Endless Chaos — Chaos Void Plane: The Path of Time
Chapter 2: The First Flow of Time
Silence returned to the Chaos Void.
But it was no longer the same silence as before.
Something had changed.
The endless chaotic energy that once moved randomly now flowed in a strange pattern — slowly, steadily, like an invisible river moving through existence.
For the first time since the Chaos Void had existed, events now had order.
Before.
Now.
After.
The newborn bearer of Time floated alone in the vast darkness, staring at his glowing hands.
Inside his chest, the Chrono Core pulsed gently.
Tick.
Tick.
Each pulse sent waves of strange energy through the Chaos Void.
The being could feel it.
Something was moving.
Not around him…
But through everything.
He closed his eyes, trying to understand the sensation.
Immediately, countless faint threads appeared in his mind.
Thin lines of silver light stretched across the endless void like a massive web.
Some threads were bright and stable.
Others flickered weakly, as if they might disappear at any moment.
The being instinctively understood what they were.
Timelines.
Every possible movement, every possible future, existed as one of those threads.
Yet most of them were incomplete.
Because the Chaos Void itself had not yet fully awakened.
"So this is… Time," he whispered.
The moment he spoke, one nearby thread suddenly trembled.
Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.
The being's eyes widened.
Without realizing it, he had influenced the flow of that timeline.
He raised his hand carefully.
A single thread floated closer to him.
Inside the thread, he saw a strange vision.
A Concept Seed drifting through the Chaos Void.
But in this timeline, the seed slowly grew stronger, absorbing chaotic energy until it eventually exploded into a newborn Concept World.
Mountains.
Oceans.
Sky.
Life.
It was the birth of a universe.
The being watched in silence.
"So this is the future of that seed…"
Curiosity filled his mind.
Then an unexpected thought appeared.
What if I change it?
He hesitated.
Something deep within the Chrono Core warned him that interfering with time was dangerous.
But the curiosity was stronger.
Slowly, he touched the glowing thread.
The moment his fingers made contact—
The entire timeline shook violently.
The vision inside the thread changed.
Instead of growing into a world, the Concept Seed suddenly absorbed too much chaotic energy.
Its structure collapsed.
And the seed exploded into nothingness.
The future had changed.
The being quickly pulled his hand away.
The thread dimmed… then slowly disappeared.
He stared in shock.
"I… destroyed its future."
The realization sent a chill through his mind.
If he could erase a timeline so easily…
Then the power of Time was far more terrifying than he imagined.
Suddenly—
A powerful tremor spread across the Chaos Void.
Far away in the endless darkness, several enormous Concept Seeds began to awaken.
Their presence was vast and ancient.
Unlike ordinary seeds, these ones contained concepts powerful enough to shape the foundations of existence.
The Time Bearer instinctively focused his senses.
Within the Chrono Core, new threads appeared.
He saw glimpses of what those seeds might become.
One radiated golden light.
Within its timeline, countless beings knelt in worship.
The Path of Belief.
Another seed was surrounded by endless dreamlike illusions.
Entire worlds were born from imagination.
The Path of Dreams.
A third seed glowed with cold blue light.
Reality itself bent and reshaped around it.
The Path of Reality.
More seeds stirred in the distance.
Devouring darkness.
Endless games of fate.
The power of creation.
The Time Bearer watched these visions with growing unease.
The Chaos Void was beginning to awaken.
Soon, the Concept Paths would start competing for dominance.
And he had just learned something terrifying.
He could see their futures.
But that meant something else could also happen.
If he interfered too much…
He might become the enemy of every Concept Path in existence.
The Chrono Core pulsed again.
Tick.
Suddenly, a new vision appeared.
But this one was different.
It was not a future.
It was a possible destiny.
The Time Bearer saw himself standing in the center of the Chaos Void.
Around him stood ten colossal beings — the Chaos Lords, rulers of the strongest Concept Paths.
Reality shattered around them as they fought a war that destroyed entire worlds.
And at the center of that war…
Was him.
The vision vanished instantly.
The Time Bearer opened his eyes slowly.
His expression became serious for the first time since his birth.
"So… this is the future waiting for me."
He looked out into the endless Chaos Void where the Concept Seeds were beginning to awaken one by one.
A universe of unimaginable power was about to be born.
Countless beings would rise.
Countless worlds would fall.
And somewhere in that future…
A war between all Concept Paths would decide the fate of existence.
The Time Bearer clenched his fist.
"If Time shows me the future…"
"Then I will become strong enough to control it."
Far away in the Chaos Void…
A massive ancient presence slowly opened its eyes.
It had existed long before Time was born.
And it had just felt something impossible.
The birth of Time itself.
A deep voice echoed through the darkness.
"So… the Path of Time has finally awakened."
"Interesting."
And somewhere deep within the Chaos Void…
The first shadow of the future war began to move.
