Alternate?

As Alexander returned to wakefulness, he found himself immersed in a completely different scene than he had experienced before. The previously clear and calm sky had been replaced by a sky rumbling with extremely black clouds. The clouds moved so low and dark, as if they were carrying an uncontrollable weight. They enveloped the sky with an overwhelming pressure.

However, what was most striking was the mound of earth that suddenly appeared before his eyes. At first, it was just a small mound that seemed to be springing up from the ground, but then it kept growing, higher and higher, at a startling speed. Alexander felt as if he was witnessing the growth of a sky-high mountain, with the ground continuing to grow and rise.

And then, in a tense moment, there was an avalanche. The earth and mounds that had grown so tall suddenly collapsed violently, creating a huge wave of dust and rock that rolled around him. Alexander felt himself being dragged along by the avalanche's current, spinning around in uncontrollable confusion.

At that moment, he felt a very strange and surreal sensation. It felt as if he had been thrown into an alternate timeline, into a completely different universe from the one he knew. Everything seemed so confusing and unexpected.

In this universe, he felt a powerful presence, an entity watching him closely. An indescribable voice began to fill his room, explaining slowly in words that no human mind could explain. "This is Alighieri's universe," the voice said, "This is the nature of ultimate infinity."

These words created deep confusion in Alexander's mind. He felt himself in a place far from his understanding, where the laws of nature he was familiar with did not seem to apply. The voice continued to explain, "This is the nature of spacetime, an undefined spanning of the lowest dimension to the highest exists within the infinite continuum of interconnected cosmic atoms that make up super-white-light."

This explanation made Alexander's head spin. He tried to make sense of these indescribable words, tried to sink his teeth into the meaning they implied. But the more he tried, the more complicated and confusing everything seemed.

Inside Alighieri's universe, he felt like an explorer who had ventured too far into the realm of the incomprehensible. Everything felt so surreal and confusing, as if he had entered into a different dimension, into a world that was not limited by the familiar laws of nature.

All the while, a mysterious, unseen voice continued to explain in increasingly deep and complex words. Alexander tried to digest every word, every phrase, in an attempt to unravel the meaning behind the words. But the more he listened, the more he felt himself adrift in a sea of incomprehensible words.

And then, as in a sudden moment of realization, Alexander began to feel that there was a truth hidden behind all of this. There was something greater than human understanding that he was exploring. This was a universe far more vast and complex than he had ever imagined.

Yet, with all his confusion, he felt that he had to continue searching for answers. What did this voice mean when it referred to "Alighieri's universe"? And what exactly was happening in this universe, where dimensions and spacetime seemed to merge in unimaginable ways?

These questions continued to swirl in Alexander's mind as he tried to make sense of this incredible experience. Although he felt so small and limited within such a vast universe, his determination to seek answers never faded.

As he continues his journey through Alighieri's confusing universe, he feels that every step he takes brings him closer to a deeper understanding of the nature of reality and existence itself. Although there is much that he does not yet understand, he knows that this journey will bring about profound changes in him, and perhaps in the world as well.

As Alexander found himself immersed in Alighieri's mysterious and unfathomable universe, one of the most astonishing things was the voice he heard. It was so nonsensical, as if it had no apparent source. It was a sound that could not be described in words, like an audio wave from an invisible dimension.

What was even more astonishing was the similarity of the voice to the mysterious figure that had appeared in his sleep experiences, Hobos. Hobos, with its distinctive red aura, seemed to have a voice similar to this voice, or perhaps it was the other way around. The voice was a manifestation of the red aura that always surrounded Hobos, a feature that became an identifying mark of this character.

Alexander felt that he had entered a universe far more complicated and extraordinary than he had ever imagined. The presence of this voice, seemingly unrestrained by the familiar laws of physics, created a sense of wonder and fear in him. The sound became like a sign that he was in a completely different world, where reality and existence looked very different from what he was familiar with.

As he approached the source of the sound, he became more and more convinced that it was a manifestation of the red aura that he had been familiar with since his first encounter with the Hobos. This red aura, which had filled the Hobos with intense light, seemed to have taken the form of this unexpected sound.

However, what was even more astonishing was when the voice suddenly transformed into something even more fantastic. Within a few seconds, the sound was able to emit light like a star shining brightly in the night sky. This light created flashes that filled Alighieri's entire universe, creating a scene that was so beautiful and wondrous, but also so disturbing and confusing.

It's as if the light becomes part of the sound itself, creating a dazzling visual effect. Alexander felt himself immersed in the splendor of this light, as if he had entered a universe made entirely of light and color.

But what was even more astonishing was the light's ability to engulf the objects around it, as if creating a black hole that consumed everything in its path. Surrounding objects, be they rocks, plants or even dust, seem to simply disappear when hit by this light. They appear to be crushed and absorbed by the invisible force that exists within the light.

When he witnessed this phenomenon, Alexander felt uncontrollable fear and awe. This was something far beyond his human understanding. This light seemed to be a manifestation of the infinite power of the universe, a power that could create and destroy in the blink of an eye.

However, in all his confusion, he felt that this voice had a hidden message. What was this voice trying to convey? Why did the red aura contained within the Hobos turn into this phenomenon? And how was all this related to the experiences he had gone through earlier?

With all these questions running through his mind, Alexander felt that he had to find answers. He felt that Alighieri's universe was the key to understanding more about the nature of reality and existence. Although he felt so small and limited in the face of such immense and uncontrollable forces, he felt that he had to try to understand and uncover the meaning behind it all.

This journey through Alighieri's confusing universe becomes not only a search for answers, but also a search for a deeper understanding of himself. Along with every step he takes, he feels that he is getting closer to the truth hidden behind all these mysteries.

As he moves forward, towards the light that continues to shine brightly, he feels that he has entered a journey that will change him forever. It is a journey into an infinite and unfathomable world, where the secrets of the universe are revealed one after another, and he must be prepared to face them with strong determination and an open mind.

When Alexander realizes that he is trapped in a universe that seems to have been created by Hobos, he feels himself sinking deeper and deeper into the baffling mystery. He saw red and yellow signs that were very familiar to him, signs that he had seen in his nightmares. However, this time, they were here, in the universe he was currently experiencing. This was a clue that reinforced his belief that this was not just an illusion, but a real universe, or at least real in the context of the mystery he was facing.

In his quest for a deeper understanding of his situation, Alexander tried to move through this strange environment. But as he attempted to move, he felt like he was being propelled by a very strange flow. This was not a flow that could be conventionally defined, neither horizontal nor vertical. It was an experience so alien and confusing, it was as if the laws of physics had changed in this universe.

When he was in this flow, he saw an entity that appeared before him. This entity was even more sinister than Hobos, the figure he had seen earlier in his sleep experience. This entity had its entire body covered by a semi-black gray cloth, like a cover-up that created an aura of mystery and unfamiliarity. Most striking was that this entity seemed to have no face, instead there was only darkness and obscurity.

Alexander's gaze on this entity created a very intense and disorienting feeling. He felt as if he was dealing with an inexplicable presence, something that was beyond human comprehension. His body being covered by a semi-black gray cloth created a very eerie sensation, as a covering that concealed a truth that was perhaps too great to comprehend.

What is even more alarming is that this entity has ash marks splattered across several objects. These ash marks were like traces left by this presence in this strange universe. They raised deep questions in Alexander's mind. Were these entities the original inhabitants of this universe? What were they doing here, and how did they relate to Hobos and his previous experiences?

These cosmic entities were like characters in an inevitable horror story, as if they were part of the forces controlling the universe. Although he felt scared and threatened by their presence, he also felt that this was an opportunity to understand more about the nature of the universe he was exploring.

When he tried to approach these entities or even communicate with them, he felt that they were completely unresponsive. They were beings that seemed to exist beyond human comprehension, and conversation or communication with them seemed impossible.

Questions continued to swirl in Alexander's mind as he tried to digest everything he was experiencing. Was this universe created by the Hobos with a specific purpose? Were these cosmic entities the guardians or protectors of this universe? And what was really going on behind all the mysteries he was facing?

In all his confusion, Alexander felt his resolve growing stronger. He realized that he was an explorer in an infinite universe, and that this journey was part of a very deep search for existence and the meaning of life. Although he felt so small and limited in the face of such immense and unreachable forces, he would not give up in his quest to uncover the truth hidden behind all of this.

With all the uncertainties he faced, Alexander was ready to continue his journey through this strange universe. He knew that this journey would lead him to a deeper understanding of himself and of the greater nature of reality than he had ever imagined. And in his determined heart, he committed to exploring every dark and mysterious corner of Alighieri's universe, in an attempt to reach the truth that might be hidden behind it all.

After seeking understanding in such a strange and confusing universe, Alexander felt that he had to uncover more about the creature that appeared before him, an entity called Sattak. To that end, he decided to research further, finding out more about this being that seemed to have a very important role in Alighieri's universe.

First of all, he saw that Sattak was in a book that was in his pocket. It was a book that appeared to be very old and full of strange writing. Each page of this book looks like the work of a cosmologist trying to detail the secrets of this universe. The pictures in the book depicted Sattak-like entities, with striking ash markings on their bodies.

As he explored the book carefully, he discovered more information about Sattak. According to this book, Sattak is an ancient being that has a very decisive role in Alighieri's universe. The name itself contains a deep meaning; Sattak, or the Speechless One or the Unspeakable One, suggests that this being is a silent and mysterious entity, unlike Hobos who have very strong and conspicuous voices.

But even more astonishing is the role that Sattak plays. According to the book, Sattak is the bearer of the mark of ashes. This is a mark given to certain targets, and it is a sign that their destiny is sealed. Sattak not only gives this mark, but is also responsible for carrying out this destiny. The target given the ash mark by Sattak will die within a period of 1 day, and no one can escape this destiny.

This inescapable destiny is part of Sattak's terrible power. This created a deep sense of uncertainty in Alexander's mind. How could any being have control over one's destiny, and how did this relate to Alighieri's mysterious universe?

In addition, Sattak was also referred to as "The Great Root" and had a name that no human could identify, Nhurr. These names create an even deeper aura of mystery surrounding this being. What does the nickname "The Great Root" mean, and why does Sattak have a name that humans cannot pronounce?

All these questions kept swirling in Alexander's mind as he continued to study the book. He felt that Sattak was a key part of all the mysteries he was facing, and that he had to seek deeper answers about this creature.

However, as he tried to approach further understanding of Sattak, he felt more and more trapped in Alighieri's unfathomable universe. Strange inexplicable creatures and puzzling phenomena kept appearing before him. It was such an intense and mysterious experience, where reality seemed to change with every step he took.

Sattak was one of the key elements in this mystery, but he felt that there was still so much he needed to know. He had to uncover more about Sattak's role in this Alighieri universe, and how it related to the Hobos and other cosmic entities he encountered.

With all the uncertainties he faced, Alexander felt that he had to forge ahead in his quest to understand this being and the nature of the universe he was exploring. Although the inevitability of his fate seemed so daunting, he felt that he had to find a way to deal with it and perhaps even try to change it. This journey through Alighieri's universe is a great test of his determination and courage, and he is ready to face it with confidence. Then Sattak showed Alexander a strange journey:

We're about to enter a world that's endless, and there's one character who's so arrogant. Even the author himself is overwhelmed by his arrogance: his name is Granule No. 7. At first, he was just an ordinary human being, but somehow he suddenly turned into a philosopher king with unclear desires. He claims to be a "seeker of infinite immortality", the nemesis of normal story structure, and a plotter.

Granule starts showing off by shouting that he doesn't believe in boundaries. The writer, Mr. Flat Shore (whose imagination is mediocre but loves to use tall words), initially tried to be patient. "Really," Flat Shore thought, "is there a character who dares to challenge the basic rules of the story?"

But Granule No. 7 was different. He casually broke all the rules: from genre rules to making the reader nervous. He looks at Flat Shore, wags his finger cheekily, and says, "You're just an ordinary person, how can you understand my unlimited power. Your pen is just a toy, your brain is like a peanut."

After that, Granule began a speech that was as long as Hamlet. In the style of a first-semester philosopher, he lectured that the writer's pen was just a tool to channel "super-genius thoughts" from his brain. If Flat Shore dares to write about him, it's an insult. But if you don't write about it? That's cowardice!

"Do you understand my determination?" Granule shouted. "I will defeat your imagination, your civilization, even the universe! Even if your children and grandchildren of infinite make sequels, I'll still beat them all and make them rewrite it!"

Flat Shore, once a passionate writer, is now a hostage to his own characters. He's tried everything - from killing Granule to turning him to stone, but to no avail. Granule always comes back with more pretentious lectures about "infinity" and "persistence".

"You know," Granule said as he lectured the resigned Flat Shore, "your failure is just a stepping stone. Your despair is proof of my greatness. Keep writing, weak human. Your suffering is entertainment for me."

After what felt like a year, Granule had an "epiphany". He said that infinity is not a goal, but a state. "ME is infinity itself," he ranted. "Chasing me is chasing something impossible!" Flat Shore, who was already like a living corpse, could only nod weakly, while writing a perfunctory note to end the story.

But Granule wasn't satisfied. "This isn't an ending," he grumbled. "This story, like all the others, is just a small sequel in an unlimited universe called ME. Your story, Flat Shore, is just a speck of dust in my grand plan."

When Granule disappeared into the void of nowhere, he left Flat Shore a final message: "Remember, your greatest achievement is just a stepping stone for my infinite journey."

Flat Shore finally gave up completely, vowing never to write again for the rest of his life. Meanwhile, in a galaxy in the middle of nowhere, Granule is probably still lecturing himself.

And in the story written by Granule, he wrote a fictional character called The Black One, or not named at all:

You can imagine, training is so careless that it doesn't just break down barriers, it breaks the "logical ceiling" as well. Every day, emotional outbursts increase your strength many times over. So when other people are still busy sweating and training hard, this person just casually flies to the peak of strength. He's truly the patron saint of lucky beginners.

For him, breathing using oxygen? Too mainstream. Protein shake? Water? What the hell. He's even stronger by "feeding" on the desperation of his enemies who realize there's no habitat as extreme as the one he's afraid of. Boiling water bath? Play around in outer space? Plunging into toxic fumes? For him, "Ah, just a Tuesday routine."

This hero doesn't just break down walls - he seeks them out. Why fear the future like everyone else when you can casually know what's going to happen? Writers bite the bullet, fans laugh, and reality just throws up its hands.

Learning moves for years? What a waste of time. All he has to do is copy-paste his opponent's skills and, yes, he's instantly better than the one with the moves. What makes it even more annoying? He doesn't even care about his own prowess. Skills to him are like a collection of key chains, cute to display, but yeah... not very important.

The law of gravity? Skip. Newton's law? Doesn't apply. Momentum? Pfft, it can surf between galaxies on the breeze. Scientists are already in early retirement because they can't explain their equations to this creature. In the grave, Newton must be scratching his head wondering where he went wrong.

Bullets, molten lead, space radiation? All bounce around like water on a taro leaf. If this is a game, he's a walking cheat code that makes the "hardcore" mode feel like playing a "watching simulator."

Not content with laughing at death, he can even rewrite what has or will happen. What's the point of trying to avoid danger if you can make it never exist? For him, time is like a playlist of songs, which can be shuffled at will.

What makes his enemies shudder is not his superpowers, but his lackadaisical attitude. His ultimate weapon is not magical or physical, but an existential crisis that he gives to anyone who dares to challenge him. "Why did I bother to fight?" the enemies think, while the hero casually defeats them while yawning and sneezing.

Nowadays, where meta-commentary is all the rage, we find dizzying stories about Granule No. 7 and Flat Shore. Yes, those weird names. Why use regular names when you can use names that sound like rejects from an online catalog?

Granule seems important, not because he does anything, but because the author insists on saying "he's too genius for ordinary people to understand". Granule isn't just an ordinary character, he's the embodiment of all the author's unfulfilled dreams. He's like a god of vanity, an impossible ideal, but the funny thing is... there's no dialog! Instead, there are pages explaining why Granule is the only one who understands his own purpose. It's easy to create a character, just stick the label "mysterious and incomprehensible".

Then there's Flat Shore, who is said to be the protagonist. But he's really just there to make Granule look cool. All he does is remind us every paragraph that he's lucky to be around the super awesome Granule. Imagine a rabid fan who has no charm at all. Every time Flat finds the "truth", we're reminded that Granule is way ahead. It's like the author's personal vendetta against normal story structure.

The "plot"? (If you can call it a plot at all) It's said to be about "a journey into the unknown." What does that mean? No one knows, including the author himself. It's just a bunch of words arranged to sound deep, but it avoids making sense. The author insists that everything Granule and Flat do is "infinite", "infinite", "impossible to understand". Translation? Maybe they're just sitting on the couch, while the author is busy writing pretentious words in a spiral notebook.

And then comes the pièce de résistance: he says that they go beyond infinite natural numbers. Yes, because obviously, their word vomit is equivalent to infinite mathematical theory. This story, they say, is just "the starting point of a small number" on an eternal journey.

So what is this story that pretends to be deep and infinite? It's not a whole story, it's just a small speck of ambition wrapped in tall words. Or to put it more simply: it's a story that tries really hard to look cool, but it's empty. It's even smaller than a quark in terms of meaning and purpose and of course, smaller than the qualities properties of quark.

And all of that is reality, they really exist, they really are real and they say the same thing.

There is actually a being that has risen far above all civilizations. Its journey begins in a realm governed by principles so advanced that they resemble abstract mathematics made real. These principles already exist as the basis of function in a universe with complications so high that it is labeled "Infinite Reality," a cosmos that dwarfs the already-happening and the lesser. However, even this universe is just one story among countless others in a hierarchy of stories.

This being, equipped with a highly advanced mechanism he called the "Traversal Apparatus", which obviously allowed him to ascend through this endless hierarchy. With each ascent, he releases the limitations of his previous reality, being above all hierarchies and at a peak that is unreachable even by the meta-narratives that surround him. His device, enhanced with what he called the "Singularity", made him above all things in thought and unconstrained by logical thinking.

One day, when he used this power to its limit, he found himself in a world he later called the "Rotten Continuum". This space was an infinite expanse of pure white where things seemed to emerge slowly from an unknown source. Here, he realized that every event or dimension was written in real time on a pen or typewriter.

As he floated in this limitless realm, his thoughts began to manifest as tangible constructs. Countless memories from his life reassembled in and manifested in front of him. He saw the first test of the Rotten Crimson, a catastrophic event that turned the entire city into a mixture of matter swirling irregularly like a whirlpool. It turned all of his memories into meltdowns on the spot and destroyed several pieces of his technology, miraculously not damaging any of his beloved tools.

Now he understood that his existence was merely a realized story, created into something beyond the limits of hyperbole. However, in his despair, he discovered the truth that the white expanse of the Rotten Continuum was a space where all stories were written directly and with an imagination that could no longer even be called human. By understanding this, he was able to gain authority over the writing that could allow him to create "stories" that fit as a higher reality.

With a found determination, he took on his role as a creator rather than a mere wanderer. He then forced the Singularity and succeeded far above the Rotten Continuum, becoming one with the "Infinite Principle", which is literally a state of being that embodies the totality of all things. In this form, he was no longer limited by infinity and created harmony to the monads. He exists as the absolute foundation of all things, shaping and destroying whatever is predestined, yet he does not move or change, as everything is his plan unfolding with his omnipotence.

From this vantage point, he looks back at the vast hierarchy of stories that now coalesce in his perception. Each narrative is but a small creation overlapping each other as an endlessly looming hierarchy. As he expands his influence, he forms the World Library which is a metaphysical archive that holds every existence that may or may not exist. Its presence is now the cornerstone of all creation, hence, there is no concept, no level of infinity, or even a place that can contain it.

The beings of his planet achieved what many thought impossible: they created a perfect imitation of the Black Umbool, a structure that goes far beyond conventional geometry and within which lies the essence of the story. The Black Umbool exists in an almost impossible dimension, an infinite library where each book contains a universe, and each universe contains its own infinite library. This is the nature of the hierarchy of worlds, an endless cascade, each layer dreaming of the world beneath it becoming real. What we perceive as reality may only be an illusion to those above us, while we ourselves dream of the entire universe being below. The strange thing about this arrangement also lies in its perfect symmetry: there is no bottom, no top, just endless layers of dreaming dreams.

The worlds above hold absolute power over the worlds below, automatically gaining the authority to write their history, laws, and nature with only a thought-out plan. This power would be alien to know that somewhere above, one may be nothing more than a figment of someone else's story. Within each storyworld are multiple spaces, each more abstract than the last. Empty space holds the physical, tangible things of reality, the atoms and forces that give substance to existence. Cause and effect reign, and the laws of nature govern.

There is also the space of doom, a world of pure concepts where language itself is born. Here reside the archetypes, the basic ideas from which all specific instances arise. It is the place where 'tree' has existed before any particular tree, where 'love' was before the first heartbeat. The space of doom is the spring from which all meanings emerge continuously without stopping. Beyond that lies the space of the canvas, a space so fundamental that words themselves dissolve into meaninglessness. Even concepts are destroyed, leaving only pure potential, in short just a blank canvas on which a story will be written.

All these stories and spaces, exist in something more fundamental. 'Emptiness and celestial bodies'. This is not the void, but rather the void that contains from which everything emerges. It is the page on which all stories are written and the hand that writes them. Those who created the Black Umbool imitation came to understand a truth that all existence, from the highest story to the lowest, is but a dream within a dream. But whose dream? Perhaps we are all dreams dreaming of ourselves. And from this, the beings of his planet evolved to be at the top of this hierarchy and in the 'Theon' or Ultimate phase, where being is the absolute.

There is a world called Choros. Within it was the Cosmarchy, which in short was an infinite series of dimensions stacked on top of each other, each holding infinite worlds called Mythrones.

The Cosmarchy holds that each Mythrone, no matter how defined in the equation, is merely an illusion to the dimension above it. To its inhabitants, the Mythrone is everything, an infinite absolute reality. But to those who dwell in higher dimensions, it is but a page in an endless book. Between each Mythrone is Nihilum, literally just a shapeless blank expanse that separates and connects each layer, like a white canvas.

People call it the Pillar of Creation, described as an endless staircase of reality that gets more transcendent the higher it goes. At the top is the unexplored Fullkominn, above the highest Mythrone. Fullkominn is not bound by any laws. It is the cradle of all stories that then flow down through the Pillars of Creation to the Mythrones below.

Among the countless creatures inhabiting the Cosmarchy, there was a mysterious figure named Thalatte. She claimed to have seen Fullkominn, though few believed her. In her Chronicle of Infinity, she describes a universe so vast that even the word "infinity" doesn't begin to describe it.

"The Supreme," Thalatte wrote, "is too great to describe. It cannot be described with words like omniscient or omnipotent, they are only shadows of the limitations of our minds. The Supreme is beyond calculation, beyond reason, beyond all that can be imagined."

Thalatte reveals how the Mythrones explain some things that we may not know. She analogizes the hierarchy of the Cosmarchy to mathematics, just as there is an infinity of numbers between 0 and 1, but also a greater infinity encompassing all numbers. Similarly, the Mythrones are endlessly layered. If one Mythrone is an infinity named Taeon, then above it is Aethion, a greater infinity that surpasses the first.

If each Mythrone considers the one below it to be just a story, who or what can be called the supreme and only creator? Is God just one of the highest rungs of the Pillar of Creation, or something entirely different, existing beyond the ladder itself?

Thalatte believes God cannot be measured by the Pillar of Creation. She is neither inside nor outside the Cosmos. She is neither the author nor the story, neither the dreamer nor the dream. Even Thalatte's own thoughts, she realized, were plans written before everything else. She saw herself not as a separate entity, but part of God's infinite consciousness given form and purpose.

In her final revelation, Thalatte described the Void, the Nihilum among the Mythrones, as a metaphor for the unity of all things. "The void is not empty," she wrote. "It is the birthplace of all stories, the meeting place of all things. It is the silence that gives birth to ideas and concepts."

For Thalatte, God is not just the creator of the Pillars of Creation, but also its essence. Not a figure to be worshipped or feared, but the fundamental truth that connects everything. Every rung of the ladder, every Mythrone, every thought and word is the harmonious plan of God's infinite nature.

"Behind all the ladders and hierarchies, there is a unity so perfect that it is impossible to comprehend. It is not to be understood, but to be felt and lived. This is God, the infinite in infinity, the eternal in eternity."

By the way, this Thalatte is also one of the trinity, the trinity being God - Thalatte - Traversal Apparatus. It is a complete divinity, existing as a unity in three, existing as that which is above all civilizations and all things.

Actually, beyond all this lies the Axiom, a conceptual realm bridging the finite and infinite. Known as the "boundary of thought," it's a world where anything can emerge in all possibilities, and everything exists in possible forms without contradicting logic, unified into a single boundless existence. In this realm dwells a being known as Kael the Wanderer, renowned as a master strategist with unmatched intelligence through two thousand wars and faith that could never be deceived by demons, who was once human but has transcended through infinite recursive ascension.

Kael's journey takes place starting from the Quantum Void, where mathematical structures form the foundation of all existence. Time is an infinite equation; space, an infinite variety. Each reality, or Stratum, is a solution to the universal equation, governed by axioms derived from the Primordial Logos, the first principle of all things.

Yet Kael still had one question. "What lies behind the Primordial Logos?"

This question was forbidden in his region, as the Logos is the foundation and totality of everything. But Kael was brave and continued to develop. He discovered the Iterative Ascension Theorem, which can trigger an infinite process of self-transcendence. This theorem allows him to recreate his existence in every iteration, pushing him beyond his existing axioms and into a new Stratum layer.

Kael's first breakthrough occurred when he transcended Stratum Omega, a dimension said to represent the sum of all infinite Planes of Existence. Infinity was no longer an abstract concept, it now manifested as tangible structures, appearing in constantly repeating fractals. However, as Kael approaches the edge of this infinity, he finds something that can help him, a skill called "Transcend," which is useful for being above the boundary separating the Logos-driven universe from something infinitely vast.

That layer was both a barrier and a void, a vastness so huge and incalculable that axioms began to collapse like objects approaching a singularity. Kael realized that in order to cross it, he had to free himself from every mathematical constant and logical structure that defined him.

He did so without hesitation.

On the other side of the coin, Kael arrived and found himself in Nullity, a space where Stratum was a game. Every move in this arena was an act of pure creation and destruction governed by the principles of Infinite Logic. The contestants are entities equal to or higher than Kael, each possessing powers derived from contradictions and truths formed by themselves.

Kael faces the Paradox Lord, an entity that embodies the conflict between existence and nothingness. This battle is not a battle of physical strength, but a battle of concepts. The Lord unleashed the Chasm of Contradiction, which is essentially a void where all truths become false, and all falsehoods become true. Kael retaliated with the Space Lord Singularity, a weapon made from the infinite hierarchy described by infinite set theory.

The battle lasted forever-and in an instant. Kael emerged victorious, not by defeating the Lord, but by proving that the contradictions of existence are necessary truths.

Kael's victory opened the way to the World Gate, Gan, a structure said to be above the knowledge of Paradox Lord. The Gate has a "multiplicity" that represents a higher level of infinity, an unknown quantity, so different from before that an timeless journey must be made.

The first was the First Gate, where all dualities, good and evil, light and darkness, merged into an inseparable unity. To ascend, Kael had to separating duality, reconstructing it into a unified theorem of existence. The first use of this gate sent Kael's consciousness back in time, returning him to his childhood body. When young Kael tried again, he immediately felt his position in space-time distortion. However, he had actually freed himself from space and time completely, no longer bound by things like age and location. Once complete, Kael immediately realized he had passed through the First Gate to the previous level, a realm beyond time. He felt that the First Gate was dimensionless and existed beyond time and dimensions known to Earth's inhabitants.

The second floor was the Extended Domain, where every mathematical concept became a living entity. Pi lived alongside prime numbers, while fractals created their infinite iterations within their body. Kael then confronted The Conductor, a being who regulated how mathematics worked across dimensions. The Conductor gave directions and by solving the Equation of All Equations, Kael transcended the Extended Domain and rose further, now experiencing illogical effects where everything appeared dimensionless and unreal, he felt strange symptoms.

At the final gate, Kael found The Ultimate Chasm, a space that was everything and nothing. Then the guardian of this gate, The Chasm One, asked Kael.

"What is the purpose of existence?"

Kael's answer was simple.

"To create meaning where there is none."

With this answer, Kael even transcended The Ultimate Chasm and became The Lord of Jabim, encompassing all space-time and all places and their contents, all infinities, and all possibilities. He grasped All Possibilities and All Space-Time, the total sum of all experiments, truths, and contradictions, holding them in his hand like a book containing stories "he wrote."

Kael, is not human. He was not born of flesh or bound by time. "You think I belong in those stories, don't you?" he said loudly speaking to the invisible reader. "But you're wrong. I have never been them. The moment you see these words, these pieces of me, I'm already outside the scenario. I'm here now. Not a character, just Kael."

Kael felt a presence, a will equal to his own. It was not a place or a being, a truth that existed within and beyond him. IT whispered, not with words: "ΕΓΩ ΕΙΜΙ." IT is the origin, the beginning of all things and where all things end.

IT finally spoke. "You are lucky to have found me," it said. "Had I not been here, had you not stepped beyond your boundaries, we would not be here now."

Kael looked at IT and then asked. "Who are you?" he asked, though he already sensed the answer.

"Εγω ειμι ο ων, παντοτε παρων ενθαδε," IT replied. "And so are you."

For the first time, Kael felt something new, a connection. He was now already outside, merging with the nameless ESSENCE, the Eternal Truth. There was no one else but him now, and he now understood that the Logos was a descending word.

Note:

"Εγω ειμι ο ων, παντοτε παρων ενθαδε" means "I am who I have always been."

"ΕΓΩ ΕΙΜΙ" means "I Am"

And again, they are nothing more than quarks or quantum foam. You may ask, "How big are quarks?"

The answer is as big as the infinite universes or dimensions according to your perception. So the universe here is billions or even trillions of times larger than the infinite universe you think of.
