The Idiot is a novel by the 19th-century Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky. It was first published serially in the journal The Russian Messenger in 1868–69. The title is an ironic reference to the central character of the novel, Prince (Knyaz) Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin, a young man whose goodness, open-hearted simplicity and guilelessness lead many of the more worldly characters he encounters to mistakenly assume that he lacks intelligence and insight. In the character of Prince Myshkin, Dostoevsky set himself the task of depicting "the positively good and beautiful man." The novel examines the consequences of placing such a unique individual at the centre of the conflicts, desires, passions and egoism of worldly society, both for the man himself and for those with whom he becomes involved. Joseph Frank describes The Idiot as "the most personal of all Dostoevsky's major works, the book in which he embodies his most intimate, cherished, and sacred convictions." It includes descriptions of some of his most intense personal ordeals, such as epilepsy and mock execution, and explores moral, spiritual and philosophical themes consequent upon them. His primary motivation in writing the novel was to subject his own highest ideal, that of true Christian love, to the crucible of contemporary Russian society. The artistic method of conscientiously testing his central idea meant that the author could not always predict where the plot was going as he was writing. The novel has an awkward structure, and many critics have commented on its seemingly chaotic organization. According to Gary Saul Morson, "The Idiot violates every critical norm and yet somehow manages to achieve real greatness." Dostoevsky himself was of the opinion that the experiment was not entirely successful, but the novel remained his favourite among his works. In a letter to Strakhov he wrote: "Much in the novel was written hurriedly, much is too diffuse and did not turn out well, but some of it did turn out well. I do not stand behind the novel, but I do stand behind the idea.

NOTE, THE WRITING STYLE IS TOTALLY INTENTIONAL. Preface by Dr. Nikolai Dvitra My name is Dr. Nikolai Dvitra, though in certain circles I am known simply as the keeper of the files. I was trained in medicine, yes, but my practice has long since drifted from the realm of broken bones and inflamed organs into more difficult terrain: minds unraveling, realities splitting, places where the living and the dead share the same air. These cases are not “stories.” They are transcripts of suffering, fragments of evidence, testimonies collected from survivors—or what remained of them. In each, you will find not just madness, but a pattern. Whether you choose to believe these patterns reveal illness or intrusion from beyond our world, that is your burden. I have preserved them as faithfully as possible. A name altered here, a location obscured there, for safety. Still, what you hold in your hands is not fiction. It is contagion. Handle with care.

"LIVING, for some people, is a BLESSING. They can do whatever they want, when they want. They can do the things the want to do, talk to other people and make friends. But for me, LIVING.....is a CURSE. Every actions is scripted. Every actions has intentions. A script created by the one who holds the strings attached to the puppet. And that PUPPET....is ME." - Nikolai A/N: I apologize if this story is not of your satisfaction. This is my first story, so I considered this as a practice to hone my writing skills. I'm open for criticism and advice

In a world where Espers are either weapons on the battlefield or sacrifices to hold back the Demon King, Valencia survives as a “useless” F-rank Guide in the slums—hiding the truth that she is no Guide at all, but a Void Esper. She was never meant to guide anyone. But when Kael, the Duke’s son and the kingdom’s revered S-rank Light Esper, begins to unravel after years without a Guide, he is inexplicably drawn to her. To him, she is the answer he’s been searching for. To Valencia, he is a risk she cannot afford. Because if anyone discovers what she truly is, she won’t be protected—she’ll be erased. Forced into the palace and bound to a role she was never meant to play, Valencia must navigate a fragile connection that defies everything the world believes about Espers and Guides. And the closer she gets to Kael, the more dangerous that truth becomes.
