Mira called out to Rey, "Rey, it's time for bed!" She carried him to his room and gently laid him on his bed. With a warm smile, she whipped out a book.

"It's bedtime. Let me read you a book since you like books so much."

As she began reading, Rey's eyes sparkled with excitement.

"A long time ago, the world was on the brink of destruction, with no one to stop the Demon Lord LeroEpeothus from destroying all the multiverses from the Outerverse. Despite being that strong, he was still growing stronger as he was eating different dimensions and timelines in all worlds.

Meanwhile, in the High Outerverse, a being was being born by the hopes and prayers of all creatures in all multiverses and their dimensions. In the High Outerverse, three layers were formed, with each layer transcending the other. The first was the 'Labyrinth Realm,' and it was a realm that transcended the High Outerverse. The second realm inside the first realm was the 'Delta Realm,' and the third realm inside the second was the 'Static Realm,' a boundless void of nothingness. Then, in the core of that realm, the Celestial King was born in a Mirror Room.

After being born with no way to come out, the Celestial King destroyed all three realms in order to save everything in creation. After destroying the realms, the Celestial King defeated the Demon Lord and brought peace to the world."

"Good night, baby boy. Sweet dreams."

The next morning, Mira carried Rey to bathe him. After bathing Rey, Mira went to do the dishes. Rey went upstairs to the library, picked a book.

"It's been two years now since the first time I came here. This place looked like the only part of the house that felt abandoned—books all over the floor and cobwebs on the ceiling." Then he started reading.

"In this world, there's something called the High Outerverse, and inside the High Outerverse, the Outerverse. And in that Outerverse, there are 12 crystals, each containing infinite multiverses, universes, dimensions, and timelines. Then there are five races—humans, elves, dwarfs, dragons, and monsters.

So realistically, the universe I was born in was given the name The Forsaken Ones. The planet Earth had seven continents: Rassian, Alcadine, Herule, Suiden, Klaric, Contid, and Sequara. I was born in Alcadine, and in Alcadine, there were five kingdoms—Silverwood (Kingdom of Dragonoids), Glenwood (Kingdom of Elves), Ironwood (Kingdom of the Dwarfs), Oakwood (Kingdom of Monsters), and Kingswood (Kingdom of Humans). It says here that there are other races the gods of creation created too, but no one knows where they are. They may be in any of the crystals in the Outerverse. Those races were the fairies, giants, merfolks, goblins, kitsune (fox spirits), harpies (half humans, half birds), and the phoenix race.

The fifth crystal in the Outerverse is the place to see mixed races. And there's the Shadow Realm—a realm outside the Outerverse. Moving on, there are four universes and four clans in the fifth crystal. They are:

Martial Arts Clan (A clan of shinobis, samurais, kung fu masters, and monks)

Magical Clan (A clan of mages and sorcerers)

Stealth Clan (A clan of thieves, assassins, and spies)

Unique Clan (A clan for alchemists and celestial beings)

There's a place called the Supreme Court in the Outerverse, a place ruled by the five Imperial Elders under the control of the Monarchs—a place balancing the world between good and evil and the control of power.

The Sixth Crystal — Home to the Witches:

The Witches of Hollow Echoes – (The Whispering Void)

"Resonance of the Forgotten" – They can trap people in endless loops of déjà vu, where their actions repeat infinitely unless they decipher the hidden flaw in their illusion. They erase people from existence by making the world forget them, turning them into wandering echoes.

Instead of rewriting reality outright, they "hollow out" truths, making them unstable until they collapse. A person who questions their own existence in their presence might simply cease to be.

Their power is ineffective against beings who possess absolute conviction in their existence.

The Witches of Fractured Tomorrows – (The Bleeding Hourglass)

"Shattered Futures" – Their magic doesn't manipulate time in the traditional sense; instead, they force people to experience multiple conflicting futures at once, leaving them unsure which timeline they actually exist in.

They don't grant prophecies—they inflict them. If they speak of a death, the victim experiences it in real-time, but whether it truly happens is left uncertain until the moment arrives.

Their magic can be resisted by those who can impose a stronger reality onto themselves, overriding their fragmented timelines.

The Witches of Woven Lies – (The Seamstress of Truths)

"Tapestry of Lies" – They can stitch falsehoods into reality, altering memories, events, and even physical laws. The stronger someone believes the lie they weave, the more real it becomes.

Unlike mere illusionists, their changes are permanent if left unchallenged for too long. If they convince the world that fire is cold, it becomes cold. However, the moment doubt is cast upon their lies, it starts unraveling.

Someone who understands absolute truth can resist or sever her threads, but doing so requires near-inhuman mental resilience.

The Witches of Endless Hunger – (The Devourer of Meaning)

"Abyssal Consumption" – They don't just eat flesh; they devour concepts. They can consume someone's ability to love, to dream, to feel fear—leaving them as hollow puppets. If they devour the idea of "light," the world plunges into eternal night.

Unlike traditional magic that creates or changes, theirs is purely destructive. They are the ultimate eraser of meaning, making them existential horrors among witches.

They cannot devour what has no meaning to them. If someone presents an idea beyond their comprehension, she cannot erase it.

The Witches of Forsaken Graves – (The Keeper of Unfinished Deaths)

"Lament of the Unburied" – They command the souls of those who died without closure, forcing them to enact their final desires in the physical world. They can also "resurrect" people, but only in their most vengeful, regretful state.

Unlike a necromancer, they don't control the dead—they are bound by their unfinished emotions, making them unpredictable. They can, however, twist their pain to fuel their own strength.

Those who die at peace or hold no regrets are beyond their influence, limiting their power.

There are still many more witches like the Witches of Dissonance, who distort reality through contradictions, Witches of Fate, Witches of Paradox, and so on.

Overall, witches are beings who transcend conventional reality, existing in multiple layers of perception. They belong to an ancient order or hierarchy where each witch represents a different domain of control. They engage in conceptual duels where they challenge opponents to prove or disprove the existence of their magic and logic. Some are eldritch entities who have lived since time immemorial, existing in forgotten dimensions or lost realms. They may appear in human form but are actually cosmic forces that can rewrite existence itself through rituals, sacrifices, or grand games of fate.

And finally—The Fate (God of Destiny and also the God of all the Witches). He has access to a dimension more like a library, where he enters to read about the flow of the Sixth Crystal. The library itself is a place where all the books inside, each representing the life of each and every witch in the Sixth Crystal. So, if he chooses, he could just pick a random book and start rewriting a witch's existence.

The Ninth Crystal, containing only one universe, was home to all the Constellation Gods.

Learning about this world is fun—until Luck walked in.

"Rey, why don't you take a break from reading and watch me train sometimes?"

"I'm busy, you idiot. Leave me alone. Go train by yourself."

Luck carried Rey outside.

"Watch your dad show off some moves he's been working on for the past few months."

Although I haven't perfected it yet, Luck said to himself. He took a step backward with one leg and swung his sword, facing up, making a wind slash.

The wind slash was so powerful it tore the sun in half.

Luck exclaimed, "I call this one The Razor's Edge!"

Rey stuttered, "Da-da, raa-zur... egg."

Despite him having such an odd personality and sometimes acting like a child, I still like him.

Mira shouted from the kitchen, "Luck, honey! Rey better not be there when you're pulling those dangerous stunts again!"

Luck reassured her, "No, honey! Rey's inside reading."

Mira shouted again, "I'm coming outside to see for myself!"

Luck whispered to Rey, "Rey, quick, go to the library!"

Mira opened the door and saw Luck standing alone.

"Oh, thank goodness Rey wasn't here."

Luck whistled innocently while facing up.

Mira gave him a suspicious look.

"Lucccccccck?"

Luck asked, "What? You've seen for yourself that Rey wasn't here."

Mira gave Luck a big knock on the head.

"Why did you cut the sun in half? You're lucky this universe regenerates. That's why we aren't in total darkness right now."

Luck apologized, "Soooorrrrrrry!"

Later that evening, Luck carried Rey around the town on a tour, and then they came back home. After that, Mira carried Rey to bathe him and then took him to his room.

Mira began reading to Rey again.

"It's nap time, Rey. Let me continue from where I stopped yesterday."
