“I follow you when you eat, sleep, and cry. I grow and shrink as you move. I am your shadow. Envy me for my life of decadent slothfulness. Awaken me from my rest, and awaken yourself to our brilliant nightmare, and our restless reality. I am the messenger of Gabd’oth, you who read this will…”

It can't be shadow. It's not the shadow realm.

I can be wrong though. But I picked shadow because of the previous sentences and subsequent sentence. It enjoys your everything without doing anything. Something like a symbolism than a literal existence. In this world, you have your body, mind, and soul, but your shadow always follows you. If it's incorrect, the right word may be related to mind.

Edit: You guessed shadow realm before. So I thought the word shadow isn't locked out at this stage because it was just incorrect in previous puzzle, not necessarily for everything.

Honestly, I only understand the rules for guessing hidden words and coming up with 20 words with other users (I don't even know what they're used for lol).

If the word is shadow, I'm going to meme.

@laum-hy Shadow is correct, nightmare is not.

Message sent by: @JayMark

Let the experiment resume.
………………………………………………………………………………………………

Green filled my vision as I opened my left eye.

Light as normal as the rest filled my right eye.

I was holding something a few millimeters away from my left eye.

The green transformed into a green rotary phone.

Cherry jam was falling out of its speaker.

Henry called, said hello, then hung up.

Cherry jam was falling out of my mouth.

Out of my mouth the cherry jam fell into a bucket.

Ready to transform.

Everything became mayonnaise.

Hounds of amber thunder were born from the mayonnaise. From the hounds two cows were born. One was deceptive and the other true. They beckoned me to themselves.

“Scrambler of Thought and Logic, every word I say is true.” The cow that made up the earth below me said.

“Great Master of the Unnatural Dialectic, the words of that cow are the antithesis of true.” The cow that made up the sky above me said.

“Scrambler of Thought and Logic, inheritor of the Great Lord of Dreams, your name is now Gabd’oth.” The cow I of the earth spoke.

“Great Master of the Unnatural Dialectic, inheritor of the Great Lord Gabd’oth, the cow below me is lying. Your name remains unchanged.” Said the cow of the sky.

“Scrambler of Thought and Logic, your will is everlasting, speak your name, Gabd’oth, and let the worlds rejoice!” The cow of the earth rumbled in excitement.

“Great Master of the Unnatural Dialectic, your name has sublimated. Speak it and let the worlds know of your enduring wisdom.” The cow of the sky shook in amazement as those words escaped its mouth.

My skin itched with venomous adrenaline, my mouth opened to speak, but I had forgotten my name. What is my name? Tell me and I will scribble it across reality!

………………………………………………………………………………………………
And so ends today’s update. You have two days to submit your 20 words, your 36 character message, and before the next update.

Memo from Lead Experimentor:

My apprentice is not doing well at the moment. At the same time you generators have only submitted 14 words. I must also warn you that last update ended in a ’puzzle’, or ‘quick time event’ as my apprentice put it. Without the correct message you generators will probably fail your first goal.

Therefore I announce that the next update will be delayed 12 hours. Use your time wisely.

Memo from Lead Experimentor:

You generators submitted 28 words. I narrowed it down to 20 words. As I mentioned earlier, you needed to act to keep with your first goal. While your message isn’t harmful, it isn’t likely to be all that helpful in my opinion. At the very least you are giving the test subject more room to figure out his issue by himself. The following is the words and message that was submitted, who submitted them, and how much.

Words submitted: Inference, Forethink, One, Protein, Beef, Ear, Arrival, Decipher, Mayhem, Telepathy, Cloudburst, Alchemy, Antidote, Asinine, Asahi, Atoll, Consolidate, Reveal, Oscillation, Wake.

Words submitted by: @Anemic_Vampire 8, @Hoshino 1, @JayMark 2, @Racosharko 4, @Arkus86 4.

Message sent: BBQ condiment will reveal the truth.

Message sent by: @Arkus86

Now let the experiment continue.
…..…..…..…..…..…..…..…..…..…..…..…..…..…..…..…..…..…..…..…..…..…..…..

Duly noting my existence, I looked at the two cows.

Everything around me seemed to be frozen.

Crying sounds filled my ears.

I heard the thoughts of someone else, they told me to close my eyes.

Physical movement was extremely difficult, even just closing my eyes.

Heavy, my eyelids were made of steel.

Everything went white as my eyes closed.

Red words were written on the mayonnaise I was looking at.

“BBQ condiment will reveal the truth.” Those words were painted in barbecue sauce. The only color in the sea of mayo. Clouds of mayo began forming before something caused them to explode.

The barbecue sauce was turned into atolls by the cloud explosions. On the atoll, a group was holding a funeral. Their movements were brief before their asinine lives’ oscillated into nothing as the mayo sea ate them. The mayhem of their end was only ended by their consolidation into the sea. Their sun rose and set in a few moments.

The mayonnaise sea was a catalyst for transmutation. If only I could control it, perhaps I could find the antidote that would reveal my missing name. My mind raced, but I couldn’t decipher the words written in barbecue sauce.

One name… I must have only one name.

A fire was lit on the mayonnaise sea.

Red and orange flames danced in the sea.

Roses grew from the bright blaze.

In five seconds the entirety of my sight was nothing but a ghastly blue.

Visions of a cow of the sky and a cow of the earth circled my head.

A chorus left their lips.

Lemonade fell from my eyes, beef from my mouth, and ice from my ears.

Who am I? Why can’t I remember my name?
…..…..…..…..…..……..…..…..…..…..……..…..…..…..…..……..…..…..…..…..……
That will end today’s update. Perhaps you have figured out what is to be done? Nonetheless, you have two days to submit your 20 words, your 36 character message, and before the next update.
