My name is Azrael Veyrin. Once, I was just a man—an ordinary life, a loving family, and a peaceful end at 87. Or so I thought. I awoke in Akshak, an empty, lifeless world. Alone at first, I later witnessed the arrival of eleven beings—gods who shaped the land, each crafting a realm in their own image. Yet, I remained unseen, an anomaly even among deities. For 576.4 billion years, I wandered unnoticed—until they discovered the truth: I was the first, predating even them. Fearful of my existence, they sought to erase me. A war erupted, lasting 100,000 years. One by one, the gods fell. Only I remained. In victory, I found the Origin Core, unlocking lost truths: Earth had once been part of this world, sacrificed for its rebirth. My soul had been chosen to guide its evolution. With the gods' power now mine, I ventured into the void, seeking other realms, other Origin Cores—to forge a world of my own design.
