What if our world wasn't created by gods with good intentions?
It's very common for people, especially religious ones, to imagine that our world was created out of goodwill.
Created by a being, or BEINGS, who only wish the best for us… But what if things weren't like that?
What if these beings who created us, just as they did with many other worlds, became bored from one day to the next?
What would they be capable of doing to entertain themselves?
What would become of all the worlds they created?
Don't worry, let me clear up your doubts...
In the year 2020, the first catastrophe happened—
—All the cities and major metropolises of the continent were attacked by unknown creatures, with each city being attacked by groups of beings with different physical and supernatural abilities.
On that day, humanity almost perished…
Everyone who lived through this era remembers the red sky that covered our world, they still hear the sounds of various explosions and buildings being demolished in the capital, and everyone has etched in their minds the moment when it all—
—ended—
A few years after the tragedy began, a group of children were born with extraordinary supernatural abilities, and over time, other people began to be born with powers and abilities that were named "RUNES."
These people grew up and rose from the wreckage to fight against the creatures from the other world.
Thus bringing victory and the return of human society…
Stolen novel; please report.
Nowadays, each city has three individuals who are primarily responsible for protecting the region in case of attacks from the other world.
The "Three Protectors" are responsible for dealing with the leaders of the attacks, while other agents with weaker RUNES are responsible for rescuing civilians.
And so society sustains itself…
In 2042, the world is still struggling to maintain the little comfort that citizens can have.
But in a world where life insurance becomes a must-have instead of an option, I wonder how long this can last?
In a dark abyss where only the stars emit light that gets lost in the void, a conversation unfolds between some beings:
A???: "Last month our show had a very abrupt ending... I wonder if we're getting too soft with them."
H?????: "Rather than us getting soft, I believe the humans have become stronger. The episodes are having longer intervals, but all the characters are equally powerful... some even more than others!"
L??????: "BUT DOESN'T THAT MAKE THINGS MORE EXCITING??? MWAHAHAHA! I'VE NEVER HAD SO MUCH FUN WATCHING THEM FIGHT AS I DO NOW! BETTER THAN SEEING THEM BEING SQUASHED LIKE ANTS SO EASILY!!! MWAHAHAHA"
W?????: "...."
A???: "You've been very quiet lately, is there something you wish to tell us?" The creature speaks seriously to the other being on the opposite side of the abyss.
W?????: "…I just don't understand the fun."
A???: "....?" H?????: "....!?" L??????: "....?"
W?????: "Don't you think that the more characters we lose, the less entertainment we have?"
L??????: "MWAHAHAHA! EXPLAIN YOURSELF BETTER, OLD LADY!"
H?????: "I believe I didn't understand your logic, could you elaborate?"
All these great powerful entities in the middle of the darkness remain silent, waiting for the response of the one who questioned her peers with an apparently incomprehensible idea.
W?????: "…It's just that, I'm tired of getting immersed in a story, only to see it ending so quickly."
L??????: "MWAHAHAHA I LAUGH AT THIS NONSENSE!!! EVEN IF THE CHARACTERS DIE, WE HAVE ZILLIONS OF OTHERS!!! WHY ALL THE MELANCHOLY????"
The entity, seeing her colleagues making light of her thoughts, falls silent...
A???: "I think it's time for you to go, we're busy and we know well that you won't help in the production of the next episode."
W?????: "…Very well, I take my leave." The entity, after saying this, disappears, leaving only her colleagues alone in that part of the void.
Two portals then form in the middle of the darkness, one of the powerful beings in that void pinches the air between his cosmically large fingers and, moving them, creates a line of energy that connects both portals to each other.
A???: "There's much to do… I hope you're prepared!"
And then, the light goes out.
