[CONTACT ESTABLISHED-REJOICE!]
A voice on the edge of the incomprehensible echoes though every living creature's heads all across the remains of Earth.
For a brief instant the shaking stops. As if a giant finally realized it should be a little more gentle when handling an injured bird.
[STAND BY FOR INTEGRATION-SCANNING LIFE FORMS-SAPIENT LIFE DETECTED- CONTACTING REPRESENTATIVE-•••-REPRESENTATIVE CAPALE OF HUMAN SPEACH FOUND]
A different softer more alluring human voice take seems to take over the messaging.
[Welcome Humans of Realm 1589205 Beta! Or what remains of your realm, anyway. Rejoice for you shall soon be integrated into the GREAT ALL KNOWING SYSTEM, as denizens!] Bands of light start piercing through the twilight void as the shaking returns with a new found vigor. Bands coil and stretch form nowhere but still manage to form what looks like a cage around the islands that make up what remains of earth.
[Remain calm humans for the system has begun repairing your realm. Prepare for an infusion of Primal Energy's by bracing your selves in all perceivable dimensions!]
Agony grips the realm as everything begins twisting, warping and healing. Moments stretch for decades. Power similar but antithetical to the twilight is happily embrace by the realms 13 Pillars. 3 trees become monoliths, 3 stones warp into vast ranges, 3 ruined structures twist and pierce though space, 3 calamities storms expand without constraint, wile a single persistent flame rises once more into the sky replacing its long lost cousin.
Just when everything starts becoming stable again the soft voice returns.
[Congratulations, new denizens! The Great System has successfully restored your Realm to a Stable 25% of its original base existence! It will now be handing over further repair efforts to… the Challengers Guild. It is greatly advised you check your System provided Log Book, seize the opportunity to cultivate, and not interfere with Systems Representatives!"] There cut off by the system delivering its own message.

Prince drags himself into a sitting position from his place on the floor. Feeling like he was put through a blender and injected with pure caffeine.
For a moment everyone in the lobby of Saint Malady just groans from their pain or confusion. But after a minute someone speaks up.
"My name! W why can't I remember my name!" Shouts one of the new patients that was trying to check in for a minor injury.
Suddenly almost everyone is freaking out shouting pleading desperately trying to remember there names, there families name's even the names of certain places are now missing from their memories!
Prince is just about to stand up when he notices a book lying just in front of him on the floor. It's not the one he bought to read to his brother instead it's a simple hand sized thing made from the same silver wood his family sells and harvest from there Piller. 'Prince' is engraved on the wooden cover.
Despite 'Prince' only being his nickname he can't help but feel that this book belongs to himself. As if his very Soul were transcribed within. So ignoring the shouting and panic he cracks open the cover feeling compelled.

None of this makes sense to Prince. But when he focuses really hard on some of the lines in the book, trying to puzzle together an answer for what he hopes to be a mass hallucination. The same soft voice from before provides a curated response. Name-Prince-the name you were statistically most called though out your life.
Confused Prince focus's on another line of text. Race-Human-A highly adaptable Race commonly found in Realms with low or nonexistent Primal Energy.
"My brother!" Panic surges through Prince as he stands up abandoning the weird book. He doesn't notice how it fades away after he lets go, as he's too focused on getting climb back up the stairs. Prince only stops as a blood curdling scream echoes down the stairs.
A creature rag dolls down the stairs stair well groaning and screaming with every bump having. Unbidden Warped-Human comes to Princes mind as he beholds looks like a human made completely from skin, forces its sell into a jiggly three legged stand from it's place art the foot of the stairs.
SCHUCKhmmhm!
It's screams by ripping is mouth open, only for the skin to reseal in mid scream.
"EVERYONE Out of the hospital NOW!" Prince shots out, unconsciously releasing a wave of Merciful intent. before grabbing the broken hand rail from before, off the floor. Fully intending to fight his way to his brother if he has to!
Lunging forward Prince slams the wooden rail into the creatures disturbing head, cringing at how it seems to only jiggle in response to the blow. Prince doesn't notice as it's hand is wiped at him until he's struck in the face himself. Before the creature can capitalize on it advantage.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
A security officer having pushed through the fleeing crowd unloads his gun into the creature. Prince reluctantly backs way giving his new accomplice a clearer shot.
BANG! BANG! BANG! click, click.
"I'm Empty Kid, Watching out!"
Enraged at being filled with cheap lead and having its precious organs ruptured the Warped Human bounds towards the closest target, Prince. Only for Prince to ram the rail through a fresh bolt wound in its jiggly head and nail it into the cheap wall.
Both men look on in disbelief as it tries pulling itself free only to slowly rip its own head apart spill out a leathal amount of blood and die.
"What was that thing!" Prince accuses the security officer.
"Heck if I know kid! Management has always done some shady shit here, but I've never seen them create a monster before! Ether way I'm out of Bolts, we need to evacuate."
"I'm not going anywhere with out-!"
A mass of skittering shapes began flowing down the Stairs RoachSwarm.
The security officer grabs the stunned Prince hoisting him over one shoulder and bolts for the door." Crazy shit is happening kid! I'm not about to let a willing able bodied combatant killer himself!"
Prince is about to protest further before a skeletal hand rips its way out of the floor unleashing an Aura of despair. Saint Malady-Subordinate Pillar Of Life. Prince watches form over the security guards shoulder as the barely human skeleton emerges from the floor, it's frame held together by familiar white wooden roots. The sait looks back at Prince with slight recognition"Worlds crumble, realms divide, the Mother persists. Crumble into nature's embrace humans as you're mistakes are corrected by the Mothers Hand. Or flee like the wretched thieves you are."
Saint Malady turns way from the fleeing duo instead turning to the wave of insects. "Embrace nature, become the soil for the Mothers forest." With a flourish of Saint Malady's skeletal hand the swarm and staircase are reduced ti a bloody bramble of silver shoots. Cutting off access to the upper floors.
