In the heart of the multiverse lies Centra-universe, a haven for Directors who craft countless realities for the amusement of six omnipotent gods. Among them resides Yuji, a grizzled veteran known for his underdog hero narratives.

For a million years, Yuji toiled in obscurity. Plagued by artist's block and the constant threat of eviction, his career teetered on the brink of failure. Then came a stroke of inspiration. He wouldn't just craft a hero's journey; he'd create a universe where his greatest underdogs faced an adversary mirroring the invincible Centra-universe itself - a rebellion unlike any other!

This daring concept catapulted Yuji back to the top. His "rebellion universe" became a smash hit, the first episode trending number one. The bored gods were finally entertained. But beneath the surface, a rival Director schemed. Fueled by envy, they orchestrated a scandal - an alleged affair between Yuji and his current assistant, a woman recently fired after a dramatic falling out.

Rumors spread like wildfire, tarnishing Yuji's reputation. Though intrigued by his universe, the fickle gods deemed punishment necessary. Stripped of his immortality and divine powers, Yuji was cast into his own creation as a mortal. However, a glimmer of hope remained. If he could replicate his initial success and trend number one four more times, he'd regain his powers and return to Centra.

Now, Yuji faces his greatest challenge. Without his godly tools, can he navigate his own intricate creation and prove his talent? Or will envy and scandal destroy his career, leaving him trapped in a world he designed but no longer controls? The fate of Yuji, the once-celebrated Director, hangs in the balance.
