Once their was nothing but darkness, this continued for thousands of years until one of the young gods proposed an idea to the other in an attempt to satisfy his growing bordem, this idea was the concept of 'life'. At first the other gods were conflicted on the idea resulting in arguments to break out between them until it was finally settled that this young gods idea would go through a trial period of sorts in order to come to some type of agreement with all parties.

-god who idea: god of mischief-

As the gods made the nessecary preperations to make this plan a success, the young god watched the universe being bornbefore his eyes... It was truly breathtaking. On the 5th day the gods had finally created the project, it was marvelous and beautiful. However this satisfaction and beauty started to once again grow boring for the young god, so once again he went by himself to think of ways in order to fill this growing void of bordem he was experiencing. On the 7th day the young god had finally finished his creation. "i think ill name it Zero" and that was how the first of his kind was born, Humans. Of course the young god recieved no premission from the others but he made the creation regardless and decided to sneak his creation on the closest planet to him at that time what happened to be earth. Knowing that the other gods would eventually diiscover him, he set zero a list of rules to abide in order to try and avoid possible destruction from the others.

-RULES-

1. Pray and leave offerings every day to the respected gods.

2. Never lie or decieve others

3. Be honourable

4. Be loyal

5. Never comit viloence for evil intentions

When the other gods finally discovered zero they were strangely intrigued to see a being with intellegence and looks that closly resembeld theirs just without the celestrial powers. This shocked the young god, but gave him a sense of pride for his creation that he had spent making. WHen they asked for the creatures name the young god puffed up his chest with pride and replied, "His name is, Zero of the humans". Zeus, the oldest god walked up to the young god and praised him for the first time "Well done Xerath, the god of michief. Zero truly is a marvelous creation". This statment solidified that the creation he had made would remain, this lifted a weight of Xeraths shoulders givng him a sense of relief and pride.

Years would pass and Zero never failed to offer prayers and stick to the rules he was given no matter the weather or situation. THis unwavering loyalty he displaied pleased the gods, so much so that they came to a unaminous desicion to gift the young mortal with the gift of imortality and other life such as animals and other humans so zero could finally socialise and live a happier life. This pleased Zero for many years, in fact he started his own family and lived a happy life for quiet some time. However, as he watched the world start to flourish with the gods creations of animals plants and other humans, Zero began to grow tired. Tired of watching everything eventually reaching its end his family included. This grew the once proud Zero to feel depressed and lonely.

One of the gods eventually noticed this predicemnet that Zero was going through and decided to decend to earth disguising itself as a majestic phoniex like ccreature. "My son, why are you in pain. Are you not satisfied with what we have given you? the riches?, imortality?, other life? and much more. What else could you possibly desire child? Zero replied with a pained and guilty expression on his face. "I am tired, tired of life. I have watched generations of all life forms grown just to later die while i am to remain here. I have grown envious of them. I apologise your majesty its just that your blessing of immortality has started to feel more like a curse in these recent years." This puzzeled the god greatly leaving him completly speachless to the child.

**Two Hours Later**

The god finally broke the silence, "My son, I will do this for you. But under one condition, You must find someone you truly love and experience life to its fulliest with this person. That is when you dream will be achieved, you will grow old and die like all the other mortals as youve wished. After the god was finished with explaining the conditions Zero was required to meet in order to be free of his imortality the gods earthly form evaporated into the passing breeze, leaving just as fast as he came. Zero didnt realise at the time this challange would be much harder and pain stacking then anything he had done in his life. Afterall many centuries of being alive with nothing else matching his lifespan had numbed his heart into a cold icy cage. Zero then proceeded to pack his few belongings and depart on a jouney to find this "true love" the god mentioned so he could finally be at peace.
