UNKNOWN

Before scripture. Before doctrine. Before anyone knew what a god even was. There was a whisper.

Heaven has discovered that Hell is taking an interest in a small, evolving species on a backwater planet in the spiral arm of the galaxy. The dominant life form is clever, emotional and dangerously imaginative. And is starting to ask the wrong questions.

Hell sends Malek, an experienced manipulator, to guide them toward hierarchy, control, and legacy.

Heaven responds by dispatching Cael.

Cael is... new.

With little training, too much enthusiasm, and absolutely no sense of strategy, Cael is dropped into the desert in the time of Abraham, where he promptly derails everything by speaking at the wrong moment, in the wrong tone, to the wrong prophet.

And so begins the first faith.

One voice starts it. Another stops it. Neither can control what happens next.

When It Begins is a sharp, quietly irreverent tale of celestial bureaucracy, spiritual ambition, and the dangerous power of belief. A standalone prequel to The Final Game, this is where the long story of angels, demons, and humans first takes root. Long before anyone knew what it would become.
