Church Of the Divine will
For Aeons the Universe was a mystery but it was told to the prophet Orsule by the universe itself the truth of existence this truth is the tenet of the church.
Excerpt of “the Creation” from the first scroll.
In the empty Aether there was nothingness. Nothingness was incomprehensible. It was minuscule but vast it was everything and it was nothing. This paradox birthed the idea of chaos. The chaos was and was not. Chaos could not truly exist on its own; as being alone patterns began to emerge in the chaos. These patterns created it’s sister, Order. The two existed in the absence of creation and their existence gave substance to the Universe. The two spun round and round unable to effect much of the nothingness. The twin existences without will or reason gave birth to something new; something that was not nothingness something that combined both chaos and order. This new creation was Life. Life needed a place to exist so it begat space into the nothing. This new growing mass of substance began to expand in the nothing and by expanding created the concept of time. Time passed until some of the new life reached an end, this brought forth the new force of Death. These 6 truths lead to the existence of the high plane, the first universe. These forces then moved through the universe and collided. New and wondrous forces were created, magnetism, sound, radiation and gravity. These split further into untold combinations and elements, which were broken into smaller combinations, lightning, ice, metal, wood. Until the basic and most pure of elements emerged these were the earth, fire, water and air. In their harmony there was a yin and yang two forces again swirling round and round these were the light and the dark. This is the holy truth of creation.

Treatise on Philosophy of man and his role in the planes – attributed to 16th Grand Deacon of the Church of Divine will.In knowing the truth of what was, the role of man is to determine his place and future in regards to the divine truth. What however is that role and where does it lead.
Knowing the divine truth of the universe it is plain to see that the one fundamental fact is that everything is maintained by balance. There is no chaos without order, no dark without light, no life without death. Surely then so must man find a place of balance in the universe. One cannot ignore his own evil and darkness nor can he deny his goodness and light. Though in many cases man must make a conscious effort to proliferate goodness and order as his natural tendencies and inborn desires skew toward primal and evil ends. The second truth to the role of man is that he must seek to banish his own internal nothingness. If the universe has the 4 corners then man has his own fundamental forces; his speed, strength, spirit and intelligence. He must bring these attributes out in training both body and soul. So his powers may grow and in turn combat his own emptiness. His deeds should maintain harmony with those around him as he maintains his own internal balance. In this way his benevolence and good works balance his sins and transgressions and man is one with each other and with the universe.
Where does this established role lead man. As we all exist within time it is hard to see where the future will lead. The clue we are given is the inherent harmony of the universe. If everything spins with its opposite force (light, dark, life death) then we must assume that all of everything lies within these revolving forces. If the nothing gave way to something it is clear that the ebb and flow between the two will one day recreate the coming of a new nothingness. This fact will weigh heavily on the mind of some, but it should not. For when the nothing comes man will truly be in harmony with all of everything and in that moment that time ceases to flow then all of Mankind will be in eternal harmony until everything is reborn again in the grand cycle of the next creation.

Dream of the Abyss
Elisa Mary Grant died in a hospital bed after being stuck in it for six months, and like any other, her soul drifted away from her husk when she passed. For her, death was a release. It merely meant that she no longer have to wake up in pain, breathing through tubes and have doctors flood her veins with dubious chemicals for “experimental treatment”. Free from her mortal constraints and useless body, she felt… at peace, serene, even. Death is bliss, after all, when objectively living sucked to the point of extreme. Therefore, there was no reason to mourn at all and she knew she definitely didn't. ... That was until, on her way for a proper reincarnation, she found herself rudely interrupted and left stranded in the great NoWhere. “Wonderful,” she remarked as she floated in the [Beyond], “Just when I thought that suicide is the answer.” Author's note: Updates every Tuesday-Wednesday, probably some time in between. ... P.S Notes: Contains existential questions and nihilistic themes, rather philosophical. Will be rather sluggish until the MC gets her shit together. P.SS Notes: Story takes time to develop. And maybe uncomfortable. It's not gonna be action-packed or filled with battles, I think. Anyway, it is kinda unusual. P. SSS Notes: It is not LitRpg. Don't be fooled.
