, utilizing my formidable power to manipulate the tides and currents. I could shape the environment to my liking, creating a sanctuary where I could strategize and plan.
I cultivated my domain, but I yearned for contact. One fateful day, I detected a signal a distress call from a nearby world. I surged through the waters, cloaking my presence as I approached the source. The planet was inhabited by a primitive species, the humans, who were struggling against a rival faction.
I revealed myself to them, a dark shadow beneath the waves. The humans, initially terrified, soon marveled at my power. I offered them an alliance protection in exchange for loyalty. They would be my first subjects, a foundation upon which I would build my empire.
With my newfound followers, I began to expand my influence. I taught them to harness technology, merging their primitive understanding with my vast knowledge. As they advanced, I helped them construct underwater cities, fortified against potential threats.
My empire flourished, spreading across the planet, drawing in other factions. I offered my protection and technological advancement to those willing to join me, while ruthlessly eliminating those who opposed my vision. News of my power spread, and whispers of the Leviathan who ruled from the depths reached far and wide.
