That is, until one day... that guy, he confessed to me. Wait a minute—doesn't that mean I'm a heroine now? Hang on, how is that even possible? Me? Heroine? No way! I’m just a girl from a small village who likes to help others. I don’t particularly stand out, and compared to the other girls, I’m not even that attractive. And so, a question lingers, driving the unfolding of this dumbfounding narrative forward: Wait, what do you mean I got reincarnated to be a heroine? That's weird because usually a heroine is not strong let alone smart - they are usually dumb, cute and pretty. Definitely not me. I mean, how is that possible? Me? Heroine? No way!

I was born into a family of wealth, privilege, power. A family that claimed to love me. Claimed to protect me. But the moment I spoke of the dreams,those strange, vivid dreams of a world bathed in golden light, where the sky stretched endlessly and the stars whispered things I couldn’t understand,they called me Sick. Delusional. They said it was for my own good when they locked me away. When they silenced me. When they made me forget who I was. But I remember. Even as time slips through my fingers like sand, even as my memories fray and dissolve, I remember that place. A world that doesn’t exist here. A sky that feels too familiar. A warmth I’ve never known in this life. And a presence,soft and distant,always just out of reach. A name I almost recall. A promise I never meant to break. And when everything else fades,my past, my name, even the shape of my own reflection, what stays with me isn’t anger. It’s knowing. A quiet, relentless truth deep in my bones: They were wrong. About me. About what they feared. About what I saw. And I don’t need vengeance. I don’t need their apologies. I need answers. Because in a world where power decides everything, I’ll rise, not to destroy, but to remember. To become who I was always meant to be. To follow the pieces they tried to erase. And maybe, if I keep going, I’ll find that place again. Maybe I’ll find her again. And maybe this time, she will remember me too.

In a world where Science meets the Arcane, a time where the surreal bridges upon the factual, an Era in which the physical and metaphysical unify against one common threat. This threat can be seen anywhere, from outside the cottage of a man who struggles with his own isolation, shouting "I cannot be taken yet, for hope has not deserted me!!!" or in the tranquil embrace of nature, where a young man lives among the roots and vines thinking "The Mother of Roots will surely save me", only to find themselves vanished anyhow. Whether meek or the pinnacle of excellence all seems to fade when the "Outers" walk the soils. Explore the world of Alter-Grey in all its facets and uncover mysteries beyond comprehension, knowledge so pure that you might as well be fiction in its suffocating truths, sometimes curiosity is not sated only to kill the cat, but instead uses it to unravel everything. So I ask you this, are you curious enough to brave the Outer? Are you strange to the ways of man or are you mundane? either way I suppose it doesn't really matter. Join a select few Astrals on this journey and see how far the strings of fate take you.
