Rise of The Anti God (Web Novel)

On the stage, an ethereal projection was running, which displayed various background scenes. Damien felt as if he was watching a movie and now understood why this interested the people so much.

He also found out that this stage show was something that happened every week.

Some people came upon the stage dressed in costumes, and Damien guessed that they must be the ones who would enact the play, and the narrator would be talking from behind the background projection.

”Ten thousand years ago, the Xeton Empire was not as powerful and glorious as now. But at that time, it was still a very prosperous empire. The Xeton Emperor of that time was a very benevolent and kind person who took care of his subjects like his own children. ”

As the narrator talked behind the curtains, a grandly dressed person on the stage played the emperor ’s role as he acted according to the script.

”But of course, anything good always attracts evil and greed. A newly settled group of people known as the Zirians enjoyed the emperor ’s benevolent treatment, including letting them own vast areas of land and giving them jobs. Although they were less in numbers, some of them were very powerful. They were also offered high positions in the empire as the emperor thought that they were a loyal and decent group of people.

”But no. They weren ’t happy enough with the grace they had been bestowed and wanted more. They eyed the throne of the Xeton Empire and the various resources that lay under our land. For years, they plotted and schemed to take over the empire slowly. They even bribed various high-ranked officers who were unknowingly playing a part in their schemes.

”The Zirians deviously sabotaged various parts of the empire and were slowly gaining control over the major workings of the empire. The kind emperor was oblivious to these things. Before he knew it, he had lost control over the empire and was forcibly dethroned by the Zirians. They killed him in front of the public and had his body hanged on the gates to let the people know that the Zirians will be the ones ruling over the native Xetonians. ”
