The abyss of the Ocean
Probability isn’t binary. It’s not a simple yes or no, not a switch flipped on or off. If you can imagine a possibility, however faint, it holds a spark of potential to become real. Consider our Earth: a speck of dust in the cosmic expanse, born from a chance so slim it feels miraculous. Yet, the universe’s vastness—its countless stars, galaxies, and eons—creates a playground where even the tiniest probabilities find room to breathe. The scale of existence turns long shots into realities.
Humanity itself proves this. Our existence is a chain of low-probability events, each link forged by fortune. From the first spark of life in primordial oceans to the unlikely survival of early hominids, every step was a gamble. Picture rolling a six-sided die and landing a one not once, not twice, but fifty times in succession in a perfect, unblemished world. The odds defy comprehension, yet here we stand, living proof that the improbable can prevail. Even the most outlandish outcome—say, that same die landing on one a hundred times—has a probability, a mathematical whisper that refuses to be zero.
The tale we’re about to unravel unfolds in a world not unlike ours, a place where the dice of chance rolled just right. It's humans, like us, who are products of a cosmic lottery, their existence defying the odds. But this world holds secrets. Forces—perhaps supernatural, perhaps stranger—seem to nudge the scales of chance. These unseen hands weave through the fabric of probability, tilting outcomes in ways that defy logic. This is a story of a reality shaped by luck, persistence, and perhaps something more—a narrative where the improbable isn’t just possible but inevitable.
