Chapter 1 — The First Sentence Never Written
In an indescribable darkness, where there was no sound, no light, not even darkness itself, a consciousness emerged.
"If I exist, then the first word must've been written. But I remember writing nothing."
That was the first awareness in a space where the word "awareness" had yet to be invented. It knew no form, no time, no story. But one thing was certain: it was the thing not yet written.
Narratum Nihil: The World That Never Was
This place was called Narratum Nihil—the gap between stories. Here lies everything erased, forgotten, or never born. It was here he emerged—not because he was written, but because he was forgotten by the Great Pen.
At the edge of the void, he rose. His first steps were unrecorded. His name was written nowhere—on sky, earth, or thought. But you, reader… you have thought of him.
And now… he is.
"Azarion…" The word echoed. Not from outside, but from the narrative itself.

Chapter 2 — A Crack in the Silence
Narratum Nihil began to crack. But not from the outside… from within. Fragments of narrative began forming themselves—creating words and ideas Azarion had never written.
"Someone… is writing this story. But it's not me."
From the void, a new entity emerged: Narthis, The Inscriber. A being who seeks to erase the blank and rewrite everything.
Chapter 3 — The Inscriber
Narthis was the opposite of Azarion. If Azarion was the absence of story, Narthis was the desire to write everything.
"Emptiness is a flaw. I will write all of it. Until no blank space remains."
He held a glowing pen, and with it, forced stories to flow once more: Sky. Seasons. Conflict. Love. Time. Endings.
And Azarion… began to disappear.
Chapter 4 — War Without Genre
Azarion did not wield a weapon. He did not fight—fighting was a narrative.
But he looked at Narthis… and the world stopped forming.
"If everything is written, who watches the logic?"
"If everything ends, then why do we read?"
Narthis laughed. "Because story is the only meaning. Without it, you are silence."
Then the war began—not with swords or spells, but with concepts.
Narthis wrote: Azarion is defeated.
Azarion erased the word defeated.
Narthis wrote: Azarion becomes a tragedy.
Azarion deleted the very structure of tragedy.
Their battle had no sound—because language itself had shattered.
Chapter 5 — The Page That Breaks
Narthis wrote his final scripture: Scriptus Ultima. If completed, all blank would vanish. Azarion would become a character. And characters… can die.
So Azarion opened Codex Nullus, and for the first time, he wrote:
"Stop."
Chapter 6 — The Final Silence
Everything froze. Narthis's pen shattered. Words ceased.
And Narthis, the scribe of all, began to weep.
He realized: The perfect story… is the one left unfinished.
Epilogue — The Unclosed Paragraph
Azarion stood between word and void.
"The end is not marked by the last page," he said, "But by your willingness to stop reading."
He faded once more into Narratum Nihil. Unknown. Unspoken. Unread.
And yet…
This page remains blank. And as long as it is blank, Azarion is not gone.
AZARION: THE UNWRITTEN
"And in the end… He remained unwritten."
