El Sharkawy sat at his desk, the glow of the monitor illuminating his face as he uploaded his 20th book. Years of dedication, knowledge, and power—contained in these pages. He leaned back, satisfied.

  "That’s it. My legacy is set."

  Then—KNOCK. KNOCK.

  A heavy, forceful knock echoed through the quiet room.

  Frowning, he stood up, adjusting his glasses. Weird… I wasn’t expecting anyone.

  He opened the door.

  SLASH!

  A sharp, searing pain pierced his chest. His breath caught. His vision blurred.

  Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

  Before him stood his boss, a smug grin on his face, gripping a glowing knife embedded deep in El Sharkawy’s chest.

  "You really thought I was gonna let you keep all that power, Sharkawy?"

  The moment the blade struck, a blinding shockwave erupted. His books—the very essence of his knowledge—began to glow and scatter into the void.

  SCATTERED ACROSS SEVEN UNIVERSES:

  Sakamoto Days – 2 books

  Solo Leveling – 4 books

  Jujutsu Kaisen – 2 books

  One Punch Man – 2 books

  One Piece – 2 books

  Naruto – 2 books

  Dragon Ball – 6 books

  El Sharkawy collapsed to the floor, his strength leaving him. His boss laughed, stepping back as the books disappeared into the multiverse.

  "Your knowledge, your power—it’s all gone. Let’s see you write your way outta this one."

  A distorted voice crackled from a phone. The real mastermind spoke:

  "Hah! El Sharkawy will never figure out that the first portal is at the location from his first book—"

  A pause.

  "Wait. Am I on speaker?! YOU IDIOT! END THE CALL!"

  Click.

  The fake boss froze. "...Uh."

  Despite his pain, El Sharkawy smirked. "Too late."

  Forcing himself up, he staggered toward the exit. His mind raced. "My first book…"

  Ancient Egypt. The pyramids.

  His first portal was waiting.
