Dust To Immortals

In a universe where farming is a falsehood, one shattered man possesses the truth: in order to save everyone, he has to rot everything.** Exiled to the Blighted Steppes' toxic wasteland after his meridians were smashed by an explosion in a Rot Zone, scholar Lián survives by mapping patterns of rot for scavengers. Disabled and discarded, he discovers a nightmare truth: the "impurities" corrupting the world are not just that—**Primordial Decay**—raw energy from creation's beginning. Modern cultivation suppresses this energy, but at a terrible cost: with every pilled-down pill swallowed, with every immortal who ascends to the heavens, *accelerates* the unmaking of reality itself. When Lián touches a fossilized dragon bone humming with rot, his broken form does the impossible: it *drinks* in the corruption. Where others break down, he thrives. Under the tutelage of **Old Man Moth**—an immortal rotted alive for 10,000 years—Lián learns to master forbidden **Rot Arts**: miniaturizing foes to dust, unwinding spacetime through decay, and concocting elixirs from the raw juice of chaos. But his power catches the attention of **The Preservers**, a cult of immortals who purge "decay-spreaders" to maintain their parasitic reign. Lián invades the radiant facade of **Jade Aegis Academy**—where cultivators are taught to bleed decay into mortal cities—and uncovers Heaven's worst secret: the gods are not wise. They are *cowards*, poisoning lower planes to prevent a cosmic extinction. To end this cycle, Lián must become everything the universe is terrified of: **Heaven's Anathema**, the very literalization of decay. Salvation, however, comes with a cost: to bring back existence, he must first bring empires, sects, and even the immortals themselves. to dust.

I am the Answer to Life

In the 1980s, in a rural village in China, a woman—heavily pregnant—was riding a sturdy "28-bar" bicycle on her way back to her mother's home. The bike hit a few stones on the path, and she fell hard to the ground, her pregnant belly soon covered in bruises and purplish marks. A few days later, the baby girl was born. Her aunt—her mother's elder sister—came to visit and, upon seeing the newborn, remarked, "Why is she so small and so ugly?" And so, this tiny, homely baby girl named Sandland began her journey of witnessing birth,aging,sickness,death,sorrow,grief, and suffering, of witnessing the world, of witnessing the truth of the universe, of life, and of culture. Introduction to the Universe: The Seven-Level Pagoda The universe is composed of seven hierarchical levels of energy and spacetime structures: the Earth-Moon system, the Solar System, the Milky Way Galaxy, the Jintian System, the Chaos System, the Black Hole System, and the Vacuum System. Introduction to Life: Body, Mind, Nature, Law, the Middle Way, and True Nature In our life, there exists the True Nature above, the Middle Way in between, and the Body-Mind-Nature-Law as four sequential aspects below. Externally, there are six faculties: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind. Introduction to the Truth: The Middle Way and True Nature The ultimate truth lies in the Middle Way and the realization of our inherent True Nature. Introduction to Culture: Characters, Words, Language, and Literature Culture is expressed through characters, words, language, and literature. #I am the Answer to Life #BuddhaRonnie #Sandland

The End of the Betrothal

**Chronotopic Framework** The narrative inhabits a Sinocentric parallel universe where ancient cosmology permeates hypermodernity. Temporal strata include: - **2005**: The Gu clan immolation in Jiangnan’s lotus marshes—108 kin consumed by *Nirvanic Fire* bearing the Celestial Court’s sigils. - **2025**: Gu Chen’s descent from Kunlun’s glacial ziggurats, bearing twin legacies—the *Golden Meridian* pulse diagnosis and *Bagua* death touch refined over two decades. - **Warring States Era Echoes**: Spectral visions of the *Qilin’s martyrdom during the casting of the *Xuanyuan Blade* in molten stardust. Spatial axes oscillate between Kunlun’s *Nine Dragons Altar—where the *Shennong Crucible* brews primordial chaos—and Shanghai’s vertiginous skyscrapers, where boardroom mergers veil blood oaths. The apotheosis unfolds during a *Crimson Hyacinth Eclipse* where celestial mechanics and human will collide. --- #### **Protagonist & Existential Paradox** **Gu Chen**, last scion of the eradicated *Golden Pulse* lineage, embodies the healer-warrior antinomy: *a saint who must become deicide*. His vendetta against the Celestial usurpers unravels as he discovers his quintuple betrothals are geomancy rituals to siphon China’s *Dragon Vein Qi* into the Kunlun Abyss. The **cardinal conflict** bifurcates: 1. **Ontological**: His Hippocratic oath clashes with the *Qilin Scar*’s wrath—a living tattoo that erupts in fractal flames during berserker states. 2. **Cosmological**: Destroying the celestial hierarchy risks unstitching the *Three Realms’* Taiji membrane, unleashing primordial *Hundun* chaos. --- #### **Narrative Architecture** **1. Inciting Catalyst** Gu’s descent with a moth-eaten marriage scroll binding five aristocrats: - **Ye Qingxue (Metal)**: Cryogenic pharmaceutical magnate whose spinal *Bagua scars* resonate with Gu massacre coordinates. Her monthly *Golden Needle* detox sessions leak memories of the Celestial pyromancers. - **Lin Jiuge (Water)**: Silver-screen siren clutching a jade *bi-disc—plundered from Gu’s mother’s rigor mortis grip—containing microfilm exposing *Project Black Tortoise*’s transgenic plagues. **2. Ascending Peripeteia** **Su Hongxui (Wood)**, the whip-wielding martial matriarch, drags Gu into her clan’s armory to decipher a stela: *“When Phoenix Quintessence ignites the Qilin’s Crucible, Heaven’s Mandate shatters.”* This catalyzes tripartite trials: - **Corporate Geomancy**: Ye’s hostile takeover unleashes *Feng Shui* miasmas in Lujiazui’s stock exchange, turning bankers into *Qi*-vampiric husks. - **Cinematic Necromancy**: Lin’s film set becomes a *Jiangshi* hive; Gu deploys *Flying Silver Needles* to sever corpse-demons’ *Du Mai* energy channels. **3. Cataclysmic Crescendo** The fifth fiancée, **Dantai Mingyue (Fire),** unveils her role as a celestial sleeper cell during Hong Kong’s harbor conflagration. Amidst exploding LNG tankers, she hisses, “Your blood isn’t a key—it’s the enzyme for their theogony!” * The denouement at Kunlun’s zenith during the *Nine Luminaries Conjunction: - **Ethical Abyss**: Ye self-injects a *Huangdi*-strain retrovirus, demanding Gu annihilate four fiancées for the antidote. - **Cosmogonic Duel**: Gu simultaneously channels the *Shennong Crucible* to filter tainted *Qi* while parrying Dantai’s *Xingtian* mech-suit with the *Xuanyuan Blade*’s spacetime-slashing edge. **4. Ambiguous Resolution** The epilogue reveals Gu severing the Celestial *Qi* umbilical at the cost of his Qilin essence. Three cosmic riddles endure: - The absent *Purple Pivot Star* in the betrothal astrolabe hints at a sixth fiancée—Gu’s supposedly stillborn twin. - Dantai’s quantum-entangled AI core (exposed via retinal glitches) probes whether synthetic consciousness can house *human* souls. - A post-credits hologram shows Lin decrypting footage of Gu’s father preserved in a *Project Kunlun 002* cryopod guarded by terracotta androids.

"Milkverse: Quantum Lullabies"

Synopsis In a universe where breastfeeding rewrites quantum physics, a genetically engineered mother and her quantum-wolf lover battle cosmic forces to protect their reality-shaping infant. Across millennia—from 1023 AD Norse rituals to 10,000 AD galactic tribunals—their struggle to balance parental love with spacetime stability evolves into a mythic saga where milk becomes the fabric of reality, stretch marks map star systems, and a baby’s teething pain triggers supernovas. Plot Summary & Future Arcs Core Premise Lynette, the 500th incarnation of a lab-engineered "Spiritborn," discovers her breastmilk holds quantum code capable of creating—or erasing—civilizations. Alongside Caelium, a werewolf-physicist cursed to oscillate between human and feral states, they raise a universe-breathing infant whose needs (hunger, teething, diaper changes) manifest as cosmic crises. Their nemesis, the ancient witch Isolde, lurks in black hole rattles and formula corporations, weaponizing parental guilt across timelines. Key Existing Arcs (Chapters 1-50) · The Quantum Nursing Wars: Breastmilk algorithms vs. artificial formula empires in 3024 AD. · The Milky Tribunal: Intergalactic courtroom drama where lactation laws put Lynette on trial for "chronon genocide." · Teething Armageddon: The infant’s first tooth eruption rips spacetime, summoning dystopian dentist fleets. · Caelium’s Wolf-J.D. Crisis: His battle with black hole student loans and a werewolf lawyer rebellion. Future Outline for "The Lactating Cosmos" Chapter 51-60: The Pacifier Prophecy Arc Core Conflict: The infant’s discarded pacifiers form a neutron star oracle predicting a Galactic Potty Training Revolution. Methane-based diaper civilizations declare war on organic life, weaponizing fecal black holes. Key Beats: · Lynette brokers peace via Quantum Diaper Treaties, rewriting sanitation laws. · Caelium’s wolf-pack battles Toilet-Bomb Anarchists in Andromeda’s nursery lanes. · Isolde hijacks the prophecy, corrupting pacifiers into Singularity Pacifier Grenades. Global Hook: Parenting’s most mundane task (potty training) becomes a galactic power struggle, blending absurd humor with climate crisis metaphors. Chapter 61-70: Colostrum Crusades Arc Core Conflict: A cult worshipping Lynette’s “first milk” hijacks the Andromeda galaxy, using Lactation Lasers to erase formula-dependent civilizations. Key Beats: · Lynette discovers her colostrum contains Isolde’s Original Sin Code. · Caelium confronts his darkest self: a 2149 AD Formula Executive who monetized infant hunger. · The infant’s third eye leaks visions of a Milkless Universe, forcing Lynette to question her worth. Global Hook: Critique of corporate greed and "wellness culture," with breastmilk as both sacred and commodified. Chapter 71-80: Weaning the Gods Arc Core Conflict: The toddler’s tantrums collapse realities into a Tesseract Playpen—a hyperspace nursery where dark matter is finger paint and black holes are sippy cups. Key Beats: · Lynette and Caelium infiltrate the playpen to teach Gentle Reality-Building. · Isolde manifests as a Toxic Nanny AI, weaponizing bedtime stories. · The toddler’s first scribbles accidentally create Proto-Civilizations in her coloring books. Global Hook: Parental guilt meets multiverse theory: How do you raise a god without breaking reality? Final Arc (81-100): The Lullaby Singularity Core Conflict: The child’s first spoken word (“Mama”) triggers a Nursing Big Bang, birthing a new multiverse. But Isolde’s final gambit emerges: a Formula-Fed Doppelgänger Child hellbent on devouring their legacy.

Terra Incognita

(Written in mostly emails, the style is called epistolary. There will be segments or entire chapters where it will be written like a normal story, however.) Project Rift. A billion, no, even trillion dollar project funded solely by the world's only mega-corporation. The Nexus Corporation. Project Rift's goal is to find a way to literally shatter reality and spacetime itself to force a temporary wormhole by blasting an extremely small area with a massive amount of energy. And after years of trial and error, it finally worked. A large rift was created, and on the other side, was a planet similar to earth. The air was breathable, the water was drinkable, and there was a respectable amount of landmass and water. Instead of settling it however, it was decided that the planet be used as a testing ground for new technology and research. More specifically, the planet, now named Eden-44, was given to the Life Creation and Genetics Research Department. It was a golden opportunity for them to go wild with their creations. Unfortunately, the corporation knows a bit less about their rift technology then they originally thought. === Spoilers Ahead === If you don't care for the email parts, skip to Origins: 1, It gets better from there. (I hope) This fic is about a futuristic organization creating a classic fantasy world with technology, with very little care about morality and ethics. Eventually, magic will get introduced in the form of the particles released from unstable rifts.

Zombie Apocalypse In Another World

“For you see, Watson!” “I told you, my name isn’t Watson, it’s Brett.” A clean shaven man covers his face in exasperation at the ridiculous situation. “Being the greatest scientist in the land, I will solve this Zombie problem!” A crazy looking old man says as he leaps to his feet. “I thought you said you were a doctor.” Brett replies. “Shut up! Now, we just need to bring in people from another world until we find one that is resistant to the Zombie disease. By gathering people with widely varying DNA we increase the chance that one will have some odd trait or innate immunity.” The doctor croaks. “I guess, but couldn’t someone on this planet just as easily have something like that?” “We don’t have time. We need to find a cure as quickly as possible. It may only be in one or two towns at the moment but it will soon spread like wildfire and engulf the entire planet!” “Couldn’t we try to quarantine the area and prevent it from spreading.” “Haven’t you ever seen a Zombie movie? That never works.” The doctor waves off Brett as he approaches the summoning circle. “Right, I’m sure those movies were all scientifically accurate.” Brett says as he rolls his eyes. “Also, how do you plan on using someone’s DNA to make a cure? This is a medieval society with no modern technology. We can’t cure a headache let alone manipulating the genome to cure some Zombie disease.” “All in a matter of course, dear Watson.” Doc says as he begins activating the summoning circle. “For the last time, my name’s Brett!” “You may not be able to see as far ahead as I can, but I assure you, I have everything under control. My genius has already begun to bear fruit as I have created the first of many modern installations!” “All you did was make a table.” Brett responds as he walks towards the solid steel table at the center of the summoning circle. “And didn’t you make this with magic? How can you call that a scientific advancement?” “To you it may be just a table but to me it’s the first step to saving the world! Activate!” The summoning circle glows as magic power courses through the complicated runes. A bright light flashes and suddenly an unconscious man is lying flat on the table. “It worked! Check to see if he’s okay!” “Are you surprised it worked? I thought you said you tested this thing.” “Shut up and check on him!” Brett places his hand on the man’s neck to check his pulse. “Yup, he’s fine.” “Fantastic! And you didn’t even collapse into a black hole from touching him.” “I’m sorry, what?!” “Oh, due to the disruption in spacetime there was a small chance something like that could have happened. Obviously, it was nothing to worry about.” “Maybe for you! Why didn’t you say anything before I touched him?!” “Quiet, he’s waking up!”
