Aeternitas Mortalitatis: Futilitas Hominis
Sypnosis:
A tormented narrator navigates a nightmarish metaphysical realm after losing his wife and child to war. Fleeing through the "Tormented Path" while his flesh literally peels away, he arrives at the Cathedral of Cosmos, where he encounters the Indomitable Magistrate, a terrifying divine entity with absolute power.
The Magistrate mocks the narrator's suffering and presents him with weapons etched with mathematical equations, then resurrects his deceased wife as a reconstructed form. Under the Magistrate's psychological manipulation, the narrator's grief transforms into violent rage. He ritually flays his wife with the Bayesian Blade in what becomes the "Liturgy of the Flayed," a perverse sacrament where pain is elevated to transcendence.
When the narrator attempts to attack the Magistrate in defiance, his effort proves futile. The Magistrate dismisses the violence as childish while cosmic bodies dance in chaos, establishing the narrator's transformation into the "Madman Prophet" who will build his own temple of torment.
The story explores themes of powerlessness against divine cruelty, the corruption of love through trauma, and the transformation of suffering into a nihilistic theology where pain becomes the only truth in an indifferent universe devoid of salvation.
