I do not know what happened to my own world, but I would ask that nobody visits Floor Twenty-Five, for now. I'll be headed there after I make this entry.

[ He has heard that it will always appear that way; peaceful spring weather, with a pretty meadow. Maybe then, if he stays there... his magic won't affect it. Hey, it was worth a try. ]

I don't wish to introduce myself. It is better if nobody here knows who I am, or what I am. Though if anyone encounters a book in either of the libraries titled 'The Book of Zeref,' tell me. I will dispose of it. I may be the only one here who knows how.

✒ action, floor twenty-five

[ And sure enough, there he is, later. He's kneeling in a small clearing, staring down at a certain white flour. The flower was oddly resilient. It wasn't wilting, wasn't turning black and crumbling to dust just from being near the Black Wizard. But isn't that how it always is? ]

Our world... destroyed.

[ He whispered to nobody in particular, feeling tears threaten to roll down his cheeks. He picked the small flower, ripping the stem between his fingers. It immediately wilted, the petals shriveling up and falling off, with the stem becoming coarse and rubbery. Zeref simply dropped it where it was. ]

Was it me? Was it Acnologia? [ Again, asking nobody in particular. ] I guess it doesn't matter. Maybe it was better off, after all.

{{ OOC: Zeref's magic makes it dangerous (and possibly deadly) just to be near him, so naturally, a permissions post was mandatory. }}

It could be too tempting for someone to try learning its contents.

Understandable.

Other than the title, what does it look like?

It will be impossible to miss. I will leave it at that.

Understood. If I find it, I'll post to the network.

If I know your name, I could filter it to you.

It is best if nobody knows my name, for now.

Understood.

As for your world, if you're here, then it's destroyed. Every residents here was brought here when their home worlds got destroyed.

I have very little difficulty believing that.

[ Especially if Acnologia was involved. ]

[Huh, interesting. Since most people aren't so easy to believe. Whatever happened in this guy's world, it must be big enough for him to believe this.]

Then I won't have to convince you about that. Most people have difficulties believing it at first.

Any questions?

Only why I was spared of my world's destruction, when I am the least deserving of it.

According to the admins, it was random. You're just lucky enough to be picked first.

I might be, but I can't say the same for the others.

Yes. Since they said they save one person from each world. If you see your friends, they're technically from another world.

That doesn't make any sense.

[ He's heard only a little bit about Edolas, though from what he HAS heard, that can't be the case here. ]

The different worlds explanation apply to your own world. For example, two versions of your world would be the same, but there could be one difference.

Even if that difference is a friend being saved from their ruined world instead of you.

I admit, that is a difficult concept to believe.

[ But it does make sense... in a way. ] Then the others from my world aren't necessary the ones that I am familiar with?

Correct. They're still the people you know, but you would have to talk to them if you want to find any differences.

[Even if they end up as something incredibly minor.]
