The Case Of Charles Dexter Ward

Trong một thế giới mà bản chất được dệt nên từ vô vàn tầng lớp của những ràng buộc vô hình, nơi từng phân tử hiện hữu đều bị khắc ghi bởi định luật của sự trói buộc và mỗi linh hồn đều là con rối bị điều phối bởi chuỗi xích vô tận của nguyên lý. Và trong chính sự điên cuồng ấy, một phản nghịch đã nảy sinh...Từ phản nghịch đó, đứa con của tự do đã ra đời, không phải như một sinh vật, mà như một dị điểm của toàn thể. Lumine là một mầm mống không thuộc về trật tự, một tồn tại gào thét giữa vòm trời bất động, một biểu tượng sống của khước từ mọi gông cùm đã khai sinh ra khát vọng tuyệt đối, hủy diệt mọi ràng buộc. Không phải bằng thù hận, mà bằng chính cơn đói triệt để với tự do tuyệt đối, Lumine và kẻ song hành đã thách thức thực tại, một thực tại vốn là mê cung bất khả phản kháng được dựng nên bởi những kẻ mang danh Thần, những kẻ không tạo ra thế giới mà lại chiếm hữu nó bằng thứ quyền lực mượn danh ý chí. Thế nhưng, ngay khi bàn tay họ tưởng đã chạm đến thứ ánh sáng rực rỡ nơi cuối đường hầm, cái ánh sáng mà họ nghĩ là sự giải thoát thì chính vòm trời ấy sụp đổ, và thực tại cười khẩy bằng tiếng cười của vô số bánh răng vận mệnh gãy vụn. Họ không bị đánh bại bởi kẻ thù, mà bởi chính quy luật đã thối rữa của cái thế giới họ muốn phá tan, nơi mọi hành động dù nhỏ bé nhất cũng bị tính trước trong một ma trận tuyệt đối của hệ quả. Đắng cay thay, cái chân lý mà họ đuổi bắt, cái chân lý trần truồng, tinh khôi và thuần khiết nhất... tự do lại nằm ngay trước mắt họ, song bị che khuất bởi sự tồn tại của một điều không nên tồn tại...Và chính vì thế, sự tồn tại của hắn không thể được dung thứ. Không phải bởi vì đạo lý, mà bởi vì hắn là dấu chấm hết của mọi diễn ngôn. Kẻ đó không nên tồn tại. Không phải bởi vì hắn sai, mà bởi vì hắn là thứ thuần túy, một lỗ hổng mang hình người trong thân thể của một thế giới đang hấp hối vì chính những gì hắn cho phép tồn tại.

# The Epic of Arjun - Synopsis ## Setting The dense forests of Dandakaranyam in ancient Bharath, where traditional ways of life and the code of dharma still govern the land. ## Main Characters **Arjun** - A sixteen-year-old with the classical heroic build of ajanubahu (arms extending to his knees), trained in combat and archery. Despite his warrior training, he has a compassionate heart that abhors unnecessary killing. **Devavrath** - Arjun's grandfather and mentor, a formidable warrior whose true identity remains mysterious. Though aging and ill, he possesses extraordinary combat skills and deep wisdom about threats facing the motherland. ## Plot Summary Young Arjun lives a secluded life in the forest with his grandfather Devavrath, undergoing rigorous training in archery and combat. When his grandfather falls ill, Arjun ventures into forbidden territory to gather rare medicinal herbs, despite warnings about the dangers that lurk there. In the tiger's domain, Arjun encounters a fierce tigress protecting her two cubs. The tigress, already wounded from territorial battles and desperate to protect her young, attacks the intruder. Faced with an impossible choice, Arjun reluctantly kills the tigress in self-defense but saves her orphaned cubs, bringing them home to raise as his own responsibility. This act of compassion comes with a price - Devavrath demands that Arjun double his training efforts. Through increasingly challenging exercises, including hitting targets while dodging his grandfather's attacks, Arjun's skills are pushed to their limits. As the training intensifies, Devavrath reveals a shocking truth: Arjun is not just a forest dweller but a Kshatriya with a destined role to protect Bharath from foreign threats that are gathering in the shadows. The rigorous training is preparation for a greater purpose - to defend the motherland from "foreign beasts" who wait to strike. ## Central Themes - **Dharma vs. Personal Desire**: Arjun's struggle between his natural compassion and his duty as a warrior - **Responsibility and Sacrifice**: Taking responsibility for consequences of one's actions (raising the tiger cubs) - **Hidden Destiny**: The revelation that Arjun's simple forest life is actually preparation for a greater calling - **Master-Student Bond**: The deep relationship between Devavrath and Arjun, built on trust, wisdom, and unspoken secrets ## Conflicts **Internal**: Arjun's moral conflict about killing and his confusion about his true identity and purpose **External**: The immediate physical challenges of survival and training, with hints of a larger conflict brewing for the future **Generational**: The tension between Devavrath's knowledge of greater threats and Arjun's current innocence about the wider world ## Story Questions - What is Arjun's true heritage and why is it being kept secret? - What are the "foreign beasts" that threaten Bharath? - Why is Devavrath's time running out, and what will happen when he's gone? - How will Arjun's compassionate nature reconcile with his warrior destiny? ## Tone Epic and mythological, blending intense action sequences with philosophical depth. The narrative carries the weight of ancient Indian storytelling traditions while exploring timeless themes of duty, sacrifice, and the price of protecting what one loves. This opening chapter establishes Arjun as a reluctant hero whose journey from compassionate youth to defender of dharma promises to be both physically and spiritually transformative.

When an elderly man awakens in a vast, surreal hall filled with silence, water, and towering, incomprehensible pillars, he has no memory of how he got there — only the growing dread that something is watching. As he searches for answers in a place where time, pain, and reality seem to unravel, he begins to question everything: his identity, his family, and the very nature of existence itself. But when he finally awakens in the "real world," the nightmare doesn't end. It follows. Haunted by visions, stalked by snakes, and suffocated by silence, he spirals into a journey of discovery, delusion, and descent. The boundaries between memory and madness blur, and the cost of clarity may be too much for any man to bear. “NVE 100” is the first case file in The Archives, a classified series chronicling humanity’s encounters with the unnatural, the unexplained… and the unforgivable.

Meanwhile, in the Dahn kingdom, the king, alarmed by the growing unrest among his people, dispatches his ambitious third child, Kyeong'ui, to Birahng, the island where the crimson star has descended.

“P-Please... give me a chance. I-I like you, Mr. Kang.” In a world where humans and anthropomorphs coexist, discrimination isn’t just common—it’s an everyday reality. Yueul, a weasel anthropomorph, is drowning in debt after being deceived by his ex-boyfriend into committing illegal acts. Prejudice against anthropomorphs makes stability impossible, as he’s fired from one job after another. Then, an unexpected opportunity arises: if Yueul can work alongside Wooheon, a black mamba anthropomorph, and “fix” his abrasive personality, Wooheon’s older brother promises to pay off all of Yueul’s debts. “Thank you for the offer. I’m not sure if I can meet your standards, but I’ll do my best.” Terrified of black mambas but even more terrified of his crushing debt, Yueul reluctantly accepts. Yet on his very first day, he’s already teetering on the edge of being fired. Desperate to keep the job, Yueul blurts out a reckless lie—that he likes Wooheon and wants to stay by his side. But Wooheon, fully aware of Yueul’s lie, retracts the dismissal with a twist: he suggests they live together, determined to push Yueul into quitting on his own. As if that weren’t bad enough, Yueul soon discovers Wooheon’s unusual way of managing stress: sex. And the room assigned to Yueul? It happens to be Wooheon’s designated “sex-only” space. “S-So if I use that room, does that mean you can’t have sex...?” “Why? Do you want to take their place?” “...If you’re okay with being with a guy... then I’m fine with it.” With Wooheon’s perfectionism driving him to collapse under extreme stress, Yueul wants to help—but definitely not like this! Still, the fear of exposing his lie about liking Wooheon keeps Yueul tangled in his own deception, desperately trying to maintain the facade. Knowing Yueul’s confession is a lie, Wooheon relentlessly pushes him further, testing how long he can endure. What started as a desperate lie to escape his debts has thrown Yueul into a chaotic power struggle. Can he survive life under the same roof with Wooheon and somehow tame his impossible personality? #BL #Fantasy #Modern #Anthropomorph Text copyright ⓒ 2024 by Spicychili All right reserved.
