Reality collapsed in on itself, tearing open a massive rift across the sky. As people tried to flee, beams of light consumed entire realms, causing them to disintegrate. There was no escape for the realms marked for destruction. The Merge’s power could not physically harm any living being, so instead it teleported them into a single realm where no life had ever existed before. This did not happen to just one realm — it happened to all of them. Because of this, nobody knew where anyone came from. People were forced to speak up and gather with others from their own realms. From this chaos came the beginning of civilization. Empires quickly rose from the ruins, each choosing its leaders through a council of selected individuals known as the Council. Together, they voted to decide who would rule their empire. Unknown to mortals, there was a reason the rift had opened. An unknown god, unwilling to remain under the control of the other gods, attempted to overthrow them by sending them into another realm. Instead, his machine malfunctioned, transporting and merging every realm together. His creation became far more powerful than either he or his apprentice had ever imagined. To power the machine, he used forbidden dark magic. The corruption from it spread across his body, making it impossible to hide his involvement. His right eye turned black, and the life and shine faded from both of his eyes. As the corruption worsened, dark cracks spread across his arms like shattered stone. A voice constantly whispered in his ear, promising that he would soon witness unimaginable power. Driven by obsession, he continued studying the forbidden spells until he slowly lost his humanity. Desperate to stop the corruption, he sought out the God of Healing and Health, forcing him to heal the darkness consuming his body. But the healing only made the corruption spread faster. When the God of Creation learned that the God of Healing and Health had witnessed the unknown god’s body crumbling apart with beams of light breaking through the cracks, he grew suspicious. He ordered the God of Mystery to secretly spy on him and uncover the truth. The God of Mystery soon discovered everything. The unknown god had forced himself to repeatedly use dangerous amounts of power in an attempt to heal the corruption consuming him. Eventually, the unknown god lost his mind completely, falling to the ancient corruption that had been sealed away for centuries. The God of Creation sensed a terrifying darkness surrounding him. Using nearly all of his remaining power, he sealed the unknown god within the Mortal Realm, preventing him from ever returning to the Godly Kingdom. He was stripped of his title as a god and cast down among mortals. Meanwhile, the apprentice was imprisoned for his crimes against the balance of the realms and humanity itself. Sadly, he never escaped his prison, as he was eventually murdered by guards pretending to protect the kingdom.
