I don’t remember much. After waking up, it seems that I forgot everything that could have happened before. But there was that book, next to me. Was that mine? I can’t remember at all. A book, in the forest, for no reason, without any sign of whoever could have written that book. No sign. No… name. That book was about the legend of the creation of this world. This world… it’s not the original one is it? I… I can’t remember if it is. Anyway…Once upon a time, two goddesses, “Zrecxra” (Zrec-se-ra) and “EExporoua” (Ex-pour-o), known at the time as Yin and Yang to mortals, were both the creators of the universe, working together to make Dark and Light, Good and Bad, and Life and Death. They’ve lived peacefully for awhile, both using their powers for their own good. Both were impressionable, watching as the mortals lived, had families, and survived through nature.EExporoua decided that the mortals don't have enough thanks for the pleasure they brought to her, and she decided to give them prosperity. Zrecxra, however, thought they did have enough and that the world fell into too much light. Zrecxra released monsters and chaos upon the world for almost a decade. In that time EExporoua was forgotten, and when a god is forgotten, they stop existing.It was until years later when stories of the deity started to arise again as hope started to reclaim the land. EExporoua woke to find that their mortal crops had died, and that Earth was stuck in an eternity of night. After almost a year of searching, she found her partner, tucked away with their newborn child. She found this an act of selfishness and fought a long battle with Zrecxra. Eventually she won and banished her away.After years went by, Zrecxra was forgotten. The world was in what felt like an eternity of happiness, although they didn’t know it. As when you can't feel negativity, there is no positivity. Banishing Zrecxra was the worst decision EExporoua could have ever made. After realizing that she was causing her people harm, she brought Zrecxra back into the world by spreading stories of her deeds. Cults formed. The two careless gods made an agreement to work together and to not let their power take them over by splitting their abilities up into the mortals, creating demigods. Eventually they got the names we know them by, now shortened to Zrecao and EExpo.… Zrecao and EExpo. What intriguing names. Although we know about their past, the book ends at their accord and we don’t know who they actually are. What do they look like. We don’t know - maybe we won’t ever know - what happened to them since. Such a captivating tale. A tale of Dark and Light. Delightful, isn’t it, Zero?_{(Legend by Zrecao and EExpo)}

? - Just- a little bit more-
? - And... here you go, Zero!
? - Phew, that was difficult to reach. I didn’t think that chest was that far from us and that close from the spawner.
? - There are lots of skeletons inside now. Did you finish eating the golden apple?
Zero nods.
? - Noice. Maybe let’s head back home? My clock is indicating us that it’s getting late outside, it’s the evening.
? - Let’s explore that mineshaft tomor- wait... is that what I think?
? - ...
? - Let’s stay at home tomorrow.??? - LUM LUM GET BACK HERE!
Translucidity - AAAAA WHAT DID I DO-
??? tackles Translucidity on the ground.
Translucidity - W-what’s wrong my smol nuggi?... Rikol, is everything alright?
Rikol - Your child.
Translucidity - What?
Rikol - HE IS ANNOYING ME LUM LUM.
Translucidity - Oh.
Rikol gets off of Trans.
Zero runs towards Rikol, behind him.
Zero - Papa!
Translucidity - Hewwo Zero. What did you do with Rikol?
Zero - I just hit him with your 竹.
Rikol - What the hell is that thing.
Translucidity - Nothing. Just my ectoplasm being chaotic and making a weird solid object.
Translucidity - I’m sure it won’t harm. Zero, can you give it back? Hitting people is not nice, go to the corner.
Translucidity - Now that I look at it closer, it seems... interesting...Translucidity - Wh-what did I do... why are these people here? I’m... no... I’m scared... where am I?
? - You know what you did. You’re in your laboratory, experimenting on your child and innocent individuals.
Translucidity - No... I didn’t.
? - Yes you did.
Translucidity - Who are you?
? - Who are you?
Translucidity - I’m... Translucidity.
? - Are you sure?
Translucidity - I am.
? - Well, guess who I am. Remember me?
Translucidity - I... forgot. I forgot who you are.
? - Mumei.
Translucidity - What?
Mumei - Remember me now?
Translucidity starts feeling dizzy... he collapses. His ectoplasm flows even more from his head. He seems unconscious and to be struggling.
Mumei - I guess you will forget me again soon.Mumei - I’ve been researching for some clues to find out why I’m here, but it seems like I’m completely amnesiac and nothing around me may help me. Uh...
Mumei - Despite my amnesia, I still can recall some... names?
Mumei - Mine - or maybe not mine and some others’. Why do I remember these names anyway?
Mumei puts his hand in a backpack he found when he woke up.
Mumei - Wait, I don’t remember this being inside... what’s this?
The little fox boy found a knife. A really sharp one.
Mumei - Wait wha?? Holy sh- that’s dangerous why is it there?Everything seems different; it doesn’t look like the lands Zrecao and EExpo created. It definitely isn’t: it’s a different world. With different gods, and different characters with different roles.
Mumei looks a bit different from the one known in that world. He’s not a demi fox boy, actually he never was. Mumei is just a human, or it seems like it. He’s not wearing a sort of uniform, but a long t-shirt, maybe a dress, and gray long socks. Here, he’s just sitting on the border of a building’s roof. And also, probably, the border of the world.
Reika, who’s sitting next to him, is wondering what’s beyond that limit.
Mumei - Reika, do you remember?
Reika - Huh? Remember what?
Mumei - When we woke up, a while ago. Did you feel that?
Reika - Feel what?
Mumei - It’s hard to explain...
...
Mumei - Do you remember when I told you about me sleeping in that field?
Reika - Yeah?
Mumei - I felt like when I woke up again, I was divided or something.
Reika - You are divided.
Mumei - Not like that, in some other way.
Reika - Hmm...
Mumei - If I got divided, does that mean there’s a me somewhere, wandering we don’t know where?
Reika - Maybe. Anyway, go to sleep, I wanna study this city a little bit more, but it’s too late, I’m tired...
Mumei - Fine. Good night I guess.

She crouches, and, with the goat legs she was given by her species the Floweret Satyr, the Goddess of Light, trying to find the Astral Bird - Rikol Ishimitsu - bounces to reach the endless sky again. Where could he be? Is he busy or something, she asked herself. She should have found some hints that could lead her to him, like some magical particles in the air if he’s been flying recently. But nothing…After a while, she saw a lavender feather - that must be his! And another one, and another one. She followed a trail of purple feathers that was leading to… a tree? EExpo dives into that tree, where many particles of many colors came from. There was no Astral Bird there; but an old friend instead was standing there, painting with his dark feathers.“Hey Crow,” she said. Once known as the Omen of Death, the God of Creativity responded to her greeting, waving at her. “What are you painting?”
“... Nothing specific, just letting my creativity express itself.”
“Nice, has Sunpapa been there lately?” she says, showing him the feathers she gathered.
“Bruh- EExpo, these are my feathers.”
“Huh? These are obviously feathers that Astral Birds leave wh-”
“They’re mine, I painted something purple and the paint dyed my feathers purple.” Crow says, laughing quietly, before heading over his marvelous painting.
“Oh. Well, I guess I won’t find him soon. May I paint with you?”Crow holds out a feather to the goat lady. And they paint during the entire day, forgetting every trouble around them. Was the painting beautiful? Maybe not. However, they enjoyed painting for a moment together, and that’s what’s important.

2 — Plaza of PrideThat father, the “Sunpapa,” actually was on the other side of the world, hanging out with his friend, a gloomy mauve specter called Translucidity. Or “Lum Lum,” that’s how Rikol calls him - or “My Small Nuggi,” that’s how Translucidity calls him.
The “Plaza of Pride,” that was the name that was given to the place the ghost created. Many tiny islands, in a lake surrounded by an interminable forest, hooked to an island full of flags displaying the pride of a countless amount of people, the “Main Island.” Even though he was supposed to be the only resident of this lake, many creatures and humans passed by Translucidity’s home, either to annoy him or to admire the flags that have been set there.
The radiant sun was setting. Rikol was having fun with Translucidity, flying around and jumping everywhere. Of course, he broke the side of his friend’s bed again and shrunk himself to the size of a rat in order to hide under the bed. Just a normal day like the others.
How did these two completely different creatures meet and become the greatest friends? The specter can’t remember the day they met for the first time, and, just like the others, Rikol probably doesn’t remember either. They probably remember how they felt the first time they encountered when Rikol barged into Translucidity’s glimmering house in the woods, but they can’t remember what exactly happened. Everything that has happened in the past, stayed in the past. To never come back again.
“Night soon,” Translucidity said with a monotonous voice. “Wanna stay tonight?”
“I’m stealing your bed,” Rikol replied. Lucid doesn’t need to sleep, he can stay up and check if no monsters are going to disturb the Sunpapa’s slumber.It was getting dark, Rikol slept in the bed while Translucidity was protecting him from potential monsters. Meanwhile, the ghost’s children were playing on the main island: their names were Zero and Prosciutto. Zero was a little human, who was adopted by Translucidity after Mu-... his father died. He’s a very curious eleven years old boy with empty eyes, and also a big troublemaker, who keeps getting in trouble. His younger brother, who’s only two years younger, Prosciutto, is a nine-tailed fox Translucidity found in a delta desert. Proto came out of a deep lava pool, and because he seemed to be alone, Lucid decided to adopt him. The two children had a good relationship and never argued with each other, even though they were siblings.While they were playing, they noticed the presence of someone up in the sky. A blurry silhouette in the pitch-black sky, watching over all four of them. Though they couldn’t see who it could be, Zero knew that it was the Dark.3 — Memories of the Past and the FutureWatching so many microscopic, and yet so significant mortals and dead… Humans, but also hybrids, creatures, provoking chaos but also providing light, and then forgetting everything to cause mayhem and peace over and over again… It becomes overwhelming at some point.Whenever there’s a catastrophe in the world, I’m always here to… “fix” it. And they recidivate. They can’t remember. Not even her; I was the first. I created this world alone first. I fixed everything, it’s not the first time. How many times have I fixed the world… 3 times already? No… 4? Probably. Not even them; they were the first along with me, and yet they don’t remember anything either. Not even him; whose memory is supposed to degrade to recover right after. Not even him; whose powers have been sealed forever. Not even him; who I always trusted.Many of them started recalling some memories. Claire, zSpectr and Avery probably remember to some extent the Foxden, maybe Michael, Rikol and Translucidity can recognize the Desert Temple, and Adam might remember the first time he caused chaos every time he finds himself in a village.What if I... I'm going to leave this world again. It's time to shift to the next world again, to change everything again. It is time to rebuild everything. I think I am being a little bit too impulsive, but I don't think this world has anything to do anymore. I need to find the perfect world. The heaven. That's it, the heaven.She glances at the two children below. They're already happy together. Does she really need to keep on restarting everything until the world is perfect? She sighs. Maybe she doesn't have to. But she doesn't care.The 5th world just ended, she thought so. She just restarted the reality for the 5th time, she's now in the 6th one. However, the world didn't seem to change for these two kids. Zrecao went on with more and more resets. But she didn't think that one world, just one, would remain untouched. The 5th world is still there, and it is still evolving without her and the “new ones.”
