What if the world you knew was a lie?
What if you were the only unbeliever in a world ruled by gods? What if you discovered the truth about the origin of the world, lost to history? What if you alone could reveal a horrible secret about how they gain their power? What if that power was something man could grab for himself?
And what if your hatred for the gods fueled a desire to end their millennia long reign?
What if, in doing so, you might destroy the world?
Would you?
How far would they go to protect what they built?
How far would you go to bring it all crashing down?
