Two voices. One choice. Welcome to the world of the Selected.

In the universe of The Selected, power isn’t granted—it’s chosen. Or perhaps… whispered.

When an individual becomes one of the Selected, they don’t just gain abilities—they inherit a burden. Two opposing voices rise in their minds. The Prime. And the Other.

They are not mere advisors. They are directions. Cosmic forces pulling against each other, each seeking to shape the fate of reality. Each whispering a different truth.

And the Selected must choose which one to heed.

The Universe as a Game of Power

Rogan, one of the most powerful Selected alive, discovered early on that the universe is more than chaos and stars—it has structure. An order. A design.

His interpretation? The universe is a board game.

A staggeringly vast cosmic board, with players of influence at every level. The Selected are powerful pieces but even they don’t rule the game.

At the very top sit two players: The Prime. The Other. Forces so ancient and vast they control the rules of time itself—past, present, and future. They don’t play for territory or conquest. They play for the very soul of creation.

Everyone else—human, creature, planet, or empire—is a piece on the board. Assets. Livestock.

What Do the Prime and the Other Want?

That is the central question. That is Rogan’s obsession.

The Prime seems to guide its Selected toward expansion—toward light, growth, evolution. A future where the stars are within reach and destiny is mapped.

The Other? Its motives are cloaked in shadow. Whispers. Seduction. It feeds on hidden desires, offering direction that can lead to power—or ruin.

To Rogan, they aren’t gods. They’re farmers. Not harvesting flesh, but influence. The power of a decision. The value of an idea. The currency of belief.

And in this strange and fantastical universe, the Selected are both weapon and wager.

The Selection Process

The Prime chooses who becomes Selected.

The Other waits in the dark.

Once Selected, the voices begin. Guidance. Commands. Warnings. Seductions. Visions... And every single Selected—no matter how strong—must choose which voice to follow.

Rogan chose… neither.

Rogan’s Rebellion

He listened. He weighed. He observed.

And then, he stepped off the board.

Rogan declared himself free—untethered to the Prime or the Other. But freedom comes with a cost. The visions he receives—horrific images of war, suffering, and loss—might be divine truth... or a trick. A cosmic test. A punishment.

Still, he refuses to kneel.

Because while the Prime and the Other battle for the universe’s future, Rogan fights for something else entirely: The people he loves. A destiny of his own making. A future not written by cosmic forces, but forged by choice. His choice.

A Universe at War. A Man Who Chose Not to Obey.

The world of The Selected is vast, dangerous, and layered with meaning. It’s a place where magic isn’t just power—it’s politics. Philosophy. Religion. Survival.

It’s a world where every gift comes with a voice. And every voice has a cost.

And for Rogan, the price of truth might be everything.
