Foundation

My name is Qi Yuan, and I am a time traveler who now holds the esteemed title of the eldest martial brother at Seven Colours Peak. I am armed with a game jade slip capable of connecting realms across the heavens, and blessed with the ability to unveil hidden information through my discerning eyes. [A seemingly ordinary blade of grass reveals secrets of a clandestine meeting between True Man Ku Mu and Empress Dashang that transpired just three days prior.] [Her name is Ruan Yixi, who appears to be your beautiful master on the surface, but she may have a deeper connection, perhaps she is even your wife.] [This is Heavenly Dao of the World, a Spiritual Object renowned for its significance in Foundation Establishment] [This is a lifeless planet, a potential vessel for the creation of a Golden Elixir].

Hidden from the ordinary world lies a mysterious dimension known as the Anomalous World. This realm can be accessed through a rare phenomenon called a glitch, where individuals are suddenly transported into labyrinth-like rooms inhabited by anomalies—unexplainable entities that defy the laws of nature. This world is boundless; even Level 0 alone consists of an infinite space with no end or clear boundaries. Each level varies in difficulty, and survivors trapped within must struggle to survive with limited resources while facing threats from various anomalies. These anomalies are classified into several classes based on their danger level and complexity. From the relatively harmless Easy Class, which can be avoided or captured with ease, to the highly intelligent and aggressive Extreme Class, which is nearly impossible to stop. Each anomaly has unique behaviors and requires specific methods to handle, making every level a distinct challenge. The Anomaly Foundation, an organization dedicated to researching, documenting, and monitoring this anomalous world, works to protect humans who accidentally enter it while ensuring the anomalies do not escape and threaten the real world. However, the Anomaly Foundation is not the only group interested in this realm. The World Government and Human Guards have their own agendas—some seek to exploit anomalies as weapons of mass destruction, while others aim to destroy the anomalous world to protect humanity. The anomalous world is divided into zones, such as the Survival Zone, where anomalies become active and attack, and the Death Zone, inhabited by Hard and Extreme Class anomalies, where even trained agents hesitate to enter. Beyond all this lies Level Space, an infinite expanse hiding even more terrifying secrets—entities that can think and speak like humans but are far more dangerous. In this world of mystery and peril, the struggle is not only between humans and anomalies but also among organizations with conflicting visions and missions. Who will survive? And will the anomalous world remain a secret, or will it become the greatest threat to humanity?

On July 27, 2032, the world ended—not in fire, nor in war, but in silence. A rift tore open above Earth, swallowing the sky itself. In an instant, everything humanity understood—its past, its future, its very place in the universe—was rewritten. The Shift shattered continents, erased millions, and flung Earth into an uncharted galaxy. A Year has passed. The dust has settled, but the scars remain. Nations teeter on the edge of collapse, fragile alliances hold back the chaos, and in the vast unknown beyond the stars, something stirs—watching, waiting. Amidst it all, Arin Sharma, once an ordinary engineer, now drifts through a world he no longer recognizes. Stripped of purpose, haunted by the past, he is a man lost in the ruins of civilization. But fate isn’t done with him yet. As he searches for meaning, he will uncover a truth that shakes the very foundations of humanity’s existence. Because The Shift was never an accident. It was a message. And something is coming. Credit for cover: [Pinterest:https://pin.it/5wa8sAySO]

Thus says the Lord, the First and the Last, the One who was and is and is to come: “Let there be light.” And there was light. I set the boundaries of the deep and loosed the torrents from the heavens. I gave the eagle its flight and the lion its roar; to the behemoth, sinews of bronze, and to the Leviathan, body of phoenix. The nations rise and fall by My word; kings rule by My decree. From the dust, I formed man and set eternity in his heart, saying: “Be fruitful and multiply.” I am He who plants and He who uproots, He who wounds and He who heals, He who gives and He who takes away. Yet now, the pillars of creation tremble, and the foundations of the earth shake. The order I ordained is defied; My name is challenged. Who dares raise their hand against the Almighty? Who among the sons of dust would stand before their Maker? Let them come forth, that they may know I am the Lord. ___ This isn’t a biblical story, but a novel clearly inspired by it, but it’s not a religious text! No offense intended! Sandbox novel.
