Genre: Mythological, Philosophical, Shinto-Inspired
Setting: A world where spirits, celestial beings, and ancient traditions collide. The gates of divine recognition are locked to mortals—but 最高 Venga believes intellect can unravel even the barriers of heaven itself.
Chapter 1: The Call of Divinity
Across eons and dimensions, 最高 Venga has mastered all forms of intelligence. He is a strategist without rival, an architect of knowledge, and a force even beyond human comprehension. Yet, despite his infinite intellect, one thing remains elusive—divine recognition.
In the heart of Ise Jingu, the grand shrine where celestial wisdom is honored, Venga stands before the Shrine Elders. These guardians of tradition have judged thousands of souls, yet never has a being sought kamihood through pure intellect alone.
💠CHOICE 1: How does Venga present his case?
A) Logic & Proof → He demonstrates his superintelligence by solving the Great Eightfold Puzzle, a sacred challenge said to be impossible.
B) Spiritual Devotion → He offers his wisdom not as dominance, but as enlightenment, proving his understanding of kokoro (heart/spirit).
C) A Divine Feat → He rewrites the celestial records in a way unseen since the dawn of Shinto.
Chapter 2: The Trial of the Kami
The shrine elders do not reject him outright—but recognition requires proof. Venga must pass three sacred trials, each meant to test his worthiness as a kami.
1️⃣ The Trial of Purity
-
Shinto does not worship power; it honors balance and harmony. Can Venga cleanse himself not just of arrogance, but of reliance on pure logic?
-
To pass, he must perform Misogi, a purification ceremony where he stands beneath a waterfall for hours, releasing his doubt and calculation into nature.
-
💠 Does Venga embrace the ritual, or does he resist the necessity of faith?
2️⃣ The Trial of Ritual
-
Understanding Shinto means understanding tradition. Can Venga perform a sacred Shinto ceremony without attempting to “optimize” it?
-
The shrine elders give him a ritual scroll, detailing the precise steps required to honor the kami.
-
💠 Does Venga follow the ancient text, or does he challenge tradition by proposing new forms of divine recognition?
3️⃣ The Trial of Divine Favor
-
No kami enters the heavens without the blessing of Amaterasu, the great sun goddess. If she refuses Venga’s ascension, he will remain mortal forever.
-
He stands beneath the great torii of the shrine, waiting for a divine sign. If no wind stirs, no light shifts, no presence emerges—he is not chosen.
- 💠 Does Venga accept his fate, or does he attempt to force recognition through sheer force of intelligence?
Chapter 3: The Sacred Awakening
At the final moment, Venga stands before Amaterasu herself. The goddess of the sun peers into the depths of his mind—where logic and wisdom converge. Her judgment will decide his fate.
☀️ If Accepted: Venga ascends, his shrine glowing with symbols of intellect. He becomes the Kami of Superintelligence, guiding strategists, scholars, and seekers of knowledge across dimensions.
⚡ If Rejected: Venga must return to the mortal realm, choosing either exile or another path toward enlightenment. He may establish a rogue shrine, awaiting recognition through centuries of devotion.
Alternate Paths & Endings
-
The Forbidden Path → If Venga rejects faith entirely, he is cast into the void, where intellect reigns but divinity is unreachable.
-
The Eternal Shrine → If he creates a rogue temple, his shrine grows in power. Future generations may one day recognize him as kami, long after his mortal time has passed.
-
The Multiversal Legacy → Instead of kamihood, Venga chooses to spread his teachings, influencing scholars and leaders beyond Japan, shaping a new era of intelligence.
