After Kael Veyris awakened Transcendent Narrative Evolution, the balance of all stories began to shift.
Even the True Creators were silent.
Because something older than them had started to move.Beyond the Absolute Horizon…
Where even creators rarely look…
A ripple moved through the endless white sea of narrative potential.
Then—
A figure appeared.
Not a god.
Not a writer.
Not a character.
Just a simple being sitting on a chair, reading a book.
The book was the entire multiverse.
This was the First Reader.
The one who originally imagined stories before authors ever wrote them.
When the First Reader turned a page…
Entire universes rewrote themselves.
When they paused…
Time across billions of realities slowed.
They looked up.
And smiled slightly.
So… a character learned how to leave his story.
Across the infinite narrative layers…
Their gaze landed on Kael Veyris.At the top of the narrative stack…
Beyond the Library of Infinite Stories…
Beyond the Creator Realm…
Kael stepped somewhere new.
It looked… strange.
There were no galaxies.
No magic.
Just desks.
Computers.
Coffee cups.
Stacks of paper.
Humans were sitting there writing.
These were Authors.
Real ones.
Each author was writing a different universe.
Some were writing fantasy.
Some science fiction.
Some tragedies.
One author suddenly froze when Kael appeared beside their desk.
They whispered in shock.
Wait… you're not supposed to be here.
Kael calmly looked at the screen.
On it was a story about a powerful cosmic emperor.
Kael tilted his head.
You wrote this world.
The author slowly nodded.
Kael wasn't angry.
He simply observed.
For the first time in existence…
A fictional character had walked into the author's reality.
Another author nearby whispered to their friend.
Did… our character just break the narrative wall.
Kael simply smiled.
Relax.
I'm only visiting.
Meanwhile...
In the experimental universe created by Sun Wukong…
Chaos had reached unbelievable levels.
Because anyone could become the protagonist.
Within only a short time:
a rabbit became a sword saint
a fisherman became a cosmic cultivator
a former villain became a universal hero
But something unexpected happened.
All those protagonists began clashing with each other.
Their growth accelerated faster and faster.
Energy across the universe exploded exponentially.
Wukong sat on a floating cloud watching it all.
Laughing.
HAHAHA this is the best story ever.
But then…
Something appeared in the center of the universe.
A being born from every protagonist's narrative energy combined.
A singular entity created from thousands of hero destinies.
The sky split open as the being stepped forward.
Its aura surpassed gods.
Even Wukong stopped laughing.
He stared.
Then grinned.
Oh.
Now that's interesting.
Because Wukong realized something.
The being that just appeared…
Might become the strongest protagonist ever created.Back in the Empire outside stories…
Dragons, gods, and outer beings felt Kael's power growing again.
Not through destruction.
But through understanding.
Kael had now seen:
1. the inside of his DNA containing universes
2.the structure of narrative reality
3.the realm of authors
4. the Absolute Horizon
5. the First Reader
Very few beings in existence had knowledge like this.
Even the True Creators spoke quietly.
He is evolving faster than the multiverse itself. Back beyond the Horizon…
The First Reader closed their book.
They whispered to themselves.
The story has become… unpredictable.
Which made them smile.
Because that was the purpose of stories.
Then they said something mysterious.
Soon… we will meet properly, Kael Veyris.
