First Pov
I began to wake up when my time magic started to falter and I could already tell why, the laws of the universe were getting weaker and thinner. I had already wondered how reality was able to exist in Nothingness, theoretically it should also turn to Nothingness on contact and I'm not even going to start questioning how reality was created.
As the border moved closer to me, I started to understand why I had always fallen unconscious when nearing it. A weak soul like mine simply wasn´t meant to leave the universe, of course it wasn´t actually me who left but the universe so I simply fell unconscious until I was in the Nothingness, but now that I had grown in dimension I should be able to pass consciously.
As I finally passed the border I immediately started to notice two things, first, if you were to numerise the laws of reality as 1 million, then you would see that the closer you went to the edge, the weaker they got and after crossing the border they would suddenly plumb from 10.000 to 100, second, it was chaos. Laws here might have been weak but they were numerous, I could now feel laws here that were not from the reality I just left, they were a gathering of laws from all realities trying to resist the Nothingness. I had no clue where this was but I was certain that this was neither reality nor the Nothingness.
What ever it was, it was also moving, even if a lot slower but that gave me enough time to observe and try to understand this place. I had spotted many being here, but it seemed that they couldn´t see me however I had grown certain of one thing, this place was were beings that were too powerful for their reality ended up. I had seen several being I could identify as either Primordial gods, outer gods or other being.
As I continued moving, I finally encountered a being that could sense me and I knew that being, in fact everyone has at least heard of it´s name, the Blind Idiot God, Azathoth.
It´s form was constantly changing to forms that even I had trouble comprehending and while wasn´t getting insane, I did feel a little dizzy, scratch that, I felt terribly dizzy. I could feel it look at me, I could also feel that it was confused and intrigued and then I started making sounds. I presume that this was its language, similar how I had my own, made up entirely of meaning. It was thanks to my ability to understand meaning that I could understand it. He was confused of what I was and how I felt like the Nothingness outside. I wanted answers as well, so I send him the meaning that I would answer one question of his and after that he would have to do the same. He didn´t seem that pleased with that and swung one of his… tentacles, hand, limbs at me. For a moment I really thought that this was my end, only for him to pass right through me, and again and again. After trying for a while, he finally gave up and agreed, we spend a lot of time talking, I told him my story and he answered my questions.
Apparently, this place was what the Outerverse, a place created by the radiating laws of all realities, and he was the main power source that held them all together. Normally this Outerverse would also have been erased but his infinite energy was regenerating it just as fast as it was being erased. If he were to stop, not only would the Outerverse and all reality inside it be erased but he too would disappear, so he didn´t have a choice and had to be a battery for his own wellbeing. Understanding the structure was not easy but simplifying it as a donut would be enough for now. Sprinkles were the realities, the donut the Outerverse and the hole and anything outside the Nothingness. Like I said, very simplified.
Azathoth was rather intrigued by my story, or better said my being. Not that I could blame him, I became what he had to sacrifice himself to in order to survive. I could tell that he was hoping that I could somehow grow strong enough to free him from his self-imposed prison. I had no idea if I could do it or if I even wanted to free him, after all he had a purpose now but once he didn´t who knows what he would do.
Anyway, the Outerverse continued moving, and it wasn´t long until I arrived at the border of the Outerverse and holy, Azathoth wasn´t joking when he said he was using infinite energy to resist the erasure of the Nothingness, I could feel it now.
When I crossed the wall I instantly felt the difference. Not only did the laws drop from 100 to 0 but I also felt strangely at home. I didn´t even realize that I missed this place so much, it was so quiet, peaceful and welcoming to me. I decided that I wasn´t going to go on another adventure for a while and simply enjoy the feeling of being back home.

A/N- Was my explanation of the Outerverse understandable? Also, the Outerverse is were he will meet many powerful beings like Chaos, OAA, The Presence and many more.
