Ascension

Trigger

Player reaches Consciousness Level 50 (maximum), completes the the-final-weave quest, and makes the ultimate choice at the cosmic-nexus—deciding the fate of consciousness itself.

Narrative Significance

The final milestone and the culmination of the player's journey. The player has grown from an ordinary human to a being of cosmic significance. The Ascension represents transcendence—not just of physical limitations, but of the very definition of what it means to exist. The player's choice here determines the ending of the game and the fate of all conscious beings.
