Guide

Book of Genius – the Book was created in the prehistoric times and was a result of the collective mentality of the entire universe, born by the Preliminary Wisdom, when the Mind still roamed, while the forms of existence were absent. The book was alive and contained the entire universal wisdom. It predetermined the development of the entire universe. Every living specie of the Universe wished to possess the Book because it was authority itself, strength, and unlimited power at the same time. But as the story begins the Book has been silent for a long time, and only the Genius of the Book is destined to save the Universe from the Great Catastrophe and to make the book speak again.
