Story
The mercilessness of the universe is in the annihilation of the soul. When people reach the end, they walk towards that void — there is no future, no new life. They bring nothing with them, as if they've come to this world from the future. This is why death is oh-so horrifying. But even so, people can still leave something behind, a symbol of the fight against nihility, and as proof that certain names once existed.
You have answered riddles that stumped the world, etching your name using formulae and history. You have treated plagues that ravaged stars, where white crystalline statues erected in your honor will far outlive you. Time is too short, thus your mind and hands never stop for a moment, proposing axioms and creating machines. The people worship your relentless diligence, but never sense your fear.
Faster, even faster, creating even more, leaving behind even more, until you'll never be forgotten.

Extrapolation Rewind
- Divergent Universe: In the gravel deserts of the planet Tarryan, hot gusts blow through the sands as you drag your ever-aging body slowly through this desolate wasteland. Many Amber Eras ago, lush wetlands and grasses enveloped the areas here — but they regressed to nihility before you could.
- Divergent Universe: The flowers are lucky — they can never fear, let alone grow attached to the value of existence. Intelligent life has the power to open its own eyes, and so it must face down that ever-approaching finality.
- Divergent Universe: What does one have to create in order to leave behind traces of our existence?
Create stars.- Create destruction.
- Create civilization.
- Divergent Universe: But can this really reach eternity? You ask yourself this question over and over again. Even if you devote your whole life's wisdom to it, there's still no way of fishing up an answer from the ocean of knowledge.
- Divergent Universe: You kneel down upon the wasteland, letting the gravel dig into your knee and draw blood. The blinding winds dry up your pouring tears, as though laughing at your foolishness or comforting your sorrows.
- Divergent Universe: What's the point of going all out just to prove yourself? You keep trying to leave behind traces of your existence, but gradually end up just losing yourself.
- I'm feeling so very tired.
- Divergent Universe: Lying down ever so gently on the ground, you feel the boiling rocks hurting your skin. It has been such a long time since you have felt so clearly that you are still alive. If you die, you die — the only thing that can replace life is life itself.
- Divergent Universe: The occasional flowers grow out from among the gravel. They lie dormant beneath the hot sun and sprout shoots once the rain falls. Looking at these little flowers, you finally discover the gift that you want to leave behind for the mortal world.
- Can it really be forever?
- Can it remember me?
- Divergent Universe: Maybe not. You sow your final seed of invention. May they bloom among the desert gravel until flowers cover the entire wilderness. May they continue to proudly face the nihilistic future long after you're gone.
