The Recital of Character Zero

"Know nothing. See nothing. Be nothing. Forget everything that you think you know of this reality where you now exist. Only then can the Nilverse fulfill its purpose to you." CK may hold the esteemed position of salutatorian, yet this did not shield her from the Institute of the Nonaphrontistery's trial, accusing her of unethical practices in achieving her thesis. Initially, people thought this would be the most challenging phase of CK's life as a wordsmith. However, the trial's outcome was merely a prelude to what was yet to come. After all, why limit oneself to a single world when the Empire spans across countless realms within the Vast Expansion? This is a place where fairytales form the foundation of noble society; where systems respond to the ambitious but do not deem them exceptional. This is a place ruled by a singular empire, and where a page of history is questioned during an era of peace. This place is not just a story, but a journey beginning with a trial before Knowledge herself. Come, bear witness, and applaud the recital that is about to unfold! *** Prologue: The introductory volume. Schools are meant to nurture and protect their students. But when a school turns against one of its own, does this signal the student's downfall? For CK, probably not. Instead, it provides an excuse to do things previously forbidden.
