Teacher Julius spent almost an hour staring just at the first page of the Exploration Report on Everything. The first paragraph alone was enough to shatter reality as humans knew it, turning every known axiom upside down.

[In the beginning, there was only the boundless, eternal Void. From that dark abyss, the Creatures of the Void were born. Just like chaos itself, they were endless and everlasting, vast and forever changing. But then came desire, and with it came direction. From it, the seven gods were born.]
Julius took a shaky breath.
"Seven gods? But there were only six gods…"
Granted, countless people had suggested the existence of the seventh god before — for no other reason than the prevalence of the number seven in everything that had to do with the Nightmare Spell, as well as with the bygone civilizations of the Dream Realm.
