Does anyone ever wonder of fantasize about themselves or another becoming so powerful and driven, that they gain extreme technological or magic powers and become nearly immortal and evolve over hundreds or thousands of years, into a being one could hardly assume was ever once a normal human, even more so one with hopes and dreams, but now they are a dark and twisted being indistinguishable from a dark god. Just something about this concept fascinates me, a powerful and ancient being actually coming from simple and quaint origins, but having turned into something else, whether through extreme pain, pure will, or other similar circumstances. Like imagine being an ancient and dark and powerful consciousness, imprisoned in the depths of Earth, and one day a hero comes to defeat you, and you look down and contemplate on the fact you were once like that… perhaps once a innocent farm hand who became warped in the occult and was a surprisingly competent mage…. It things turned for the worse and now you are something else entirely. The hero does not realize this but you do, and you laugh to yourself… My main pondering on this comes from the general idea around the vampire or the cyborg, but I think it could apply further to a much stronger, encompassing warped, and ethereal being.

Share your thoughts on this concept. What do you think of it? What are some examples of it, whether in history, mythology, or fiction? Is such a path possible? How would one go about it? Could one acquire such a state of consciousness and power for good?

Yeah I fantasize about that all the time anon. Since I’m an engineer, I also often think of technological ways to accomplish some form of apotheosis. imo that’s probably our purpose here, similar to “The Egg” by Andy Weir. We’re probably baby gods anon.

Not a dark good but definitely a world creator. It's weird, right? I only have video games and writing to do that.
