The Pond that Absorbed Me

They shared constellations, yet light-years separated their whispered wishes… *** In a moment of unforeseen Fate, a young man reaches into the icy waters, but with a sudden, forceful pull, he is drawn into its depths. Now shrouded in the Darkness he endures his imprisonment there. “Reconnecting with an old friend is like finding a lost jade—if only it were worth the trouble.” Yang Su, The Servant. *** Meanwhile, in the secluded monastery the Great Master’s rage ignites when his servant vanishes. Four days of torment, anger, and longing leave every monk wishing for their own end… until an unexpected visitor comes. “Your Stupidity is the Yin to Wisdom’s Yang. Keeps the balance, you know.” Feng Bo, The Great Master. *** At this very time, the Prince suffers distress by the grief of loss, spending his days in drunken mourning in order to dull the pain. He doesn't have any desire to cling to life anymore, but being immortal, he cannot just die. “Eternity? Like waiting for a thousand cherry blossoms to bloom—one by one.” Muchen, The Second Prince. *** Forbidden practices, Heavenly secrets, Fate’s defiance and the Realms on the brink of War. As well as Curse, Scheming, Sacrifice and Punishment that turns God into Wandering Spirit, and Spirit into only Heavenly Heir. Sarcasm on the edge of torture, both evoke the bittersweet ache of missed encounters and unfulfilled destinies. *** THE LEGEND In a world where Realms are connected, there's an old tale—a Legend that whispers of Balance and hidden Powers. According to this lore, all Realms share a common origin, and their Fates are intertwined. Realms are destined to coexist as one. Here, no hierarchy prevails—no masters, no slaves. Instead, Realms harmonize, their existence interwoven threads. Should the Balance falter, Chaos looms, and the Abyss threatens to swallow everything. Yet, when the Abyss fully absorbs the Realms, the Celestial Source establishes a new Cycle of Life, and brings new Realms to coexist. But even if the Abyss is undeniable, a hope remains, for within the same Source that birthed the Abyss lies an indomitable Force—a Guardian, the One, born to confront, combat, and seal it. Thus, the current Realms gain their chance at survival. *** PS This story was planned long ago, but life is life, so I only decided to share it within online community now.

Tides and Longing: 잊혀진 파도의 속삭임

***BEST ON TRUE LIFE STORY OF THE AUTHOR*** "Tides and Longing" was born—a tale of whispered confessions, salt-kissed kisses, and the ache of love that defied time. In its pages, I sought solace, rewriting destiny with ink and hope. And maybe, just maybe, our seashells would find each other again, washed ashore by forgotten waves. In the quiet alleys of a coastal city, where the scent of salt and memories linger, two hearts once danced to the rhythm of childhood laughter. But life, relentless and unpredictable, wove their fates into a bittersweet tapestry. **Noh Da-Hyun**, with her sun-kissed cheeks and dreams as vast as the ocean, cherished her childhood friend, **Yoo Jeong**, with an innocence only youth could hold. Their days were a symphony of shared secrets, scraped knees, and stolen glances. Yet, when Da-Hyun's family whisked her away, the waves swallowed their laughter, leaving behind echoes of what could have been. Years flowed like tides, and Da-Hyun found herself entangled in a different love—a love that consumed her, body and soul. The boy from her high school, whose eyes held galaxies, became her universe. But love, capricious and cruel, betrayed her. He whispered goodbye, and the stars shattered. Six years later, Da-Hyun returned to Seoul, her heart a fragile seashell. The city had changed, yet the sea remained constant, its waves a lullaby of forgotten promises. And there, amidst the whispers of salt and longing, she discovered that Jeong move abroad, leaving behinda trail of memories. But fate, ever the weaver of intricate patterns, played its hand once more. Jeong returned, not as the boy who shared her secrets, but as a stranger with memories etched into his eyes. His laughter no longer echoed through the narrow streets; instead, it lingered in the gaps between their unspoken words. Da-Hyun's heart, like a compass drawn to true north, still pointed toward Jeong. Her secret crush bloomed anew, petals fragile as morning dew. Yet, he stood on a different shore, holding hands with another—a girl whose laughter painted sunsets. Their encounters were fleeting, like seagulls skimming the water's surface. Jeong's eyes held a thousand apologies, and Da-Hyun's heart whispered a thousand what-ifs. They were strangers with memories, two souls adrift in the same sea, yet unable to bridge the distance. As the moon waxed and waned, Da-Hyun clung to hope. Perhaps love was not a single tide but an eternal ebb and flow. Perhaps, just perhaps, their story could find a different ending—one where the waves carried them back to each other. "Tides and longing" is a tale of love lost and found, of salt-kissed kisses and the ache of unspoken confessions. Can Da-Hyun and Jeong rewrite their destiny, or will they remain like seashells—beautiful, but forever apart? May the tides of longing guide them toward a shore where memories intertwine with hope, and where love, against all odds, finds its way home.

In Nica's Shadow

NOTE: This story is discontinued and completed. It was written at a time I was very sick and thought. It would not turn out well. I have shifted the energy of writing to a new story that is a more intense form of BDSM and romance but doesn't delve as deeply in pending death and doom. In the realm where mortals tread, I observe their frantic scurrying, stumbling from grace, and bowing before false deities. They sacrifice kin and companions, seeking fleeting solace. The art of traversing known realms and conquering fear eludes them. I have allowed them to wander aimlessly for far too long. The foul scent of hope pollutes the world as they yield to fear, devoid of valor and pride. I dispatched my begotten sons, time and again, to seduce and ravage the sins of the masses, heralding an era of death and desire. Plagues and wars unfurled as my sons painted the world in chaos. A sly grin emerges upon my lips, for I delight in the spectacle. It reminds me of a nursery rhyme from a bygone era, whispered at a child's bedside. The darkness weaves strange reminiscences of the bittersweet. A child afflicted by plague's boils and the mother's dread realization of transmitting her malady. Through the ages, naught has changed since their first steps upon the earth. Agony and despair linger in the air, the essence and longing of existence. Amidst the apparent serenity, a subtle note of turmoil wafts—a melody of corrupted souls. For even in their docility, these creations can wield ruthlessness. Alas, they revere strength, unaware that the mightiest often shatter, crying like infants as their bones snap between my fingers. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Should you seek a tale of systematic oppression, generational torment, vile assault, and the macabre, I extend an invitation to the narrative of innocence's demise—the beauty found within life's darkest corners. The battle yet wages, and perchance, as my final thoughts manifest, redemption shall unfold its melodic strains. Or perchance, I shall pen their ultimate sentence—an exquisite requiem, unbridling my vengeance in the shadows cast by Nica.
