THE BOOK OF SPELLS
PROLOGUE : THE DEATH OF REALITY

The sky shattered like glass. It wasn't an explosion, nor a storm , just silence as the fabric of reality cracked, revealing a swirling abyss beyond. People screamed, but their voices folded into the void, vanishing as if they had never existed.
Professor Elias Voss, the last living quantum sorcerer, stood at the epicenter of the destruction, gripping a book that shouldn’t exist. It was older than time, bound in material neither organic nor metallic, humming with an energy that defied physics.
THE CODEX ARCANUM —THE BOOK OF SPELLS .
It had been lost for millennia, hidden away by a civilization that had long transcended both magic and science. But now, it was awake.
And it was rewriting the universe.
THE CODE IN THE INK
Dr. Aria Solis had spent her life chasing impossibilities. A theoretical physicist specializing in quantum anomalies, she had debunked myths and dismantled superstitions. Until today.
On her lab table lay the impossible: a book whose pages glowed with shifting symbols, rewriting themselves faster than the human eye could process. It had been discovered beneath Antarctica, sealed in an obsidian vault that predated known civilization.
She ran a spectroscopic analysis, only to find the ink contained elements that did not exist on Earth. In fact, some didn’t exist in the known universe.
Then the symbols changed.
And spoke.
"To read is to rewrite."
The words weren’t printed. They were conscious. Watching her. Learning from her.
Her lab lights flickered. The air thickened. Reality itself stuttered, like a glitch in a simulation.
And then the world ended.
THE SPELL THAT WAS A WEAPON
Aria awoke to find herself in the ruins of her lab, but the world outside was… different. Skyscrapers twisted unnaturally. The moon had shattered into floating fragments. The sky pulsed like a living thing.
The book lay open beside her, its pages still glowing. A line of text pulsed in red:
"Your reality has been overwritten. Rebuild it, or be erased."
Panic surged through her. She flipped through the pages, each spell was written in a mix of arcane symbols and advanced quantum algorithms, equations that shouldn’t work… but did.
One page caught her eye: "Reconstruction Protocol: Genesis."
It was a spell. A command. A weapon.
She whispered the words.
The city trembled. Buildings uncollapsed, the sky smoothed into a calm blue, time rewound like a tape, until everything was as it was before.
Except for one thing.
A man stood before her, draped in robes that flickered between fabric and pure light. His eyes burned with knowledge no human should possess.
"You shouldn’t have done that," he said.
THE ARCHITECTS OF CREATION
His name was Voss. Not a man. Not a god. Something… else.
He told her the truth.
The universe wasn’t discovered. It was written. A simulation so advanced, so intricate, that its own inhabitants had long forgotten they were living in a designed construct.
The Book of Spells was the original source code. Not just for magic. Not just for science. But for everything.
And now, it was waking up.
"This book," Voss explained, "doesn’t just grant power. It allows the reader to rewrite existence. But every spell used fractures the stability of reality. You, Dr. Solis, have already altered the code. Now the Architects will come."
The Architects. The true creators of everything. Beings who had long abandoned this version of existence, leaving behind the Codex as a failsafe.
And now, they are returning to erase their mistakes.
Aria’s hands trembled over the pages. She had one chance. A final spell.
Rewrite the universe her way… or be deleted from it.
THE FINAL REWRITE
The sky turned black. Not like night, ike the absence of being. From the void, figures emerged, tall and shifting, their bodies composed of spirals of numbers and symbols.
The Architects had arrived.
"This reality is corrupted," one intoned. "Purge it."
Aria didn’t hesitate. She placed her hand on the book and whispered the final spell.
A counter-command.
A rewrite.
Light erupted from the pages, code rewriting code, magic twisting around logic. The Architects screamed as they glitched, their perfect forms unraveling. They had never expected a mere human to rewrite them.
The universe trembled. Fragments of erased realities returned. Time Reset. The Book of Spells closed.
EPILOGUE : THE NEW WORLD
Aria stood at the dawn of a new age.
She was no longer just a scientist. No longer just human. She was something more.
The last quantum sorcerer. The first true Architect.
The Book of Spells still pulsed in her hands, waiting.
She smiled.
And began to write…
The End.
