Prologue

Reality is not absolute .

Most people spend their lives unaware of the world outside the tiny bubble that they have made for themselves .

Beyond the insignificant world of social interactions , further beyond the world run by ecosystems acting in tandem harmony finally even beyond the moderately sized planet in some remote corner of the universe lies a vast expanse perhaps endless.

This infinite expanse with an infinitude of worlds where every possible event can occur an infinite number of times , the knowledge of which restricted by the passage of information is in itself not the end .

It is but a mere bubble formed by the collapse of a primeval form inflating without bound .

This form is naught but a membrane floating in a bulk . In this bulk there are many membranes each with their own universes deep within .

When they collide time might begin for a new world for others the end of days might be nigh.

These membranes that dance to an unseen tune twist and coil endlessly forming landscapes each with a different universe with a different set of laws . To each world the other seems mythical , born out of a fantasy . Often times , in this chaotic rhythm landscapes stretch and flail splitting off into thin threads where the characters are the same but their fates are no longer identical .

As for where these membranes came from . The answer is unclear they might as well be present in a grain of sand present in an endless desert or exist solely in the dream of some unfathomable existence .

The truth is unknown .

However there are always those who are brave enough to try to figure out the truth before the endless darkness consumes them .

From the records handed down by these brave men , from various pieces of legends and myths painstakingly assembled by those who followed in their footsteps a wisp of light could be finally be seen .

The hazy rumor based on this knowledge that is circulated among myriad worlds is spoken of in this manner ;

If one relentlessly traces their way through the boundless chaos far beyond than anyone has ever gone before , amidst true emptiness there lies a Gate that has existed since when there was nothing else and shall continue to exist when everything else shall cease to and a new reality shall be born upon the ashes of the previous one .

The roar of innumerable Dragons radiate from this Gate into the void thus it is known as the Dragon's Gate .

One who manages to pass through to the other side of the Dragon's Gate shall attain the unattainable .

One who crosses through to the other side of the Dragon's Gate reaches the end of their journey.

All others are doomed to fall midway and fade away in the darkness.
