I am Nyx.
I am the first god born alongside this universe and its creation.
How I came into existence, I do not know.
I have no idea what existed before me and the universe was born.
I simply existed, and this universe grew alongside me.
As I developed my intellect and formed my deity status as a complete god, I witnessed the changes of this universe.
Of course, I did not govern or dominate this universe.
I merely existed alongside it and observed.
Countless beings of intellect arose, endlessly creating and repeating.
Yet, I never felt the need to intervene; I simply existed.
Eventually, some began to transcend their mortal status and form their own deity powers.
Even so, compared to me, their divine status was lacking, so I felt no kinship with them.
They were merely beings fundamentally different from me.
Thus, I just existed.
Sometimes, there were those who pierced the veil of the universe and became aware of my existence.
They came to me, asking for power.
They sought the strength of the primal god, which is of a different caliber from other beings.
I granted power to all who sought me.
Those who came to me had the qualifications to do so.
However, none could fully accept my power.
All who tried to wield my strength eventually collapsed and perished.
Thus, the fragments of my power left behind by my deceased apostles wandered through various dimensions in the form of artifacts.
Holding the power of ‘Imagination,’ which conceals the secrets of the primordial universe.
The power of ‘Imagination’ is my unique ability that diverges from the ordinary powers of each dimension.
Therefore, those who possessed fragments of my power grew to become formidable figures that left marks in history across dimensions.
But… not a single one among them met a happy ending.
I observed them all, but every one of them faced a grim and miserable fate in the end, as if cursed.
They were killed by enemies who sought them out.
Betrayed by trusted comrades.
Or they lost loved ones and tragically took their own lives.
Whenever I tried to give them attention and affection, they vanished.
… I longed to have an apostle who could overcome it all someday.
Someone who could face me.
Sit alongside me.
Engage in conversation with me as an equal.
It was my lifelong wish to have such an existence.
Even after eons pass.
Even as the worlds and continents of intelligent beings repeat creation and destruction across countless dimensions, not a single one has ever existed that could withstand my power, that could escape the tragic fate summoned by my essence.
No matter how they overcame their first or second misfortunes, they always met a sorrowful ending from the new misfortunes that followed.
I gradually faded away.
And the more I dwindled, the greater my loneliness became.
In this vast universe across countless dimensions, not a single being could understand or resonate with me.
Simply coming into contact with me would lead them to a fateful end.
Just as I was about to give up.
– I am the ‘Son of Deus.’
I saw him.
Using fragments of my power with ease while overcoming countless fates of misfortune that came crashing down upon him and advancing forward.
He was met by the vanguard of ‘Chaos.’
A god obsessively seeking to become one with his son, due to the schemes of ‘Chaos’ that fixated on the contents of the scripture.
And even the original source of ‘Chaos’, the ancient god Ouroboros.
Numerous misfortunes attacked him.
But he overcame them all.
Furthermore, he protected those around him and emerged victorious.
As a result, his mother, who would perish.
Even in her dissolution, she remained with him, sacrificing herself to protect him.
However, her soul lingered near him.
He restored her soul and reclaimed her deity status, but due to her unstable spirit, they faced the worst catastrophe.
Perhaps this was the last misfortune that beset him.
Yes, let’s intervene.
No one else has overcome the fate of misfortune to this extent.
Only he can withstand my essence and stand with me.
Only he can become my apostle.
My true apostle and my… companion!
Before Deus, who was on the brink of dissolution due to regained memories through deity status, Luke was panicking.
I called him with my ‘Imagination.’
It has been a long time since anyone else has entered here.
He looked at me, bewildered.
– Young God. I am Nyx, the owner of the item you wielded.
He recalled my name and thought of the fragments of my power.
Did he realize that I am the master of ‘Imagination’?
Impressive.
That’s all there is.
– I will grant your wish.
– You will grant me a wish?
– Yes. Isn’t the life of the woman you love hanging by a thread right now?
I proposed to him.
That I would save his mother, Deus.
– I shall grant you the chance. I will stabilize her soul within her body.
But for that,
– I want you.
I will take you.
– For you to belong to me. That is my condition.
In this universe, the only man who can understand me and be my apostle.
Only you exist.
Conversely, the being most suitable for you exists only in me.
I granted him a thousand years of grace.
To me, a thousand years is but a moment.
Waiting a little longer is nothing.
Thus, as I changed the proposal, he struggled with it and ultimately accepted.
– Ha ha ha ha ha. The contract is established.
And thus… it is done.
I obtained all rights related to him through the contract.
A divine contract established between gods.
This contract would carry an unbreakable divine constraint, making him mine.
I used my power to restore Deus.
I stabilized her divine status.
And they reunited.
Through this, his misfortunes came to an end.
Unlike others who wielded my power, he met a complete conclusion.
A thousand years.
A moment in time.
If he waits just a bit longer, he will be mine.
I will finally obtain the only equal companion in this universe who can be with me.
Freedom from the long isolation at last…
I thought so.
Until she came looking for me.

Kuuum
Someone pierced the veil surrounding my domain.
– Who is it?
I went out to see who it was.
– Oh. It’s you.
I saw the goddess, Deus, grinning at me.
– Deus?
– Do you know me? Ah, you were the one who saved me, right? Yes, yes.
How did you get here?
You pierced through the veil and entered?
Until now, those who entered have only been the cosmic deities who dominate hundreds of dimensions or practitioners who have attained enlightenment over thousands of epochs.
It shouldn’t be possible without considerable attainment or training.
Has her level risen that much in the meantime?
– Thank you for saving me. I must express my gratitude. But while I was gone, you seemed to be looking after our son, didn’t you?
The immense divine presence emanating from her.
It’s not ordinary.
This… is… equal to me or more!
But still, she is a young god with a history that is not long.
I cannot lose.
– Hah. Hah. … I can’t believe you would lose.
– Now, as promised, I will take back all rights regarding our son. You have no objections, right?
– Hah… there’s nothing I can do. I shall transfer all rights I hold over Luke Christos to you as per our contract.
I clashed with her over the rights to Luke.
The victor would hold all rights to him.
She risked her rights over herself.
Given her significant stake within Luke, she accepted this competition to fully possess him, but…
I never imagined she would be strong enough to defeat me.
I lost all rights regarding Luke.
I have lost my only companion.
The only being who could understand me.
I can’t let this go.
Even if I could move everything in this universe, what use is it if there is no being that can understand me?
I opened a portal leading to Luke’s dimension.
Since my birth, I had never left my domain even once.
I knew my very existence could destroy another dimension.
Thus, I only observed the outer universe through my apostles or auxiliary means.
I couldn’t leave myself.
But a clone would be different.
I created my first avatar since my birth.
And I crossed through the dimensional door.
