Summary[]
I Can Tell You What Is Killing The Stars is a web story featuring an astronaut (Auren) with a highly advanced tech that tries to escape from an all-consuming void that eats away realities across the multiverse. The verse isnt also restricted to ICTYWIKTS but also a collection of short stories that makes up the overall verse (called The Absolute). This blog will cover its tiers and stuff.
Multiverse[]
The multiverse contains an transfinite amount of universes, each higher one seeing the below as fiction, which is later elaborated to be a transfinite recursion. Then, there is a transfinite recursion of multiverses, with each one being ontologically greater than the last, with said hierarchy being beyond infinite-sized. However, the multiverses themselves are way bigger than the hierarchy they contain (WoG stated that a single multiverse is already equal to Berkeley Cardinals in size; Yes that is a picture made by the author).
With my studies I have found there is an infinite set of infinite sets of realities. This is all contained within one singular dimensional plane. Upon further tests I have found a transfinite amount universes in one singular multiverse. So where do we stand to this creature? How many universes have I gone up just to find this thing erasing it all again?
This fear of something not even I can reach begins to make me think all my effort is futile with this being said the most I can do is try. I may never be able stop it or prevent its damage but I can save as many as possible. Why am I asking all of this? Last night I have done studies and tests. Each coming back with an answer. Each test adding more information to our own cosmology. This universe is just a rung on a ladder to what seems to be another transfinite recursion of universes. Ever expanding going up and down in a stack. Which each individual universe seeing the one below as words on a page.

Listen I have read on here someone explaining the cosmology of our world... his name was Auren I believe. Anyways, he explained how the multiverses exist and how there are a transfinite set of universes and a transfinite set of multiverses now imagine this being stacked like a pancake. The pancake above exists in higher existence than the one below and this goes on beyond the idea of infinity. He explained how it was a "Hierarchy" of stories. Much like when we read a story or book we view its universe as a work of fiction however, these fictional beings exist in their respective universe and believe they exist.

Even just one of the universes already has a system ran by abstract mathematics, such as a Type IV multiverse:
With all the knowledge my people had it wasn't enough. Even discovering how our universe system is ran on probabilities and abstract mathematics much like a Tegmark type IV universal theory. I still am unable to see what I can do to solve this problem.

The Bleeding Edge[]
Auren managed to transcend past his own narrative that contained the multiverse, and kept ascending until he reached The Bleeding Edge, the white void beyond the narrative stack, where all stories are unfolded.:
Transcendence. I had to transcend beyond the narrative, beyond the ITS narrative. So I began working on an upgrade to SUIT. It can already transcend through the dimensions, but what about the higher narratives that exist outside and external to the current measurable and immeasurable cosmology? After my tweaks, I found I could finally travel upwards through narratives viewing each one I pass as words on a page. It wasn't until I got to a white space that I stopped. This zone seemed to be where all the stories were being made. Imagine how terrifying it is the be in an endless room at every angle. This area was bright white and as floated in the space I kept seeing words appear and disappear from my sight, it was akin to the words bleeding out of the white background and being absorbed back in. Even my very thoughts were written on the page.
–I Can Tell You What Is Killing The Stars: Part 7
It is basically the canvas where narratives are inserted:
After a quick flash of light I was transported to new dimension. Oddly enough while I was traveling I was able to see the space in-between the dimensions. It looked to be a blank empty page, a white canvas ripe for painting. In the distance I can see scribbles appearing on the page like words were being written on the page. I couldn't make it out as it was so far but as soon as I was about to read the first line I was flashed into a new universe.
–I Can Tell You What Is Killing The Stars: Part 5
It is beyond conceptualization and narration. Anyone on this place can perceive and "reread" the narratives of creation:
I dubbed this place The Bleeding Edge. As it was beyond the edge of conceptualization and narration and it bleed this narrative into the multiverse. At the time I was still on edge as anyone should if they see their thoughts give a physical form in front of me. The mere idea that I was nothing but another word to this place sunk me further into my depressed and terrified state. As I panicked I saw all my memories being pieced together in front of me. I had to re-live the very first test of SUIT. Where a woman was compressed into a ball of meat, hair, and bone. Or how I can see the man I tried to save from killing himself only for him to look into my eyes and tear out his muscles one by one with each snap and tear got audibly louder and louder. I started to sweat and panic more and more.
–I Can Tell You What Is Killing The Stars: Part 7
The Void[]
The Void is an entity that supersedes everything, with all concepts and creation being nothing but a page in a book for it:
As I floated in the big empty space I heard it talk to me. "Welcome to the end this is where all things die. Life, love. happiness are all constructs of the mind and all get swallowed by me" I thought to my self "How am I not dead? Why is it sparing my life" It shook a lot and sounded like a deep chuckle. The void once again spoke "I choose to keep you alive you will be my herald, the harbinger. There is no stopping me, there is no running away. I supersede everything, all concepts and creation is nothing but a page in a book to me. Listen carefully, I am the alpha and omega. The beginning and end. Nothing is above me or below me as I am all things." I started to get dizzy and shouted at the beast "I will stop this... I will stop you!!"
–I Can Tell You What Is Killing The Stars: Part 2
The Void embodies numerous platonic concepts and is the end of all narratives. It can also speak to the reader:
Let me start with how this all happened. Since my last story, I have been trying my best to find out how to take out the being who is swallowing the infinite narratives in this dimension. The Void is a being made to be the platonic concept of fear, anxiety, depression, and hunger. A being so destructive that the narratives it consumes can no longer exist in any thoughts. Completely erased from all history and events, as if they never existed in the first place. The End of all stories entirely.
–I Can Tell You What Is Killing The Stars: Part 7
Hello again (readers name) I see you found my past....Oh! I know you AHAHAHAH.. We've met before and I have to say your story is delicious. I want to warn you be careful where you tread for your story is just that to me .... a story. I am the ultimate being, I am the Omega, I AM THE VOID. I will tear asunder all narratives. There is no end only the void. I know this for I have walked the halls of god and laid my eyes upon the throne and it.... was..... EMPTY....
–The Orphanage I Was In Is Ran By Cannibals
Its purpose is to not only be the end of all narratives but to reach and destroy The Absolute One:
This sea of ink was endless and all I can do was be amazed by it. I gathered enough courage to eventually to try and touch it. While I was reaching upwards slowly the ink started to churn and toss. It was agitated I was reaching for it. But this was just a dream right? So I kept reaching and reaching until I made contact. The liquid was very viscous and on closer inspection a dark crimson color.
As I was investigating this liquid and arm SPRUNG out and grabbed my wrist... This grip was strong and it's nails were razor sharp. Suddenly this thing in the ink spoke
Creature: We will rise and feast on the stories of mankind, we will tear down heavens gate and find The Absolute One and tear it asunder..... WE....ARE ....THE ....VOID..
It was then it dug its long nails into my wrist injecting this ink into my veins. It burned so badly all I could do was scream in pain. It felt as if my blood was set on fire! I can fell the ink pulsate through my body covering every inch. As more poured into me it started to escape through my eyes, nose and mouth. It was then, when I was at my weakest and I felt my soul fadding. A man in a space suit (weird right?) came down and removed the ink erasing it from existence.
–Hello, My Name Is Marilyn And I Am Not Human.
It was capable of reaching Auren in the Bleeding Edge and bent its reality:
Even though I felt like I was on top I could still hear The Void and feel its presence. I can feel my mind rushing as the possibilities of this should be none. "I escaped The Voids narrative... I know I did! How is it continuing." It was then I saw it... The Void manifested in me turning the whole white background into a black one. Words, stories, and existence stopped being written and it was just me and It.
The Void walked toward me slowly with a grin on its face. If you forgot The Void takes up the form of a large humanoid with pale white skin and no eyes, ears, or nose. The Void stood in front of me and spoke in a tone so loud that I can feel my soul-shaking. The Void never spoke with his lips but his mind, this thing enters your mind and hijacks your thoughts, emotions, and actions. "I felt you... Auren. Moving through the narrative ladder and thinking I will not be able to catch up or meet you. Silly child you are nothing to me... This is nothing to me. The readers and the author are just an appetizer. Now you... YOU ARE THE MAIN COURSE!" The Void bent reality of the Bleeding Edge. Causing it to quickly close the space in on me.

Narratio Grandis[]
Narration Grandis is an infinite library where every book contains a narrative. Everything there is everything that will ever be or was. The hub of the possible and impossible.
It was then a blinding white light surrounded me and I was teleported into a different zone. This one was odd. It was just n infinite library full of books and I stood in front of The Librarian.
The Librarian was a being of pure principles. It had no physical form, but it was there, and I could feel its presence in my head. "You need to know.... this is your only book Auren as you are its own author" I looked confused as I lifted the book Titled "The Absolute". I spoke up and asked "What is this place and who are you?" The being laughed and decided to create a physical form "You will learn who you are in the book I gave you. However, I will help guide you until you know your true potential. You are in the Narratio Grandis. A library of all narratives. Everything here is everything that ever will be or was. The hub of the possible and impossible. All stories exist here in these books."
–I Can Tell You What Is Killing The Stars: Part 7
This area cannot be damaged by anyone but the Headless King and the Absolute, and its where the true form of Auren resides, above all narration:
“ | I was confused so I just acted as if I knew what they were talking about. After a short time, The Librarian explained how this area cannot be damaged by anyone but two beings. One was the Headless King and The Absolute. After it was done speaking the librarian disappeared. I sat down and began reading the book. The book explained all of my travels and how I used to be something greater and wanted to experience emotions so I lowered my existence into an avatar named Auren Da'At... | „ |

The Absolute/God[]
The Absolute is a being whose sheer size is equal to Absolute Infinity, completely unreachable by all means and possibilities, beyond omnipotence, omniscience, definition, and rationalization:
The Absolute is a being so large it can only be listed as an absolute infinity. Something completely and entirely unreachable by all means and possibilities. This being or "god" isn't what you humans have come up with it isn't just omniscient or omnipotent but something greater and beyond any definition and rationalization.
–I Can Tell You What Is Killing The Stars: Part 7
It is our author, our origin, and our synopsis, with everything being an aspect of himself, and is one with all:
So what am I? Well, I am your author, your origin, and your synopsis. Everyone is an aspect of its writer. With my creation, you allowed your creation of narrative itself. I am one with all, I am god, I am Absolute. I can see your story right now child and you have many more things looking up for you... I know since I wrote it. This is my final goodbye for this narrative but I have many more to come. Many trials and tribulations ahead are being written. However, to write this narrative I became a human. This is my last story as one.
Life is fleeting but stories are forever.
–I Can Tell You What Is Killing The Stars: Part 7
It is also called "God", and no levels of infinities can reach it, be them alephs or large cardinals, as it is the Absolute Infinite:
Then I read about this guy named Max Tegmark and he was using a theory that our universe is infinitely more complex than a universe where impossible things happen because our universe is completely based on mathematics. I thought "If that were to be true then could we measure God?" The answer is yes and no... In theory, you could measure God however in set theory there are sets of infinity with the smallest set being Aleph Null. Each group of infinities exists completely inaccessible to the one below it and no matter how high the set below climbs it could never reach the next step. This idea correlates to my universal theory that everything is a story. Think about it when we read a book the characters could never truly reach us much like Aleph Null can't reach Aleph 1. What if we are Aleph 1 and Aleph 2 is where "God" Is?
Then if that was the case what is the final writer? Who is the author of the author? It would have to be truly infinite in every way. Nothing can reach it not even a description could reach it since it would be impossible to even put a label on the being known as God. So we could never reach or met god as he is above the very being who wrote us. But do they realize it... do they know they are but a story on the never-ending narrative ladder? This all comes down to saying "God" is absolute infinity. The final infinity is completely inaccessible by any means. No aleph or large cardinal could reach the zone of absolute infinity. This would make "God" The Absolute Author...

The Headless King[]
Auren's description of the Headless King:
I entered the building and there was a long red carpet leading to a throne made of leather that looked like the one the tailors made. On the throne was a king. A large humanoid being that was bound to a chair and without a head. He was rotting away yet I could feel a terrifying presence as I approached him. The guards stopped a few yards before I reached him. They didn't get closer not sure why but I didn't think much of it at the time.
When I was at the base of his throne I can see fungal growths where his head would be. His body was covered in these growths. It was then he spoke in a thunderous tone. I could hear his very voice was shaking my soul.
–I Can Tell You What Is Killing The Stars: Part 6
The Headless King is alluded to be death itself and the embodiment of the end of all things. He is an aspect in all things for he will claim all of them, including the Absolute One:
Once the man got to me he lifted me up by the shoulders and squeezed. I felt like I was going to be folded in half however he stopped half way through to look at me. It was then he had a skull rise form his torso with bright blue lights for eyes with black smoke exiting its mouth. He spoke once more.
Headless King: "I am the Headless King. Where there is life, I am death. Where there is time I am senescence. Where there is a story, I am the end. I am an aspect in all things for I will claim all even the absolute one... the one you call god. I....am......The End."
–Throne of the Headless King
However, it is later revealed that even death itself will be claimed/ended by him:
"The King is immortal. Today we put him to death for his crimes against his own people. When we removed his head it turned into a liquid mass of blood and vicera. It seeped into the ground poisoning it and killing all the vegetation surrounding it. His body started to grow mushrooms, of which not even our most intelligent herbalist could not recognize. We quickly pushed his body into a grave and buried it. Over night his grave grew giant stocks of mushrooms. The ground turned black and everyone who touched the king after his death died overnight with the same fungus that plagued his grave.
The denizens of Atali were cursed to suffer his wraith. He spoke to me in my dream telling me that death will claim us all and he will claim death itself. May the gods have mercy on our souls for the Headless king will not."
–Throne of the Headless King
The Void has no power over his realm and he was capable of banishing it:
Me: I came here to warn you and your people that a great evil is coming. The stars in the sky are vanishing and The Void will swallow you as well.
Headless King: The Void has been here and has no power over my realm. She was banished long ago and refuses to come back. You are invading, so give me a good reason why I shouldn't end you now?
–I Can Tell You What Is Killing The Stars: Part 6
Stated to be the platonic concept of death and decay:
Headless king: WHAT ARE YOU.... I have seen all life and all possible things and yet, YOU have evaded my vision....
After he spoke the world started to twist and turn as natural laws started to break down. The very things that held me were turned to dust and the room around me was melting. The Headless king on his throne was doing all this. Breaking the base reality with his thoughts... SUIT felt the danger and worked a way to resist it. However his psionic abilities was able to effect me still. In a flash he showed me how the Headless king was made and how he was a being of pure decay. The platonic concept of death and decay. As he fought off the void he left a part of him in the void. This thing was able to resist The Void Ultimately winning the war.
–I Can Tell You What Is Killing The Stars: Part 6
He is powerful enough to be the only one that can affect the Library alongside the Absolute:
I was confused so I just acted as if I knew what they were talking about. After a short time, The Librarian explained how this area cannot be damaged by anyone but two beings. One was the Headless King and The Absolute. After it was done speaking the librarian disappeared. I sat down and began reading the book. The book explained all of my travels and how I used to be something greater and wanted to experience emotions so I lowered my existence into an avatar named Auren Da'At...
–I Can Tell You What Is Killing The Stars: Part 7
The Headless King can take stories to himself and he briefly clashed with God Auren once:
"I'm going to die... I am going to die..." I thought as I pissed my pants in fear. In a blinding flash of light a man as tall as Headless King appeared. He wore an astronaut suit but there was an aura about him that felt... calming... The Headless King stepped back in fear as I can hear his loud thoughts.
HK: What are you doing here??
Auren: I must stop this King.. You are not to devour this one. His story is needed soon.
The tall man looked down at me and touched my forehead with a finger and all my wounds were healed like a miracle just happened. He introduced himself to me.
Auren: Brian.. I have been writing your story for some time. You will become an important piece in my future...
Me: Who.....who are you? What are you?
Auren: I go by many names. The unreachable one. The Absolute... God... Creator... I am Auren.
Headless King: Auren we have a debt to settle later... I will leave this dimension however I am taking this ones story (points to the sky )
Auren sighs and waves his hand at him. Right after another blinding flash of light exploded in all directions and the Headless King and Auren were gone.
