the funhouse novel

They travel the world, livestreaming perfect moments. Beautiful cities. Perfect smiles. Millions watching. But something is wrong. People who get close to them begin to change. Subtly at first—habits, desires, boundaries. Then completely. No one notices the pattern. No one except those already inside it. This is not a story about love. This is a story about control— how it begins, how it spreads, and how no one realizes they’ve lost it.**Original Work Declaration for *The Laughter Mirror*** All elements of this work (including but not limited to the “Three-Strap and Pendant System”, “Dual-Track Narrative,” and “Lingguang Xihuan”) are the sole creation of the author.

Marqué le temps de son empreinte de façon indélébile, voici ce à quoi aspire tous les êtres parcourant les terres de Yfunim. Comment rendre possible un exploit aussi irréaliste ? Faire la guerre ? Accumulez les richesses ? Être le plus fort ? La seule façon de le savoir est de parcourir le chemin. Dans cette ère mouvementée où règne en maître les rois et les héros, nous suivrons un jeune garçon appelé Habel, partant de son île à la découverte de ce vaste monde et pourquoi pas en chemin, lui aussi, écrire les lignes de l’histoire ? ‘’Le monde tremble de peur, les êtres se trémoussent de joie et d’admirations, des hommes qui me haïssent, des femmes qui m’adorent, voici ce que provoque l’évocation de mon nom en ce monde. Les sensations merveilleuses qu’elles procurent est un plaisir coupable dont je ne pourrai jamais m’en lasser, c'est le délice des rois''.
