Chapter 2 - How it all began

The world has entered a new era. It was the year 3000 A.D. People plunged headlong into Esotericism, Mysticism, and all that did not concern them, and for fifty years they were only interested in that. Thus two factions came into being. One called itself "The Hand of God," with those people who worshipped the Lord God, and the other "Crimson Dawn," elevating Lucifer. The world was not starting wars over territory, it was once again on the cusp of new crusades. The whole point is that one monk achieved enlightenment in a very short period of time. He was, you might say, the first to open the veil of mystery to the world. God, or Father, as they call him, though he has many names, let's say Father, did not create the earth. He and his consort were the first on earth, namely, as they were called, Adam and Eve. Then Adam could control everything, nature endowed him with control of time, space, and all living things. Thus, his first children, the so-called Seraphim, did not receive his gift, or rather not in full. Lucifer, Michael and Gabriel, his first children who received great power, the others less and less of their father's full power. This is how humans appeared on earth. But his children were not happy and began to argue that they wanted their own lands and their own laws, and the father created his new kingdom, which was not on earth, but in space, where time has no meaning. Only those who remained living on earth lost the power of the father and became mortal - the people we all know. Father was kind and gave them a chance to survive if they were faithful to him again. But, after a while, Lucifer wanted to rule himself, Father was against it, their will was to be mortal and live on their own. And so the war for the right to rule began. Alas, Lucifer lost. His father created his own kingdom for him and banished him there. That kingdom, in fact, was a prison for him. But Lucifer found a way to influence the human world. And now anyone who broke his father's laws was brought into his world and changed both outwardly and spiritually. That's how the world began to evolve. But, as it turned out, there were those who were able to be born with a grain of their father's power and ascend. That is how the new Gods appeared, such as Odin, Zeus, Jupiter, Ra, and others. These were all people who were gifted with the power of the father. But the people began to believe in the new Gods, and the father was forgotten. But the point was that only the father did not need to believe. His power was the whole universe. Only the new Gods lived only because of people's faith-a powerful source of power that could disappear at any moment. Well, as we know, everything went back to normal when the new Gods died and everyone began to believe in Father again. Especially when he had his true heir, who had fully mastered his powers. And his father, for the sake of a test, exiled him to earth, and afterwards returned him to his kingdom. But enough of history, let us return again to our time. So the monk told this to the people and told them how to achieve enlightenment. But because people were greedy beyond all limits, they, because of their stupidity and greed, destroyed the shackles that kept Lucifer's kingdom under lock and key, and demons poured into the world. The Father decided to change the situation and sent angels to stop it. Thus began the war between darkness and light. But Lucifer found a way and with the help of people, or rather their souls, created a key that opened the gates of his father's kingdom. And I am Lucifer's son, Cain. I led the army of demons that stormed Adam's palace. Except when I entered the throne room, I saw God, his wife, and their son. Here was my chance to change everything. I slew Abel, that was the name of God's son, he, back when he was reborn, was called Jesus. The name people gave him. When I was ready to fight Adam, time stood still and my body was restrained. - My dear Cain, you have come a long way. You carried your father's will and here you are, killing my son and wanting to take back your father's throne. But I know it was you who always wanted to be the beam of light. To let everyone know that you are the one who brings the light, not your father once. I will give you that chance. If you become a light to mortals, you will take my place, Kain. - His words have me stumped. A light? His place? No, that's a good thing, but Daddy would rip my head off. Before I could do or say anything, I was engulfed in flames and a beautiful girl walked into the hall. Her figure was so slender that I couldn't take my eyes off her, especially that luscious ass and firm breasts. Her eyes were mesmerizing. And that beautiful fiery hair... Okay, wait, what the hell?! - Aria will accompany you on your journey. The history of this world is in your hands now. - And that's when I realized I was fucked. Such a huge and hopeless asshole. Because my grandfather is a sneaky bastard who thinks a hundred steps ahead. The fire engulfed me, and I saw a bright light, and then a deep darkness and silence....
