Prologue: Breaking The Void

In the beginning, there was something, in the end, there was still something. It had always existed and will exist long after the last black hole dies out and the universe returns to silence. An eternal constant whether you exist in it or out of it your still apart of it. It's hard to change that but, it is possible. It has given birth to countless worlds and endless dimensions each connected each unique in its own way. As well as godly beings capable of destroying worlds with a thought.

Far off in an obscure pocket in the universe, a place not even the most advanced civilization could gain entry even if they had billions of years. A battle between dozens of mystical figures was ensuing. The battle raged on for hundreds of millions of years which was only a blink in front of beings such as these.

Their forms were more abstract than anything else always shifting and phasing in and out of existents. Every collision would create the birth of a galaxy teeming with life that died out faster than you could blink but, existed for eons to them. Sparks capable of engulfing the sun in a true blazing inferno that contained traces of the law of fire flew out and were one of the most insignificant of events that happened as these Goliaths clashed.

Every now and again one of these beings would perish, truly dying and being erased from the universe. At a battle on the scale of this besides victory, there would be no other outcome. For what could have possibly motivated such beings to start this battle to the death amongst themselves it is obviously not something for lowly mortals to question. How could we compare to them those who have reached the pinnacle of existence? How could our words carry any weight let alone reach their ears?

As their battle raged on stray blasts constantly shook the very fabric of space and time eventually reaching a place were even beings such as those would tread with the utmost caution and respect to the thing that resides there. As it has existed since the beginning of the universe born right alongside it at the same time.

Respect is all you can show just as if you were face to face with death. For even death would have to show its respects in front of such a thing because while death may reap the souls of even deity's when they perish and was the first born it was still born inside of the universe, how could he possibly go against it.

From that dark space were light had never touched in all of its existence there was silence, perfect silence just like how it likes. The souls that slumber there couldn't even twitch as they awaited to rejoin the realm. Here is where a soul is truly supposed to go when they perish, other places such as heaven and hell were formed from the collective consciousness of intelligent life forms.

Through that, they have become a representation of what they love and fear through that they obtained the power of laws and birthed creatures in their domain. Some have grown so large that the souls of even the most lackadaisical of believers would be drawn into its domain.

But, compared to those places this one is far purer, other places while powerful can not be compared. It matters not if a soul reaches this place or not but, it is only here where a soul can truly be scrubbed clean of its past or other influences before it is reborn. You may be able to obtain the same result from other sources but, you will be tainted in some way.

Cleansing a soul is a long drawn out process, no steps could be skipped. Weaker willed souls could fade out being wiped from existents. Strong ones could take a millennium to be cleansed or more. In this domain, the first ripple to ever be produced in its existence jolted the primordial being that resides there awake.

From that one ripple came hundreds then thousands. Space appeared to be like a lake that suddenly got stuck with a massive earthquake. It was those other great beings their battle inadvertently disrupted this ancient existence's domain producing cracks in it that spread in every direction. Their power even combined could never compare to this thing that resides in absolute silence but, dozens of them combined could damage the space he resides.

With a shrill shriek that can leave entire galaxies void of life the keeper of this domain witness the formed cracks suck away millions of soul at once. In an effort to stop what was happening. It used its power to repair the space around it as fast as it could which was hundreds of times faster than a nanosecond but, thousands of souls still escaped his domain and that event stirred up all the souls that remained here into waking up. Using its will it drove all the souls back to sleep and its domain regained its silence.

Yet, this being could not go back to sleep it was howling in anger. Being suddenly woken up that was bad enough but, the worst part was having thousands of souls escape his clutches because of that part it can never sleep until all the souls are brought back. Which was something it couldn't do, while it has the power to easily force them back it knows the laws of the universe better than anyone.

There is a process that must be followed, it can beckon there return yet, direct force can't is done. It can only gaze at them through a hairline crack that it left in its domain as it waits. Yet, not before bringing havoc on those foolish godly beings for what they had done. Since beings of such might are no longer protected by the will of the universe they can only protect themselves, it was able to descend its conscience upon them.
