3 Sense City

As the light flared to life the first thing I was the ceiling of what I could only assume was a temple to one of the 13 gods. As I continue to look around an saw no statue of any of the gods I could only assume that it was the temple to Fakt because he left this world so no one knows what he looks like. The only humanoid figure in the room was an old man who I could only assume was a guide for reality, so following this logic I asked him where I would find a Library and Mage tower.

"Young man then I will mark the locations of both of those structures on your mab so please bring out your map."

When he asked for the map I realized that in Reality, you have an Inventory system with a limited quantity of spaces, it looked like 100. In these spaces, I started with 5 pieces of both bread and bottles of water, a map, and 5 gold coins. As a passed him the map I asked the old man what the monetary system for Reality was. He responded with.

"One platinum = 100 gold, 1 gold = 10 silver, 1 silver = 100 copper. And I have marked both locations on your map, so then off with you then more people could arrive whenever. "

"Thank you very much, old man, I will be off then."

I exited the temple of Fakt to see others walking out if the 12 other temples around me. People continuously spawned out of the other 12 temples but as a watched I never saw any other people emerge from the temple of Fakt. I was confused about this because all 13 are gods, but then I came to the conclusion that because Fact had left this world people cannot spawn from his temple. This realization left me in confusion until I realized that I must have had something to do with my unique bloodline. After I exited the temple grounds I followed the map to the Mage tower. After a substantial walk, I could see the marble behemoth that was the library.

I walked but the rather small doors for the scale of the building as opened then to a waft of old books. I then stepped through the doors are saw a small room that looks like a reception area and walked up to the little lady behind the desk. She looked like she was a member of the fox bloodline which gave her small ears and a fluffy tail. She was an orange in color almost coming close to an amber coloration with black and white on some parts of her body. She was apparently reading a book and looked up towards me.

She said, "Hello, sir how may I help you."

"Hi, miss..."

"Jane my name is Jane."

"Mine is LostWord but you can call me Word. I was looking for books on the rules of the Reality."

"Well we don't have any books relating to that subject, every person has to figure out the rules of their own. Whenever someone tries to write down the segments of the rules that they understand the words are eminently erased from the page and then the person who wrote those words is cursed by Reality itself. The Mage Tower will have trainers that could help you on your path of understanding the rules and how they work, but they can not give you distinct information or they will be cursed by the universe."

"Thank you, Jane, I will see you later after I have a subject which I would like to research."

"I will be looking forward to seeing you then. Bye Word"

After talking with Jane I turned around and left the Library. I then walked for what felt like 10 minutes to the Mage Tower. The tower was like a white spire going into the sky. Just like the Library it was made of marble and had a pair of unassuming doors with stairs leading up to it. I repeated the actions as the library and walked up the stairs and into the tower itself. Unlike the Library once I entered the tower I say 12 sections colored in different colors for each of the 12 elements. Brown - earth, blue-water, orange-fire, yellow-green-air, white-light, black-dark, light blue-spirit, gray-body, violet-mind, indigo-force, yellow-matter, and green-time. At the center of these 12 sections, a glowing red sphere was floating. Directly under the sphere was what looked like a closed book. The book was spinning atop of a pedestal of energy.

After I took all of this in a young looking wolf bloodline Beast-kin walked into the room through the Mind sections door. As he exited through the door the door shut on its own with an audible click. He then walked towards the pedestal in the center of the room and turned and spoke to me.

"Beautiful isn't it. I like to call it the book of reality, but I honestly have no idea what its called. As a mage of the Mind element, I search for new knowledge in the world, lost mysteries to be solved. But, I still cannot approach this book. This book has been sitting here for as many years that we have recorded history. When the mage tower was built a mystical force took it over and created this room. Each of the 12 seconds doors lead to a different floor of the mage tower though teleportation. We still don't fully understnad how the teleportation works, but we know its a combonation between the force, matter and time rules. Mages themselves cannot accomplish this feat because of the opposition of the rules."

"Excuse me sir, but what is the opposition of the rules?"

"The opposition of the rules is how different rules cancel each other out. Fire and water, air and earth, light and dark, mind and body and soul, force and matter and time. A mage cannot practice any opsosing rules to eachother orself they will die for the rules battling inside of them. The rules themselves keep a balance between one another so Reality is not turned into shreeds."

"That what is the red sphere in the center"

"The sphere represents the rule of reality itself. All 12 of the rules together. This fact itself is why the opposition of rules confuse me. From the sphere representing the rule of reality itself, I can only assume the book shows a person how to accomplish this, but the book is protected by the rule of reality. On the pedestal, there is an inscription that says 'The one who can wield all 12 can take this book, the book can never be taken from them' this same room is in the other three mage towers in the capital cities of the other nations."

"What is the rule on trying to take the book."

"Ha ha ha, if you would like to try that is fine by me, but you will be killed if you are not the one destined for this book. "

The death part of this did not scare me at all because I was a player/chosen so I can be revived after I die, so I walked towards the center of the room and reached my hand forwards and passed the barrier around the book. Once my finger came in contact with the book it appeared right in my hand.
