Chapter 1 - How it all began...(Prologue)

[The world began with a sudden appearance of Yarvenhklaf, the being responsible for the two processes of existence.

Creation and Destruction

But these two pillars are nothing without the strong foundation that is Balance, Peace and Preservation, which the responsibility of, rested in the arms of Orphalna, the queen of the higher realm.]

As Yarvenhklaf appeared, he made it his own mission to shape a world to be lived in by creatures of all sorts. He would go on to establish laws for this world of his, and create a thriving ecosystem for a few selected planets across the universe that he looked over.

But this couldn't be achieved without Orphalna, who was sent shortly after his appearance to help him manage the world. She was a sort of an employee and nothing more than that.

What came after was unforeseen as Yarvenhklaf started a forbidden relationship with Orphalna.

"They" weren't pleased with this blasphemous and outrageous behaviour.

They were enraged beyond belief.

"Earth", one of the few ecosystems present in the universe, was chosen for a catastrophic event to vent out their anger.

Without much thought, an asteroid of great splendour and grandeur was sent to eradicate all life as they knew it.

Every single creature was wiped off the face of the earth. The prehistoric era of the dinosaurs and beasts had come to an end.

But that was nothing but the tip of the iceberg. "They" have many more plans for the two gods.

The asteroid that struck Earth was the seed for the evolution of microorganisms into intelligent life.

Over millions and perhaps billions of years, creatures evolved into a species called "humans". Their mobility was bipedal, skin of various shades, muscles decent and brains built for great achievements.

It only took a few thousand years for humans to sit at the throne of the food chain. They were supreme in their domain and had other creatures under oppression.

This asteroid had the divine duo trembling with pure fear. They knew that their era was closing in to an end.

With this in mind, they decided to create a new ruler of the world, to nurture him and to raise him best fit for the world's prosperity. His conception caused Yarvenhklaf to be depleted of energy and be reduced to a vegetative and meditative state for a thousand years.

The soon to be sovereign of the universe was born. He grew and matured at an astonishing pace for he had the might of both gods of the divine duo.

He had the capability to govern the whole universe all alone without any assistance.

Some speculated that he could overthrow the divine duo with apparent ease.

The upbringing of said god was filled with resentment for his parents.

"They" sowed seeds of rebellion in his mind at his developing stages. All he felt for his parents was hatred and nothing but that.

"They" led him to be a pursuer of chaos and entertainment.

He is often compared to Loki, Dionysus, Sun Wukong from different mythologies for his nature.

He held immense condemnation for his parents' peaceful way of looking over the world.

He wanted something interesting, something he could watch for the rest of his eternal life, something he could enjoy.

The only way to get what he desired was to seize dominion over the universe.

While his father was engaged in meditation and cultivation, he took his own mother hostage and demanded control when his father returned.

Yarvenhklaf stood in utter disbelief with a look of horror on his face. He screamed out in tremendous fury but his son dug his divinely imbued claws into the neck of Orphalna. The universe trembled, almost showing fear and resentment. Yarvenhklaf came to an abrupt halt, silent, in fear of the abomination standing before him.

He asked, "What do you want?" with his eyebrows furrowed, in a calm and cold voice, expressing his disappointment and disgust.

His son replied, "Everything", as he realized that he required no hostage to complete his conquest. Orphalna met her end in front of Yarvenhklaf's very eyes. Orphalna's divine energy flowed across the world giving birth to false religions that would only bring more despair.

Yarvenhklaf let out a thunderous roar capable of destroying universes. It was thanks to the heavenly realm that the cosmos survived this impact. Yarvenhklaf lunged towards his son with a look of rage and horror in his eyes. His tears flowed into rivers in the divine realm. He embodied a warrior grieving the loss of a loved one amidst war.

The distorted god lunged back towards Yarvenhklaf with a velocity that put the elder to shame.

Their blows clashed, sending sparks that vapourised several insignificant planets and galaxies. Yarvenhklaf's desperate struggle was a lost cause as the unnamed god overpowered him. It was unfortunate but this attack was enough to bring about Yarvenhklaf's untimely demise. The heavens trembled at the sight of this encounter.

As he lay defeated, the young pursuer of chaos declared his rule and victory with his foot over the holy carcass.

"They" watched in amusement and rejoiced as an echo of cheers struck across the universe and in the form of a great storm on the planet of earth.

As they enjoyed, several on earth died and suffered, but it was the least of their concerns.

The unnamed god sat upon his throne as he let out a thunderous laugh. He channeled his energy in excitement of what he had in store for earth.

The humans were suffering from the aftermath of the storms, completely oblivious to what had taken place in the divine realm.

Humans were striving to rebuild civilization unaware of what was being conspired in the mind of the almighty.

They experienced great struggles as they restarted agriculture. They distributed cheap and sustainable rations until humanity was back on their feet

Meanwhile, the unnamed god created 4 divine beings to hold jurisdiction over the 4 domains of reality. Under each god, would be a plethora of deities each responsible for a certain concept. Like, in Greek mythology, the God of War, Ares. These deities were,

Physoren- The deity who reigns over whatever is physical such as matter itself. Often depicted in a male form.

Abstrali- The deity who rules over all abstract existences like emotions and feelings and concepts. Often depicted in a female form.

Enerkon- The deity responsible for ruling over the buffer zone of Physoren and Abstrali's rule like energy, mana, wavelengths. Doesn't have a specific gender depicted form and often androgynous.

And last but not least, Destonaro, the deity who writes fate. Fate is in his control but he doesn't tamper with it until absolutely necessary. He can rebuild the past and change it to affect the future. He knows all of what will come, yet doesn't speak about it.

Fate, is in the form of a skyscraper. The god keeps on building it in his realm, The Domain of Destiny, brick by brick, unaffected by time.

Now with the unnamed god's hands free, he could dedicate his efforts to the cycle of chaos that he would go on to create.

Humanity has began thriving once again and the calamity of storms and cyclones is history for the current generation.

Currently, they would be in the era when the black plague has just risen, another ploy by the unnamed god to create mayhem while he devises his future plans.

The unnamed god then brought into existence a heavenly council responsible for The Cycle Of Chaos, the process by which the unnamed god would bring about this change.

His plan was clear: deep portals would appear randomly throughout the earth on the ground and if not cleared by the humans, they would spew out several monsters. They would often spawn below large man-made creations and devour them in an attempt to hinder humanity's progress.

The creatures would not be affected by normal man-made weaponry so as to create a challenge for the humans. The unnamed god was cruel but not cruel enough to leave mankind defenseless.

That is why he created the 'God's Desires' as we call it. This concept is the backbone of humanity's survival. It allows humans to reach previously incomprehensible levels of power in order to battle against The Cycle Of Chaos.

Humans at the age of 18 receive a quest in the form of a dream. They don't know what it is but must complete it in one year's time. This is completely based on luck as there is no way of knowing what your quest is. Although you can succeed by trying out several tasks, skills throughout the year in hopes of accidentally completing your quest.

The heavenly governing council ensures that the desires are difficult to a degree that wouldn't reduce the successes drastically and keep an adequate amount of transcendents to fend off the monsters.

The unnamed god's plans had finally been plotted and were prepared for execution.

He strikes a wide grin, moments before execution.
