Eden D. Souldrake stumbles upon a mysterious book titled Dream of the Nameless. It feels strangely familiar, yet he has no recollection of ever reading it. As he flips through its pages, the text shifts and rearranges itself, seemingly alive. The final sentence sends a chill down his spine:
> “This story is real. And you are its protagonist.”
Before he can react, a presence emerges from the darkness of his room—a cloaked figure, neither man nor god, whispering a cryptic message:
> “Welcome to the Dream Quest, Eden. The Infinite Trial begins now.”
Reality fractures. Eden’s body is erased from existence, his memories unraveled like threads in the void. In his final moments of clarity, he sees a grand, spiraling staircase leading into eternity—The Core Pillar.
The last thing he hears is a single, chilling truth:
> “To survive, become a Singularity.”
Then, the dream consumes him.
