The original Sin

Note: This is a kind of prologue/theory that concerns the origin of Pluto(the world where most players exist). You may read it now or wait until you reach a certain chapter that points to this prologue and read it then.

the sun rose from beyond the horizon, light wrapping the silent, colorful land. There they were, running one was and laying the other had been, as the wind blew their hair brushed the verdant grass. golden strands reflecting the light and strings darker than night moved with the blowing wind.

This was the appropriate description of the two kids who lived in this empty world, seeking the truth and living it whole. And there, the first promise was made, between the blonde girl who adored all around her and the dark-haired boy who wished to see what is beyond. Rebecca and Yatan, they knew not where they met, nor how they came to be, they only knew that they were bound together.

One day in the endless sea, a man could be seen, wearing ragged clothes, wounded and bleeding. However, fate did not abandon him as he reached what seemed at first glance a lifeless world, golden strings drew close and healed his wounds, covered his body, and warmed his soul. The boy called himself Hanul, for the duo who never saw the unknown, he held a mysterious aura. While Rebecca considered him a new part of her world, Yatan grew curious and wary of the new knowledge that had arrived. And so, passed the days as the trio grew together, Rebecca who wished to expand and bring more to her world thanks to Hanul's motivation was more excited than ever, Yatan who had grown suspicious of Hanul's plans felt uneasy.

And so, the ''first Pluto'' was born from the dissipating energy in Rebecca's hair, new lands formed, and from her breath life blossomed. From Hanul's knowledge, life grew and became more diverse, and from Yatan's determination for gathering more knowledge they acquired the need to grow. As those creations worshipped their creators, Asgard came to be, the land of the origins, the divine land of the gods. However, in this new world a special place born before the genesis existed, Yatan was the only one to notice it. As he explored the land, he now called abyss, he came upon a lonely child with fierce eyes, ones that showed the hardships he went through, Yatan knew not how this place came to be so he sought more knowledge as he ventured with the child deeper.

Upon reaching the depths a terrifying truth was revealed to Yatan, as he hurried back to the surface his path was blocked by a sole man, it was none other than Hanul. :'' excessive knowledge is detrimental, Yatan'' said Hanul as he stabbed himself and shouted with all his might. Rebecca who hurried at the scene could not comprehend what had happened only 3 people were standing before her, one was her soul-bound partner Yatan, on the other side was the one who presented to her a new world of possibilities, Hanul and lastly a child with fearsome eyes was standing next to the unfazed Yatan. '' Yatan is betraying us, he wishes to destroy the world Rebecca!!'' shouted Hanul again, Rebecca could not analyze the situation calmly looking at the bleeding Hanul.

''Why would you do that, Yatan...''

mumbled Rebecca at Yatan who looked at her unfazed yet again.

'' I CURSE YOU; I CURSE YOU FOR TRYING TO DESTROY WHAT WE BUILT AND FOR BETRAYING US, I CURSE YOU YATAN.''

Rebecca swayed by her emotions declared and shortly after Yatan who let the curse freely hit him collapsed as he entered the eon of slumber. as he was thrown towards the rift of the world, the origin of chaos, a crack in the world tree, it was the abyss, as the young boy rushed and carried the man, his loneliness spread its roots into his soul, turning into desires. One who was abandoned by everything and was losing the only remaining hope he has, It was the birth of the Origin of evil, Baal.

However, the truth would soon be discovered by Rebecca, who had regretted her irreversible actions. Hanul, the one who deceived her tried to seize control over the world they created together.

And so, he was banished along with their children who supported him, to a land he shall not be able to cross separated by a great sea which mimics the endless sea from which Hanul appeared, it came to be known as the ''red sea''.

It was then that regret invaded Rebecca's heart, the ideal world she had wished for was destroyed by her innocence and her colorless beliefs.

''Yatan...''

Her partner and sole companion had left her side and she was now alone, carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. And her core was soon tainted by the manifestation of absolute order, a static world where everything would go her way. A part that desires to guide the world towards a peaceful and joyous, and another that wishes to reset everything to their origins, return the world to what it was like before everything was ruined, and destroy everything until she achieves her goal.

And so was Hanul born as the one and only ''source of the myth'', albeit fake, it was a myth that will be engraved in the history of the gods for eternity. The myth of a trickster whose tricks could not be seen even by his fellow gods, Tricks that deceived the world through its many cycles. And thus the first 2 sins were born, corruption and sloth. Rebecca, who couldn't control herself in her frenzied state after Hanul's betrayal, had cursed her children as well, and now she was helpless, having ruined her hopes in Asgard, she once again focused on Pluto as she vowed she won't repeat her mistakes there even if it meant to lie and deceive.

As Yatan opened his eyes in the dark abyss, his eyes were colder than ice and deeper than the realm he was in.

''I will bring chaos upon this cursed world.''

A world born from curses could never walk on the strings of order, so he will bring chaos and make it follow its natural path. Yatan turned his eyes towards Baal and patted the young boy's head.

''And you will be the key.''

A book that recorded the Original sin and the truth of the world that can overcome the fake myth. It was the true identity of the book of 'Sloth', Yatan's diary. From Yatan's sweat, Amocrat was born, and from his blood, Beriache was.

''One will be the guardian of the key and the other shall be the lock.''

Amocrat, the great demon of conflict, who would ensure that the world will walk the path of chaos. And Beriache, the one who will guide the key towards its rightful place.

''I should prepare to face the truth when the time comes.''

The truth that he had learned on his journey, it was time to prepare for the grand finale that would come eventually, the beginning of the end. And so hell was born, a realm where the strong reign, it wasn't out of sadism but a desire to nurture his creations enough to overcome the dilemma awaiting at the end of their path. The desire for chaos had brought to life a lifeless land.

The green fields had disappeared to be replaced by a world that belonged to the strong, where power was all that mattered, a perpetual war between chaos and order, triggered by a trickster who maintains balance.
