"I have loved you since the very first moment my eyes met yours, my dear Rick," she cried, her fists pounding weakly against his chest, tears streaming endlessly down her face. A massive army of demonic beasts was closing in on them, their eyes set on their prey. She couldn’t fight. Not now. She needed a permanent magical conduit to unleash the full extent of her powers.

Suddenly, a system screen appeared before both of them: [Do you wish to become Roulan’s magical conduit? You will never be able to share your soul with another woman. You will be bonded to her forever. Do you accept?] Rick didn’t need a foolish system to ask whether he wanted to stay by her side. But will Roulan survive? Will the flame of their love burn bright to the very end? Read on to find out.

In a world where timelines and universes intertwine, two souls are eternally bound by a love that defies time yet is perpetually thwarted by an enigmatic force. A mysterious curse known as *The Origin Curse* ensures that every time these star-crossed lovers come close, fate tears them apart, scattering fragments of their memories across different lives and worlds. The story begins in an era where civilization has not yet reached its peak. A humble healer, Jian, discovers two ethereal lights repelling and attracting one another in the wilderness. These lights manifest as a boy and a girl. Forced to choose, Jian saves the girl, Yue, using his family’s last Soul Rebirth Pill. The boy seemingly perishes, but unknown to Jian, his essence is taken in by the dark forces of the world. Yue grows up in Jian’s household, becoming a brilliant healer with a fiery temper that leads her to both heal and harm. Her adoptive brothers protect her fiercely, but tragedy strikes when a war manipulated by an unseen antagonist costs the eldest brother his life. Meanwhile, the boy, now raised as a cold assassin in the Dark Sect, wrestles with fragmented memories of a past life where he was tender and loving. As the story unfolds, the curse’s shadow looms larger. The physical manifestation of *The Origin Curse*—a mysterious antagonist—emerges, weaving chaos into their lives. The boy and girl are drawn together by inexplicable forces, their shared past flickering at the edges of their minds. Yet, the closer they come to understanding their connection, the more violently the curse works to separate them. Through shifting timelines, hidden secrets, and an unrelenting cycle of love and loss, Yue and her counterpart must uncover the truth of *The Origin Curse* and confront its physical embodiment. Only by unraveling the curse’s origins can they hope to break free and rewrite their destiny. Filled with suspense, romance, and the weight of timeless longing, *The Spark That Repels Us* is a poignant tale of love's endurance in the face of impossible odds. Will they find a way to be together, or are they doomed to forever be fated to be—but never to be?

MOUNTAIN SITTING IMMORTAL (MSI) A conduit of the great Dao happened to enter the grotto heaven called Earth. No one had been able to take ownership of this conduit for many years until Marvin came into contact with it.  Marvin met the requirement to use the conduit. This allowed him to begin his journey towards immortality.  The journey begins from transcending the first mortal coil at Body Forging to transcending the second at Energy Gathering, passing through the subsequent mortal coils, and hopefully to becoming a true immortal with eternal life. But the conduit is far more useful than helping a dying business tycoon gain another lease at life. It is also a conduit of great power.  This power and many more will be his as long as he continues to sit on his mountain and grows the mountain into a colossus. The mountain will bring him to greater heights and greater power.  This is the story of the Mountain Sitting Immortal.

An international high school teenager named Shouichi Desterling often idled away his time, letting his thoughts run rampant with a wild imagination. However, those intrusive thoughts were well-contained within his mind. Following the recent passing of his father, Shouichi was transferred back to his hometown, Kurohashi, to live with his long-separated mother — the only family he had left. Kurohashi is a secluded small town, surrounded by mountains on all sides. Despite its seemingly ordinary appearance and a minuscule population of just 5,000, the village harbours an oddity: the only way in or out is via a gloomy steel bridge. Not long after his arrival, Shouichi quickly bonded with his classmates, experiencing the semblance of a normal high school life and even finding love. Yet, amid this ordinary existence, he began seeing and feeling inexplicable “things.” Were these strange occurrences mere tricks of his mind, or was there something truly sinister lurking in the shadows? As events unfolded, Shouichi found himself increasingly unable to suppress his mounting insanity and the dark urges creeping into his thoughts. Each day, the air around him grew denser and heavier, as though the very atmosphere bore the weight of an unseen menace. ------------------------------------------------------- Visit the Link below for the Cast Card with a short description/ the Character Drawings/ Chapter Complimentary Images: https://linktr.ee/joeing25 Currently contained: Shouichi, Ayane, Shinji, Emi, Momo, Misaki ------------------------------------------------------- ~ Thank you for reading! ~
