The Forbidden Question

CHAPTER 1: "The Forbidden Question"

---
Narrator:The clock read 11:23 a.m.Philosophy class buzzed like a distant hum.Kael barely blinked. His notebook held no notes—only one sentence, written in firm handwriting:
> “What if all the gods spoke the truth at the same time?”


The classroom was silent. No one noticed.Only the professor stared at him from the desk—arms crossed, one eyebrow raised.

---
Professor:(Voice sharp and dry.)— Kael.— Is that what you do in my class?
Kael (without looking up):— It’s not disrespect. I’m… thinking.
Professor (ironically):— Oh, thinking. Enlighten us, please.
Kael (lifts his head, eyes serious and hollow):— If all religions were true…then one of their gods would have to lie.And if one lies, then all could lie.
(Silence. Nervous laughter from some classmates.)

---
Narrator:The professor says nothing.Kael lowers his gaze again.In the corner of the page, he writes one word:
> Doubt.



---
SCENE 2 – Old library, same afternoon
Narrator:Kael walks alone through the old district.They say no one enters the Convent Library anymore.But Kael doesn’t listen to rumors.He follows a feeling… as if something was waiting for him.
The door creaks open. The smell: wood, dust, and dead time.In the back, a single table.And on it, one book:
> Codex Gnosis Dei


Black cover. No visible title.Only a symbol: a triangle inside a circle, with eyes at each vertex.
Kael opens it. The pages are blank—except one.Written in Latin, Greek, Arabic, and Japanese:
> “Whoever reads this and understands shall be the last to die.”


Kael (softly):— That makes no sense…
(He freezes. He feels something behind him.)

---
Narrator:A hooded figure watches from atop the shelves.It does not breathe. It does not speak.It simply is.

---
Figure (deep, otherworldly voice):— You believe in nothing…and that is why you can see everything.
Kael (cold):— Who are you?
Figure:— I am not.I observe.You are the error in the divine equation.
(And it disappears.)

---
SCENE 3 – Kael’s home, that night
Narrator:Kael starts seeing names floating above people’s heads:
> “Yahweh – Christian faith”“Huitzilopochtli – Mexica heritage”“Karma – Buddhist cycle”


But above his own head…Nothing.
> Void.



---
SCENE 4 – The next day, tragedy
A classmate commits suicide.The police find a note:
> “I said I was an atheist. They punished me.I saw it. It was the god I denied.”


Narrator:In his room, Kael finds a symbol marked on the wall:The name of the Hebrew God—written backward.
When he touches it, a vision takes over his mind.

---
VISION
A circle of thrones. In each seat, a god:Zeus, Jesus, Buddha, Shiva, Quetzalcoatl, Allah…
They argue. They want control.But they cannot act directly.They need humans.Representatives.
Kael was not chosen by any of them.That makes him invisible.Free.

---
FINAL SCENE
Kael, alone in his room, writing:
> “Hell does not exist.Only minds trapped in false ideas.”


He looks at the reader.
Kael (voice-over):— If the gods fear me…it’s because I was not born to obey.
