The Void.
A Special Domain detached from the Material World yet closely connected to it.
Its existence was somewhat like the outermost film of a world, isolating it from all manner of outside influences.
A little farther outward was where the various worlds converged.
There,
within an incomparably vast ocean of infinite expanse, other worlds within this plane floated about—connected in some ways, yet each distinct...
Once one entered it, they could very likely encounter entirely different Power Systems and species.
And just slightly farther inward from where the Void lay was the region of the Astral Plane!

If entrants were even slightly careless,
they could become lost within it forever.
At times, one could even encounter God Corpses and God Scourges lying dead within!
Thus, even those lofty gods did not dare ignore the risks within and roam freely.
And now,
after passing through the Space Door,
Orsaga was in the Void, one of the two places mentioned above.
Here, distance was a vague concept.
Two things might appear close together, yet in reality be separated by a distance as vast as the ends of the earth.
Moreover, those violent currents of time and space
