《The Legacy of Gilgamesh》Chapter 1 The Abyss
Advertisement
My name is Enoch; I hail from a remote and forsaken place known as Earth. But now, I am nothing more than a spirit, a wandering soul cast out into the abyss. I remember the moment of my death all too well - the sight of my body falling to the tracks, the callous disregard of the people around me, the cold detachment of the rescue workers as they cleaned up my remains.
I was lost in the void, a bottomless pit of darkness and despair. I knew that this was my punishment for the sins I had committed in life. But even in death, I could not escape my regrets and fears. Time had no meaning in this place, and I was trapped in an endless cycle of loneliness and terror.
But as the eons passed, I began to realize that there was something within me, a spark of energy that could be harnessed. I focused all of my being on this energy, visualizing a light that could break through the darkness. And as I did, a white orb appeared in my palms, growing larger and brighter with each passing moment.
With the power of this light, I set out on a journey through the abyss, searching for a way out of this eternal prison. I drifted for what felt like an eternity, but there was nothing to be found, only darkness and despair. But I refused to give up, refusing to accept that this was all there was.
And then, with a sudden burst of inspiration, I shouted the words "let there be light," and the abyss was flooded with a brilliant white light. I reached out my hand and touched the light, feeling the warmth and energy coursing through my being. And for the first time in what felt like an eternity, I felt alive.
With my newfound power, I knew that I could create life and light in this dark and lifeless place. And with a renewed sense of purpose, I set out to explore the abyss, determined to find a way out and break free from my eternal prison.

As I journeyed through the abyss, I began to discover strange and mysterious things. I found creatures that seemed to be made of the same energy as my light, and I realized that I could create them too. I started to experiment with different forms, creating different kinds of creatures to populate the abyss. Some were small and timid, while others were fierce and powerful. I even created some that could fly, and others that could swim through the darkness.
But as I explored further, I began to sense something different. It was a feeling of unease, like something was watching me. I started to feel like I was not alone in the abyss. I started to see shadows moving in the darkness, watching me from the corners of my eyes. I tried to ignore it, but it was always there, always lurking in the shadows.
As I ventured deeper into the abyss, I started to hear strange noises. Whispers and echoes that seemed to come from nowhere. It was as if the darkness itself was talking to me. I tried to block it out, but the voices became louder and clearer. They were telling me things, things that I couldn't understand. They seemed to be warning me of something, something terrible that was coming.
I was terrified, but I refused to give up. I knew that I had to find a way out of the abyss, no matter what. I pushed forward, determined to uncover the secrets of this strange and mysterious place. And as I did, I began to see a faint light in the distance, a light that seemed to be calling to me.
With renewed hope, I set off towards the light. As I drew closer, I realized that it was a portal, a gateway to another world. I knew that this was my chance to escape the abyss and discover the truth of my existence. With a final burst of energy, I stepped through the portal and into the unknown.
And as I emerged from the abyss, I knew that my journey was only just beginning. There was so much more to explore, so much more to discover. But for now, I was free, free to live and create in a world of light and life, free to be the master of my own destiny.

But as I opened my eyes, it was nothing but darkness. The portal was but an illusion, a figment of my imagination after millions of years of imprisonment, a cruel trick played by my mind. I wondered if there was truly no escape, and if the abyss was all that would ever be.
I felt myself falling deeper into the abyss of despair. For a while, I remained emotionless, drifting aimlessly in the same location until I had my first glimmer of hope in an eternity: what if I could create my own abyss? In the darkness, I began to feel the ethereal light flowing through every inch of my being.
With a newfound conviction, I reached out my palm and concentrated on visualizing a pure light. As I did, a white element appeared in the center of both of my palms, and my soul essence began to move and turn white. This spark of energy grew larger, until it was the size of a baseball, as I continued to unleash the origin of creation. If I could make light, then I could create life.
As I released the small orbs of light, they grew larger and brighter, becoming ten, one hundred, and many more times larger until they reached the size of the moon. Reciting the words "let there be light," once more, I approached it and touched the light. It felt neither hot nor cold, but with a thought, I poured fire energy into it. The light ball shone brilliantly, going from molten red to crimson yellow and ultimately to orange, taking the shape of an orb, the sun.
With the matter of the sun, I began to construct the known universe, creating space and time. I extended the matter that makes up the sun, causing it to explode in a big bang, and then began to generate more by drawing on my origin, the white energy that is inside my illusory self. The universe resembled the moon in the night sky when viewed from the abyss.
As the universe expanded and evolved, I felt a sense of profound loneliness, even as the stars and galaxies formed. Despite the beauty of the cosmos, I was alone in my creation, a prisoner of my own mind. I closed my eyes and allowed my being to explode into billions of butterflies, each holding the capacity for life. Amongst these butterflies, one was much larger than the rest. They flew all over the universe, spreading my hope for a world full of sentient beings. I named them the seed of life, a symbol of my longing for companionship in my endless solitude.
But as I watched them fly away, I couldn't help but wonder if they would ever find their way out of the abyss, or if they too, would be trapped in this endless darkness forever. I continued to wander in the abyss, my only solace the light I had created, and the hope that one day, my creations would find a way to break free from the darkness that held me captive.
And so, I remained in the abyss, a prisoner of my own mind, but also the creator of light and life in the darkness. My existence became a tragic yet beautiful paradox, a reminder of the power of the human mind to create and destroy, to hope and despair.
As I continued my eternal wandering, I couldn't help but wonder if the abyss was truly all that would ever be, or if there was still a glimmer of hope for something more. I clung to that hope, for it was all that kept me going in the endless darkness.
