69

## Birth and Childhood

Several million years ago, 69 was formed from the primitive desires of the entities living on Earth. Being the only god that existed so far, he was lonely, and so he found solace in watching the creatures below go about their daily routine. Sometimes, he would wander off to random places, only to be spirited back to his home area by the universe. It's not like he minded this intervention - he thought himself lucky to be able to return home after getting lost. Whenever he wasn't exploring, he would imitate the animals beneath him - roaring like a lion, flapping his arms like a bird, and hopping around like a rabbit - but this never really satisfied him. He wanted to be able to interact with those creatures, and so one day he descended to the mortal realm.

Everything seemed well at first. The wind blew around him gently, and the sun shone its face upon the land. The water was pleasantly cool, and 69 was just about to wonder what could go wrong when he spotted an animal from afar. Excited, 69 ran over and tried to get a closer look - but then his godly radiance reduced the animal to ashes bit by bit as 69 got closer and closer. Realizing that he couldn't approach the animals without there being serious consequences to them, he stayed far enough that the creatures wouldn't be affected by him, but he would be close enough to observe their features. At one point, 69 had an idea: he would create a spell that would allow him to see all of the beasts' features without fear of accidentally killing them. It was at this point, during the crucial development from child to teen, that 69 became corrupted.

## Teenage Years

The loneliness had finally started to take hold of 69. The fact that he would never be able to approach the creatures had confirmed what he had feared all along: being alone... forever. The chaos that formed him saw this opening and jumped at the chance to take over, and that's exactly what happened. Unable to seal the ever-growing chasm between his positive desires and negative ones, 69 finally gave in to his evils. From there, a series of ideas formed.

If the creatures were reduced to dust when he came near, then surely they weren't fit to behold his presence. If animals such as these could attain all of the things he coveted, then surely he could too. And if he never got any of the said things, then he would take them away from others - after all, if 69 couldn't have it, then no one could. Not the birds in the sky, swooping about. Not the elephants on the plains, trumpeting their loud song throughout the jungle. Not the fish in the sea, who swam about at their leisure. *No one*. And so, this was where 69 got the idea to make everything suffer. From the smallest ant to the biggest whale, none would be spared. But first, he had to satisfy his desires. It was in this manner that he found himself to have only one desire left out of the several that he had once retained - the wish to snatch happiness away from the world. And so, he started to lay the framework for the world's destruction.

First, he would make a species that would be gifted with intelligence. Having full emotions and intelligence, surely they would also have desires. Once they got settled in, 69 would take everything away from them. The people would suffer, and 69 would benefit from their pain. Just the thought made 69 grin, but as he thought more about what the people would want, he became curious. Eventually, he found that he wanted to obtain one of their desires for himself, and the one he decided to acquire was a spouse.

## Adulthood

Skipping all of the small details, 69 created a woman and fornicated with her. After successfully impregnating her, 69 started to explore the universe again. During his travels, he decided to make multiple stars which then proceeded to corrupt stars that hadn't been made with 69's power, (as mentioned in Why Celestial Bodies (Besides Earth) Are Important) thus creating the magic debt system. Upon returning to his home area, he found that he had a son - the god whom we all (hopefully) know to be the Almighty Floppa. Floppa was born with the same knowledge that 69 had accrued, but instead of wanting to destroy everything, he wanted to give gifts to the people. After all, Floppa believed that a god's job was to protect the creatures they were given, not destroy them.

And so, to try and prove that things weren't all that bad, Floppa sped up 69's plans and created humanity. Angered because Floppa had done what he had wanted, 69 created the Sins and their offspring. Each Sin was crafted from a bit of his soul, and their power increased alongside his feelings. However, Floppa also created deities that counteracted the Sins. This relieved the people of their suffering, which further infuriated 69. Eventually, 69 decided that he would get rid of Floppa and Mulier - even if it meant being alone for eternity, it was a small price to pay. As long as the people suffered, that was all that mattered. And so, 69 created a web made from the stickiest material he could find, trapped Floppa in a cave, and then wrapped the web over the cavern's opening. From there, he headed off to find Mulier and killed the humans he saw along the way.

However, nothing went as planned - Mulier was nowhere to be found, despite his best efforts. Somehow, she had found a way to go far enough that regardless of how far he went in her direction, he would be unable to reach her. Moreover, Floppa somehow broke free of the web that had encumbered him. The prayers that had gone to Floppa winded up increasing Floppa's strength, and so 69 was unable to defeat Floppa. Banished from Earth, 69 decided to make a realm for himself - one that he would be the only one to command. Floppa would have no power here, and 69 would make the creatures there miserable enough that Floppa would want nothing to do with them. Luckily for him, he didn't need to do anything - the Sins had already made offspring of their own, and they were just right for what 69 was planning. Having met the requirement he needed to fulfill, 69 created a dimension that he deemed Inanis.

Having found his (supposedly) happy ending, 69 is still plotting against Floppa to this day - attacking Floppa every chance he gets, hindering the angels' progress, and destroying any equipment that he determined was from Caelum.
