Zero-Sum Game

The Zero-Sum Game. A person's gain is equivalent to another's loss. Human civilization has followed this rule for millennia. The bigger your piece of cake the smaller the piece for someone else. Few people had most of the cake and the others had to deal with the crumbs. The industrial revolution changed that and a person's gain became equivalent to your personal gain. Even if there were still serious differences in the size of the piece of cake, the crumbs got bigger and bigger, as the large pieces of cake kept growing. But now there was another incident that 'rewrote' the rules. The supposed apocalypse. Mythical creatures from various cultures, sagas, and legends flooded the world. Those creatures of yesteryear can only be fought with weapons of yesteryear. Which led to the fact that mankind increasingly falls back on structures, ideologies, and realms of bygone times. The desperate humans turned to different religions. Those again have a power that lets them control the world. But only a handful of people know that the world state is based on a battle between the gods they worship. One of these few people is our protagonist Thomas who wants to kill a specific God.
