The World That Is

What did Aether mean when she called herself the essence of the world?

What was the Root of existence?

And finally, this great tree, and its many branches… what exactly did they represent?

These questions kept swirling around in my mind as I tried to wrap my head around the truth about Neron, and the world that was.

"Your reality is a stream that flows into a much larger sea that is connected to several others. There are immeasurable realities different from yours. Other than this world of yours—even beyond your universe—there exists other dimensions that are parallel to the one you know."

"W-what?!" My mind nearly exploded upon hearing all of this.

According to Aether, we were just one of a nigh-infinite system of existence—a single branch in the tree of reality.

It was fascinating—a new concept I had never even considered in all of my life. This truth contained infinite possibilities.
