It is said—though it’s just a rumor, and no one knows if it's true or not. It is said that a long, long time ago, the being known as the Creator God accidentally created the entire world after waking up suddenly. It is said that because the Creator God was lonely, he created the first woman in the world, making himself a man, and they became husband and wife. It is said that the Creator God's wife—no, his lady—was terribly bored. So, the Creator God, using their likeness, created a group of beings with immense power. These were the gods that would come to be known in later generations. It is said—really, just a rumor—that the following events are not even allowed in unofficial histories. Allegedly, the Creator God's lady used the scraps left over from creation to make a large number of beings that resembled the gods. And so, humanity came into existence. Of course, there were also some other peculiar creatures, but humanity was made from the poorest quality materials... And the last rumor is that the Creator God, along with his lady, could have enjoyed eternal life and endless bliss. However, after creating so many beings, they grew unbearably bored, so they abandoned their creations and went off traveling. Oh, right—this is truly the last rumor. It is said that the Creator God gave the gods power but didn't teach them anything or tell them what to do. After all, the Creator God was inexperienced. So, these powerful gods each formed their own factions, staking out territories like thugs and bandits, fighting over their domains... Of course, this last rumor is something you’ll never find in any official records. If anyone dares discuss these things in front of the great temples, well, the consequences would be quite dire indeed. It was a splendid morning, with a light mist gently drifting over the fields, giving everything a serene and leisurely air. Two early-rising skylarks chirped and fluttered their little wings, struggling a bit as they flew past the grass tips. In the distant east, a faint line of red light appeared on the horizon, with a touch of gold slowly swelling at the center. The sun was on the verge of breaking free from its slumber, ready to rise.
