Welcome to my World.​SubscribeShareConnect Wallet/ 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."Note: I am the boy standing next to my grandfather. My mother is the one in the center (I had to add her with AI because I didn’t have any photo where she appeared together with my grandparents). The one standing closest to my grandmother is my brother."​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. ​(David Gilberto Iriarte)
