Chapter3

Werren woke up before the sun came out.

There were no dreams.. His body felt like it had come back from a really far away place. His fingers felt stiff his joints felt heavy. The breath came out of his body slowly making a little mist in the cool air. His body, the body felt like it had been, on a journey and his breath the breath was moving in and out slowly. His fingers, the fingers were stiff and his joints, the joints were heavy.

This was not ordinary cold.

He sat on the edge of his bed. Looked at his own hands. The small veins under his skin were easy to see. For a time he felt something weird. Like there was a little space between what he wanted to do and actually doing it. The world seemed to be waiting for him to make a decision before he could do anything. He thought about his hands. How they would move when he told them to but it felt like the world was waiting for his hands to move and for him to make a decision, about what his hands would do.

Werren clenched his fist he was really upset. Werren made a fist with his hand. This was because Werren was very angry, about something.

The feeling just went away. The sensation vanished.

The feeling of being uncomfortable was still there. The unease remained. It just would not go away. The unease was still bothering me.

What happened in the forest was not just something that he saw. It had an effect, on him. The forest thing did not hurt him. Scare him.. It did change things. Now the world is different when he is around. The forest thing changed how reality works when he is there.

He got ready. Walked out of his simple house on the edge of the City of Axiom. The City of Axiom was already up and, about. People were walking on the streets made of stone. You could hear their footsteps. Some people were selling things. They were shouting out what they had to sell. Little things that people do every day were happening around the City of Axiom.

Things seemed fine to me. Everything looked normal.

Too normal.

Werren was. He saw something that was not very clear. The ritual symbols on the city towers looked like they were not right. The lines that used to glow were now shaking a little like a signal that was about to stop working. The ritual symbols, on the city towers really did look unstable. Werren thought the glowing lines were trembling, like a signal that is going to collapse.

It seemed like no one else noticed this thing. No one else paid attention to the thing that was happening. The thing just seemed to go completely unnoticed, by everyone. No one else seemed to notice.

Werren did that. Werren is the one who actually did it.

Every ritual was like a rule that people made for chance. And now chance felt more free. It did not want to follow the rules much it wanted to make its own decisions. Every ritual was a command that people gave to chance. Chance was not listening to the rituals as much as it used to. Chance was making its choices and every ritual was just a thing that people did but chance was, in control of what really happened.

The man got to Axiom Academy when he was supposed to. He was right, on time when he arrived at Axiom Academy.

The main hall was filled with students. The demonstration that day was really simple. They showed how to make heat using a set of symbols. A small flame appeared in the air. It was nice and controlled.

Some students clapped for a while. A few students did this when they were happy, with what they saw. The students were showing that they liked what was happening by clapping. A few students gave applause.

Werren looked at the flame. He was really looking at the flame. The flame was what Werren was looking at.

Too long.

The Observer State was really getting to him. His chest felt tight all of a sudden. The flame was not burning right. It was not because he did something with the symbols. The problem was that the world was changing. The world was no longer doing what it used to do. The flame was unstable because of this. The Observer State and the flame were not working together like they should.

The flame was still. That was only because chance decided to go along with it. The flame kept going. That was due to probability still being, on its side.

For now.

“Werren.”

The voice of an instructor cut through the room.

The man asked "Do you see something in a calm voice but his eyes were really sharp when he looked at me.

The hall was completely quiet. The hall fell silent. It was like you could hear nothing all in the hall.

Werren raised his eyes. This was the moment he was waiting for. He knew what would happen if he did this. The consequences of his actions would be bad. Werren knew this. He still had to do it. He thought about what the consequences of his actions would be, for Werren.

The works he said in a soft voice but that is not because it is perfect. The ritual works because the world still lets the ritual happen.

Some students looked at each other. They felt really uncomfortable. The students exchanged glances. This made the students feel more uneasy.

The teacher looked really upset. "Saying that is not an idea " the teacher said. The teacher was talking about a statement that the teacher thought was very bad. The statement was dangerous.

Werren said that something is really bad when you think it will always be okay. He said "What is more dangerous is believing it will always work." So Werren thinks that believing something will always work is the thing that's really bad.

The air got really thick, with tension.

The teacher did not yell at Werren. That was actually worse. He just stopped the demonstration. Kept teaching the class.. Werren could feel it. People were now looking at Werren.

Not only from the instructor.

The Observer State shows up at any time of the day without giving any warning. The shadows that are at the edge of his vision do not move fast as they usually do. The sounds, around him become really sharp. It feels like he is hearing them from many different levels of reality. The Observer State is really something that just happens.

When the break came he went into a part of the academy library that people usually forgot about. In the back there was a bookshelf that most students did not touch. That is where he found the Reborn World manuscript. It was really old. Worn out. The Reborn World manuscript was, from a time ago and it looked like it had not been opened in years.

The book was not complete. A lot of pages were missing from the book. The book had missing pages.

One thing was really easy to understand: one line was completely clear and you could not miss it the meaning of the line remained unmistakably clear.

When you give probability much freedom, the laws of nature do not seem as important as they should be. The laws of nature are what tell us how things work. Probability is what happens when we do not know everything. So when probability has much freedom it is like the laws of nature are not, in charge anymore. The laws of nature and probability are both important. The laws of nature should come first because they are what make sense of the world.

Werrens heart was beating fast. Werren felt like his heart was going to jump out of his chest. This was happening to Werren because Werren was very scared.

This was not a warning.

It was a record.

A time ago someone figured out what the problem was.. They were not able to stop the problem. The problem is still here. Someone had tried to do something, about the problem. They did not succeed in stopping the problem.

As the sun started to go down Werren left the academy. The City of Axiom looked pretty just like it always does.. Underneath all that beauty Werren now knew that reality itself was getting weaker. The City of Axiom was still looking great. Werren was worried, about what was really going on. Reality was the problem. Werren knew that The City of Axiom was not as perfect as it seemed.

I am standing in a forest. The rituals that take place here are really inconsistent.. The Observer State is something that I have found gets easier to enter over time. The Observer State is a place that I can get to. It feels really easy now.

Everything in the world was connected to something. The internet was connected people were. Even things like trees and birds were connected to the earth. Everything was part of a system and it all worked together. The idea that everything was connected was really interesting to think about. Everything, including the earth and the people, on it was connected in some way.

Werren was right, in the middle of all this instability. He was just watching things for now. The situation was so bad that Werren might have to get involved and do something himself one day.

The man had no idea who would try to stop the man. He was still in the dark, about the people who would try to stop him. The man was going to do something. Someone was going to try to stop the man.

The cost of knowing something is not worth it either because the price that knowledge would demand is just too high. Knowledge would demand a lot from us.

But one truth was certain.

The world had started to ask questions, about itself after a really long time about four thousand years.

And Werren intended to answer.
