NOVEL NEXT 
In a world ravaged by endless war and the absence of divine guidance, hope has all but faded. Once a land of beauty and life, it now stands as a desolate wasteland, ruled by death and despair. Amidst this godless ruin, a single fragile flower blooms, symbolizing the last vestiges of hope for those who remain.
At the heart of the story is a nameless five-year-old boy, orphaned by war and searching for his brother. His journey through the wreckage is filled with desperation and anguish, his young mind clinging to the belief that his brother will save him. But the world is cruel, and fate is unforgiving. When the boy finds his brother's severed head amidst the rubble, his hope shatters. Grief-stricken and vulnerable, he becomes an easy target for a nearby enemy patrol. In his final moments, the boy’s life is snuffed out by an archer's arrow, leaving behind only the tragedy of a child lost to a brutal, unfeeling world.
But this death does not go unnoticed. Above, in the realm of the gods, a celestial being watches in sorrow, moved by the boy’s innocence and the unbearable suffering below. For the first time in millennia, the god breaks the sacred law of silence, uttering a prayer—a forbidden act among the divine. From this prayer, a single golden tear falls, carrying with it the essence of divine hope, sorrow, and a desire for salvation.
In a godless world, where even the heavens have turned away, can a single tear ignite a spark of redemption? As the tear descends to the mortal realm, the balance between divine pride and mortal despair begins to shift. This tear may be the catalyst for the birth of a new god or a final act of defiance in a universe that has abandoned its own creation.
In A Godless World, themes of innocence, grief, divine intervention, and the cyclical nature of hope and despair intertwine in a powerful narrative. The story explores the consequences of a world without gods and the desperate cry for salvation—both from mortals and the divine alike—against the overwhelming tide of cruelty and loss.
