Will Of A Deity

00| Prologue

Year 2020

The year when mankind found out that they're not the only ones who live in this world. Creatures who once lived in shadows appeared and claim their lands. From merpeople who lure and attack fishermen, to vampires who seek for blood when the sun disappears, to flesh-eating demons who attack villages after villages.

Mankind lost their throne on the top of the food chain. But mankind was not one to give up.

Invention of different weapons to hunt for these creatures began. Until mankind become of equal footing with these creatures, resulting in a 500-year war. Genocides, burning of cities, rallies, and the fear in the eyes of the innocent who are traumatized by the sound of missiles and smell of blood and gunpowder. It was hell on earth.

The Lord, The Marshall, and the Emperor

"Hello~"

"Is everyone ready?"

"Yes."

"Ditto!"

"Okay. Let's start."

"From here on out, we form an alliance to maintain peace and order...and to avoid chaos. As a sign of loyalty..."

"I swear on Deus ex machina..."

"On Caelum ..."

"On Felicity..."

"For the system..."

"For the people..."

"For creation..."

"Qui totum vult totum perdit."

Year 3710

1190 years after the 500-year war that traumatized the whole world of the living. A lot has changed. Supernatural creatures learned to adapt to living with mankind.

Mermaids learned to change into feet from tail and use both like pants.

Vampires become more immune to sunlight.

And mankind...learned to live with these creatures.

Technology became more innovative after a substance called mana was introduced. It enables a person to use magic and do what was once impossible. Various new materials and inventions were made. And new discoveries were found.

But even with all this innovations, there are still limitations to what can be done. With this, the three rules we’re made.

First, one must not mock the value of a life,

Second, one must not play with death,

And lastly, one must follow what one’s fate is and if not…fate will find a way.

With this three rules, mankind and the supernatural creatures found peace.

But just how long...'till the peace breaks once again?
