The Forbidden Question

The Forbidden Question

Jul 12, 2025

Autor: Welcome to DIVINVM. This is the beginning of a philosophical mystery about gods, systems of belief, and the terrifying consequences of asking questions no one dares to voice.

CHAPTER 1: "The Forbidden Question"


---

Narrator:
The clock read 11:23 a.m.
Philosophy class buzzed like a distant hum.
Kael barely blinked. His notebook held no notes—only one sentence, written in firm handwriting:

> “What if all the gods spoke the truth at the same time?”



The classroom was silent. No one noticed.
Only the professor stared at him from the desk—arms crossed, one eyebrow raised.


---

Professor:
(Voice sharp and dry.)
— Kael.
— Is that what you do in my class?

Kael (without looking up):
— It’s not disrespect. I’m… thinking.

Professor (ironically):
— Oh, thinking. Enlighten us, please.

Kael (lifts his head, eyes serious and hollow):
— If all religions were true…
then one of their gods would have to lie.
And if one lies, then all could lie.

(Silence. Nervous laughter from some classmates.)


---

Narrator:
The professor says nothing.
Kael lowers his gaze again.
In the corner of the page, he writes one word:

> Doubt.




---

SCENE 2 – Old library, same afternoon

Narrator:
Kael walks alone through the old district.
They say no one enters the Convent Library anymore.
But Kael doesn’t listen to rumors.
He follows a feeling… as if something was waiting for him.

The door creaks open. The smell: wood, dust, and dead time.
In the back, a single table.
And on it, one book:

> Codex Gnosis Dei



Black cover. No visible title.
Only a symbol: a triangle inside a circle, with eyes at each vertex.

Kael opens it. The pages are blank—except one.
Written in Latin, Greek, Arabic, and Japanese:

> “Whoever reads this and understands shall be the last to die.”



Kael (softly):
— That makes no sense…

(He freezes. He feels something behind him.)


---

Narrator:
A hooded figure watches from atop the shelves.
It does not breathe. It does not speak.
It simply is.


---

Figure (deep, otherworldly voice):
— You believe in nothing…
and that is why you can see everything.

Kael (cold):
— Who are you?

Figure:
— I am not.
I observe.
You are the error in the divine equation.

(And it disappears.)


---

SCENE 3 – Kael’s home, that night

Narrator:
Kael starts seeing names floating above people’s heads:

> “Yahweh – Christian faith”
“Huitzilopochtli – Mexica heritage”
“Karma – Buddhist cycle”



But above his own head…
Nothing.

> Void.




---

SCENE 4 – The next day, tragedy

A classmate commits suicide.
The police find a note:

> “I said I was an atheist. They punished me.
I saw it. It was the god I denied.”



Narrator:
In his room, Kael finds a symbol marked on the wall:
The name of the Hebrew God—written backward.

When he touches it, a vision takes over his mind.


---

VISION

A circle of thrones. In each seat, a god:
Zeus, Jesus, Buddha, Shiva, Quetzalcoatl, Allah…

They argue. They want control.
But they cannot act directly.
They need humans.
Representatives.

Kael was not chosen by any of them.
That makes him invisible.
Free.


---

FINAL SCENE

Kael, alone in his room, writing:

> “Hell does not exist.
Only minds trapped in false ideas.”



He looks at the reader.

Kael (voice-over):
— If the gods fear me…
it’s because I was not born to obey.

Black screen. End of Chapter 1.



Autor note: Thank you for reading Chapter 1 of DIVINVM.
If you're still here, you’re ready for what’s coming.
The gods have plans. But Kael has questions.
And that changes everything.

> What if the gods no longer asked for devotion... but obedience?

In a world where ancient faiths are returning and miracles are no longer metaphor, a young man named Kael begins to question everything. His past is marked by exile, his mind by dangerous ideas, and his present by visions he cannot explain.

As temples collapse and forgotten symbols reappear, Kael finds himself at the center of a growing storm—a silent war between belief and reason.

Seven religions. Seven chosen.
And one boy who doubts...

In a society where questioning the divine is heresy, Kael doesn't just ask why—he dares to ask what if they're wrong?

DIVINVM is a philosophical mystery about gods, faith, logic, and the terrifying power of doubt.
