Chapter 12: The Architect’s Code
The tremor stopped the Players in their tracks. It was as if someone—or something—was watching.

Theta narrowed her gaze at the nearest black hole. “Do you feel that? It's like… a whisper.”

Lambda, ever ambitious, smirked. “Maybe the Dark Architect is impressed. Maybe they’re jealous.”

Q, however, wasn’t so sure. He approached the black hole, extending his essence toward it. “No… I think this is a message.”

As Q reached further, the black hole pulsed, and for the first time, a pattern emerged from its event horizon. It wasn’t random. It wasn’t chaotic. It was a code.

The code revealed mathematical sequences, too complex to be a mere accident. These sequences described something that neither the Players nor their particles had ever achieved: self-organization.

Theta was the first to grasp it. "This… this is biogenesis! It's the blueprint for life, but not as we imagined it. It’s embedded in the fabric of dark matter and energy!"

Suddenly, the Players understood. The Dark Architect had been here long before them. The Architect hadn’t just mastered the cosmos—they had already mastered the origin of life. But their version of life wasn’t bound to atoms and molecules like the Players’ creations. The Architect’s life forms were woven from dark matter, invisible to the Players, existing in parallel to their universe.
