World Domains: Develop Thanks to Wikipedia

In Axis Mundi, a sacred realm of divine beauty and mystique, I found myself amidst a diverse array of inhabitants, from ethereal beings of fantastical allure to nightmarish horrors that could daunt even the bravest heroes. There were also peculiar individuals, seemingly the creations of a mind unhinged, going about their bizarre routines along the streets below my apartment. It was a breathtaking spectacle, but I couldn't linger, as my survival here as an outsider was of utmost importance.

Locking the door to my bedroom, I embarked on a process I'd eagerly anticipated for some time: the creation of my own 'Domain.' A Domain is a universe or world where one holds absolute control over every aspect, encompassing space, mind, reality, power, time, and soul, effectively making the creator a god in that realm.

Creating a Domain is a challenging endeavor, relying on a combination of internal and external factors for success. With all the necessary preparations in place, I focused on clearing my mind and initiating the process. A strange sensation washed over me, signaling the beginning of this transformation.

As the sensation intensified, I struggled to harness it, realizing it was the elusive 'Essence,' the fundamental building block of worlds. While my memory of it was limited, I understood its pivotal role in crafting a Domain and as the wellspring of Axis Mundi's existence.

To complete the process, I had to merge with this Essence. As the merging continued, I sensed profound changes in my body, mind, and very essence, now known as Erwin.

When I finally opened my eyes, it was not the familiar sight of my bedroom that greeted me, but a lush green hill beneath a boundless blue sky adorned with white, fluffy clouds. The only explanation was clear – I had succeeded in creating my own Domain, the fruit of my labor.

Overwhelmed by joy, I ran like an exuberant child, shouting my delight. There was no one around to witness my jubilation, a relief considering how embarrassing it might have been in public.

However, a sudden headache interrupted my celebration, causing me to trip and fall. As I rose, I found myself facing an immense ship that hadn't been there moments before. Perplexed, I tried to comprehend the bewildering turn of events, yet another headache gripped me.

Inexplicably, a group of men dressed in basketball attire knelt before me with unwavering reverence, proclaiming their dedication to a supreme being. I stood there, utterly dumbfounded, with no words to describe the bizarre situation.

This series of events left me befuddled and desperate for answers. I questioned the purpose of these sudden appearances, the ship's origin, and the loyalty of these mysterious men. Their responses provided little clarity, leaving me puzzled and contemplating their origins.

With the intention of giving them a name and a sense of identity, I requested they address me simply as "lord." As I probed further about their memories, their accounts painted an enigmatic picture of golden clouds and radiant visages. Still, it left me more perplexed than enlightened.

Refraining from further questions, I instructed the men to return to their positions, secretly hoping that these bewildering creations in my Domain might hold some answers. In the midst of the confusion, my attention shifted to the enigmatic ship.

The ship's presence raised questions about its purpose in a Domain devoid of water. Lacking any naval weaponry, it appeared not to be a warship. I decided to allow these basketball-clad men, who seemed to share memories from my old world, to explore the vessel and possibly use it as a temporary shelter.

I departed my Domain momentarily to rest, planning to return and examine the situation later. What a day it had been.

As the coach of this peculiar group, I remembered the name "Bob" given to me by the lord. Our assigned task was to investigate the ship and report back to him. We proceeded to inspect the ship's condition thoroughly.

Just as I was concluding my report with an ominous premonition, the ground beneath us began to tremble. Panic swept through us as the ship itself shook violently. I hastily took cover under a desk while the tremors intensified.

Eventually, the earthquake subsided, and I emerged to help my companions evacuate from the unstable vessel. We found ourselves outside, the ship now tilting precariously to one side. I checked to ensure everyone was safe, a responsibility I had as their coach.

One of our group pointed to a distant silhouette, a massive building that had mysteriously appeared. We turned our gaze in that direction, further deepening the enigma of our new reality.
