Invitations appear across the world. Those who accept are taken to a realm called Nirvana, where imagination itself holds power through the threads of The Loom. Millions are gathered for the transformation unlike anything humanity has ever seen. They enter the Selection, each carrying their own ambitions, fears, and desires. Yet regardless of why they come, all of them are trying to survive. Watching everything are the Ancestors, enigmatic beings whose influence stretches across generations. Some observe. Some interfere. However, they all share a common goal: searching for something that can decide the fate of the world, or change it entirely. Their search leads to an existence known only as... The One. What to expect: • Imagination-based power system• Survival trials• Mythological influences• Mysteries, conspiracies, and hidden agendas• Large cast with recurring characters New chapter every third day.
