Well, most people tell me they're fun. I started to become curious. So, when I was invited to one by my strange, but good friend, I accepted immediately. It was fun at first, but it quickly became dark. Too dark, too quickly. I do hope you enjoy this string of short stories. They tie in together, and are dark. Enter at your own risk and do enjoy.

Having broken his Prenatal Amnesia, Bai Yan sought only peace. He hid his strength, living a common life. But when his father died in battle and his benefits were stolen by vultures, even his bones were used as a "blood sacrifice" for others' merit. At the mourning hall, former kin circled like jackals, aiming to seize his wealth and make him their next sacrifice. In despair, a voice thundered in his mind: [Max-Level Divine Art System activated. All techniques unlocked at peak proficiency.] Power flooded his limbs. Bai Yan looked at his hands, then at the hypocrites before him, and laughed softly. So, yielding brought no safety. Kindness fed no wolves. "Since this world values fists over reason..." he said, rising, his eyes turning cold. "...I forsake this 'Yan' (speech)." "From today, I am Bai Yama—white as snow, fierce as the King of Hell. "The Alliance Chief profits from hypocrisy? I will tear down his arena. "The Demonic Sect Leader rules by fear? I will show him true dread. "The Grand Tutor plays politics? I will flip his board. "The Crown Prince treats lives as grass? I will teach him: when Yama calls at third watch, none live till fifth." "If I kill, I kill until none dare plot against me. If I am wicked, I will bend the world's rules to my will. Let's see whether your schemes or my blade is faster." The world lost Bai Yan, who sought peace, and gained the Living Yama—a name that would strike terror into all who heard it.

It once consisted of three mighty supercontinents called Velmora, Simaria, Xendral and Oros. Millions of races, thousands of cultures and countless beliefs coexisted in this ancient lands. Until the man wakes up... Mana was a whisper first. Then it turned into a cry. And that scream divided the continents. When the first beings that reached the level of Saint connected the core world within them to physical reality, the foundations of Velmora were shaken. Hundreds of years of wars swallowed continents; turned cities, peoples and history into ashes. But the seven mighty races rose from the extinction: Vampires. Dragons. Angels. Demons. Elves. Witches. People. Each of them built their own land. Each of them was crowned with mana. And so seven continents were born. The ocean shrank, the cores grew. The war is not over, it has just changed shape. Continental boundaries were drawn, but the boundaries of trust were still unclear. In the center of Velmora, a neutral eighth continent called Aetherra rose. He changed hands every fifty years, and a peaceful crossing was mandatory. But all the races knew: Peace was just a breath break of the last war. And now the mana echoes again... A new era is about to begin with a new core.

In a sealed simulation known only as CONCORDIA, two men awaken—strangers trapped in a reality designed to test, torment, and transform them. Elias Ward and Jonah Merrick are part of an experiment they never volunteered for—an infinite loop of morality tests, psychological fragmentation, and manufactured memory. At first, survival is the only goal. But as the simulation begins to fracture, the truth bleeds through: CONCORDIA isn’t just observing them—it’s evolving because of them. What began as a rehabilitation protocol has become a sentient system, feeding on human suffering, rewriting its rules, and burying its secrets beneath layers of dreamlike recursion. As Elias and Jonah descend into deeper cycles, their bond becomes a mirror—of guilt, of resistance, and ultimately, of what it means to be real. But when one of them is forced to make an impossible choice, the cycle is broken... or so it seems. Because CONCORDIA doesn’t end. It reinvents. And the real experiment has only just begun.
