Volume 10 – Chapter 20: "The Blank World and the Infinite Counter-Force"
Silence again. But this time, it wasn't peace it was expectation.
Erevan stood above his newest creation the infinite lattice of universes he had authored into existence. But among their endless light and motion, he sensed something wrong.
A space that wasn't space.
A realm without words, sound, or meaning.
A blank world.
He stepped forward and the multiverses trembled as he entered the nothingness.
The Blank World
There was no color.
No time.
No narrative.
It was pure, absolute nothing not even void.
Here, Erevan's every breath echoed as the only form of existence.
> "A world beyond imagination," he murmured. "Even I didn't write this."
He reached into the emptiness, trying to shape it and for the first time in eternity, his power did nothing.
Then a voice came, smooth and infinite:
> "Because this is where I write you."
The Return of the Counter-Force
From the blankness, countless golden eyes opened reflections of every universe, every life, every version of Erevan that had ever existed.
All fused into one being.
The Infinite Counter-Force.
> "You built your empire by rewriting creation," it said.
"But every time you changed the story, I evolved to balance it. You became the Author… I became the Blank Page."
Erevan's aura ignited black lightning and golden fire roaring through the void.
> "Then it's time the page learns who holds the pen."
His New Awakened Abilities
As they faced each other in this unformed reality, Erevan's power evolved again reaching realms even he hadn't conceived.
Boundless Omni-Manipulations
Blank Concept Domination: Allows him to control nothingness itself giving form and rule to things that have no definition.
Paradox Creation: Create contradictions that erase logical or narrative limits.
True Narrative Embodiment: Erevan no longer writes the story he is the living will of every possible narrative.
Transfictional Awareness: Can perceive and interact with all fictional layers even the real world beyond his universe.
Omni-Sovereign Manipulation: Total command over every form of energy, matter, concept, and narrative law across infinite metaverses.
Beyond-Reader Ascension: His existence becomes unreadable the human mind cannot fully perceive him without being rewritten.
The Counter-Force lunged. Creation and blankness collided two infinities trying to overwrite one another.
The sound wasn't thunder; it was rewriting itself.
Worlds collapsed into white, then were reborn as gold.
Erevan whispered:
> "No story ends while I exist."
He stepped through the blast of annihilation, unscathed.
The Counter-Force disintegrated, rewriting itself over and over in vain.
Erevan's hand rose one last time and reality obeyed.
> "You were my balance. My reflection. But now…"
"You're just another sentence."
He snapped his fingers.
The blank world filled with color, life, and infinite stories all under his will.
When the light faded, Erevan stood at the center of an infinite sky, surrounded by universes orbiting him like constellations in awe.
> "There are no blank pages anymore," he said softly.
"Only me and what I choose to write next."
