About it:
- Contains all information about everything (person, plant, animal, insect/bug, arachnid, material, resource (metals, diamonds, etc.), food with its ingredients and steps to prepare, demographic records, cultures, etc. everything) living on earth, in the past and the present.
- Even hidden worlds within earth, dimensions, realms and pocket dimensions connected to earth with all their inhabitants, hidden countries, civilizations and magical communities that are hiding from everyone on earth (including gods) will not be able to hide from her, their information will be there, including locations, how to get to them in the book.
- It gets updated automatically (when a new person is born, when a person dies, when a new food or a variant of one is created, new animals, insects, etc. something new happens, or is made, or destroyed)
- Everything learnt and discovered by earth's inhabitants will also be included in "The Book of Gaia" (this is all the knowledge, technological advancements, sciences, magic knowledge etc.) so the MC will be capable of learning magic, sciences, engineering and all that. He could make his own serums (super soldier, oz, lizard, etc.)
Even build his own arc reactor or mini sun, make his/her own artificial heart shaped herb, synthetic vibranium, magical artifacts (as knowledge on them would not just have their images, names and functions but also how they were built and what their creators thought of them and theorized).
- Able to use the book of Gaia like a magical grimoire, can cast magic directly from it, spells depending on how much energy you have to give or stamina.
- Can use the Book of Gaia to communicate to Gaia herself. Can summon her too, but she can choose whether to accept the summons or not.
- Limitations:
A) Have to have been one of three things to have it and use it:
1) Been born on Earth or the realms and pocket dimensions that are closely linked to and connect to earth
2) Be a species of earth or at least half of an earth species if you have ties to species from outer space i.e. half human-half Asgardian, half Kree-half Atlantean, half mutant-half inhuman, etc.
3) Capable of doing magic.
B) The book only shows content for its wielder/chosen master. To everyone else, its blank pages only. So, if you want to how others, that's impossible.
C) Unless you're thinking of what you want to see from the book when you're turning its pages, the book won't show anything to you.
D) The book is said to have near infinite pages and may as well be infinite because it doesn't get rid of old information, only updates with new ones and there's always something new to add everyday so more and more info is added. Unless you're the master of the book (the MC) or superman who can carry the book of destiny (that actually has infinite pages), you're not lifting it.
Story:
MC gets reincarnated with his memories in a new world with a background setting, family and race of his choosing and just one wish.
The MC chooses to be reborn in a Marvel world (background, family, race is all up to author who takes on the story) with a godly divine artifact (a creation of the MCs by the wish and specifying what it would entail, the books' capabilities and powers)
Interesting right! A book with knowledge about any and everything that's on earth, hidden or not.
MC can learn to build whatever he wants (provided its already built therefore the knowledge would be found in the book), magic (rituals and spells etc.) etc.
A great idea if i do say so myself.
It was inspired by a story i read once where the MC in DC got a book from Gaea which had names of everyone on earth along with where to find them, hidden or not. This idea is expanded on. Everything that has ever been done on earth will be recorded in the book.
