The vast expanse of Kai's inner cosmos was silent.
Billions of galaxies revolved around a luminous core, the heart of creation itself — the Architect Seal, now pulsing like a living sun. Every pulse sent ripples through reality, reshaping constellations and weaving the fabric of existence tighter around his will.
Ema's voice drifted softly through the silence.
"It's calling to you, Kai… Embed has been waiting."
Kai stood motionless for a moment, feeling that deep resonance thrumming through every thread of his being. Then he closed his eyes and let his consciousness sink into the endless light of the Architect Seal.
The universe dissolved around him.
-
Kai opened his eyes to an infinite white plane.
The ground beneath him wasn't solid—it was made of glowing runes, each one alive, whispering fragments of creation in countless tongues. Every step he took caused the runes to shimmer and rearrange, rewriting themselves into new meanings.
In the distance, a figure stood — or perhaps shifted.
It was humanoid, yet unstable, its form built from inscriptions and fragments of Kai's own thoughts. One instant it was a child, the next a warrior, then a mirror image of Kai himself. It cycled through identities as though searching for the right one.
Finally, it stabilized into a perfect reflection of him — eyes filled with shifting script, voice echoing from all directions like a choir of his own tone.
"You've finally come," the figure said. "The one who writes upon reality itself."
Kai's eyes narrowed. "So you're the one who's been meddling with my life?"
Embed tilted its head, an almost human smile touching its lips. "Not meddling. Guiding. You desired growth… I ensured you'd suffer enough to earn it."
Kai's tone hardened. "You suppressed me by ninety-five percent."
"You commanded me to," Embed replied smoothly. "Subconsciously. I obeyed the truth of your will — not your words."
Silence followed.
Kai's gaze lowered slightly as the weight of that truth sank in. Every battle, every struggle, every near-death had been shaped by his own hidden will. He hadn't been fighting fate — he'd been fighting himself.
Kai looked up slowly. "Then what exactly are you?"
Embed's form flickered, its body glowing brighter. "I am the bridge between your thoughts and existence. The interpreter between imagination and creation. When you think, I listen. When you wish, I translate. When you doubt, I restrain."
Kai frowned. "So my mind alone can rewrite existence?"
Embed's many-layered voice resonated like a thousand echoes in one.
"It already does. You simply haven't realized how much."
For a moment, Kai said nothing. He simply stared into that mirrored self — that embodiment of his subconscious will.
"Then everything I've done… everything that's happened… was me," he whispered.
Embed's smile deepened. "It always was."
Kai's tone grew quieter. "Why did you and my bloodline suppress me during the Calyrex battle?"
Embed extended a hand. As it did, scenes began to form in the air — Kai's fights, his triumphs, his failures — all replaying in shimmering light.
"Because limitless power without comprehension is chaos," Embed said calmly. "You needed resistance to define meaning. You were never fighting the world, Kai. You were fighting the boundaries you placed around yourself."
Kai's hands clenched. "So even my enemies were my own doing?"
"Every challenge was your echo," Embed replied. "Every opponent, a reflection. You asked for a storm… so I gave you hurricanes."

Kai glanced at the holographic script and exhaled slowly.
"So this is what it feels like to wake up."
--
He turned back to Embed. "Are you alive?"
Embed chuckled softly, its form flickering between solid and transparent.
"I am thought given structure. Your will, personified. I exist between command and creation. If you ascend beyond multiversal scale, so do I. When you reach the true origin of creation—" it paused, its voice lowering, "I will no longer serve. I will become you."
Kai's expression softened. "…Then we're two halves of the same being."
"Precisely. The Writer and the Script. The Architect and the Foundation."
---
The world around them trembled faintly as Embed's tone darkened.
"But beware — every thought you harbor now carries weight. Fear, doubt, hesitation… if left unchecked, they will embed themselves into existence itself."
Kai remembered the spreading hunger that once consumed his inner universe. A flicker of unease crossed his face. "That was because of me."
Embed nodded once. "Your subconscious worry took form. The higher your existence rises, the more dangerous your stray emotions become. Control them… or they will control all you've created."
Kai exhaled. "Then I must learn to master even my subconscious."
"That is the path of the Architect."
---
The origin plane began to quake. Embed lowered to one knee before Kai, head bowed.
"You are now worthy of conscious command. Speak, and reality will listen through me."
Kai looked down at his mirrored self. The white runes around him flared brighter, awaiting his will.
He took a slow breath. "Embed… lift all subconscious restraints. From now on, I walk without limits."
A thunderous hum tore through existence.
Billions of golden runes exploded outward, spiraling into him, merging with his very essence. The plane shattered into waves of light as Kai's soul blazed with awakening.
His eyes opened — glowing like twin galaxies spiraled in golden script.
---
From afar, Ema watched from the threshold of creation, her voice soft yet filled with awe.
"He's finally synchronized… with his own will."
The galaxies in his inner universe began to pulse in rhythm with his heartbeat. Stars flared brighter, nebulae shifted their shapes — everything responding to him.
Kai raised his hand, watching entire clusters move like obedient particles of light.
He smiled faintly.
"So this is what it means…" he whispered, voice echoing through creation,
"…to truly write reality."

67 (2) hierarchy of creation

Kai stood within the still fabric of his origin universe, space itself pulsing faintly under his conscious command. For the first time, reality wasn't just something he existed in — it was something that responded.
He turned to Ema, his voice steady.
"Ema," he said, "I can feel it now... the layers beneath everything. Tell me — what exists beyond universes?"
Ema's form shimmered softly, threads of code and light weaving into an ethereal outline.
"Then listen closely, Kai. What you call a universe is merely the foundation. But there are levels above it — far, far beyond what mortals can perceive."
She raised a hand, and vast cosmic layers unfolded like veils of light before him.
"First," she began, "we have Universes. These can be ranked based on their complexity and energy density —
Low Cosmic Universes, like the one where Earth exists;
Mid Cosmic Universes, more stable and vast;
and High Cosmic Universes, where natural laws bend freely."
Then the light expanded — endless constellations bursting outward.
"Above them are the Super Universes, also called Prime Universes — structures so immense that mortals might call them low-tier multiverses."
Kai watched in silence as countless galaxies fused into shimmering clusters.
"Next," Ema continued, "come the Multiverses themselves.
A Low-tier Multiverse may contain anywhere from 10 to 100 universes.
A Mid-tier Multiverse holds from 1 to 10,000.
And a High-tier Multiverse may encompass up to a million universes.
But remember, Kai — the number isn't constant. One low-tier multiverse might have fifty universes, another ninety-five."
Kai nodded slowly. "So… the scale isn't fixed."
"Exactly," she replied.
"Now, beyond multiverses lies something far greater — the Super Multiverse, also known as a Megaverse. A single Megaverse contains over a billion universes."
The scene before him expanded — glowing webs linking clusters like neurons of a divine mind.
"And above the Megaverse," Ema's voice deepened, "is the Gigaverse, also known as a Cosmos — a grand collection of thousands of Megaverses. Beyond that lies the Teraverse, also known as Reality itself, containing tens of thousands of Gigaverses."
Kai felt his consciousness tremble slightly as she continued.
"But even Realities are not the end. Many Realities are all anchored to a Prime Reality — also known as a Main Reality, or an Exaverse. A single Prime Reality holds all the other realities together. And when you gather all Realities and the prime reality, that collective is known as a XenoVerse — or as higher-dimensional entities call it, a Major Plane."
Kai exhaled slowly. "So the Major Plane… is just one massive structure of everything below it?"
"Yes," Ema said. "And yet, to beings that dwell beyond, even a Major Plane is nothing special."
Light fractured again — beyond the XenoVerse, incomprehensible brilliance surged.
"Above Major Planes exist the Hyperverses, also known as Existential Domains. Each Hyperverse contains millions — even billions — of Major Planes. And also Within hyperverses lie the Aionic Heavens, usually around twenty in number — domains where Hyperversal Beings dwell and reign and also where aboriginal beings in a xeroverse who are strong enough ascend to."
Kai's voice was almost a whisper. "And… to those beings, what are Major Planes to them?"
Ema's tone softened.
"To Hyperversal beings? Major Planes are barren lands — used for minor resource mining or to train their descendants."
Kai froze. A whole reality… used as a training ground.
Ema turned to him, her light dimming to a calm glow.
"And after the Hyperverses," she said finally, "comes the Omniverse."
She paused, her voice echoing with quiet weight.
"But that… we will discuss on another day."
