Shards of Power

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, where the fabric of reality weaves through dimensions, multiverses, and omniverses, a being of immense power and intellect observed the cycles of life and **** across countless worlds. This being, known as Abbadon, was an Entity—a species of aliens that traversed the stars, distributing shards of their own essence to host species in a bid to evolve and transcend the limitations of their existence.

For eons, Entities like Abbadon followed a predictable pattern: they would arrive on a planet, bestow superpowers upon its inhabitants, and observe as these hosts wielded their newfound abilities in creative and often destructive ways. The data gathered from these experiments allowed the Entities to refine their powers, create new ones, and inch closer to their ultimate goal—defeating the heat **** of the universe. At the end of each cycle, they would annihilate their host species, reclaim their shards, and consume the local star to fuel their journey to the next world.

However, Abbadon, having devoured multiple worlds and assimilated their knowledge, began to see the flaws in this approach. Each cycle ended with a reset—a technological and cultural slate wiped clean. This prevented the accumulation of knowledge, stunting the potential for exponential growth. New hosts rediscovered what their predecessors had already learned, and the ratchet effect—the steady build-up of progress—was lost to the ashes of genocide.

Determined to optimize this process, Abbadon devised a new strategy. He chose to test it on a small, unassuming planet called Earth.

Departing from the traditional cycle, Abbadon transformed each selected host into a miniature entity—a newborn of his own species. To each of these newborn entities, he granted an initial budget of 300 credits. These credits could be spent within a meticulously curated catalog of his own design, where Abbadon had sorted his shards—fragments of his vast power—based on their potency and utility, assigning each a specific monetary value in credits.

After the newborns purchased their initial shards, each of which granted them unique superpowers, Abbadon opened rifts throughout the Omniverse. One by one, the newborn entities were sent through these portals, each to a separate realm, isolated from their peers.

In their new homes, the newborn entities were tasked with a grand mission: to explore, to learn, and to conquer. Every technology they uncovered, every ability they mastered, every unique material they found was a treasure trove of data. Through a subtle backdoor embedded in their minds, this knowledge flowed back to Abbadon, fueling his own growth and allowing him to craft new shards of power.

To spur them onward, Abbadon established a system of rewards. Each discovery, each innovation earned the entities points—credits that could be spent to acquire more of his shards, enhancing their abilities and increasing their chances of survival.

Yet the swiftest path to ascendancy lay in conflict. To hunt and defeat a fellow entity, claiming their shards as one’s own, offered not only power but also the chance for synchronization—blending abilities from disparate omniverses into unprecedented combinations. Initially confined to their starting worlds, entities could, by purchasing the right shard or mastering a native travel method, traverse the Omniverse to pursue their brethren.

You are one of Abbadon’s chosen—a newborn entity endowed with 300 credits and a selection of shards. Thrust into an omniverse governed by unfamiliar rules, you stand at the threshold of a new reality. Will you rise to dominate your realm, forging a legacy that reverberates through the cosmos? Or will you falter, your shards seized by another? The choice is yours, but time slips away like a fleeting shadow. For in the boundless expanse of the omniverses, others like you are already carving their paths, and the clash of entities looms inevitable.
