Who is Aether? Wasn’t he Leonardo just a while ago? No way… the Museum, him? He can’t survive in there. The number of beings and phenomena are absurd. A mere miner couldn’t possibly— From Leonardo to Aether, he is now a tour guide. Knock. Wake up. He is here to guide you, from the highest realm to the lowest era. He knows every hole, every cult, nothing too small or too hidden in a realm brimming with mysteries. His story—his original story—has brought together hundreds of races. His vision awakening in the Museum, his eyes shining as bright as stars upon opening them—was it heaven at first? It’s more like hell now. He’s diverged from his original path, now fully entangled in the Museum, no longer just an era, a mere thought, or a simple story. He is a practical officer among the five tour guides. The eras continue to form, the copies continue shaping concepts, and the sages continue to watch over 21 realms. But his story has only just begun. From floor to floor, wonder to wonder—he is lucky to be the son. From the brightest city to the farthest reaches of the 20th realm, evolution, an impediment to the term "growth," this is Aether. Your, yes, your, uninvited guest. https://discord.gg/Pjz9taHPjs. [Discord guys!!}

"If a "god" hurt the person you love... will you sharpen your knife? if a "god" sent you to "hell" ? will you claw your way up just to knock the "Heaven's Gate". Will you burn the "Heaven" for Love? If the only person you can call in desperation is your name and God who is in a deep slumber at the depths of your ordeals... Will you still stand up and fight? If death is imminent... Who's the person you will drag to hell with you to have a fine dining experience with Satan? How far are you willing to go for revenge? This will all be answered by me. Let me tell you a story of my descent to the false gods' dining table" This is heavily inspired by the recent events of a famous Filipino Pastor("anointed son of god, the last person who will sign your papers to go to heaven") who committed unspeakable crimes and atrocities, albeit inspired, there is no intention to make fun of abominable crimes, the victims, and the family that may be talked about in the story.
