Chapter Fifty One: Meeting Abyss
Countless stars dotted the boundless space, twinkling radiantly. They were light years afar—maybe millions, billions or trillions—clustered up in their galaxies. There were singularities in space, areas of infinite matters which resulted in the creation of black holes.Cassio saw all this and was fascinated. He could see infinite types of particles dancing around him. He could see the particles all swirling around, creating the very structures of matters and energies."And this is what I call boundlessness," Cassio smiled wildly and then dissolved into a laughter.He was still soaring in outer space when he saw a figure cladded in white seated several metres from him. This figure was bathed in mysterious auras, making it hard for him to see through. He could see that the figure was crossing its legs as if meditating. For an unknown reason, he couldn't see the figure's appearance.At that moment, the figure stretched out its right hand towards Cassio. Its movement was calm and slow but

Chapter Fifty Two: A Chat With the Writer
Many things in this world are exaggerated because they haven't been comprehended. People are afraid of what they do not know and what they cannot understand. Their knowledge are feeble like the feet of a young toddler, shaky and unstable. When one comprehends the truth behind most things of this world, they would be seen as what they are—weak. The world seems as it is to the feeble perception of people, interpreted as they perceive it.Cassio stood in the boundless space, pondering over all he heard from the Artificial Abyss and what he had seen of the solar system. He wondered how mysterious the world was and how boundless it spread like draperies across lines. The planets have never been spherical as people saw it. What they saw was an illusion as they had not seen the truth of the world. He was able to see irregular shapes of the planets because he saw the truth of the world—the truth that planets were grotesque, without shapes or description.Who is this Omnipotent Dharma that set

Chapter Fifty Three: All But a Dream
Mysteries are endless, going on till infinity. To know what mysteries truly are—to reach them, one must go on a voyage of mysteries—of infinity. When one has ascended beyond mysteries, there is nothing left to ascend beyond again except oneself.Cassio floated through the infinite space, not knowing where to go or where he came from. But then, he knew he was somewhere infinitely far away from world he called home—infinitely beyond the Archverse even.He kept on pondering on Teraph's words, assimilating them. Everything was a piece of fiction—a collective imagination of the Conceptuals. Everything was nothing but words in a book. The more he thought about it, the more he felt he didn't belong to this fictional world. But then, he couldn't bring himself to give up all he had known—all he had lived through. He couldn't bring himself to forsake his former and present life, taking up the status of a Sefirah. He couldn't bring himself to be perfect, existing beyond fiction and representing

Chapter Fifty Four: Normalcy
Who or what truly is a Sefirah? Who truly is a Godfather? These are the questions I ask myself anytime I find myself moving through stories, doing deeds that please the readers. These questions shouldn't bother only me but the readers as well as I have found the answer for them all. It's just that...just that I find it hard to accept. It's difficult to accept them all.A Sefirah is any being chosen to represent a particular Godfather, bearing an attribute of that Godfather. Sefirot serve as vessels and spokespeople for Godfathers, carrying their essences and wills.Hehe, simple huh? Well, in course of my travelling across Surreal Halls and fending off Eidolons[1] by myself, I've understood a great deal about myself but I'm not willing to accept this. At least not yet! Sefirot are not just representatives! That was a lie told by the Godfathers or They had no reason to tell us the truth and fed us what we needed to hear. A Sefirah is actually the physical...Well, I'll save this answer s

Chapter Fifty Five: Blockhead Ethan
Cassio walked to the sitting room which was relatively small but cosy, highly furnished and beauty. He opened the pulled a white curtain aside and peeped through the window to see if the blockhead Ethan would come despite his firm rejection. Except for the green lawn, pine trees and short wooden fence, there was no sign of Ethan.I guess he isn't a blockhead after all, Cassio closed the curtain and let out a deep sigh of relief. It wasn't actually his fault that he wasn't social—that he was typically selective with people he even interacted with. He was an INFJ[1] and there was nothing he could do about that. He couldn't be blamed for being a Cancer[2]. You see, he was born on the 22nd of June, 2006 and that determined his behavioural traits (so he claimed).Ruff!A dog barked beside him. He turned around and saw his golden retriever [3] standing a meter away from him as he wagged his tail. Chase was such an intelligent and cute golden retriever whom he had found by chance and adopted

Chapter Fifty Six: Masked Men
Cassio stayed in the kitchen for several minutes to fry the pig nose which he had cut to proportionate sizes.Sizzle!The chunks of pig nose sank into the golden oil, its skin changing from pale white to golden colour.A tantalizing aroma wafted the whole kitchen, seeping out through spaces to the entire house. Anyone who smelt this aroma wouldn't help but salivate instantly, greedily wishing to have at least a bite of the dish.Cassio proceeded to take a bottle of ground pepper, sprinkling it across the glistening oil. After that he added ground crayfish and salt. These condiments seeped right through the bubbling oil into the chunks of pig nose, giving them a shade of brownish colour."I'll try seeing what this book is all about this night," Cassio told himself as he turned the chunks of flesh with a spatula. "It shouldn't be simple with such aura."~Ethan couldn't help but sniff in air, his face squeezing up. After a few seconds he relaxed his face, his eyes shining with delight.

Chapter Fifty Seven: Cassio is a Superhero? Cool!
The ten masked men were all standing in front of Ethan, obscuring his only escape path. Although it was broad daylight they all seemed to be basked in darkness, a terrifying aura emanating from all of them. But then the aura from the man with a staff was thicker than all of them, suppressing the aura from the other nine."God..." Ethan was very much scared. Even being couldn't describe the bleak situation he was in right now."Give us the book," the man with staff said, "and we will grant you a swift death."This intonation? Ethan was surprised, his eyebrows arching as he asked, "Are you british?"The man looked at his comrades with a common thought, Is this kid a blockhead? Didn't he just hear the threat?"I'm telling you the last time," the man said in his british accent, his eyes turning miasmal, "give us the book!""What book?" Ethan asked in a dumbfounding manner. I don't know any book they are talking about."The book about Cthulhu Mythos!" the man was becoming impatient. Time w

Chapter Fifty Eight: Curiosity Kills the Cat
Cassio walked out of the portal followed by Chase who kept arguing that it was better for Ethan's balls to be chewed raw to prevent him from telling on them. Cassio instinctively closed his legs, remembering what had happened earlier. How could his golden retriever be so brutal?After laying Ethan on the settee in the sitting room, Cassio stood next to him and wondered what he should do next."I'm still saying it and I'll say it again," Chase said. "Lemme crush his balls!"His eyes shone with delight as he wagged his tail excitingly. He couldn't wait to show his expertise in biting balls again. Shouldn't he be called, Ball Crusher?Cassio roughly shook his head, "If we wanted him to die we should have just left him in the hands of those thugs.""That was before he knew I could talk," Chase quickly showed his displeasure."Then we'll find other means," Cassio said as he looked down on Ethan who had cracked his eyes open.Ethan stared at Cassio and then at Chase, wondering what he was d

Chapter Fifty Nine: Other World
The trio were very quiet, pondering what the woman had just said right now about the realm which existed—the realm called Stivilli. Cassio didn't take it to heart because he had dreamed about it, Chase was a little flustered but Ethan felt entirely different—as if he had been led to a whole new world of knowledge.Ethan silently sat down and asked Catha, "This Stivilli, it exists in another universe, right?"Hearing this question Cassio couldn't help but become surprised. When did Ethan who was naturally a blockhead know about universes? What happened to him being blockhead?"What's your definition of a universe?" Catha asked, becoming interested in Ethan's question.Cassio who was more knowledgeable couldn't help but sit down and listen to what Ethan would say in relation to Catha's question.Chase on the other hand eagerly sat down on the floor and waited for Ethan to say something stupid and provocative to the woman. That way him chewing off his balls would be justified.Ethan took

Chapter Sixty: Feel at Home
Patrick and his daughter led Cassio and Ethan through the market to their house with Chase following behind. The village had several wooden houses and huts which were of a very low quality. Obviously people living here were poor and only made a living through fishing, farming and trading. There were a few people in the village and so it was not crowded. There was so much space around."Welcome to Arthur's Village," Patrick said as he walked towards a hut and pushed the door open. The old door creaked as it was pushed backwards, almost falling off its hinges."Arthur's Village?" Cassio asked. Who was Arthur and why was the village named after him?"You don't know Arthur?" Joana was shocked, her mouth agape. Who in Camelot didn't know who Arthur was?Cassio narrowed his blue eyes and was about to say something cold when Ethan's voice broke through, "Sorry to trouble you but can you tell us about Arthur? We've lost our memories about everything except for our names.The hut was very shab
