《The First Corridor of Old Works》Chapter 23: He Couldn't Lie to Himself

“Send Pry.”
“What?”
“Send Pry.”
Pry-Boak - he looked at him: normal human fashion. Two eyes.
“Try truth.”
The beats, in terms of beats... they'd had this conversation/it was a thought he'd had.
“- What will hold that map together otherwise, in no time, in short time, even upping the rations, what's gonna cover it all without... me?” She meant due to her pregnancy and her currently inactive, moribund? No, the talent...: talent; that he couldn't run any of it past her supernatural powers of prophecy and sight... while pregnant... the child was using it... which he had to be honest with himself was more and more these days – creepy - the only way he managed to get the – the talent that was – what was it using if for? -
He couldn't lie to himself. Not at this stage. He had no energy for anything other than truth. Examining the board above Pry-Boak, he saw that nothing else did either. Old Works. It barely did. If he couldn't construct a plot-quest-character-world that worked in combination with a hero who pursued truth through it, by means of the particular attributes that revealed who he truly actually was, if he couldn't do that - then all that would work, all that remained that could, was - the last resort to which there was no alternative -
they had to max that stat: truth; they had to pour as much truth in it the same time not enough to expose the whole thing as a... sham.
Glancing at the board, the whole thing was a sham. All this was hanging on an increasingly small number – he meant 3 times an interconnected civilisation/3 civilisations – of Cyclops making the lies real because, poor bastards, they didn't understand, not really, that just forcing a field of perception onto worlds that denied in the final matter of what they were, that perception was only that, only perception, and not a functional reality at all, no matter how much, and with what strength, and with what irrefutable energy and talent you. saw. it. that. way.... with. - Final reality won. But given who he was... where had that thought even come from - how did he even know... that?

Mundus, a world where every being from every mythology exist. In this world these beings once lived in harmony, under the rule of a being only known as the Supreme Being. However, this peace was broken when the Supreme Being suddenly decided to step down and told the Gods of myth to decide a new ruler among themselves. A war broke out among gods of Greek, Norse, Egyptian, and every other mythology. Eventually, demons, Beasts, and Human Heroes of different mythologies joined the war as well. After countless years of fighting, the four factions decided to sign a ceasefire agreement among themselves and instead implemented a system called the Proxy System, where lower beings fought in their place. 10,000 years after the Proxy System was created a descendant of the oldest recorded god, and the first dragon Tiamat was born. His name was Gamiko Dragna, nicknamed Miko. The birth of this child had unknowingly changed the world forever, and it was now his time to enter this war. What changes will this child, who was seen as a cursed monster, will bring to the battle for the title of Supreme Being?
