《PathOgen [Forge Your Own Path] Reader Interactive》[Ignore the nonsensical offer]

The [YES/NO] offer from the so called "Omniscience" began to flash faster, brightening and dimming every thirty seconds. According to the couple of Soviet psychiatry papers I've read about schizophrenia the wisest decision here would be simply to not acknowledge the delirium.
Instead, I decided to look for inconsistencies and odd details in the dream, as I usually did, to start lucid dreaming. I focused on the space behind the floating text and suddenly noticed that each of the letters was connected to shimmering, silver-blue threads. The multitude of silver-blue threads came together into a thick, pulsating twine connected to "Yuri Gagarin".
Aha!
As I rationally thought about the "voice of god" I came to a realization that the voices that the "Omniscience" spoke with were in fact my own. It spoke to me with a voice of me as a child, me as a teenager and me as an old man. It was wearing clothing woven from my memory of Yuri Gagarin speaking with tones, intonations and ideas that it had copied, stolen from my memories.
This had only confirmed the "its just a hallucination" theory.
The text started to pulse once every ten seconds.
I continued to ignore it.
The text flashed one last time with a brilliant, blinding flare and the letters fell apart into sparks. At the same instance Yuri Gagarin winked away as if he never existed to begin with.
Annoyingly enough the hallucinogenic experience didn't end right then and there.
The Wheel of Samsara remained, spiraling in place, spinning into itself with endless, shimmering fractal-like galactic constellation woven from countless stars and impossible, brilliant colors I could not name.
I suddenly felt its pull as if I was standing on the edge of a cliff with the wind at my back.
It was growing in strength becoming an unnerving, concerning and then a terrifying sensation akin to falling from an infinite height in a dream.
As I glanced back to where the cosmonaut had been I noticed a barely visible, silver-blue thread leading away from the center of the Wheel of Life.
The gravitational pull of the Wheel intensified. I now had but two options, two choices presented to me.
[FOLLOW THE BLUE THREAD]
[DO NOTHING]

Virtuous Sons
The saying goes that when a man is born the Fates weave his destiny and swaddle him in it. Then one day the man dies, and the swaddle becomes a shroud. Heaven moves on. It is audacity to question the Fates. Olympus is Olympus. The land of men is the land of men. To transgress that, to cross the line of divinity and scale Olympus Mons? To defy the Fates and cast off their threads? That is hubris. It’s a mark that every philosopher bears plainly on their soul. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

The Traitor Games
Welcome to the Traitor Games, and congratulations on your invitation to join as one of the races putting on a show for the galaxy. Your species has been judged as too violent for integration into the Galactic Conglomerate and thus the decision has been made to relegate you to a probationary period during which members of your species will be pitted against each other in games of lies and betrayal. Unfortunate, but the great thing about a probationary period is that it can end! How can we do that; you might be asking. Well, that's easy, if those participants can earn enough points through playing the games, they can potentially buy out your probationary time. Of course, other rewards will also be on offer for success in the games, and if none of your species chooses to be selfless, well then it just goes to show that you wouldn't have been a good fit for us anyway. All those on Earth unlucky enough to not be chosen to become part of one of the most popular shows on Galactic Television, fear not. We will be streaming the various games your race is participating in all across the world. Should we run out of participants, even with our most generous three life system, we will draw more from the population. Good Luck! Noah Landry is one of these participants, he just doesn't know it yet. He blacks out while walking to the local bar McCaffery's, and finds himself, somewhere else. He's wearing clothing he doesn't remember putting on and rocking an absolute banger of a headache. Now he needs to figure out where he is, what's going on, and how he can get out of the Traitor Games. [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
