The Far Side of the Moon

As the Son of God, Samuel's name nonetheless foretells death.

Countless people coveted his divine power, yet all met their end beneath his holy sword.

Until one day, a girl appeared.

The holy city of the Emerald Heart has been shrouded in plague for three months. This silent calamity sweeps across the land, leaving everyone in its path, whether human, elf, or mechanical being, sunk in a sleep from which they cannot awaken.

Hope once rested on a single person: Samuel, the Son of God.

But just as despair began to spread, Samuel discovered that his bond with God was quietly severing, and his once-vast divine power was slipping away like sand. A Son of God without power was no longer needed.

He did his best to conceal this cruel truth, but his followers saw through him all the same. Their faith crumbled in an instant, and their devotion turned to greed. Tearing away the mask of their pious reverence, they swarmed like locusts to drain the last of his divine power.

Then, one night, when his power had run completely dry and he lay at death's door, the beautiful girl he had once taken in bent over and gently caressed his pale face. Her voice was as soft as a kiss, yet she coaxed him like a devil whispering in his ear:

"Abandon your God... Come into my arms. I will grant you power that surpasses all of this."

God said, let there be light.

And the world was filled with light.

But darkness followed close behind.
