Chapter 1: From Nothingness to Creation
The Origin of Power
Before the first star ignited, before time began its endless march, there was only the Void. A silence so absolute that existence itself did not yet have meaning. In this abyss of pure nothingness, two forces emerged, each an opposite reflection of the other.
One was Good Energy, a radiant force of creation, balance, and harmony. It held within it the essence of life, wisdom, and infinite possibility. Where it flowed, order took shape, and the potential for existence was born.
The other was Bad Energy, a force of corruption, destruction, and chaos. It did not create—it devoured. It was the essence of hunger without end, the raw instinct to consume, control, and dominate.
These two primordial entities were neither gods nor mere concepts. They were existence itself, the only true constants in the endless void. And for an eternity beyond measure, they remained in opposition—two forces locked in an unbreakable balance.
But balance is fragile.
Bad Energy, restless and insatiable, sought to corrupt what it could not create. It wished to shatter the stillness, to shape reality into a realm where chaos reigned and all things bowed before its hunger.
To do this, it needed something more—tools of corruption, weapons that could seep into the very essence of reality.
And so, from the depths of its abyssal existence, Bad Energy gave birth to the 7 Sins.
The Birth of Sin
The 7 Sins were unlike anything before them. They were not mere creations—they were concepts given form, dark whispers woven into the very fabric of reality. Each Sin was an extension of Bad Energy's will, a mechanism through which it could spread its corruption.
At first, these Sins were powerless. They existed in potential, but without belief, they were only shadows waiting to be given life.
And so, Bad Energy whispered.
It spread across the void, embedding its influence into the very heart of existence. Wherever a being desired more than they needed, felt wrath beyond reason, or surrendered to obsession, the Sins grew stronger.
Each Sin became a force of its own:
Greed made creatures crave power, riches, and dominion, consuming them until they destroyed themselves.
Wrath turned entire civilizations to war, reducing worlds to ashes in unrelenting fury.
Envy bred betrayal, shattering alliances and leaving ruin in its wake.
Lust corrupted desires, turning ambition into obsession, love into madness.
Sloth dulled the minds of the wise, weakening civilizations that might have resisted corruption.
Gluttony drove beings to excess, consuming until nothing remained.
Pride blinded even the greatest, leading them to their downfall.
With every act of sin across existence, Bad Energy grew stronger. The balance was shifting. The universe was slipping into corruption.
But Good Energy was watching.
The First Great War
Recognizing the growing corruption, Good Energy made its choice. It could not allow Bad Energy to consume everything.
Thus began the First Great War, a battle not between armies, but between the fundamental forces of reality itself.
The clash was beyond mortal comprehension.
Stars collapsed under the sheer force of their conflict. Galaxies that had only just begun to form were shattered in an instant. Time itself fractured, creating paradoxes and rifts that would linger for eternity.
Bad Energy unleashed its full might, wielding the 7 Sins as weapons. Entire regions of existence became warped landscapes of madness, where beings were consumed by their own desires, their own rage, their own pride.
But Good Energy fought back. It forged constructs of light, shaping them into guardians that could resist the corruption. These celestial warriors battled against the ever-growing tide of darkness, pushing back the influence of the Sins.
The war raged for an eternity. Neither side could gain the upper hand.
Until Good Energy made its final move.
Gathering every ounce of its power, it created a single, unstoppable force—a purging light so pure that no darkness could withstand it.
And then, it unleashed it.
The explosion was unlike anything before. It tore through existence, consuming Bad Energy and the Sins, ripping them apart at their very essence.
But in doing so, Good Energy, too, was destroyed.
The shockwave of their destruction gave birth to the universe itself.
The Birth of a New Cosmos
What remained was chaos turned into order. The explosion, known as the Big Bang, created galaxies, stars, planets—a vast, sprawling universe filled with infinite potential.
Some planets remained lifeless, but others were infused with fragments of Good Energy. These worlds became special, each embodying a unique force of positivity—Wisdom, Strength, Hope, Compassion, Innovation, Balance, and Courage.
Civilizations rose, unaware of the ancient battle that had shaped their universe.
But one thing was forgotten.
While Bad Energy had been destroyed, the 7 Sins had not been completely erased. Their essence lingered, scattered across the cosmos, waiting to be found.
And after billions of years, someone found them.
The Rise of Xerathos
Far beyond the reach of light, in the cold, desolate edges of the universe, something dark awakened.
His name was Xerathos.
He was not born like other beings. He had no home, no ancestry. He was a creature of the void, formed from the scattered remnants of the 7 Sins.
The voices of Greed, Wrath, and Pride filled his mind. They taught him. They shaped him.
He learned that power was everything. That control was the only law. That morality was weakness.
As the centuries passed, he hunted down the lost fragments of the Sins, consuming them one by one. With each Sin he absorbed, he grew stronger, until he became something more than a mere being—he became the living embodiment of corruption itself.
Now, Xerathos had only one purpose:
To corrupt the entire universe.
If he could make all living things surrender to sin, he would become unstoppable.
His influence began to spread. Slowly at first—subtle whispers in the minds of rulers, the quiet descent of once-great civilizations into ruin. But soon, his power would reach a tipping point.
And then, the universe would burn
