If you have arrived here, it is because you share the fundamental belief that the world, besides mind, is neural code. I want to welcome you to War of Magical Worlds, a saga that was not born of invention, but of an affirmation that I forged throughout my life.
I was born in San Cristóbal, Táchira State, Venezuela, a place where adversity is often the first lesson. Circumstances forced me to resort to full-time, low-paying jobs due to the pressing need for food. During that cycle, the thought of William Shakespeare became clear in my life: "What is a man, if all his time is to sleep and feed? Nothing but a beast." But amidst that struggle, I made a decision: not to let the artist inside me die.
My unyielding strength was not born of nothing. My true personal heroes are my mother and my grandparents. My mother, for her unshakeable faith despite adversity, her fire-tested honesty, and because she speaks her mind without pretense, even if it displeases her interlocutors. My grandfather, a voracious reader and radio soap opera actor, from whom I feel I inherited my artistic vein. And my grandmother, for that strength that always led her to face adversity with inexhaustible energy and conviction.
It was this familial conviction that also led me to admire the self-taught individuals of history. Figures like Socrates, who made wisdom a purely internal quest; Leonardo da Vinci, who forged his vast erudition through empirical observation; Henry Ford, who revolutionized industry without an engineering degree; Miguel de Cervantes, whose literary genius was born of voracious reading and life experience; and Themistocles, whose strategic genius came from his political and practical acumen.
They spurred me on a quest for self-discovery, to bypass the adversities of lacking honorary and academic titles that could justify the construction of this great work.
This work, therefore, is not just entertainment. It is a cosmogony (a tale of the universe's origin) where the philosophy that saved me is the same one that forges worlds: problems are the Hammer of God, and Chaos is the raw material waiting to be converted into conviction.
I invite you to immerse yourself in the first canto, CHANT I, available free at https://paragraph.com/@reydavidziriarte/. Discover how Doubt begot Unreason, and how Love became an inconstant force by divine decree. Ultimately, this entire epic narrative is a tribute to Yeshua, the Light that breaks through the Chaos and gives name to what does not yet exist. Here, your reading is not passive: your conviction is the validation of this new narrative.
Thank you for your interest. The debate of creation begins now.
