Synopsis
A world where people can achieve the impossible through belief and spirituality. However, it wasn't easy for any wish to come true. People have to go through trials and hardship. Often, they are the reason for their untimely demise. Yet, swarms of people still try to succeed, going to the extent of stepping on each other's corpses, massacring millions, and spreading benevolence to the entire world. Yet, there is a continent where magic is forbidden, and deity worship is the orthodox path. Consumed by human greed and the rapid advancement of technology, steam punk is the mainstream path here. Through it, empires flourish, and empires are annihilated. Just across the continent where magic was forbidden, a man who had given up hope on life arrives. Blessed (or cursed?) with the role to serve fate and help it fulfill fate's orders, he must now abide by its cruel will. How will his journey unravel? And what mysteries will it uncover?

Chapter 1 - A World Where Dreams Flourish

A world where dreams are possible. 

A world you can fulfill any desire - as long as you have the strength to execute it. 

Will you take this opportunity? 

Even if it meant the deaths of millions, billions, perhaps even your loved ones.

What about their suffering? 

What about your suffering?

People say it is lonely at the top, but it is also lonely at the bottom. No one to accompany you, just because you are the dreg of society, and its stain of shame. 

You want to escape from it, to leave that rotten status. Yet everything seems to block you from it. 

'Is there a way out?'

You constantly ask yourself. 

Yet, you know what to do. Only your connections stop you from doing it. 

But you must.

You must have the courage to do it. If you ever want to change yourself. 

The law of equivalent exchange says - To gain something, you must first sacrifice something. That is the law of this world. 

In order to change yourself, you must first change yourself.
