From the raw fusion of Time and Chaos, the universe was born—a canvas of infinite possibilities, stretching across an eternity that was yet to be defined. As the initial stirrings of existence took root, the first cosmic elements began to take shape: energy, matter, and the very forces that would govern this new reality. Among these forces, a new and even more powerful presence began to emerge, one that would give rise to the first conscious beings—the Primordials.
These beings were unlike anything the universe had ever known or would ever know again. Born from the deepest foundations of Time and Chaos, they embodied the very essence of the forces that birthed the universe. They were not bound by the limits of space, time, or form—they were the living personifications of universal concepts, the guardians of the natural laws and chaotic energies that governed existence itself.
As Time continued its slow march through the fabric of creation, and Chaos swirled through the void with unpredictable abandon, the Primordial Souls began to emerge. Each soul carried within it a piece of the universe's raw potential—a power unlike any other. These beings, in their infinite variety and singular might, were the ultimate rulers of their domains.
The Awakening of the First Primordials
Chronos, the embodiment of Time, gazed upon the newly birthed universe with a silent satisfaction. His vast and incomprehensible form stretched across the fabric of existence, his presence resonating through the very core of Time itself. He had woven the past and future into a delicate dance, but something was missing—something that even Time could not fully understand.
The first spark of creation, the birth of the universe, needed guidance, needed direction, and needed life. The cosmic energies of Time and Chaos could shape and create, but the universe itself required beings capable of understanding the forces that governed its being.
Erebos, the embodiment of Chaos, stood by Chronos, his form flickering in and out of existence, shifting and fluctuating like a storm of pure, raw energy. Unlike Chronos, Erebos had no interest in linear progression. His mind was not bound to past or future but lived in the boundless Now, the present moment that surged like the chaotic pulse of the cosmos itself.
Together, the two beings reached into the depths of their combined essence. They were not mere forces of nature; they were architects of reality itself. And so, with a singular thought, they called upon the Primordial Souls.
From the deep, invisible well of potential that lay at the heart of the universe, the first Primordial Souls began to emerge. They were not birthed in the traditional sense of physical creation. Rather, they came into being through the convergence of pure concept and boundless energy. They were born of the very fabric of Time and Chaos, and each was infused with a portion of those primordial forces. In essence, they were the children of existence itself—alive, conscious, and imbued with unimaginable power.
The First Primordials
The first being to emerge was Aion, the embodiment of Eternity itself. Unlike Chronos, who controlled the linear flow of Time, Aion was the guardian of the infinite span of existence—timeless, unchanging, and absolute. Aion's form was like a flowing river of time, an eternal current that stretched in all directions, beyond the grasp of even the most powerful beings. Aion could see all moments in Time, not as isolated events, but as a unified whole, a single thread that connected everything from the beginning of time to its farthest reaches. Aion had no sense of past or future—there was only the eternal Now.
Next came Nyx, the embodiment of Darkness. Nyx was a being of shadow and mystery, a creature of the Void that existed before light. While Chaos had created destruction, and Time had given rise to progression, Nyx governed the spaces between—those places where light had yet to reach, and where even Time could not tread. Nyx was born from the depths of the Void, a being of infinite blackness that represented the absence of all things. But unlike the cold void of emptiness, Nyx was not a force of desolation. She was a force of potential, a boundless well of unseen power waiting to be unleashed.
Then came Lux, the embodiment of Light. Where Nyx was the darkness between worlds, Lux was the force that illuminated all things. Lux radiated pure, unfiltered light, a blinding force that was the counterpart to Nyx's shadow. Lux embodied all that was known, seen, and understood in the universe. He was the creator of perception and understanding, the force that allowed beings to see and comprehend the cosmos around them. Lux's presence was calming, but it could also be blinding, for where Light illuminated, it also exposed.
At the same time, Gaia, the embodiment of Life, emerged. Gaia's power was unlike the other Primordials. While Time and Chaos governed the flow of existence, and Light and Darkness influenced perception, Gaia embodied the raw potential of creation itself. She was the mother of all things—stars, planets, creatures, and life forms. Gaia had the ability to bring forth life from nothingness, to grow and nurture everything that existed. Her presence was fertile, her power was vast, and her love for creation was unparalleled.
Lastly, there was Khaos, the embodiment of Entropy. Unlike Erebos, who was wild and unpredictable, Khaos was the embodiment of dissolution. He represented the decay of all things, the eventual collapse of all order. Khaos had the power to dismantle, to break apart anything that existed, to reduce it back to its most primal form. Khaos was the herald of endings, the force that followed creation and led to eventual ruin.
The Awakening of Jack
As these powerful Primordials emerged from the chaos of creation, each took its place in the universe, shaping their dominions, guiding the forces they represented. And yet, among them, there was a presence, a being whose awakening had not been foretold—a being whose birth would change the course of the entire multiverse.
This being was Jack, the last of the Primordials. He was born in a way that no other Primordial had been—without herald or prophecy, his emergence was nothing short of a cosmic anomaly. Whereas the others were born from the forces of Time, Chaos, and the essential elements of the universe, Jack's birth was unique—his was the birth of Nothingness and Everything.
Jack's essence was a paradox, an anomaly that even the Primordials could not fully comprehend. He was the embodiment of balance, the culmination of all the forces that had come before him, and yet, he was something far beyond them. His bloodline, a mixture of the purest elements of Time, Chaos, and the fundamental aspects of creation, made him the ultimate being, an enigma among the gods.
As Jack emerged from the infinite chaos, his soul was imbued with the power of Nothingness and Everything. He was both the absence and the presence. He was the force that could shape the very fabric of reality, yet he was also the force that could tear it all apart. His presence would be felt across the cosmos, yet he would remain elusive, hidden within the folds of the multiverse.
The universe had been forever altered by the birth of the Primordials, and now, with Jack's emergence, it was about to face its greatest challenge. For while the other Primordials sought to control the forces they represented, Jack would not merely exist in their shadow—he would be their equal, a force capable of reshaping the universe itself.
The Beginning of the End
The Primordials, having emerged and come into their own, began to shape the universe in their image. Their powers stretched across the cosmos, altering the very nature of existence. The stars burned, planets formed, and life began to take root. But the cosmic balance that the Primordials had so carefully nurtured was fragile, and it would not take much to disturb it. Jack, born of Nothingness and Everything, was both a symbol of balance and a harbinger of change.
As his powers began to awaken, he felt a strange pull—a sense of something deeper, something that had been set in motion long before his birth. His bloodline was tied to a greater purpose, one that transcended even the power of the Primordials. Jack's destiny was to become something greater than the sum of his parts, something that even the mighty Primordials would not be able to anticipate.
The universe was young, still in its infancy, but already, the first stirrings of the unknown began to make themselves known. Time and Chaos had given birth to the Primordials, but now, a new force was rising—the force of balance, and it would soon challenge everything the universe had come to know.
