There once was a time where the universe was completely empty, and there was nothing at all. Although this is a hard concept for us humans, and mortals to understand - and even furthermore think about, it is a true one. But of course, as we all know, it no longer is. As, after a while, some things did come to be - mand our universe, a once empty void, soon became a bustling home. But, a home, to what? Well, the first lifeforms were stars. Back then, they were called Hoshi, and they were beautiful little entities. But, an even larger thing ruled over them. With its original name lost to time, us humans now call this beast, Daihoshi, or, “The Great Star”. In occidental thinking, Daihoshi can be compared to the concept of God - and that, Daihoshi was. Daihoshi led the Hoshi on great voyages through the universe, and was the reason that the universe even exists. For, in the void Daihoshi was born from atomic clumps, and got bored on his own. Now, with the Hoshi, Daihoshi was finally social - and formed the Hoshigo language. But, soon, more was to come. You see, the Hoshi did provide entertainment to our ancestral father, but not enough. Just like us, he eventually get bored of stuff, and was in desperate need of something new. Thus, the Shinhoshi were made. Literally, ‘ New Star ‘, these beings were just like Hoshi, but more creative, and unique in thought. Whereas the Hoshi were completely obedient and following of Daihoshi, the Shinhoshi did some of that - but ultimately, wanted to explore off on their own. Daihoshi would love to sit back with the Hoshi, and watch the Shinhoshi explore - but that was all they did. Alas, Daihoshi once again got bored. Now, he wanted something that would coin the term - ‘ fun ‘. So, he gave life to yet another group of lives, This time, they were the Chihoshi, or, ‘ Small Stars ‘. The Chihoshi, almost akin to the Shinhoshi, were slightly away from Daihoshi, but even more so. They barely visited, and paid respects to him - instead, preferring the idea of play. It was enjoyable to watch them play, until, just like prior, it wasn’t. At first, Daihoshi of course thought of creating a new species type of Hoshi, but then realised something;
Everytime that he did make a new Hoshi type, they would grow even further from him, and his entertainment would last very little in him - until there was nothing fun at all.
So, Daihoshi thought of another brilliant plan. Instead of building a species based off of another, he would create an entirely new one. First, he moulded a home for them - that would become known as Earth, or, Tera, and then - he filled it up. Tera soon became overrun with plants, water, and finally, the new creation, jin - or, people. The jin explored the world in great amount, and were fully obedient to Daihoshi. They soon even began a habit of praying - and would build beautiful places to do so. To congratulate the jin, Daihoshi built a beautiful garden that would become known as Sekai. Sekai was a wonderful, and luxurious garden, full of beautiful houses - pathways, and temples. The people were kind, and every man and woman was granted a listening Hoshi, as a slave. Life was great, and everyday, Daihoshi would grant new gifts upon the marvellous peoples. That was of course, until one day.
One day, in the midst of his generosity, Daihoshi created a new race of existence, known simply, as ‘ The Beasts ‘.
The beasts, despite their name, were calm and docile creatures of majesty, who would never hurt a soul. At first, they started off small, but Daihoshi created even larger and abstract beasts. Soon, the average beats became known as Animals, and the craziest, were deemed, the Wilders.

The Wilders may have been kind, but they evoked fear and terror into the people. Eventually, even after being told about their calmness by the Hoshi, and even Daihoshi himself, multiple times, the jin still feared the Wilders. And thus, war began. The first weapons known to man were made. They were tools. Tools with one intention - the intention to kill.
The jin would gather in large groups, and with spears, and more, they would attack and kill Wilders. Later, they would cook them for supper. The Hoshi, their slaves, refused to eat the Wilders, and advised against killing Wilders - but the jin did not listen. Even more so, they refused to listen to Daihoshi, who told them the same. Eventually, they stopped praying, being holy, clean, and pure, and lost all faith in a higher entity. With this sin, became borne. Men and women would commit bad actions, and use status as markers, and do even worse. As the problem worsened, in private with the Hoshi, Daihoshi finally made the decision to rid the world of the jin, once and for all. But somehow, through some means, this message got out to the jin. And, when they heard this message, they were not happy at all.
They began to sin even more - commit worse crimes, and nearly drive all Wilders to extinction. As time passed, the day came. The day of wrath upon the jin had arrived, and Daihoshi was prepared. First though, to prepare, Daihoshi made all the Wilders die. In this way, the people had no food. As for the souls of the wilders, they were stored in glass balls, or, marbles, to be unleashed and reincarnated later. But for now, Daihoshi took away the water of the people. With no water, the people had nothing to drink. To add to this chaos, Daihoshi removed all of the plants from Sekai - and the people went bare naked.
Next, Daihoshi brought sand, and then strong wind. The sand would make it hard to walk, and when the wind struck, the sand would blind a person, and get inside of them.
Lastly, Daihoshi made Sekai infested with enormous bugs, who breathed in oxygen like the jin, but instead of breathing about Carbon Dioxide - breathed out an extremely hot gas. Thus, the once beautiful and oh-so-astonishing land of Sekai, became a dry, hot, and bug infested desert with absolutely no plantlife, or food to eat. The conditions were completely unlivable - and just as Daihoshi had planned for them to do, the jin moved out.
Outside of Sekai, the world may have been habitable, but it was not easy. Tera was a dangerous place to live out in the wild. It was full of new beasts, and now, they could not rely on Daihoshi to save them. But they could rely on one thing.
Somehow left behind, on the outskirts of Tera, was a marble containing a spirit of a Wilders. If only they could unlock and tame it - would they have a saviour. Thus, began the race to open the marble. Or, as they called it, the Hikidama. So, to be more proper, thus began -
THE HIKIDAMA RUSH
