Carrying the Torch: A Flickering Spark

A gravity singularity experiment went out of control, and my consciousness was hurled to the end of all things: the “Primordial Sea.”

There is no matter here, only the inexhaustible “obsessions” of all living beings. The way to stay alive is to devour them.

With every obsession I consume, I grow stronger and better able to resist oblivion.

But my mind also fills with a madman’s wild fantasies, an emperor’s ambition, or the insatiable greed of an alien race.

I use their fixations as fuel to keep myself going.

But when 99% of the memories in “my” mind belong to someone else…

Does Chen Yuan still count as alive?
