The Broken Paths

In a world where cultivation shapes the Celestial Continent, who can unravel the truth behind a forgotten queen? Shrouded in whispers of betrayal and erasure, what forces conspired to erase Layla al-Zahira’s legacy—and why does Emperor Jinhai alone remember her reign? Awakening as Meilin Wuye, heir to the crumbling Silver Lotus Sect, Layla finds herself reborn into the same world she once ruled. Yet everything has changed: her kingdom is gone, her contributions erased from history, and her name reduced to nothing more than a fragile shell. Haunted by fragmented memories of her past life—a glorious yet tragic era marked by triumphs and failures—Layla must navigate the delicate balance between rebuilding her sect and confronting the shadows of her own erased legacy. But this time, she is not alone. Enter Atlas Ryland, the enigmatic merchant whose trading empire thrives on secrets and manipulation. Bound by contracts and mutual survival, Atlas becomes both ally and wildcard, his actions rippling across the empire as he challenges Emperor Jinhai’s iron grip on trade and power. Meanwhile, Emery Voss, a brilliant scholar-engineer obsessed with pushing humanity beyond its limits, partners with Zafira al-Rahim, a vengeful revolutionary driven by the ghosts of oppression. Together, they uncover traces of Layla’s unfinished inventions—artifacts of a forgotten age—and repurpose them for war. But as Emery grapples with the ethical implications of their work, she begins to question whether these relics will bring salvation or destruction. As Layla delves deeper into the mystery of her death and erasure, a lurking evil, ancient and patient, stirs in the depths of this world—an entity tied to the very fabric of reality itself. This is the story of "The Forgotten Queen" and her broken paths.

Broken Summon

The classroom was already half-full when he arrived. As usual, nobody met his eyes. He slumped into his seat, pulled out his phone, and— The world froze. Literally froze. The chattering students, the falling cherry blossoms outside the window, even the dust motes in the air—all suspended in perfect stillness. "Oh, wonderful hero," a melodious voice echoed through the room. "Your world faces a terrible crisis, and you have been chosen to—" "No," he said flatly. A pause. Then a shimmer of golden light coalesced into the form of a beautiful woman in flowing robes. She blinked at him. "I… what?" "I said no. I’m not interested in whatever quest or destiny you’re selling. Pick someone else." The goddess’s perfect features creased in confusion. "But… but you’ve been chosen! The prophecy speaks of a warrior with a fierce spirit, one who—" "Lady, I don’t care about your prophecy. I’ve got enough problems here without adding some fantasy world’s issues to the mix. Now unfreeze time and leave me alone." "You don’t understand," she pressed. "Our world is being ravaged by the Demon King’s armies! Millions will die without—" "Sounds like a you problem." He turned back to his phone, though the screen remained frozen like everything else. The goddess’s confusion shifted to anger. The temperature in the room dropped several degrees. "You dare dismiss a divine messenger so casually? Perhaps I should demonstrate the gravity of the situation."

Broken WORLD

"Broken WORLD" by Lapis L. Lazuli. --Timeframe: 2097. --Stage: Kowareta Sekai Island, Pacific Ocean, Earth. "Broken WORLD" is set on Kowareta Sekai Island, a mysterious place where inhabitants are trapped by a barrier that prevents them from leaving. The island is divided into districts controlled by powerful clans, each with unique abilities derived from a special energy called KAN (Keino Area Notice). The story follows Felix Fletcher, a former juvenile delinquent who seeks to escape the island and explore the world beyond. Felix's journey begins after his release from a correctional center, where he reunites with his family and best friend, Damian Denver. However, his life takes a dramatic turn when Michaelis Miller, leader of the powerful Emo-Jin Empire, attempts to kill him. This event sets off a chain of battles and alliances as Felix forms his own war clan, the Fletcher Clan: Remastered, to counter the threats against him. As the story unfolds, Felix faces numerous challenges, including a massive bounty on his head and a complex web of clan politics. He discovers that his father, Frederick Fletcher, is behind the bounty and seeks to create a ruthless warrior lineage. This revelation leads to a climactic battle where Felix and his allies confront his father. Throughout the narrative, Felix's character evolves significantly, particularly after the tragic loss of Damian, who is later resurrected in a surprising twist. The story also explores themes of power, loyalty, and the true nature of the island's barrier, which begins to crumble at the end, hinting at larger mysteries to be uncovered in future volumes. The narrative is enriched by a diverse cast of characters, each with their own motivations and backstories, and is narrated primarily by President Raegan Ricardo Rodrigo, with occasional shifts to first-person perspectives and interventions from an omniscient AI named Shatter A.I. Overall, "Broken WORLD" is a gripping tale of survival, friendship, and self-discovery set against a backdrop of magical powers and clan warfare. ("Broken WORLD" is the third book in The "What is Humanity?/Lapis L. Lazuli" Lore and the first novel of the four-part "WORLD" Novel Series by Lapis L. Lazuli).
