Ha Jin In The Pond

He has Risen: The Legend of Kiyoshi

In the wake of the Great War of 3044, the world of Ethera is fractured, its nations divided by ancient grievances and rising political tension. Kiyoshi, once known as the feared Demon of Calamity, vanished during the war after unleashing untold destruction. Presumed dead, Kiyoshi awakens centuries later, a shadow of his former self. With no memories of his past, he wanders aimlessly, his immense mana causing the very forest around him to warp and thicken with magical energy. He is eventually found by Ceng-tae, a villager from a nearby town, who brings Kiyoshi into a quiet, rural community. There, Kiyoshi tries to piece together fragments of his lost past while forming new bonds with those around him—Celosia, a shy but powerful spirit-user burdened by her father’s plans for an arranged marriage; and Rajieru, a mischievous and unpredictable warrior with a penchant for breaking the rules. However, Kiyoshi’s peaceful life is interrupted by troubling signs from the outside world. The delicate balance between nations is unravelling, strange magical occurrences are on the rise, and whispers of forgotten demons and ancient powers grow louder. Celosia’s arranged marriage is part of the village’s desperate plan to secure their future, but the tension it creates threatens to tear them apart. Kiyoshi and his companions head to Kuoh Academy, a prestigious school of magic where they can hone their powers and uncover the truth about Ethera’s looming conflict. But as Kiyoshi starts to experience disturbing flashes of his past—visions of chaos, war, and a power beyond imagination—he realizes that his return might not bring peace but the resurgence of an ancient, hidden evil. As Kiyoshi and his friends delve deeper into the academy’s mysteries, they begin to unravel a startling truth: history has been rewritten, and the demons—once thought to be the enemies of the world—may not be the true villains after all. With his past slowly catching up to him, Kiyoshi must face the darkness within himself and decide whether he will be the world’s saviour or its doom.

The Pond that Absorbed Me

I wish this story had more readers, cuz the ML is hilariously self- devastating jerk on a survival mission with gorgeous company he doesn’t care about. They shared constellations earlier, but now light-years separated their ‘whispered’ wishes… *** In a moment of unforeseen Fate, a young man reaches into the icy waters, but with a sudden, forceful pull, he is drawn into its depths. Now shrouded in the Darkness he endures his imprisonment there. “Reconnecting with an old friend is like finding a lost jade—if only it were worth the trouble.” Xiǎo Fù, The Servant. *** Meanwhile, in the secluded monastery the Great Master’s rage ignites when his servant vanishes. Four days of torment, anger, and longing leave every monk wishing for their own end… until an unexpected visitor comes. “Your Stupidity is the Yin to Wisdom’s Yang. Keeps the balance, you know.” Xījiǎo Yùshén, The Water Master. *** At this very time, the Prince suffers distress by the grief of loss, spending his days in drunken mourning in order to dull the pain. He doesn't have any desire to cling to life anymore, but being immortal, he cannot just die. “Eternity? Like waiting for a thousand cherry blossoms to bloom—one by one.” Mùnchén, The Second Prince. *** Forbidden practices, Heavenly secrets, Fate’s defiance and the Realms on the brink of War. As well as Curse, Scheming, Sacrifice and Punishment that turns God into Wandering Spirit, and Spirit into only Heavenly Heir. Sarcasm on the edge of torture, both evoke the bittersweet ache of missed encounters and unfulfilled destinies. *** THE LEGEND In a world where Realms are connected, there's an old tale—a Legend that whispers of Balance and hidden Powers. According to this lore, all Realms share a common origin, and their Fates are intertwined. Realms are destined to coexist as one. Here, no hierarchy prevails—no masters, no slaves. Instead, Realms harmonize, their existence interwoven threads. Should the Balance falter, Chaos looms, and the Abyss threatens to swallow everything. Yet, when the Abyss fully absorbs the Realms, the Celestial Source establishes a new Cycle of Life, and brings new Realms to coexist. But even if the Abyss is undeniable, a hope remains, for within the same Source that birthed the Abyss lies an indomitable Force—a Guardian, the One, born to confront, combat, and seal it. Thus, the current Realms gain their chance at survival. *** PS This story was planned long ago, but life is life, so I only decided to share it within online community now. That’s why your support means a world to me >> give me, pls, at least the smallest sign that my work is not in vain so I can happily proceed writing. I’m grateful for your like, comment or review. I appreciate every reader who spends their time following my characters’ journey throughout the chapters and helping me develop their best and worst traits, as well as torture, challenges, punishments and adventures. Thx in advance! *** All intellectual property rights of this novel are owned by the author (uttophian).

Nature has Rebelled [Interstellar]

For as long as the world can remember, nature was breathtakingly beautiful. ____ In the interstellar era, their long voyage led them to the pinnacle of evolution. Even in the vast sea of the stars, they remained at the top of the food chain. However, this also led to them losing their only home. Their beautiful blue planet, the birthplace of life, has long been destroyed. On the remaining habitable planets, spiritual plants have become scarce, and all animals have died, leaving them with nothing but mutant aliens. Even the soil, the water, and the air were polluted. The green scenery and the clear sky are like mirages, living only in their dreams. But what if nature rebelled? In the long passage of longing, they had forgotten that nature itself was, in fact, more cruel than any of them.    —   General Liele, the current strongest combatant of the empire, was severely injured after the last coalition war. As a result, he degenerated back into his mimetic juvenile form, unable to turn back. If his situation persists, he’ll be locked in a sanatorium and live like a mad prisoner for most of his life.  But such is the fate of all of his predecessors.  Before descending into utter madness, he instinctively followed a young girl who had the fragrance of flowers. The girl was tiny and soft. She especially looks fragile.  However, she goes in and out of the black market and all known illegal planets. Owning an unauthorized robot and driving an unlicensed Mech, not abiding by the laws, how rebellious are you?! Kidnapping juvenile mimetic forms, keeping black households, hiding illegal immigrants, and hijacking the army network! Be honest, are you a space pirate?! The general felt he had indeed boarded a pirate ship, and it was too late to jump off. For the sake of his food and housing, that's fine; let's be the most fearsome interstellar pirates. #Interstellar #Farming #Slowpacing Tentative update schedule: Once a week, every sunday night, with 5-7 chapters per update. Note: I edit as I write so please don't be too harsh on careless mistakes. Please. Please. I write this as a hobby and for a break so it's for my good mood.

In the quiet

The heavy rain pounded against the windows, a relentless reminder of the storm raging outside. Inside, Elena stood at the edge of the living room, her arms wrapped tightly around herself as if the cold could keep the memories away. She had heard the knock at the door, but she didn’t move. She wasn’t sure if she could. “Elena.” The sound of her name broke through her thoughts, soft but insistent. She turned, and there he was—Liam, standing in the doorway, drenched from the downpour. His eyes were dark, filled with something she couldn’t name, and his lips parted like he had so much to say but didn’t know where to start. “I didn’t think you’d show up,” Elena said quietly, her voice trembling despite her efforts to sound steady. She didn’t want him here. Not now, not after everything. Liam took a step forward, his eyes never leaving hers. “I had to. I couldn’t leave things like this between us.” The words stung more than they should have, but she held her ground. “Things ended between us, Liam. You made sure of that.” He flinched, as if the words were a slap. “I know I did,” he said, his voice tight. “I was stupid. I pushed you away when I should’ve fought for you. And I... I didn’t trust you when you needed me to.” Elena’s heart twisted at the raw sincerity in his voice, but she couldn’t let him in that easily. “Why now, after all this time? After everything that’s happened?” “I don’t have an answer for that,” he admitted. “All I know is that I can’t keep pretending I don’t care about you. I never stopped caring.” The silence between them was thick, a chasm neither of them knew how to cross. The world outside continued to rage, but in that moment, it was just the two of them. Elena’s pulse raced, her mind torn between wanting to believe him and fearing the hurt that would come if she let him back in. “I don’t know if I can trust you again, Liam,” she whispered, the words slipping out before she could stop them. He stepped closer, reaching out like he was about to touch her but hesitated. “Then give me a chance to prove I’m worth trusting.” Elena’s breath caught, her chest tightening as something inside her wavered. For a moment, she could almost believe him. But the scars ran too deep. “I need time,” she said, finally looking away. “I need time to figure out if I can even forgive you.” Liam stood still, his expression a mixture of regret and understanding. “I’ll wait. As long as it takes.” And for the first time in a long time, Elena wondered if maybe—just maybe—she could let the past go and start again.

She Has the Eyes of Death

Thya D’Arcy is no ordinary noble. Cursed with the ability to see how and when people will die with just a glance into their eyes, she’s spent her life shrouded in guilt, fear, and isolation. When she foresees the slow, inevitable death of her best friend, Avyanna—crown princess and heir to the Maximillian throne—Thya is paralyzed by the knowledge. Bound by her curse and unable to change fate, she keeps the truth to herself, even as Avyanna’s condition worsens. A year later, Avyanna is dead. And Daisuke, her fiery, vengeful younger brother, ascends to the throne as Crown Prince. He knows Thya was hiding something. He suspects her silence cost his sister her life. His once-mocking disdain turns to ruthless hatred as he plots his revenge. Meanwhile, Thya retreats from the world, burdened by the torment of her gift and consumed by self-loathing. But peace isn’t an option when the Imperial Crown Princess Trials are announced. Daisuke pulls strings to ensure Thya is summoned—forced to compete for the very throne she never wanted, knowing full well the arena will break her. Terrified of dying in the lion’s den of political intrigue and vengeance, Thya does the unthinkable: she looks into her own eyes in the mirror to see her fate. Her vision? Her own death by Daisuke’s hand, a dagger buried deep in her chest. Trapped in a game she can’t escape, Thya is thrust into the Imperial Palace—her life now a ticking clock. She must survive the Crown Prince’s wrath, navigate cutthroat politics, and somehow protect herself from the cruel twist of fate she’s seen. Yet, in the shadow of hatred, something unexpected sparks. Because when emotions run as hot as theirs, hatred and love are closer than anyone dares admit. And for Thya and Daisuke, that line might just be fatal.
