One day, God, planning to create a new world, decided to surpass all the worlds of his brother gods in its perfection. The punishment for this was so cruel that even the judges were horrified when they carried out the sentence. Since then, all God's worlds have been washed by the bitter water of the cursed River Styx, corroding the fabric of the universe. Any creature that has incurred the wrath of the creator has the right to take refuge in the river of tears, find a new home and a new God-stepfather. But one should not think that faithful children will get away with such betrayal. There will be no place or rest for an apostate in any of the worlds. The crippled monster who is chained to a cast-iron slab in the depths of an ancient cave knows this for certain. The street musician, thrown to the monster to be devoured, has no idea about this. But it depends on these two whether forgiveness will be sent to Styx - or a war like no other world has ever known. Illustrations by Marat Dzhamaletdinov.
