In a remote corner of the Multiverse, Gaia is a flat and infinite world that serves as a connection point between all the universes that have existed, exist, and will exist. When a universe dies, its inhabitants—beings of countless forms and races—are transported to Gaia, where they must start anew. Each arrival causes Gaia to expand, creating new territories to explore and colonize. The new inhabitants enjoy 10 years of protection to settle and reorganize before chaos erupts again. Gaia operates under a system similar to a video game, where each being possesses a personal interface displaying their level, skills, and achievements. This system allows inhabitants to improve, but also punishes their actions, creating fierce competition for resources and power. Additionally, those who manage to reach an advanced level in Gaia have the opportunity to move to a newly born universe. Gaia is not just a refuge, but a launching platform for the strongest, who can claim a place in the soon-to-be-born universe, while also fighting for survival in this chaotic and flat world.

In 1989, a man named Ben Harold embarked on a project he believed would change the course of humanity. His goal? To build a functioning time machine. Through a strange mix of charisma, luck, and relentless determination, Ben managed to attract a small team of equally unconventional minds who shared his vision—or, at the very least, his curiosity. Ben wasn’t a household name, nor a lauded scientist. He had once been a promising physics professor, but his obsession with time travel had seen him ridiculed and eventually exiled from academia. His theories were branded fantastical, impossible, even delusional. Yet to those who dared ask why he persisted, his response was always the same: "Because I have to." For years, Ben toiled away, filling notebooks with sketches of improbable machines and equations that defied conventional understanding. His garage, cluttered with wires, metal scraps, and half-built contraptions, became the center of his universe—and, perhaps, the edge of reason. But then, sometime in 1991, Ben Harold, his team, and every trace of their work vanished without a sound. The garage sat empty. The notebooks, gone. Friends, family, and authorities were left with only questions. No sign of struggle. No answers. Only silence. But everything would be cleared up in 2017 when Ben was discovered in an abandoned house next to a pile of dead bodies, but even stranger, he hadn't aged a bit since 1989.
