Pinocchio Paradox

SABERS: Shadows of Ravena

SABER-1 is more than a soldier—he is an enduring symbol of humanity’s resilience and adaptability in the face of extinction. A lone figure forged in the crucible of relentless warfare, his existence straddles the line between man and machine, embodying both the potential and the peril of humanity's technological evolution. His hulking frame, adorned armor marred by countless battles, evokes awe and fear in equal measure. Each stride speaks of purpose, each strike of unyielding power. Yet, beneath the reinforced plating and glowing visor lies the ghost of a man, burdened by the weight of his mission and the impossible expectations placed upon him. His silence is deafening, his actions louder than words. Every battlefield he walks becomes a testament to his efficiency, every engagement a symphony of destruction orchestrated by a mind trained to endure and overcome. SABER-1’s story is one of paradox. He is humanity’s greatest savior and its most chilling reminder of what desperation can create. His towering presence inspires hope in the hearts of those he protects, even as the brutality of his methods casts shadows over their admiration. The emblem on his chest—a sword piercing a shield, flanked by wings—serves as a beacon of his purpose: to defend, to adapt, and to ensure survival at any cost. But with each victory, a haunting question lingers: where does the man end, and the machine begin? As the lines blur, SABER-1 becomes an enigma—a figure of unparalleled strength and relentless determination, whose actions echo far beyond the battlefield, forcing humanity to reckon with what it means to survive and what it means to be human. SABER-1 is not just a soldier; he is a reflection of the choices made in the face of annihilation and the sacrifices required to carry the weight of hope.

the legend of the creators of the univers

Before time and matter, when everything known did not yet exist, there dwelled the Creators—eternal beings born from a paradox: natural forces that created their own existence. Gifted with infinite power, limitless ideas, and an absence of malice, the Creators shaped what we now understand as reality. With an infinite source of matter and creativity, they embarked on their titanic task: the creation of infinite universes. When their infinite matter was exhausted, they made a radical decision: to concentrate everything into a perfect sphere, smaller than a pinhead but with infinite mass. This act of perfection culminated in an explosion that divided existence into thirteen primordial universes, each with its own expansion and laws, governed by gods chosen by the Creators. In their most ambitious work, the Creators forged souls, imperfect entities with the capacity to perfect themselves through an endless cycle of life, death, and purification. Though burdened with emotions, souls possess the potential to achieve perfection by reintegrating into the grand universal cycle. While emotions spill over as imperfect residues, souls unconsciously create new worlds, perpetuating the cosmos's expansion. However, everything is destined for an end: an inevitable collapse where the thirteen universes will converge, destroying all matter. From this end, the void will arise once more—the eternal home of the Creators—where they will continue their endless work, a cycle of creation and destruction that never repeats but also never concludes. "The Legend of the Creators" is a reflection on infinity, perfection, and the constant search for meaning in a boundless universe, where every imperfection and every cycle are part of a grander design that transcends human understanding.

THE AFTERLIFE PARADOX

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?

Tower of Paradox

In a world where fate is fixed and destiny is unyielding, a mysterious structure appears overnight — The Tower of Paradox. Stretching beyond the clouds, its twisted architecture defies logic, its floors brimming with ever-shifting trials. Rumors spread like wildfire: the one who reaches the top will be granted a single, absolute wish. But the tower does not choose just anyone. It calls only to the “Marked”, individuals drawn by an unseen force to confront its deadly trials. Warriors, scholars, thieves, and the broken all gather at its base, each with a story, each with a desire. Glory, revenge, redemption — the tower promises it all. But every step forward comes with a price, and the deeper they climb, the less they recognize themselves. Among the Marked is Elias Grey, a man without a past, branded with a sigil that burns against his skin. Unlike the others, he did not come seeking glory or fortune. For him, the tower is not a promise — it’s a prison. Forced to climb or be consumed, he faces mind-bending puzzles, bloodthirsty foes, and illusions that force him to question his own reality. As the tower warps his mind and the lines between friend and foe blur, Elias begins to wonder: Is he climbing the tower, or is the tower climbing him? With each floor presenting a paradox of logic, morality, and time, Elias realizes the ultimate riddle lies not at the top — but within himself. Will he reach the summit and claim his wish, or will the tower claim him first? Face the unknown. Conquer the impossible. Escape the Paradox.

Chronicles of the Iterative Beyond

After the chaotic conclusion of the previous novel, reality itself collapses. Protagonists Kai and Andreas awaken in a realm unlike any other: the Iterative Beyond. This boundless, ever-shifting plane of existence is defined by endless layers of creation, each more complex and alien than the last. At its core lies the Forge of Recursive Creation, a mechanism that perpetually spawns new layers of reality, ensuring that no single layer can ever encapsulate the entirety of existence. However, the Iterative Beyond is in danger. A mysterious and malevolent entity known as The Null Artisan has begun unraveling the layers, threatening to erase not just the Beyond but all realities that stem from it. In this ever-changing realm, Kai and Andreas discover they possess a strange new power: the Echo of Creation, a gift that allows them to reshape fragments of the Iterative Beyond. Yet, they soon realize the cost of their power—every act of creation births new paradoxes, new layers, and pushes them further from the elusive "truth" they seek. To stop The Null Artisan, they must navigate the Cascade of Paradoxical Layers, a series of surreal realms where the laws of existence shift unpredictably. Along the way, they encounter enigmatic entities like the Architect of Chaos, a being who claims to know the true purpose of the Forge, and the Keeper of the Vortex, a guardian of forgotten realities. The ultimate goal is to reach the Core of Originless Expanse, the alleged heart of all existence. But as they delve deeper, Kai and Andreas must confront a harrowing truth: the Forge itself may not be a mechanism of creation but a prison, trapping them and every reality in an endless cycle of narratives. Faced with impossible choices, they grapple with questions of identity, purpose, and sacrifice. Can they truly escape the Iterative Beyond, or will they become yet another story within its infinite layers?

The Paradox of Emperal

Born into a world that deemed him powerless, Emperal was cursed to remain motionless, trapped in a body that refused to move. The world saw him as fragile—a broken soul fated to lie in bed forever. But what they couldn't know, what they never could have imagined, was that from the moment of his birth, Emperal awakened an ability so extraordinary, it shattered the boundaries of what was possible. He could move the world with a mere thought. Not just simple telekinesis, but with the kind of precision and mastery that could make mountains shift and oceans churn. A power that, for all its glory, came at a crushing cost. For every motion he commanded, his own body grew weaker. Every ounce of energy poured into shaping the world around him drained his life force, until he was left even more immobile than before. Worse yet, his power could never lift him—no matter how immense it became, he remained bound to his bed, a prisoner of his own extraordinary curse. For years, Emperal was trapped in this cruel paradox: capable of shaping the world, but incapable of even moving a finger. His strength was his prison. His power, his torment. But even in the depths of despair, his mind remained sharp. Watching. Waiting. Plotting. Then, on a day the world thought nothing of, Emperal made a choice. A choice that would shatter the very fabric of fate. With a single thought, he chose to end it all—not out of surrender, but as the first step toward rewriting his destiny. Because sometimes, the end isn’t truly an end. It’s the beginning of something far darker, far more dangerous. For when Emperal finally rose, it wasn’t as a savior or a victim, but as a force so unrelenting, so vengeful, that the world itself would tremble. Bound no longer by his frail body, he would wield his curse like a blade—and carve his name into existence itself. ... First time writing a book. Do review it. Thank you!

Proteus' Paradigm and Pandora's Paradox

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.

Werewolf: Sword of Anubis

This is the story of Adam, a werewolf in the world of "Werewolf: The Apocalypse," set in modern-day Los Angeles. Adam is an Albino Metis, a form of werewolf that is considered an abomination by most because they are born in their werewolf war form. Adam has another problem: he was raised in a lab, undergoing many experiments before having his first shift and being able to take human form. He was saved by a powerful sorceress named Faith. Faith raised Adam with two other adopted children, Adam’s adoptive sister Lucy, another sorcerer, and Adam’s adoptive brother Jessy, a boy with psychic powers. This is not a world were werewolves are underdogs, they are killing machines created by Mother earth, Gaia. They are in a desperate battle against the coming end, using all they have. They are shamans, tricksters, warriors, judges and storytellers amongst the shifting races. above all, they might be Gaia's hope or doom. Adam, in his war form, looks a lot like an albino Anubis, and in his wolf form, he looks like an Egyptian jackal. This form makes Faith and many others think that Adam is of the Silent Strider bloodline, a bloodline connected to Anubis, the Egyptian god. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few notes. First, the story is set in modern-day Los Angeles. This is a World of Darkness version, so many places would be different. Any character that resembles people in real life is accidental; I do not plan on using characters from the real world. All characters are fictional. Adam is bisexual with a preference toward more feminine appearances. He is mostly confused as he is a little antisocial, but there is the possibility of relationships or hookups. Adam is the product of experiment so he might be a lot stronger than what a normal werewolf would be but still that isn’t much in the world of godlike monsters. As for the story, I am using world of darkness setting. This story will feature characters and rules from the world of darkness with a few changes but all rights are reserved for Paradox and white wolf. This story is for mature audiences and it will contain: violence, sexual content, drug use, cannibalism themes, and many other mature content. Please take care.
