CHAPTER 3 —
DECEMBER 31ST December 31st.
The church was full.
People prayed for the new year.
They thanked God for being alive.
Dorsen prayed differently.
Not asking.
Not begging.
Just thinking.
And then it struck him.
A realization—not divine, not supernatural.
Clear. Calm. Human.
"Maybe God doesn't want me to change His world."
His heart raced.
"Maybe… I'm not meant to interfere with reality."
Then the thought that changed everything:
"If God won't turn the real world into a trial…
I can create a world that reflects it."
Not to replace God.
Not to deny Him.
But to understand Him.
