Strings of Void

Summary:

Void is everything, Yet also nothing. it's a concept that people won't understand, because it wasn't supposed to be understood.

It's just exist.

Yet here 'We' are, The wandering people from the Voids who lived our lives to the fullest.

Notes:

Hello this is my Original work, I wrote this while taking inspiring on many things i read! Mostly Lord of the Mysteries, because i somehow stuck with that Novel. I die for it.

Anyway you could say it has some H.P Lovecraft elements in it but not really.. It's not horror...i guess? also this has different pov's and the first person is only brief for the importance of the lore.

English isn't my first language! and i write it for fun! Pardon my mistakes there are a lot, Including being an author.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: Awaken

Chapter Text

"The universe is vast and beyond our understanding, some people believe that universe is in form of a bubble in one of many other universe bubble. 

Some also believe that there is only one universe where they lived, well.. i can't say they will be wrong to think like that. 

even if they found another universe they can't travel between them without entering the void."


 

Day goes normal as it was going to school having stressed by them go home and playing with my phone until my stomach grumbling and eat then i go to sleep. it keeps repeating, and it's so peaceful. 

 

"Finally i can sleep all day!" I stretch out my body and lay down on the soft bed, the feeling of warm from the blanket coldness from the Air conditioner gloomy room but the sun peeking in between the curtain of the window making everything so perfect! i closed my eyes and felt all the tired in my body envelope and slowly i fell asleep. 

 

A girl covered in blanket slowly open her eyes as she stared at the window that is closed by the curtain She slowly sit up from the bed and stretch her body, She then stood up to walk into the window she mumbled "It's Already night?" As she slowly opens the curtain an unfamiliar sight in front of her startled her. 

 

The window showed a beautiful scenery of a galaxy moving slowly, a weird sound coming from them, not far from it there is a nebula full of stars and beautiful colors as she stared at the scenery she try to not panicked. 

"What should i do? is this a dream??" She slowly step backwards and fall from the bed,  sitting down on the floor in silent to handle the shock, "This... it should be a dream right?" She can't utter a word for a long time... 

after she regain her composer she stood up once more and stare at the window scenery outside, "Still the same.." She mumbled. then reach out her hand to the window and attempt to open it. 

 

....

 

she looks around. 

 

scared. That's what she felt. because..the void surrounded her replacing what once was her room is now only void. 

 

there is nothing except the void. 

 

She tried to look up and down and all she found is void she tries to walk but it feels as if she did not move, she felt as if there is a floor beneath her anx she attempt to reach the floor. 

 

her hand touched the 'Floor'... it doesn't exist.

 

the floor doesn't exist. 

 

but she still crouching there reaching out her hand to the void, there is nothing.

 

Her breath started to become faster following her heartbeat, she started to run run and run. keep running. she looks around only void. anxiety started attacking her "Why? what happened? is there anyone? anything?" She let out a heavy breath she keeps running. 

 

 

 

 

it was a long time since she started to run, she slowly calm down but the fear still attacking her she hug herself attempting to sooth her own fear. "There is nothing... i don't feel tired? what is this place.. what...." Word for word keeps coming out of ger mouth she then felt her consciousness dissipate as she felt her body fall slowly to the void. 

 

 

Her eyes open showing a black obsidian in the void seems so bright, the ceiling of void welcome her as she wakes up but this time she saw a string...

stood up and try to look closely to the string that regenerate light.., she trips over and fell onto the void. she noticed in the other side was the same string full of light and different color, she follow the strings one by one closer, closer and closer. she doesn't now how long has she run it felt like an eternity she then finally noticed the string slowly seems to be gather in one place tied up together, She fastened her running speed finally reaching the place where all the string with different color and brightness tied up together. it was beautiful in this Void to finally see something so ethereal... 

 

but there is something weird with it, a place where there should be the strings being tied up together didn't exist.. or like it's connect to the void as she try to reach it she touch it but to no avail, it was the same thing like the floor the has tried to touch. 

 

 

Then she turn her head from right to left scanning her surroundings, the place seems more lively as the strings from wherever they are let out a bright color illuminating her body but not the place. 

 

But then she casted her gaze where she previously were, and saw a door. the door look magnificent with look of mahogany color and golden engravings on it. She run hurriedly to the door, the handle seems to be made with gold as she turn it open, slowly revealing a room with flying books and paper scatter around as if trying to find they're place. 

 

she stared in awe as she leave the void behind, this place made her anxiety wash off from her body she casted her gaze at a specific book placed in the middle of the place she walk down the stair as she reach out to touch the book. 

 

the book cover is colored dark blue there is nothing special on it it's just look like a notebook, as she then opens it to see a handwriting on it it spelled 'Welcome' 

 

startled she looks around confirming that no one is here.. well close to her, she then look at the book again to see the handwriting continue to write on its self she felt her breath ragged this made her felt uncomfortable. 

as the writting goes 'I am Author, welcome to the Library of void I'm sure you confused, scared and angry by how you are pulled with in here.' the paper turn on its own and the handwriting continue 'I will explain everything to you do ask anything' She stops and think 'How should i communicate with a handwriting?' She stare for a full minute looks around to find maybe a pen or pencil but to no avail, but then the handwriting start again 'You can just stated you question you don't need to write here.' as she read the writting she took a deep breath slowly trying to relax the sound of a papsr flattering around, books being placed make her at peacefull she then spoke "Where am i?" the handwriting wrote on its own "Libray of The void, a Library that contains a full information in all Universe including each places, galaxy, planets, people, animals, anomaly and others, this Library located on the 'Void Realm' the place outside the door. 

 

"You should have seen the countless strings of light, that is a universe, in each strings contain a whole universe and each color represents it level of danger or the level of entity that reside on it." The writing stop for a minute and then continued "Void realm is a place where all the universe connected, i suspect you have seen the strings end right? it was filled with void to represent the void realm, it is a knot that connects to all Universe." as the information seems to be unbelievable she can't denied it, if the information is fake then why the hell it exist?

 

after regaining the information she once again open her mouth to ask "Why am i in the Library of void or The void realm in the first place?" The writing start replying jolting down letter that appears mysteriouly on the paper "You have been chosen to weild the power of a traveller, you can enter the void realm, You can travel between universe, You witness the universe creation, You are controlling each of them like a puppet strings." phrases between phrases contain a information that makes anything in disbelief 'Such power exist?' She startled.. Scared, took a step back thinking to avoid the mysterious book and run away. 

Before she can take another step the writting in the book Floating letter by letter causing an illusion of letter filled the room, this made her scared and fall into her feat as she try to crouch away. 

 

but she can't, Letter by Letter forming in front of her light coming out of it "You can't escape." She almost scream at this words but before she can, another word formed "This power has given to you so you must take the responsibility." Another word form "The power that controls the Universe." "Power to change the future." "Power to control time and space." "Power that's allows you to become an omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent."

 

"Welcome, 'Void'."

 

 


 

She try to ease her breath as she stared at those word making her more scared then before, she thinks on how she will be all alone in the void, to be the Omniscient one, To be the omnipresent one, To be... the omnipotent one. 

The thing that has scared her most is To be alone in the void

 

She try to scramble away but the place suddenly change she saw the strings of light once more and hurriedly stood up, she felt her body being forced to walk towards the middle of the strings, She try to walk to the opposite site but to no avail. 

she could only stared at how her body walks to the strings and reach out hand to touch the void that connects all of it, When she touch it this time the void seems to be in some form as something errupt on her brain.

'91873920183763616362618191029393837372728.............' the number keeps continue at the same time another information also entering her brain 'Civilization............. world 4736th........ Catesreing.......... Space....... stars.....' each word by word forming in her brain containing a meaning of each word and things with another information started to enter her brain again it's information filled with every entity, every creature, every life form that exist in all Universe, as the information goes by.. the number didn't stop.

it continues.. Endlessly.

"678193736192017372619200000000.........." after she stood up there motionless for.... seems like eternity she finally regain her conciusness she blinks her eyes as she felt her head seems like about to explode with an endless information. 

 

but it stop. 

 

"it's stop?"

 

She looks again to a void that form in her hands and brings it close to her body the strings also follow making a way for her body to get close to the void that knots them together, She stared for a second and then close her palm around it as she takes a deep breath she close her eyes and with that she Disappears.

 

I am a starts that roam around in a galaxy. 

 

I am a nebula who just being created. 

 

I am a planet who circle around a star. 

 

i am a piece of rock that float in the space. 

 

I am a dragon in space. 

 

i am a form of water on a planet. 

 

i am a Land. 

 

A tree. 

 

A flower. 

 

A cloud. 

 

A dust. 

 

A smoke. 

 

A human.

 

A animal.

 

A void. 

 

A space.. 

 

 

 

A figure took form again in the dark void she let out a breath "This is omnipresent...." she shuddered in fear 'i can see everything, hear anything, in all way it's like seeing everything with two eyes...' She back down and puts the void of knot that connects the string back.

she stood there trying to piece each information she received including The Traveller power, Her identity, Her existence, Universe existence, Void realm existence. 

and the one who created it, "Author." 

She sigh as she try to connects everything "Everything, anything, happens all at once." she looks to her side to see a strings slowly took form and knotted on the void it shine bright full of stars and colors, She stared at it for a while and takes a deep breath and let it out. 

 

"A new universe...," She stared at it at let out another sigh muttering self-deprictedly. "space and Time.... Tick tock tick tock... And... entity." she frown as the strings slowly changed color to a transparent one, "Entity....?" She seems to be deliberating things as she step closer and put her hands on it. 

No words coming out of her, Silent and emotionless she step away and pulled away her hand and walk to anothee strings. String by string she passes seems to make a way for her she mutter "That means My home..." she stared at a pure white strings she then without hesitation pulled it and close her eyes as she took a deep breath her figure slowly covered by a pure white light and then she stood still motionless for a long long time.

 

 


 

 

 

Releasing the white string she clasped her hand behind her back, She look around to see the countless strings in the Void. Walking around Her body goes through the strings like an ethereal. being... in those countless little strings she walk pass through...

 

Inside the Black strings.., An Intercelestial Entity look up at the empty Cosmos There's a shadow of a woman with Long hair looking down at it despite the deep Void dark..

 

Inside the Yellow stings.., A Young boy puts down his Telescope staring at the starry space in daze.. he mumbled out "What was that...?"

 

Inside the white strings.., People gathered looking at the sky and start singing praises.. the Heaven look up towards the Passing eye simply done nothing to stop anything even the people.

 

Inside the Red strings.. A broadcast echoed through different galaxies as it announced a Phenomenon that just happened a few years ago..., "There are many witnesses said they saw an eye at the space, People from the Intropetia Galaxy had mostly proved it's existence by some of the pictures that has spread through the universe!" The News anchor announced.

...

She entered the Library again, Looking down at the book that was placed in the middle of the room. She saw the book start writing something by itself again "Welcome, Selyn."

 

...Selyn, devoid of any emotion closed her eyes and recalled the knowledge she gained.. "The writers, How funny Author." 'The Writers' that's the book name. "A book that written anyone destiny." Selyn reach out her hand and motioned her hand as the book slowly closed.
