The world was gone.
There was only an endless, silent, and absolute blackness. Rhys's consciousness floated in this void, a single point of awareness without a body or senses.
He could feel an ancient, emotionless presence all around him. It was Chaos, the ultimate judge.
He had called upon it willingly. It was a mad gamble, a final, desperate move. Now, he had to face the consequences.
The voice of Chaos was not a sound, but a concept that bloomed directly in his mind.
"One reality has been erased. Another has been proven. But the challenge is not complete. Your choice created a Fracture Point of immense power.
It has spawned other possibilities, other realities born from the choices you could have made. You are the anchor.
All other versions of you are a deviation. To become the one true reality, you must prove that your path is the most dominant. You must confront your other selves."
