''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.Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.


    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 .''
