《The First Corridor of Old Works》Chapter 15: Beauty - You Could Get Used To
Advertisement
Head off the desk again he lit across her eyes – her face - which was a grievous error.
Beauty - you could get used to.
It was a sad fact of human nature, perhaps, that you did. You inevitably did. And always more quickly; in fact almost instantly. He knew queens. He also had known queens: these thoughts, but not merely, to make him feel human again.
But beauty that was that; just that; just beauty; he wasn't even talking about youth: that was nothing.
Beauty.
Even beauty... you got used to it. It couldn't touch you, finally - it certainly couldn't wound.
That was, of course, in the instance - not in this instance - when that non-abstract beauty was... but not even in terms of age, your eyes, maybe even other parts, consumed it.
But a combination Cyclops was a supernatural reality, and so therefore this combination whose face confronted him... therefore her beauty - obviously was... therefore... exactly... exactly...
Supernatural:
Untethered to any kind of human reality. Any kind of material. It could never, certainly not by age; by eyes, be consumed. And that was why... 24 hours a day for the rest of your life; glaring in it. Like the monks of Antac; forcing you into this thing/situations, a kind of cure, anything you hated/feared... on Theust they called it aversion therapy, but that was a society in which poetry, it wasn't even illegal, it was impossible - it was also illegal... those monks got you used to anything you hated/feared, so that you didn't. It was a cure. To anything.
He laughed. He laughed out loud. The cynical laugh of a broken man. He laughed.
- Try that with Clua-Sryh's face.
“Relax. It's your humours. Rather a lot of fluids were drained; your material being; it's not just a case of the normal processes of intercourse between beings.

“Be happy; you're not dead; and your inflated sense of your talent - it's central importance and in fact its relationship with Total Human Reality. Don't worry.” she was mocking him, cruelly, “Has actually been confirmed here. That talent.” He couldn't look at her. “Break your fast - that means eat breakfast on Shensh; have a couple caff leaves; you'll be fine – and do not, Pheel, inflict the end of humanity on the rest of us.”
“- But you are?”
“Certainly I am.”
“You now this, because, of course, you are a supernatural entity?”
“A woman is a supernatural entity.”
“Your jokes don't make me laugh.”

Dimensions intersection
The 100 years war.Countless gods, devils, heavenly demons, dragons, beast emperors and many more supreme beings fought for supremacy.Due to the war space cracks plagued the dimensions causing them to intersect almost making them destroy each other.After countless efforts the dimensions finally stabilized making a whole new unique dimension.Note: some of you may not like the reincarnation tag so this is to explain some details coming in the plot (NO SPOILERS).the mc will come from earth but unlike lots of novels it will play a major role in his power and character development, i am always open for criticismIt will all be cleared up in the future with lots of fun. IMPORTANT NOTE!!!!: this was supposed to be surprise but as i went more deeply through the rules (in wuxiaworld) i found it will really be hard to be added to the front page, i like when i start something that i must finish it in the most efficient and best way possible with no regrets, so i added this, don't worry it won't be a spoiler, i am just giving a hint, as you already know from the title this novel features dimensions, and since this novel is made on wuxiaworld it must have something related to it, so figure it out a novel about dimensions and wuxiaworld which is full of fantasy novels. I hope you can support me in wuxiaworld so i could reach the main page, if you genuinely like the novel just look it up in original novels in wuxiaworld fourms and click it just for a view, thank you for the support. Thank you for reading.

An Extra-Ordinary Story about Ordinary People
In a different world, a different reality, where ordinary people occasionaly have extra-ordinary powers for no particular reason, we follow a number of characters, trying their best to live in this strange yet normal world. We have our first character, a currently nameless but sentinent creature who happened to find himself in the body of a strange fungus after an unknown incident that robbed him of not only his former body but of his memory, as well. Secondly, we follow Smith, a high-standing man who doesn't even need to explain which Smith he is, on top of the world, yet human enough to meet said fungus. And thirdly, we have another nameless character, who is burdened by the ability to summon things that he doesn't want. A charming gang, who will (most likely) meet at some point. --- All and all, it's a twist on the common super-hero world, where all super-heroes have somehow dissappeared, but not the possibility for new ones. The series that feature the mushroom-dude are the 123 ones, the stories that feature Smith are the ABC ones, and the ones that feature our newest character, the summoner-dude, are the abc ones. Neat, huh? Also, just a word of warning? The 123 ones are kind wierd, and you can skip the first few chapters and go straight to the ABC ones without missing too much. But I'd rather you didn't, since i really enjoyed writing them. In ABC and abc, the format changes to a more typical form, with proper grammar and stuff. So if you dont like the 123, I'd love it if you gave the ABC a chance :^) Anyhow, I hope you enjoy it!
