《The First Corridor of Old Works》Chapter 149: That Face of Profound and Sarcastic Nothing-Love
Advertisement
They killed them. They fucked them.
The exponential expansion of the demon population tore across the planet fucking, and vomiting inside, and defecating over, and pissing in groups in girls ears - merely getting some of their ugliness[!]
in, those forced out and despite everything still clung to, finally retained reality -
Their souls winked out, left, in a visible process, at least to Art - and then their faces became
that face,
of profound and sarcastic nothing-love.
In varying degrees the faces, these images, of a kind of imperishable beauty were replaced by nothing-land. By that face of profound and sarcastic nothing-love. A parody of beauty, and a mockery of/at the notion of goodness - that it was even possible/desirable,
itself.
Replaced by the demon coupon, everybody left.
He watched them warp and defile the place. He watched the rivers, the beautiful streams, the burns that chattered amiably between the hidden/non-random marvels of nature/beauty - watched all turned to shit and putrefaction.
Working with a mania that was uncontainable, a planet of demons set about destroying everything made by nature or man, that could be ascribed to the beautiful; goodness, or a celebration at any kind of effort toward truth. Any kind of vague recognition of the nature of human beings was sacked, sacked; pulled down to its foundations, burned, physically defecated upon - shat up - and destroyed... rendered nothing.
Or merely twisted enough to parody to render the whole thing ridiculous.
It was all systematically destroyed in Shensh - by the demons out wounds.
They killed everything good and destroyed everything worth living for.
And then he saw those structures rise.
He saw them work the final reality structures pulled out of the doom chambers themselves, and out his eyes, through Old Works, that by his looking - he kept alive/distorted through wounds. Worked on the ground by demons to create an entirely new planet.

An entirely new system of architecture and nightmare geometries was born across the whole planet. They rose; the structures that said nothing, said function, said there was nothing human - in planes, and architectures, designed – not consciously, even - just the natural consequence of the demonic mind.
They forced you to see nothing. They forced you to think there could be nothing. They forced you to think there was nothing worth loving or existing for, and that nature itself, and even reality - were nothing. Random. Unloved. Uncreated. And hated – hated, you personally hated and your eradication wished for/for reasons that were … holy.
For reasons that were kind.
The only good that could exist, was that in relation to suicide, to the love of nothing, and non-existence.
The buildings that rose said: die.
The buildings that rose said: decrease.
The buildings that rose said: eradication.
The buildings that rose said: be nothing,
and die.
In a process that couldn't be understood either in terms of time. In terms of sequentiality. Art watched them destroy his home, burn Shensh, and reduce it to an ideology chamber that in its very structures imposed upon you the only reality that there could ever be.
That of unreality. That of fakeness; that of self-loathing, that of nothing love, and that of lies.
His eyes that could not close wept.

Twilight over Arcania
SynopsisA child dies in an alley, but it's not the end.A mysterious entity known as Voice saves the child.The child is reborn in a world named Arcania. A world where magic exists.With a second chance at life, what will the child do in this strange new world?Rebirth Arc (17 chapters - Complete)Liara is reborn in the world of Arcania as a baby. She must grow, and learn of this strange new world.Twilight Arc (Ongoing)Liara makes a place of herself in the world and learns of Arcania and what will happen if she does not intervene.Author's NoteWhat you can expect from this storyThis novel is my take on the resurrection theme. I wanted to write a resurrection story with every element I liked about the theme, but without the elements I disliked. This is the story of Liara. MC's second go at life in a world where magic is real.Arcania is not a nice place. It is my answer to the question "How would civilizations develop if powerful magic was real and widespread enough." I try hard to make a large consistent story in a large consistent world. There will be lots of characters and organizations built to various levels of depth. The story starts small and grows in size and scope.I try to avoid plot armor as much as I can. You can expect at least MC to make it alive quite far in the story. It's the MC's story after all.I spent time building the world before beginning with the writing itself. How continents are shaped, the evolutionary history of the species, the history of the world, the structure of the solar system, the rules of magic, etc... I have planned the whole overarching plot. I have a clear ending in mind.There will be lots of battles and action. From large scale magic battles between immensely powerful beings to small skirmishes. Expect fights to be bloody. In Arcania, magic is just another set of law of physics. It's a natural phenomenon with clear rules to it. Gods exists, they are absolute being that see humanity like a human would see an ant. They are not just really powerful individuals. They act rarely, and indirectly.What this story will not beThere will be no harem element and little to no romance or sex in this story.There will be some comedy and comic relief, but Arcania in general is not a nice place.Fights will be bloody, but I won't write gory descriptions.
