Anon walked all throughout his entire town.

He had spent all night looking for a weak point. But he then realized that it could be literally anywhere in the universe. Whether it is deep in space or atop the tallest mountains. His device failed to provide meaningful help.

He had wanted to make a tracker instead of a detector. But the difference in resources was what stopped him. He would need servers and instruments located all around the earth to pull it off.

Right now. The best he was able to come up with was something that could detect universal stability. After failing to find a weak point in reality.

He went back home.

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.

He was surprised! He had laid his phone down on his bed. But it seemed to trigger his program.

"I guess it makes sense. I tracked this area from my domain. My consciousness was also was pulled from reality into that space."

Anon never would've known that the stability of his apartment was out of whack with the rest of the world.

It was fluctuating quite a bit.

"I wonder if stability acts like radiation. Could it damage my body in some way? Maybe cause some weird phenomenon?"

Anon put these thoughts aside and looked at the ball of potential in his sea of consciousness.

He had his hourglass hidden by the balancing spiritual energy between both objects. But now he put more weight on the hourglass and allowed it to float to the top of his mind.

His hourglass seemed anxious and urged him to hide it! It could feel 'something' approaching.

Anon laughed.

"Only I would dare use a heavenly treasure to fish! Now. Let us see if they will take the bai-"

A perfect black sphere appeared in front of him. He felt an endless pressure from it.

"What is th-?"

Anon felt a sense of danger as his apartment exploded. He was sent flying through multiple walls as he fell from multiple stories. The entire complex was in ruins.

Anon re-balanced his artifacts so the entity lost its target. But a massive blackhole appeared where his apartment originally was. It wasn't a real blackhole as that would've destroyed the world.

It was some weird entity in a weird form.

Anon tried to stand up. But ended up coughing up blood. The black sphere slowly floated towards him.

The black sphere started to boil as it transformed into the form of a person. But this shocked Anon.

Because it looked like him! But the hair was white instead of black and the eyes were completely white as well.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

"*(*&^*&^%^&%!?" He heard incomprehensible murmurs in his mind. He then felt a deep pain in his soul as both artifacts started to become agitated.

Anon laughed as more blood leaked from every orifice on his face.

Anon's heart was racing. But he wasn't scared. He was excited!

"This feeling. It is just like when I was in the domain. Your presence in this universe is limited just like me! You can only use a fraction of your power in your current state. You think you can beat me?"

The hourglass in his sea of consciousness was shaking in fear.

But Anon rebuked it for being a coward. It lacked too much experience and wasn't too intelligent yet. All it felt was an endless threat in front of it that wanted to consume it!

Anon slowly stood up as his 'other self' that cursed entity walked towards him expressionlessly.

"Concentration doesn't just resolve the problem between body and soul. It also has a recovery power!"

"Normally, it would take me weeks to months to heal from this physical trauma. But your messing with reality has made this space completely distorted."

Anon's wounds started to heal in real time!

"It seems I was right. If you want to enter this world. You will be weakened just like me! But there is one thing that sets me apart from you!"

"I have a REAL BODY!"

"You are a FAKE!"

Anon started sprinting towards the entity. It also picked up the pace and ran at him while shrieking. But the imagined outcome didn't appear as it did in Anon's mind.

The entity grabbed his wrist and crushed his bones. Anon felt a great pain.

Only a few seconds had passed in this battle. But people were approaching the scene to help and save those trapped under the rubble.

Anon was grabbed by the throat and was held up in the sky as the entity looked at him with a hint of mockery.

Anon smiled and used his declaration!

"The energy radiating from him is spiritual in nature."

"I am Timeless!"

Anon felt some form of energy get stolen from the entity as it cried out in pain.

He felt the rule attached to his artifact get activated! His cells were frozen in time and started to become a perpetual motion machine! He wasn't immortal in the fact that he could still die. But he was immortal in the fact that he would no longer age, nor need to eat or drink to live.

He still needed to breathe however. Besides, that you could trap him in a cell for decades and he would remain the same. The clothes might become rags though.

Anon then felt something was really wrong! He felt he was tricked into absorbing the energy. Because his body started to merge with the entity.

He felt his consciousness blur.

"Who am I?"

He was losing himself. But he allowed the ball of potential to rise from his subconscious. He had already activated the declaration on his hourglass.

He felt a boundless energy in this entity that was trying to erase everything that was him.

"I am..."

Anon knew now wasn't the time to hide is trump cards. He was going to get wiped out!

So his declaraiton was:

"I am Axiom!"

What did this mean? Within this simple sentence was everything he had. It was his plan and his memories. It was truth!

The rule was instantly activated and the entity cried out in horror as it lost control of its body. Now something insane happened. Anon had two states now.

He had his human form.

But he also had his eldritch form.

In one form he had white hair and white eyes. While his other form was a normal human. But there were some powers that he innately had as a 'eldritch entity'.

He was like a phantom. He could fly and phase through matter.

This ability wasn't free however. It seemed to have some connection to the other side. It also drained the energy of his fake artifact.

In other words. He called this transformed state 'Axiom'.

Anon turned invisible as he flew to a public bathroom and transformed back into his normal state.

"I had originally intended to make an immortal declaration. But my 'fishing' trip rushed me into a live or die situation. Now I know that it is too dangerous to 'fish' these existences. I barely opened the connection for a few seconds and something powerful enough to destroy me came through..."

"If I didn't have a weird use of declarations. I would've been screwed..."

Anon was happy. Both of his declarations were working in this world without supernatural power. But the entire apartment complex had been destroyed.

Many people had died. Some were trapped under the rubble.

Anon walked towards the spot where the chaos happened and he felt spiritual energy all around still.

"My phone was destroyed..."

"I am now homeless..."

Anon sneakily absorbed the spiritual energy. His fake artifact was recharged.

But what he didn't realize was that the supernatural had been brought to this universe thanks to his recklessness. It might take years. But things would soon forever change...
