Providence

The world in which we exist plays itself out on the unseen fourth dimensional canvas of the human collective consciousness, conceived by god. In a few hundred years ahead of our current era, humanity reaches a breaking point, in which the volume and volatile nature of the collective consciousness eroded through the progression of humanity has shattered the canvas, rendering everything into a state known as The Dark, in which human souls are lost in an infinite time. To bring back his creation, god reconstructs the world, and binds all of humanity back to it with five superstructures called Engines. In doing this he is stripped of the remaining power he had, and dies, manifesting over earth as a large being and shattering onto its surface, his soul slowly dripping to the surface. Humanity, reconstituted from a seeming infinity in nothingness, are distorted and psychologically broken, and remain in numbers of a few tens of millions. The reconstruction of society begins about the world, and with most knowledge erased in the reconstitution, primitive society and infrastructure begins, supplemented by the remnants of Earth before Dark. The essences of god distilled from his soul take shape as people on the new world, each embodying the spectrum of core values presented by god. Two of which, are Empathy and Wrath. This story begins when Empathy and Wrath are finally distilled from the pouring of god's soul. Empathy, overpowered by the Wrath of god at his creations, becomes enslaved to the suffocating, quiet rage of Wrath. Together, the two move across this newly formed world. Their destination? The five Engines that bind humanity to this world. Their aim? The destruction of the world, and the sending of humanity, back to nothingness.
