Orclion

Existence was divided into three realms.

The Heavenly Realm. The Earthen Realm. The Infernal Realm.

Below them, countless minor realms of all types existed, none able to match the might of any of the Three Fundamental realms.

The Celestials led the Heavenly Realm, The Immortals led the Earthen Realm and Demons led the Infernal Realm while the Rulers controlled all the minor realms.

Together, they formed The Myriad Unity and allowed peace to reign supreme.

The mortals were allowed to cultivate and reach for the Heavens as a balance was installed between the Heaven and Earth, all according to the Heaven’s Will.

And yet, among the billions of trillions of living beings within the Myriad Unity, one seemed unsatisfied.

“They are lying to us.”

This man went against all known truths and contradicted the very gods.

“We are in a false world! Mere pawns used to study an outcome!”

And so in search of freedom and truth, this man committed the ultimate taboo.

He rebelled.

Against The True Gods

What Caine met was nothing like what he'd expected.

What formed in front of him, unlike before, was a copy of the present him, but not just any copy.

The figure finished forming, and at the same time, upon the marble table separating them, a chessboard appeared.

Long black hair, elusive silver eyes, a tall, tempered frame draped in white robes—it was him.

Caine met his clone's gaze, and the clone met his. It was strange. While he could tell this was a perfect replica of him, he also knew something was off.

There was something uncanny about this clone… something eerie and inhuman.

Uriel walked over to the marble table's side, intently looking at them both before speaking.

He pointed at the chessboard. "A Summoner's Gambit, or in simple words, Chess Necro-Games."

"A simple game of chess played on four dimensions that involves one's summons."

He paused, allowing the announcement to settle before continuing.
