CHAPTER 1. LIFE IS AN ALL CONSUMING VOID.

  ORIGIN AND TRAUMA.

  In one of the many prosperous universes in this ruthless multiverse, in a self contained galaxy,lay the blue planet Zeha.Among it's many nations, our tale begins in the kingdom of Greez.Here we find a boy named Arkner Wright raised by a single mother.From a young age,he gets used to the constant ridicule due to the lack of a father.This leaves a deep emotional scar in his heart that causes him to become withdrawn and aloof. He vows to prove his haters wrong by making it big in life,and the position he set his eyes on?was that of the king.He hated this kingdom and wanted to run it to its ruin.

  ARKNER'S CALCULATED ASCENT.

  The young kid studied hard in school and finally landed a scholarship in one of the most prestigious universities in the kingdom where he studied a course related to law.After completion of his studies,the young man,now grown up,was lucky enough to land a job in the palace as a law custodian. Having learnt to be sly from a young age,he used his smarts to overcome his political enemies while silently murdering others in cold blood and finally rose to the position of Prime minister.The king had come to trust him not knowing that he was a wolf in sheep's clothing. He used his position as Prime minister to secretly gain connections and take control of the military. Power,power was all he ever wanted,no matter the price that had to be paid.The dreadful feeling of weakness that he had when he was a kid;it would forever remain to be a thing of the past.It had to.

  THE BETRAYAL AND SEIZURE OF POWER.

  He later allied with the king of a rival nation and went on to annihilate the king and every other single member of the palace.Finally, here it was.The day that he had worked so hard for in his short mundane life.Through dictatorial military governance, Arkner gained control of the kingdom and became the top most supreme authority, second to none.

  THE COSMIC RECKONING.

  But karma is a vicious terrifying monster.The universe is a realm ruled by the laws of cause and effect.For every action and decision you make,you reap what you sow.Unfortunately,that day had come for our young king.On his very first day of reign,while drunk in the taste of power,something terrifying happened in the heavens. Right in the middle of the day,dark ominous clouds suddenly began to converge.The sun got got bloated out,followed by strange pearls of lightning and terrifying roars of thunder that seemed to resound in the very souls of the people in the kingdom.Terror spread in their hearts. Everyone fell where they stood, totally paralyzed with fear.Then an eerie bloodshot eye suddenly appeared in the sky,totally unblinking. Its gaze was the very definition of malice. The very space itself seemed to be screaming in pain,the pressure of bearing the gaze of the gods.A strange phenomenon began to occur all across the planet.Everywhere the eye gazed,everything began to melt like wax and began to vanish;like being erased conceptually to nothingness. Even the land itself became a victim.All the wealth that humanity had worked so hard to obtain for centuries vanished in a single day.Everything. Buildings, cars,gold,silver,money,power,technology, fame,cultural prestige and even the humans themselves.Nothing was spared.The planet was being erased from the map of the universe into the void of darkness.Into the lair of an ancient cosmic terror.

  LIFE IS A ROAD WITH NO DESTINATION.

  While watching everything unfold in fear,Arkner Wright wonders about the meaning and vanity of life.Everything he had earned with his sweat and brains was vanishing before his very eyes.And he could do nothing to stop it.Helpless was he,a being still bound by age,time,illnesses, emotions, space,dreams,desires.Quote it all,he was weak and as he too was vanishing, he came to realize;mortals were just a small puny bunch of proud creatures that had totally no power to control their fate and face the gods.They would all have to die one day,and their history would forever be swallowed by the vast unbound infinity of this reality.Was humanity just a toy in the eyes of the gods who emanate from beyond all time and space?

  THE END OF AN ERA.

  And with that last thought,Arkner vanished,never to be seen or known again.
