Paradox 17

Can you ever really know that the Universe you perceive exists? That you'll never awaken one day to find it was all a dream? A planet full of philosophers sought the answers to these questions once upon a time… shortly before they all vanished en masse. They left behind confusing records stating that the light of a “whirling star” revealed that physical matter had no substance and the Universe was secretly a mental prison. These records are all that remain from the first known encounter with the being known as Paradox 17.
