From the beginning, the world was good no matter what.
A boy who had been abandoned by his parents, his own people, and even the world truly felt this way. The boy’s childhood was extremely unfortunate. The traces of divine punishment engraved on his body made him unhappy.
···God’s punishment.
It was a curse that the gods in the sky spread on this earth in order to more easily track down the only threat to them, the Guide.
Anyone who possesses the qualities of a leader, or something similar, is cursed by God from birth. The stigma engraved on the body cannot be erased unless the god dies, and the gods thoroughly trample on the places where the stigmatized people stayed. So that not a single heap of ashes remains.
That’s why the boy was abandoned. It may have been his parents’ last act of mercy not to kill his own blood relative, but there was no way for the boy to know that.
abandoned. From parents.
abandoned. From your own people.
Despite being abandoned by everything, the boy tenaciously survived. Wherever he went, he was pointed at and had to run away from the swords of his own people aimed at him. There were no allies anywhere.
In order to survive, one had to become poisonous, and the boy was willing to be poisonous. He survived and survived with his poison in his mouth.
The boy became a young man, and the moment he became an adult, his qualities as a leader began to bloom. A young man with talent, experience, and qualifications, grew quickly. He no longer had to be afraid of the night, and he had reached a point where he no longer had to be afraid of the blades pointed at him by his compatriots.
Then one day it happened.
“To you, you are a hero.”
Was it the day he killed the general of a certain god who had been persistently pursuing him? The elder of the village that had been exploited by the general came to him and bowed his head.
“Since the general died in our village, the general’s detachment will definitely come here. Please, our village…”
He pleaded with the young man.
Please protect the village. The young man could only laugh at that plea. The elder did not seem to remember the young boy who had kicked him out of the village one winter night. But the boy didn’t forget it.
The boy, now a young man, bent down and showed the back of his neck to the elder, who was older than he remembered.
“that···.”
The elder’s pupils shook.
The moment he saw the brand of heavenly punishment engraved on the young man’s neck, the elder seemed to recall a memory, and the young man answered by raising his lowered body. Just like that, the young man left the village.
After that, something similar happened a few more times.
The young man continued to grow and killed countless generals who pursued him. Among those he killed were several generals who were representatives of their tribe. There were many people saved by the general’s death, a lot.
At some point, mankind called themselves heroes.
The Human Liberation Army contacted him, and those who called themselves heroes extended their hand to the young man, asking if he would become a comrade. The young man rejected all of that. Because he didn’t know why he should.
“As a member of the same race…”
“Repair the broken world, for humanity…”
“Aren’t we the same human being? As the same human being….”
The young man could not sympathize with their words appealing to the affection of his compatriots. The young man had no memory of receiving anything from his own people. If anything, he was kicked, but he never received help.
Therefore, everything was just an enemy to the young man.
The young man walked alone. I wanted to become perfect on my own. The young man was confident that he could do that as he was growing day by day. If I become perfect, if I stand in the same position as the god in the sky… I will not be afraid of anything.
But he was mistaken about one thing.
It was true that the more he grew and the more he stood out, the more the gods would keep an eye on him.
【found.】
One day, a god came down in front of the young man.
God burned everything just by being there. The lush forest became a heap of ashes in an instant, and from the ashes, God beckoned to the young man. Every time I made a gesture, flames rose up.
Before the fire of God, what the young man had built up throughout his life was infinitely worthless. Couldn’t win. I couldn’t escape. The young man gritted his teeth in extreme helplessness.
Just as the young man was about to burst into flames and die, he heard. A voice coming from somewhere. It was the voice of a compatriot who had always ignored the young man and whom the young man had ignored.
“Arman. The road.”
“Yes, Captain.”
With a voice, someone jumped into the flames.
It was a white-haired woman. Even though her body was burning, she started running with her young man on her back. She cleared the way for those who ran by her side. She cleared away the surging divine flames.
I don’t know what tricks he used, but with their help, the young man was able to escape from the divine flames.
“Anyway, we need to recognize our leader’s recklessness.”
“Wasn’t it worth doing? He wasn’t a high-ranking god, so I just thought it was worth a walk.”
“What kind of person would rush to God just because his status is not high? Still, he is a transcendental person. It’s a miracle that he survived with one arm like this, a miracle.”
By the river, far away from the flames.
The young man narrowed his eyes as he watched them cooling off. Because I didn’t understand their intentions. Why did you save yourself? The young man’s eyes looked at the woman who carried him on her back.
The leader, and a woman called Gletus.
Her arms were scorched by the fire of God. As a result of carrying herself on her back, engulfed in her flames, the skin on her back melted away, leaving her with terrible scars. Still, she didn’t scream once.
“Are you out of your mind?”
The woman approached the young man.
The young man looked straight at the woman.
“Looking at it, it appears to have been able to withstand the fire due to its unique constitution, but if left alone, it may spread into a serious wound. Give me your arm. I will help you heal.”
“···why.”
The young man opened his mouth as he looked at the woman who was treating his wounds. Because he could not learn to read, the young man’s speech was broken words and words. The young man gathered together the words he knew and asked the woman a question.
Why did you save me?
In response to that question, the woman just slowly tilted her head. She had her pure white hair flowing down her head. Gletus calmly answered the young man’s question.
“Do you need a reason to save someone?”
It wasn’t an affectation.
She really didn’t expect anything in return. After giving her first aid, she left without a word.
It was my first time.
It was my first time receiving help from my own people, or rather, from someone else. That’s why the young man remembered Gletus’ name. Instead of wandering aimlessly, the young man walked after Gletus.
“It’s him back then. Look, Armaan. Didn’t I make a bet? He would definitely come after me.”
“Wow, you got this right.”
As time passed and I was reunited with her.

The young man was able to see something different from the first time. Because he followed her here and heard rumors about her.
The human who ended the Bambul War.
A person loved by spirits.
Guardian of the seven cities…
Countless names adorned her. Regardless of her race, she saved countless people. She extended her helping hand to them without expecting anything in return. She was a good person, and she was a human being who lived beautifully.
But what the young man noticed was something else.
The moment the young man reunited with Gletus, he untied the cloth around his neck. She showed her the brand of her divine punishment upon her guide. Gletus, who opened her eyes wide, soon smiled and tilted her head slightly.
The brand of divine punishment was also engraved on her neck.
What the young man noticed was that she was also a guide. She was there, born with the same brand of divine punishment as herself, truly her own kin.
Guide, Gletus.
This is a woman who, like herself, would have been abandoned by her parents, her people, and the world. However, she was living a life completely different from her own. She was so different that, as a young person, she had no idea how such a life was possible.
That’s why I asked a question.
How can you live like that?
The woman answered the question as a question.
“The first is coincidence, the second is fate. What is your name? I’ve heard rumors about you, but no one knows your name.”
Gletus smiled.
“I am Gletus, Gletus of Discipline.”
What is your name.
The young man answered the question posed. pronounced the words he had heard for the first and last time from his parents.
“Jormun.”
“Very well, Jormún. You said you were curious about how I lived?”
“Yes.”
“Then follow me.”
Gletus extended his hand to Jormun.
It was the hand that had been scorched by the fire of God that day while saving Jormun. Gletus laughed, holding out his scarred hand.
“No one will tell you how to live. You just see it with your own eyes and make your own decisions. I will just be a guide who helps someone else make their decisions.”
If you wish, I will guide you.
Where, Jormun asked.
“At least to a better place than now.”
To a slightly more beautiful world.
Gletus answered like that.
Sigh.
After much thought, Jormun held someone’s hand for the first time. The hand I held was warm.
While recalling the past, Jormun looked to the present.
Did that damn junior say that? You are just standing there in that moment of that day, stagnant and festering. Yes, that is an undeniable fact.
Know.
That the star is broken.
There was no way he could have known that he was falling apart. But even so, Jormun could not let go of the star. That was all that was left to me.
「Jormun.」
“Can I ask you a favor?”
If you close your eyes and listen.
“I will become part of the rules above. Don’t be sad that I’m leaving you. “I will become part of the star and watch over you.”
“So, please protect the star.”
“Please don’t let your life and mine be in vain.”
Her last words linger in my mind. I remember the temperature of her body growing cold as she bled to death. Jormun can’t forget the first time she reached out to her and her warm hand turned as cold as ice.
For Jormun, Gletus was everything.
It was just everything.
From Gletus, Jormun learned to read.
I learned how to speak, I learned history, and I learned why the world is so broken. She taught herself what no one else had taught her.
What my parents, my compatriots, and no one else did for me.
She did it for Jormún.
Therefore, Gletus was Jormun’s teacher, friend, parent, and lover. She warmly embraced me, who had never known human warmth. She led a life that was not straight, but led herself to the right path.
“···It was everything.”
If she could smile, if she could make her happy, if she could tell her that she was right, he could do anything. But eventually she left her own side. All she had left was what remained of herself.
Jormun looked at the sky with a distorted expression.
The constellations floating there were looking down at me. That day, here, she was a constellation carved in the sky with her. Looking at the stars, Jormun pondered the fate of Gletus. He chewed her cud again and again.
The world where she disappeared.
From the beginning.
Anyway, it was good.
Jormun raised his arm. The Platinum Temple slowly rose with the overflowing waterways. A finger was pointed at the rising temple, and the sky began to split apart. What is revealed beyond the split sky is a pitch black night sky.
Beyond the split sky, the night sky.
The huge constellation engraved there shone brightly.
Under the greatest discipline, Jormun tore off all the restrictions placed on him. From the moment the invaders who wanted to drop the star reached this city, Providence no longer bound Jormun.
Toad-duk-duk.
Jormun looked at the falling restrictions with empty eyes. Perhaps, if he had not seen the future, he would not have unshackled himself to the end.
‘Because this would also be taboo.’
But Jormun knows.
The fact that he lost everything because he did not lift his restrictions against the Goddess of Ash until the very end. That’s why Jormun didn’t hesitate any longer.
Constraints fall away.
Space was distorted around Jormun.
That day, the one who was defeated by the Goddess of Ash was the ancient dragon wizard, Jormun Van Dragonic. However, the one who stands here now is the first criminal who was called a genius. Yormun, tearing off the restraints, swung his hand.
Shoot aaaaaaa.
Platinum-colored rain fell.
The flooding became more intense. When rainwater hit the city, the city, which had been shedding soft light, began to shine brightly. The moment the raindrop touched the old dragon’s scales, the old dragon’s body shook greatly.
The old dragon’s scales were stained platinum.
The eyes became brighter and the torn skin healed.
Flap, the old dragon spread its torn wings.
The ancient dragon, which had risen for the first time in tens of thousands of years, flapped its wings and flew into the sky. To grant my close friend’s wish. To destroy the intruders who invaded this city.
Kwasik.
Jormun held his staff tightly.
A pure white constellation appears between the wands as they crumble and make a sound. On the day that the Ten Gods were defeated, their power was robbed and Jormun was crafted into a single constellation.
The constellation containing the power of all gods crawled like a snake up Jormun’s arm. The constellation engraved on my arm burned fiercely.
“There is the end of your path.”
To protect what is precious to oneself, humans go to great lengths. It is no different even if a human has ascended to the position of God. Because in essence, we are imperfect and weak human beings.
“So, stop.”
The human who had become a god beckoned.
Divine punishment fell along the tip of the swung finger. The sky, the earth, and everything turned white. Light arrived first, and sound caught up with it later.
————————.
The sound of the world being torn apart, or a thunderclap, rang out.
