Cosmic Ruler

Chapter 635: Ambiguity XV

Jevan was the first to speak.

“The Narrator is gone. But the temptation to take their place remains. If we don’t bind the structure of how we proceed, someone will try.”

Murmurs followed. Some in agreement. Some not.

Elowen nodded slowly, running her hand along the rim of the shifting table. “We’ve seen what happens when one will controls all outcomes. We need a new order. A council of narrators. No longer one voice, but many.”

A being of ink and flame—the Remnant of a Neverborn Trilogy—rose. “But what of chaos? If we all speak at once, we speak nothing.”

Aiden finally lifted his head. His voice was quieter than ever. But everyone heard it.

“Then we must learn to listen.”

It would not be easy.

The Claimed demanded territory—storyspace to grow, mutate, contradict. The Unwritten wanted memorials, spaces where they could remember themselves without being reabsorbed into a larger canon. The Pact sought protection for the new worlds they had forged, sanctuaries free from intervention.

And the survivors of the old Multiverse? They simply wanted a page to stand on.

They argued.

They debated.

They nearly fractured.

But the war had taught them something vital.

They no longer needed to agree on every word.

They only needed to agree on the rules of engagement.

So the Rewrite Accord was born.
