In the Planar World of Seirei Gensouki, there existed Transcendent Beings—the Seven Wise Gods, the Six Great Spirits, and the Dragon King—who had supported the one and only True God of that world for thousands of years.
The True God created the world and governed its entire contents together with the Transcendents.
But one day, the True God decided to depart from the world. Only the fourteen Transcendents remained.
Before leaving the world, the True God gave specific instructions to the Transcendents and left behind several rules to be obeyed. After that, he vanished without a trace.
Following the disappearance of the one and only True God, the Transcendents had to work together in the name of the True God to manage the world under the established laws.
When the True God was still present, he actively governed mankind by making prophecies and sometimes adding direct punishments. The True God governed the history of mankind and established the rules of society, and the people obeyed him. If anyone disobeyed the prophecies, thereby causing errors and evils to be born, the True God would punish them and eradicate the source down to its very roots.
It was a world that moved in the direction that the True God pointed.
All ideal life and cities could only be created by the True God, in harmony with one another. That was what the world was like before he left. The True God left behind such a utopia and entrusted the Transcendents to manage it.
The Transcendents were assigned roles before the True God left. They were ordered to limit their management of the world to the bare minimum.
Without the direct guidance of the True God, mankind began its own journey. As a result, people's opinions began to conflict with one another, creating differences in individual values.
What was once a single complete whole for thousands of years was now split into several smaller groups, creating disparities in social status as well as wealth, until a great war broke out among mankind.
The world became far more chaotic compared to when the True God was still present. But the Transcendents stuck firmly to the True God's command and merely observed in silence. They only interfered in the world's affairs when something they could not ignore occurred—solely to fulfill their roles.
As the centuries passed, there was constant war and death, until several of the Transcendents lamented the fallen world. Some even felt despair and completely turned away from mankind.
Among them, the ones who wanted to do something were the Seven Wise Gods. Because of the absolute constraints imposed on them before the True God left, they wanted to bring back the True God who had disappeared to another dimension, and began researching ways to open a hole between dimensions.
However, that was difficult even with the capabilities of the Transcendents.
Using ordinary spatial magic was impossible—it literally required the power of the True God to make it happen.
"..."
Charlie rubbed his temples slowly, trying to digest the heap of new information entering his head all at once.
"It turns out... Rio is the reincarnation of one of the fourteen Transcendents, the Dragon King?! In other words, one soul with three lives!" He murmured in disbelief. "The line of reincarnation for Rio's soul began from the Dragon King in that fantasy world. The soul then reincarnated on Earth to become Amakawa Haruto. After Haruto died due to a train accident, this soul reincarnated back to its original world as Rio."
Charlie gave a wry smile on the cold veranda. "Wow, who would have thought that the template character I initially chose for appearance reasons to match my aesthetics actually has a hidden background no less illustrious than the Big Three?"
Charlie could not help but associate Rio's background with three legendary shounen protagonists.
Wasn't Uzumaki Naruto initially introduced as an orphan who was ostracized by everyone in the village? Yet as time passed, it was revealed that he was the son of the Fourth Hokage and his mother was the previous generation's Kyuubi Jinchuriki. He possessed the prestigious bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan, and he himself was the reincarnation of a god's son, Otsutsuki Asura.
Then Kurosaki Ichigo, who was originally thought to be just an ordinary high school student accidentally involved in Shinigami trouble, turned out to be a highly rare and unique hybrid. Inside his body flowed a combination of blood and power from all the major races existing in the world of Bleach, ranging from Shinigami, Quincy, Hollow, to Fullbringer.
Lastly, Monkey D. Luffy, who appeared as an ordinary village boy with a big dream, but in reality, his grandfather was a Marine Hero and his father was the supreme leader of the Revolutionary Army. Even the Devil Fruit he ate was not a regular rubber Paramecia-Type as told from the beginning, but a Mythical Zoan-Type in the form of the Sun God Nika!
"It has to be said, a person's original background ultimately determines the level of success very much." Charlie chuckled softly, then continued analyzing the information regarding the Transcendents. "Among the 14 Transcendent Beings, the Dragon King is recognized as the strongest entity in one-on-one combat."
"The specific reason why his power is called Transcendent is because the Dragon King was equipped with an ability named Annihilation by the True God."
"This ability is not just regular elemental magic, but a Divine Authority to erase the existence or negate the causality of anything deemed a threat to the world."
However, Charlie's excitement over successfully obtaining that terrifying power of a Transcendent quickly subsided. His brow furrowed sharply again as he read the next line of information.
"The Transcendents govern the world in place of the True God in a world where the True God has departed. And the Transcendents possess the power to destroy even the world itself if they so desire."
"Therefore, the True God has established a rule so that a Transcendent does not side with a specific individual or group, and a specific individual or group cannot side with a Transcendent."
"Every time a Transcendent uses his power... he will be forgotten by the world."
Charlie had a bad feeling regarding the rule established by the True God for the Transcendents.
And sure enough, within seconds, his greatest worry instantly became reality.
CREAK!
The sliding door of the veranda slowly opened. Mahiru, who had just finished bathing, stepped out with her body wrapped only in a single white towel.
However, the moment she saw the figure of the silver-white haired youth sitting on the veranda, her steps instantly halted.
The girl hurriedly hid a part of her body behind the door frame, only poking her head out with an expression of face filled with high alertness.
With a tone of voice full of suspicion and worry, she reprimanded.
"Wh-Who are you?! Why are you able to be inside my house?Pairs!"
"...?"
Charlie turned around. The expression on his face was incredibly shocked to hear the sentence that came from the lips of his lover.
"Mahiru... what are you saying? Are you joking with me?"
He tried to give a small laugh even though his heart began to race wildly.
"..."
However, the expression on Mahiru's face appeared serious. There was no glimmer of love or warmth that she usually showed. While squeezing the edge of her towel tightly, she warned firmly,
"Don't mess around! I don't recognize who you are at all! Leave my house right now, or I will contact the police immediately!"
Charlie: "😐"
He could feel very clearly that the girl was absolutely not lying or acting.
Mahiru truly looked at him with a cold gaze—a gaze intended only for an unknown stranger.
