Thrown Into Madness - Lord of the Mysteries

In Style

Juny spent at least 8 hours reading, taking notes midway.

She now understood the concept of: Cogitation, Spirit vision, Ritualistic Magic, The External and Spirit world, The Bodies Layers such as the Spirit body, Charm making, Beyonder ingredients, Sequence potions, Acting Method, The three Beyonder Laws, Mystical items/artifacts, Official Beyonders x Wild Beyonders, Orthodox churches and more.

After an especially long section, she finally finished learning about the 22 standard Pathways, only that...

"22 Standard Parhways: Seer - Fool Pathway, Marauder - Error Pathway, Apprentice - Door Pathway, Spectator - Visionary Pathway, Bard - Sun Pathway, ... Arbiter - Justiciar Pathway."

"..."

"Where-"

Once again reading through the list, Juny couldn't believe her eyes.

'It's not there.'

"The Void pathway is not there!"

No matter how many times she read the list or how many pages she flipped there was no mention of the Void Pathway anywhere.

"How is that..?"

Getting up, Juny walked over to the 2nd Bookshelf and pulled out another book.

Once again flipping through it, she read: 'There is a total of 22 Standard Pathways: The Seer Pathway, The Marauder Pathway, ... and The Arbiter Pathway.'

"Nothing.."

She shoved the book back and took out a different one.

'In total, we have 22 Standard Pathways: ...'

"Nothing."

This repeated many times, with the same result.

There was no information on the Void Pathway.

She stood rooted in place for a moment before coming to a realization.

Putting all the books into their rightful place, Juny turned around and walking towards the official information bookshelf.

She skimmed through the titles before finally grabbing one: 'The Void Pathway's Origin and Curse, by Empty Star.'

Ignoring the strange name of the author, Juny skipped to the desk and started reading.

'The Void Pathway does not belong to the Standard 22 Pathways. The Void Pathway's potion formulas do not originate from the First Blasphemy Slate, but from The Queen of Cosmos, The Goddess of Galaxies and The Master of all Creation.'

'We, the Lapis family, are the descendants of The Queen's dearest Blessed. We have the duty to shield and protect the secrets of The Void Pathway that The Queen bestowed upon us. After The Queen sacrificed 'Her' life for the deletion of all records of The Void Pathway, we have wowed to forever guard the Pathway's Beyonder Characteristics.'

'We have taken the initiative to place a curse onto The entire Void Pathway as well as all Beyonder Characteristics in our possession, including the Beyonder ingredients, this includes those inside as well as the outside The Void Pathway. The curse states that anyone, who is not of the Lapis bloodline, cannot be made aware of The Void Pathway's potion formulas. If they do come to hold this information, they will experience excruciating pain, followed by an immediate and forceful extraction of said knowledge. This curse is irreversible and cannot be, in any way, bypassed. The Queen herself allowed us to use 'Her' remains to conduct this curse.'

'This curse also affects our Bloodline as well as the Beyonder ingredients in our grasp. If a person outside the Lapis family were to consume The Void Pathway's potion, or potion from other pathways that has been conducted using the ingredients stored inside the Dimensional Space, the curse would activate. If the person dies through normal death, their Beyonder Characteristics would warp into themself to teleport into the Dimensional Space. If they were to die due to losing control or their Beyonder Characteristic is corrupted by an evil existence, the remains will morph into themself to teleport into a fully enclosed and isolated space behind the usual storage area in the Dimensional Space.'
