Chapter 2 > The Will to Create
Within the 15th Realm—
the first and highest realm—
a being was form and born.
---
The First Being.
---
It possessed limitless power.
There was nothing it could not see—
past, future,
and even possibilities that would never come to exist.
---
It was omniscient origin.
it was omnipresent origin.
It was omnipotent origin.
---
And yet—
there was one thing it could not know.
---
Why it existed.
---
Though it perceived everything—
it could not understand itself.
---
And within that endless awareness—
it felt something it could not erase.
---
Loneliness.
---
For an eternity beyond measure—
it remained alone.
---
No voice to answer.
No presence to acknowledge.
No existence… but its own.
---
It already knew what would happen if it created life.
---
They would be imperfect.
They would fall in to darkness.
They would fall into chaos.
They would become… flawed.
---
It hesitated.
---
Because it knew—
creation would never be perfect.
---
But then—
a thought emerged.
---
"If even I, who knows all things, cannot find meaning…"
---
"…then meaning should not be given."
---
"…It should be created."
---
"I exist without reason…"
---
"Then why should creation need one?"
---
And so—
it made a decision.
---
"I will create."
---
"I will give you freedom."
---
"And perhaps… one day…"
---
"You will surpass me…"
---
"…and discover the truth I cannot."
