Pedestal

Making poison, studying poison, and playing with poison is her hobby and fascination. Saving people, killing people, and torturing people - those are considered her virtues and ethics. Indeed, she is a doctor - a term that might be more appropriately shortened to... physician! She has the medical code of ethics, yet lacks the empathy. Her patient care is purely dependent on her mood. An injury led to a fortuitous encounter, making two individuals completely unrelated to each other cross paths. Later on, as the woman became a military doctor... In their first meeting, she saved him from the brink of death. The location of his wound was "a wake-up call". And in their next meeting, when she offered - to devote herself to him! His response was: "I... am willing." She said: "I was actually just joking." For Mu Lin, there are only two types of people in the world: the sick, and the deceased. For Jing Chen, the world also only consists of two types of people: family, and soldiers. However, when he met her; when she met him, everything was bound to undergo chemical changes. Mini Theater One day, a dandy with an enchanting posture and seductive eyes said: "From now on, all of me belongs to you." This Poison Doctor, leaning forward revealing a slight smile, "Are you serious about what you said?" in a place he couldn't see, the silver needle in her hand flashed with a cold glint. Snapshot Theater In the future, the child asks: "Mommy, why was your taste so bad back then, choosing this daddy to be my daddy?" How contemptuous. Mu Lin: "This is a serious question, I need to think it over carefully." She definitely needed to think it over thoroughly. The child, full of high spirits: "Certainly this daddy is not your true love." The next second, an aria flies past, "Wife," came a voice filled with aggrievement. "Good." People only know that women are oblivious to Master Jing's eyes, but they don't realize that from their first encounter, her figure has already silently approached him. Some say that Mu Lin was taken down off her lofty pedestal by Master Jing, but Mu Lin wants to say, she did it willingly.

Life and fate can be really cruel at times. She was at the highest pedestal one could imagine. People would grovel at her feet just to curry her favour. She lived at the heights of riches, one tap of her finger; someone would be at her beck and call. She climbs at the top with blood, sweat and tears that no one would believe her if she will ever tell her tale. She was the epitome of beauty and of authority- everyone feared her at the same time, bewitched by her charms. But all has fallen and crumbled into pieces. *image not mine.. credit to the owner*

Synopsis “Ma vie?” I called her, my voice full of worry. She’s looking straight at me as if there is something she wants to tell me. She walked towards me without a sound, barefooted on the cold floor. She’s wearing her white lingerie that shows her curves in all the right places. Her hair was messy yet it made her look more alluring. “Something wrong?” It’s 10pm in the evening. We are in our bedroom at the beach house in Batangas. Except for my study table, chair and bed. The whole room is bare. I could not risk it. She has been unstable this past few weeks.Throwing and breaking things. Shouting full of rage. And hurting herself. I had no choice but to isolate ourselves here for her own safety. She took my left hand when she reached my table and I held it. She still did not make a sound but she led me back to the bed. I followed her silently. Nang nasa paanan na kami ng Kama, she stopped and stood still. Turn around and looked up at me, bago umupo. She held onto the waistband of my pants while still looking up at me. “Ma vie, no.” I said when she tried to unzip it. I know what she was trying to do. “Please.” With a low voice she begged. I did not want her to do this. I did not want her to act or do things like a cheap whore. But as I stare at her blue eyes, I can see her spirit broken. I have no doubt in my mind that if I deny her this, I will forever lose her. She looked at me as if searching for approval and assurance. I cupped her beautiful face in my hand, she closed her eyes for a moment then looked at me again. I bent over and planted her a kiss on her lips which she readily answered. “Do as you need, ma vie.” I told her in between our kisses. And as if that’s the only thing she was waiting to hear, she unzipped my pants. “Fuck,” I could not help myself but curse when I she took me in her hand. It made me hard in an instant and I could not help but stand straight. She released my manhood from the constraints of my pants. And slowly move her soft fingers on my length up and down. I could only look at her with a ragged breath. Not wanting to anticipate what she’s going to do or I am going to lose it. She planted soft kisses on the tip of my shaft. “Merde”. The only thing I uttered when she put me in her mouth.

A young man finds himself in a void one day after going to sleep the night before. Cause: Unknown. Reason: Unknown. It takes a lot of confusion, a little panic, many unanswered questions, and at last resignation, to finally have any further development. However, things only get weirder. After experiencing something even more bizarre than being able to survive in a black void, he finds himself elsewhere. He now finds himself in a strange ancient-looking hall with no apparent exit, except for an unreachable window way up the top of the hall. Instead, there lies a bizarre black crystal and a small text on a nearby pedestal, on top of a central podium in the massive room. The text on the pedestal talks about something, or rather someone, in a language he's never seen, but can somehow still read. An ancient being of unfathomable might, but an unfortunate end. A feminine voice then greets him, inside his very head, and makes a desperate plea. In return, it'll offer everything it has to him. All he ever wanted was to get back home and get out of this strange turn of events, but feeling pity after hearing the voice's circumstances, he offers the salvation it requests, the freedom it so desires. He does so and is finally allowed to get back home...— "Wait, why am I in a forest? And WHY IS THERE A GOBLIN THERE?!" Turns out, he was not back home. It was a different world. A fantasy world. Did the voice trick him? Betray him after he’d offered her what she wanted? Or did she have ulterior motives from the very beginning? How will he now get back home? … If he can even do that. And what does this new world hold for the young man?
