A Man Like None Other

As Jared and Flaxseed were engulfed by the radiant light, they were instantly overwhelmed by a powerful, irresistible force. It seized them both and dragged them deeper without pause.

Jared felt his limbs stiffen, his body rendered immobile under the crushing pressure. The force devoured everything, his strength, his consciousness, his sense of direction. His instincts screamed to resist. But it was futile.

He had imagined the journey to the celestial realm would be divine, perhaps even serene. Never had expected it to be so agonizing, like his very soul was being torn apart and reformed.

As Jared felt a vortex stir deep within him, the world around seemed to vanish. Light and sound alike were stripped away; everything dissolved into nothingness. It was as if were suspended in a vast, empty void. No warmth, no motion, no life.

The silence was absolute. Flaxseed’s presence had vanished entirely.

Jared couldn’t see a thing. His spiritual sense detected nothing. Even his Nethersky Eye was useless in this strange space.

He closed his eyes slightly, trying to steady himself. It felt like floating in a void without direction or anchor-adrift in a place beyond time and space.

He had no idea how long remained like that. Then suddenly, something shifted.

A pressure began to press in from every direction. His body seemed to slide into another current, like slipping through an invisible passageway.

Faint streaks of light appeared, breaking the darkness at last.
