Every living being is bounded by life and death, be it celestials or gods they can all die somehow and every living being is also bounded by their fate and destiny whether they create it themselves or they follow what was set in place.
However there is only one that isn't bounded by any them,a being that possesses both unlimited power and influence across every pantheon,realm, and world. They are known as the omnipotent.
The omnipotent is the only being that can do whatever it wants wherever it wants, a miracle power that can only exist one at a time. But with that miracle comes a sacrifice, the omnipotent can never pass on it's power to others or have any children to inherit it.
This is because the omnipotence within is the being itself and when it is passed on it will destroy the soul of whoever it is passed on to and the omnipotent will only gain another vessel for it to use.To many, it is a power they desire but to the omnipotent it is a curse.
Having to live with a power that can create anything but not have everything is something that only the omnipotent can understand and others don't.
On a mountain overlooking the stars above and the land below stood the omnipotent,the omnipotent has taken many forms but its current appearance is that of a woman with long white hair and glowing light blue eyes.
The omnipotent stood at the edge of the mountain with a small bundle in her arms,a baby boy."Are you sure you want to do this?"asked a figure from behind the woman."Yes"the omnipotent replied while looking at the boy in her arms with love.
"What about the consequences of what you have done? You sacrificed half of your own life to give the boy a chance to live as his own entity?"asked the figure."What I did was sacrifice half of my omnipotence to create a chance for my son, a chance for him to not be burdened with the same curse I have had to live with, I have already given him the other half of my omnipotence that I converted for him to have his own will".
"But in doing so you are condemning your own child to uncertain dangers!!!!!, him having only half of your omnipotence means that he can still die and if his existence is known while he is vulnerable others will hunt him and kill him or worse!!".said the figure with anger in his voice."Yes, I know and that's why I want you along with a mortal to raise him in this land I created*sigh* the things I do for my son"chuckled the omnipotent"I'm sure you can tell but this land is in another dimension that is hard for any being to find unless they appear by some freak accident"said the omnipotent with a smile on her face, and the figure stood with a face of disbelief.
"The reason I chose you is because you can raise my son to grow knowing what he is, and the reason I want a mortal to raise him as well is for him to know that death can still occur".said the omnipotent."I want you to promise me to raise him as your own and to never use him for your own convenience".the figure stood pondering for moment before having a look of resolution"By my name God Emporer Nolas, I will raise the child of the great omnipotent as my own and to never use him in any way!"said Nolas.

The omnipotent smiled brightly"Make sure he doesn't grow up to be as stiff as you alright? Well I guess that's what the mortal can teach him.Now, can you leave us alone for a bit? I want to say my final goodbyes, oh and his name is Erae". Said the omnipotent with a sad look starting to appear on her face.Nolas nodded and disappeared from them.
"I'm sorry I won't be there to see you grow little Erae, make sure you grow to know what it is to love and be loved by others" each word barely coming out as tears fall from her face"Make sure you live with the freedom you deserve" as her body starts to fade, she hugs Erae tighter and continues"There's so much to say but so little time.Erae,dream not of what you are, but of what you want to be, goodbye now my son"before she disappeared she gave Erae one last kiss on his forehead and soon only the sound of a baby's cries could be heard.
"So the omnipotent is really gone"said Nolas as he looked at the boy with a sad look."I'll have to tell the celestials and gods about this when Erae is old enough to take care of himself,for now I need to find a mortal"said Nolas as he started flying away with Erae.
Among all the immortals the celestials and gods are the ones who know about the omnipotent the most, News of the omnipotent's death would shake them all and with it being so sudden it would have a much larger impact.While the omnipotent did do whatever it liked it still helped the gods and celestials a lot of the time with their problems, gods had to take care the worlds that the mortals reside in while the celestials protect the realms of each world to keep the balance from breaking and destroying them.
As Nolas was thinking about how to choose the mortal, after thinking for a lot of time while tending to Erae he finally decided to find a mortal who's had to live with multiple reincarnations,it would be easy as Nolas had to meet him a couple of times due to his reincarnation.Soon Nolas decided to just bring the mortal to Erae's dimension.
"Woah!!! What the hell where am I!?!?!"asked the mortal with panic and nervousness at the sudden change in environment."Calm down Alexander, I'm the one that brought you here"said Nolas with a chuckle."huh?? God Emperor Nolas? Why did you bring me here and what's with that kid you're holding, an affair of yours I assume?"Nolas's brows twitched at the comment but calmed down and explained the situation they were currently in.
"I see, so you want me to help raise the kid huh, quick question Why me though? Why didn't you choose a woman to help take care of him?"asked Alexander with great curiosity and Nolas sighed before replying"I chose you because unlike me you don't have any particular responsibility and you're a mortal whose strong enough to contend with a god, you can protect him well while I'm not here, in the meantime we need to keep his existence and the omnipotent's death a secret so he won't be in much danger.Right now he only posses half omnipotence which means he can still die" said Nolas with great importance and Alexander nodded"Alright I'll do it........does the kid have a name?"Asked Alexander."Erae..his name is Erae"
