The Creator's Almanac Volume One: The Thoughts of Manna

In the early 21st century, five abysses emerged across the Earth, connecting the surface with a Hell-like underworld.

Over the seven hundred years that followed, powerful beings called 'demons' colonized the planet. Now, most humans live out their days in subjugation.

Everything is awful. Everyone has given up.
Except for one nuisance.

Art is an overconfident seventeen-year-old human who believes he can defeat the unkillable Human King of Manna. Scrawny, weak, and half frozen to death, Art is fuelled by sickening feelings of hope and friendship.

Even if they won't admit it to themselves, everyone secretly knows that Art stands no chance. He will join the pile of bodies that previously fought back.

Will this be the story of a kid learning to give up? Or will he keep smiling while marching to his death?

I can only hope it’s the latter. It’ll all be over faster that way.

Please don't look into it any further,
