In a world teetering on the edge of total annihilation, where the Goddess summons champions from distant realms to fend off monstrous forces, Shin—a seemingly ordinary boy—finds himself unwillingly thrust into the role of Hero. But unlike the tales of heroic triumph he once dreamed of, this otherworldly journey quickly reveals itself as a waking nightmare. Plunged into a brutal and unforgiving realm rife with political machinations, brutal warfare, and social prejudice, Shin must struggle to survive and carve his own path. Under the ruthless tutelage of seasoned warriors, commanders, and priests, he begins to uncover shocking truths that threaten to unravel everything he once believed. The Goddess, who many revere as the guiding light of salvation, may not be the benevolent force they all believe her to be, but a manipulative entity pulling strings from the shadows, hiding behind the guise of divinity. As Shin grows stronger—both in physical might and in the harsh realities he faces—he begins to question everything, including his very identity as the Hero. With allies who have their own secrets, including the battle-hardened Bajar, the enigmatic archmage Belldia, and the tragic General Charles, Shin finds himself at the center of a growing war where the lines between hero and villain blur, and every decision could cost him his humanity. With time running out, and his enemies closing in, Shin’s struggle becomes a fight not just for survival, but for the truth. In the end, he must confront the Goddess herself, but in a world where power is measured by more than just strength, can Shin truly defeat the divine force that set him on this path? And what price will he pay for his victory—if he even survives it? This novel is authored by [LIMITLESSCHAD] and is submitted to Royal Road as the original work.

Have you ever discovered the true nature of the world we live in? I’m trying to depict it in a world of my own creation, portraying the world we live in from a different perspective—one that is more sinful—through many stories. There is sorrow, joy, hope, and despair; these elements allow you to view things more objectively, from the world of my imagination to the world we inhabit. This is a story with a fairly simple template about the battle between what is considered good and what is considered evil. But can you tell me: What truly is good? What truly is evil?

In the beginning, before time, space, or existence, there was only **The First**, the primordial god who existed in solitude. He was the source of all creation, the infinite being who birthed the universe from His own essence. Though boundless in power and needing no assistance, He chose to create other gods and goddesses to share His responsibilities and bring balance to the vast cosmos. **The First** began by shaping time, then dimensions, and finally the universe itself. He crafted stars, planets, and all celestial bodies, giving each its place in the grand design. Yet, despite His omnipotence, He sought companionship and delegation, not out of necessity, but as an act of will. Thus, He created the **Primordial Pantheon**, gods and goddesses who would oversee the many facets of existence: 1. **Super Solar** - The god of heat and fire, who controlled the sun and all things that burned with energy. 2. **Ray Of Light** - The god of illumination, master of light and all that shone within the cosmos. 3. **Amor Venerem** - The goddess of love, who wove the threads of affection and connection among all beings. 4. **Tenebrae Lunae Est Proserpinae** (Goddess Luna) - The goddess of darkness and the moon, who ruled over night and the mysteries hidden within shadows. These deities, though divine and powerful, were not perfect. They possessed wills, desires, and the capacity for creation themselves. Over time, unions among the gods birthed new beings, expanding the pantheon and spreading influence across the realms of existence. Among these descendants were gods and goddesses who wielded dominion over critical aspects of life and death: - **Deus Caeli**: The goddess of heaven and protector of paradise. - **Ponderibus**: The god of judgment, who balanced good and evil at the gates of the afterlife. - **Mundus Mortis**: The god of the realm of the dead, who managed wandering souls and the passage to judgment. - **Infernum**: The god of hell, ruler of torment and punishment for the wicked. ### **The Rise of Saikō-shin** Unbeknownst to **The First**, His decision to delegate power planted the seeds of change. Among the pantheon, one god or goddess was destined to surpass Him—a being whose ambition and strength would disrupt the divine hierarchy. This deity, known as **Saikō-shin** (the Supreme God), was prophesied to emerge as the next ruler of all creation. Unlike the other gods, Saikō-shin possessed a unique trait: the ability to evolve beyond the limits set by **The First**. This evolution was not driven by rebellion but by the natural progression of existence itself. Saikō-shin’s rise began subtly, as they mastered the realms under their control. They united the pantheon, balancing chaos and order, light and darkness, love and judgment. Their influence grew, and with it, the realization that the cosmos demanded a new ruler—one capable of guiding existence into the next era. **The First**, though all-knowing, did not resist this change. He understood that creation was ever-evolving and that His time as the sole god had reached its conclusion. In an act of divine surrender, He passed His power and title to Saikō-shin, who ascended to the throne as the Supreme God. With the ascension of Saikō-shin, the cosmos entered a new era. While **The First** retreated into the void from which He came, His presence remained as a silent watcher, ensuring balance and continuity. Under Saikō-shin's rule, the universe flourished, guided by a new vision and the lessons of its divine predecessors. Thus, the cycle of creation and succession began, ensuring that divinity itself would never grow stagnant, forever adapting to the needs of existence.

... “ You're going to ignore the warning!” Nasser cried in utter horror. “ We will die all in here then!” “ I would rather we all die than survive by throwing a child into the sea, if that even worked!” The captain countered, voice booming over the storm. “ It will! Our ship will survive the Great One's wrath!” The sailors split into two groups, those who believed in Nasser’s words, and those who thought it absurd to just sacrifice a kid to the sea. Arguments began to break here and there. A pair of blue eyes squinted at them all with such intensity that they seemed to have swallowed their own tongues. The man then turned on the older one. “ You’re turning in circles, old Nasser!” The captain placed a hand firmly on his shoulder. “ You go back inside, I’ll make sure you stay alive. But I'm not as heartless as to sacrifice a kid for a storm. Take him back in, Sin-” The captain broke off as he turned around, eyes flicking in search of a certain pair of golden eyes among the ones staring at him. He found none. “ Sindbad? Where is he?” The sailors looked around the deck, but still no shadow of the boy.
