Everyone has a story to tell, made from the moments in the lives we share. Consequently, every person has their own perspective, their own subjective experiences, and thereby, their own subjective realities. Even if the exact same story is told by two people, the details from one will differ in the other.... more>>

Reed and Lumina share their lives together, but each of them came from different backgrounds; each of them went through their own unique experiences. Reed is a human being like everyone else on Earth. Lumina is an Altiri, like every one in Genosis. Both are aliens to their own world, and both have seen their own source of immense darkness in their time.

The other side of the same story might sound similar at a quick glance, but in the depths of every personal reality, very little is ever the same. Welcome to the far side of the universe, in a safe corner of the world you've probably heard nothing about. Welcome ~ to Genosis. Welcome ~ to The Other Side. <<less

When you were little, did you look forward to tomorrow? If you did, why? Field trips? An outing with friends? Family dinners? Birthdays? Dates? Parties?... more>>

“I didn’t want to wake up. To be honest, I wish I hadn’t. It was my last opportunity to just sleep it off and pretend this entire life had never happened.”

This is just a diary, and how you take this story is completely up to you. It’s full of lies, and it’s full of memories. I can’t tell which is which anymore, but maybe you can.

A/N: It's not a fun read, and it’s probably offensive to some people. I’m writing the entire thing in a single sitting, and I’m not even proofreading. I'm not writing for views or publicity, but because I wanted to write this; as I said, this is a diary. A very twisted diary of someone I keep inside my head.

Oh, and...trigger warning for suicide. <<less

天圣教主 (Heavenly Saint Sect Master), 牧天尊 (Divine Shepherd Revered), 人皇 (Human Emperor), 秦凤青 (Qin Fengqing), the second consciousness born from the sealed body of Qin Fengqing, the first being to be born in the Netherworld. When he was young, he was carried to the banks of the Yong River by a female corpse named Mu Ping and was found by a midwife named Si Po Po, who then adopted him. Originally an ordinary person, he was deceived by the village chief into believing that he possessed an extraordinary physique.... more>>

After leaving the Great Ruins, he became the Sect Master of the Demonic Heaven Sect. He accompanied the Khan of War into the Golden Saint Palace, single-handedly defeating all opponents in the palace. He summoned a Demon God to the mortal realm during the rebellion in Yan Kang Kingdom, setting off a mighty storm. He aided the National Teacher in quelling the rebellion and killed the Crown Prince in the capital city. Later, he became the new Human Emperor. Through a fortuitous encounter, he met his biological father and uncovered his identity as a descendant of the Emperor clan. He acquired the Divine Law and initiated a great reform in Daoist methods and supernatural powers.

Later, he was provoked by the First Ancestor, the Human Emperor, and entered the Taihuang Heaven. After his brother Qin Fengqing broke the seal, causing chaos in the Buddha Realm and the Floating Void Realm, he led the gods to escape the doomed Taihuang Heaven and revived the Empress of the Dark Heaven in the Yin Realm. He traveled back a million years and caused a disturbance in the Heavenly Court. He met his mother in the Netherworld and joined forces with Qin Fengqing to fight against the gods of the Netherworld in a great battle at the Jade Lock Pass. When the Primordial Realm was unsealed, he saw the Primordial Earth Mother.

In order to slay the Primordial Earth Mother and save Yan Kang from calamity, Qin Fengqing had to help the Ancient God Heavenly Emperor and the Primordial Earth Mother to resurrect. While facing the four Great Emperors of the Heavenly Court, he sacrificed his third eye, turning himself into a soulless being. Later, he gained a new life by opening up the heavens and the earth and receiving a divine soul. He caused the Yaochi Event in the Heavenly Court and was sent into the Tai Xu realm. Unexpectedly, he became the Holy Infant of the Creator Clan, leading to reconciliation between the Creator Clan and the Carefree Township.

When the Southern Emperor fell, Qin Fengqing decided to travel through history on the Ghost Ship. He returned to the era of the Dragon and Han Dynasty, found the ancestral home of the Creator Clan, left behind three prophecies of the Creator Clan, stole numerous treasures from the Zhaoyang Palace, including the Primordial God Egg, and protected the Xaohan Heavenly Court from the harm of the Great Hong. After the ascension of the Heavenly Court, he held up the Milky Way and met with the Cloud Heavenly Emperor across the Ghost Ship. Due to the loosening of the seal on the ancestral home, he entered the ancestral home together with the other eight Heavenly Emperors and took control of the Ten Thousand Black Mountains as his territory, where he encountered the Taiyi Heavenly Emperor. <<less

Dr. Julia Hernandez.... more>>

Just those three words are enough to elicit a feeling of comfort and terror fused into a single emotion. Loyal patients say she’s one of a kind—she saves souls, souls in need of fixing, yes. Patients are truly satisfied with her work, yet even as a licensed psychotherapist beloved by the people, an even deeper darkness resided within her heart.

Victoria Von Ziegler, a German fashion model and novelist would agree. Julia’s dedication to her work and commitment to helping others transformed her into a legendary figure in the field of psychology, as she has gained the trust of many throughout her long and successful career. Yet there is a side of Julia that a few have ever seen—having slept with the entire town in hopes of finding a lover worthy of mending the wounds from her scarred past, Julia will stop at nothing in order to hunt down her overseas patient, Victoria, for the sake of achieving her dream.

Chilling at its best and gut-wrenching at its worst, “She Will Always Be A Broken Girl” explores the horrors of Julia’s psyche. A tale of love, trust, betrayal, and empathy tangle together to form a story which not only warms people’s hearts, but spooks the human brain to its fullest. <<less

There are three expected major themes to this work:
1) Protagonist reforms his body so that he's not out of shape or constantly in pain.
2) Reforming his giant physical mess of an environment into a functional heroic manufacturing setup.
3) His ongoing unpleasant mental experiences.... more>>

In other words, it's a grind.

Like any good story, there is plenty of room for progression.
He starts out with a bunch of psychological issues and a good few physical ones. Additionally, he has the means to live modestly but still to spend his hours in pursuit of the plot.
Unlike most good stories, ... well, a lot of things. But importantly, there is NO GUARANTEE of success. If he is unsuccessful, this project will be dropped. There is no room for fantastical plot armor in this story; His final saga could very well end in demoralized failure.

The "Game Elements" tag is for the personal status sheet, which is a fairly arbitrary documentation of his performance at various sets of exercises, and other discernible attributes.

The story uses a first person narrative.

The Gore / Sexual Content / Etc tags are there because the contents might discuss such things. Definitely not the focus of the story. MC usually doesn't use "Strong Language", at least at the beginning. But he might develop into such a character.

It's a novel based on a dream that I had one time (Just a warning, it has a fairly slow start.

It starts with a dream about a girl living in a town conquered by demons, and the girl fighting the main demon with the help of a fox spirit. Or was it a dream after all? <<less

Jonathan Vélo never expected to be famous. Not for riding his bike all the way around the continent of Icomo.

Every adult knows his story, and children learn about him at school. This, however, is the first and only biography written about that great man with foreigners in mind. We, his biographers, imagine they will be immensely grateful.

Of course, readers will find the people of Icomo an unusual sort for glorifying a young man who did nothing more than quit his job and ride his bike from town to town, city to city… But in an age of robots and computers, when little escapes the notice of the historian, there is a quiet epic to be told.

It is the epic of cozy nights in a tent below the stars, of warm wind and ocean waves. It is also the epic of missing old friends in faraway places, and that feeling of needing to make life mean something.
