The Circles of Dio is the second holy text of the religion of Dioism, the state religion of the Holy Empire of Pakistan. It is the second official chronicle of the adventures of Dio Brando, as told by Dio himself. It is not intended to be a historical account, but a public narration of the world, as seen by Dio. It is the only religious text in existence to be written by God himself.
Origins
| “ My children, it is time for me to give you the second holy scripture. The story is from a time long forgotten, from a dimension you can not even begin to imagine. A dimension made of chaos. My homeland. This happened before, during, and after the book of Dio. This didn't take place in a physical world, such as you know it. This is the story of how I became Dio. Read, and study it well. ” | |
