In the near future, Zach works as an advocate for an influential family in the Central Territories. His job is to keep his clients out of jail, but they make it hard for him if they can't keep their mouths shut. He manages to convince his clients not to talk, but as he's getting ready to leave the penal satellite, an escaping prisoner takes him hostage. To his surprise, Zach recognizes the man.<br><br>Aron has to consider his next step carefully and quickly. He has to decide if he wants to go for the obvious and predictable, leave the penal satellite as everyone expects him to, or the unexpected but dangerous, stay and wait out the search team. But a familiar face from his days at the Academy makes his choice for him and he decides he's going to take a hostage.<br><br>There are a lot of obstacles between Aron and Zach, from Zach's loneliness but fear of commitment to Aron's lack of communication. And if that wasn't enough, their behavior is unfamiliar and they realize they might not be the same people they were in the Academy. Why isn't Zach working for the Marshal's Office as his moral code seemed to dictate? Is Aron more than an escaped prisoner? Will they manage to find a way to find those answers without also destroying what they've got?

The people of Earth know of Genesis, the creation of the world. But very few know that before Genesis, an entire history existed. The memories of such a time have been washed away. Yet there still remains one man who remembers everything. Out of everyone who knows of the forgotten past, he is the only one to have clear recollections of the countless worlds, stars, galaxies, universes, realms, planes and domains. He still remembers the endless cycle of creation and destruction. And in his latest memories was ruin... hopefully, the final ruin. This is the story of a man who had thrown himself into an endless cycle of reincarnations in order to finally put an end to the curse of ruin that haunted him and everything around him. He was once known by many names: God of Origin and the End, Emanator of Ascension, Inhuman Emperor, Divine Horror, and most recently, Ruined Emperor. Now, he reclaims an old name and rejoins his other half. Now, he is the Paradigmatic Paradox.

I appreciate everyone's understanding and support in advance. I can't wait to get back. Thank you

“Science is the closest thing to Magic.” If that is true, then what we call Magic is nothing more than Science we have yet to understand. And if Science itself is merely a codification of wonder, then the boundary between the rational and the miraculous is far thinner than humanity dares admit. Between Scientific knowledge and Religious faith, between Culture and Superstition.  Humanity asked the question:  "When the laws of physics themselves bend under the weight of human will, are we practising sorcery or are we merely revealing deeper ontologies of reality?" Science provides method, proof, and structure.  Magic supplies mystery, awe, and possibility.  Together, they create a paradox. A world where equations are incantations, where quarks and sigils are written in the same language, where love and entropy obey the same law. As such. I posed the same question: "Are we merely revealing deeper layers of reality?" And the world answered: "Absque ulla dubitation" That is the Paradox of 'our' Universal Paradigm. . . . Say that again? P.S.A: Horrendously scientific. Referral to the equation list in the Auxiliary Chapters is a must. Hell, go pursue a PhD in Quantum Mechanics / Particle Physics to understand some of the shit I yap.

Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine? The others may pass, but she won't. Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?" Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining. "I'm giving myself to you for free." Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.
