A very long time ago, there was nothing that we could comprehend—no world, solar system, or universe. This was a time even before the concept of existence itself.
In this emptiness, a small speck of energy existed, no larger than an atom, floating alone in the vast, starry void.
In very simplified terms, it was a lump of unimaginable energy with some sentience, later named the" Primordial Creator".
Then, one day, that speck diverged—a phenomenon hypothesized in a plethora of theories, each unique in its own way.
No one knows how or why it occurred; the only certainty is that after this divergence, everything we know, as well as everything we do not know, came into existence.
Most of the energy condensed into three distinct existences, each somewhat similar to the primordial creator. Each of these existences inherited a specific portion of the primordial creator's power.
The first was called the "True Creator," who oversaw the domain of creation, encompassing everything that exists, both living and non-living.
The second was the "God of Continuity," tasked with the role of maintaining the existence of the universe.
The third was the "Primordial Desecrator," the assimilator of everything that exists.
These were omnipotent beings truly worthy of the title 'God.' However, they were not the same as the gods that some civilizations worshipped. Although their level of sentience was more developed than that of the True Creator, it still did not resemble the emotions understood by lower life forms. They had no concepts of anger or kindness, nor did they possess any form, be it humanoid or otherwise.
They simply existed, powerful entities overseeing reality itself, unaffected by any emotion.
There did exist some entities whose concepts were similar to what mortals believed gods to be. These were deities—former mortals whose existences had been enhanced to a higher frequency. They were among the few who survived the pre-cataclysm and contained remnants of the True Creator, the God of Continuity, and the Primordial Desecrator within themselves.
These deities experienced emotions, albeit very subtly compared to mortals, and they were not all-powerful. A small portion of the essence that remained created different universes and dimensions, while the majority was scattered in the form of uncontainable energy known as dark matter.
This dark matter caused anomalies in various worlds, particularly those of a higher plane of existence.
but,
It was also what the "Heroes" utilized to resolve these anomalies.

Meanwhile,
"So, you mean to say that I am supposed to be the hero who will save a world with an anomaly."
"Yes"
"And if I refuse, I will just go 'poof!!!' and become energy that was used to create me."
"Yes"
"And if I fail, I will be tortured in the river of consciousness as punishment."
"Y..Yes?"
"ISN'T THIS SLAVERYYYYY!!!"
