Chapters and Release: Release days: Everyday Release time: 3pm UTC Status: Unedited. (Will edit after main story conclusion. Specifically from the start.) *** Synopsis: A fifteen years-old schoolgirl comes across a woman who was handing out leaflets for a confidential competition. Unknown to her, the competition took her out of Earth and into another dimension where she has to struggle to find clues behind why multiple worlds are having to be destroyed. The competition forces her to meet unknown entities who are both, good and bad. Sometimes, they would work for her and other times, they would work against her. The universe she goes to, causes her endless suffering until she finally solves the issue and head back to Earth. But that too, is of uncertainty. *** (Prologue) The dream of a child, is to grow up. While the dream of an adult, is to become a kid again. The dream of a poor person, is to be so wealthy and powerful, that the whole city would know their names. While the dream of a businessman, is to get the time in a day to sit and talk to his family for a second. Meanwhile, the dream of a missing or abducted person, is to go back home, to their family. And the dream of a teenager, is to simply be able to survive everything they are going through. Sometimes, people don't even know which category they belong to and move the way life moves them. Sometimes, they find a new path which leads them to even more difficulty. And in other times, they accept the hard truth, and choose to die. Thinking about the number of things that could happen instead, made her feel even more guilty for not listening to the advice of never wandering off alone. Now, she is homesick with extreme pressure of trying to grow strong, surpressing her from different direction. A normal fifteen years-old schoolgirl, comes across an opportunity to escape the hateful life she was leading. But the question is, was it really worst compared to the new life she was living? The competition grants her the things she wanted, but did it not have her pay the price for her choice? But of course, her reply would be, "I just accidentally joined it. It's no big deal compared to Earth." They are told that the worlds are all just novels they had read back at Earth, but if it were really true, why are certain things not matching with what seemed to be true in the novel compared to its world? As reckless she was, she got summoned into a different dimension where it was clearly uncertain whether she would ever be able to return back to Earth, to her previous life. But the more she got closer to Earth, the more the route got covered in blades. Turns out, the only way back, is to sacrifice the things that made her happy, and go on harsh adventures across the entire universe, while suffering threats from powerful enemies coming from the competition. (Author's note: I plan on making things more emotionally intense in the future.)

Kamanth was Indian-born and later went to New Zealand for higher education. He was not good at academics and, of course, he was naïve and very slow at grasping things. Due to this, he was always called “A FOOL” by everyone. Even his lecturers were no exception. Because of this, his original name was completely forgotten, and he was famously known by the name “Fool.” Obviously, due to this, no one was ready to make friends with him, and he was always a subject of bullying. He sat behind a girl called Shirley, on whom he had a crush, but he had no courage to propose. Due to his loneliness, he developed the habit of playing games and reading Chinese cultivation novels. He was truly captivated by the content of those books. The more he read, the more he fantasized. Playing MMORPG games was also very addictive to him. He wanted to go to this cultivation world, but he knew that it was impossible. But one day, a giant meteorite fell on Earth and destroyed it. Kamanth was playing an MMORPG game at that time. The power of the meteorite was so massive that he didn’t even realize that he had died. His eyes went blank. But the next moment, when he opened his eyes, he found himself sitting on a stone outside a forest. He didn’t know where he was. Later, he figured out that he had actually transmigrated to another world—and this world was a cultivation world. Kamanth later discovered that he had an Attribute Calculator within his mind, just like in the MMORPG games he used to play. He felt as if his dream had come true. He now had the chance to cultivate, just like in the novels. He changed his name to Ethan Hunt, his love’s favorite character from the Mission Impossible movie series, and started his cultivation journey.

[dropped] They say a god cannot fall. Apollo would like a word. Cast out of Olympus for giving mortals a prophecy they were never meant to hear, the once-golden deity finds himself stripped of power, name, and worship. Now he’s just a half-frozen stranger bleeding in a ditch, trying to remember how to be human without losing what made him divine. But the world below is not as he left it. Cities rot, old powers stir, and the threads of fate unravel where no loom should reach. Something is shifting in the dark, something even the gods did not foresee. Apollo was sentenced to live as a mortal for ten circuits of the sun. He plans to survive them. But survival is no guarantee of peace and power, once given, is rarely forgotten.

I hope you read, and when you read I hope you find that aching- that longing in you. I hope to light a spark of love in everyone who reads me, that will forge a fire of self love- together we can raise Mother Earth higher.

This is my first poetry to my BFF, written on March 7th, 2023. Peach blossom bloomed as gorgeous as bloom rain By: Amoureax Amant Peach blossom bloomed as gorgeous as bloom rain, at branch in full peach blossom on mountain, but left tree branch with wind through amber lake, toward fragrant sea like drifting snowflake. Just left when butterfly danced through peach tree, just left when hummingbird echoed with bee, when rising sun turned dark cloud peach blossom, when drifting rain fell from misty cloud dome. What if peach blossom stayed till September, peach blossom might neither dance through water, nor travel with light breeze through small arbor, toward vast sea like boat sailed from harbor. What if peach asked of peach blossom's journey, here's the answer, freer than in valley.

A collection of poems that I enjoy. Some are poems; some are quotes. They aren't mine--all credit where credit is due. There's no actual lead or genre since there isn't a true plot.

This is my second poetry to my BFF, written on October 28th, 2023. I envied redwood stretched toward heaven By: Amoureax Amant I envied redwood stretched toward heaven, whose branch in branch like hand in cloud ocean, whose leaves like thread weaved curtain covered sky, whose spot like stage light lit for butterfly. I envied stray bird hummed with bugs echo, whose siren song spread through redwood shadow, whose feather swirled like lone-drifting snowflake, whose wings like flash slipped through green amber lake. I envied cowboy rode through siren sight, whose horse ran on green sea plain at twilight, whose gun aimed at wild deer in green forest, whose bonfire cooked deer meat in light gauze mist. I envied fish blew bubble in amber, whose bubble bloomed as gorgeous as flower.
