   This is a traditional, hand-written story, not meant to lower intelligence. The unsystematic thoughts of humanity gave rise to gods. But when humanity began to contradict itself—fighting for peace, xenophobic for self-preservation, lying for the sake of truth—the gods went mad. The corrupted gods twisted humanity into monsters, and the end of civilization was fast approaching. Nations formed supernatural organizations to secretly fight this war without gunfire. And I am the only one who can see the source of the corruption. But I live in a mental hospital. My medical record says: severe paranoia, accompanied by violent tendencies. My fellow patients call me crazy, my doctor says I'm beyond help. They don't know that last night I single-handedly dismantled a monster that tried to devour an entire floor.
