In a fantasy world, there once was a very ambitious young man. He wished for one thing, and one thing only. This one thing was power. He was always looking for opportunities to gain, and soon became the chief adviser of the emperor of a very large and powerful empire. He was satisfied with his position, but he thought, and realized there was no clean way to ascend further. So he persuaded the emperor in making himself as the heir to the kingdom. (as the emperor had no direct descendants or children) Following this, he hired an assassin. After successfully assassinating the emperor, he then had the assassin killed such that no one would know of his doings, and declared himself emperor.
Time passed, and the young man reigned for a year. But he was not happy, and wanted to gain more power. He declared wars and conquered land, until he became the supreme, autocratic ruler of the entire world. He had all the power any mortal could desire, but he still wanted more. So he began searching for ways he could acquire more. He thought, and realized he did not have control over a great many things, one being physics.
So the young man summoned all of the engineers, scientists, magicians, wizards, priests, and anyone else who could help him accomplish this amazing goal. After a year of hard work, this assembled team gave him the power to control all things physical, and he used this power to mold the world his way. But he was still not happy. He wanted invincibility and immortality.
His combined team harnessed the powers he already had and used another year. They gave him invincibility and immortality. He now felt like a god, and enjoyed his exceptional existence. But of course, he was continuously ambitious. And so, he demanded control over time.
His team, now very fearful of him, reluctantly gave him the power to control time. With a single thought, this young man could now freeze time, or return to the past, or advance to the future.
This process continued over twenty years, and the young man soon became the ultimate being. He had all powers imaginable, and was essentially all-powerful. But then, he was still ambitious. Knowing he could o longer continue to ascend, he became very furious with himself. He fell into a rage, and the rage just so happened to cause a drastic change to him. He fainted from the transformation.
When he finally woke up, infinite years had passed. All things, including time and space, including existence, had disappeared. He was now hovering in a void, a pure manifestation of power.
