Null System

Zeropa
William Zeta, a young university student trapped in the routine of a predictable life, sees his existence cut short in an absurd instant: a street accident tears him away from the world he knows. But death is not an end, but a turning point. In the limbo between flesh and spirit, his consciousness fragments, dissolves, transforms... until he awakens in the body of an unknown child, in a reality where magic and memory intertwine like invisible roots. Now called Xahir Quenn, William awakens in a library steeped in mystery and indecipherable symbols. Two children, Kael Barrón and Saul Contreras, call him by a name he does not recognise but which, somehow, belongs to him. The past of his new body bursts into his mind like a storm, while his thoughts waver between disbelief and a silent certainty: he has been reincarnated in another world. Amidst dusty books and whispers from the soul, he begins to understand that this reality is not just an escapist fantasy worthy of the anime he used to watch. It is a second chance. A scenario where existence is restarted... but under rules that are still unknown. In this new cycle, William—or Xahir—does not seek to return. He seeks to awaken. Escaping his ordinary life is not his only desire: now he wants to discover what it means to be, when name and body cease to be limits, and the soul begins to ask questions.

Gods of Pangaeos

In the mist before GENESIS, Fate and Chance and Others cast tolls upon their names, while the chalice did burn and churn whose crown should be. And he that won strode through the mist unto YOD-VAV-HEH and cried: “Lo, wake upon the mist and create the heavens and the earth and make gods for me, for I have won over the crown and thy mist is mine to rule.” And so as the cry was heard Fate and Chance and Others bowed, But whether it was Fate or Chance or Another that won the cast of the tolls before GENESIS—none-knoweth. .............................................................. Welcome to Gods of Pangaeos. ​This work is a reimagining of the creation myth, written as a stylistic marriage between the liturgical structure of Genesis and the high-fantasy, rhythmic prose of Lord Dunsany’s The Gods of Pegāna. ​In this world, the Creator is a sleeper, and the world we know is merely a "Game" played by smaller, whimsical deities during His slumber. You will find echoes of our own earth’s deep past—Pangaea, Panthalassa, and Gondwana—woven into a tapestry of myth and "The Word." ​A Note on Style: The text uses archaic phrasing and repetitive structures to mimic ancient holy books. If the gods seem cruel or indifferent, remember: to them, we are but the pieces on a board. ​I hope you enjoy the "Game." ​Art Disclaimer ​Cover Illustration: "MANA-YOOD-SUSHAI" by Sidney Sime (1906). ​ ​Note on the Artwork: The illustration used for this cover is a masterpiece by Sidney Sime, originally created for Lord Dunsany’s The Gods of Pegāna. As this artwork was published over 100 years ago, it resides in the Public Domain. ​While the image originally depicted the deity Mana-Yood-Sushai, it has been chosen for this work to represent the Great Stillness of YOD-VAV-HEH. I use this art as a tribute to the golden age of mythic illustration that inspired the tone of Gods of Pangaeos.
