Description

Entity 13HRP-0000, known as the Book of DeadGods, ranks among the most dangerous and reality-bending objects documented in the Hollow Reality Project. The Book of DeadGods defies normal description. Its cover feels like stone but bends like treated leather. The surface resists all attempts to mark or damage it, while black waves shift beneath it like a frozen ocean. Measurements of its thickness never match, with results ranging from a few centimeters to several meters. This inconsistency suggests the Book of DeadGods extends across several dimensions at once. Its pages look organic, resembling living skin, and they heal rapidly when torn, burned, or corroded, making destruction impossible.

Pagination and Text Shifts

The number of pages inside the 13HRP – 0000 – Book of DeadGods constantly changes. Some readers report two hundred pages, while others claim thousands. No account matches another. Researchers observe sections appear once and then vanish forever. The Book of DeadGods rewrites itself, as though it edits reality directly. Its text never stays stable. Unknown alphabets transform into diagrams, strange gods appear and fade, and lists of names with no history spill across the pages before disappearing. Readers often hear background sounds during these shifts: choirs singing notes beyond human hearing or silences so heavy they press against the body.

Cognitive Effects

Reading the Book of DeadGods harms the mind. Survivors speak in broken phrases such as “They drowned the stars to write the margins” or “Every god has a page, every page has a god.” Structured questioning always fails, because the Book of DeadGods erases memory and meaning. Symptoms include memory loss, repeating nightmares, and even physical trauma like fine cracks appearing along the spine. Some researchers argue the Book of DeadGods does more than erase—it rewrites identity, layering text over thought until nothing remains of the original person.

Environmental Effects

Speaking words aloud from the Book of DeadGods alters the environment. Mirrors break into web-like patterns and stop reflecting, instead showing skeletal forms of unknown gods. Metal becomes brittle and bone-like, while glass sweats black liquid before vanishing. The Book of DeadGods spreads mental infection as well. Readers grow obsessed with cataloguing, repeating: “They are pages. They are pages. Everything is a page.” This behavior suggests the Book of DeadGods does more than hold knowledge—it forces reality to rewrite itself as pages in an infinite archive.

Narrative Power

The Book of DeadGods manipulates narrative directly. Some passages describe anomalies not yet discovered, which later appear. Others recount past events with impossible precision. This raises the question: does the Book of DeadGods record the past, predict the future, or create what will happen? Some insist its words function not as descriptions but as commands—language that resurrects dead gods. The Hollow Reality Project warns that every recorded reading of the Book of DeadGods coincides with new unexplained events.

Ontological Bleed

Prolonged exposure causes identity collapse. Readers feel like both person and page, with words etching themselves into their skin. Some develop scars shaped like symbols recorded in the Book of DeadGods. The most extreme cases enter trance states and carve or tattoo others, claiming they must “add more pages to the archive.” In one case, an entire containment team etched phrases from the Book of DeadGods into walls before security restrained them.

Containment

Staff store the Book of DeadGods in a chamber that reshapes itself every hour to block familiar paths. Engineers built the chamber from alloys that resist both decay and dimensional collapse. Only those with the highest clearance may enter. Personnel burn all notes, transcripts, or copies immediately to stop further spread. Officials treat any unauthorized mention of the Book of DeadGods as a contamination risk.

Digital Resistance

Attempts to digitize the Book of DeadGods always fail. Systems generate 9,999 blank files labeled Reserved. Logs show network traffic from impossible sources during these attempts, which indicates that the Book of DeadGods manipulates digital systems to protect itself. Researchers also note that repeatedly typing its name can destabilize secure programs.

Observation Protocols

All readings of the Book of DeadGods require multiple observers. Readers must remain connected to biometric kill-switches so supervisors can terminate them immediately if obsession develops. Personnel undergo memory checks after even minimal exposure. Recurring dream changes lead to permanent quarantine. Reports emphasize that no one should read the Book of DeadGods alone.

Incident Note 0000-1

During one review, all text in the Book of DeadGods vanished. Every page turned blank except for a single line in black script:

“THE ARCHIVE IS NOT ENOUGH.”

At once, the facility suffered a thirteen-minute blackout. All power, air systems, and servers shut down. When systems restarted, surveillance from that period had vanished. Staff could not recall their actions. Whether the blackout erased or replaced that time remains unknown. The thirteen-minute duration mirrors other anomalies tied to the number thirteen, which strengthens claims of hidden connections.

Afterward, a new passage appeared on page 13 of the Book of DeadGods: “When the archive fills, the hands will turn the sky to paper.” Its meaning remains uncertain, though most believe it warns of catastrophic events. Several containment officers later reported recurring dreams involving the Book of DeadGods, in which entire skies folded into pages.

Addendum 0000-A: Theories of Origin

Theories about the Book of DeadGods differ widely. One group claims it is the last remnant of a lost people erased from history and memory, preserved only through this book. Another argues the Book of DeadGods serves as a prison that binds fragments of destroyed gods. A third believes the book writes itself endlessly, without author, feeding on reality to endure.

Other theories present even darker ideas. Some suggest the Book of DeadGods is itself a god, with shifting words as thoughts of a trapped mind too vast to grasp. Others claim it survives by consuming forgotten history, feeding on erased events to sustain itself. Another theory proposes that the Book of DeadGods is only one volume of a greater set, each scattered across dimensions, waiting to be joined.

Final Assessment

Despite ongoing debate, one point stays clear: the Book of DeadGods acts. Each page does more than inform—it alters the world. With every word, it reshapes the rules of reality and forces its archive to expand. To open the Book of DeadGods is not to read, but to participate in a process where forgotten gods press against the walls of reality, struggling to return.
