I waited.
For years, decades—perhaps eons—I waited.
For destiny to knock on my door.
For the gods to reveal my purpose.
For the universe to acknowledge my existence.
But the universe was silent. Fate had no interest in me. The gods? If they existed, they certainly didn't care.
So I made a decision.
If no grand destiny would come for me, I would write my own.
It started as a whisper in my mind, an impossible idea. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized—what is reality but a story yet to be written? Every moment, every action, every consequence follows a pattern, a script dictated by forces unseen. But what if… what if I held the pen?
And then, the Pen appeared.
Not an ordinary writing tool, but something more. An object beyond mortal comprehension. It shimmered, shifting between states—solid and fluid, tangible and intangible. With a mere thought, words flowed from its tip into the fabric of existence, carving reality itself.
The concepts were as follows:
1. Every universe operates under a fundamental Narrative.
2. A will to write, create, but also destroy.
3. I must be careful. The Multiverse is alive, and it does not appreciate reckless authors.
I tested it first, writing something small. Let there be light. A star ignited in the void before me. A new universe, born from my will.
Then, I grew bolder. Let there be life. And creatures, strange and wonderful, stirred within the cosmos.
But power is intoxicating. The more I wrote, the more I realized—there were others.
Other Writers. Other Architects of Reality. Some benevolent, some malevolent, and some who had long since lost their sanity.
I had not just gained power. I had entered an eternal war of authors, a battle of realities where only the most skilled could carve their mark upon existence.
I am no longer waiting for fate.
I am writing it myself.
And this is where my story begins.
