The Unwanted Crown

In a world that pretends divine relics do not exist, ancient artifacts known as Crowns lie buried in forgotten ruins and battlefields. Those who discover them can bind their blood to these relics and awaken powers that defy reality — but every Crown demands something in return. Only a handful of people know the truth. Governments erase evidence. Secret factions hunt wielders. Most of humanity lives unaware that monsters are born not from darkness, but from desire. He was never meant to find one. Born in the slums of a continent torn apart by war, he had nothing — no family, no future, no name worth remembering. Mocked, beaten, ignored. While the powerful shaped history, he survived in its shadows. Until the day he bled onto a relic hidden beneath the ruins. The Crown that answered him was unlike the others. It did not grant fire. It did not grant strength. It listened. The Crown of Desire awakened to the one thing he had buried deeper than hunger or hatred — his need to be recognized. To matter. To stand above the world that crushed him. Now, when he calls upon its power, reality bends ever so slightly in his favor. The air grows heavy. People feel it — the pressure of his will. The more he pushes, the stronger he becomes. But the Crown does not give power freely. The longer he uses it, the more his thoughts shift. Ambition becomes obsession. Recognition becomes domination. And each time he steps closer to becoming someone the world cannot ignore, he drifts further from being human. In a hidden war between Crown bearers, where every ability carries a price, he will climb from the bottom of society to its peak. Even if he has to tear the world down to stand on it.

Mystery of Existence

The concept of Creation encompasses the entirety of existence as well as non-existence, representing an intricate interconnection essential for maintaining balance within the framework of Creation itself. Existence embodies all that we have observed, including galaxies, universes, the theory of the multiverse, and beyond. Consequently, countless undiscovered truths remain as mysteries, even infinite celestial bodies represent only a fraction of the greater whole. It is understood that even the most potent celestial entities, including deities, may lack insight into the ultimate truths underlying Existence. Humanity has developed systems designed for traversing the cosmos in pursuit of knowledge, however, these explorations have often yielded little in terms of concrete understanding. Many have found themselves in a state of confusion, leading to a collective withdrawal from exploration. This trend persisted until the emergence of an individual driven by a profound curiosity regarding the truths of Creation. This individual, Jonathan, committed himself to extensive reading, which chronicled the journeys of those who had traversed the cosmos, thereby offering invaluable insights for humanity to reclaim its most illustrious era. In his quest, Jonathan stands before an ancient and imposing set of Doors adorned with unknown symbols, which resonate with immense power that defies quantification. Jonathan realizes that unlocking these doors entails solving a complex puzzle, prompting him to embark on an expedition to uncover the missing symbols. During his adventures, he encounters Mary Carter, a young woman possessing an obsession with literature containing information about the cosmos. They quickly form a partnership, united by their shared objective. A significant clue within one of Mary's texts directs them to Indonesia, specifically to the Candi Borobudur, where they believe a manuscript exists that contains the knowledge required to transcend dimensional barriers. This manuscript is crucial to solving the puzzle of the Ancient Doors. With this objective in mind, they prepare for their journey to Indonesia. However, one may question whether their expedition will progress smoothly or if they will find themselves entangled in perilous circumstances. Who knows, but we'll see it soon...
