In the twisting cosmos of unfeeling nature burdened by the weight of human conscious lays the birth and death of Gods unknown and known. In this space of the universe where madness lays and rationality long lost is where we begin our journey into the world of Gods. Here, Time was birthed as an entity beyond a concept, beyond words, and beyond human control being the first of many horrors created from man's comprehension and their reckless nature. After Time came Entropy as all things rose, they would also fall to the Entropy of it all as the rational laws of humanity declared. In this place of pure thought and concept, where meaning and reality merged, and where the shadow of intent was casted humanity were made into God makers.

Where Time would arise, Entropy would soon follow to topple creating the first rounds of the Great Game of cyclical nature. These children of mankind would push and pull amongst the cosmos for millennia or days as they corrupted the very meaning of the concepts from, they were birthed. Millennia in the world of Man would pass as concepts of Pagan Gods and a single God would rise and fight in the place of thought and concept but always leaving Time and Entropy alone in the end. In time, Man would turn to their shadows to glimpse at their true gods for a speck never truly comprehending the full weight of their creations. Humanity would soon be enslaved by the very Gods they had made as their concepts were given weight and voice in their squabble.

Humanity created the Gods for they imposed their weight of sentience on the world and so the world folded and created them, but Man could not understand this birth and the power that they had imparted to them and so Man worshipped their creations in the dark. The years following the expansion would see Man against Man as those who turned into the dark found truth and meaning in the children sired from their concepts worshipped Time and Entropy. Those Enlightened would bring blight and destruction upon the worlds of Man in the name of Two Who Came Before Us.

Though this Truth was not meant to be the Truth of Man and so the Great Wars of Cleansing began against the Enlightened as the place of thought and concept was violated by Man. Humanity would be united after centuries of this war and cleansed of the Lie but leaving the galaxy torn and devastated in an era of rebuilding but as this unfolded in the World of Man, The Great Game would be played in the shadows of humanity.

As Time guided their creators from the brink of Entropy's pull once again as the Great Game had gone since millennia or minutes ago. Entropy prepared for their next move against Time once more toppling the stars and galaxies that had been birthed in Time. The Enlightened long since touched by the sight of the thousand eyes of Time and the shifting nothingness of Entropy would dwell upon the place of thought and concept creating the Final Gods of Humanity as they fell to their last moments of extermination as a final will. In their final breath, War and Love would take their first and thus the second rounds of the Great Game would begin.

In the moments that would follow the birth of these new Gods would be the first battle between the Four Aspects as reality shattered like glass into billions of fractures where time flowed like tar and concepts like gravity forgotten. Upon the corpses of the million dead Gods of Man, these Four Aspects of Humanity would fight as they flowed into and pulled of each other like they had always done but hadn't. Just like their creators before them, they fought and unified rising and falling like the tides of oceans of pure concept given birth raging against each other. In this moment that would last centuries or mere seconds as Time fought against Entropy and War raged against Love, the stars would twinkle ever brighter in the eyes of Humanity as stars were erased and remembered. The galaxies of Time would be removed by War and later given rebirth by Love for the nostalgia of Humanity as Entropy rendered their contents empty and dead.

Humanity in their unified state danced across the stars like dancers upon a stage made for them. Expanding and spreading the stories of Man across the worlds given to them by Time and feeling the emotions that Love would give them as Entropy slowly came for them in the end of their lifespans and War outright ending them. Humanity would dance to the tune of the Four across the stage of the stars and they would be enslaved by the very children birthed by themselves long ago.

And so, the Great Game to this day is played and its tune heard by all of Humanity as it dances. Enslaved by the will of their own creations, of their concepts' given birth is where humanity stands in the grand stage of this twisting cosmos of unfeeling nature without reprieve or hope.
