There is something you need to understand. In this universe, there are no worlds, no inhabitants, no rulers nor ruled, no gods nor creation, no rules nor followers. The universe is silent—void, dark, and mysterious. During this time, there was no good or evil. Everything simply existed, pure and untouched, uncorrupted by virtue or vice. The cosmos lay dormant, unshaped by purpose, innocent in its stillness.

From this boundless nothingness, an entity emerged one fateful day at the center of the universe. This entity slept deeply, unaware of itself or its immense power. From the outside, it appeared as a colossal orb of rock, its surface thick, crusted with shadows, and fractured by faint cracks of light pulsating from within. For millennia, the entity slumbered, silent and unmoving, its tremendous power dormant yet building.

Over time, the power became too vast to be contained. Tiny fragments of light and darkness began to seep from its cracks, scattering across the universe unnoticed. This silent seepage went on for eons, altering the void. Where once there was only emptiness, now there were specks of contrasting light and shadow—a fragile new beauty in the endless dark.

The entity's power was the purest, most boundless force to ever exist, and its origin was unknown. Yet this limitless energy could not be suppressed indefinitely. Then, in an instant, the universe shook with a cataclysmic explosion. The entity's crusted exterior crumbled away, revealing its core—a swirling mass of light and shadow, pulsating in perfect harmony but never blending.

At last, the entity awoke. Awareness flooded its being. The entity gazed at the scattered fragments of its energy that illuminated the void. It spoke, its voice resonating across the cosmos.

"This universe... it is so quiet, so empty. I am too late."

The entity understood its purpose: to bring life into existence, to fill the void with creation. But its own form was too overwhelming, its power too vast to craft the delicate intricacies of life. It needed a vessel, something more tangible, to carry out its purpose.

With resolve, the entity unleashed its full potential, channeling its energy into the void. The raw power struck the fabric of space like a divine lightning bolt. The universe, once lifeless and silent, shuddered as it absorbed the entity's essence. Space and time twisted and expanded, the cosmos itself coming alive.

"You are my first creation," the entity proclaimed, its voice warm and reverent. "Beautiful, innocent, and full of potential. I name you Verseya, the Prime Creator of this universe."
