He lets his sons roll, he lets his daughter merrymake.
But he... He can't play. He controls all, the heavens above are behested to him. The rivers surge and the wind blow as he directs them on his canvas. God, the Great Architect. The sculptor of worlds, the Zeitgeist of every time.
But if he can't create a game for himself, doesn't that make him not omnipotent?
God is omnipotent.
If he can control everything in creation, can he ever create something that he can't control?
If he can't, he's not all-powerful. If he can, how can he still be so?
His greatest masterpiece was an intricate game of chess. So long it was in the making that he himself neglected it halfway, lamenting his failure while watching his opponent set up his strategem. As he waited, the world he governed rotted without his munificence he once spent on it.
" Hurry, son of mine. You have kept me waiting long enough"
But though it was all on the whim of the creator, his magnanimity gave birth to a twisted sage.

Fated To Be
If God is not going to punish the sinner then I WILL. People sometimes say to you, "Don't bother with them, their karma will come back to them someday". That is why sometimes people break themself in order to wait for that moment. But sometimes that moment never comes and you yourself are the one rotting away in this miserable life, so why wait when you could put your hands in it? "You are wrong. Whether I am here or not, your punishment will always come to you, I just.. make it much sooner for you. As I didn't have time to wait any longer", he said with a dark gloomy eyes that had lost their lights. When Shen Wei ran away at the age of 15 years old, he never thought that he would come back again, trying to untie the knot that had been lingering in his heart for years, he came back once again trying to understand some events, but to be honest, for him, it is just an excuse, he just wants to see the lights once again, to be able to proudly says "Mom, I have made it, the sinner have already been punished and you have nothing to worry about anymore". Even if it means to drag others down to hell with him. Shen Wei, "Because since the beginning, we have not been given a choice, we have been entangled in this trap, if we don't struggle to get away, you and I will surely lose. And I.. am not the type of person who will easily let other people bully me" Notes: First time making my own character, I think it will be hard for me to clearly describe how the character would be, but I will try my best. I must say first that the timeline is around the early 20th century.. probably, it is fictional, so there must be things that are different compared to the history. Thank you for understanding and reading my work.

DanMachi: Descent Of A Tragedy
A long time ago, shortly before the Gods descended upon the lower world, Zeus spoke with a fellow deity. "Soon the divine will abdicate their place in heaven; they strive for entertainment in the lower world. However, I must demand that you remain here." The deity was confused, Zeus quickly caught onto his complicated expression. "Your divine power is far too great. Even if we were to seal it, you would likely become a tragedy to the beings of the lower world." Zeus expanded, understanding his explanation the deity hesitantly accepted the old God's demands. Soon after this conversation, the gods descended, The Deity was left trapped in an empty husk of the once bustling heaven. For a millennia the god was isolated and trained in completed solitude... each and everyday he practiced completely suppressing his divinity within his body. The process was grueling. The potent energy he locked within himself eventually began to tear him apart from the inside. In the end, the pain was only a small price to pay... If his torture succeseeded his divinity would be completely cotained and then he could finish step foot into the lower world without causing a tragedy. (This is an OC story and a lot of things probably won't be canon since I'm just going for a fun time while writing this story. ) (Also I know Azrael is an angel but for they're a god cuz why not) 🥇Freya 07/02/2025
