Background:
In the world of Creation Tree, a realm both ancient and vast, the laws of existence were not always as they are today. The story begins with the creation of this world, a tale deeply rooted in cosmic battles, divine interference, and the birth of the multiverse itself.
At the heart of the world stands the Creation Tree, planted by the oldest and most powerful of the gods. He is a being born from the emptiness of the void, a god who has witnessed the clash of two cosmic laws — Creation and Destruction. These two laws fought a battle so intense that it created the entire multiverse, birthing galaxies, stars, planets, and all forms of life. As the fight raged, the two laws turned into books, their essence locked away in text. The oldest god, curious about their origin, followed them, only to be drawn into an unfamiliar space outside of time and reality.
This strange dimension, a place between worlds, was filled with countless laws of existence, fragments of reality, and creation's very fabric. In this timeless void, the oldest god found himself trapped for 1 Quato year — equivalent to 1000 trillion years. During this time, he absorbed every law, becoming the very fabric of existence itself. He was no longer just a god but the embodiment of all laws, a being known as Aazam. As Aazam, he became the library of all laws, existing as a universal consciousness, woven into the atoms of all things — a being who shaped reality.
Though perfect, Aazam was not immune to surprise. Despite his omniscient nature, something deeply shook him, hinting that there was more to existence than he could comprehend.
The Fallen One:
Now, 10 Quato years after Aazam's ascension to godhood, a strange and unsettling event occurred that would shake the foundations of the multiverse itself. It began with the birth of a mysterious entity, a being consumed by anger, though the reasons for this fury were unclear. This being was tormented by two unstable voices within his mind — one speaking of good, the other of evil. From this chaotic internal conflict, the Crimson Light was born, a holy yet ominous force that manifested across the cosmos.
The presence of the Crimson Light did not go unnoticed. Aazam, sensing its power, arrived to investigate. As he approached, the space around this mysterious being began to warp and distort, the sheer force of its aura disrupting reality itself. This being, whose origin was unknown even to Aazam, possessed a strange duality: a dark, gloomy essence, yet exuding a faint connection to the Heavenly Laws, the most powerful laws governing raw power and speed in the multiverse.
Without warning, the Crimson Light-being attacked Aazam. The god, unaccustomed to such an assault, was taken aback. The battle between the two titanic forces raged for 5 Quato years, with neither emerging as the victor. However, it soon became clear that the Crimson being's condition was deteriorating. In a final, desperate act, the being exploded, releasing a cataclysmic light that spread throughout the multiverse. This explosion was unlike any other — it was akin to a black nova, an event 10,000 times more powerful than a black hole, creating ripples across all dimensions.
As the explosion faded, and the remnants of the being's power dissipated into the cosmic sea, Aazam sensed another presence nearby — one far older and far more enigmatic. A deep voice echoed through the void: "Who dares to intrude upon the heavenly Creator?"
But no answer came. Instead, Aazam found himself suddenly transported to another place, a dimension dominated by the Void Law. The presence he sensed earlier manifested once again, but this time it was different. Unlike the Crimson Light-being, this new entity spoke with clarity and purpose.
"I am the light and the shadows of these worlds and domains," the figure said. "I am the law of Yin and Yang, the creator of all living beings — KUK."
KUK revealed himself as a primordial entity, a being who had existed alongside the creation of the multiverse, embodying the balance between light and darkness, order and chaos. While Aazam governed the laws of existence and the physical multiverse, KUK was the essence of duality, the cosmic balance that ensured harmony between opposing forces. His presence suggested a deeper layer to the multiverse's creation, a balance that even Aazam had not fully comprehend.
The Forsaken One:
After 10 Quato years had passed, an event of cosmic proportions shook the fabric of the multiverse. A collision between two cosmic seas created a rare and destructive event known as a universal nova. This devastating collision gave rise to the War of Two Laws — the Law of Frost and the Law of Shadows. These two laws, both immensely powerful, clashed with unparalleled intensity. Their battle tore through dimensions, but in the end, both disappeared without leaving a trace, their fates unknown.
The aftermath of this battle marked the beginning of the rule of the Cosmic Race, powerful beings created by Aazam himself. Tens of hundreds of Quato years passed, and in the very place where the two laws fought, a small, seemingly insignificant egg was found by the Law of Darkness. This egg was no ordinary object — it carried within it the seeds of unimaginable power.
The Law of Darkness cared for the egg, but on the day it hatched, misfortune befell the cosmic race. The newly born being brought disaster, as many cosmic beings were erased from existence and many more perished in mysterious ways. The birth of this entity signaled the arrival of the prophesied Forsaken God, Lucian.

Lucian - The Forsaken God:
Lucian, born from the remnants of the War of Two Laws, would later become known as the God of Hell in the story. His birth was a cataclysmic event that disrupted the balance of the multiverse. As soon as he came into existence, both Aazam, the Creator, and the Crimson Light took notice of him. Lucian was no ordinary being — he was born with the rare ability to wield three laws, a feat that few gods could ever achieve.
Lucian mastered the Law of Matter, the Law of Permafrost, and the Archdemon Law. These three laws granted him powers that rivaled even the strongest gods. Fueled by rage and confusion about his existence, Lucian set out to confront Aazam, the Creator, demanding answers for the circumstances of his birth and the misfortune that followed. With dark ooze seeping from his being, Lucian journeyed through the fabric of space and time, seeking the one who could provide him with the truth.
As Lucian approached the Holy Laws Library, a space where even the greatest beings felt powerless, a familiar aura greeted him. Though he could not place the memory, the feeling lingered as he entered the library. A voice echoed through the void, the unmistakable voice of Aazam: "I know the purpose of your visit, but it is not yet time for you to know what you are."
This declaration only deepened Lucian's fury. He had traveled across time and space for answers, yet here in the heart of the Holy Laws Library, he was powerless. Aazam's refusal to answer his questions drove him further into despair and rage, but there was nothing Lucian could do within the confines of this sacred place.
Following this encounter, Lucian retreated, disappearing into the cosmos. Another 100,000 Quato years passed, and during this time, Lucian continued to grow in strength, honing his three laws, waiting for the right moment to reveal his true power. In the mortal realms, a faint new law began to stir, a signal of the eventual return of Lucian and the chaos that would follow.

The Cosmic Balance and Ken's Kingdom:
As these cosmic events unfolded, the mortal world carried on. In the Kingdom of Lionheart, a new king, Ken, ascended the throne after defeating the previous ruler in a duel. Ken's reign was one of constant trials and challenges, as he navigated a world full of political intrigue and divine interference. While the gods watched from the cosmic sea, Ken's journey as a king intertwined with the greater cosmic forces.
Ken's mortal struggles, while important, were only part of the much larger picture. The birth of Lucian, the Forsaken God, signaled a looming conflict, one that threatened to shatter the multiverse. Aazam, the Creator, and KUK, the god of balance, were keeping a watchful eye on these developments, knowing that Lucian's power could upset the delicate balance of creation and destruction.

The Fate of the Multiverse:
With Lucian's powers growing and his inevitable return approaching, the cosmic forces braced for the battles to come. The multiverse, once stable under Aazam's rule, now faced a threat from within. The birth of new laws in the lower realms and Lucian's mastery of three powerful laws hinted at a future where the gods themselves may be forced to confront their creations.
Meanwhile, KUK, the mysterious god of balance and the law of Yin and Yang, continued to ensure that light and shadow remained in equilibrium. His role would soon become crucial, as Lucian's rise posed the greatest threat to this balance. The universe awaited the return of the Forsaken One, and when he emerged from the shadows, the multiverse would never be the same again.

Ken's Kingdom:
Ken's journey began as a young warrior, rising through the ranks of his kingdom. After much struggle and determination, he found himself standing at the pinnacle, becoming the king of his land. But this was no ordinary kingdom; it was the Kingdom of Lionheart, a realm famed for its annual King's Duel — a contest where the reigning king would defend his title against challengers. The kingdom's fate rested on the victor, and so, the challenge was never taken lightly.
Ken had always been an ambitious fighter, and when the time came for him to face the reigning king in a duel, he stepped forward with the confidence of someone who had already won. The battle was fierce, the air thick with tension, as the king and Ken exchanged powerful blows. Despite being younger and less experienced, Ken's raw talent and determination saw him through, ultimately defeating the king and claiming his crown.
The moment Ken ascended the throne, however, his challenges didn't end. He soon found himself drawn into a web of politics, warfare, and divine influence. The Kingdom of Lionheart, though mighty, was surrounded by powerful neighbors, including the Frostpalace Kingdom, known for its aggressive expansion. Ken had to navigate not only the physical threats to his kingdom but also the complex relations between the divine forces that governed the world.

The Duel with Jully:
One of the most significant figures in Ken's journey is Jully, a fierce and skilled warrior who had long admired Ken's prowess. A challenger by nature, she sought to test herself against him after his victory over the former king. Their rivalry was intense, with each encounter pushing both to their limits.
Ken's powers were immense, but Jully's fighting techniques, honed through years of training, were nearly unrivaled. When she challenged him to a duel, it was not just a test of strength but a matter of pride, as Jully sought to prove that even the king could be dethroned. To ensure a fair fight, her father — a powerful being — sealed her power to the Law Master Realm, ensuring the battle was fought on even ground.
The two faced off in the royal arena, surrounded by a crowd eager to witness this legendary clash. Ken, exhausted from his previous battles, took to the fight with a mixture of excitement and caution. His speed and technique dazzled the crowd as he unleashed his Crimson Dash, and his swordsmanship was second to none. But Jully, with her quick thinking and use of the Law of Sound, kept him on his toes. Their fight was a whirlwind of speed and precision, each one pushing the other to their limits.
In the end, Ken's overwhelming strength and strategic use of his abilities prevailed, landing a crushing blow that sent Jully crashing to the ground. Despite her defeat, the battle had shown Ken the depths of his own abilities, and he was left with a profound respect for his opponent.

A New Era Begins:
Now, as Ken stands as the new king of Lionheart, the challenges only grow more complex. His ascension to the throne comes with political intrigues, external threats, and the ever-present influence of the gods. Ken's reign is just beginning, and while he may be a king on the outside, the trials of ruling — and surviving — are far from over.
The world of Creation Tree continues to turn, and Ken's story is only one of many. As the gods watch from their cosmic vantage points, their plans for the multiverse unfold, each divine being playing their part in the grand tapestry of existence. But for Ken, his journey is clear: to protect his kingdom, challenge his limits, and uncover the mysteries of a world far larger than he ever imagined.
