Tsukumojuku

After Andreas's transformation into a narrative entity, the world as it was known has been thrown into turmoil. The entire cosmology has changed, and only a few know the extraordinary journey he undertook. Kai, Andreas's longtime friend, who had always been fascinated by his intelligence and radical ideas, feels that there is something even greater hidden behind the strange events that have occurred since then.

One day, Kai decides to visit Andreas's now-empty house. There, he discovers an extraordinary collection of data—plans and secret notes left behind by Andreas before his disappearance. The notes trace Andreas’s journey through unimaginable cosmologies, towards a point known as Set Zero, a place deemed unreachable by anyone.

However, as Kai delves deeper, he begins to sense that something even greater is awaiting him. The data points towards a new understanding of narrative power and the limitless potential one can achieve by grasping the core of this journey. Armed with the knowledge Andreas left behind, Kai begins his own journey to explore the cosmological traces left behind. but his path will not be easy. Every step brings him closer to an understanding that could change the fate of the world forever.

Beyond the Boundless

After successfully deflecting the giant creature's attack, Kai focused his energy. Using the cosmic power he had learned from Andreas' notes, he unleashed an aura as small as an atom, almost invisible to the naked eye. Within seconds, the colossal being exploded into fragments, as if its body had been destroyed from within by an unfathomable force.

Lyra stood frozen, her eyes wide with a mix of awe and fear. "What... was that?" she asked, her voice trembling.

Kai extinguished his aura, his body returning to its normal form. "Just a small piece of what I've learned," he replied calmly. Stepping closer to Lyra, he locked eyes with her. "You seem familiar with this place. Do you know someone named Andreas?"

At the mention of the name, Lyra's expression shifted. Her faint smile disappeared, replaced by a serious look. "Andreas?" she repeated softly. "Of course, I know. Everyone who dwells near the edges of The Dark Multiverse knows who he is. Or at least... what he left behind."

Kai felt his heart race. "So, he was here?"

Lyra nodded, her gaze drifting to the ruins around them. "He wasn't just here. He's the reason this place still exists. Andreas left his mark in nearly every corner of this multiverse before he... changed."

Kai clenched his fists, memories of Andreas' notes flashing in his mind. "What exactly happened to him?"

Lyra shook her head slowly. "That's something even I can't fully explain. All I know is that he left traces of his power here. Traces that only those strong enough to seek them can touch."

Kai narrowed his eyes, trying to decipher Lyra's cryptic words. "Then why are you here?"

Lyra smirked faintly, but this time her smile was laced with mystery. "Maybe I'm searching for those traces. Just like you."

Kai fell silent. This encounter felt like more than mere coincidence. Andreas, the cosmic entity who was once human, had left something far greater than just notes behind. And now, Kai realized his journey was only just beginning.
