As the blinding light swallowed me whole, my consciousness unraveled like sand through my trembling fingers. In that moment of utter dissolution, the boundaries between existence and oblivion blurred. I sensed nothing but an overwhelming emptiness—a void that stretched infinitely in all directions, a blank canvas awaiting its first, fateful stroke.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMkz6FmLwL
When I came to, or rather, when I awoke in this strange limbo, I found myself standing in a vast expanse of nothingness. It was a realm neither defined by darkness nor illuminated by light. Instead, it was an endless plain of quiet potential—a silent witness to the birth of something entirely new.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqbNsFgSKL
Before me, as if suspended in the ether, floated three orbs of swirling light. Each orb radiated a distinct hue—one shone with the cool, steady glimmer of blue; another burned with a fierce, passionate red; and the third pulsed with a gentle, luminescent green. They moved in a deliberate, hypnotic dance around a single, imposing object: a book, shaped with uncanny precision and pulsating as though it harbored a life of its own.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFOwhGm5PF
Drawn by a force I could neither understand nor resist, I extended my hand. For a fleeting heartbeat, uncertainty held me back—yet curiosity, insatiable and raw, overpowered caution. The moment my fingertips grazed the book's cover, a torrent of unfathomable knowledge burst into my mind. The information, sharp and overwhelming, seared itself into every fiber of my being until my head throbbed with the weight of revelations.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDxUxs53WA
A series of cryptic inscriptions and symbols unfolded before my inner eye:17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp0JrGRAss
[ Codex of Creation ]Known also as the God's Handbook. A unique artifact that grants the bearer the power to inscribe stories, forge imprints, and alter fate itself.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHyaDw15gI
My heartbeat thundered in my ears, a frantic drum against the silence of the void. Cold sweat dripped down my spine as the Codex's pulse synced with my own. The revelation left me breathless—a sacred text delivered at the very moment I teetered on the brink of death. Yet, there was no time for idle wonder. The three orbs, now drawn inexorably toward the Codex, converged and merged into its very essence. The book's surface shivered as new words began to etch themselves into its ancient pages, as if ink materializing on pristine parchment from some unseen quill.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO7gbBiIrk
With trembling anticipation, I opened the Codex. The text appeared in a solemn, otherworldly script that seemed to resonate with the pulse of the cosmos:17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe5JbQ5tm6

Questions swirled in my mind—dense and multifaceted, like an incantation half-remembered. Before I could even begin to process these new revelations, a voice emerged—a voice so calm and devoid of human warmth that it seemed to echo from deep within my soul.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy0NEzkM3H
The voice that answered was neither male nor female, a chorus of whispers and static.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv0rIKqZZA
[Designation: Codex Spirit. Primary function: To serve. Secondary function: To survive.] 17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38nCAwmDYK
[Query: Do you wish to rename this unit?]17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrf93tkW1U
I stiffened, scanning the featureless void for any sign of another presence. Yet there was nothing but that disembodied voice—a spectral sound resonating as if born from the very core of my being.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqp2rSBKUm
"…You can speak?" I managed, my voice tentative, the uncertainty in my heart laid bare.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqoKoWduS6
[ I can. Fear not—I am bound to you. Your death is my death. Trust must be earned, but I ask you to grant me that chance. ]17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHhpNFTDhb
Kael blinked. "You sound like a machine."17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtATSR71TS7
[Correction: I am a guide. But a name…] For the first time, her voice wavered, almost wistful. 17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ3eLIuiy9
[A name would make me more.]17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbqjREF5Vq
Something in that measured cadence, so oddly sincere, eased the tension that gripped me. My shoulders relaxed ever so slightly, and I dared to press on.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaGJoYVsVD
[ Would you care to name me, Host? ]17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxW03qvXbr
The request struck me like a spark in the darkness. Name it? I closed my eyes in contemplation as the silence stretched. Then, with a clarity that seemed fated, a name surfaced in the depths of my mind.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMuk5mY9s4
"Elia. I'll call you Elia."17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoFxxEEmr2
[ Elia… Thank you, Host. I shall bear this name with pride and serve you to the utmost of my ability. ]17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkPo3Dl2O9
The voice softened further, as if warmed by the familiarity of a name finally given. A small smile tugged at the corners of my lips—a rare moment of solace amid the storm of revelations.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY8aFnmLhp
Gathering courage, I inquired, "Since you've alowed me to question, can you tell me—what exactly is an Arcanna? And how did I come to possess these three that you mentioned?"17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8ScqRNgyG
Elia paused, as though the weight of the question demanded careful thought.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WpKfy93nk
[Arcanna are not mere powers—they are covenants,] Elia said, as the Codex flickered to a page titled Arcanna. [To awaken one, you must become its myth. The Earth Will demands sacrifice. The Sun Will demands ambition. The Moon Will demands secrets] she finished with with much tension.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IiuEjd4m2
Each word sank into me like a slow, inexorable tide. The nature of my destiny was shifting in ways I had never imagined.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrLYdPvtTh
"And what about these beings—Earth Will, Sun Will, Moon Will? Who or what are they? And what does it mean when it speaks of 'The First Story'?"17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZF0JYxNgE
[ Regrettably, I possess no further data on these entities—their nature may well transcend my current authority. As for 'The First Story'… it signifies that you are unbound by fate. No fate thread ties you to a preordained destiny. You must, therefore, carve your path through the crucible of experience. ]17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkqnPo1syb
Her tone turned grave, the gravity of fate unmistakable in every syllable.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fV1BmlsQA
[ If I may offer counsel, Host, consider veiling the truth of your Codex. Refer to it as a Codex of Myths instead of the Codex of Creation. I have also used the bit of my authority to influence the awakening ceremony for it to show a Codex of Myths identification. For your imprint, you can tell them what it is since it is your personal information and no one would ask about that. This subtle renaming may help deflect dangerous attention, and attract the interest of powerful factions—like the Tower de Sanctum—that might protect you and your future progeny. ]17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xG3Rye3cb
Her advice, so laced with caution and wisdom, resonated deeply. I nodded slowly, absorbing the profound implications of her words.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUKRNicCck
"…Thank you, Elia. Your guidance is more valuable than you know."17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTpa8NiRNw
[ It is my eternal purpose to serve you, Host. ]17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSGaHY5Fbe
Before I could pose any further inquiries, a sudden, invisible force yanked at my very essence—a vacuum that distorted the space around me. The void trembled and the void fractured like glass, and I fell—but sideways, reality's scream clawing at my ears. My hands burned with phantom starlight.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAB4hoOlJs
I closed my eyes, surrendering to the inexorable tide of transformation, knowing that the secrets of the Codex, the dormant Arcanna, and the fact that the fate of me shall be opened to me in the future.
