At The Mountains Of Madness

They are 3rd-semester students who are filling their holidays by climbing a mountain located in the interior of their city. Keenan, who has conquered the climb on this mountain, invites his friends, Laras, Hasan, Tissa, Rengga, Alya, and Riki, to try to feel the sensation on the mountain, which is famous for its extreme climbing and test your courage. During the climb, they met Rico, a climber friend that Hasan and Keenan know. Rico, who has a sixth sense, sees and feels many things that he did not expect. Starting from the sound of a tiger's roar, meeting the attitude of a good guard, and other oddities. The climb that they expected would be fun and full of interesting things all changed because of one prohibition that they had violated; many illogical and mysterious events occurred: Tissa was missing, Rengga was injured, and other tense things happened on this mountain. The existence of two illogical worlds, other dimensions of life that are very different. They passed through and felt everything that became the myth of this mountain, so this mountain was finally called the Forbidden Mountain. Did they manage to get out of this mountain safely or did they end up in another life on Mount Srinjani?

A realm populated by mortals, where demigods and gods were beings of fables and legends only. This peaceful and mundane world experiences an irreversible change that gives rise to not just cultivators but brands of new lifeforms. Demons rise up as animals transform and gain intelligence, and the world itself changes forever. After thousands of years, the one behind this cataclysmic event is finally reborn into a new family, body, and existence as a ruling empire's famous general's daughter. This may cause some unexpected hurdles along the way... But what else would make it more fun to reach back to the top if not a new challenge?

Lin Dong, who has mastered both the divine medical arts and martial arts, has traveled from the mountains to the city. With divine medical arts in his left hand and unbeatable martial arts in his right, he roams freely in the city.

A million years ago, he had traversed the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, braving countless mysterious Life Prohibition Zones, in search of a way to resurrect that foolish woman, but inadvertently learned one earth-shattering secret after another. Thereafter, he went through nine cycles of reincarnation, strategizing over the world, casting his net across the heavens, with the Myriad Realms as his board! In this life, he had returned from reincarnation, his Qi engulfing mountains and rivers, "It’s time to close the net..."

Dying wasn’t part of the plan. But staying dead? Turns out, that’s not an option either. When our not-so-lucky soul gets trapped in a jar—yes, a jar—he knows something’s gone terribly wrong. Even worse, the one responsible is a devilish little girl who treats cosmic horrors like playthings while using legendary artifacts as mere kitchen tools. She’s making something… monstrous… And he? He’s probably one of the ingredients. Join our hapless soul as he bounces (sometimes literally) between life-threatening trials, whimsical chaos, and the occasional brush with cosmic insanity—all while trying to survive a devilish little girl who is anything but ordinary. Welcome to a world where nothing is what it seems—where the absurd meets the terrifying—and everyone’s a little bit mad. Readers can expect: Slow start but gains a faster pace, bouncy action, madcap adventures, humorous moments, LitRPG/GameLit elements, lots of fantastic creatures and magical stuff, spooky mystery, tons of character focus, lots of worldbuilding, reader interaction, a dash of cosmic horrors and a slice of madness. Chapter Frequency/Update: One chapter a day, every day of the week, for now, until I burn through all my keyboards and run out of money to buy new ones... Oh, and when I finally answer my boss who has been calling non-stop for me to come in to work... --- Hello, fellow adventurers, dreamers, and story-chasers! I’m Mochibun—a fluffy bun with a knack for writing and a heart full of whimsy, here to share my journey into a world of madness, cosmic shenanigans, and bouncing mochis (yes, you read that right). Who am I? Picture a person sneaking under blankets as a kid, flashlight in hand, devouring books while gaming on the sly, hoping their Asian parents didn’t catch them. Fast-forward to today, and here I am—a lover of art, literature, and everything in between, crafting worlds I’ve dreamed of for far too long but was too terrified to share. (Cue dramatic music.) Why am I here? A friend nudged me—okay, shoved me—into finally putting one of my most cherished stories out there for all to see, and now there’s no going back! It’s called Wandering Wonderland, or rather, I wanted to call it Mochi Madness at first, but ended up making that the title of the first volume instead, and you'll find out why later, much later. It’s filled with wild adventures, a mischievous devilish girl, cosmic horrors who are more scared of the main character than he is of them, and of course, a little dash of mochi-flavored madness. If you’re up for a story that’s whimsical, funny, and just a tad bit insane, you might enjoy joining me on this journey. What can you expect from me? I’ll be posting one chapter a day (yep, I’m on writing vacation mode), and then as my normal job creeps back into the picture, I’ll aim for 4-5 chapters a week. No promises on world-saving plot twists, but I guarantee lots of platformer-inspired shenanigans, adorable cosmic chaos, and a poor soul who really didn’t ask to be trapped in a jar by a girl with a black belly, whose cooking skills terrify even eldritch horrors. PS: I take editing and proofreading quite seriously, but if you do manage to actually find any grammar mistakes or other errors, point them out in the comments and I'll share with you some of these gigantic triple-chocolate chip cookies that I bake from time to time~ Feel free to drop by and say hi, share your thoughts, or even give me a virtual hug (I might need it). Let’s wander this wonderland together, one madcap chapter at a time. And hey, if you’re curious enough to check out my world and meet those within it… Well, who knows what sort of mischief you’ll stumble upon? *wink wink* Mochibun, signing off with lots of fluff and fantastical dreams~

Introduction In a sprawling universe teeming with Devs, Devis, superheroes, and villains, a cosmic tapestry unfolds, woven by the divine hand of Omkar, the god of gods. With boundless creativity, Omkar birthed countless universes, each with its own destiny. In each universe, Omkar’s magnum opus, a trio of celestial beings emerged—the illustrious Trimurti. Lord Brahma, the master of creation, Lord Vishnu, the guardian of preservation, and Lord Shiva, the harbinger of destruction, commanded awe and reverence, earning the collective title of Trimurti from their celestial peers. As the universe flourished under their watchful gaze, Trimurti bestowed unique powers upon an array of Devs and Devis, crafting a pantheon of extraordinary beings. Among them, the valiant Dev Indra was anointed as the leader, guiding the others with divine wisdom and strength. Yet, not all creations were as benign. To maintain cosmic balance, the Trimurti created formidable monsters known as rakshas and asura. However, these creatures, driven by a thirst for power and a desire to conquer the world, waged war against the Devs and Devis. The indomitable Trimurti, alongside their faithful Devs and Devis, rallied against the onslaught, cunningly sealing the ferocious beasts within the depths of Patal Lok, a realm hidden away from mortal eyes. To secure these prisons, intricate keys were forged by the skilled hands of Dev Vishvakarma, locking away the menace for eternity. With the menace contained, the Devs and Devis retreated to Swarglok, a realm of unparalleled serenity. Yet, tranquility alone couldn’t quell their ambitions. A collective decision was reached among the deities to create five elemental rings, infused with the raw power of cosmic energy—a force transcending mortal comprehension. These rings were designed to empower worthy beings to maintain cosmic balance. Dev Vishvakarma lent his divine craftsmanship to shape elemental stones, complementary to the rings, yet bereft of the ability to choose their owners. With their creation complete, the five rings were safeguarded within separate chambers, veiled in secrecy and shrouded in enigma. Their exact locations remained a mystery, whispered only among the Devs and Devis themselves. Eons passed, the echoes of legends fading into the annals of time. Until one fateful day, when a single individual, against all odds, gathered the rings and unleashed the incarcerated terrors from Patal Lok. Chaos erupted, and the universe trembled in the wake of unprecedented devastation. Yet, even in the darkest hour, the Devs and Devis rallied, vanquishing the assailant and vowing to withhold direct intervention in the affairs of the universe. Retreating once more to Swarglok, they concealed the rings within their chambers, their exact fate uncertain. Some believed the chambers fell apart through the passage of time, while others whispered of a sinister hand deliberately shattering the barriers that guarded the rings. Now, as the cosmic sands of destiny shift, the search for these celestial artifacts begins anew. Whispers of their existence flutter amidst the starry expanse, waiting to be discovered by those bold enough to embark on an extraordinary quest, where the fate of the universe hangs in the balance.
