Beyond the Edge of Reality
Kael drifted through the void beyond existence. There was no up or down, no past or future—only a vast ocean of pure potential.
Time itself ceased to have meaning.
Each step he took rewrote the fundamental truths of the cosmos. Where he walked, new laws were forged. Where he gazed, new realms took form. He was no longer merely a god—he was the essence of creation and destruction intertwined.
And yet, he was not alone.

The Architects of the Forgotten
From the abyss, figures emerged.
They were neither gods nor mortals, neither physical nor ephemeral. They were something beyond comprehension—the architects of all things lost to time.
Their presence was overwhelming, but Kael did not kneel.
"You do not belong here."
Their voices echoed through the very fabric of existence, rippling through realities long forgotten.
Kael's gaze burned with defiance. "And yet, here I stand."
The beings shifted, their formless silhouettes pulsing like living concepts. They had no faces, no true shape, only the endless flow of knowledge given form.
"You seek to rewrite what has always been."
Kael stepped forward, his very will bending the surrounding void. "I seek to become what has never been."
A silence followed. Not hesitation, but acknowledgment.
And then—

The War of Silent Eternity
The void broke.
Reality itself tore apart as the Architects moved. Not with weapons, not with words, but with the very fabric of existence itself. They were the laws of creation, and they sought to unmake him.
Kael laughed.
Not in arrogance.
Not in madness.
But in sheer, unyielding exhilaration.
He raised his hand, and the forces of infinity bent to his will.
The first Architect struck—
A concept beyond understanding lashed toward him, seeking to erase his existence before he had ever been born. Kael's will defied it. He grasped the very notion of erasure and devoured it whole.
The second Architect moved—
A paradox of time and fate wove itself into an unbreakable knot, attempting to bind him within an eternal moment. Kael simply rewrote the moment.
The third Architect hesitated.
Kael turned to them, his eyes burning with a truth they had never conceived.
"You cannot erase what has become the source."
And with that, he ascended.

The Dawn of a New Cosmos
The battle did not last an instant.
The battle did not last an eternity.
For Kael had ceased to be bound by such things.
With a single breath, he unraveled the last remnants of the old laws and wove his own.
The Architects, once the masters of all that was forgotten, became the forgotten.
And Kael—
Kael became the first being to walk where none had ever dared tread.
He did not merely become a god.
He became the beginning of something new.
The Unbound.
