Story
People tell the story of a great magician named "Confidence" who was blinded by his own power. He was so deeply blinded that he was destined to be ruined and haunted forever. At least, that's what everyone thought.
In order to protect the world and his loved ones, Confidence's closest relative, Optimism, banished him to an alternate reality and isolated him in complete darkness. Confidence lost hope in that plane and simmered in hatred. But at the same time, he discovered something. Something useful.
You can manifest your own arcane energy through the emotional essence of others, including your own.
After escaping his isolated dimension, he gained power from those who opposed him and led countless worlds and realms to ruin. Eventually, even their own world. Those who survive to speak no longer call him by his original name. Some call it "Despair Bringer", others call it Despair.
"I feared this day would come true, but I refused to see it happen. I loved him enough to believe that such a fate could never happen. But those who seek more power are always blinded by power. It is my responsibility to correct what happened, and I take full responsibility. I am so sorry that I was not able to watch over you sooner, brother..."
- Optimism
