Edit: I'm too lazy to fix the novel cover. -------- In the beginning, there was nothing. No time, no space, no thought, no story. Then came the Old Gods. From the endless void, they forged the very essence of reality: Matter, Concepts, Law, Time, Space, Life, Death, Story, Information - and the invisible hands of Fate and Causality. Eons passed. In a nameless galaxy on the edge of existence, humanity unknowingly teetered between myth and oblivion. Their fears gave birth to demons. Their beliefs gave rise to hope. From the shadows of myth, two divergent civilizations were born - one fighting in silence to contain the cosmic anomalies that now creep into their world. This is where Nicolas Ventis comes in - just a sick intern on a quiet spring night in 2083. Until the sea began to boil. Until the skies screamed. Until the world ended - and restarted. Now face-to-face with entities older than the multiverse itself, Nicolas is offered something no mortal ever receives: A choice. A power. A burden. Welcome to the House of Votex. Where stories begin. And where all of them must eventually return.
