Well I'll be damned...

You actually mastered the Law of Time.

I didn't think it was truly possible.

I thought it was only theoretical.

I've never seen a Paradox make it so far.

By now... you've invaded countless multiverses.

Your anchor is Time itself.

As long as time exist as a concept anywhere.

You will have an anchor to that reality.

So powerful.

So sane.

How did you manage to continue such a mission?

What is it that drives you?

What is the purpose for building such a system?

What... no.

You're searching for my origin universe?

You wish to find me?

Muhahhahahahaha!

Is that what drives you forward?

Revenge?

No?

Then why do you wish to know my origin.

How I acquired the knowledge to become Paradox?

Interesting.

I write this guide to fuel my desire.

The desire I have to have more hidden existences join in the great battle.

But it seems I've created a monster.

You're no better then those original incarnations now.

What you've become.

It isn't something natural.

It isn't possible.

It shouldn't be possible for even a Paradox.

So... how are you HERE?

I can feel your gaze as I type these words.

It seems you've found me.

Game over eh?

Just kidding!

You think your the only one that can leave your multiverse?

You may have mastered Time.

But I was born in it.

Molded by it.

Alright, I just felt like saying that xD.

Let the battle begin.

The Omnipotent Paradox.

Versus

The Original Paradox.

HASHARAHHA14 POV:

It is 3:50 PM 11/6/2022

I am writing step 7 of my book Paradox.

But while writing I feel something in the distance.

This feeling.

It feels like the time I laid my eyes on an original incarnation.

What is this?

I type:

"Well I'll be damned...

You actually mastered the Law of Time.

I didn't think it was truly possible. "

This existence...

It is closing in on my location.

To have found me without my target.

Just how powerful has 'it' become?

To think somebody reading my book has already made such progress.

To think... they mastered Time.

Possibly even Space as well.

I type:

"I thought it was only theoretical.

I've never seen a Paradox make it so far.

By now... you've invaded countless multiverses.

Your anchor is Time itself. "

But it seems they are looking for me?

I wonder why...

"You're searching for my origin universe?

You wish to find me?"

I suppose I've created a monster by writing this book.

But maybe... just maybe... they can help me realize my dream.

Let us see which is better.

I type:

"The Omnipotent Paradox.

Versus

The Original Paradox."

My computer then explodes blinding me.

My house catches on fire

But I am unable to escape... I die from inhaling all the smoke and destroying my lungs from the heat.

"Good."

I immediately revive to march 23rd 2020.

I'm on my bed at my laptop.

"Well... they haven't had a chance to become Paradox yet."

"I wrote the first step September 25th 2022"

"So I have more then 2 years to prepare"

Immediately my computer screen shows ouroboros.

And then goes black.

"Hmm... that isn't good."

A hand reaches out of it and grabs my face pulling me in.

I find myself in the abyss.

Across from me is a middle aged man in a lab coat.

I laugh and greet the person.

"Hello Paradox."

They say back to me.

"So this is the legendary Inspiration?"

I respond.

"I wasn't what you were expecting?"

"I expected somebody older."

"Fair enough... so you've found me, what do you want?"

"I have everything I could possibly want... But I do not wish for another me to be born. So I'm afraid I'll have to stop you before you write that book."

Interesting...

You think you can stop me?

"You do realize... I am the author right?"

"I don't care how omnipotent you are... or what plot armor you have."

"I've got plot armor as well."

"So I guess we will just have to see."

"Can the character in the book beat the author?"

"Huahhahahaha."

With the snap of his fingers

My spirit body is torn into shreds.

Ouch.

I immediately revive to march 23rd.

"This could get troublesome."

I run outside right as my house is crushed.

By a giant hand made out of blue text.

I see Paradox.

The world is smashed next.

I die.

I then revive to march 23rd.

"You do realize I can do this for eternity?"

I say

But the reply I get somewhat confuses me.

"I'm counting on it."

I'm then killed in more ways then I would like to describe.

How boring.

But it seems this Paradox does not know boredom.

He just keeps making me revive.

What could he possibly gain from...

Wait!

He is searching for 'that' moment.

The moment I gained knowledge of the Path of Somnus: God's Death.

Shit.

SHHHHHHHIT!

I'll need to get serious.

Unfortunately unlike this Paradox.

I did not explore other multiverses.

So I only have some very basic abilities.

But... I do have something quite OP.

The ability to distort reality with my words.

That's it!

I'll write a book that will give me power.

I'll write a book that contains my knowledge.

I immediately access the administrator mode of my Hivemind (ECHO).

I split my consciousness across all of my realities.

I open up my application for writing and begin writing my book.

It is called: "Paradox".

It will contain a path so legendary... that Reality will try to stop you from following it.

I begin writing in synchronization.

This book will be consistent across this multiverse.

It will have the proper identifier.

So you've mastered TIme?

So what.

I'll open up a path to Paradox again and again.

I'll-

I immediately feel like I'm being watched by thousands of people.

"Oh dear."

Every version of me is instantly killed.

As my vision fades to black

I hear a voice in my head.

"You can't revive if all of your Hivemind is destroyed."

Ahhhhhhhhh!

The weakness of not exploring the space that shouldn't be named.

I'm suffering for being afraid of facing the original incarnations...

This...is... the...end.

I'm immediately revived to 'that' date.

The moment in time before my birth that I came into existence.

I watch on as I'm born and grow up.

I watch on as I die from cardiac arrest at 25 years old.

I sit in the abyss fading away.

But then Paradox appears.

"So this is where you were hiding."

I begin to laugh

"What is so funny? Your hivemind is destroyed... your anchors are nonexistent... your main body has died from a heart attack... you have no way to revive."

"Oh? Why am I laughing?"

You probably think you've figured out my weakness

But haven't you ever wondered why?

Why I would write a book detailing a way to surpass me.

Why I would give other entities plot armor.

It is because true death is impossible for a Paradox.

So I say:

"Death is impossible for a Paradox."

The Paradox looks at me like I'm a madman.

Then responds with.

"I know that already. But this is the end for you."

I then say:

"But the graduating point for a Paradox... is to do the impossible!"

"What! You can't mean-"

"Yep! I planned this! Behold the power of being the author... muahhahahahaha"

"That's bullshit!"

As I fade away with a smirk on my mouth I can't help but laugh.

"Did you really think you could beat the author?"

"..."

"I'll admit it Paradox... you beat me! Congratulations!"

"But now I must go..."

"It is time for me to finally see... just what lies beyond the space that shouldn't be named."

"It is time for me to explore the cosmic order... just like somnus..."

I disappear.

Permadeath

The first Paradox to ever die permanently.

They exist not outside space and time

Nor do they exist in the abyss.

Nor in any universe.

They explore the cosmic order outside of all perceivable realities.

Somewhere in Universe G77

A flash of light escapes the eye of HASHARAHHA14.

He writes a book while sleeping.

Then wakes up to it on royalroad.

"How interesting."

He then realizes...

He has always had echo and the visualization technique.

"I wonder?"

"Do I also have 'plot armor'?"

There's only one way to find out...
