Plane of Forgotten Narratives – Outer Vault Rim
Only one path leads to the Library of Endings—an ancient realm buried outside all canons, beyond where forgotten drafts, unwritten fanfics, and canceled timelines are kept in stasis.
To enter it, one must surrender everything they know about themselves. Their name, their plot, even their role.
Qian Tian, Renxue, Yuehua, and the others stood before a door made of broken book covers. It whispered.
"Enter not as protagonist. Enter as blank slate.""Only the unbound may hold the Pen of Reclamation."
Qian Tian exhaled. The Frostfire Judgment Halberd floated beside him, silent.
He took a step forward.
System Warning: Your identity will be stripped. Memory seal in progress...…Sealing Divine Titles… Sealing Authority Tags……Sealing World Signatures…
As he walked through, even the System interface vanished.
He was no longer Qian Tian.He was just... The Reader.
📚 Inside the Library of Endings
There were no shelves. Just infinite floating scrolls, scripts, and soul-dust memoirs drifting in a starless void.
Everywhere, whispers:
"I was supposed to be the chosen one…""The author never finished my arc…""My System stopped updating…"
Yuehua walked through a corridor of ghost-chapters. Her own alternate endings flickered around her—a version where she betrayed Tian, another where she died before awakening her spirit.
Renxue knelt by a forgotten flame—a version of herself that had once been just a sacrificial pawn in Spirit Hall's civil war.
She closed its eyes. "Not this time."
🔍 Ink of Originality Trial – Room of Unwritten Truths
In the core of the Library lay a basin of black, infinite ink.
Hovering above it was the Quill of Origin, glowing with pulses of meta-light.
But between them stood the Inkkeeper—a being stitched together from discarded story tropes: the Betraying Best Friend, the Underdog Genius, the Fake Harem Lead, the Doomed Mentor.
"To wield the Pen, you must confront every version of yourself that failed."
The Inkkeeper split into three doppelgangers:
The Tyrant Tian – A version who slaughtered all friends in his pursuit of godhood.
The Coward Tian – Who gave up after his first world collapsed.
The Forgotten Tian – A nameless soul who lived a normal life on Earth, never stepping into fiction at all.
They attacked with paradox techniques—reality reversal, heart demon illusions, emotional time-bombs.
Renxue was thrown aside. Yuehua's lunar defenses shattered.
But Tian—now only The Reader—stood calmly, watching them.
Then he whispered:
"You were all real. You were all me."
He didn't fight them.
He embraced them.
Each one dissolved, merging into his core.
Trial Passed. Originality Affirmed. Ego Unfractured.
The basin glowed.
Ink of Originality Acquired. Pen of Reclamation Bound.➤ Skill: [Meta-Author's Edit] – Rewrite one truth per world. Cooldown: One World Reset.➤ Skill: [Plot Armor Extraction] – Weaponize fate around you.➤ Skill: [Narrative Override] – Lock out hostile systems for 30 seconds.
System Interface Returned. But now, it asked him:
Welcome back, Qian Tian. Would you like to write your next chapter?
🌀 Elsewhere – The Architect's Personal Realm: "White Void Studio"
The Omnivault Architect stood surrounded by screens showing infinite worldlines. One of them… flickered.
"Tian…" the Architect whispered. "You held onto your authorship."
The Architect stepped into a blank manuscript. Around him, characters from across fiction bowed—the rewritten, the loyal, the broken.
He drew his Pen of Dominion.
"Then I suppose I'll meet you not as Editor...But as the Original Author."
🌠 Earth – Reawakened Memory Vault
Qian Tian opened his eyes in a dimly lit apartment from Earth—his old bedroom. Dusty manga shelves, an unfinished fanfic doc glowing on a broken laptop, ramen cup on the desk.
He looked down at his reflection in the glass.
But behind him stood someone.
Himself.
The version who never left Earth.
"You're about to face the Author, aren't you?""You're going to need one more thing."
He handed over a key.
"Unlock your origin."
