The Unattainable Flower'S Twisted Bloom

Crown Prince Yun Chi chose as his consort the youngest daughter of the Hua Family, Hua Yan, and the news shattered the hearts of countless ladies in the Capital City. It was said: the Crown Prince could write poetry at three, compose essays at seven, debate with the greatest scholars at ten, shoot arrows with precision at twelve, oversee the examinations of all scholars at fifteen, and was regent by the time he was sixteen. He reached the pinnacle in letters, the extreme in martial arts, his looks were world-shaking, and his presence unrivaled. Hua Yan felt as though a gigantic pie had fallen from the sky, landing squarely on her head. From then on, was she to compete with the entire world for this man? -------------------- Yun Chi: Standing at the pinnacle of the Azure Clouds, he learned the art of balance, practiced the strategies of an emperor, envisioned the land and skies in his heart. Within the nine-layered royal palace, he could turn his hands to clouds and his palms to rain, holding sway over the court and the nation, trimming himself into a figure free from desire and henceforth unyielding. Hua Yan: She viewed herself as beneath the dust, with all her emotions and desires, disliking the Son of Heaven's court, preferring the ordinary alleys, treading on ten feet of soft red and experiencing all facets of life. She believed that nothing was better than green mountains and clear waters. "If you promise me a lifetime, I will accompany you for an eternity."

The action takes place in 2119-2120. Since 2113, a protracted nuclear war has been going on between the Asian and Western Blocs. The war was preceded by the "Pre-War" for Indonesia, which began in 2107. The historical period of the Pre-War & War has already formed an entire generation. The "war process", as it is called, has little in common with ideas about a global Armageddon. The economy of the Western Nations is privatized by two superholdings - "constellations", which are parts of a single whole and do not compete. Over the years of the War, the ruling circles of different levels have achieved goals that were not initially set. This is the write-off of the US national debt, which paid for the construction of the global defense of the West, the implicit occupation by the US of its allies, partial privatization of the US itself by constellations. In the Asian Bloc, the picture is similar. Between the Blocks there is a channel for concluding and observing shadow "anti-apocalyptic" agreements - the "seventh headquarters". This is a nuclear-powered superplane-headquarters constantly flying over Antarctica. By the end of the 2110s, a peaceful settlement of the "Only War" is no longer being considered. Instead, the option of "Conversion of the Military Process" is being actively developed - minimizing military actions on the fronts, denuclearizing the War and "pushing" military actions into "high space orbits". The top of the constellations and the billionaire technocrat Bandon the Third in particular are interested in such a scenario. The "converted" War will open up freedom of action to form a new society, industry, morality and the exit of a selected part of humanity to the development of other planets. The moral values of the top of the constellations and Bandon are quite dubious. A certain crisis event, the details of which were determined later, was chosen as the impetus for launching "Conversion" several years earlier. An important element of this scenario is a certain personality - the leader of the rebels who seize a nuclear base, an aircraft carrier, etc. The role of the personality is doubly important due to the fact that the crisis event must develop on display, "in front of the cameras", to the whole world. The question of the motivation of such a personality is complicated by the fact that most candidates for this role will inevitably see such an enterprise as risky and having an outcome that is unpredictable for them. The problem is solved by preparing an agent with a processed consciousness - a fragment of memory and life that contains preparation, moral pumping and technical training for such an agent is hidden, erased. One of these sleeper agents, Andrei Zavirdyaev, lives the life of an ordinary CSCE employee (the old-new name of the OSCE). The crisis event is determined - it must be the hijacking of a new shuttle. Zavirdyaev, who completed his "sleeper agent course" in 2113, regularly undergoes a "technical inspection" - during trips abroad, he is received by secret services, partially "de-mothballed" by his memory, checked and "updated". During the "update" in 2120, he is told that he is to hijack a shuttle. He does not need to control the vehicle and mission - he is a supermedia "monkey with a grenade". The plan starts successfully, the media machine successfully carries out the stages of the program developed by the constellations. Another character is an extraterrestrial life form that looks like a 35-year-old northern European woman. This is Haldoris Landskricht. She is an "avatar" of the mind of a black hole located in one of the arms of the galaxy. Despite all the exoticism, the psychological appearance of her personality is quite human. Living among people, possessing a number of superhuman abilities, she avoids directly and openly influencing the historical process, not wanting to make things worse. Haldoris Landskricht does not agree with the plans of the constellations…

Restarted Bloom, follows the Journey of a humanoid robot named Ten who was created by the last living human. Ten sets out on a journey to find "Mankind's Last Hope" after 18 years of his creators passing.

Fate knows that timid people won't amuse her, so she serves them plain death as a conclusion. Being a philosophy student, the sixteen year old Kanito Aramishi had a humble yet principled personality. But his dreams were rather jejune : living a decent and respectful life. If there was something he hated the most, it was standing out. He hated to become the centre of attention. However one day, his biggest fear came true, a life-changing event uprooted him from his sweet life of normalcy. Returning home one night from his high school's farewell party, Kanito finds himself struck in an array of supernatural events. He is stabbed in the chest by a mysterious man and as he is about to die, he sees ferrocious, otherworldly creatures appear out of countless red portals. "Please God, give me refuge in Heaven." is what he ponders on the brink of his death, but then, a saviour descends down from the skies who whisks him away to a different world. In this new world, Kanito finds out that a mysterious race called the "demons" have waged a war against possibly every life form in existence. He learns that the destruction of his world was not merely an apocalyptic event but a planned invasion by this race. This single event landed the first blow to the strong foundations of his morality. The night he bid farewell to his school became the night he bid farewell to his own world. He accquired the status of a refugee, a stain that he will carry forever. What is this growing cruelty inside? Is violence, hatred and horror justified in a cruel world? What will Kanito choose – the newfound cruelty or the long-cherished empathy? Will he stick to his beliefs or will he give them all an egregious definition? Those will answered as the march of time continues revealing the refugee's and eventually the world's true purpose.

Die Handlung spielt in den Jahren 2119–2120. Seit 2113 tobt ein langwieriger Atomkrieg zwischen dem asiatischen und dem westlichen Block. Russland gehört zum westlichen Block. Dem Krieg ging der „Pre-Krieg“-Krieg um Indonesien voraus, der 2107 begann. Die historische Periode des Pre-Krieg-Krieges hat bereits eine ganze Generation geprägt. Der sogenannte „Kriegsprozess“ hat wenig mit Vorstellungen von einem globalen Armageddon gemein. Die Wirtschaft der westlichen Nationen wird von zwei Superholdings – „Konstellationen“ – privatisiert, die Teile eines Ganzen sind und nicht miteinander konkurrieren. Im Laufe der Kriegsjahre haben die herrschenden Kreise verschiedener Ebenen Ziele erreicht, die ursprünglich nicht gesetzt waren. Dies betrifft den Erlass der US-Staatsschulden, die den Aufbau der globalen Verteidigung des Westens finanzierten, die implizite Besetzung ihrer Verbündeten durch die USA und die teilweise Privatisierung der USA selbst durch Konstellationen. Im asiatischen Block bietet sich ein ähnliches Bild. Zwischen den Blöcken gibt es einen Kanal für den Abschluss und die Einhaltung von Schattenabkommen gegen die Apokalypse – das „Siebte Hauptquartier“. Dabei handelt es sich um ein nuklearbetriebenes Superflugzeug-Hauptquartier, das ständig über der Antarktis fliegt. Ende der 2110er Jahre wird eine friedliche Beilegung des „Einzigen Krieges“ nicht mehr in Betracht gezogen. Stattdessen wird die Option einer „Konvertierung des militärischen Prozesses“ aktiv entwickelt – Minimierung militärischer Aktionen an den Fronten, Denuklearisierung des Krieges und Verlagerung militärischer Aktionen in hohe Weltraumumlaufbahnen. Die Spitze der Konstellationen und insbesondere der milliardenschwere Technokrat Bandon der Dritte sind an einem solchen Szenario interessiert. Der „konvertierte“ Krieg eröffnet Handlungsfreiheit für die Bildung einer neuen Gesellschaft, Industrie und Moral sowie den Austritt eines ausgewählten Teils der Menschheit zur Entwicklung anderer Planeten. Die moralischen Werte der Spitze der Konstellationen und Bandons des Dritten sind höchst fragwürdig. Ein Krisenereignis, dessen Details später geklärt wurden, diente als Anstoß für den Start von „Conversion“ einige Jahre zuvor. Die Frage nach der Motivation einer solchen Persönlichkeit wird dadurch erschwert, dass die meisten Kandidaten für diese Rolle ein solches Unternehmen unweigerlich als riskant und mit unvorhersehbarem Ausgang betrachten. Das Krisenereignis steht fest – es muss die Entführung eines neuen Shuttles sein. Zavirdyaev, der 2113 seinen „Schläferagentenkurs“ abgeschlossen hat, unterzieht sich regelmäßig einer technischen Überprüfung. Auf Auslandsreisen wird er von Geheimdiensten empfangen, sein Gedächtnis teilweise entmottet, überprüft und aktualisiert. Bei der Aktualisierung im Jahr 2120 erfährt er, dass er ein Shuttle entführen soll. Als die Zeit für die vollständige Entmottung gekommen ist, wird Zavirdyaev von den relevanten Planbeteiligten abgeholt, zwei Tage lang adaptiert und findet sich im Pilotensitz des Schiffes wieder. Er muss weder Fahrzeug noch Mission steuern – er ist ein Supermedien-„Affe mit Granate“. Der Plan beginnt, die Medienmaschine führt die von den Konstellationen entwickelten Schritte des Programms erfolgreich aus. Eine weitere Figur ist eine außerirdische Lebensform, die wie eine 35-jährige Nordeuropäerin aussieht. Es handelt sich um Haldoris Landskricht. Sie ist ein Avatar des Geistes eines Schwarzen Lochs in einem der Arme der Galaxie. Trotz aller Exotik ist ihre psychologische Erscheinung durchaus menschlich. Da sie unter Menschen lebt und über übermenschliche Fähigkeiten verfügt, vermeidet sie es, den historischen Prozess direkt und offen zu beeinflussen, um ihn nicht zu verschlimmern.

“These bedchambers have missed your scent.” His voice, low and rough, made her pulse quicken. Her fear surged, boundless, as he closed the stained glass doors behind him. “Please… let me go,” she pleaded, trembling as he pulled her close, his touch burning against her skin. “You fled this place while carrying my child.

Yet that life shattered with a single conversation. One day, her father appeared in her chambers, eyes solemn, bearing news that upended her world. “You will be married,” he said, but the name wasn’t that of the man she cherished. Instead, she was to be wed to the ruthless crown prince of the rival Demon Empire, an alliance forged to quell the simmering tensions between their kingdoms. “Father, please…” she begged. “My child,” he murmured, his voice heavy with regret. “It is your duty as the firstborn princess. This marriage will protect the realm… and your little sisters.” For the first time in her life, Luciana saw him bow to her, his plea wordless but clear. Yielding to her father’s desperate request, she accepted her fate. In a single day, she went from princess to wife, her dreams abandoned and her future reshaped. But the white wedding gown was soon stained crimson, marking her descent into a life she could never have anticipated.

In the vast, ever-shifting lands of Florencia, magic is not drawn from the elements, but from the essence of flora.

He’s infamous, not just for his talent, but for his cursed lineage—descended from a bloodline that once shattered the balance of magic. But when Kieran stumbles upon the legendary Blood Lotus, a flower said to rewrite fate itself, he does something no one expects—he offers it instead of wielding it. To who?

Isolde, once sheltered, must now learn to fight, and Kieran, for the first time, must learn what it means to protect rather than destroy.

But magic is fickle, and the more they use the power of plants, the more they realize—the flowers are watching them back.

Hindi nakilala ni Greg ang Selene na nasa harapan niya. Pagkagulat at takot ang kanyang naramdaman. Matalim at nagbabanta ang tingin sa kanya ng dalagita. Makikita ang hinanakit sa mga mata nito. Iyon ay dahil hindi na siya nagparamdam dito simula ng malaman niyang buntis na ang kanyang asawa. Magiging ama na siya kaya kailangan niyang magising sa katotohanan. Hindi na niya pwedeng ipagpatuloy ang kabaliwang ito. Ngunit kung lalabas ang katotohanan ngayon, mawawala ang pamilyang pinapangarap niya. "Makinig ka Selene, nangako tayo sa isat-isa na magiging lihim ang tungkol sa atin." mahinahong wika ni Greg dito. Namumuo ang galit sa kanyang dibdib dahil sa sitwasyong pinasok niya. "Do you really think I'm just a child who make stupid promises?" nilock ni Selene ang pinto sa likod niya. Kung sa tingin ng ninong niya ay mapapaikot siya nito, nagkakamali ito. Hindi siya inosenta at mas lalong hindi siya mabuting bata... Unti-unti niyang tinaas ang laylayan ng kanyang yellow dress, sinundan ni Greg ang kanyang mga kamay kahit nilalabanan nito iyon. Nang mahawakan niya ang samplot na tumatakip sa pinakamaselang parte niya. Dahan-dahan niya iyong binaba... She's a bad child, a very bad child...
