The Sacrifice

As David entered the Nexus, the world around him dissolved into light and sound. The energy crackled through him, and he felt the pull of countless realities tugging at his very soul.

He reached out, feeling for the rift, for the place where it all began. And then, with a final push, he severed the connection—this time, completely.

The rift collapsed, the multiverse shuddered, and in an instant, David felt himself dissolve, his existence unraveling from every dimension, every reality, every timeline.

For a brief moment, there was nothing but darkness.

And then, silence.
