Chapter 78- A higher being's love can be a curse (AntiVoid)

There was someone who lived long before reality ever became a thing and they were ever so lonely. They created everything, learned so much and found a little SOUL which they adored.

The seemingly insignificant characters can truly surprise you in the end~

——-

There were many creatures out there, monsters, humans and things far beyond eithers comprehension. It was hardly the mortals' fault that their view of the world was so limited, like ants who could hardly be expected to see the big picture.

There was no need for the small creatures to have their mind broken by realising just how tiny and insignificant they were.

A few had taken a glimpse into the upper realm of the deep, the Void a mere fragment of where the creatures not even in others imagination ended up residing. The Void had taken many casualties, those thinking themselves intelligent enough to escape looking at it unscathed. The even more foolish who tried to enter the space, ripped apart in milliseconds with their SOUL forced to wander and never be whole again.

Some believed that Deities were the true Gods of reality with it easy to see why when the overpowered beings played with Creators and Destroyers alike like they were simple puppets for their entertainment.

Of course this was wrong, laughable really to think that those were what existed since time began. Those were mere children compared to the beings above even that, concepts brought to life and only having a role to keep a balance but there were creatures long before that.

Before anything had even taken a single breath there was one being, a lonely being that tried and failed to find a companion in the blank space they occupied. They had no clue why they were alone, why no one else was there or how their power worked but the first thing they discovered was a concept every being in existence has had at least once.

Loneliness

It nipped at their heels, never giving them a moment to not feel it. No mortal would ever be able to comprehend the extent of such a feeling, likely to drown in the sensation and vaporise on the spot trying to comprehend a higher beings emotions. It was those emotions that slowly shaped the shapeless space, loneliness turned to hope which was the emotion that sparked the first touch of life in the dark space.

Joy

Interest

Curiosity

The last one was when the being started to experiment with their power, adding touches here and there, new concepts brought to life with the cycle of life and death added by sheer accident.

They loved every second of it, drinking it all in with their hunger to see more and experience more changing reality once again. Deities were born to act as loose overseers but they don't really care what the new children did.

They just wanted to see more.

More drama.

More action.

More Everything~

It was like an addiction, like a man discovering cake for the first time and now they couldn't have enough. Peace was fun. War was fun. They didn't care and simply wanted all the life and colours to continue, refusing to fall back into the lonely life of before.

Years, decades, millennia passed in a blink of an eye, watching it all as eagerly as when it first came into being...but then a new feeling they weren't sure what to deal with appeared.
