The end of the world is coming. Oops, we didn't expect that. Let's just say it comes faster than the speed of light. But don't worry, things will get better. Also, I'm not kidding when I say the world is ending. The end of the world for many people is that their lives are unsatisfactory. And now, all matter is disintegrating on an atomic scale for a while. Apparently the universe is not stable? Don't ask me to go into too much detail. This required both of us to have several college degrees, and I was illiterate. In summary, energy/matter/entropy is at a local minimum, not a universal minimum. What we thought was sea level was actually a beautiful little mountain lake, but when the dam burst, everything came crashing down.
Now, things are a little bit different from the norm. You see, magic is real, chi is real, and gods are real. Don't worry, that wasn't the case on the old Earth. Souls didn't care much about time and space. In fact, the closer the reality shift comes to Earth, the closer our dreams come to the new reality. This is basically the fact that I'm carefully avoiding "system apocalypse". Reality became a video game, I became a dungeon, this is my story
