Reality is no longer stable. Adam Kael solved something he was never meant to understand-and now the world is changing around him. Time stutters. People forget incorrectly.

What he thought was a journey of solving worlds turns into something far worse- he wasn't solving anything. He was being studied. Refined. Prepared. With each step forward, something inside him grows quieter... and something else begins to take its place. Something that is not the Emperor. Something that is not human. Something that lies.

In a world where goodness is defined by order and cruelty is justified as necessity, children are chosen as vessels-bodies meant to carry power, blame, and responsibility for a system that refuses to name itself guilty.

As he follows orders, he begins to notice what others cannot: the silence where people once lived, the stench of death no one else smells, and the weight of a sword that grows heavier not with blood, but with guilt. While the system praises obedience and calls it protection, Aven is forced to confront what it truly means to be "good" in a world that survives by denying responsibility. His awakening is not heroic-it is isolating, gradual, and irreversible.

Some say love is forbidden, yet people still fall in love. Some say lust should be forbidden, yet lust fuels those who dare to love. Murder, the killing of innocent children, rape, and torture are all forbidden, yet such acts continue to occur. When I was created and the woman I loved was made, we brought forth a life untainted by lust, a life that harmed none and spared no cruelty. Yet that life was Forbidden. She was not born but made, crafted because He desired someone to cherish, even though He knew she would ultimately be mine. So, Were we not destined to be together? He created everything. He created me, and He created her. So why, when we both contributed to existence, is our union labeled Forbidden ? Whenever He creates, every work bears intention. He fashions a flower, for instance, its purpose ever elusive to me. Then He created her, a rose, a red rose and that rose came to symbolize love, the delicate union of opposites: evil and purity. She was life; I was the end. She embodied love; I embodied hate. She was the vital blood coursing through veins, sustaining life, while I was the spilled blood that heralds its demise. We were meant to be together, yet forces beyond us tore us apart. She was sent back to her origin, and I returned to where I belonged. Though everything between us was halted, I vowed before the Universal Creator That this story, which began at the dawn of all creation, Would endure until the end of creation even if the remnants of our bond lie in ruins. Thus, I leave behind our Forbidden Creation. By sacrificing myself.

A haunting, intimate portrait of a lonely, hunchbacked scavenger who escapes unbearable shame by building rag dolls from trash. Convinced life is cyclical and addicted to the ritual of creating, he clings to the momentary clarity that each finished doll brings, even as his mind slides deeper into self-destructive patterns and obsession with suffering.

That fragile revelation collapses when he returns to the world of contempt, and in a final, tragic outburst he confronts the embodiment of the life he never had. Tender and terrible at once, the story explores shame, memory, the hunger for connection, and how humiliation can turn a wounded human into something monstrous.
