["book_page1", "... three, or four words? Was it a complete sentence, or just a part? Was it spoken loudly, or whispered, or simply came to mind and vanished in a second?\n   Some are convinced that the Cause wasn't the words, but the music. The melody or the rhythm, forbidden to appear in the former Universe. Others believe it was the smell. We suggest the simplest hypothesis: it was a physical action, performed with material objects.\n   Whatever the Cause was, we did it. One of human beings, or few, or many... we will never know, probably. Immediately after we had done it, Unseen Forces punished us.\n\n   The ultimate feeling of doom and unforgivable mistake filled the soul of everyone on Earth. Adults, children, literally everyone had frozen like statuettes, and the silence was solid as rock. Many had died, scared beyond limits. Then, the Voices started to speak within our minds...\n   They told us how foolish we were to let the Cause happen. They never mentioned what it was, either. But it had been done, they said. Why? Was it dangerous to the very existence of the Cosmos? Was it dangerous to them? What exactly had we done? Few people dared to ask it loudly, and their bodies melted into pools of blood, with agonizing screams of incredible pain."],
["book_page2", "   Faster then the eye blinks, they moved our star Sun and our planet Earth to unknown universe, which is totally empty. There is nothing besides these 2 celestial bodies in this universe, our home from now till forever. Or... until we cease to exist. Unseen Forces told us: when the last human dies, the Sun and Earth will be moved back to the former Universe. Though there will be no planets from the good old Solar System, because when the Sun disappeared, its gravity disappeared as well, and the planets, including our satellite Moon, flew away.\n\n   It was the first half of Punishment. The second was in killing 80 % of human race, immediately after the teleportation to this universe. They, too, melted into pools of blood, screaming due to unimaginable pain. And not only they screamed; think of mother, seeing how her newborn child turns into a pile of distorted dead flesh, dripping with blood.\n\n   And the third half, of course. No, they didn't make us forget how to count. Instead, they changed the biochemical properties of the skin of those 20 % who survived... now, the single ray of sunlight ignites it like the dry paper, or dry leaves, and the body burns to ashes in few seconds. Screaming from pain, surely. The vampires of the children tales had this silly weakness."],
["book_page3", "   You see, even in this empty Space, the days could be very similar to the old times. The atmosphere scatters sunlight, and it has the same blue colour, sometimes azure or navy blue... Under the sky, there are mountains and forests, oceans and deserts; however, we can see them only at night. When the sky is clear, our loneliness in the emptiness becomes very evident, even to children, who have no idea of stars and Milky Way.\n   To say nothing of being imprisoned underground, in shelters, in rooms at daytime, like worms or rats.\n\n   In the following years, many more disasters, both natural and social, happened. States raised and fell in bloody wars. But Unseen Forces had gone, though they promised that from time to time, they'll revisit us and lessen our number again, to make sure we will never forget about the Cause.\n\n   We miss the former Universe. We miss the dream of flying to the stars someday, the feeling that someday the human's hand shall touch distant worlds and change them. Even push a tiny pebble on them. Those who were born in the Empty Universe don't care about such nonsense at all. But... what future do they have? Will they learn how to travel between universes, to return or go to the one with galaxies, stars, and planets?"],

["book_page5", "   ADDENDUM I. What you have just read is one of the most famous textual artifacts remained from Tenebrous Epoch. Its original version was found in old settlement's ruins on the western shore of the Southern Continent two centuries ago, and the stories it contains (referred to as «The Myth of Cause») quickly became known far outside the historians' circles. It was written more than 7000 years before the Awakening, at the times of Unnoox Empire's decline. Surprisingly, it's in Common Language, which is the reason why many historians consider it to be no more than a fake.\n\n   It is amusing that the mind of ancient people was in certain aspects very close to our own. To explain the calamities following the Empire's collapse they produced the stories like this one, where everything has a preternatural source (Unseen Forces, Voices, Cause etc.) You can guess it were the dark times, when the natural property of human body to burn in few seconds when exposed to sunlight is explained by «changing of biochemical properties by Unseen Forces». Another indication of this kind of thinking is numerous mentions of Stars, non-existent Sun-like objects on the Blackness, and the desire to «reach» them (???). Of course, the anonymous writer concludes, «for the bad things we have done the Stars were taken away from us»."],
["book_page6", "   You probably recalled Golden Age legends of our own culture, and we are going to discuss this similarity further. But before we begin, think of this: when the door hits your finger, don't you believe, for a moment, that all doors in the world are actually evil spirits, who have banished and replaced the truly friends of people, Good Doors?

["book_page7", "   AFTERWORD, by Krrpx-Ququz.\n\n   The «Analysis of The Myth of Cause» that you have just read is one of few texts we attribute to the rise of Medioceanum Civilization almost 9000 years ago, 3000 years after Awakening. It includes the copy of even more ancient document, «The Myth of Cause» (TMoC), which seemed to be popular among citizens of Medioc. Civ. despite suspicions that it had been made up and thus possessed no historical value. It is hard to say much about the authenticity of TMoC today; the authors of «Analysis ...» mention certain «Unnoox Empire» that existed from 20 to 19 thousand years ago... but such empire is completely unknown to modern researchers, no remnants of it were found. Simple calculations show that if we agree with authors of «Analysis ...», then TMoC appeared (or, strictly speaking, was known already) approximately 19000 years ago.\n\n   At old times, the human civilizations on our planet, The Only Planet as we call it, were very unstable: the history of Medioc. Civ. being a good example. Numerous superstitions and illusions occupied the minds of all people, with rare exceptions. From the heights of modern culture we may smile at those morons, though\n   <further inscriptions are covered with blood>"],
