JOURNAL ENTRY - Date Unknown
They ask me why I created this dimension. Why I proposed this experiment to the three great forces.
The answer is simple. And terrible.
I wanted to know if humanity could be trusted with power.
Not the humans of Earth—that experiment ran its course long ago, with predictable results.
But humans created in a controlled environment. Given magic. Given immortality. Given the tools of gods.
Would they use it to build? Or to destroy?
Would they choose cooperation or conquest?
Would they become better than their Earth counterparts?
Or would they prove that humanity, regardless of circumstance, always falls to the same patterns?
THE PARAMETERS
███████████ demanded a horror be introduced—something for her subjects to scream about, to run from, to fear.
███████ demanded systems of control—rules, laws, structure that could be tested and potentially broken.
████████ demanded a monster of neutrality—someone who could love both order and chaos, yet choose to defy both.
But here's what they didn't understand.
The test was never about the humans I would create.
It was about the first human.
███████████—my creation, my son in all but name, my greatest work.
I gave him everything. Power beyond measure. The ability to create life itself. A dimension to shape however he wished.
And then I watched.
Would he use it wisely? Would he build something beautiful?
Or would he fall to pride? To addiction? To the intoxication of being worshipped?
THE GRIMOIRE
I left it unlocked. Unguarded. In plain sight.
Every addict will tell you they can stop anytime they want.
Every prideful king will tell you they know their limits.
I wanted to see if he would prove them wrong.
He didn't.
He took the grimoire.
He let the Eldritch magic corrupt him.
He created daemons through his arrogance.
And yet...
And yet.
One of his Guardians chose to save him.
█████████ was created to be perfectly loyal, perfectly obedient, perfectly bound to his will.
But when it mattered most, she exercised free will.
She chose love over programming.
Sacrifice over self-preservation.
And in doing so, she broke the very nature of what I thought I understood about creation.
