I awakened to a truth that had no beginning. The Maw was no longer a place I traversed-it was a function of my existence, an absence that moved because I willed it to. As I drifted through what once passed for boundaries, I learned that the world had already begun to rot long before I ever touched it. Energy meant to flow outward had stagnated, piling upon reality like sediment, warping laws, beings, and even causality itself. What others called imbalance, I recognized as inevitability.
Fragments of forgotten systems, remnants of gods who mistook structure for authority, and observers who had survived by standing still all turned their attention toward me. They believed the Maw was the threat. They were wrong. The Maw was merely the symptom. I was the correction that emerged when the world refused to resolve its own contradictions. With every step, I understood more-not just how the world functioned, but why it no longer deserved to function as it once did.
This volume follows my quiet integration into existence itself: no grand declarations, no borrowed destiny-only the slow, irreversible realization that I was no longer bound by origin, system, or design. The question was never whether the world could survive me. It was whether anything should remain unchanged after understanding the truth I now carried.
