This novel, a masterful blend of fantasy, mythology, and philosophy, unfolds a world reborn from the ashes of a cataclysm. The story begins in the predawn hours of September 23, 2019, an ordinary moment that would become anything but. An unexpected calamity struck, not born of nature's wrath but from a profound upheaval within the very fabric of the cosmos—the Heavenly Principle. The Heavenly Principle, the fundamental law that sustains balance across all creation, underwent an unprecedented transformation at this pivotal moment. The wishes, fixations, and desires of countless beings surged like an unstoppable tide, permeating the heavens and earth. The power of these emotions was so immense that even the Heavenly Principle could no longer bear it, leading to its ultimate collapse. With the disruption of this cosmic order, malevolent thoughts ran rampant, intertwining with benevolent intentions, as fixations and desires entangled in a chaotic yet formidable force. This force not only reshaped the real world but also gave birth to a realm of fantasy shaped by the collective consciousness of humanity. In this new world of fantasy, boundaries between myriad realms dissolved, and different dimensions and timelines intertwined, forming an unprecedented multiverse. Here, all things were liberated from the constraints of traditional laws, vying for freedom under the frosty sky, embodying a renewed vitality. Yet, this world was not solely one of light and beauty; it was also fraught with challenges and peril. The once-suppressed negative emotions now manifested as tangible entities, becoming obstacles that impeded the progress of its inhabitants. Through this narrative, the novel explores the depths of human emotion and the intricate relationship between humanity and the universe, inviting readers on a journey through a world where destruction and creation coexist, and where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur.

You know how it goes: regular guy, regular day, ~flying truck~. Not just speeding—flying. It wasn’t some freak accident, either. That truck came for me like God had finally decided, “Enough of this guy.” One moment, I’m a pancake; the next, I wake up in a magical fantasy world. Cool, right? Wrong. My parents? Too busy chasing some grand ambition to bother with little ol’ me. Instead, they dumped me on the world’s oldest nanny. She fed me soup, tucked me in, and hovered like I was still in diapers. Being the bright child I was, I thought, Why not ask for a younger, prettier nanny? Cue my dad giving me the business end of his parenting philosophy. Lesson learned: don’t sass the guy who holds the purse strings and a heavy belt. Still, it wasn’t all bad. Magic existed! I mastered Grade 1 spells in no time and discovered the joys of alchemy—aka, the legal loophole to making BOMBS. Life finally had some spark, pun fully intended. I was living my best fantasy life... until I spotted a familiar name. A school. A name that nagged at the corners of my mind. Wait. Isn’t this straight out of that novel I read once? But which novel?! I can’t remember squat about the plot—except one terrifying detail: I’m the villain. The doomed, laughably incompetent villain. Fine. If this world wants me to be the bad guy, I’ll do it my way. Who says villains can’t win? Heroes, take notes: I’m armed with alchemy, explosions, and a bone to pick with fate. This time, the villain’s rewriting the story. Watch me blow it all sky-high.

'Sinner of the Spades' takes place in an alternate early 20th century, at the turn of industrial advancement. Set in a world where one Empire rules over the majority of the western continent, the world is ravaged by the aftereffects of a great war. It is a world of tragedy, of longing for wealth, of parading high above the clouds, of mechanical automatons, and of grand tales of sorcery not many have had the chance to see themselves. Lumière Croft is a show magician in the middle borough of the city-state of Leiden- rather, an illusionist. A career liar. Responsible for making money to help out at the monastery he lives in, he can only curse the dreadful circumstances around him, and wish desperately that something would change. Although, that change is not always a good thing. Only when the shadows around him begin to creep, and when the sky grows burgeoning eyes, and when blood is spilled, does he find hope of fulfilling his wishes. To have sunlight, the world must be balanced with cruelty. To have power, one must lose their soul, humanity, morality, or sanity. One must ultimately balance the scales of their debt, or fall eternally to suffering, and have the scales corrected by force. This is the story of balance, of hope, and of the tragedy of a liar. —- “We’re all liars who pretend that the world is okay, and as liars we adopt philosophies and ideologies to cope with its cruelty. Because the world has hope, as long as we speak these lies loud enough, they’ll surely become true.” - Lumière Croft. --- Cover illustration done by @i_evuuu/Everest

Beneath the moss, soil, and decaying wood lies a predictable existence, shielded by the glass walls that define his reality.

A young archaeologist is gazing at a huge stone block, his heart filled with curiosity and awe for ancient civilizations. His gaze seems to travel through time and space, back to the cradle of human civilization - the Mesopotamian plain. There, the ancient Sumerians created the world's earliest writing and urban civilization. Their wisdom is like brilliant stars, illuminating the beginning of human history. As time passes, the sparks of human civilization ignite in different regions. The glory of ancient Greek city-states is remarkable. Athens' democratic system, Sparta's martial spirit, and the wisdom of numerous philosophers have jointly forged the glory of ancient Greek civilization. During this period, thinkers like Plato and Aristotle have had a profound influence. Their pursuit of truth and reflection on human nature have laid the foundation for the development of philosophy in later generations. In the far east, Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms and established a vast empire. The construction of the Great Wall testifies to the tenacity and wisdom of the Chinese nation. It is not only a military defense line but also a symbol of the unity and struggle of the Chinese nation. Qin Shi Huang's great unification opened a new chapter in Chinese history, and his political system and cultural policies have had a profound impact on later generations. In India, the glory of the Maurya Dynasty and the spread of Buddhism have influenced the entire Asia. Ashoka's rule brought India to an unprecedented prosperity, and the teachings of Buddhism spread to neighboring countries along with trade and cultural exchanges. The compassion, wisdom, and peace concept of Buddhism have injected new vitality into the development of human civilization. As time goes by, medieval Europe fell into darkness. The constraints of feudalism, the oppression of religion, and frequent wars made the people of Europe live in dire straits. However, the dawn of the Renaissance brought new hope. The masterpieces of artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo have become treasures of human civilization. With their outstanding artistic talent, they have demonstrated human creativity and the pursuit of beauty. The Silk Road connects the east and the west, bringing the blending of trade and culture. Chinese silk, tea, and porcelain are transported to the west through the Silk Road, while western spices, gems, and cultures also enter China. This ancient trade route not only promotes economic development but also strengthens exchanges and cooperation between different civilizations. At the same time, wars are constantly changing the world pattern. Alexander the Great's eastern expedition spread Greek culture to the east and promoted the integration of eastern and western cultures. The western expedition of the Mongol cavalry swept across Eurasia and established a vast empire. Although wars have brought destruction and pain, they have also promoted exchanges and integration between different ethnic groups.

At the heart of this gilded fortress resides Princess Anya, a young woman sculpted into the epitome of royal perfection. From a young age, Anya's smile has been practiced to radiant precision, her every action a display of unwavering obedience. Yet, beneath the flawless facade, a flickering flame of curiosity and longing tugs at her heart, a yearning for a life beyond the carefully choreographed existence she's been forced to accept. Anya's world is upended when her father, the King, announces her arranged marriage to Prince Darius of a neighboring kingdom.

"Dream of the Red Mansions," the seminal novel penned by the Qing Dynasty writer Cao Xueqin, presents a vivid tapestry of life within the aristocratic society of China's feudal era. Despite the constraint of word count, I shall endeavor to encapsulate its translation into English and offer a concise portrayal of its iconic imagery. The title "Dream of the Red Mansions" itself, translated as "A Dream of Red Mansions" by Yang Xianyi and Gladys Yang, alludes to the grandeur and opulence of the Jia clan's mansion, where the story unfolds. In Western cultures, "red" might connote blood or violence, whereas in the Chinese context, it symbolizes prosperity and status. This translation, though faithful to the original, carries a nuanced cultural difference that foreign readers may interpret through the lens of their own experiences. The novel revolves around the Jia, Shi, Wang, and Xue families, portraying their rise and fall amidst the complexities of power, wealth, and love. The protagonist, Jia Baoyu, an enigmatic young man endowed with a "Jade of Spiritual Enlightenment," finds himself at the center of a web of relationships, particularly his unrequited love for Lin Daiyu, a delicate and sensitive beauty, and his arranged marriage to Xue Baochai, a more practical and conformist figure. The translation captures the intricate emotional landscape of these characters, rendering their intricate feelings and motivations in a manner that resonates with English-speaking audiences. The beauty of Lin Daiyu, for instance, is described in poetic terms that evoke her ethereal grace and fragile fragility, while Xue Baochai's character is portrayed as a bastion of traditional virtues, embodying the expectations of feudal society. The novel's imagery extends beyond the personal lives of its protagonists, encompassing the intricate architecture of the mansions, the rich tapestry of cultural practices, and the profound philosophy embedded in its poetry and prose. The "Red Mansions" themselves become a metaphor for the fleeting nature of wealth and power, serving as a backdrop for the play of human emotions and desires. In translation, the novel's rich cultural heritage and nuanced language pose significant challenges. Yet, the translators have striven to preserve the essence of the original work while adapting it to suit the sensibilities of English readers. Through their efforts, "Dream of the Red Mansions" transcends linguistic and cultural barriers, offering a window into the vibrant world of China's feudal aristocracy and the human drama that unfolded within its confines.
