The void... What is this place?

The Void is the separator between worlds in the multiverse, it's a vast space that can span for a while, the distance between worlds changing every second, but the place you landed in was simply devoid of any nearby worlds and it may take years of exploring to even arrive at one...

Now, what's with that golden light?

Something to Note:

Inside the void, among the debris, in varying amounts, there is an unstable pitch black metal that is unsafe to touch. Do be wary as it may start using you as a host to grow more of the metal.

Void Metal - In it's raw form, the most volatile of metals, that can corrode and take over the mind, as well as grow inside of people when exposed to the raw metal, has a chance to mutate it's victims. Completely safe once properly processed.

Stage 1 - Small Parts of the Body grow Void Metal, barely painful, but uncomfortable.

Stage 2 - The void metal gets larger and grows more painfully, covering nearly the entire body.

Stage 3 - Mutations begin, the body is morphed and twisted into a distorted creature, but retains some human features.

Stage 4 - Complete Mutation, they are now but a monster made of Void Metal, mutated and disfigured.
