I woke up feeling like I was falling—plummeting through the endless sky. I closed my eyes as I thought I will crash but when I opened my eyes, I wasn't crashing to the ground. No, I was levitating, suspended in midair, gently drifting down as if gravity had forgotten me.
I closed my eyes tightly, then opened them again, peering down into the abyss below. The darkness stretched endlessly, swallowing all light. I steadied myself, planting my feet as best I could on invisible air, struggling to find balance.
"Who's there?" I called out, my voice trembling as it echoed through the void.
Silence swallowed my words—pure, suffocating darkness all around me. Then, suddenly, the sky burst into radiant light. Stars gleamed like diamonds, hanging beautifully in the heavens.
And then—an eye. A colossal, divine eye appeared, shimmering in the sky, watching me with infinite power and ancient wisdom.
My mouth fell open. I froze, dumbstruck, my expression blank and stunned.
Then, a voice echoed inside my mind—a voice both terrifying and serene.
"You are dead."
Those two words slammed into me like a thunderclap. Dead? How could this be happening?
