The Novel Dimensions

In the beginning, God, the Supreme Creator, brought forth countless worlds, each teeming with life, energy, and the endless possibilities of fate. To oversee these worlds, He created the gods—beings of immense power tasked with maintaining balance and order within their assigned realms. Under these gods, the Asuras were formed, loyal enforcers who upheld the laws of existence within the dimensions.

Yet, peace is but a fleeting dream.

From the shadows of the void, the banished angel Gabriel rose once more, forsaking his past identity to become Omnipholus—the Demonic God of All Realms. With a single purpose driving him, he sought to do what none had dared: eradicate God completely. And so, he whispered his corruption into the heart of a once-great deity—Aruka, a god who soon fell from grace.

With his newfound darkness, Aruka reshaped his realm into something never before seen: The Novel Dimensions. Each dimension became a mere fragment of a grand narrative, their fates dictated by stories written for the gods’ entertainment. The people within these worlds lived their lives, unaware that their struggles, their victories, and even their suffering were but pages in a book dictated by forces beyond their comprehension.

The Six Stages of the Novel Dimensions

Aruka, now fully embracing his corruption, divided the worlds under his control into six escalating trials:
1. Story Stage – The foundation of the world, where everything follows a prewritten narrative.
2. Apocalypse Stage – A test of survival, where civilizations must overcome an apocalypse-level threat. They are granted three attempts—a tutorial, of sorts.
3. King Stage – A war against a threat far surpassing the apocalypse, a sovereign of destruction known as a King.
4. Unknown Stage – Beyond comprehension, an enemy so powerful it is known only as the Unknown. Here, only one attempt is given.
5. Immortal Stage – A realm beyond even the Unknown. Here, the threats are truly eternal—only a transcendent being can defeat them. No dimension has ever passed this stage.
6. Transcendent Stage – A stage so unfathomable that none have reached it, and its true nature remains a mystery.

To ensure these trials were not completely unwinnable, Aruka dictated that each stage must have a happy ending with at least a 60% success rate—except for the Apocalypse Stage, which required a minimum of 50%.

The Seven Pillars of the Novel Dimensions

To maintain the cycle of stories, Aruka established seven fundamental forces governing the dimensions:
1. Asuras – The enforcers who ensure the rules of the novel dimensions are followed.
2. Legends – Historical figures of great renown who work to prevent excessive deaths, protect the Main Character and Lead Roles, and ensure a good ending.
3. Story Writer – The unseen force shaping the plot, writing the journey of the Main Character, the Lead Roles, and the progression of each stage.
4. The Stages – The ever-looming trials that must be overcome for the world to progress.
5. Main Character – The destined savior, the one meant to lead the world to victory. The world can still be saved without them, but their death brings irreversible consequences.
6. Lead Roles – The chosen ones who aid the Main Character, guiding and supporting them.
7. Rules – The unbreakable laws of the dimensions:
• Asuras and Legends cannot interfere directly, only through revelations passed to priests and priestesses.
• Mortals, including the Main Character and Lead Roles, must never learn the truth about the Novel Dimensions.
• If the Apocalypse Stage proves too difficult, the Legends may seek outside help by inviting a Guest from another dimension.

The Guest: A Force of Change

A Guest is an individual summoned from a different dimension to aid in the Apocalypse Stage. However, their arrival is bound by strict conditions:
