The darkness around Max began to twist. The endless void that had surrounded him for what felt like eternity started to ripple like liquid glass disturbed by an unseen hand. The vibration deepened, resonating through his bones and echoing faintly inside his mind.
A faint light appeared in the far distance—small at first, but gradually expanding, until it illuminated the void in pale shades of blue and white.
Max stood calmly, his gaze fixed ahead as the light grew brighter, engulfing the darkness completely. The sensation was strange. It wasn't like being teleported, nor was it like shifting through spatial layers.
It was as if reality itself was folding and reforming around him. His surroundings blurred, his vision wavered for a moment, and then everything fell silent.
When his senses cleared, Max found himself standing in a completely different world.
The void was gone.
