Aboard the Ark, humanity's last survivors flee a dying Earth. Their final hope is a living artifact known as the 'Ghost Rock', which connects with the minds of the crew. The ship encounters a cosmic entity, the Void, a being of perfect logic that threatens to unmake all of existence. The crew's initial strategy to combat it is to amplify their collective "human noise"—the chaotic sum of their thoughts, emotions, and memories. However, the Void adapts, weaponizing the crew's deepest regrets and fears against them, forcing a change in strategy. In a final, desperate gambit, the crew projects a new, paradoxical song—a harmony of their love and despair. This illogical truth resonates with the Void, shattering its perfect logic. The entity does not perish; instead, it merges with humanity's song. The Ark Supreme and its crew are transformed, becoming a new, paradoxical being. This being, now a "god of paradox," begins to reshape the cosmos, ensuring humanity's survival as a new, fundamental part of the universe's fabric.

A brand new semester has come for the young wizard, Cyclone White. This time around, the students of Magic Administration class has invited White and six others to test out a special experiment together with everyone in their class. The test features the latest technology of the magic and science world, The Virtual Dive. White dives into a different adventure as he now enters the virtual world of Virtue. Players or participants of the virtual world are the lords of Virtue and their goal is to conquer Virtue under a single banner. White and the other six adventurers will be the deciding few who will decide the fate of the war-torn land of Virtue.

This is the 5th and final book of The Infinitum Crystals series. New readers are recommended to at least start on Book 2 / The Snow Phoenix. After the events of the ending of Book 4 / The Conquest of Virtue, the main characters finally confronts the main organizations that have been stalking them since their appearance in Book 1 / The Magic Duel. It all comes full circle as old characters will finally interact with current ones as they all assemble together to fight against a common enemy that threatens the future of the land of Atia.

Read at your own risk! Gonna rewrite this soon

[Backrooms] + [Cunning Survival] + [Exploration] + [Uncharted Levels] + [Plot-Driven] + [No Plot Armor] --- The air hums with the static of flickering yellow lights. Damp carpets reek of mildew underfoot. Walls stretch endlessly in a maddening monotony of sickly beige—a prison of decaying déjà vu. This is the Backrooms. If you’re reckless enough to clip through reality in the wrong places, you’ll end up here. Pray you never hear something shuffling nearby—because if you do, pray it didn’t hear you too. It started in July 2019. A grainy photo posted on an obscure forum, captioned: “Stuck here. Send help.”Replies flooded in. People claimed to have dreamed of this liminal nightmare. Worse—some swore they’d found real-world overlaps: a circular factory in Nara, Japan; fog-choked woods in California; a stretch of Florida coastline… all eerily mirroring the Backrooms’ architecture. Could it be real? I laughed it off—until the day I stumbled into it myself.
