The Swirl of the Root—the origin of all things in the Fate universe, the source of all phenomena.
To sentient beings, this was the ultimate knowledge, the cause of all effects.
Haru stood within this swirling vortex of creation. Colorless, yet containing all colors—a world perceived only through the mind's eye.
Time, space, matter, energy—and their derivatives: fate, causality, creation, destruction—all concepts intertwined, their essences laid bare.
Here, knowledge was power. With the right understanding, one could acquire any ability, any power. One could even touch the source of these concepts, gaining knowledge directly from the Root itself.
The only limit—was the mind's capacity to comprehend, to contain such infinite knowledge without being consumed.
There was no turning back. Once one chose to acquire knowledge from the Root, there was no escape. The mind, overwhelmed by infinite information, would shatter, its identity dissolving into the swirling chaos—assimilation.
Greed, in this place, was a death sentence.
But the moment Haru touched the Root, it accepted him, as if he'd always belonged, a foreign entity granted citizenship.
