As the ghost slowly began to tell its tale, the story of the Natural Gas Race gradually came to light.
...
From a time long ago, the Natural Gas Race had lived inside a single pillar, which they called—the World Pillar.
Countless members of the Natural Gas Race would liquefy, living within the pores of this World Pillar.
Although it was a hard and dense stone pillar, its interior was filled with countless pores that crisscrossed in an intricate network, branching out like the limbs of a tree to every corner of the World Pillar.
In the middle of the World Pillar was a great fissure that ran from top to bottom—the Great Rift. Most of the Natural Gas Race lived within it.
But the concept of the World Pillar did not exist from the very beginning.
The Natural Gas Race was born inside the World Pillar, and they once believed that these pores constituted their entire world.
