The sphere of knowledge
The end came silently, not with an explosion, but with the imminent exhaustion of the energy that gave life to the universe. The calculations were irrefutable: entropy was advancing without pause, consuming the stars until they were left in a state of coldness and death. Humanity, which had conquered the galaxy and mastered the laws of physics, was facing its final challenge: extinction.
For centuries, the most brilliant scientists and thinkers searched for a solution, but collapse was inevitable. They could not fight against the fate of the cosmos, but they could ensure that their existence was not forgotten. Thus one last project.
A perfect structure, built with materials unknown even to its own creators, capable of withstanding the passage of eons. Inside, it housed the entirety of human knowledge: history, science, philosophy, technology, art and culture. More than just a simple archive, it contained an artificial intelligence with evolutionary capabilities, designed to preserve, learn and adapt to any environment in which it might find itself.
With one last effort, the Archive was launched into the abyss of space, traversing unknown dimensions and realities, with one goal: to find a new home, a place where their knowledge could be passed on, where humanity could, in some way, be reborn.
Centuries, millennia, perhaps eons later, the Archive descended upon a different world. A world where magic was the essence that ruled life, where ancient civilizations fought for dominance over forgotten realms and impossible creatures sailed the skies and seas.
It was in this world that a young man, unknown to his own people, would find the greatest legacy of an extinct civilization. And with it, change the fate of everything he knew.
The age of magic was about to meet the lost knowledge of another world.
