Reality Library

## **Summary**

Everything has to come from something, somewhere. Everything is a story in some way, whether it's a storybook, movie, anime, game, or even a simulation of some kind, but what if the creator of these "stories" are just characters in another story created by a higher being, and what if those beings are also merely story characters? What is the source of all of these "layers" of reality; what started it all?

## **Cosmic Structures**

### Universe

All of the physical matter and linear time that comprises a world. These universes are gathered together to for the "Material World" in the physical world. A universe has its own laws of physics and history which differentiates each of them from other universes. All universes are separated by a higher-dimensional space in-between each other, thus being able to travel to other universes with sheer movement alone qualifies for 5-dimensional movement, as one will first have to breach time as well to escape from a universe to other universes.

### Kiloverse

A group of isolated universes that ranges from two to an infinite number of universes that abide by the same laws of physics. A kiloverse can also be used to describe a conventional multiverse. However, the term "multiverse" is used to describe several universes that are dimensionally bound inside a higher-dimensional barrier. Thus "kiloverse" is a more specific and accurate term regarding the scale of the multiverse that is being described.

### Multiversal Barrier

A boundary that contains all the universes inside a multiverse, these barriers are usually depicted as a higher-dimensional barrier that contains every universe. The scale varies depending on how many dimensions are in the multiverse, but the barrier is usually one spatial dimension higher in order to contain them. Even if there are an infinite amount of universes, these universes cannot just burst through it as higher-dimensional space makes them infinitesimally small in comparison. (A 5-dimensional feat at the very least to destroy one)

### Megaverse

A larger collection of universes in the form of infinite kiloverses. Since a kiloverse is 4-dimensional, it has a 5-dimensional barrier that encompasses it, so a megaverse is 5-dimensional with a 6-dimensional multiversal barrier, although this is the bare minimum. Megaverses come in various dimensional sizes, expanding to the 11-dimensional spacetime of the Domain of Man. "Megaverse" is a general term, but there are other specific terms used to describe the larger megaverses, examples below.

* Megaverse: Contains infinite kiloverses. (5-dimensional with a 6-dimensional multiversal barrier)

* Gigaverse: Contains infinite megaverses. (6-dimensional with a 7-dimensional multiversal barrier)

* Teraverse: Contains infinite gigaverses. (7-dimensional with an 8-dimensional multiversal barrier)

* Petaverse: Contains infinite teraverses. (8-dimensional with a 9-dimensional multiversal barrier)

* Exaverse: Contains infinite petaverses. (9-dimensional with a 10-dimensional multiversal barrier)

* Zettaverse: Contains infinite exaverses. (10-dimensional with an 11-dimensional multiversal barrier)

* Yottaverse: Contains infinite zettaverses. (11-dimensional with a 12-dimensional multiversal barrier)

### Quantum Multiverse

Not a typical multiverse, but a single universe in which every single possible thing, regardless how insignificant it may be, causes the timeline to diverge into infinite possibilities and outcomes in which these also diverge into infinite possibilities and outcomes indefinitely in the same manner. The entirety of a quantum multiverse is a 5-dimensional structure for a standard universal model, but it is able to get far higher depending on the structure.

**World Line**: A specific set of outcomes an individual may experience during their lifespan and everything that happens after the time they die. Every universe has an infinite number of world lines represented as alternate timelines. These timelines are described as if "if linear time is a line, then alternate timelines would be a 2D plane", making the smallest quantum multiverse a 5-dimensional structure by default.

### Physical World (WIP)

The world which is physical, meaning it is still controlled by laws of physics and causality, even if they are irregular to traditional laws of physics or causality. The physical world can be described as "the world within any dimensional scale, regardless if the scale is infinite-dimensional or finite", the realms that exist beyond the physical world are purely abstract and metaphysical, such as Limbo.

* **Material World**: The lowest plane of existence of the physical world and the bottom of the Domain of Man, filled with matter and time to form universes. The material world is filled with many universes to form multiverses. All universes have higher-dimensional space outside of them which separates universes from each other, and they never share the same dimension of time. There are also "larger" multiverses called "megaverses" in which hold an infinite number of multiverses. "Multiverse" is general term, as it describes an infinite collection of universes in general, so "kiloverse" is used to specifically describe an infinite collection of universes. "Megaverse" is also a general term to describe an infinite collection of multiverses, but it is also used to specially describe an infinite collection of kiloverses. Megaverses are separated by a higher-dimensional "barrier" which separates them from even larger megaverses. For these "barriers", it is always one dimension greater than the megaverse's size. (See **Multiversal Barriers**)

* **Quantum Realm**: WIP

* **Domain of Man**: WIP

* **The Endless Abyss**: An endless realm that starts right outside of the confines of the Domain of Man, with the material world being at the very first "step" of the Abyss in fact. Even though it is described as an "abyss", this is from a higher being's perspective, but to those below these beings, the Abyss is more of an endless ladder spiraling upwards for eternity. Each "step" is described as "one less limitation, and a step higher into the realm of the godhood", with each one being infinitely further away and harder to reach than the previous. Every step higher they ascend, is another limitation that is removed from them from the physical world, as such, one may have to rest after every few steps, as ascending too fast may quickly drain mental capacity by not adapting to the higher worlds and drive them to insanity, if not downright kill them by losing the mental capacity to even think to continue living on. Every step is also described to be mentally agonizing and spiritually taxing to endure, from feeling extreme frostbite all over your body, to feeling as if your body was being ripped apart to shreds with every step taken.

**The Underside**: Often referred to as the "background" of the physical world, even existing outside of the Endless Abyss. This "background" lies far beyond all the higher planes, permeating and influencing all of the planes of existence in the physical world. This "background" can also be described as the final boundary which separates the physical world from the metaphysical realm beyond all concepts of the physical world. Regardless of how high a being may ascend, they are unable to escape the physical world without letting go of their physical form. The Underside is ruled over by Charon, who is the guardian and acts like the gatekeeper between physical world and metaphysical realms, as well as the guide who guides souls into Limbo after death.

### Outer Realms

These realms are free of all limitations in a story, these worlds completely encompass everything else in them. Even the smallest of these realms is able to completely encompass the concepts of the physical world and the the only way to be able to access these realms is by letting go of one's physical form and accept themselves as a completely metaphysical and abstract entity. "Death" is one way to access these realms, as it allows the very core of a person's being to escape beyond the confines of the physical world. Since it does not participate in the concepts of time and space, the core of a being is a metaphysical attribute which transcends such concepts altogether as the essence of the being's sense of self.

* **Limbo**: A realm that lies far beyond the physical world by fully encompassing and utterly transcending such a structure's concepts. Limbo is a purely abstract and metaphysical world where the souls of the dead are sent before they ascend to the Afterlife. In order to ascend to the Afterlife, these souls must prove they are capable of manifesting their "true form", a form that reveals their true identity and values. Every verse has its own interpretation of Limbo which all of them connecting to the Afterlife of the layer they exist in. Limbo is also stated to be an infinitely-layered realm in which Death has complete domain over.

* **Afterlife**: A realm that exists far beyond conventional reality to where it becomes so insignificant, that it could be mistaken as a work of fiction. The Afterlife is connected to all stories in that layer, yet isn't bound by any of them, thus any character that dies or is discarded from the story is sent here to observe after they pass through Limbo. Every layer has its own Afterlife with all of them being connected to the final Afterlife in an infinite hierarchical ladder.

* **Heaven** and **Purgatory:** Two massive realms that exist on opposite sides of the Temple of the Supreme. In Heaven, you have the divine beings, in Purgatory, you have the demonic beings. Both realms are equal in power due to the Law of Balance. The two realms had feuds before, but each side have settled down for the most part and mildly watch over each other.

**Temple of the Supreme**: A massive temple that stands right below the Library of Creation, being in the center of both Heaven and Purgatory, this temple houses beings that have transcended the Afterlife and are much more powerful than demons and angels, being compared to gods in comparison to them. This temple also houses the Judgement Circle, the seven most powerful members in the Temple of the Supreme which guide everything below them as a collective group of power.

### Grand Design (WIP)

All of the possible stories that exists in a current layer of reality, containing the Afterlife of that reality layer as well.

### Reality Layer

A composite hierarchy that builds up the very foundation of all narratives and story hierarchies, as well as being the very framework in which all story hierarchies are able to even exist in the first place. A reality layer is often described as a sort of "boundary" which separates each layer of reality, with each layer completely transcending the previous as each reality layer has a reality-fictional difference between each other.

Every reality layer is also infinitely-layered on their own, being comprised up of an infinite number of Grand Designs and utterly transcending them. Making even the lowest of reality layers **High Outerverse level**, with the next reality layer's scale vastly larger than the previous. Since every one of the next layer of reality's layers are just as large as the previous layer, it makes the second reality layer uncountably infinite above baseline **High Outerverse level** (ℵ1), with the third layer being uncountably infinite above the second layer (ℵ2), the third reality layer being (ℵ3) above baseline **High Outerverse level**, and so on for an infinite number of higher levels of infinity by using the Axiom of Replacement.

*~~Even though each reality layer precedes the previous as if it was an infinite 1-A hierarchy, thus making even the second layer technically a Boundless realm, but eh. There is a maximum of five Tier 0s as stated in the rules, so this had to be downgraded in order to fit the standards of Tier 0s.~~*

### The Library of Creation

The source of all fiction and nonfiction, this realm is completely transcendent to all narratives and story hierarchies rather than simply existing outside of them. This endless library contains all of fiction and nonfiction as well as the noncanonical forms of them and all of their many interpretations, such as if a single letter was misspelled in a story or even unfinished versions of them. This realm was once thought to be the lead by The Author as if it was their domain. While it is true that The Author has complete power and absolute authority over this realm, it is later revealed that the true domain of The Author exists on a far, far higher plane which transcends even the Library of Creation, a much higher plane that is far too incomprehensible to be understood by lower beings.

## **Terms**

### "The Author"

The creator and writer of all fiction and nonfiction. They are completely transcendent to anything and everything imaginable, as they are the source of it and see all of it as mere fiction, regardless of the scale. They completely transcend all narratives and story hierarchies, since The Author fully transcends all reality layers, unlike demons, angels, and those in the Temple of the Supreme who merely exist outside of reality layers. As such, they are completely transcendent to even the Temple of the Supreme and all of the beings who thrive there. The Author is the only being that has the authority to not follow the Law of Balance, since the Law of Balance is nothing more than a general concept created by them and implemented inside of their stories to act as a fundamental principle to govern the very core of all stories and hierarchies, regardless of the scale in which they are told. The Library of Creation was once thought to be the lead by The Author as if it was their domain. While it is true that The Author has complete power and absolute authority over the Library of Creation, it is later revealed that the true domain of The Author exists on a far, far higher plane which transcends even the Library of Creation, a much higher plane that is far too incomprehensible to be understood by lower beings.

### The Law of Balance

A fundamental principle which states all things opposite to each other must be equivalent to each other, unless it is The Author. This law states that nothing can exist or not exist without an opposition to it. Such as good and evil, light and darkness, and even existence and nonexistence itself, therefore all things must abide by this law or they will be sent into a state of absolute nothingness.

### Conceptual Weapons

Powerful weapons with a conceptual nature. These weapons bypass all conventional Durability as they attack a concept of the target rather than the physical body of a being. The more powerful weapons can erase the conceptual nature of what makes a "character", destroying the totality of their existence; completely wiping them from the plot itself.

### The Judgement Circle (WIP)

An organization made up of the 7 Gods of Judgement; Balance, Karma, Law, Justice, Pacifism, Revenge, and Punishment.
