There's a hierarchy, places among all lives in the universe.... more>>

Primitive animals, intelligent mortals, their kings, and then their gods. Then there are their gods' gods, being so powerful that even they can’t touch.

However, to all of these being, there’s one thing they know, but don’t remember. One thing they all fear and respect, but will inevitably forget.

The white shadow in the corner of their eyes, the whispers behind their ears, the tiny voices inside their head, guiding them, manipulating them, leading the course of the history of the universe to its desired destination.

The All-Knowing One who always watches over the whole of existence.

Ever since the beginning of time, a grand library has a record of every action, every thought, every emotion, every intent and every word ever spoken by anything. Every feat ever accomplished, every failure, every concept that has ever been conceived and every second of every life is in there.

The archive of books that has reality recorded onto its page.

And the recorder, its elusive master, the watcher of fates and the writer of destiny who has been observing all life from the very beginning—is a human.

Welcome—to the Conceptors Grand Archive.
Everything you know and more is in there.

He became a celestial cultivator, capable of uniting the tumultuous world under his sole rule, vowing to maintain peace for the next millennia.... more>>

In this life, the moment An Bai found his heart, he remembered. Remembered everything, vowing to not involve himself with that best friend nor the cultivation world ever again.

Wang Yu: If you can not see, I will help you
An Bai *cursing Internally*: Your sister can’t see!!! It’s all your fault, you ass!

Authors note:

This is a very slow-build story to reflect my goal of making this a long term project. There are many characters, each with their own minor plots working toward building the main story. So don't expect there to be battles right off the bat. This is also written in multiple points-of-view so it may affect those that have a preference for certain formats or writing structures.

Hope you enjoy! <<less

(Statement of Luwen Gardner, regarding the Magnus Institute and all of the Abnormalities. Original statement given November 23rd 1349. Audio recording by Hayden Miller, Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute, Loen Kingdom.

Statement Begins.)

Year 1349, November 23rd–Journal of Luwen Gardner.

Compulsion... That's it. This isn't a statement! Luwen you're writing on your journal! This behavior is definitely a side effect of working here in this Institute– On this Evil Organization.

In this seventeen? years of my life, I am just a normal and simple civilian in Tingen City of Awwa County. The third child of Gardner family. With a loving family of caring parents and siblings.

Studying as a first year student in Khoy University in History department, with few acquaintances- I could say that my life was as good and simple as I wanted it to be. A dream of good life and becoming very rich, very very rich someday. I am a good example of a simple young man.

Just a few more years, pass the test, graduate and find a job. My dreams are within my reach!

It is a pity that everything that I lived for is 'FALSE.'

One day, they came. Forcing me to open my 'eyes'. Beyonders, Pathways, Potions and Ingredients...

This world isn't as simple as it seems, and the Magnus Institute- An old evil organization who was beyond and mysterious to the eyes of beyonders...

Buried, Corruption, Dark, Desolation, End, Eye, Flesh, Hunt, Lonely, Slaughter, Spiral, Stranger, Vast and Web. Ex-

In the game of authority, gods and organizations, I have a feeling that " they–the Magnus Institute shouldn't be here. "

Abandoned and Alone. In a place left forgotten, the ruins of a former race with power beyond knowledge.

Crumbling walls greet explorers and scavengers alike as some try to trawl their way into riches in the corpses of buildings.
In the outposts left standing hope slowly grows, where knives and betrayal meets incompetent and weak leaders.
A world of the strong, a world of chaos. Preparing to sink its teeth in your back the moment you fall asleep.

Some claim to know their own demons, but the demons others hold can be just as deadly.

Many wish to flee this place, what reason have you to enter? <<less

He was one of the most renowned General in ancient China. He knocked down the enemies with only 500 cavalries, merciless in the battlefield, and deserved the title of God of War. On the other side, he also possessed a good personality, a kind heart, and gentleness. He always hid his handsome features beneath his golden mask. Yet, a twisted fate led him to his calamity. ... more>>

With his last breath, the general gritted his teeth and swore, “I, Gao Chang Gong, will take revenge for all of my sufferings!”

"General Gao, I'm one of your die-hard fans! Can you give me your autograph?"

"Wife, how about you wear a mask too?"

Ahem. So I'm kinda new to this because I didn't seriously think this could be possible but first lets recap, shall we?... more>>

My name was Raymond Dragon, also known as the 'Joker' or 'Card Master'. I died at the age of 16 because my yandere-ass big sister had a LITTLE *cough* *cough* obsession with me, and by 'obsession' I mean by locking me up in a dark cellar for three years and then proceeding to kill, torture and feed both my relatives, friends and acquaintances to me... No complaints here... NOT! She fed me my grandma as well!

Now, back to schedule. Ahem. So you get my lifestory and the way I died was kinda stupid but that doesn't matter. What matters now is that I got reincarnated (Yay!) in a fucking game. Or to be precise a world that's based on an otome game, a game that I was forced to play with that SHITTY LITTLE... Big? Yandere sister of mine. I forgot the name because I don't give two shits about the story or anything about the game for that matter but anyway, I reincarnated as a mob character (YES!) and not as anyone important or significant in the story (Get that fucking GB tag outta my face.).

There's also multiple reincarnators who actually know what the story was about *surprised* and there are even otherworlders, demon lords, heroes and so on in this world that also know the story. Here's the catch though, the world's not a game. People are living and breathing same as our previous world. How do I know? Weeelllll... I may or may not have a special magic called 'Card Magic (self-named)' that I also had in my previous world to rake in the dough... and I can use it in this world... Anyway, I know it's not fake because a certain card that can be generated is a 'Truth Card' and I asked it one simple question:

"Is this world real?"

And the answer that I got was:

"Positive."

So there. That's my mother-fucking introduction, and you shall now know me as 'Ray Quartz', the marquis' lazy-ass genius son.

Your not-so sincerely, Ray Quartz

In an attempt to form an alliance between two formidable empires, it was decreed that the crown prince of Calendula were to wed the Epidotian princess of the neighbouring kingdom. However when the two had finally met, it became apparent that they were as different as oil and water. Oblivious to herself that her relationship was going stale, Princess Renee Annalise Vellamere continued her engagement simply waiting for the day she will finally be married to the man she was promised to.... more>>

And then the unthinkable happened! The crown prince decided to break off their engagement to marry another woman.

SNAP!

It was the sound of Renee's sanity breaking as the emotions she had tried to bottle in soon overwhelmed her. Unknown to everyone else, including herself, she was actually dragon-cursed. In her grief, she went on a mindless rampage as she slowly lost her humanity. But somehow a miracle had happened! When the prince stabbed her in the chest with a sword, she managed to clutch desperately onto the little human side she had left. Confused and wounded, Renee ran away to save her life.

With no home to run back to or belongings to her name, and an entire kingdom on the hunt for her, Renee is now on the run to figure out the mystery of the curse that has plagued her family's bloodline for generations.

“Whoever marries the princess will become emperor.” A twist of fate brought them together. ... more>>

Born a curse, she was cast away from the royal family. But when the kingdom needed an alliance with the Northern barbarians, she was the one to marry.

As the second son, he had no right to become heir. Yet in the face of war and politics, he was always the first to fight for the country.

To her, he was a barbarian. To him, she was a pawn. But under the guise of the prophecy, they pretended to be the most affectionate couple. In front of others, they were the ever-flirting Prince and Princess Consort of Jin. But behind closed doors, they plotted for their own means.

Was it really all no more than an act? Or was there a bit of truth to their fabricated devotion?

They were unwilling puppets, each trying to break free from the invisible strings of fate. Only, when the stage finally fell, it was to chaos. In the end, she no longer knew if her tears were for him or the irony of it all.

Excerpt:

He finally stopped in front of me.

“Can I trust you?”

Subconsciously, something inside me willed me to nod. Perhaps it was the knowledge that I was to be bound to him until death. Or maybe it was the awareness of how this marriage was much more than a simple union between two people.

He moved slowly, waiting for another nod of my approval before closing the gap further.

“You’re a smart one, somehow seeing through most of my guises.” He reached out and gently caressed my cheeks. “True love doesn’t exist in the royal family, but it seems as if we are the perfect match for partnership.”

He leaned in as if to kiss me, instead stopping short at eye level.

“Help me put on my act.”
