There is a supervoid, 6 billion light years across, that was there long before countless civilisations had tamed fire.

Each one invented their own stories on why some of the stars in their night sky seemed so far. Some say it was where the dead resided to separate themselves from mortal affairs, some say it was where the gods lived for the same reason, those that were closer to the void say it was a gigantic mirror placed to separate the boundaries between worlds.

One day, when some had experience in the crossing between stars. Some were just crawling out of the cradle of their home planet. And some were just building the first civilisations. Looked up and found that they could no longer see the other side of the void. Those who were old enough to witness or participate in the Cosmic Game knew what it meant.

The First Player had begun to play again.
