Doris Lessing The Grandmothers Four Short

Battling an unusual form of personality dissociation, Motan admits to feeling the weight of immense pressure bearing down on him. Amidst this turmoil, he finds solace in a virtual escape called "The Realm of Innocence," a game that has become his sanctuary from stress. In the realm where ambiguity reigns, Motan's behavior is unpredictable and impetuous, making him the instigator and mastermind behind myriad events that spiral out of control. Yet, within the sphere of virtue, his resilience and courage shine through, earning him the admiration of many who see him as the epitome of a righteous knight and a fair judge. When dwelling in the balance of absolute neutrality, he adopts a demeanor of modesty and lethargy, mirroring the ordinary essence of every soul. Conversely, in the domain of chaotic evil, he transforms into a figure of madness and cruelty, embodying the very essence of a demon and deceiver, showing kindness only to himself. "Tan Mo is the most extraordinary Bard I have ever encountered, though he is... perplexing, to say the least," comments Countess Leisha, reflecting on his complex nature. "Mor is a man of distinguished integrity! Having met him just once, I am convinced that he is someone one can confidently turn their back to," declares Gwen, the leader of the Rose Rot, acknowledging his noble character. "If you're in search of the ideal neighbor, look no further than Hei Fan," recommends Alchemist Luna, suggesting his suitability for companionship. Yet, amidst these varied testimonies, a warning resonates, "Don't talk about that man!" indicating a mysterious, perhaps darker aspect of his persona that remains unexplored.

The land is haunted by countless spirits, remnants of a turbulent past who relentlessly attack humans. Central to Threa's mythology is Origin, one of the revered Celestials believed to have created all things. Origin bestowed upon humanity the strength to advance and endure amidst relentless adversities. This divine gift has led to countless miracles, enabling humans to survive and even thrive in a world fraught with supernatural dangers. Yet, the greed of human's mirrors that of the spirits, as they keep seeking power and wealth that the action itself often backfires, leading to unintended consequences. The spirits with their perpetual hunger to absorb Life Energy, grow ever closer to the world of the living. This unnatural proximity begins to wrap reality, causing events that even defy the natural order. The history of Threa is rich with tales of heroism and despair, where the boundary between the living and the dead is often blurred. The spirits, driven by their hunger and emotions clash with humans, creating a perpetual cycle of conflict and survival. Yet, it is through these trials that humanity finds its resilience, guided by the celestial influence. ... Or so they believe. ... Would you be the same??!

In a world where everyone has a system that makes them stronger, we follow the story of four people: Nyra, James, Sylvrae, and Vayric. Set 27 years before the events of Floors of Divinity, each chapter focuses on a different character in the order of Nyra, James, Sylvrae, and Vayric. Each of them strives toward their own goals, but as their journeys unfold, their paths become entangled—sometimes for the better, and sometimes for the worse. Floors Of Divinity is not yet released as I'm writing this, but it already has over 40 chapters which are all getting fixed up.

war iscoming for them, every empire wants chinafor themselves

All the story here is only fictional

In a world filled with flesh mutations, darkness, and an eternal mist, the line between steampunk technology and arcane magic is blurred. Outside the city, monstrous beings roam, and light struggles to break through the thick fog. The boundaries between science and biology have dissolved, with horrifying experiments twisting human bodies into grotesque forms. Survivors must face both mutated creatures and insane minds, navigating a world corrupted by decay and despair. In this ruined world, hope seems like a distant dream, and survival is a grim, constant battle.

Note: Warning, this book is written by people who just wants things to be as much chaotic as it can possibly get. This is Infinite Glazing Work. Are you tired of those troupes where the MC hides their powers? Or one where the mc wants or has to save the world for his loved one. Perhaps, one where the world just moves in a predestined motion. One where it's a sandbox for the mc to grow. Are you tired of those? Do you want to just throw your brain out the window and try something garbage for once. Do you want a scenario where something just happens for the sake of happening and not because it's for an overarching plot. If so, welcome. Take a stop here and read what a group of (crazy) people has to offer. Fuck it, we ball. Serious note: - Fast-paced: Chapters transitions to other ones in a blink of an eye. - There are multiple main protagonists - mainly four of them. - Names are mixed. We'll be mixing names from different cultures as we see fit. Call it cringe, but it is what it is. Reasons you should read this novel: "Just try it."

This little book, this short collection of short stories, wasn't made to conquer the world. It was created to send a message, to reach people, to whisper in their ears with just one short phase: "I exist". All these stories hace just that in common, that whisper.
