Prologue: I'm just beginning
"Boring… seems like nothing is interesting around here. Is this what mortals call peace?"
"Master, peace in our kingdom brings happiness to the people; wars bring destruction and sorrow. Isn't that what they dreamed of so much?"
"Hahaha, Yeh… I think so."
Sitting on his throne, the young boy replied as his gaze drifted toward the woman before him. The Palace they inhabited was majestic, bathed in the ethereal glow of the 'rivers of stars.' Yet, his attention wandered elsewhere.
The boy didn't care much for the peace that mortals yearned for. But he had crafted this kingdom, a seeming paradise, to fulfill the wishes of the people he cherished. Their smiles—simple yet powerful—gave him the strength to endure such mind-numbing boredom.
"But... what if we made a new 'story'? A tale of heroes or tragedy. One that could shatter the multiverses and beyond."
He said, excitement twinkling in his silver eyes as they gazed at the stars. Rising from his throne, he muttered:
"Peace reigns here, but the universe is a jungle where the law of the strongest prevails. And now... these insects wish to impose a 'fate' on everyone. Hahaha, why obliterate them when I can use them for a little amusement?"
A smile stretched across his face, his thoughts drifting to certain entities.
'…Master, your adventures always spiral into something unexpected. But, somehow, things always get better. Is that your plan?' the woman mused affectionately, watching him fondly.
"So, master... what will you do?"
"Hm, let me see…"
He rose and soared into the starry sky. The woman followed silently, sensing something monumental was unfolding.
"I will create a place where fate can't bind them, where their desires and all they achieve may echo across time! Arise!"
With his words, a black tower, shimmering with purple hues, erupted from the void. It spiraled through the dimensions, stabilizing itself like a bridge across the fabric of existence.
…
"In this story, my name will be Yato. And you, my pretty Lady?" Yato asked after approaching the woman.
"Master, I will always be your Yerin. Yerin Elsher." Yerin replied with a smile after deciding not to change her name.
"How cute you are, my little one." Yato smiled.
"Now, let's see who my dearest brightest stars will be."
Two tiny golden spheres appeared in space; they flickered for a moment and shot off randomly, traversing the space in search of certain planets.

'Henceforth… the stage is set and curtains drawn. Ah, travelers from distant shores, what role will you play in this revelry?' —Yato
