REALITY ANCHOR: Deep Explanation
Name: Reality Anchor
Status: Active (Permanent unless forcefully removed by external multiversal authority)
Origin: Installed by the god at the moment of the MC's return to Earth
Purpose: To maintain the MC's existence, powers, and mind within the bounds of normal Earth reality—without warping or destabilizing the world around him.

1. Purpose and Design Philosophy
After ten years of multiversal warfare, the MC has accumulated knowledge, skills, and experiences that are fundamentally incompatible with a normal, Earth-bound existence. While the god gifted him the ability to retain everything, Earth is still a baseline, fragile plane—a reality where the laws of physics are stable, time is linear, and beings like Cthulhu are the stuff of fiction.
The Reality Anchor is essentially a limiter and translator between the MC's cosmic, chaos-scarred self and the mundane, orderly world he came from. It allows him to exist without leaking dangerous concepts, destabilizing space-time, or drawing attention from multiversal predators or safeguards.

2. Functions
A. Reality Normalization
The anchor ensures the MC's presence does not disrupt Earth's rules. For example:
• His gravitational presence remains normal, even if he once moved like a black hole in another universe.
• His aura, which once cracked stone with fear or projected raw intent, is suppressed unless he consciously allows a sliver through.
• His mana, void essence, or any other supernatural energy is nullified externally, unless sealed or internalized.
B. Temporal Lock
Because time paused on Earth while the MC was gone, and because he's technically out of sync with the timeline, the anchor locks him into the correct Earth-timeframe. This prevents:
• Accelerated aging
• Time reversal effects
• Involuntary multiversal bleed-through
C. Sanity Shielding
Perhaps most importantly, the Reality Anchor prevents the mental feedback of his experiences from melting his brain or influencing others. It protects:
• His own sanity by blocking fragmented multiversal thoughts from intruding into his day-to-day life.
• Other people by shielding them from his memories, aura, or unintended emotional radiation.

3. Why It's Dangerous to Tamper With
The god designed this anchor as a failsafe, and explicitly warned the system not to let the MC mess with it. If the anchor is removed or destabilized:
• The MC may start to influence reality passively—causing hallucinations, madness, gravitational anomalies, and time warps in those around him.
• His powers may leak, even if he isn't trying to use them.
That's why the tooltip says:
"Seriously. Don't."
Even the system is designed to never grant access to toggle or tamper with the anchor. It's a fixed module, unremovable unless by the god himself or another being of equivalent authority.
