Chapter 1 - Rebirth In The Void

It's dark.

My surroundings are pitch black, I can't even locate my own body.

A voice echoes in the distance, piercing through the void where my soul remains adrift.

An urgent calling.

I take my first step into the abyss, and the ground beneath me shatters.

Light seeps through the cracks.

I can't make sense of it, but step after step, the void fractures beneath the pressure of my feet. Before I realize it, the ground vanishes entirely, replaced by a blinding white surface.

The light reflects off me, revealing my entire body. My eyes dart around, examining my medium-sized frame with a hint of curiosity.

My skin complexion appears to be beige, though the thing between my legs seems slightly darker than the rest of my body. I reach up and run my fingers through the strands on my head, they're fairly long. I grasp the longest one I can find and pull it toward my eyes. Its color matches the void: deep, jet black.

Letting go of my hair strand, I turn around.

Spotting a door slowly materializing in the distance.

Cautiously, I approach.

It appears to be made out of wood, with a knob attached to the left side. I reach for it and pull, I keep pulling for ten long minutes, using every ounce of strength I currently possess.

Then, the knob breaks off.

I pick it up with my right hand.

As I examine it, I notice smudges. Fingerprints, of many different sizes.

This doorknob has been used before.

Others have been here.

Still holding the knob, I feel the ground tremble. The white surface beneath my feet begins to crack, and from those fractures, four abnormally large jet-black arms erupt.

They grab at me, clutching different parts of my body and drag me down into the depths below.

The deeper I fall, the more my body tears apart.

Until there is nothing left.

Nothing but the void once again.
