by the axiomist
In a world where magic defines reality, one boy was born without it. The moment Null entered the world, magic itself vanished—if only for a few seconds. From that day forward, anything supernatural ceased to exist within two meters of him. Declared a devil and feared as a disaster, the prince was abandoned by his own kingdom and raised among society’s outcasts. For eighteen years, Null believed he was simply defective. Until the night everything changed. When royal knights attack and their enchanted weapons dissolve near him, the truth emerges: Null isn’t powerless — he is the denial of magic itself. His ability, AXIOM, rejects anything that defies real-world logic, creating an unavoidable two-meter domain where supernatural laws collapse. After tragedy destroys the only home he ever knew, Null leaves behind his past and encounters Leo, a mysterious boy who falls from the sky and claims not to belong to this world at all. But they are not alone. Unknown beings who call reality a system begin watching them. To these entities, Null is a “virus,” Leo an “unregistered file,” and their existence threatens the structure of the world itself. As kingdoms fall, reality fractures, and the boundary between logic and magic begins to break, Null must confront a terrifying truth: What if the world itself is wrong? And what happens when reality’s greatest rule… cannot be turned off? Because within two meters of Null— Only truth can exist.
