Sage of the Ancients: The Katalonan's Revelation

The order and laws of the universe are not just limited to the cosmos but are also ingrained in the very fabric of human existence. By adhering to these principles, we can unlock the full potential of our own existence and harmonize with the natural order of the universe. The era of divinity is long gone, and industrialization and machinery have covered the remnants of the past. However, these godly tools have not been lost but are kept secret by those in power. Philip Cadence is an archaeologist working in the Philippines. During his work, he discovers that relics and artifacts contain not only otherworldly beauty but also forbidden knowledge that those in power seek to obtain. Will Philip be able to obtain this knowledge, or will he be exploited by those who seek such things? Disclaimer: This novel is a work of fiction.
