Synopsis
At the end of it all, Dssal was the one who built Pantheon.
"My felicitations to the Nameless God."
Hence, the apparent praise waiting for him—if he ever lived long enough to hear it.
December 24th, 2026 marked the start of everything: the day he stepped into Pantheon. Not as some chosen god, though—that chance was barely there.
Pantheon was a cosmic horror game, one in which Dssal entered as a throwaway nobody, burdened with the miserable title of "Feeble Wanderer."
If Alice hadn't lived through this exact timeline ninety-nine times before, there would be no story to tell today. After all, even across every loop so far, she'd failed—and this run was her last.
To the world continuum, a regressor was nothing special.
As per the game's lore, a divine war among the Eight High Gods broke containment, and their chaos inevitably spilled from Cosmos into the real world. Earth could only survive if this impossible game was cleared—a matter of life and death.
That is a version of the game even without the war which was never cleared on earth.
Dssals predicament was almost impossible.
Possibility only remained because to balance cause and effect it offered Dssal something different.
The Eight High wields the power of manifestation, hence a new law emerged—one bound by a broken loophole: The User's Manual.
Fallacy
When inside Pantheon, by the Eight High's will, if developers and players alike believes Dssal (the creator) possessed something, the system would code it real—according to the manual.
Falsehood could literally become a weapon.
Dssal grinned when he heard it.
This wasn't a power fantasy. This was the story of how the weakest Arcane Bearer alive lies, cheats, and claws his way through survival long enough to turn the end of the world into leverage.
This is the story of How To Use A World's Apocalypse.
