I recently finished If on a winter's night a traveler. It involves the Reader (you) trying to read various books, being unable to continue due to some various circumstances, and accidentally stumbling upon another even more gripping book when trying to track down the original. So a large part of it involves you reading the text of these stories within this story.
While most of it isn't worthy of discussion for indexing, one of the stories-within-the-story involves a character and an organization capable of erasing most of the universe from existence, and able to recreate it, as well as being immune to the EE of others with the power. How would profiles for this be treated, and could they be made?
A handful of relevant facts:

A handful of relevant facts:
- The greater narrative doesn't have much notable for indexing. It has an athletic human with martial arts training, and a sage who knows all of the world's stories, but nothing more than that, and just that wouldn't be enough.
- The story that's being read isn't an existent lower realm, like in some other series we index here. It's just a piece of fiction that the protagonist reads with no corresponding realm.
- The story-within-a-story in question is only 9 pages long, Out of the 260-page book, that's 3.5% of the greater novel's content.
