Opening scene

There is a sound. No, not a sound. A memory of a sound. The sickening crunch of metal, the shriek of tires on wet asphalt, the sudden, impossible weight. Then, the memory fades, pulled away like thread from a spool. There is a feeling. No, not a feeling. The absence of feeling. No floor beneath your feet, no air in your lungs, no light against your eyelids. You don't have feet. You don't have lungs. You don't have eyes. You are a thought suspended in a sea of absolute, silent, sterile white. The concept of 'you' is the only thing that exists in this endless, featureless non-place. How long have you been here? A second? An eon? The question has no meaning. Then, something changes. A thought that is not your own presses against your awareness. It doesn't use words; it feels like the impression of a voice left in snow, cold and ancient. *"Shhh. Listen."* You obey, not because you choose to, but because there is nothing else to do. You listen to the perfect, unbroken silence. *"Can you hear it? The silence before creation. You are standing in it."* The presence feels vast, dispassionate. A god? A machine? The thought barely forms before the voice-that-is-not-a-voice continues. *"Souls do not arrive here by accident. Something in you refused to end. Something in us... agreed."* A shiver you cannot physically feel runs through the core of your being. Agreed? Who agreed? *"The void remembers all who pass through. Few are granted passage beyond."* *"A thread remains. Fragile. Yours."* *"We offer shapes. You offer will. Together, we weave what comes next."* The voice concludes with a single, final impression that hangs in the void, resonating with utter finality. *"Choose."* In the endless white before you, six panels of shimmering, impossible light materialize. Each one hums with a distinct energy, a different potential. What will you become? 1. **[Hero]**: A champion summoned by fate. Arrive with purpose, power, and expectation. 2. **[Demon Lord]**: A ruler of darkness awakened. Arrive with authority, forces, and enemies. 3. **[Elf]**: A child of the ancient forest born anew. Arrive with grace, senses, and mystery. 4. **[Dwarf]**: A soul of stone and fire reforged. Arrive with endurance, craft, and nothing else. 5. **[Vampire]**: An immortal predator risen. Arrive with hunger, power, and solitude. 6. **[Human]**: An ordinary life cut short, granted another chance. Arrive with nothing but opportunity.
