The Saint's Lie

From the birth of the universe, energy has been the building block for all living things. Marvelous creatures emerged one after another, each taking their place in the pyramid of life. Slowly through evolution and luck, certain creatures rose above the rest, becoming the masters of their domains. This was however unsustainable, a way of life with deep-seated flaws in its code that eventually lead to its own demise. As a result of these failures, a certain few emerged that dedicated their lives to understanding the mysteries of the world, replacing the old ways with the new. Future generations would know them as the great Sages of the past, the voyagers of the new world. But it was still for naught, since said Sages followed the steps of their predecessors, disappearing from the world due to unknown secrets. Two great eras conquered the universe, one known for its strength and the other for its wisdom. Both similar in their eventual failures. All of these events eventually lead to the greatest era the world has yet seen. Immortals rise from the misty plains of solitude, while devils emerge from hidden cliffs. Following their suit, the creatures of old reawaken and the Sages become reborn. A third era that will be the beginning of the end.
