[Prologue: The Last hope]
...
*Growl...*
...
"Damnit... I'm hungry..."
In the middle of the forest, under a blood-colored tree in the shape of a mushroom, the figure of a skinny and weak Piglin covered in blood muttered in a daze while looking around it in hopes of finding some food by miracle.
The stomach of the Piglin was covered in blood and had two enormous holes in it as if something had pierced it not long ago. His face, which was pale as the snow, looked blankly at the air as it was slowly starting to lose consciousness.
"Why is my body so weak...? Why must I live this horrible life where I can die at any given time, while all the others have the privilege of eating every day and having gold in their hands...? Why must I be the one dying here, and not those fucking bastards?"
The mouth under the Piglin's nose moved slowly as the look in his eyes looked more and more blurred as time passed. His strength had already left him many minutes ago, and the blood in his body was already decreasing to mortal levels.
His mind reminisced the moment that led him to end like this, just a few hours ago.
He, a Piglin with a constitution that made him be several times weaker than the average Piglin, had to find a job somewhere if he wanted to live another day, after all, in the Piglin society those that don't work, don't get to eat.
At first, although his constitution made him several times weaker than the average Piglin, his appearance was completely normal and did not differentiate at all from other piglins. However, after having not eaten for many days, his looks started deteriorating, and his body got gradually weaker. Making him unable to perform even the easiest jobs.
Thus, unable to do anything else, he chose to work as Lumberjack for the time being just so that he could get to eat something before dying of inanition. Unfortunately, as if destiny was playing with him, suddenly while he was chopping down a tree, like all the other Piglins working next to him, he noticed that all their group had long been surrounded by a herd of Hollins and cornered completely without a chance to escape.
Left without choice, the other Piglins decided to use him as bait and threw him towards the pack of Hoglins so that he could draw all their attention, and they could escape safely. After that, fortunately, or unfortunately, the Hoglins there barely paid any attention to him, and instead started pursuing the other piglins with eyes full of fury.
However, his luck disappeared after that. Even after he escaped far away from where the other Hoglins were, he ended up finding a stray one and got attacked by it.
The fact itself that he wasn't dead yet was a miracle, as his incredibly frail body could be completely unable to resist the assault of a Hoglin and could pretty much have his whole body crushed almost instantly.
Maybe the Hoglin just considered him not even worth the effort and made a half-assed attack towards him before throwing him away like trash.
Finally, after he recovered somehow, the Piglin continued walking for entire days sustaining the injuries in his body with perseverance and stopping the bleeding with anything he could find in the forest. Be it plants, Hoglin hair, or even some Tree-bark he found in the ground.
Unfortunately, all that effort had gone to waste and his body finally reached its limit. Making him fall under the tree, and think about his whole life with saddened eyes.
His mind, which was filled with chaos and fear, soon was overwhelmed by emotions and broke apart completely.
[If I come back I will step over all of you!! None of you will be even able to look at me without having your skulls crushed!! hahahaHAHAHAHA!!!]
The overwhelming desire and greed of the Piglin soon took over his despairing mind and made him start laughing without stopping like a maniac until he finally breathed his last breath.
The white eyes of the Piglin soon lost their luster, and his head fell to the ground without any resistance.
The Piglin... Was dead.

Somewhere else, in the dimension on top of all dimensions...
...
"Damnit... To think that HE had done such a thing...!"
"I can't believe that it ends like this... I thought HE was gone for good during all these years! But HE surpassed our expectations..."
"I refuse to accept this, for the great me to die like this...!"
Dozens of figures exclaimed in anger while watching their own bodies turn into dust. All of them had an incredible glow in their bodies that gave them a majestic and domineering feeling that one would only expect from incredibly powerful people. Yet, even with all that power, right now they were all disappearing into nothingness, as their bodies dissipated into the air slowly.
Amidst the panic, a humanoid figure stood and looked at all of them with a serious look in its eyes.
With a golden glow covering its whole body, and an aura that surpassed with ease that of everyone around here, it was to suppose that he was the leader of all these people, and that he was the only one who knew what to do in this chaotic situation.
"Silence"
His voice echoed ethereally around the room and calmed down everyone in the room almost immediately.
...
"We need to accept it, this time it's our defeat, and we no longer have a way to survive... This time... HE won"
Everyone looked grim at his words, but none of them objected. They knew it was true, and that it was only a matter of time before they all ceased to exist.
"At this rate, the entire creation might be in danger, and this time, we won't be there to protect it. That's why, even in our last breath, we need to pour our last drop of power, and create the last hope of this reality..."
Everyone gasped in surprise and looked at their own hands as if analyzing the power they still had left before their imminent death.
"The last time we fought against him, I know that we didn't do it with intentions of forming alliances. But now it's no longer time for our differences, we all need to gather our lasts drops of Divine power and create together the last hope of this reality, a weapon that will be able to surpass his power, and will save this reality from destruction...!"
Some of the people there visibly hesitated. However, when the last words of the person at the center came out, their eyes turned bright once again, and all the people there raised their hands and aimed at the sky.
The beautiful brilliance that surrounded the bodies of everyone there soon started leaving their bodies and then started gathering at one point in the sky, creating an enormous particle of light that seemed to resemble the very sun itself.
Eventually, the bodies of everyone there started falling one by one towards the ground before they all dissipated instantly into particles of dust.
When only two people remained, the leader from before, and another one that had a calm and relaxing aura around him, both started talking between each other with eyes filled with sadness.
"What will this do?" The calm one looked at the particle of light and asked the one who seemed to be the leader of all of them.
"I don't know. This energy only has the purpose of destroying HIM and saving this reality... Only when it finishes forming, will it really take its true form and will choose a way to save everything. Whether it is a good one, a silly one, or an evil one, as long as the reality is saved, and HE is destroyed, this energy will be satisfied. All we have left to do is to pray that it succeeds..."
"I see... Then, it was an honor fighting alongside you" Finally, the body of the calmest of them started disappearing, and dissipated into dust the next second. Only to be followed by the leader as well.
"Don't disappoint me... You are the last hope of this reality, and the last struggle of the Gods..." The man caressed the particle of light with his finger before he started dissipating into nothingness as well while carrying a small tear on his face.
After a few seconds, the whole place was left completely silent, and all that was left was the brilliant particle of energy created by those people that had been standing there a few minutes ago.
...
However, suddenly the particle started releasing an enormous amount of heat and started taking different shapes and forms. Be it a sword, a gas, liquid, a bow, it continued changing forms for hours, until it finally stopped.
The particle of energy dissipated into the air, and soon a robotic and ethereal voice echoed all around the room.

*Booooom!!!*
Out of nowhere, an enormous thunder struck the room and opened a small rift in space that allowed the particle of energy to travel through it.

The particle of energy blinked a few times before it entered through a dark place with nothing in sight, empty until the last corner, and silent as nothing has ever been. If one were to give it a name, it could be... The Void.

In the middle of the crimson forest from before, the dead body of the Piglin soon started moving once again, as if it had come back to life and started looking around in a daze with cold sweat running down from his face.
"Where... Am I...?"

A/N:
I must warn you guys, I only uploaded this chapter to see how many people like the idea. I will continue stockpiling future chapters for some time so that I can offer them in exchange for subscribing to my Patreon later.
I have yet to make a Patreon though...
Hey, I have to take the opportunity while I can, right?
But don't worry, I will be releasing some of them from time to time, I don't want to make you people wait for that much between chapters just for the sake of my money thirst.
Anyway, that's all.
Leave your feedback for this story down in the comments!
