Grandpa Paradox

Synopsis: Ethan Cross never believed in fate—until the moment time stopped. One second he was chasing an informant through the neon-drenched streets of New Avalon; the next, the entire world froze mid-motion. The rain hung suspended in the air, the pulse of the city silenced, and then it spoke— [The Paradox System has been initialized.] Now, Ethan is trapped in a world where the past, present, and future collide. The Paradox System grants him the power to rewind, accelerate, and manipulate time itself—but every choice has a cost. As reality fractures around him, Ethan must navigate a dangerous game where one wrong move could erase him from existence. But he's not the only one playing. Shadowy organizations with their own agendas seek to control time’s secrets, while anomalies—beings that shouldn't exist—lurk in the cracks of reality. The deeper Ethan digs, the more he realizes that time isn't broken by accident... and someone, or something, is pulling the strings. With the fabric of existence unraveling and forces beyond his understanding closing in, Ethan must master the Paradox System before it consumes him entirely. Because in a world where time is no longer linear, the greatest enemy might just be his own past. Chronoshift: The Paradox System—Rewrite your destiny, or be erased by it.

[Main Plot Completed] A love doomed from the start, a lost cause, a losing battle—and yet, neither hearts are willing to let go until the very end. ----- Arlan Cromwell, the epitome of the perfect Crown Prince. All he wants is to live a normal life of a human but the life of a dragon is anything but normal. He has but one goal—to find his runaway betrothed and behead her. What happens when he discovers that the woman who has snagged his heart is the one he vowed to kill? Oriana, a Black Witch, disguising herself as a man, has spent her entire life on the run without knowing what she is running away from.

But when she learns that the man she has given her heart to is the same man who wants to kill her, how can she accept the cruel card life dealt her? Two people with secrets to keep, identities to hide, and answers to find. When the certain darkness threatens to take Oriana away, will the Dragon be able to protect his mate? ----- Excerpt- “If I knew you were my betrothed, I would have killed you the very first moment we met." Arlan's gaze darkened with hatred. “If I knew I was betrothed to you, I would have killed myself before you even killed me!” Oriana mirrored the same emotions as him. He pulled out a dagger and offered it to her. “It’s not too late. Just slit your throat with this and you'll bleed out painlessly.” She accepted the knife, her fingers clutching its handle tightly. The next moment, he was pressed against the wall and the knife was on the right side of his neck. “How about I try it on you first, my betrothed?” “Feel free to try. But when you fail, this knife will first taste your grandpa's blood, then yours.” Anger rose in her eyes, and the next moment, blood was flowing through the right side of his neck. She cut deep enough to severe an important blood vessel. “You should not have challenged me,” she sneered and stepped back, waiting for him to collapse. He simply smirked and brushed his finger along the deep wound on his neck. “Seems like you failed.” She watched the wound on his neck heal on its own and felt shocked to her bones. “You.. what are you?” “Guess?” ----- Instagram- mynovel.20 Facebook- Author mynoveltwenty

But on the night of his execution, he awakened something beyond the gods' control—The Sovereign’s Paradox, a forbidden power that allows him to devour systems, rewriting reality itself. As he unravels the dark history of the Divine Systems, Ezekiel discovers that the gods didn’t vanish—they were sealed away. And he alone holds the key to their return. But should he free them… or ensure they remain buried forever?

Ever wondered what a Xianxia novel would be like, with anti-protagonists falling in love from the very beginning, contracting powerful ancient beasts and exploring much more? Well then, let’s dive in!

Feared and despised, they would carve their names into the annals of history, challenging gods and emperors alike. They were the False Immortals, and they would stop at nothing to shape the world in their image. Disclaimer! The first volume serves as a prologue; the real story begins with the second volume.

Despite my failed attempt to make a friend, I somehow ended up surrounded by a handful of wolf classmates, got accepted by the human "cool" girls, and became a vampire's guard dog? VOL 2 I think I'm just starting to get the hang of school. From navigating school halls, new friends, vampires, and school clubs... Back home it should have been the usual drill, but things started shifting. And I urm...might have been messing around where I shouldn't. VOL 3 I had to miss a couple of school days this week due to my ah, long term bout of "anemia". It's been pretty intense at home. My alpha position was challenged, rogues burnt down our home, I rescued my first fight dog, discovered the Lorent's secret oracle, almost rescued my mate...and accidentally stumbled into my Alpha Dad's secret. VOL 4 My worlds collide as some members from my pack come to my school to sell concert tickets. And when Grandpa Alpha shocked us all by dying, my dad's family comes together to pay their last respects at the Night Forest Pack. VOL 5 It's February and the Vampire Queen is celebrating her birthday. Would Rebel's plan to escape work out? Meanwhile, I'm stuck in school dealing with high school drama, an evolving wolf, and a new human sister. In the Red Packlands, war nearly breaks out. (This might have been a very little bit my fault.) VOL 6 It's the week of Valentine's Day, but I've got a highschool play, Lorent drama, Vampire slaying training, and an underground army to deal with first.

River's stone had unlocked warlock trouble, the rogue king has moved in, and then there's Uncle Louis' economical problems... one at a time. Just let me survive Code Black and figure out what's going on at Heller's first, and I'm sure everything else will work out somehow. VOL 9 Its the last week of school and the exams are over. Its like for better or worse, all the big bad things are over now. At home, My pack works to clean up the aftermath of the rogue war, the warlock's defeat, and Jude's betrayal. In school, everyone treats me more or less the same... like a freak. Meanwhile, our school play is in dire straights, and as the Last Hurrah's debut draws near, I get ready to say good bye to Winderhill for good. VOL 10 We follow Dad to the past to stop the traitor (AKA Jude), from ever stepping into our Packlands. It would've been a good plan too - if it didn't change EVERYTHING. Now, I can't help but feel my life is ruined. Nobody understands me. Is it selfish of me to wish none of this ever happened? Why does my world have to be so magical?

Why does the universe seem so silent if it harbors countless stars and planets? In The Fermi Paradox, a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration, readers journey from the paradox’s humble beginnings—when Enrico Fermi posed his famous question “Where is everybody?”—to the cutting-edge technologies and theories that might finally yield answers. Through ten meticulously structured chapters, this volume unfolds the paradox from every angle. It begins with the historical and scientific foundations that shaped the early debate, then delves into the staggering scale and probability calculations suggesting we should be surrounded by extraterrestrial civilizations. Readers are guided through the latest astronomical observations—why we see only “great silence” where we once expected cosmic chatter—and introduced to pivotal theories like the Great Filter, the Rare Earth hypothesis, and the darker side of technological evolution. Sociological and economic analyses add human context, revealing how cultural forces might shape our cosmic destiny. Finally, The Fermi Paradox tackles alternative conjectures, from simulated realities to hidden alien probes, before mapping out future directions that blend ethical questions, advanced detection projects, and a synthesis of the most credible scholarly references. For anyone seeking a deep, multifaceted understanding of why our universe appears so quiet, this book offers both clarity and wonder.

Three times the universe has begun with a bang, and twice it ended with the stars being devoured by something that does not exist. The third time, however, something that *should not have existed* hijacked the process. 729 eternal proto-stars now orbit the Cornerstone of all Creation, in which sleeps Arius, the Arbiter of the fifteen dimensions Creation exists in, and Nobody; as Guardian of the Non-Euclidean Infinite Archive, existing outside of reality... isolated . Across those fifteen dimensions which the two watch over; preside "Bearers of Sparks," or "Exceptions," empowered by the myriad stars, and metaphysical influence, spread across the multiverse. Beings across all fifteen dimensions are bound by a plethora of things, but first and foremost aside from causality is something called "The First Anomaly," which exists in all dimensions simultaneously. The dimension it is observed in will shift reality in accordance with a number of precepts, which are determined by the second most prominent binding aspect of the Third Cycle: "The Rule of Three." The Rule of Three is the physical formation of a paranormal law of nature, which acts as a causal filtration device. It also has a secondary function, which allows for Exceptions to offset and utilize any amount of energy in flux by bypassing the typical side-effects of thermodynamic energy transfer as we understand it. This is not to be confused for magic, because magic has a cost. This isn't reality bending/warping in the conventional sense either, as it's not bending the whole of reality but a singular aspect in a nigh-infinite multitude of potential ways, with 100% energy efficiency in cost/effectiveness/application which those who are not Exceptions cannot replicate without multiple sponsorships. This story follows an abnormality above anomalies; an Exception among Exceptions, a Transmigrator from the other side of an otherwise impassable wall, by the name of Lee Kühren.

Outside his window, the city throbs alive as he wrestles with his demons, trying to change slowly: loud, chaotic, indifferent-a reminder of another set of dreams he once had but which he can no longer touch. Haunted by his own mistakes and the weight of past decisions, Juno attempts to make amends with his estranged mother and work through his complex relationship with Heather-a mysterious woman who seems to have secrets of her own-but he finds his isolation and paranoia worsening. Confronted by his own demons, reality and delusion begin to blur in a spiral of crime and self-doubt. Juno's is a story of redemption, defeat, and the quest for meaning in a world seemingly out to consume him. As Juno stands before the city-so full of paradoxes and lies-he knows his next step will be a choice between continuing the role of "dark horse" or breaking the vicious circle and becoming the person he has wanted to be all this time.

What happens after death? It's a mystery no one can say. Before being betrayed, he had always held on to the belief that there are two realms to go to after death: Heaven and Hell. However, after being betrayed, he found out that it's not like that. Almost everything he learned about was a fallacy. The universe was not created but naturally formed. Arishem, the ultimate ruler of Heaven, was once a human who found the Celestial Ruler and created Heaven. Lucifer was under him, using the Karot to direct souls from the universe to empower Lucifer by turning them into soul drops. Lucifer betrayed Arishem and ran away with the Karot. He created Hell using the treasure and started monopolizing all the souls from Earth. Souls had no way to enter Heaven again, thereby preventing Arishem from getting stronger through absorbing souls, so he had to use another way detrimental to the universe. Which way is it? Wallace was betrayed by his family and died; his soul went to Hell, where he learned that he would have to undergo extermination and become nourishment for Lucifer. He learned that stories about benevolent Heaven were not real, as they wanted; they were all looking for ways to monopolize souls and exterminate them to make themselves stronger. He did not accept his fate; he had to go through three different trials so that his will could be erased, and he would surrender. Nine deaths, Cerberus' wrath, and the Soul Rending Whip were enough to break the will of any soul and damage them. Not willing to surrender, he had to go through the three trials, going through unimaginable torture and pain. In the third trial, there was the emergence of another treasure, the Karum, on his dead body. With the help of Karum, his soul was called back from Hell and melded into his body, turning him into a half-human, half-spiritual being, while also nurturing something of unimaginable precedence in his body. The Celestial Ruler created Heaven; the Karot created Hell. What can the Karum, the last creation treasure the universe can nurture, and one that's far stronger than the two former treasures, do? Can he fulfill what it can do? Can he survive under the pursuit of Heaven and Hell? What secret does the universe hold? How was the universe created? Is it from the emergence of a treasure? What’s the secret behind everything?

A rogue experiment has unleashed a time rift fueled by the Fractured Hourglass, a mythical artifact rumored to hold dominion over time itself. As Elias and Lila race to stop the rift, they uncover a chilling truth: the Hourglass is merely a fragment of the Chrono Core, an ancient power capable of rewriting history—or erasing it entirely.  But the Core’s secrets are guarded by shadowy forces. From the neon-drenched underworld to the Institute’s ivory towers, Elias confronts rogue time travelers, paradox-born monsters, and his own fractured memories. Every step closer to the Chrono Core warps reality further, forcing Elias to question what—or who—is truly real. As the rift consumes the city, he must decide whether to repair time… or shatter it to save humanity Will Elias Voss outrun the ghosts of his past, or will time itself become his greatest enemy?  The Chrono Detective is a high-stakes journey through a collapsing world where every second counts—and every choice could doom reality itself.
