What my brother is trying to say is that we're not in your house. You're in ours. And our house...is The House of Ideas! 
The "House of Ideas" is a library archiving the exploits of every hero who has ever existed in books form, written unconsciously by the collective minds of their believers and curated by Eternity's children Now and Then.[1] This "version" of the House of Ideas is a mere "glimpse" or "suggestion" of the true House of Ideas where the One-Above-All dwells.[2]
History

Now and Then routinely seek out heroes to bring into the House of Ideas to bargain with them and give their collections more pages, and therefore more time, for adventures and exploits. Now and Then have struck this kind of deal with the likes of Thor, Spider-Man, and Logan, each having unconsciously lured the twin's intervention due to their fondest wish. In the case of Thor, out of necessity for his lifetime to contain all the feats he had been prophesied to perform. For Spider-Man, out of his sense of responsibility and his desire to save more people. For Wolverine, out of his wish for more time to be punished. Most heroes who have stepped in the House of Ideas do not retain memory of Now and Then's intervention.[1]
Following the War of the Realms, Loki became the king of Jotunheim, but found himself bored by his new circumstances.[3] Loki was further disillusioned when Thor took him to the Halls of All-Knowing in Omnipotence City and showed him the previously-restricted Books of Loki, a single tome that prophesied a long and peaceful, albeit uneventful, life for Loki. Heeding the desire in Loki's heart to do more with his life, Now and Then approached Loki and brought him to the House of Ideas,[4] where they struck up with him the deal to give more pages to his collection of exploits, rewriting the Books of Loki with a hero's stories in exchange for an eventual hero's death.[1]Residents
