[Record Restored Successfully: #001]
[Sacrifice Log I:003]
We finally met the quota.
He lay there, silently.
—1761 infant left legs, 624 hearts of virgin girls.
—Ritual completion rate: 100%.
Praise the ceremony. Initiate the ritual.
May the Black Star rise as normal.

[Sacrifice Log I:004]
We attempted communication.
Records show he retains full memory—he remembers every word we said, every detail he witnessed, without omission.
Stranger still, he appears capable of reconstructing his own existence. Self-repair? Self-design?
But he is a creation. We refuse to teach him any ritual knowledge.
May the Black Star rise as normal.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
[Sacrifice Log I:007]
He should not exist.
His shifting memory, form, and essence all violate the "Law of Equivalence" in ritual science.
We cannot understand him.
We admit—he was born from our pursuit of the “biological limit.”
But he has surpassed comprehension—and necessity.
Nomination: None Observable eXampler.
Code: N.O.X.
Continue monitoring.
May the Black Star rise as normal.

[Sacrifice Log I:014]
Confirmed: N.O.X is an irrational existence.
Action: Expulsion, to be cast beyond the borders of civilization along with the other "failures."
May the Black Star rise as normal.

[Sacrifice Log P:002]
“There are too many of ‘us.’”
Food and materials are no longer balanced.
—400 adult eyeballs.
—300 complete human corpses.
—Used for general food ritual.
Resources abundant. As history records, we’ve never lacked. Never failed.
Proposal: Each household performs a birth ritual. Material requirements:
—1 adult male body part.
—1 adult female body part.
—Yield: 1 newborn material unit.
Praise the ceremony. Execute the ritual.
May the Black Star rise as normal.

[Sacrifice Log P:010]
New policy enacted. Material output significantly improved.
Current material reserves have returned to “sufficient.”
May the Black Star rise as normal.

[Sacrifice Log X:004]
New ritual stage requires more materials than expected.
After two rounds, results fell short of target.
Updated proposal:
—Mandatory four birth rituals per household.
—Parents must undergo the Growth Ritual to stimulate new material.
Note: Growth Ritual consumes parents’ bodies and heads.
High completion rate. Low residual value.
—In other words, parents will not survive.
Two complete units → Four complete units. Optimal cost efficiency.
Ban interference from other rituals. All materials will be managed by us.
May the Black Star rise as normal.

[Sacrifice Log X:007]
Current ritual material need: thousands.
Production efficiency: still below target.
Decree 004 increased supply speed.
Exponential growth stabilizing.
Current experimental fusion units: can only maintain three-body state, unstable.
Target: four-body fusion stability—not yet achieved.
May the Black Star rise as normal.

[Sacrifice Log X:031]
Quota achieved.
—46,762 finger joints.
—700 infant eyeballs.
—6,000 virgin girl hands.
—57,824 complete corpses.
Final fusion ritual initiated.
I can feel my body dissolving, merging, fusing with others.
This is the moment of fulfillment—we shall become one.
That is… N.O.X, and the other failures?
Their bodies… aren’t dissolving.
The ritual… rejected them.
Good.
They are not us.
They are... not... us...
Wait.
Whose thought was that?
Who is speaking?
It’s not me.
Not me...?
I’m not me? I’m not... I I I I I.....

[The Black Star has risen, but none remain to witness its brilliance, and N.O.X cannot be classified as "human"]
