The Way-The World Stuck in Dimensional Transition

What is the way to the truth. This has been a question since ancient times, with many asking and few finding answers. Those who do find it each have their own path, yet all paths lead to the same destination. There are seven legends in this world worth exploring, originating from the seventh movement, sung by the ancients... Legends say the world exists in multiple dimensions, coexisting yet possibly invisible to one another. Legends say those who can transcend dimensions with their spirit are considered immortals or gods. Legends say the moon serves as a bridge for yin and also plays a crucial role in dissipating karma. In this world, existence relies on the balance between merit and karma; an excess of karma leads to annihilation, while an excess of merit results in ascension to higher dimensions. Legends say both annihilation and ascension require passing through judgment. Legends say in higher dimensions, the separation between Darkness and light(Underworld and world) no longer exists; distances can be traversed in moments, freeing one from the burdens of life. Legends say rules define boundaries, while the unpredictable serves as a test. Legends say dreams within dreams are all part of this world... Ancestor Lord Ma once said, "The Ma family has a clever little rabbit, always you...!" Thus, the world came to know of the narcoleptic patient, Ma Lang, the cold madman thrown into the nightmare world, and the story that unfolds in this peculiar, half-dimensional world that is neither here nor there!

TGD: My Way To Achieve Peace

==== Alternative title; The goddess of destruction; My way to achieve peace. Disclaimer — I'm not good with Synopsis but you know what, Read ten or twenty chapters before dropping it. ==== Yo, this magnificent babe in this room goes by Iris Hope, the goddess of destruction. How do I know it, you ask? Well, let me tell you a thrilling tale... Blah blah blah.... yadda yadda yadda.... (FLASH FORWARD 10,000 YEARS!) You get that picture, right? Anyways, On our main topic... I've been chilling on this planet for a hotminuto now. And gigured I'd put my oh-so-impressive talents to better use. That's why I cooked up my own top-secret organization - Ecilpse shadow - the Lillte Homies of Havoc! They're completely under my finely-manicured thumb. Told you I was a total boss, didn't I? So there I was, casually strolling through a mortal world, when I stumble across these measly assholes trying to, I dunno, take over their tiny speck of a world or something. I could've flicked that ill-conceived rebellion into oblivion with my pinky finger, but I figured I'd let the little rascals have their fun. And that wasn't enough. Then I, who was reincarnated into the body of a bullied person whose own parents treated them worse than trash... ugh, I'm getting dimensional whiplash just thinking about it. But THEN... Then, in middle of my new story... I had to deal with this whole messy love affair with Amelia.. who left me when I was... pregnant with her kid... Ughhhh, Bitch I will kill you for this. ... But of course, a few years later, she comes back to me, love me more and she is more cute than before. Still I stopped liking her when she leave me alone with my child. (After a few months later) ... And you know what? Despite my hate for her, I just couldn't resist that fatally attractive gravitational pull. Yeah, I get back together in relationship with Amelia and we're living our best lives... uh, without much problem until it was time for deadnova protocol organization to be annihilated but this secrets society was controlled by goverment who was on the half step forward to rule the whole world in its dictorship. So I have soo much to done, plan and schemes but... It is not hard for a smart person like me, fufufu. This organization is done for nothing. ========= [Discord — Join it for any questions: https://discord.com/invite/DhUBStB2wd]

The Entity in my head is Overpowered

"Hey, what would you do if an apocalypse were to suddenly happen?" Antoine asked. Such a harmless question, a question we didn't know would affect our lives. What exactly would you do if an apocalypse were to suddenly happen? "Oh you are referring to the movie we watched at Bella's right?" Javier asked excitedly, they began sharing ideas on how they'd stock up on food and secure their houses. "Did any of you stop to think what caused the apocalypse?" Melanie asked and they all looked at her "You are talking about stocking up on food, ammunitions, protecting yourselves and all that but what are you protecting yourselves from?" she added. "Is it a virus? Is it a bacteria? Is it a war? Is it Zombies? Is it an invasion?" "Javier, you want to rob a store and load up on electronic gadgets, how long do you think the power will last after you've surrounded yourself with tv screens, laptops and games, do you plan on eating them too?" Luella asked, "Eira you want food, what if the origin of the apocalypse was gotten from a bacteria in the food supply, or the water we drink everyday? How will you defend against that? You want to barrackade yourselves at home, what if it's an airborne infection? Will you stop breathing? What if its evolutionary?" As Luella spoke they all kept quiet till Isabella spoke up "Lance" she called out "Your nose is bleeding" she said, everyone looked to see Lance who was sitting among them bleeding from the nose. "Are you oka-" Nour who wanted to ask suddenly paused when Lance's head exploded. None of us thought we'd find ourselves in this condition, the day started normal, nothing out of the blue or strange happened. "Lance!!!" Nour yelled, she could hear her heartbeat loudly as everyone around her panicked. So why? Why? we asked ourselves, but the actual question we should have asked was HOW? In the span of less than 24 hours the world we knew crumbled, i lost everything that day, i couldn't even attend my mother's funeral, but the funerals after were beyond wild. I still ask myself from time to time, if i were to start again where would i want to be when it all started? At home with family? In church? Saying my last prayers... In a restaurant eating my favourite meal before something bites my face off? Or should i have joined Bella? Six feet under...

Entitled In A Scandalous Way

"Mam! Please Look Here!!" "WAH!!! You Are A Picture Perect!" "Miss Zhao, Look this side as well!!" "She Is A Scorching Beauty! Perfect from every angle!!" Zhao Yuhui mailed her brightening smile at the cameras as she waved at them, which travelled through lenses and wireless connection as an arrow of love all the way straight at the hearts of countless males. They say little girls with dreams become women with visions when they grow up and...where is the lie?? Zhao Yuhui spent her whole childhood dreaming about becoming an actress, her teen years preparing for it while her university days working for it. Coming from a middle-class family, only she knew the hardships she had to endure to get here only to get into... "Bruh, she is the only woman with no scandals! Her future husband is going to be so lucky." "What it has to do with you? She will surely not marry you! Period." And just like that, a week later the trending articles were- "The trending beauty was captured in several photos with a mysterious man!" "The photos were posted with the caption saying- During the risky scene, Miss Zhao's boyfriend jumped right into the water to save his precious beloved *heart heart*!!!" "It was just last week she was seen in year-end awards where she was even praised for not being in any relationship!" "Could the current most searched actor be lying all the time when she denied having any boyfriend?" But a statement released by the company extinguished all the fire, "Well, in response to the 'rumors' surrounding our actress we only have one thing to say, it was merely a security man doing his duty!" And without any need to mention, the 'security man' in the picture just wished to bang the head of his friend onto the wall after reading the reference. Days Later. Trending articles were- "New photos of Zhao Yuhui were released last night but this time with a new man in black-suit!" "Zhao Yuhui in the arms of another man!!" "The face of the man is hidden but looking at the posture, they could be predicted to be gazing deeply in each other's eyes!" "Has Zhao Yuhui finally immersed herself in the ocean of love?" Zhao Yuhui: "..." What ocean of love! Only if she wasn't held by her company to not respond personally. Not to miss the top comments- "I am no expert but why does the profile of this man looks similar to the profile of previous man?" "Now that you mentioned it, even I can find the similarities!" "His back profile is the only thing visible but dude...look at those broad-shoulders!" This time, in response a paragraph was released by her agency, "These photos are from the banquet she had attended couple of months back and the man in these photos...is just a bodyguard. He was only catching her when she slipped, ignore the angle at which photo is taken! This was clicked right after the accident so this man is the same security guard who was promoted to a status of bodyguard as a result of his excellence." Bodyguard? Qin Lixin stared at his friend with a stare as good as a piercing knife. "Qin Lixin, glad to know about your promotion!" *laugh* "You were the only one who ordered to protect your identity. This was the only thing I could do." The great friend in the question replied as he brought his hands up in surrender. "I asked you to stop all these baseless rumors with that girl not to change my profession each time!" Qin Lixin growled as he held his forehead. "What if it reached my mom?" "It won't, trust me." However... "Assistant Fang, get Qin Lixin here and also the girl." The Vice-President of Qin Industries ordered while throwing daggers at the photo lightening the phone screen. -*-*-*-* Instagram - bellzla.za Cover is not mine. All rights to Original Owner/Creator.
