The 10th wizard

“The Mirror Void Opens”

“Power is not claimed. It is whispered into systems.”

--☁️ [00:00:00] — OPENING SCENE: THE BOY WHO NEVER EXISTED

Location: Japan — Unknown district, windowless room

Ambience: Rain. Neon flicker. Silence.

Visuals: Wide shot — a dim room cluttered with worn books, routers, half-eaten instant ramen. A single desk. On it: an old laptop, a blank notebook with only one word scribbled on the first page:

> "Erase.".

After sometime

A boy sits motionless, face dimly lit by the flickering screen.

He doesn’t blink. Doesn’t breathe loudly.

He is Null — the 10th Wizard.

> Narration (Null’s internal voice):

“I was born without name, face, trace.

My only truth is thought.

My only weapon — silence.

---

💻 [00:01:24] — THE CONNECTION BEGINS

The screen shows only code. A black console.

He types:

>> CONNECT TO: MIRROR VOID

>> Dynamic location masking: ENABLED

>> Neural sync initiated…

Suddenly the screen splits into ten fragments — each showing flickering symbols, static, coordinates from around the globe.

Nine usernames appear, slowly stabilizing:

[LUX] (Europe – Finance)

[PYRE] (UK – Media)

[OBLIVIA] (Tokyo – Memory tech)

[THORN] (USA – Politics)

[ZEIT] (Berlin – Temporal code)

[RAZE] (South Africa – Legal warfare)

[ECHO] (Brazil – Mass psychology)

[MIRE] (Egypt – Religious structures)

[SHADE] (China – Surveillance systems)

> Terminal Voice:

“Final node identified… initializing codename: NULL

Welcome to the Mirror Void — where names die, and worlds obey.....

🕯️ [00:03:00] — DIGITAL INITIATION

One by one, the wizards speak — voice-only, distorted and coded.

> [PYRE]: “He finally logged in.”

[THORN]: “He’s late.”

[ZEIT]: “Or precisely on time.”

[SHADE]: “Let him speak.”

Null leans forward, voice quiet but clear:

> NULL:

“There’s no such thing as late.

Only arrival... after misdirection.”..

A pause. A single beep. Approval...

📜 [00:04:12] — THE COVENANT OF THE VOID.

The screen flashes ten lines in bright violet text. A digital oath:

> The 10 Codes of the Mirror Void

1. Be unseen.

2. Speak in signals.

3. Influence, not control.

4. Never meet.

5. Destroy all mirrors.

6. Guard your codename.

7. Abandon origin.

8. Break routine.

9. Leave no thought behind.

10. If one is exposed, vanish all.

The others whisper the words in unison.

Null remains silent — he already memorized them the moment they appeared.

> [OBLIVIA]: “He doesn’t repeat.”

[ECHO]: “He doesn’t have to.”

[MIRE]: “He already lives them.”

---

🕳️ [00:05:44] — SILENT LEADERSHIP

> [RAZE]: “Null, your domain is...?”

NULL: “Information flow. Psychological drift. The thought before the act.”

[SHADE]: “He’s not a tool. He’s the gravity field.”

[LUX]: “Then let him curve us.”

--------- -----------

Unspoken — they follow him.

Though no leader was ever named… Null now orbits the center of the Void.

---

⚠️ [00:07:10] — THE FIRST DISTORTION

Suddenly — screen glitch.

[ECHO]’s connection stutters.

For exactly 0.7 seconds, the following flashes:

A real face on camera — blurred but terrified.

Blood on lips.

A scream cut short.

Static.

Silence.

Then: [ECHO - OFFLINE]

> [THORN]: “Echo— respond.”

[PYRE]: “Connection loss?”

[SHADE]: “Or breach.”

But Null does not speak.

He replays the glitch.

Frame by frame.

He sees something the others miss:

> A handprint. A reflection. A physical trace. Exposure.

He opens a hidden file:

> “THE BLACK CODEX”

Types:

"ECHO is the first fracture. The Void is bleeding."

----------------

🌧️ [00:09:50] — NULL MOVES AGAIN

Null shuts the terminal. Picks up a packed backpack.

Multiple passports

A USB drive marked: “C0G1T0”

A steel pen filled with microfilm

And a photo... not of him. Of a man he’s never met — but must find...

He walks out into the Tokyo rain.

Disappears into a crowd.

One blink — and he’s gone.

> Narration (Null):

“The Mirror Void was perfect. But perfection is loud in the realm of silence.

One has been exposed.

Nine remain.

And I… I have five months left.”
