Plot
Act 1: Awakening
Ekto becomes self-aware as a formless entity.
Realizing its power, Ekto accidentally "launches" the universe.
While experimenting, Ekto creates time but quickly realizes it is difficult to control.
Key Moment: Ekto decides to divide itself into countless fragments, each living its own life in different forms (ranging from elementary particles to intelligent civilizations).
Act 2: The Experience of Life
Ekto simultaneously lives the lives of countless beings.
Some of its "fragments" begin questioning the meaning of existence, leading to the emergence of philosophical and religious movements, reflecting Ekto's internal search.
At one point, Ekto realizes that its creations are beginning to develop independently-matter and time start to "resist" its influence.
Key Moment: Ekto understands that it is itself a part of the time it created. This revelation triggers a crisis.
Act 3: Conflict and Growth
Ekto tries to regain control over time but discovers that its creations have acquired free will. Some of them begin to disrupt the order.
Ekto realizes that the answer to how it learned to control matter and time lies within one of its fragments. It begins searching for this fragment, traveling through the worlds it created.
Climax: Ekto finds the fragment embodied as a sentient being that has realized its connection to the "Higher Consciousness." This being helps Ekto understand that mastering time and matter became possible only by surrendering to chaos.
Act 4: New Understanding
Ekto realizes that perfection is impossible without freedom and chaos.
Instead of striving for absolute control, it chooses to become an observer, allowing its creations to evolve on their own.
Finale: Ekto reaches a new stage of evolution-it no longer governs the universe but becomes part of it. Its purpose shifts: from control to synchronization with the infinite flow of life.
