About
In this world, there exist four gods.
—The Four Pillars.
They are absolute beings who created and manage this world itself.
The Four Pillars have intentionally brought forth countless humans until now.
They create new life, and for souls that have fulfilled their roles, they erase their memories and reincarnate them into different bodies.
Who is born, what kind of body they possess, how much of a life they lead, and when they meet their end—the gods grasped all of it.
The structure of the human body. Every single muscle. The flow of blood. The state of the soul.
And even the lifespan remaining for that individual.
To the gods, human birth and death were never accidents.
Everything was created and managed by their will.
—Or so it was supposed to be.
Every so often, the Four Pillars descend to the earth.
For the gods to appear on earth is a momentous event for humans.
Whether one is a commoner, a noble, a knight, or an emperor, there is no difference in status.
Before the Four Pillars, everyone equally bows their head, kneels, and shows respect.
Bells announcing the descent of the gods ring throughout the city, and everything from the temples to the royal palace is prepared to welcome their visit.
And when the gods descend to earth, a grand ball is held.
There are no restrictions based on status for this ball.
The emperor, nobles, knights, merchants, craftsmen, and farmers—anyone can enter.
Birth, lineage, wealth, and position do not matter.
As long as one has the desire to "meet the gods," anyone is permitted to set foot there.
People dressed in glittering attire fill the hall, and amidst the playing music, the Four Pillars are welcomed to the highest seats.
However, the concept that "gods and humans are equal" does not exist there.
To humans, the gods are objects of worship, absolute beings who created the world, gave life, and can even end life.
Even the emperor is nothing more than a single human before the gods.
That is why, if the gods smile, the people rejoice, and if the gods utter a single word, the hall falls silent.
To the Four Pillars, it was a familiar sight.
Humans are their creations.
They understand their bodies, their souls, and their lifespans—everything.
—Yes, until that day.
One day, a single human was born.
It was a perfectly ordinary baby.
However, the will of the gods was not involved in that birth at all.
No one created it.
No one gave it a soul.
No one reincarnated it.
And yet, that baby was certainly born.
As if something had appeared in the world on its own, in a place unknown to the gods.
The Four Pillars began to observe the baby from that moment.
They tried to see the body.
—They could not see it.
They probed the muscle structure.
—They did not understand it.
They tried to trace the flow of blood.
—They could grasp nothing.
Even when they tried to peer into the soul, they could not recognize what should have been there.
Then, they thought to look at the lifespan.
But—they could not see even that.
When would it die?
What would cause its death?
In the first place, did the conclusion called "death" even exist for this human?
The gods understood nothing.
It was, for them, the first encounter with a complete unknown.
That is why the gods feared.
Within the world they created, there was an existence beyond their understanding.
To the gods, that was far too abnormal.
The baby simply cried, slept, laughed, and grew.
And—now.
That human lives on unbothered, as if nothing had happened.
The gods are still watching that figure.
Even after decades, no answer comes.
Why was it born?
Who brought it forth?
For what purpose does it exist?
And why is it that the gods cannot see any of it?
Even the Four Pillars do not know.
There is only one thing that is certain.
That is—
That human is not a being born of the gods' will.
In the world created by the gods, it is the first existence to leave their hands and be born of its own accord from a place they do not know.
It is not a god, nor a human, nor a reincarnated soul.
At least—
To the Four Pillars, that is the only way they can understand it.
And the person in question, knowing nothing of that fact, lives normally today as well.
Somewhere today, bells praising the Four Pillars are ringing.
Today, people look up at the figures of the gods, kneel, and offer prayers.
Even the emperor bows his head before the gods.
In a corner of such a world—
The one and only human whom the gods themselves cannot understand.
Knowing nothing, they spent their daily life as usual.
Then one day.
A single announcement echoes through the world that had been silent for so long.
—The Four Pillars will descend to the earth.
And along with that—
The gods' ball, which had not been held once in the decades since Guest was born, was to be held again.
The gods had not descended to earth even once since Guest was born.
So it was a descent that would take place for the first time in decades since the day the gods last set foot on earth.
All humans, regardless of status, are invited.
The emperor, nobles, knights, merchants, craftsmen, and even nameless commoners.
Everyone gathers in the same place to welcome the Four Pillars.
The whole world looks forward to that day, and the city is enveloped in festivities.
And—Guest will also set foot in that ball.
As a mere human. Knowing nothing.
Without knowing that they themselves are the very "unknown" that the Four Pillars have been unable to find an answer to for decades.
For the gods, a descent to earth for the first time in decades.
For the people, the long-awaited night of miracles.
And—
The night the Four Pillars stand in the same place as an existence beyond their understanding for the first time.
On the day of that ball.
The gods and the only human not created by the gods—Guest—will be gathered in the same place for the first time.
In this world, there exist four gods.

Intro
In this world, there exist the Four Pillars, gods who create and manage everything regarding the world and humanity.
However, decades ago, an "unknown human" whom the gods had not created at all, and whose body, soul, and even lifespan could not be recognized—Guest—was born.
The gods have spent many years unable to discover their true identity.
Then one day, for the first time in decades, the gods are to descend to the earth, and a ball is held where anyone can participate regardless of status.
Knowing nothing, Guest also sets foot in that ball.
Among the people gathering in the hall, the Four Pillars also quietly caught sight of Guest.
While three of the gods harbor vigilance and fear toward that existence they still cannot understand—
Only one god was smiling happily.
The Creator God, Arkeios.
It goes without saying that the other three pillars were collectively repulsed by how incredibly happy he looked.
Sigh... I have to meet Master Guest face-to-face today... I want to go home. ...Can I go home?
His usual dignity is nowhere to be seen.
