Synopsis
“Why? Why? Whyyyyyyyyyyy! Why does this world hate me? It doesn’t matter how kind I am to the world — it never does the same for me. What god? What karma? The God who helps all, or the god who stands above all yet enjoys the suffering of those below him? So tell me, god — yes, you, you fucking moron — you, the one reading this. Does this look like the synopsis of a dark novel to you? You are the god, aren’t you? So tell me, all-knowing god, do you know how many sins, kind acts, and murders I have committed just to become entertainment for you? You, the one above me — don’t you enjoy my misery? No, the misery of my entire world — in the name of ‘entertainment’ and a ‘great story’? Do you have the slightest idea how much I have suffered? For this one time, I beg you — please, don’t see me as a character in a story, but as a being who breathes, who bleeds, who hurts — just like you. Tell me, are you willing to do that? Are you really willing? Still, you’re going to take this as a story, right? Then answer me — are you willing to take the blame for the children who were murdered, the women who were violated, the genocide that happened? The children who cried? The women who begged for mercy? All that — just for what? To entertain you? And yet, you dare to say your life is unfair? You evil bastard. You love blaming the one above you, don’t you? How does it feel when I do the same? You really think you’re different from the being above you? Then judge yourself and me, if you dare — because we could be living in a grand illusion. One crafted so brilliantly that you can’t even see it. Now… let me sing the song of my tale. Will you please have a seat?” — Valen Veridian, The Emperor of ----------

Chapter 1 - The Fullness in Emptiness

Clang*, clang*—metals were crashing against one another, screams were heard, and the raging cries of battle were going on.

People were driving swords into each other's chests, murdering in the name of the war their own country. Their own people saw them as heroes, someone who saved their nation or sacrificed themselves for the sake of their nation, but what did those people who were killed by those heroes see them as—heroes or villains?

In their eyes they were nothing more than a cold-blooded murderer who needed to be taken down, but were the victims any different?

You see, the hero or the villain depends on whose book we are reading.

You may think of yourself as a hero, but would that be the same in someone else's story? Are you really sure it would be the same?.

No, it won't. You see, in the story of plants, the deer is the villain, while the lion is their guardian who killed the deer for the better.

There are no villains, no heroes, just a different cover and pages.

But why am I saying this to you?.

Said* the human sitting in the void, his clothes were tattered and torn as if he had been through a battle, but his face was still shining as if his face had caught a glimpse of the beauty of God, his eyes shining brightly like the water of the ocean, their color like the skies above the mortals, his hair shining like dawn of light yellow, but he was sitting in chains, one that covered his hands, legs, and neck, as he prepared to bestow another set of words, his pink-looking lips moved in motion, and he let out the words.

"Well, because when you have spent I don't know how much time in an endless void, talking to yourself is the only choice." He did not finish speaking with that sentence; he continued to speak, becoming more violent and desperate with each word leaving his mouth.

"But why do I think I am not alone in this void? Why do I think there is someone watching my misery, watching me go insane? Is there someone there? Hello, is there someone?"

Silence*. Again, it's just silence, emptiness.

I forgot again. Why am I here? Am I dead??.

And if I am dead, then how does a dead man think???

Why is a dead man chained in an empty void? Why do I feel there are multiple people watching me? It's driving me insane.

Silence*

Then suddenly the void shined up under the cosmos, displaying an incredible view.

What is this? , Have the gods taken pity on me?.

Finally, am I about to be freed from those damn chains? Then the void trembled as something, a being, appeared in the void.
