Capítulo 1637: Predicament

The mythology describes the first five guardians of purgatory.

The first guardian of purgatory was a fire crow. Many years later, it was challenged and killed. The challenger became the owner of the purgatory, earning great blessings from the world.

The poems composed in that era describe prosperity under the guardian, when Undead ushered in an unprecedented development.

For a keen observer, the tone of the poems kept changing. They were less optimistic, less carefree as time passed. There was more tension, fear and despair.

And then suddenly, Purgatory's rich land turned into hell. The vast resources in the land could not stop the guardian's desire to watch everything burn.

The new guardian who challenged the old to rewrite the rigid rules of the place and give everyone a beacon of hope behaved just like the old guardian. In some cases, he was worse.
