'Damnit ! The energy is too potent it's reducing me to dust upon physical contact.'
I took a look at where my hand was supposed to be , now, only one remains .
'My hand I can't feel it at all. "Hgkh!" I coughed out in pain
'But the pain from legs is still here.'
'The giant roots kept spreading across the void soon. i will be engulfed by them and disappear completely. Should I just go back? But how? My legs are already broken by the time I get out !....'
'There is one way I have to climb after using 'that' power the same thing accountable for my torment in the dark.'
'The power of the concept I represent and the one that chose me before all of this and go up,'
' climb with the radiant flow of energy to the rift above.'
"Even if it might not work, hugh! I-I will still take the chance and die within the glimmering light I craved so much rather than remain in this dark place !!!"
With a settled resolve ignorant of what happens next, I dived into the stream of energy with all that I had left and used its...My power to increase the non-existent chance of survival.

Within the light, i started to shine, and then i began to fade again and again '-ugh? Where am I? What happened? '
'urkh!'
I began to experience a sense of drowsiness before I blanked out each time my body was being destroyed before it was constructed in the same manner my conscious was blanking in and out.
It felt like I was undergoing a tribulation every moment. Perhaps I am used to this by now?
.....but one thing was certain , "I am ... Ascending."
....
As I was going up for the brief moment, I was awake. That's when I saw it or a vision of it at the very least an absurdly large branch strecth out from within the stem, enclosing all that the eye can see from the branch a collection of huge marbles?
Their texture seemed so brittle you could say they were made of glass , each and every single one was emanating energy, a very unfathomable amount of energy
Soon, I went unconscious again, but the next time I woke up, what awaited wasn't so bright.
I remember it clearly a dark hand made of shadows stretched out towards me from within one of those structures I tried to fight against it with my power but its strength was overwhelming it held my throat and tried to drag me towards itself.
It did , it took me into one of those marbles, but that's when the realisation hit me once I took sight of the glamorous scene and vibrant landscape.
'This is a new world.'
I had escaped from the abyss. I looked up, and for a moment, thought about whats next what I would do in this place and if I ever could find what I lost..
"Stop thinking."
"I have made it out. That's all that matters. I will figure things out with time. "
I absolutely despised the words that came out of my mouth in that moment 'again..time?'
"*sigh* Well, at least this place isn't so bad."
'Though it is weird when relatively compared to my past world its beautiful in its own way '
The terrain before me can be described as such. Islands floating in the sky rivers and lakes flowing to the horizon were separating a large desert on the left. On the right, a lush green forest was full of life, a polar opposite to the barren desert.Both were enclosed by a large mountain range.
'It is beautiful no matter how distorted...... to me , it is .'
