Bearer of Truth

Misdirection (Notebook Page) What is a story? People think a story is a life. Something practical. Something coherent. But most lives aren’t coherent when you’re inside them. They only look clean when someone else holds the timeline in their hands and edits out the parts that don’t make sense. To me, a story starts with three introductions: a place, a time, and a plot. And inside those three things—whether it wants to be there or not—there is always a character. So I’ll start mine the truest way I know how: close to the truth. I am like misdirection, not because I want to deceive you, but because some truths don’t survive being stared at too long. I learned early that the world is full of people who love the shape of truth but hate its weight. They want a headline. They want a villain. They want a hero they can digest and forget. I don’t fit into that kind of mouth. I’ve always felt passive in a world forever changing—like I’m standing still while the scenery rushes by, like I’m older than time but still treated like a child the moment I speak. My face tells on me. My silence tells on me. And if I say, “I’ve seen things,” people hear ego instead of fear. They don’t understand that seeing is not a gift. Sometimes it’s a bruise. I was born where you’re reading this from—this world, this version, this “original.” It can be cruel. It can be healing. Both at the same time. I know what it means to be a colored male and get reminded of it by strangers, by systems, by rooms that go cold when you enter. Sometimes it’s subtle. Sometimes it’s a hand on your shoulder that’s too heavy. Sometimes it’s laughter. Sometimes it’s the way you’re always expected to prove you deserve air. But I’ve been to worlds where it is much worse. And I’ve been to worlds where it’s the opposite. That’s the part that sounds like fiction, so people treat it like fiction. They call it imagination because imagination is safer than admitting the universe has more doors than we were taught. Scientists have theories about worlds beyond the “original.” Yogis talk about barriers. Some people touch the glass. Some press their forehead to it and swear they felt something press back. Me? I didn’t touch the barrier. I grew up with the feeling that it was already cracked. Parallel worlds, people say. But “parallel” makes it sound like train tracks—two lines running forever, never touching. I don’t believe it’s like that. I think these worlds are possibilities—branches of what the original could become, depending on choices, laws, accidents, and forces we don’t name because naming gives them permission. I have been a lot of things in those possibilities. God. Demon. Slave. King. Monster. Nothing at all. I have been rich and poor and non‑existing. I have been human in places where humans don’t exist. I’ve seen lives where magic and immortals and supernatural martial arts shift the very cosmos like it’s a curtain. If that sounds like a show, good. Fiction is the only language people accept for the borderlands. But this isn’t a story about fiction. This is a story about what happens when something from the borderlands decides you’re not supposed to look anymore. Because there was a time when my sight was wide—too wide—and I didn’t know it. I didn’t know there was a window in me. And then, one summer night, when I was fourteen years old, I went to sleep like I always did… …and the window closed. Not gently. Not like someone lowering blinds. Like something with hands. Like something that meant it

BLVCK WOLVES

A world of magic. A "mage" born without it. And an outrageous f*cking crew. In the Valley Kingdom, where steampunk meets futurism and magic means status, one Guild stands wildly apart: the Black Wolf Knights, or rather—the Black Wolves. Their leader, Greed, carries neither magic nor nobility, only a title he never wanted and a forgotten past. And his crew is as unhinged as they are loyal: A Ghost-mage whose eyepatch hides more than it covers. A powerhouse who hits like a Behemoth and naps like it’s a sport. A vice captain calm enough to fool any con artist. A horned lunatic with zero sense of danger—because she is the danger. A cyborg. A wolfdog the size of a lyconbear. And others just as—if not more—chaotic. The Black Wolves survive on grit, loyalty, and a collection of insanely broken abilities. But when a conspiracy threatens to swallow the Kingdom—and pins the crime on them—they become fugitives in the very nation they swore to protect. Armed with a strange power that defies magic. A crew ready to leap off any cliff with him. And a memory fighting to resurface. Greed, the Black Wolves, and a few allies must face enemies the Kingdom never saw coming. The Valley never believed in them. But they might be their last hope. Expect: - Black Clover meets Final Fantasy meets Six of Crows meets Vox Machina - OP MC from the start with no magic [NOT ANTI-MAGIC], progressively gets even more OP - Harem relationships in the beginning, moderate fanservice (hate me), and strong romance subplot towards the end with only one girl - Multiple perspectives from multiple characters - Intricate plot, tons of world building, character building, backstories, and fighting - A long, ongoing story Author's note: This book is only available on Royal Road, Webnovel, Scribble Hub, Inkitt, Wattpad, and featured on Chereads as well for the time being. If you're reading it anywhere else, it is entirely without my permission.

Love Thy Divinity

However his reaction lacked the surprise or confusion one would usually expect form someone in his situation, as he would soon prove to be anything but ordinary. Having always failed finding meaning in his life and those of others, his emotional numbness and tendency to view most people and activities as beneath him becomes apparent when he meets the angel Yuki. Meant to judge his life and actions, things take a turn when he tricks her into agreeing to a wager that would change his and her fate. Achieving victory over the angel, he acquires her devotion and servitude, though he soon discovers the true face her devotion to be pure obsession instead of the benevolence she showed him at first. After a confrontation with God himself about his changed fate, he and Yuki are sent to a new world in hopes of finding what his previous world lacked: meaning. Yuki however has made it her sole purpose to win him over, baiting the slightest bit of affection out of him, genuine or not. Even just experiencing theatrical romance scenarios, which she artificially creates at the cost of others, becomes a normal occurrence. Though not reciprocating her feelings just yet, Yamato cannot stop himself from being captivated by both her beauty and emotional intensity, seeing her as someone who might finally give him the emotional experience he seeks.

Shackle The Witches

The Old World ended when humanity drilled too deep into the planet. By breaking the planet seal, the Domains from another dimension began to emerge. The Deep that destroys cities with a tsunami, the Shining that alters the skies, the Nightmare where terrible creatures rush out from; the chaos that makes every possibility happen at once, and the Abyss that erases everything that gets too close. The Domains connected with the people of Celestia, turning the girls into Witches. They became existences that could reshaped the world at the cost of going insane. In their rampage, they destroy the world and then began making a new one. In desperation, the last researchers of Ark-9 committed their last sin. They stole a soul from another world and then forced it into a new body to create the Chief. The Chief was made to suppress the Witches, to restore the world, and to be a weapon. The Chief was placed in a long sleep under a flooded city. Until finally the dying researchers awoke him for the mission, they have been preparing. The salvation of Celestia. “Fuck off.” Was what Aether said to all of them. “You bastards thought you could tear me from my world, and make me your obedient weapon?” Aether then laughed. “Those Witches you guys hate. I will not hunt them, chain them, force them, or use them as tools for your schemes. But instead, I will love them.” The Ark-9 Researchers erupted in rage. But he continued laughing without a care as their rage was music to his ears. “This is my script now.” The prison that held him shattered as their screams faded into silence. And he stepped into the new world with a smirk. “And I plan to make sure. No Witch escape my love.”
