Paradoxical Paradigm

IRLBum
“Science is the closest thing to Magic.” If that is true, then what we call Magic is nothing more than Science we have yet to understand. And if Science itself is merely a codification of wonder, then the boundary between the rational and the miraculous is far thinner than humanity dares admit. Between Scientific knowledge and Religious faith, between Culture and Superstition.  Humanity asked the question:  "When the laws of physics themselves bend under the weight of human will, are we practising sorcery or are we merely revealing deeper ontologies of reality?" Science provides method, proof, and structure.  Magic supplies mystery, awe, and possibility.  Together, they create a paradox. A world where equations are incantations, where quarks and sigils are written in the same language, where love and entropy obey the same law. As such. I posed the same question: "Are we merely revealing deeper layers of reality?" And the world answered: "Absque ulla dubitation" That is the Paradox of 'our' Universal Paradigm. . . . Say that again? P.S.A: Horrendously scientific. Referral to the equation list in the Auxiliary Chapters is a must. Hell, go pursue a PhD in Quantum Mechanics / Particle Physics to understand some of the shit I yap.

SSS Awakening: Birth of the Dream Curse System (RE)

Benji grew up exposed to the cruelest side of humanity, which made him loathe it as a result. He swore revenge on every vile human that made his life a living hell - especially his high school bully. Because of his small and frail body, all these fantasies were just that, raw emotions he could never express. That is until Benji and his companions in the military were exposed to the Dream Curse and becoming the first Enlightened Ones(or so they thought) - which is an elite group of people who survived the Dream Maize and awakened with supernatural powers. They fought against horrors like Titans, other Curses and Demons; transversing ancient realms like the Underworld and the Afterlife, protecting humans in a primordial war they could not even understand. Even though Benji had acquired the power he had always desired, it also came with a potentially fatal flaw. While others ascended towards divinity, he descended towards profanity instead. or maybe that was not such a bad thing since his powers perfectly matched his desires...

I promise it gets really interesting. I have devised a pre-conflict to keep you satiated as you wait for the main one. You can try and solve the mystery if you can. Good luck! :] discord: @kenny_sk discord link: https://discord.gg/t8X7Gkd20
