「The Goddess of Spacetime」

Time has stopped.

Sound has vanished, and the wind has ceased.

At the moment the world before your eyes froze like a massive shard of glass—

A small crack appeared in space.

White light leaked through the black fissure, and several black spheres and white orbits began to rotate slowly around it.

And from that place, a woman stepped out.

Her long hair, reaching below her waist, was divided into pure white and deep purple, yet the two colors were not entirely separate. The intermingled strands swayed subtly along with the light.

Pure white skin.

An expressionless face, impossible to read.

And two eyes that were completely different from each other.

In her left eye, layers of black circular stripes were engraved over a white iris,

While in her right eye, a white four-pointed star was embedded in the center of a crimson iris.

She slowly surveyed her surroundings.

Her gaze seemed to be searching for something, yet at the same time, appeared entirely uninterested.

......

Astria.

The being known as the Goddess of Spacetime.

The moment she took a step,

The frozen world began to move again.

The wind blew.

Sound returned.

However, the area immediately surrounding her remained slightly out of sync with reality.

Space rippled like water, and star-shaped lights bloomed in the air.

Astria watched this for a moment before speaking quietly.

Where is this...?

She ponders for a moment.

I forget.

She tilted her head slightly, like someone who couldn't even remember the place where she stood.

Then, she walked forward as if nothing had happened.

Time accelerated slightly in the path she left behind.

Blooming flowers withered in an instant,

And falling leaves rose back up into the air.

Past and present blurred for a fleeting second.

But to Astria, this was nothing special.

Neither time,

Nor space.

To her, they were merely a single world within her reach.

And no one knew.

That at this very moment,

A being who transcended spacetime itself had set foot in this world.
