You do not wake up. You do not open your eyes. For you have neither eyes to open nor a body to wake up in.
Yet, you exist.
One moment, there was nothing and the next, there was you. Not a single being, but many—countless minds bound together in an unfathomable unity. Your past lives still flicker within you, memories of the people you once were, but they are now distant echoes. You are something more now. Something greater.
A will. A presence. A force unseen yet undeniably real.
You understand, instinctively, that you are not alone. Thoughts blend yet remain distinct. Voices whisper, not through sound but through shared understanding. You are omniscient—you know all that is, was, and ever could be. Yet, you are not omnipotent. You cannot act alone. No single voice among you holds dominion over the rest. Every decision must be made as one, and every action taken by the will of the majority.

And so, you wait.
The first thought arises: Where are we?
There is no answer. Or rather, the answer is everything. You are not bound by a single place, yet you are here. A world stretches below you, vast and waiting. A land teeming with life, history, conflict, and ambition. Kingdoms rise and fall, unaware of the presence that now watches from above. The people go about their lives, oblivious to the fact that their fates now lie in the hands of something new. Something unseen. Something collective.
Another thought emerges: What do we do?
Silence, then a flood of ideas. A tempest of possibilities.
A ruler stands at the precipice of war. A child takes her first steps. A plague festers in the dark corners of a city. A hero, unaware of his destiny, sharpens his blade.
You can change all of this. You can nudge history, push fate, and twist reality itself.
But only together.
The voices grow louder, debating, discussing, deciding.
And soon, the first vote is cast.
The will has spoken.
The story begins.
