~ There was a story about great heroes. They always won in the end, like heroes in Japanese comics and cartoons and manga, but in this story something happened. The hero failed and all his friends were killed by a cruel entity. The hero fought for an immeasurable amount of time. My real mother and father died, the people who killed them didn't dare kill me and gave me to a prostitute, she was a good mother, she was very beautiful, with long blonde hair and blue eyes She had a Hindu swastika symbol tattooed on her arm and it represented happiness. She told me that a pentagram is often used to represent luck. She really tried hard to give me a good life, but I think she knew deeply that this life would not work out. She was stabbed and I was adopted by my grandfather Magnus, a rich billionaire. He took very good care of me, like a real father, and I had a grandmother who also took care of me, she was like a second mother, my grandparents were Jewish, although I never believed in God, I knew I had the power and became a hero. Saved the planet countless times, made friends and family. But one day everything changed when He came. He comes, His presence destroys everything, and only madness emanated from Him. The mere utterance of Z'algatoth's name destroys reality and spontaneously causes a black blur of tentacles and parasites to appear, completely distorting the bodies of everyone nearby. The sky turns red and the walls begin to become covered in blood. It has been shown that the mere sight of corruption can cause a person to slowly descend into madness. Z'algatoth himself can destroy at least an entire planet and possibly the entire universe just by wishing. Corrupted people destroy their minds. He killed my friends and beheaded them in front of me, he tortured me and brought my dead foster mother back to life only to rape her in front of me. Billions of years ago I called the different names he gave, Z'algatoth was one of them. Today is the last battle between me and him. I wandered through the ruined world, all the people I knew are dead, the sky has turned crimson, the air is poisonous, it is harmful to every form of life, its sun has turned into total darkness, the black sun, I walk on the earth, I still live with my determination, my determination made me survive this horror to prevent this evil being from destroying other universes, but did it help? My name is Xeno.

Xeno: Hm...

Watchman: What is it?

Xeno: I remember when the sky was blue, it was beautiful, but today it is....

Jennifer: Terrible?

Andromeda: We weren't prepared for that....

Jennifer: Even if we were, we would still fail.

Xeno: If I were stronger, I could save you. I

Andromeda: Do you remember when we first met?

Xeno: I remember you came to give me my father's letter... you were so nice and elegant.

Andromeda: I was a little arrogant back then, but... I liked you very much.

Ana: I remember that you used to train with my father.

Xeno: Your father was always a father to me, he took care of me and educated me.

Jennifer: Why so nostalgic?

Ana: He's coming.

Watchman: But a struggle... how much longer in this endless cycle, Hope.

Xeno: Don't call me by that name, you know I'm not worthy of it.

Watchman: I am sorry, but you must understand that you are entertainment for him at best.

Xeno: I've kept you prisoner here as long as I can keep this up, everything else will be safe. But if it works, everything will be different from today.

~ A woman in black armor approached, her face covered by a dark helmet. She rode into battle on a white horse, carrying her twin spears and a shield. As Z'algatoth approached Xeno, Xeno could hear the screams of the souls trapped inside Z'algatoth, it was a terrible and disturbing sound.

Z'algatoth: Talking to yourself? I've left you so sequestered that you've gone mad? Hahaha.

Xeno: Keep talking, you can't leave here.

Z'algatoth: Honestly, all this suffering is unnecessary, just give up and die alone without friends and family.

Xeno: I am determined, but for this .... But you know, today is different.

Z'algatoth: Why fight but? The whole universe is disintegrating. The order of the universe is broken. The human infestation is gone.

Xeno: Z'algatoth, I never understood why you destroyed my world? Why did you kill all the people I love?

Z'algatoth: I like to see suffering and this too is revenge against its creator.

Xeno: My creator is not even alive.

~ Xeno fires his heat vision, but Z'algatoth defends herself easily and reaches up and grabs Xeno's head.

Z'algatoth: I am the end of time! I am the Dark Lord, the destroyer. I say this is over. Farewell, Xeno, you were a good toy, but I got tired.

Xeno: You couldn't kill me Z'algatoth, what makes you think you will?

~ Z'algatoth creates a sword as he was about to use it, and is attacked by a Xeno clone and surrounded by several clones.

Z'algatoth: Do you really want to buy this fight? Hahaha.

Xeno: It's not a fight, it's goodbye.

Z'algatoth: Huh? What's this ?! You set a trap for me?

~ A force field begins to surround Z'algatoth's body and his body begins to disappear. Z'algatoth was being sealed, but Z'algatoth didn't get off so easily, his body began to undergo a transformation. A giant spider with some tentacles and an avatar to exploit Xeno's fear of spiders.

Z'algatoth: You will not seal me!!! Xeno: I will!

Z'algatoth: Xeno, you thought you saved the other worlds?

Xeno: Huh?

Z'algatoth: There is no life but you, your efforts to protect the multiverse have been in vain!

Xeno: No, no!

~ Xeno struggles, but the screams get louder. Not wanting to seal himself off, Z'algatoth tries his last move. Z'algatoth summons some souls.

ANNE: Xeno?

Xeno: Ana! My friends? Xeno: Grandma? Grandpa? Andromeda: The last thing I remember is my death... he ....

Z'algatoth: Xeno, if you seal me up, your friends will go with me, imagine how long I'll torture them .... hahahah! With me the fun is eternal!

Vergil: Brother! If he doesn't, how many other worlds will he destroy? We seal them!

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

Z'algatoth: No!

~ Xeno increases his power by sealing Z'algatoth once, but before he is fully sealed.

Z'algatoth: Do you think you can leave without consequences?

Xeno: Are the screams in my head?!

Z'algatoth: My gift to you! Hahahaha!

~ Xeno had finally sealed Z'algatoth into his story and was cast out of his story and plunged into an endless void. Although Xeno had succeeded, sealing Z'algatoth, what did it matter? His friends, his family, all dead. Xeno found himself in a place outside of creation, outside of any creation. a vast infinite space, a space beyond everything, a space beyond duality, a space that contains all the stories, all the myths, all the theories, all the ideas. in all the stories.... ...the white space.

Librarian: You seem to be lost, stranger.

Xeno: My world... I have lost what I had of my friends, my beloved family, my beloved wife.... I miss it.

Librarian: I'm sorry for your pain, stranger, but do you plan to stay here and wander through infinity? Or do you want the ability to stop what happened in your reality from happening in other realities? Stop evil from entering other worlds?

Xeno: I failed in my own, I don't know if I can save other worlds ...

Librarian: I understand your pain, stranger, you are someone who wants to die, but your will to earn the forgiveness of those who died will not let you. You saved the world and maybe one day you will find your redemption.

Xeno: This place is like a dream.

Librarian: Why... why are you so sure you're not dreaming?

Xeno: I... I can't explain it, but I know it's true. I know that I am not dreaming. I know that I am in a place, in this room, in a time when stories are contained.

Librarian: You are in a room or area of books, stranger. Books that contain infinite stories. Infinite universes. Infinite possibilities. But these stories that contain all the infinite universes do not have your friends and loved ones, these worlds are not yours, these worlds do not have the same people. Some of the infinite universes are not friendly to the human species.

Xeno: What am I going to do?

Librarian: Come with me.

Narrator: Xeno and the Librarian entered the library.

Librarian: There are several stories that are meta-narratives and our duty is to prevent unwritten changes to those stories.

Xeno: That means that the written stories cannot be changed. What happens when they are? Librarian: An error occurs, an error that consumes a story destroys the story.

Xeno: I understand.

Librarian: But you have another choice, Xeno. You can be united with god.

~ A masked man emerges from the shadows.

Xeno: God...! But weren't you dead?

God: I confess that I also thought I would die after facing Tempus, but it seems that my willpower was greater than I imagined.

Xeno: Why didn't you help my world?

God: I was weakened and was in a deep sleep, if it wasn't for your rising power I wouldn't have even woken up. Xeno, you sealed only one avatar, Z'algatoth has much stronger forms.

Xeno: so what do I do?

God: You have two choices join me and let's go to a new world, a new history, start over and do it better or join the Librarian and stop Rose from destroying other worlds.

Xeno: She destroyed my world for revenge against you. What happened between you two?

God: I don't know these memories, I can't access my true sealed form.

Xeno: God, use your powers and enter my mind.

God, why?

xeno: Just do it.

~ God entered Xeno's mind and he heard the screams that doesn't stop, the screams are constant.

God: what is it?! this is .... I...

xeno: i want the truth... because of him I have lost a lot!

God: believe me, I don't remember.

Xeno: librarian... I am with you.

Librarian: I looked at this place and my library is there, I'm coming.

~ Xeno entered the library while God and Librarian were facing each other.

Librarian: You lied to him.

God: I'm not lying, brother, I don't remember .

~ Xeno, after being recruited by the librarian, he is listening to his first mission, a mission to correct an anomaly in a story.

Librarian: I'll explain things quickly, white space and timeless place, so you can take your time to find your way around here.

Xeno: But are the people who live here?

Librarian: The library is like your own pocket universe with its flow of time and causality, it is also with its laws of physics, because in white space there is no time, no causality, there are not even the laws of physics.

Xeno: Understood, what is my mission?

Librarian: You have to go to the story called Alice in Wonderland.

Xeno: It's a classic story that my grandmother used to read to me.

Librarian: There has been a change in this story that attracts beings that are not originally from there, please investigate this for me.

Xeno: Okay, but first I want to see where my world is.

God: I am sorry, but our world has been destroyed, there is nothing, where it should be, there is nothing, but... I already tried to find it, but I couldn't, I don't know what happened, but our world disappeared ...

Xeno: How?! How could it have disappeared?!

God: I don't know..... Maybe the fence then changed where our world was.... Or maybe it destroyed our world?

Xeno: No! No! No, what have I done?

God: Calm down! Our world was already lost anyway, I'm sorry for everything, your efforts to protect it were admirable, but there's nothing left, not even the souls he devoured, the souls, the worlds are gone, there's nothing left to save, you at least stopped a powerful avatar from destroying other worlds.

Xeno: But why would he do that? Why is he destroying other worlds?

God: he can strengthen himself through the misery and death of others, he also absorbs worlds, which is also a possibility that could have happened to our world if his sealing had failed.... The fact is that he was weakened and needed more power he is also in search of the sword of balance....

xeno: I can't have failed the sealing.

God: Calm down, it's just a thought.

Watchman: Ask him what the sword of balance is.

Jennifer: He would already do that.

Xeno: Calm down, both of you!

God: Are you talking to us, Xeno?

Xeno: I... I'm just a little distracted but can you please go on with what you were talking about?

God: The sword of balance is a weapon forged with the power of Order is Chaos... With this weapon, there is no limit to its power.

Xeno: What else are you hiding?

God: I'm not hiding anything Xeno, be careful with your words, I won't accept your anger.

Xeno: My anger? My friends are dead, I have nothing, my world is gone, the screams that won't stop! I want answers!

God: I can't give you any answers, I'm sorry. I really don't remember this.

Librarian: The sword of balance was the weapon you used to seal our brothers is our mother.

God: wait, why?

Librarian: to protect freedom, if you didn't our mother would rule the stories, there would be no more freedom ... Anyway, you will remember things in your time, brother Xeno, I want you to understand that explaining things now will be really very complicated, many of the events are confusing even for me because of the sword, so now I ask you to trust me.

Xeno: ...wait, where is the sword?

God: I....

Librarian: You left the sword with me, brother.

God: I did?

Librarian: If you hadn't had that sudden memory loss and had it with the sword, Xeno might not have lost his world, but you told me there were consequences to using the sword.

God: I still can't remember.

Librarian: Eventually, you will. Xeno: God, where are you going now? God: I'm going to wander around until I find something interesting or think about what I'm going to do ...

Xeno: Do you even care that our world has been destroyed?!

God: I care! I sacrificed myself to save our world from Tempus! I'm leaving, I have no intention of staying, anyway this is our goodbye, Xeno.

~ God opened the portal and entered.

Xeno: I will complete the mission.

~ God wanders through the void looking for the perfect place? It's not just your excuse, in fact God is not sure of anything, when he created his first world he felt emotions, he felt passion, the death of the first world was important, but with the second world he felt nothing, almost a shell with no emotions, just living will. God didn't know what to do because he exists? he didn't even care about his children, maybe because he doesn't remember or because he doesn't care anymore, but? God wandered around for years until he thought of something.... God traveled through white space until he found a story, God entered it and started searching until he found who he was looking for.

God: Can we talk?

- What are you doing here?

God: I need to talk to someone, you can understand me, because we are similar, we even have the same name, God.

- You are in my world, so only I can be called God here.

God: I don't care, I will call myself z, if you want.

God: What happened?

Z: My world was destroyed, well, I feel nothing, no emotion, I lost my children, angels, but I feel nothing.

God: Maybe you do, but this is your way of overcoming the pain of loss.

Z: I don't know, everything is confused and I don't remember right.

God: What are you going to do now?

Z: I have no choice, I will create another world, with different rules.

God: Why?

Z: What would I do otherwise?

God: Do what you want, if you want to create a world, then do it.

Z: What happens when you die?

God: I don't know. Maybe it's better this way. What is the purpose of your life?

Z: Just to be? Is that enough?

God: Maybe that is enough to be. Can you think about that?

Z: I don't know. I have an idea. This world with its morals and its feelings has some value, so I will create a new world. My new laws will be such that people will live as they want to. I want people to have as much fun as possible. No destination, a world that interests me. It was great talking to you.

~ the world around z disappeared, not even z is sure if it was real or a hallucination, but it doesn't matter.

God walked and moved through white space until He came to a perfect place to create His own story, and when He entered, He began the process of creating the first angel. Before God created living things, He wanted a name, so He was called Jehovah, then He created Paradise. Then He wanted to create a perfect being, so He created the first being. A bright star at dawn.
