A very long time ago.
In the flow of time, immeasurable by human history, the consciousness of twelve beings was suddenly formed.
The process of conceiving life was entirely skipped, and the world they existed in made it impossible for them to eat or drink like living creatures.
Yet, the twelve beings had no problems.
They did not feel hungry without eating, thirsty without drinking, and their minds remained clear without sleeping.
No.
In the first place, they did not even know the basic concepts of hunger, thirst, or fatigue.
The twelve beings lived a tedious life as time flowed endlessly, until one day they happened to discover a Dimensional Rift.
“Look over there.”
“What on earth are those things?”
They communicated naturally.
Through the Dimensional Rift, they could see countless life forms living their lives.
The twelve beings gathered together, staring down into the rift, unaware of the passing time.
At first, it was truly amusing.
The lives of creatures engaged in the basic necessities of life, and the way of survival of the fittest, where they killed each other to live.
It was stimulating.
Like a child who had only eaten bland food suddenly tasting intensely flavorful instant food, the twelve beings were completely captivated by the new world.
