Greetings to the seekers of knowledge,
⠀
We are the Guardians of Avalon — an ancient order that has existed in the shadows for centuries. Our mission is not to hoard secrets but to test those who dare to claim they possess wisdom.
⠀
In this digital age, we have discovered a new way to challenge minds. Our trial begins with a simple command, yet it leads to a labyrinth of literature and code.
⠀
Step 1: Scan or type this into your terminal (Termux/Linux):
⠀echo -n '6879726f6e6574' | xxd -r -p && echo "Dostoevsky"
⠀
(Note: This is a safe Linux command that will output two words.)
⠀
Step 2: Decode the literary clue hidden within these words. It requires you to delve into Russian classics and understand how their characters intersect with modern cryptography.
⠀
Step 3: Use the initials of a protagonist from one of the greatest novels as a key to unlock our final cipher.

Where to post answers: You don't need to register anywhere. Share your solutions on any popular platform such as Telegram, Discord, or even create a video on YouTube. However, the main collection point will be right here, in the comments under this post. Anonymous submissions are welcome.
⠀
Our goal is not to recruit followers, but to find kindred spirits — those who can bridge the gap between humanities and technology. If you succeed, you will prove yourself worthy of understanding how the past illuminates the future.
