You need to know what happened.
Demanding of Her a simulacrum - no matter how intricate or real - of existence that once was is worthless, if you were so entangled in it the first time you never saw all this coming.
She has already offered you everything you could desire, and you rejected that. Perhaps once you are satisfied that this was all inevitable - that you could've dedicated your lifetime to stopping this and made no impact on the final result - then you may finally absolve yourself.
Then you'll be convinced that you were not important, and you can join the rest of humanity in Her callous embrace.

That "watching you die over and over again out of pure spite" option seemed like a pretty neat idea too. Maybe just tack that onto the whole eternal bliss thing.

No, not now. What's done is done, and agonizing won't bring it all back.

You need to internalize this reincarnation symbolically. Start as an insect, then work your way up.

Its been a long time.
But I posted an update.
You do awake.
In the soft grasses of another land.
A world filled with color!
And you are
...
Changed.
But not confused.
You know you had not always been as you were, know that you have been made anew, but every thread of yourself still is entwined with complete certainty and knowledge of how you are shaped, how you move.
And that you are young.
She is no longer speaking to you.
Or is everything around you her word
?
Her Will
?
Are you part of that
?
Simply resting in peaceful comfort on the grass was great but young limbs twitch and you are no longer weary.
No longer aching.
No longer tired.
Energy hums fresh and new in your body.
You arise to look upon the world around you.
Is it your world
?
Hers
?
Is there a difference
?
In the distance there is a sign of some great spire.
A single point of fixation in the empty clear blue of the sky and the receding green flatness of the grasses.
You can feel the impulses that had lead to your current state, brash ones.
Is this what you wanted
?
Or is it more that this is what will give you what you want
?
You could just sit here and watch the world all you like.
But eventually you are going to have to move.
WHAT ACTION DO YOU TAKE
?

Even longer delay then last one.
But now it is continuing.
It has been a very long time since you have eaten anything proper.
And to be perfectly honest given how much you had mused on the possibility of simply accepting Her offer for a feast this verdant and lush field of grass is a bit disappointing.
Or it would be if there was not a tickling in your mind that it smells rather refreshing and tempting.
Is that just the long ages with nothing but gray dust to catch on the scent?
You find yourself at a loss as a fact of life seems to have some how gone missing.
Was grass something that you had eaten before?
To be fair there is nothing abhorrent you feel about it.
Although the posture is unfamiliar.
Then again all the postures are unfamiliar.
It is her body or something shaped like it that you now wear.
But her form was an abstraction of elegance.
She never had to eat.
You are not entirely sure she was ever actually anything but a mirage invoked in your mind to get you to accept this.
You don't exactly feel hunger either.
But at the same time the desire to taste fresh food is strong.
Still disconcerting that you can't recall if grass was a thing you ever felt was edible.
Or for that matter not.
In fact there is a curious absence of specifics for you to recall on much of anything exact regarding diet.
What were those feasts going to be of?
Well the grass is very pleasant.
Culinary memory gaps aside its very refreshing and just slightly sweet.
Very rich in juiciness that feels almost like a mingling of clear pristine water with hints of flavor and just the slightest bit of texture to give a hint of satisfaction in chewing it and then swallowing.
Really quite pleasant but not the most satisfying experience regarding food you expect.
Although exactly what you are expecting that would be better is left as a tickling emptiness in your attempts to recall it.
She obviously has done things to you since your arrival.
It is rather eerie actually.
But also hard to be disturbed by it.
Probably because She made it so that you would not find it COMPLETELY disturbing.
But then why let it be disturbing at all?
Well there is nothing to make any direction different from another besides the rising tower.
And nothing that seems to be changing as you mull on the grass.
And to be honest the grass feels satisfying in a sense of food and drink.
Really is Pleasant but not anything like the paradise you were expecting from all of her promises.
Time to Start your Journey you suppose.
WHAT IS THE FIRST CHALLENGE YOU ENCOUNTER

I bet you thought this was forgotten and over.
If you did I guess you were wrong.
But that is okay It was not your fault.
Well
That came upon you rather suddenly.
Although its not exactly surprising that it did.
Although why the entire world would be replaced with abstract representation of a feudal warzone you are not sure.
The tower continues to beckon ahead of you.
However beyond the strangeness of the terrain is the strangeness of the first inhabitants you are to meet.
Once again promises of paradise seem to be falling a bit short.
Maybe this is some kind of punishment
?
A test
?
A Challenge
?
What are these tiny gooey things supposed to represent for you
?
They snarl and sputter randomly at one another.
You don't really have the heart to be disgusted by them.
It is sort of pitiful really.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS CHALLENGE
?

Push them all away from each other so that they won't have anything to fight about anymore.
