The Origin

In the beginning, the omnipotent Absolute, boundless and eternal, forged the universe. With a mere thought, he breathed life into the cosmos and created four gods to govern its balance. These gods presided over four distinct domains: Calamity, Time, Peace, and Dragons. To ensure they would not abuse their power, Absolute created four sacred relics to bind and regulate their abilities. These relics were bestowed upon humanity to safeguard their use and maintain harmony.

Eons passed, and on Earth, three powerful races emerged: the Hollow, the Nile, and the Vast. These races coexisted in peace, their civilizations thriving under the watchful guidance of the gods. Each nation possessed a relic, entrusted by Absolute, while the fourth relic remained hidden, its location known only to the gods. These relics allowed the races to summon the gods for wisdom and aid, though a strict rule dictated that only one relic could be used at a time. Breaking this rule would disrupt the balance of energy, threatening to unravel the world itself.

But peace is a fragile thing. Over time, whispers of power and greed grew louder. The leader of the Hollow race, consumed by ambition, betrayed the other leaders during a summit to decide the fate of the final relic. Striking down his allies, he claimed the relic for himself and sought to summon all four gods at once, unleashing a power never meant for mortals.

In that moment, the very fabric of reality shattered. The balance of energy collapsed, sending shockwaves across the world. The skies darkened, the earth trembled, and chaos reigned as the realms were torn apart. Animals mutated into monstrous forms, plants grew wild and deadly, and individuals across the world were imbued with extraordinary abilities.

Caught in the catastrophic crossfire, the three leaders were transformed, their bodies and souls forever altered by the unleashed energy. The Hollow leader, now a monstrous figure of immense power, turned his wrath upon the Nile and Vast. His betrayal plunged the world into an age of war and destruction, leaving entire cities in ruin.

The remaining two leaders, horrified by the chaos, united their forces in a desperate attempt to end the Hollow leader's reign of terror. After a brutal and bloody battle, they defeated him. Refusing to let him live and risk another calamity, the leaders executed him on the spot. In his final moments, the Hollow leader's power surged violently, threatening to destabilize the world once more. Acting quickly, the two leaders extracted his immense energy and sealed it within his only son, a kind-hearted boy who had opposed his father's cruelty.

The child, too young to bear the sins of his father, was taken in by the Nile and Vast. They vowed to protect him and teach him to wield his inherited power for good. This act of mercy became a symbol of hope, a chance to mend the broken bonds between the races.

In the aftermath, the two surviving leaders worked tirelessly to rebuild the shattered world. Ruined cities were reconstructed, and new civilizations were born, built on the foundations of unity and cooperation. To ensure no such catastrophe would happen again, the two leaders established a task force—an elite group of individuals chosen from all three races. This task force was charged with maintaining peace and regulating the use of powers, ensuring that no one would dare misuse their gifts or the relics ever again.

Over the centuries, the extraordinary abilities granted by the catastrophe became a norm, passed down through bloodlines. Families became known for the unique powers they inherited, each ability a reflection of the energy surge that had first imbued them. These powers, though often celebrated, were also a source of conflict, as some sought to exploit their gifts for personal gain.

The relics, now viewed as both sacred and dangerous, remained hidden. The fourth relic, still imbued with unimaginable power, was sealed away. A cryptic map to its location was created and hidden, its knowledge passed down only through the bloodlines of the Nile and Vast leaders.

Centuries later, the world had transformed. Cities flourished under new systems of governance, and the task force evolved into a global organization that kept the balance in check. Yet, the relics' dark history lingered as a constant reminder of the fragile balance between peace and chaos. The descendants of the three leaders continued to wield their powers, shaping the future of a world forever marked by the sins of the past
