As the mortal realm was still reeling from the Great Pastry Uprising of 1925, a group of rebels known as the Donut Heroes sought to reclaim their rightful place in the breakfast food pyramid.
Legend has it that the first donut was created by a time-traveling pastry chef from the year 3000, who sought to adapt the humble ring-shaped pastry to the tastes of the mortal masses.
Thus, with the introduction of the donut, the mortal realm was forever changed. The once-mighty bagel was cast aside, and the donut rose to dominance, its sweet, fluffy center a symbol of the fleeting nature of life itself.
