[ In a time long before the existence of the earth and the heavens, there were two brothers in a world devoid of any other beings. They were content in each other's presence.

One day, the Elder Deity accidentally broke the Younger Deity's cherished sword. Engulfed by anger, the Young Deity retaliated by slashing the Elder Deity's treasured Spear with his broken sword. The spear cleaved in half, causing the Elder Deity to erupt in rage. With their hearts filled with fury, they eventually engaged in a fierce battle.

The war raged on for seven days and nights. On the eighth day, the Young Deity realized the foolishness of their actions and approached the Elder Deity to request a truce. But the Elder Deity, still blinded with anger, saw this as an opening and launched an attack. The spear pierced the Young Deity's heart, taking his life.

The Young Deity's final breath ascended and became the heavens. His fallen body transformed and became the Earth. His soul descended and became the Netherworld. Overwhelmed by great shame, the Elder Deity wept. His tears fell upon the Earth, transforming into raindrops that nourished the barren land and formed vast oceans.

The Elder Deity mourned the loss of the Young Deity for many years. However, as time passed, he gradually grew accustomed to his sad and lonely life. Realizing that the Earth was devoid of any life, the Elder Deity created a pantheon of Gods and Goddesses, each bestowed with unique powers and responsibilities to take care of the Earth.

Nevertheless, as Gods were sentient beings, one couldn't avoid the darkness within their hearts. Over time, disagreements and conflicts arose among them. What began as minor arguments escalated into full-blown war.

Furious at the damage they caused on Earth, the Elder Deity stripped their immortality and placed a curse upon them. They would forever be banned from setting their feet in the heavens. With that, the Elder Deity sealed the celestial realm doors.

One by one, the Gods and Goddesses fell in the war. Due to the curse, their power couldn't enter the heavens to return to the Elder Deity. Eventually, their power turned into Orbs, which became known as the Sacred Orbs.

The moment the Orb fused with the mortal, they would stop aging, be immune to plague/disease, and gain the ability to instantly wield God's power, we named them 'Endless'.

Although Endless was ageless, they would meet their demise if heavily injured, whether physically or magically—just like any other mortal. However, great power came with a great price. As an Endless, one should be able to 'harness' God's power within them. If they failed to do so, they would lose their sanity before finally succumbing to their demise. ]

Knocks reverberated into the study room, interrupting Adrian's reading session. He tore his gaze away from the pages and shifted his attention to the door, commanding, "Come in."

The aged wooden door creaked open, revealing Fredinand entering the room. Arriving before him, the old man bowed, "Your Highness, His Highness Prince Nathaniel's convoy is estimated to arrive in half an hour. His Grace requires your presence."

Closing the purple book, Adrian nodded, "I understand. I'll be there in fifteen minutes."

Bowing respectfully for the second time, Fredinand exited the room.

Heaving out a sigh, Adrian rose from his seat and rolled his feet toward the balcony. A gust of wind embraced him, causing his hair and garments to dance in its invisible melody. The sunlight illuminated his locks, giving them a radiant glow. Glancing down, the courtyard was bustling with activities, where knights, maids, and butlers were preparing for Nathaniel's arrival.

It had been exactly twenty days since Adrian and his brother completed their temporary exile. Just as he was preparing to make his way back to the Capital City, Nathaniel unexpectedly reached out to him for the first time in two long years, saying that he would visit the Safonyx Castle to pick him up.

Adrian had no idea the reason behind his brother's decision, as Nathaniel could have easily waited for him at the Sun Castle. Nonetheless, he appreciated the gesture and agreed to the plan.

During the past two years, his life had been relatively uneventful. With no one to provide him with information about the Endless or Sacred Orbs, added with his uncle and grandfather keeping a close eye on him, he remained oblivious to the cult's activities and had yet to uncover any clues about Chrono.

He spent his time training, participating in subjugating monsters, helping manage the fief, and occasionally joining the patrol on the Western border. Nevertheless, as his Mana Pool was damaged, his magical ability was degraded and could only increase his physical strength.

Also, unlike in the novel or the first timeline, Adrian didn't die.

Lifting his head and staring into the vast expanse of the cerulean sky, his mind drifted. As Nathaniel was 16 years old, then the start of the novel was only two years away. However, with the numerous twists and turns that he had altered, Adrian couldn't fathom what the world had in store for him.

Shaking off his thoughts, Adrian returned to his study room. His eyes fell upon the purple book that lay on his desk. Lifting it, he mumbled, "I need to find the truth about Chrono." He stored the book in his Magical Sphere and went to the Castle entrance along with Fredinand.

Upon reaching the entrance hall, Adrian noticed Graham and Sarah engaged in a conversation. Their faces lit up with warmth as they caught sight of him, and they greeted him with genuine smiles. However, their exchange was interrupted by a loud shout from one of the knights, drawing their attention.

"His Highness Prince Nathaniel has arrived!"

In response to the announcement, the massive portcullis slowly began to rise. Four majestic black horses pulled a grand carriage adorned with Delacroix pennant, fluttering atop it. Behind them, a procession of knights on horseback followed closely, their armor gleaming under the sunlight. The rhythmic sound of hooves resonated through the air as the horses galloped across the courtyard.

The coachman deftly parked the carriage in front of the entrance hall, and the butler promptly opened the door. Stepping out of the carriage, a young man with lustrous black hair and dressed in regal attire approached them. It was Nathaniel.

Graham, Sarah, and Adrian bowed respectfully, "We greet His Highness Prince Nathaniel," they said in unison.

Acknowledging their greeting, Nathaniel nodded, "You may rise."

Adrian straightened his back, meeting his brother's gaze. There was a flicker of sadness in his golden eyes, but Nathaniel managed to muster a thin smile. "It's been a while," he greeted him.

Returning the smile, Adrian replied, "Yes, it has."

A/N:

This novel's world background is inspired by dothack//G.U. and Suikoden.

Also, don't worry, this novel doesn't have a plot like Naruto, lmao. I'm just explaining the origin of the Sacred Orbs.
