Quotes Of Alan Watts

When Qin Ke woke up after her death, she realized that she was lying in a bridge hole, surrounded by darkness and a few dead people, and there was a game panel right in front of her. 　　The panel was very familiar to her, and it was the very game she had been playing before her sudden death. 　　It's a crime solving and mystery solving game where the player is drawn into the intrigue of multiple cases, each with their own unique escape challenges and surprises. 　　Surprises? Surprise! 　　It's exciting when you put it in a game, but it's deadly when you put it in reality! 　　There are thrilling unsolved cases waiting for you to scout, find out who is the culprit, be careful of the people around you, even passers-by may be hiding a big secret!

Once Mankind ruled the world. And living within the fringe of society, hidden but existing among us were the inhabitants of myths, fables, and legends. Then came the Crimson Plague, followed by the mass hysteria changes, and then the War. The War of Race broke out among the nine factions of the Etherborn society, led by the Vampires and the Children of the Light. Six millennia later, after the Long War, the nuclear holocaust, and the darkening of the sky, a new civilization prospered. The Children of the Light are gone, mankind has fallen from the top, and the Vampire race leads the new civilization. And among the Vampires are the seven Noble House that rule the Major nations. Follow the journey of Lilith Kain, Ariella Ashtarmel, Elijah Ashtarmel, and Eduardo Gomez as they strive to survive in a world that preys on the weak. … I will be posting this story on Royal Road.com.

Alan Yokob dies as he lived—in a blaze of violence. A hitman with a reputation for ruthless efficiency, his final act is a fiery car crash. But death is not the end. When Alan opens his eyes, he finds himself in another world. Complely different from earth. “Welcome to Kirath,”. Once, this realm teetered on the edge of annihilation until mortals overthrew the Demon King’s tyrannical reign. But a thousand years of “peace” have left Kirath fractured—its magic withering, its lands plagued by cataclysms, its people rotting from complacency. The solution? Resurrect the demons. And they’ve chosen Alan, a man who traded in death, to wear the crown. To survive, Alan must wield the **Oblivion Pact**, a parasitic system that rewards carnage with unholy power. Kill to summon ★Soulrenders★—demonic warriors bound to his will. Conquer to rebuild. Rule to channel the chaotic energy that once made demons the world’s necessary evil. But Kirath’s fractured kingdoms see only a monster, not a savior. Holy knights hunt him as a blasphemy. Fallen heroes, drunk on their ancestors’ glory, vow to finish what their forebears started. As Alan battles to resurrect a demonic legacy he doesn’t believe in. The demons were not mere oppressors—they were shackles binding a far older terror. Now, with their power waning, that ancient hunger stirs. To save Kirath, Alan must become the Demon King the world fears… or watch it drown in the hubris of its own “victory.”

Born with a boon which turned into a curse. The revenge of War God shall end the world. He is born to defy the heavens, and to rule the earths, The greatest cultivator shall endure the death due to love. The eternities of parting will deepen the grudge when the War God shall awaken again from the depths of the hells.

-WSA 2025 Entry- Action/Comedy At the end of the world, he gave his life to save a friend, only to be reborn as an orphan with 'Crab Affinity'.

Follow Barns' journey as he rediscovers his power of rebirth, which when combined with a little 'crab magic' has the power to reset humans back to their original selves.

Ezra sold his soul to the Storyteller for a chance to live in a world of magic. And Oberyn? He didn’t ask to fall from the moon - he was cast away, shackled by a destiny he refuses to obey. A surge of magic is tearing their fantasy world apart - an unstoppable force neither of them can control. But if Ezra and Oberyn want to survive, they’ll have to surrender to something even more dangerous: each other. First as reluctant allies, then as friends... then as something more. Ezra is plucky, loving, and full of heart, Oberyn is proud and aloof, single-mindedly pursuing his goals. They couldn’t be more different - until they discover their shared love of fantasy novels. Fate may have brought them both to a new world, but Control is something neither of them can surrender. Ezra and Oberon must navigate the line between dominance and devotion - because in a world where magic bends to will, control is the only thing keeping them from losing everything. The only question - who will give in first? Genres: Transmigration, System, Magic, Intense Romance, (R-18), Action boyxboy (bxb) and gay pairings (MCxML as well as side characters) Updated Daily. Please support this story so that these boys can have their happy ending! --Excerpt-- "It's a beautiful sky," Ezra remarked, brushing against Oberyn as they stood side by side, staring upward. "Looking up, I could almost forget I’m in a new world. The sky is just the same as the one on my Earth." Oberyn didn’t step away. He let himself enjoy the moment. "I think I’d like to hear about your world, sometime." Ezra smirked. "Only if you tell me about your moon." Oberyn’s heart skipped. He’d nearly forgotten telling Ezra that he was from the moon. He was surprised the human even remembered. Their hands were close enough to touch - to lock fingers if they wanted. Oberyn curled his hand, thinking about the sensation, indulging himself for the shortest of moments before he broke away. “We’d better get going."

Rowan sees beauty in death. The Order he has sworn to obey only sees defilement. As the reviled Caretaker of the Order, Rowan has accepted his role as a dutiful outcast because he believes it is the only way to prove his worth to the man who holds his sisters’ souls as collateral. With his magic and his voice, Rowan can absorb death and transform it, but only in ways the Order deems acceptable to maintain the stability of the reality it claims to protect Order must subdue Disorder. Reality must triumph over illusion. He is tainted and always will be. Rowan has never questioned those lessons, but that changes the night he harvests a crimson soul that is more than human and chooses to keep it a secret. When Rowan’s song transforms that soul into a beautiful and mysterious man he names Wren, he is forced to accept that sometimes duty is a lie and illusion is the only thing you can trust. As the fabric of the Order begins to unwind and a new kind of Disorder takes hold, Rowan will need to choose again, stand with the Order that held him down, or forge a new path with Wren at his side. He may be the only one who can restore balance to the worlds, but only if he can find balance within himself first. ************************************* Updates 3-4 times per week. Note: This story focuses on relationships. I promise an epic romance, lots of swoon-worthy moments, and a healthy amount of fluff. When it does get steamy…you might get burned. Fair warning for explicit content. I don’t shy away from my spice. There are lots of side characters and couples to fall in love with, in addition to the main couple. If you love the idea of found family, you will be happy. This book is set in a non-heteronormative world, so you will see various gender identities/expressions and types of love. ************************************* Excerpt (if you want the full steamy version, you will have to read the book!): Still reeling from the new magic that coursed under his skin and unsure of how to react to the desire that threatened to take control of him, Rowan froze. Wren's hot breath against his mouth sent a jolt of pleasure through his body, and he choked back a groan. A different kind of panic flared in Rowan's chest, burning him as if he were the one on fire. This was what he wanted, what he'd thought about every night since Wren left. But wanting more was one thing. Acting on it was another. He'd spent so much of his life hiding, he didn't know how to do anything else. One corner of Wren's mouth twitched as Rowan pulled away. When he attempted to free himself from Wren's grasp, Wren just hauled him closer. Rowan liked that he didn't have to think about what to do next. His bare chest thudded against Wren's torso, and the heat from Wren's body merged with Rowan's skin, melting him from the inside out. "What did you just do to me?" Wren's deep voice vibrated against Rowan's chest. "The Disorder of your illusion was holding you captive. I…I absorbed it." "Oh? Where did you learn to do that? Have I been gone that long?" Wren's grip loosened slightly on Rowan's wrists as if he was satisfied now that Rowan was practically sitting on top him. Rowan stared at Wren's lips. He opened his mouth to protest, but immediately closed it again. "I know you aren't going to say that I shouldn't touch you." Wren's free hand splayed over the small of Rowan's back. "Not when you started it." Rowan's breath hitched. "No. I'm not going to say that anymore. Not to you." "I thought you were afraid to be touched." Wren's fingers traced a circle over the curve of Rowan's spine as if testing for a reaction. "I know that I'm not afraid of you." Rowan waited for the panic to set in, but all he felt was desire. "With you, I want…" "You want what?" "I want more." Triumph flared in Wren's gaze before he narrowed his eyes. "Really? Then why are you still trying to get away from me?"

We will follow a young god through his rise to the peak of universe. But first we’ll talk about his home galaxy. A large galaxy that resided at the edge of the universe. It was a spectacular view from space. The beautiful vibrant colors of The Godly Garden Galaxy. The colors moved in a spiral like clouds. That varied from shades of blue,green,yellow, and orange. As we move in closer to his home dual blue dwarf star system. The two suns were like two lovers in a field of flowers spinning in a perfect circle. While holding hands. The suns stayed on opposite sides, perpetually chasing each other. While almost 30 planets resided around the chasing stars. Only 5 planet’s resided in the habitable zone around the suns. The biggest planets resided on the ends of the line of planets. Looking at the largest most lush looking planet. You could see multiple large continents. The planet must of been double the size of Jupiter. Overwhelmingly massive, causing an abundance of life to flourish. From dog sized squirrels to enormous dragons. All supernatural are a natural occurrence here. The entire planet was humid, and hot. Causing all places to have tropical environments.

In the world of Drasia, where diverse lands and cultures intertwine, the focus of attention shifted dramatically to the Olympus civil war, a conflict that threatened to reshape the balance of power across the realm. Amidst this turmoil stood the city-state of Draconia, a formidable and influential entity known for both its prowess in trade and its swift, decisive actions against any who dared to oppose it. At the heart of this turbulent landscape emerged the enigmatic figure of Alex, known as the God of Balance. With his keen strategic mind and unparalleled leadership, Alex led his armies not only in battle but also in the advancement of civilization itself. He provided them with the tools of war and the means to propel their societies forward. Yet, beneath his outward facade of strength and determination, Alex harbored a deeper understanding of the delicate equilibrium that governed the world. As the Olympus civil war raged on, Alex saw the need for intervention to restore balance. He marshaled his forces and intervened, aiming to bring about a swift conclusion to the conflict. However, as peace seemed within grasp, Alex witnessed a subtle shift, a realization that perhaps war itself was necessary to maintain the fragile equilibrium of the world. Join Alex on his journey as he navigates the intricate web of alliances and rivalries, leading the unofficially most potent nation in the world – the Empire of Draconia. Built upon the foundations of blood, sweat, and tears, Draconia embodies the vision and determination of its founder, Alex Luker Draco.

A world ruled by sin. A truth carved in stone. The seven sins do not whisper—they command. They shape rulers and ruin the weak. They dictate power, influence, and survival. In a world where sin is strength and virtue is folly, love has no place. It is a relic of a forgotten past, a mere echo lost in the chaos. But echoes have a way of returning. And when they do, even sin must listen.

Before the veil was ever known, the world of Eldoria was torn apart by war. The once-united elves fractured into warring kingdoms, their pride and ambition driving them into endless conflict. The dwarves, masters of stone and steel, waged brutal wars beneath the mountains, their clans divided over ancient grudges. The giants, lords of the skies and peaks, clashed in a battle for dominion, while the orcs and trolls fought for survival in the unforgiving swamps and wastelands. For centuries, blood stained the lands as each race sought power, vengeance, and survival. But as the fires of war raged, something far more sinister stirred in the shadows. In the depths of forgotten tombs and cursed lands, the dead began to rise. Their hollow eyes glowed with an eerie light, their voices whispered of a long-lost king—and soon, all of Eldoria would tremble before the return of an ancient darkness.

Belford es un chico que sufre de la perdida de la persona que amaba después de ser llevado a otro mundo, ahora tiene como objetivo tratar de regresar con ella.

Her life was simple but full of love. Growing up under the care and affection of her parents, she found joy in their humble home alongside her little brother. Despite the poverty they lived in, she had everything she needed: a family, love, and peace. But peace is a fragile thing, easily shattered. One fateful day, a young man entered her life like a storm, uninvited and unwelcome. What began as a passing interest in her soon morphed into a dangerous obsession. At first, she tried to dismiss his attention, hoping he would move on. But his fixation grew darker and more consuming, stealing away the innocence of her once-happy world. “Why can’t you just leave me alone?” she had cried, her voice trembling with both anger and fear. “Because you’re mine,” he had replied, his voice calm but chilling. “You just don’t realize it yet.” His obsession became a force of destruction. He tore through her life like a wildfire, leaving nothing untouched. The final blow came when her little brother, her greatest source of joy, was taken from her—killed by the same man who claimed to love her. Devastated and broken, she stood on the edge of the abyss, ready to let go of everything. The weight of her loss, her ruined innocence, and her shattered world was too much to bear. “There’s nothing left,” she whispered to the void, her tears falling freely. “Nothing worth staying for.” Just as she prepared to step into the darkness, a warm hand grabbed hers, pulling her back from the brink. Startled, she turned to see a man with kind eyes and a soft smile. “You called?” he asked, his voice gentle and calm, as if he’d been waiting for her all along. Before she could answer, exhaustion overtook her, and she fainted in his arms. With the shadows of the man who had destroyed her life still looming, will she ever manage to escape? And who is this mysterious stranger? Is this the end for her, or the start of something new?

For fourteen years, twins Shiro and Kuro have known only pain, captivity, and battle. Born to mortal parents, their fates were sealed before birth when a fragment of Zeus’s soul embedded itself within their mother’s womb. Blessed—or cursed—with the powers of lightning, air, and the cosmos itself, they were destined for greatness. But an unknown organization feared their potential and stole them away as children, murdering their mother and erasing their past. Raised in a secret facility, they have been trained—tortured—to become the most powerful warriors in history. With their abilities shackled by collars designed to control them, they endure relentless battles, endless experiments, and a cruel existence where even their pain is shared—when one twin is injured, the other suffers half the wound. Yet, something inside them stirs. A power greater than their captors imagined, something even their collars cannot suppress forever. As they approach their eighteenth birthday, their true inheritance awakens—the limitless power of the cosmos. With their full strength unleashed, they finally seize the chance to break free from their prison. But their escape comes at a cost. The moment they are unshackled, the world feels their presence—a presence long hidden by the facility’s suppression field. Now, their captors aren’t the only ones hunting them. Governments, secret organizations, and unknown forces all want a piece of the twins who command the storm. Forced into hiding, they take refuge in Ashnar Academy, the world’s top training ground for elite warriors, assassins, and combat specialists. But even here, danger lurks in every shadow, and whispers of prophecy follow their every move. Enemies are everywhere. Allies are few. And time is running out. Because the storm is coming. And Shiro and Kuro will either rise as gods—or fall as monsters.
