In a prehistoric age when all things in the world had no names,
God descended.
God created life, reason, light...
He separated the darkness, and brought life from the underwater cradle to land.
He bestowed language upon the ape-men, freeing them from the realm of beasts.
He chose the first prophet of the world, who led the entire civilization's history, the descendants of the prophet later established a great nation.
......
In the golden age that followed, people left God and dispersed across the world.
Many things were forgotten, leaving history to be buried by time.
Yet life is a return.
People will eventually remember,
In this story, God first loved the world.

Only God

Dertulian walked to the food storage on the ship, staring at the cow.


Antion had once relayed a prophecy from Kagawus, which stated that a cow must not be killed, for to kill it would surely invite disaster.


Dertulian stepped forward, caressing the back of the cow, which lowered its head and meekly ate the feed.


"Killing it would beckon disaster... but are the Gods not compelling us to kill this cow?"


Dertulian's eyes were bloodshot, and like the others from Logos, he suffered the torment of hunger, and sometimes, to appease the people, he even had to share his own portion of food.


But before the panic brought by hunger, all those struggles were fruitless.


"Gods... are you forcing me to kill this cow to give yourselves a sufficient reason to bring down disaster?"


Those Gods of unknown origins, committing such acts, issuing such prophecies, were not only for the people of Logos but for themselves too.
