    $\begingroup$ This is how it looks to me. Extreme steganography. Loved the puzzle and the little note. $\endgroup$

The secret message is:

YOU ARE GENIUS

Taking the first letters of each paragraph you find the hint:

STEGANOGRAPHY

Looking for something between the lines...

Copying and pasting the message into a text editor like notepad++ you can see some special characters (line separators or paragraph separators) for each line in the text. Interpreting them line separators as dashes and paragraph separators as dots and dashes you obtain the following code: -.-- --- ..- / .- .-. . / --. . -. .. ..- ... which translated using Morse Code gives the intended (at least I hope so!) solution!

OP Edit

The riddle talks about Steganography and rare codes(Unique codes - UNICODE) inside the gaps(spaces) Using a simple Unicode decoder we get -

Yes, the key is right here. Wait until you see -=U+2028.=U+2029

The riddle says, the things you see is not relevant also the last line says the key is -=U+2028 and .=U+2029
Hence, we get the message above :-)
