Dual Eternity: Fractured Dawn

Fifty years ago, the gods issued a warning—the Underworld will be unbound in two centuries, unleashing an apocalyptic catastrophe upon both Earth and Elysium. To prepare, humanity was granted access to Elysium, a realm of magic, monsters, and ancient power. Through the Soulweave System, humans could grow stronger, their abilities transferring between worlds. But death in Elysium was absolute, and the struggle for survival was merciless. Now, with only 150 years remaining, Earth has fractured into a dystopia ruled by factions that control access to Elysium’s resources. The Nightspires lead brutal expeditions, the Dawnbuilders refine Aether to sustain Earth, and the Bridgers maintain a delicate balance between the two realms. Meanwhile, the rogue faction known as The Unbound seeks to force the apocalypse forward, wielding forbidden magic to accelerate the collapse of reality itself. Elias Varian, a chemist and alchemist, has spent his life studying Aether, bridging the logic of science with the chaos of magic. But when an experiment with Void energy mutates him, he loses the ability to return to Earth through sleep—physically stranded in Elysium with a body unraveling under an unknown affliction. Hunted by those who fear what he is becoming, Elias must navigate a world that no longer sees him as human. As the countdown to the Unbinding continues, forgotten truths resurface, ancient forces stir, and the gods remain silent. But something else is watching—waiting. When the Underworld breaks free, will humanity rise… or shatter?

Understanding Entropy: Concepts, Applications, and Implications

Book Blurb: Understanding Entropy: Concepts, Applications, and Implications Discover the hidden force that governs everything from the behavior of microscopic particles to the evolution of galaxies in Understanding Entropy: Concepts, Applications, and Implications. This comprehensive volume takes you on a journey through the multifaceted world of entropy, offering a rigorous yet accessible exploration. Beginning with a clear and engaging introduction that lays the conceptual groundwork, the book guides you through the essential principles of thermodynamic entropy before delving into its formalism. With subsequent chapters dedicated to the microstate perspective of statistical mechanics and the nuanced quantum view of entropy, the text builds a solid foundation for understanding how energy dispersal and uncertainty are quantified in both classical and modern physics. The exploration continues as the author examines entropy’s crucial role in chemical and physical processes, highlighting its influence on phase transitions and reaction spontaneity. The discussion then bridges to information theory, where Shannon’s revolutionary ideas meet thermodynamic concepts to reveal surprising parallels in how we measure uncertainty. Interdisciplinary applications further showcase how entropy informs biological evolution, economic dynamics, and cosmological phenomena such as black hole thermodynamics and the heat death of the universe. Advanced topics and contemporary debates invite readers to consider cutting-edge research on maximum entropy production, the arrow of time, and non-equilibrium systems, while practical chapters on experimental techniques offer insights into real-world measurement and industrial applications. Finally, reflective discussions on philosophical and theoretical implications, combined with a critical evaluation of foundational works, round out this authoritative text. Whether you are seeking to deepen your understanding of energy, information, and complexity or to explore innovative research frontiers, Understanding Entropy offers an essential, interdisciplinary perspective on one of science’s most profound concepts.

Over the Bridges to Singing Waterfalls

"You and I need to declare to them that we are dating." "Neither stingy love nor false feelings tell of the inner beauty of a person. Only purity in the soul, to which people's gaze is subject, is worthy to cause amazement about the fullness of the person in whom that trait is placed." "Do you know what that made me realize?" Ryo said surreptitiously, and slowly turned around. "People need care," he added slowly, with a confident tone. "Why does one's happiness not return with a coin…? Why should I endure it for more than a decade? Did I do something wrong?" she said quietly, leaning on her knees. It was the cycle of her life. *** Tokyo, 2022.
