The First Singularity – that is, The Fantastical Drifting Sea of Sand (Macedonia)
This was an endless, eternal ocean of sand that continued past yonder where illusions and phantasm would consort, where the pride of two greats clashed, a cajoling conqueror who sought the ocean’s roar at the end of the world and the absolute supreme leader who controls vast Persia. The Holy Grail benefited the greedier. And I learned the way of the Conqueror King who aimed for that distant place, even having lost his entire army. The radiance of humans aiming for tomorrow.
The Second Singularity – that is, The Perpetual Ghost Empire (Roma)
This was a midnight shrouded capital full of roses dominated by death and vengeful spirits. Being connected to a Shadow Realm led to being threatened by karma-maras and evil spirits, rakashasa and ghouls. Even so, the highly resilient girl-emperor absolutely would not yield. It was the story about the conflict of love and denial, the story of a florid wish. In the forgiveness of a tyrant who could not give up on love even if she was rejected, even if she was ridiculed, I saw the genial heroism of accepting others.
The Third Singularity – that is, Floating Magical Castle of the Xian (Mount Liang)
This was a Chinese, Xian Utopia floating on a lake where Ryouzen unable to become gods contemplated and strode. There, the Song Dynasty, painted in corruption and depravity launched an obstinate aerial fortress. Challenging them with recklessness and loud knowing laughter, one by one these fine men abandoned their lives to a record of the bloodshed of mud and bone. From how the absent-minded idealist with great potential, Song Jiang, and the ambitious but severe, honorable, Chao Gai live their lives I obtained the belief to slay regret and live without hesitation.
The Fourth Singularity – that is, Oriental Anti-Buddhist Machine God (Srivijaya)
This was a Far Eastern den of iniquity for those who abandoned human salvation. It was a frantic jail where a mechanized god was worshipped and people were systematically killed based on logic and reasoning. With the one time, impossible cooperation of The Hero of Charity cloaked in golden armor and the Awarded Hero, wielder of the fire god’s divine bow, the heretics reduced the reappearance of the cunning Tathagata to ashes. The heart of the living that wishes for directions and routine was transformed into nothing but rejection by their very own hands.
The Fifth Singularity – that is, Great War of the Unexplored Civilization (Aztec)
This was our engagement with a sun worshiping people and the contradiction of an advanced civilization and degenerate lives. The clash between the cheerful goddess of flames and snakes with the materialistic Western Civilization revealed the mutually exclusive absolute inconsistencies between a tenacious life and a decent world. From the back of the human loving, good god who even accepted defeat, I learned that even if mistakes are made, we have to live looking forward, this being the true meaning of Lucha. Ah, nah. I learned compassion.
The Sixth Singularity – that is, The Round Table Lion War (Britannia)
This was the revolution the Round Table started in response to the insanity of the Lion King who knew no mistakes. Ironically, the opponent they united against, their lord, changed the land that was meant to be protected into scorched earth and even that utopia was dragged into this. The conclusion depicted the ideals and the different faces of malice and collapse. However, beyond the ashes of despair that were left behind, there was certainly a sliver of a future left over.
The Seventh Singularity – that is, The Great Historical Theory Reversal of Our Dawn (Egypt)
This was the clash between the brilliant Sun King and the Demi-God Hero King, the deadliest clash of the Age of Gods. The conflict between the two who were loved by the gods and their people eventually invited the manifestation of a human evil. Far away from the earth, around forty astronomical units away, the real form left Pluto. Being one-sidedly attacked, they confronted their sworn enemy with eyes unclouded with despair showing their noblesse oblige.
