-----Lilu Flauros-----
I then do a little tomfoolery to fit his bones into my inventory, and take off for my next destination. Back to the crazy hermit who lives out past Winterhold. I've got me a part two of a trilogy to collect.
Once I get my hands on the second Oghma Infinium, I'll be one step closer to my goal. Arriving out at the hermits hideout, I hear him out about his request to go and transcribe a Dwemer Lexicon to open the big-ass box.
I decide to think smarter, not harder, and use The Skeleton Key to open the damn thing up. Obviously, the hermit is completely floored with me trivializing his whole damn quest line, but doesn't get the opportunity to bitch about it on account of disintegrating into a pile of ash.
As I go to leave, I'm confronted by a projection of Hermaeus Mora, who offers to make me his Champion. I go ahead and accept since I plan on taking a trip to Apocrypha anyway, so being on Mora's good side is in my best interest.
With that in mind, I take a trip over to Solstheim for a couple of reasons. It occurs to me that during my initial 100% run of Skyrim, the All-Maker Stones for some reason didn't register.
So I'm going to go poke them with a stick to try and get them to register to my System. Also I want to collect the Black Books so I can access Apocrypha Trials in the future.
...
After taking a quick jaunt around the island and discovering each of the All-Maker Stones, and mining some Heart Stones for good measure, I finally tracked down the Black Books. I think that about covers everything I wanted here. Now all I've realistically got left to do is wait for the never-ending army of Haunting Spirits to wipe out all sapient life forms on the planet.
Would you like to enable "Time Skip" to speed things forward while you're basically idling and waiting for something to happen?That's an option?! Fuck yes!

-1 Year since Tyranny of the Sun was invoked-
The mortal races cower in despair as there is no sign of either the Blood Eclipse ending, nor the unending army of evil spirits coming down from the North. Skyrim has been wiped clean of all sapient life at this point.
-3 Years since Tyranny of the Sun was invoked-
Hammerfell, Black Marsh, and many other nations have fallen due to the simultaneous knock-on effects of the Tyranny of the Sun. With the level of UV and visible light significantly reduced, the majority of land-based flora are unable to photosynthesize at peak efficiency. Combined with excessive logging for fires to help keep homes and cities warm due to the cold wave brought on by lowered UV intensity, these problems are only escalating.
-6 Years since Tyranny of the Sun was invoked-
Once people started realizing that Vampires were making a global resurgence under the effects of the Tyranny of the Sun, and with the dissolution of the Dawnguard as an effective countermeasure, large numbers of Vampire Cults and City-States run by Vampires popped up all over the place. Many mortals willingly resigned themselves to the role of being blood cattle if it meant being protected by their Vampire Masters. Necromancers are also prospering in this age of death and calamity.
-10 Years since Tyranny of the Sun was invoked-
The White-Gold Concordant finally falls apart as Imperial freedom fighters oust the Aldmeri Dominion forces from the White Tower. Cyrodiil is once more firmly under Imperial control. A new war with the Dominion is on the horizon, but the Empire has aligned with numerous Vampire City-States and Necromancer Covens to even the odds. Vampirism and Necromancy are viewed as legal within Cyrodiil.
-20 Years since Tyranny of the Sun was invoked-
The Imperial-Aldmeri War is brought to a forced white peace on account of the growing threat of the army of Evil Spirits coming down from the North. Surviving members of the College of Winterhold have established a new College in an agreed upon neutral territory to combine the magical talents of all remaining races in an effort to stop the Ghost Plague.
-30 Years since Tyranny of the Sun was invoked-
The New College is laid to waste due to a reckless experiment involving an Elder Scroll. The last hope for a solution is lost as a result due to the fact that the majority of the worlds surviving magical knowledge was pooled into the New College. Magical Research and Development suffers a death blow.
-50 Years since Tyranny of the Sun was invoked-
With the rapidly diminishing supply of Mortals to slake their bloodthirst, many Vampire Nobles begin in-fighting for control over as many "cattle" as they can get their claws on. Environmental decline has passed a tipping point that cannot be recovered from with the current arcane and scientific knowledge available.
-200 Years since Tyranny of the Sun was invoked-
The last of the mortal races is exterminated by the Evil Spirits and the Vampire Wars. What few surviving Vampires still walk Tamriel elect to entomb themselves in the hope of waiting out the End-Times. They are hunted down and slaughtered in their Crypts by the army of Evil Spirits.
All sapient life has been exterminated and the world is in a death spiral that will lead to a mass extinction.

Alright, I think I'm done here for now. Let's get the hell out of here.
Yes Master! Now exiting [Vampire Lord- Nemesis] Trial!With that, I briefly fade to black, then find myself back in my bedroom in the Estate. Okay, I'm officially done messing with Skyrim for now. I mean, I still need to get an Enchanter Station set up, and I'm going to need a Smithy as well, but that shit can fucking wait!
Right now, I want to just kind of turn my brain off and focus on other shit for a while.
I wonder if I should take a vacation to the Overlord game world? I'm pretty sure that if my current Powers translate over, I should be able to handle the Wizard. Hmm, I'll think about going there soon.
For now though, I- really don't know. I'm surprisingly not horny, which is pretty rare for me. I guess I'm just all tapped out for doing any sort of exertion.
Okay, I'm not horny. I'm not practicing the mountain of new Skills I just got, and I don't have any administrative stuff to do... What the fuck do I do with my day?
Deciding to find some mindless entertainment on the DevilNet (basically a shameless internet ripoff created by Ajuka Beelzebub), and troll people in random forums, I find myself in a veritable battle for the sake of my sanity.
"You have got to be fucking kidding me. How are there people this fucking stupid still living?! I mean, if they were Human then sure, I'd get it. But I'm pretty sure this is a devil. How are they stupid enough to unironically say 'The Old Blood Shall Rise Again' with such conviction?!"
I am half-way convinced that this is some fucking bot made by Akuja to sniff out supporters of the Old Satan Faction. It's not like Internet privacy laws exist in hell.
Deciding that discretion is the better part of valor and making a dignified course of non-continuance (by faking connectivity issues), I decide to skim current events. And... Nothing really interesting or canon-relevant seems to be popping up. This is good for me in the grand scheme of things, but unfortunately it means I've still got nothing to do.
Should I call Serafall or Katerea? Hmm, nah. Sera's probably busy and I legit have nothing to talk to Katerea about. What the fuck do Devils do for fun besides kill each other in Rating Games or fuck each other at fancy nightclubs?
Oh wait, I can do that.
