Chapter 20 - Chapter 19: Eternal Recurrence

As I grasped the truth - my reality, a loop of existence, no heaven nor hell, only the rebirth of my soul, forever bound to Tsv's guidance - my mind reeled in horror. The weight of comprehension crushed me, my consciousness strengthened by Tsv's authority now faltering under the devastating revelation.

I stumbled backward, away from the presence, my eyes locked on Tsv's impassive face. How could this be? I thought I was unique, a singular soul on a journey to unravel the mysteries of the cosmos. But no, I was trapped in an eternal cycle, doomed to repeat the same journey, forever tied to Tsv's mysterious will.

The Balance's presence vanished, leaving me shattered and lost. Tsv's gaze watched me struggle to come to terms with the unbearable truth. I felt like a puppet, a mere marionette dancing on the strings of fate.

Tsv's touch on my head gathered my shattered consciousness, but offered no comfort. "You reached further than the last human," Tsv said, its voice devoid of empathy. "I have faith that I will succeed next time in uncovering Balance's truth."

'Next time.'

The words echoed in my mind like a death knell. Tsv didn't know it was me, it didn't recognize our countless encounters. I was just another pawn in its game of cosmic exploration.

A chilling realization dawned on me, Tsv's true intention. It sought to devour the consciousness of a human who grasped Balance's secrets, to possess the knowledge for itself. I was merely a vessel, a temporary host for understanding Tsv's greatest desire.

Tsv's authority washed over me, erasing my memories, sending me tumbling into the abyss of rebirth. I screamed silently, my mind shattered by the endless loop of existence.

As the darkness closed in, I realized I would never truly understand. Tsv's whispered promise echoed through eternity: "Rebirth awaits." The cycle repeated, forever trapping me in this labyrinth of cosmic horror.

Balance's scales resets, the game begins anew.

EPILOGUE -

In the realms of eternity, Tsv waits, patient and unchanging. Another soul stumbles into its realm, seeking answers. The dance begins anew.
