Location: Infinite Realm
Status: Free, Choosing

I’ve spent what feels like an eternity in this space of infinite threads. Each path before me is a doorway, each glowing line a different reality waiting to be explored. But now, I feel the pull to choose, to step forward into one of these possibilities. The universe is vast, and though the paths seem endless, there’s a sense that my choice will shape everything to come.
The figure, now fully merged with the web of light, pulses gently as if urging me onward. It’s not commanding, only offering a quiet guidance, like a lighthouse in a storm. The path I feel most drawn to glows with a soft, warm light. It’s different from the others—calmer, more inviting. There’s no fear here, only the thrill of stepping into the unknown.
I move toward it, not with my body, but with my mind, following the pull of the light. As I approach, the thread expands into a tunnel, filled with swirling colors and faint echoes of life beyond. I can sense something on the other side, something different from what I’ve experienced so far. I’m not sure if it’s a world, a time, or an entirely new dimension, but I know this is where I need to go next.
The threads behind me continue to hum, waiting for my return, but I know that once I cross this threshold, the journey will shift again. It’s a step into a new chapter, a new reality. Whatever lies ahead, I’m ready to face it. This is the first step of many, and the universe is vast.
