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.

(A certain [Self-Aware Fictional Character] recruits the help of an 'ordinary' failed author from Earth in the 21st century to help him create a new version of the universe.

Frustrated, with the status quo of the Mageocracy, James longs to return home to Melbourne, Australia; a bastion of the Oceania Frontier. There he knows he can make a difference. Or perish trying.

Fang Shuren is a lazy bum. He abandoned his family then quit his job. Most speculated he went insane, some said he turned into a coward, and a few of the usual swore it was a fanatical love affair. But these are all at least half wrong, he did it with intentions to start a new life. Lately, things had gotten so monotonous that he didn’t even sing when drunk anymore! ... more>>

Well, ditching everything didn’t help. Fang Shuren idled for months before he decided to take a stroll up Plum Blossom Mountain, a place where he planned to be done with it all. He never expected to meet another person there. And that they'd be so...obnoxious.

Can Fang Shuren ever ditch this irritating man, be productive in society, or sing while drunk again? And does he actually want to do any of these besides the first one?

It's not that Darren Laneth is different, just that he... thinks differently than other people. Because they are just that, other people. Two different groups, a level of mental separation. And yet, because of a little separation, he doesn't know what to do with his life.

...

What constitutes as 'human'?

Is it how we act? How society views us? The very makeup of our bodies? This is not what he sees. What he sees is a question, a question that he's been searching the answer to his entire life, elusive and yet all around him. It is what defines a human, what they always strive for, no matter the situation. When given the ability to search for the answer, the only thing left is to take it. The story of Darren, who loses the thing that matters the most to him and searches ever harder to the answer.

Tell me,

What is happiness?

“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.”
