The Supreme Ruler and the top Outer Gods decided to play a game of chess.
And so, the Supreme God of another universe died.
The four Pillar Gods who remained began slaughtering one another in a scramble for the throne of the Supreme God and the power that came with it.
Then the game The Godless Realm was released, and players poured into it in a frenzy.
Those blessed by the gods received a message.
The strongest player would be granted a wish that could make anything come true.
And so the reformers who believed the real world needed to change, the madmen who thought the world needed no other beings, the Awakened troubled by fate, and the lunatics fortunate enough to glimpse the abyss's true knowledge all strove for that one and only "chance to change everything."
But before any of that...
"First, let's congratulate the South City Second Mental Hospital team on winning the first-ever group tournament in The Godless Realm!"
"Let's give these lunatics a round of applause and a celebratory barrage of fireworks!"
