Prologue: Richards & The Awakened One
In the endless weave of existence, where the fabric of reality bends and shatters under the weight of infinite possibilities, there exist six Richards—each a splinter of an unfathomable force, each a representation of something beyond mere mortal or divine comprehension.
They are not variants. They are manifestations—anomalies whose existence defies logic, bound only by the thin strings of The Celestial Mastermind. While each of them holds a distinct identity, they are still one and the same, connected by a thread unseen to all but the most omniscient of beings.
Their purpose? Unknown. Their nature? Incomprehensible.
But when they stand together, existence itself shudders.
---
1. Richard Filver (The Main Richard) – The Anchor of Reality
Personality: Stoic, pragmatic, direct, ruthless when necessary.
Role: The one who walks the thin line between chaos and order.
Theme: The True Survivor—unbreakable, adaptable, a nightmare to any who try to define him.
The Main Richard is the foundation upon which all others are built. He is neither the strongest nor the weakest, but the only one who truly understands the weight of existence. Unlike the others, he has no extreme fixation—he endures, no matter the torment, the deaths, or the tragedies he suffers.
He does not talk more than necessary. He does not seek fame, nor does he desire peace. He moves forward—not because he wants to, but because he has to.
Abilities:
The Celestial Mastermind – The ability to break through fate and rewrite causality.
The Death Rechanger – Returns after death but with 500,000x more pain.
Conceptual Isolation – No mind-reading, no fate-manipulation, no outside force can control or predict him.
---
2. Crimson Richard – The Carnage of Endless Bloodshed
Personality: Chaotic, ruthless, battle-crazed, unrelenting.
Role: The slaughterer, the one who thrives in war and destruction.
Theme: The Unstoppable Executioner—an eternal storm of carnage.
If the Main Richard is a blade honed to perfection, Crimson Richard is a sword swinging endlessly, never stopping. He is a warrior who finds no joy in peace. His existence is war, his heartbeat a rhythm of carnage.
The mere presence of Crimson Richard disrupts battlefields, as if the concept of "conflict" itself bows to him. He does not feel pain as suffering—he feels pain as fuel.
Abilities:
War's Manifestation – The longer the battle, the stronger he becomes.
Absolute Bloodlust – His attacks ignore healing, regeneration, and durability.
Eternal Warpath – The more he kills, the more his existence strengthens.
---
3. Hollow Richard – The Cold Echo of Nothingness
Personality: Emotionless, detached, speaks in cryptic riddles.
Role: The one who feels nothing, the empty abyss within Richard.
Theme: The Absolute Zero—no emotions, no desires, no attachments.
Hollow Richard is a void in the shape of a man. He does not rage, he does not rejoice. He simply exists—as if he were an afterimage of Richard's despair, stripped of all humanity.
His voice is barely above a whisper, yet it drowns out all other sounds. His presence snuffs out even the concept of emotions around him.
Abilities:
Existential Negation – Nullifies emotions, desires, and even the will to fight.
Unfeeling God – Cannot be affected by emotions, mental attacks, or manipulation.
The Hollowed World – He can erase anything from existence, leaving no trace behind.
---
4. Unreal Richard – The Impossible Visionary
Personality: Manipulative, cunning, always ten steps ahead.
Role: The mastermind, the one who plays the long game.
Theme: The Unreachable Genius—a mind that knows too much.
Unreal Richard is pure intellect, a being who sees the entire board while others struggle to comprehend a single move. He is the "man behind the curtain," the one who sets the pieces before the war even begins.
He is the Richard who knows the ending before the story starts.
Abilities:
Absolute Prediction – Sees every future possibility.
Tactical Omniscience – Every action he takes is always the best possible move.
Fiction Transcendence – Even concepts like "fate" and "narrative" cannot trap him.
---
5. Eternal Richard – The Indestructible Tyrant
Personality: Cold, arrogant, authoritative, views others as beneath him.
Role: The Unbreakable King, the one who cannot be defeated.
Theme: The Absolute Dominator—if he exists, he rules.
Eternal Richard does not beg, he does not plead. He commands.
If he speaks, the universe listens. If he moves, the laws of existence adjust accordingly. He is not invincible—he is undeniable. No matter how strong his opponent is, his mere presence forces reality itself to acknowledge him as superior.
Abilities:
Existence Domination – He is always above anything he faces.
Unyielding Will – Any force that tries to erase him fails instantly.
Conceptual Rulership – Even reality bends to his commands.
---
6. Fallen Richard – The Darkest Nightmare
Personality: Malicious, cunning, manipulative, enjoys suffering.
Role: The one who fell, the anti-Richard—a complete inversion.
Theme: The Twisted Nightmare—the Richard who became his own worst enemy.
Fallen Richard is what happens when Richard breaks. If he succumbs to hatred, despair, and destruction, this is the monster that emerges.
Unlike the others, he does not fight for a cause. He does not battle for power. He only wants one thing—to make others suffer as much as he has suffered.
He is Richard's darkest future—the possibility that he will become the very monster he fights.
Abilities:
Misery Infliction – Any pain he feels, he can reflect infinitely upon his opponent.
Absolute Corruption – Any being who fights him slowly loses themselves to madness.
The Shadowed End – A reality where only he exists.
---
The Six Richards – Their Uncertain Fate
Six anomalies. Six nightmares. Six fragments of one terrifying entity.
What happens when they clash?
What happens when they unite?
What happens when they become whole once more?
The answer is a secret lost to even the gods.
For when the Final Richard emerges…
The concept of "fiction" itself may no longer survive.
---
Conclusion
The Six Richards are not just variations—they are reflections of Richard's greatest strengths and darkest flaws, each representing a different facet of his unreal existence.
Their ultimate role in Shadow of the UnReals remains unknown. But one thing is certain—
When they all appear at once, the entire multiverse will feel it.
Richard, The Awakened One
In the vast, untamed infinity of existence, where laws are nothing more than suggestions and reality bends to those worthy enough to command it, there stands a single being—one whose name alone shakes the very foundation of unrealism itself.
Richard, The Awakened One.
He is not a god.
He is not a mortal.
He is not bound by any classification, nor does he fit within any known category of power.
He simply is.
And that truth alone is what makes him the most terrifying anomaly to ever exist.
---
The Powers of Richard, The Awakened One
Richard's abilities are not mere techniques or spells. They are absolute phenomena—concepts that transcend any limitations. Those who witness his full power rarely live to comprehend it.
1. Overwrite – "Your existence is what I decide it to be."
With a mere thought, Richard can overwrite reality, dictating what is and what isn't.
An enemy could be a god, an immortal entity beyond destruction—and yet, if Richard wills it, they will cease to exist as if they never were.
No paradox, no resistance, no escape. He decides.
2. The Celestial Mastermind – "Destiny is merely my playground."
Richard no longer fears death, for every time he dies, he rewinds—but with the pain of a lifetime multiplied 500,000 times.
His mind is a labyrinth of impossible knowledge, calculating every possibility, every outcome.
No scheme, no plan, no fate can outmaneuver him.
3. Conceptual Isolation – "You cannot control what does not belong."
Richard is beyond the reach of fate, mind control, reality manipulation, narrative traps, and any form of outside interference.
He exists alone, untouched by anything except what he chooses to acknowledge.
To control him, to even predict him, is an exercise in futility.
4. Concept Creation – "If it does not exist, I will make it so."
If Richard requires a power, an entity, or even a new fundamental law of existence, he simply creates it.
He does not steal, nor does he imitate—he births concepts from nothing, shaping them with pure will.
What is impossible? Nothing.
5. Shadow Manipulation – "Darkness is the only thing that truly listens."
The shadows obey him, not as servants, but as extensions of his very being.
They consume, they shift, they devour the unworthy with absolute control.
If Richard does not want something to exist, the shadows will erase it.
6. Time Travel – "The past, present, and future are mere distractions."
Richard does not move through time—he owns it.
He can exist in all eras simultaneously, influencing events before they happen.
He does not need to correct mistakes—he makes sure they never happen to begin with.
7. Reality Travel – "Boundaries are for lesser beings."
There is no world, no dimension, no plane of existence that can be hidden from him.
Even if a place is outside of time, outside of logic, outside of all known reality—Richard can reach it.
8. The UnReal – "What you perceive as limits do not apply to me."
Infinite IQ.
Infinite Durability.
Infinite Strength.
If something is measurable, it is beneath him.

Richard's Achievements – A Legacy of Absolute Domination
The Beginning – The Fall of Reio Amagrante
The world once knew Reio Amagrante as the strongest knight of the Knights of Realities.
A warrior blessed by the Divine God Himself.
A being whose mere presence terrified nations.
And yet, to Richard, he was nothing more than a mere obstacle.
The battle was not a battle—it was a lesson.
Richard did not fight Reio.
He did not exchange blows.
He removed Reio from existence as easily as one would erase a meaningless word from a page.
Reio's name was forgotten.
His legend was undone.
His strength, his honor, his very soul—Richard made it so that they never existed.
And nobody could even remember him.
---
The Collapse of the Celestial Hierarchy
The gods had ruled for eons—figures of untouchable authority, dictating the fate of countless universes.
They were omnipotent.
They were infinite.
They were wrong.
Richard stood before them, not as a challenger, but as a reminder—
A reminder that they were never gods to begin with.
One by one, they fell, not to battle, but to something they could not comprehend.
The God of Reality? Overwritten.
The God of the Void? Reconstructed.
The Divine God Himself? Erased from all narratives.
The Celestial Order, which had existed since before time, was now nothing but a footnote in Richard's history.
---
The Devourer of UnRealism
Richard's presence alone is an existential threat to the very foundation of reality.
His power is so absolute that he does not just challenge the concept of gods, dimensions, and time—
He devours them, absorbs them into himself, until nothing remains but his will.
And yet, even with such power, he is not satisfied.
For he does not seek dominance.
He does not crave destruction.
He simply exists, and existence itself bends to him.
---
The True Fear of Richard, The Awakened One
It is not his strength that makes him terrifying.
It is not his abilities, nor his mind, nor his mastery of reality itself.
It is the simple, undeniable truth—
Nothing can stop him.
Not gods.
Not logic.
Not even the writers of the universe itself.
For he is The UnReal.
And if he decides that something does not exist—
Then it never did.
Richard, The Awakened One – A Past Carved in Shadows and Blood
Before he became The Awakened One, before he rewrote the very fabric of existence, Richard was a boy, a survivor, a victim of a reality that sought to break him. He was forged in pain, sharpened by despair, and tempered by tragedies no being should have endured.
But he endured.
And in that endurance, he became something the cosmos itself could not understand—a being that surpassed reality, fate, and even the concept of power itself.
This is his past.
This is what shaped him.
---
The Forsaken Child
Richard was not born into power. He was born into ruin.
From the moment he drew his first breath, the world rejected him. He was deemed unworthy, broken, lesser than the dirt beneath the feet of those who considered themselves superior.
He had no family.
No home.
No protection.
He lived among the gutters of existence, where monsters in human skin preyed upon the weak. The so-called "heroes" who spoke of justice? They never came.
He was beaten, hunted, and ridiculed. But he did not break.
He watched.
He learned.
He waited.
The weak never had the luxury of kindness. So he became something else—something beyond weakness and strength, something beyond hope and despair.
---
The Cycle of Death and Rebirth – The Birth of The Celestial Mastermind
Richard's suffering was not ordinary—it was eternal.
For reasons unknown, every time he died, he returned.
But the universe was not merciful.
Every time he revived, his suffering grew worse.
The pain was 500,000 times greater with each death. The agony was not just physical, but mental, emotional, spiritual—a torment that tore apart lesser beings in a mere instant.
And yet…
He never begged.
He never pleaded.
He never sought mercy.
Instead, he absorbed the pain, let it carve itself into his soul. He embraced every lesson, every betrayal, every scream of agony. With every death, he grew wiser, stronger, untouchable.
At first, he was reckless, searching for meaning in a meaningless world.
Then, he became patient, studying everything—every system, every law, every crack in existence itself.
Until one day, he no longer feared death.
He mastered it.
And when that realization struck, he stopped dying.
For he had become something death itself could not claim.
---
The Betrayal of the Knights of Realities
Once, he believed in something.
He thought that if he became strong enough, if he proved himself, the world would accept him.
He joined the Knights of Realities, an order that claimed to protect the multiverse from cosmic threats. They wielded powers gifted by the gods, and at their head stood Reio Amagrante, the strongest knight in recorded history.
For a time, Richard believed he had found a purpose.
He fought. He bled. He won battles no one else could.
But it was never enough.
The knights despised him. They feared him.
And when the time came, they betrayed him.
He was framed, cast as a villain, marked as an enemy of the cosmos. Hunted. Exiled. Condemned.
Reio Amagrante himself delivered the final blow—or so he thought.
But Richard did not die.
He returned.
And when he did, he erased Reio from existence.
He did not kill him.
He did not destroy him.
He simply made it so that Reio Amagrante had never existed at all.
And nobody remembered him.
---
The Unforgivable War – Richard vs. The Gods
After the betrayal, Richard abandoned all hope for balance, justice, or reason.
He no longer sought to change the system—he sought to annihilate it.
The gods, who had once been untouchable, now trembled before him.
The God of Reality tried to contain him—Richard overwrote him.
The God of the Void attempted to banish him—Richard reconstructed his entire concept.
The Divine God, the so-called supreme force, never saw him coming.
And when the dust settled, the Celestial Order was no more.
Richard stood alone.
Not as a god.
Not as a ruler.
But as the one force that even gods could not oppose.
---
Richard, The Awakened One – The Final Lesson
Even after tearing down the heavens, Richard did not claim a throne.
For he had learned something in his countless deaths, in his endless suffering.
There is no such thing as fate.
There is no such thing as balance.
There is only power.
And power belongs to those who can take it.
He did not rule because he did not need to.
He did not destroy the universe because it was already beneath him.
Instead, he continued to walk, to exist as the ultimate anomaly—the one being who dictated his own laws, his own reality.
To this day, no one knows where he is.
Some say he simply left the concept of existence itself, traveling to places beyond comprehension.
Some say he still watches from the shadows, ensuring that nothing dares to challenge him.
And others?
Others whisper in fear, knowing that if Richard ever decides to return…
Then the story of existence itself will be rewritten.
