Vanveiss

Vantonne | one_shot | Complete

He lead a relatively simple life. He studied up until high school and went to college. He had pretty decent grades but he didn't overstep his boundaries, because honestly, he couldn't give a single shit. If it weren't for the games he played and the stories he had often read with really nasty characters that showed the true horridity of the human nature, he prolly already had killed himself off. The monotony that accompanied his loneliness was far greater than any piss-off-life-is-great person could understand. It was due to this that he had found solace in xianxia novels.

The Antithetical

Druadan | mystery | Complete

"The Antithetical" is a gripping tale of fantasy, horror, and adventure that transports readers to a world where gods and mortals coexist in a tenuous balance. However, when the kingdom of Allano is thrown into chaos and despair, its citizens are driven to madness and the protagonist, an undying being trapped in a place reserved for the broken and wretched, finds a glimmer of hope. Determined to uncover the truth behind the curse plaguing the kingdom, the protagonist embarks on a journey of self-discovery and redemption. As the protagonist delves deeper into the mystery, they encounter incredible obstacles and unearth secrets that challenge their beliefs and push the boundaries of their imagination. Through this journey, the protagonist grapples with themes of identity, morality, and fate, and comes face-to-face with their own limitations. The outcome of their journey is uncertain, but one thing is for certain: they will never be the same person again._____________________________________"The Antithetical" is my first (short) novel. It springs from my love of fantasy, philosophy, Lovecraft and From Software. I hope you enjoy it, and if so, please leave constructive feedback. Please remember that, as I said, The Antithetical is/was my first novel.As Brandon Sanderson said, "If you are a new writer, your job is to turn yourself into a person who can write great novels, NOT write a great novel."I'm not "satisfied" by any means, but I will apply what I've learned to my next novel.

Later all gods decide to make 5 elemental rings(these rings also can choose their owner by there own) full of cosmic energy (there are two types of energy that are Cosmo and Cosmic, Cosmo energy can be achieved by anyone but Cosmic energy can't be possessed by anyone who is not a god except one in the history) with the help of God Vishvakarma. They made some elemental stones with the help of rings which can be attached from the rings(unlike rings, stones can't choose their owners by themselves). All the rings were preserved in 5 different chambers no one knows where those chambers were. Thousands of years later one person got all of the rings and unlocked some of creatures from patal and started killing everyone in the universe but some gods managed to kill that person and decides to not interfere in the universe directly instead operate all of the universe from swarglok and again put all the rings in the chamber and later that chambers got broke and all rings lost in darkness of the space some says that the chambers broke eventually and some says it was broken by someone Later on&..

Reminiscence

GenXel | psychological | Complete

My website: https://putiancom.wordpress.com This is a short story about revenge or something along the lines. (This is my first story ever written so please go ham at criticising my work.) Death. It is a form of punishment or torture. And can be also be a form of salvation. Ultimately, it forms different perspectives depending on the beholder itself and on how the beholder take it as. Life. A point in time where finding your purpose. Purpose, of life itself and experience its flow, either epiphany or hell. Death. It is an end. A point of no return. It also makes the beholder feel free, breaking away from the chain of life. It makes the beholder recollect and reflect when crossing the boundary between life and death. Boundaries. A place where a path will ultimately, be chosen with or without consideration in the decision, free. . . . A place where recounting life, take it as a feeling. The joys and sorrow accumulated, playing back, making the beholder reexperience life. "Reminiscing."
