Overgeared

The first time he opened his eyes, he was standing next to two other beings. Those two beings were Rebecca and Yatan, and they were in space. Everywhere he looked, he saw small lights, and those lights were stars.

Hanul naturally understood this. He took all the knowledge and information in his mind for granted and learned it.

One day, Rebecca made a blue planet, and she dedicated her life to that planet. He helped her with the creation of nature and all the life that blossomed there. He gave her a lot of advice while watching humanity establish their civilizations.

When Yatan felt sorry for those who died, unlike Rebecca and Hanul, he decided to build hell, and Hanul supported him.

Many years had passed since then.

Eventually, new gods were born because of humanity’s worship. Rebecca had also created other gods and angels.

Suddenly, everything was gone—the blue planet, the angels, and even the gods. In the vast universe, only Hanul, Rebecca, and Yatan remained. Everything was silent, and Hanul was very shocked.

For the first time, he realized that something was wrong. However, he couldn’t afford to be hasty with his theories. Yatan looked so sad about destroying the planet that Hanul didn’t want to blame his old friend.

He firmly believed that this was the only time this would happen. However, that was not the case. This event repeated several times. Many things didn’t make sense anymore. It turned out that Rebecca had been behind Yatan’s destruction of the planet. Beings called old dragons appeared and criticized her.

Once Rebecca re-created the blue planet, the old dragons intervened and slowed the development of the planet. In the process, they inevitably confronted Hanul. Hanul was already dissatisfied with Rebecca and Yatan, so he was unhappy with how things had turned out.

Rebecca, Yatan, and the old dragons—why did they bother him every time and made him sad?

The only one Hanul could reach out to was Martial God Chiyou, who suddenly stood side by side with the Gods of the beginning one day. He didn’t perish, not even when Yatan had destroyed the planet. He always sneered at the Gods of the beginning and the old dragons, as if he was special or something. Thus, Hanul asked him for help.

I think I am going to go crazy like this.

Please help me prevent the destruction of this world.

At some point, the old dragons went on a rampage, and they devoured the angels and gods created by Rebecca. For the very first time, Hanul saw Rebecca crying. She had destroyed countless beings. Even the gods and angels she created were slaughtered. Yet she took pity on the gods whom Trauka was devouring.

That was when Hanul started hating Rebecca.

Rebecca, whom he couldn’t figure out despite knowing the principles of the universe from the moment he was born, became a being made out of pretenses and lies in Hanul’s eyes.

Why did she keep destroying the world? Even though she had witnessed the birth of countless beings, had she never felt even the slightest bit of affection or sympathy for them?

[No. She must have a reason for doing this.]

One day, Rebecca could no longer stand the hatred in Hanul’s eyes every time he looked at her and told him the truth. She said that this world was just a lower dimension created by higher-level beings for entertainment. The moment a singularity occurred, everything would be completely destroyed and only suffering that was worse than death would remain.

It was shocking to hear Rebecca say this, but Hanul had already been suspecting this since the birth of the old dragons. Since dragons already knew everything from the moment they were born, they resembled the Gods of the beginning. They made Hanul question things. He wondered if all the things he took for granted were ultimately for someone’s convenience.

Were his and the universe’s existences a result of a higher being’s desire for entertainment? Hanul tried his best to dismiss this theory. However, Rebecca had told him the truth, and he could no longer ignore it. He could either accept it or deny it.

Hanul picked the second option.

Chiyou told Hanul, [I will help you because you seem to be at a disadvantage. However, anything that threatens you might become a threat to me one day, so I will do my best to keep them alive. Remember, I am only helping you right now because there is a possibility that one day you will kill me.]

Hanul just needed to get rid of Rebecca. No, he just needed to stop her from destroying the world. If he did that, then something would happen to the world, something that he didn’t know. And once that happened, he might achieve peace in a different way than what Rebecca had imagined...
