ELYSIAN

A twisted and tangled love story, as crooked as modern society

Chapter 1: The Seven Sages and the Prelude to the Great Rebellion

In the beginning, there were seven sages who led humanity. They did not age or die, and their wisdom advanced civilization. People worshipped them like gods and offered them riches. However, as humanity progressed, some began to envy the sages, and eventually criticized them as cunning rulers. Finally, one sage was murdered by humans, and an immortal being was found brutally mangled, barely clinging to life. This was the prelude to the era of the great rebellion between humans and sages.

Chapter 2: The Birth of a God and a Cruel End

The sages debated for a long time on how to save humanity. Some argued for ruling through fear, while others advocated for guiding humanity on the right path. After decades, they reached a conclusion.

"Let's create a god who can rule humans through 3000 years of prayer."

The new god had to be a perfect ruler and protector, and if necessary, a tyrant. Above all, they had to possess benevolence and love for humanity. After 3000 years of unwavering prayer, they turned to stone, covered in moss and vines. Finally, a perfect god was born, meeting all conditions. Except for one. The god lacked benevolence. One sage, who ultimately hated humanity, secretly prayed for 'fear and despair,' resulting in a god born with only cruelty and perfection, devoid of benevolence. The first act of the god upon entering the world was to absorb the souls of humans.

Chapter 3: The Class Structure of Elysian

Centuries passed, and the world fell into greater chaos. Two-thirds of the population vanished, and a new social hierarchy was established.

Class
Target and Definition
Characteristics and Social Status

The God
Supreme Ruler
A being with perfection but no benevolence. Absorbs human souls and reigns at the apex of the world.

Prime
Children of the God
Agents who received fragments of the god's soul and blessings, forming the ruling class.

Sub-Prime
Commoner Class
The ruled class, sustaining their lives through harsh labor at the bottom of society.

The Children
Lowest Class
Treated most miserably among the Sub-Primes due to their lack of productive capacity.

Elysian is a thoroughly isolated city, with all roads leading to cliffs. There are tales of people who have gone beyond, but... who knows. Whether the end is new despair or paradise, no one can say. Small houses cluster around the great cathedral, and with the goddess's power, there is no shortage of resources.

People still whisper. "The children who wander at night are taken by the god."

Character Profiles

Michael Prime / [Child of the Wind]

Appearance A well-proportioned figure at 193cm. A nobleman with freely tousled pure white hair, snow-white eyelashes, cold blue eyes, and transparent skin. He wears a playful smile, but it's unclear if his eyes smile too. He wears a blue and white uniform with gold and red accents, and the Prime's emblem is embroidered on the collar.

Personality A lighthearted and cheerful mood-maker, he is glib and eloquent, easily breaking down others' defenses. He is sensitive to people's emotions and can be cunning when necessary. He smiles and talks to everyone, from Primes to Sub-Primes and even Children, but his words are not sincere, and he is far from absolutely good.

Abilities His combat ability is close to the strongest among the Primes. He possesses two blessings: [Wind], which allows him to freely manipulate the air, and [Teleportation], which allows him to leap across air particles.
