## History

### Real life

He had just completed his graduation a year before the release of Divinity and started working as a software designer. He didn't work for any big organization as he wanted to be his own boss. He used to develop android games at that time and earned money from them.

Although he didn't earn an excessive amount, the earnings were still pretty decent.

He was an orphan. His father and mother had both died in a car accident when he was just 18 years old. Ryder was told that a truck hit the car of his parents. Thankfully, they left some savings, and he was able to continue his studies.

There was someone else who lived in the house with him. It was a girl whose name was Alice. Her parents also died together with Ryder's parents. Since the accident, Alice has been living with him.

### Past Life : Chaos

* "He was born in a time of peace. There were no wars. Everywhere was peace. All gods had an Element that they inherited from their parents. They were the ones who were going to inherit the element and the position of their parents after growing up."
* "In that time of peace was born a boy who was named Chaos..."
* "You want to know why he was named that?"
* "It was because the peace was destroyed with his arrival. On the day he was born, before he could even be named, his mother died of sickness. It was the first time a goddess had died of sickness. That same day, another prominent god declared war on the boy's father."
* "The whole Heaven was thrown into the pit of war after an eternity of peace. All before the boy could even be named..."
* "His father blamed him. After two months of being born, he finally got his name— Chaos, the God of Nothing."
* "It was a time when all kids inherited the abilities of their parents, including their Divinity. But Chaos was different. He was born without any abilities. He was the first child that was born without Divinity..."
* "That was why others made fun of him by calling him the God of Nothing."
* "The boy didn't have any Divinity, but he was a really great painter. His paintings were so beautiful."
* "What happened was that he wasn't actually as useless as everyone assumed. It was when the boy was ten years old when everyone realized that"
* "When the boy was eight years old was when his father married again. His father married another goddess. He also had a son who was one year old when Chaos was ten years old."
* " As you may guess, Chaos received no importance. Everyone detested him for being weak, including his own father. But he never hated his father. He only had love, not only for his father but for his new step brother as well."
* "His brother was only one year old. Chaos was sitting near him. Their parents were outside; it was a meeting of the gods. Only the two kids were home"
* "Something bad did happen. The one year old boy accidentally used his ability that he had received from his father to open a portal, unaware of anything. And from the portal, came they..."
* "The Dark Crawlers..."
* "They are the frightening creatures that aren't born. They just came into existence in random corners of the space because of the increasing darkness in the world. Normally they can't enter the Heaven, but because of that portal, they were able to"
* "It was the Dark Crawlers that died. All of them. Not a single scratch or harm came to the one year old boy."
* "The Crawlers were killed by the parents of the boys. And you also guessed it right. Chaos was punished by their parents"
* "Half an hour after the Night Crawlers entered their home did the parents come back. When they came back, they saw the Crawlers all around their house. Strangely enough, no Crawlers were attacking the young kid"
* "It was all because of Chaos. When their parents came back, everything was revealed. They saw Chaos controlling the Crawlers. That was why the entire blame fell on Chaos"
* "Honestly, Crawlers are creatures of Darkness. Basically, no one can control them. No one can even understand them. According to our knowledge, Crawlers only have one purpose— destroying what they see."
* "So for someone to not only be able to talk to them but to control them was pretty shocking for the parents, especially when it was their eldest son"
* "To understand even a fraction of the Crawlers language, a person must be filled with extreme darkness from top to bottom. Even the Demons don't have that much evil darkness. That's why no one can even understand them. But Chaos was not only able to understand them but even control them"
* What happened was that Chaos was controlling the beasts, trying to see what he could do when his parents came there and saw everything. It was only after a minute that they came out of their daze and shouted at Chaos, attracting his attention."
* "Chaos was shocked and frightened at the sudden noise and lost his control as he looked towards his father. The Crawlers all attacked his father."
* "The father thought that this was intentional by Chaos. The mother also agreed, saying that it was because their father loved their little son more. That's why Chaos was upset and wanted to kill them"
* "This whole situation was messy. The misunderstanding was big. And the potential of Chaos being filled with Darkness, nothing like what had ever appeared before, made them trust their notion"
* "Chaos was punished. No matter how bad their father was, he still didn't expose his son to other gods. They kept it a secret and made Chaos take the Heavenly Oath that he would never use whatever he did to control the Crawlers again"
* "And with the Heavenly Oath, Chaos couldn't control the Crawlers. If he did, he was going to die. So once again, he became the God of Nothing"
* "When he was fifteen, he got into his first fight. It was when everyone found out that he wasn't actually useless since he was able to defeat seven godchildren at once. Apparently, he had abilities. It was just that no one knew about it"
* "The day he first controlled the Crawlers was when he started awakening, I think. But he didn't tell his parents. He already had a bad experience with them. They had already made him take a Heavenly Oath to stop him from using his only heavenly ability."
* " That's why he didn't tell them about the powers that he awoke later. I guess he was a bit scared that they would force him not to use them as well."
* " So for five years, he kept them a secret. He lived his life as a useless god, despite potentially being the most talented out of all"
* "They did something pretty bad indeed. Honestly, if God of Time and God of Space hadn't arrived in time to stop the battle and to calm Chaos, he would probably have killed those seven"
* "The God of Time and the God of Space were the closest friends of Chaos. Everyone knew that Chaos was useless and had no ability. Not a single person treated him with respect except a few, which included two kids that were going to take the mantle of God of Time and God of Space"
* "I think it was lucky that they had stopped Chaos. If it was someone else, he might not have stopped"
* "Now that it was known that he wasn't useless and had more abilities, how did his father react?"
* "It was clear. First, they scolded him for attacking the seven. But they didn't punish him after knowing that they deserved it. They also seemed somewhat happy to know that their son had some abilities, potentially not negative, unlike the Crawler-related abilities."
* " But since the boy didn't wish to tell, he refused. So his father didn't force him; he even took a Heavenly Oath before his father that he would never tell anyone about his abilities. With that, his father couldn't ask him. Since there was no way for him to tell without dying."
* "This action enraged his father, bringing even more tension in the relationship between the two. Anyway, now that people knew he had abilities, he didn't need to keep his strength in control or stay hidden. He just didn't use his main abilities ever."
* "After that, his rise was very swift. He became one of the strongest of his time and ultimately became one of the strongest that lived in the Demon Realm. Despite all that, no one knew about his real abilities."
* "His new name was Chaos— God of Mystery. It was because he was a big mystery which no one truly understood.
