"When someone tells you they'll grant you a wish, what would you choose?"
That was the question the man before me asked in my dream.
But there was a catch.
Everything comes with a price.
I answered casually, without much thought.
"Make me a god," I said, thinking that once I became one, no price would be too high to pay.
But it was the worst choice I could have made.
I asked why.
His reply was simple:
"See for yourself."
✦ Current Status
Name: Velkaris
Title: The Faceless Sovereign
Honorifics:
The Deceiver Beyond the Veil
The Whisperer in Reflection
The Weaver of False Paths
His Ever-Shifting Eminence
Domain:
Falsity, deception, illusion, disguise, mirage, misinformation, and forgotten truths.
The Faceless Sovereign presides over all that is unreal—masks worn too long, truths twisted beyond recognition, lies believed into existence, and histories erased or rewritten. His influence spreads subtly, infiltrating cults, governments, and even pantheons—often without their knowledge.
Symbol:
A mask with no features—perfectly smooth and white—etched faintly with an ouroboros consuming its own shadow.
Alternate symbol: An eye made of shattered mirror fragments.
✦ Pathway: Fake Pathway (Unofficial Name)
Also known as the Pathway of the Mask or the Deceiver's Sequence, it is a disputed or suppressed Beyonder pathway—believed by many to have been erased from history or unnaturally merged with others. Few acknowledge its existence openly.
Known Sequences:
Sequence 9 – Whisperer: Twists conversations, implants false memories.
Sequence 8 – Mimic: Perfectly imitates others—voice, mannerisms, aura.
Sequence 7 – Phantom Thespian: Creates complete, believable false identities.
Sequence 6 – Mirage Maker: Projects illusions that simulate reality.
Sequence 5 – Mask Lord: Wields multiple personas; immune to divination.
Sequence 4 – Scriptor of False Histories: Alters records, memories, even the Akashic record.
Sequence 3 – King of Disguise: Can impersonate even gods and deceive fate itself.
Sequence 2 – Shatterer of Truth: Dismantles absolute truths, destabilizes logic.
Sequence 1 – The Reflectionless: Lacks any true form; exists only as shifting images and rumors.
Sequence 0 – The Faceless Sovereign
✦ Doctrine
"All truth is a lie not yet exposed."
"To be believed is to exist."
"The mask is the only true face."
✦ Mythic Origin
Some heretical scriptures claim that the Faceless Sovereign was once a high-ranking angel—or even a god from another pathway—who fragmented his identity so thoroughly that he became an entirely new being, one sustained solely by the belief in lies.
Others say he is the first lie ever told, the whisper that shattered the unity of the cosmos.
✦ A Bitter Truth
Yes, you've seen it right.
I'm now part of the Lord of the Mysteries world.
Worse—I'm an evil god.
I thought I could stay under the radar.
Avoid the main character.
Lie low.
But I was wrong.
Because of the screen before me:
