Chapter 1081: The Clown takes off his mask!
Translator: Legge Editor: Legge
Flowing Time gasped!
Different expressions were shifting and running across King of Oddity’s face!
When “Life Fantasia” from The Clown’s world was recited, a lot of people felt as though their sweat glands had suddenly exploded! This was a poem they had never heard before. It was such a ridiculously good poem that many people became very engrossed in listening to it! However, the reason for their shock was not because of how good this poem was. What shocked them was totally unrelated to this poem’s literary and artistic standards!
It was because this poem had suddenly reminded them of someone!
At this moment, everyone watching on TV and those at the venue all thought of one man!
Zhang Xia said anxiously, “Is he?”
Amy said, “Surely that can’t be, right?”
Yao Jiancai said, “Holy shit!”
Chen Guang stared with wide eyes and said, “That’s impossible!”
Xiaodong also shouted in astonishment, “It can’t possibly be him! It’s absolutely impossible!”
No one believed that The Clown could be that man!
Who are you?
Just who are you?
The music suddenly started playing gently.
The title of the song was already displayed on the teleprompter screen: ” I Am What I Am 1 “!
When everyone saw this, they were stunned!
“I Am What I Am”?
The Clown smiled as he walked around the stage barefoot.
Standing at center stage barefoot, it felt very cooling and comfortable. The pajamas he had on gave him a very relaxed sense of unparalleled coziness. It was as though all his disguises and burdens had suddenly been dropped and he could finally get back to being himself again in front of everyone!
It was such a good feeling!
Ever since he was banned, he had never felt so happy!
Being secretive? Hiding here and there? This was not actually something he enjoyed. He wished to stand in the light and sing to the entire world!
This was the real him!
This was who he really was!
The Clown lifted his microphone.

He started singing softly.
“Happiness is that there’s more than one way to be happy.
“The greatest blessing is that everyone is the pride of the Creator.”
The platform below him started to rise!
Bit by bit, it took Zhang Ye higher!
One meter…
Five meters…
Eight meters…
Before long, The Clown was standing at the highest point in the venue, ten meters up in the air where he could see everyone!
Dressed in his pajamas and standing barefoot, he sang loudly as though he had seemingly forgotten himself.
“There’s no need to hide.
“I live for the life I appreciate.
“No need for a disguised side.
“In the bright corner I’ll wait!”
The audience was stunned when they heard!
Xiaodong, Fan Wenli, and the others were also stunned!
No hiding?
No disguising?
Waiting in a bright corner?
You…
You…
At this moment!
The Clown suddenly raised his hand and ripped off his mask. Flinging it, the mask flew outward. A face that shocked everyone was exposed onscreen!
The eldest young sister shouted, “Ah!”
His second sister screamed!
His third sister’s mouth was hanging there like she had forgotten how to scream!
Ha Qiqi, who was in the audience, was dumbfounded!
Zhang Zuo was dumbfounded!
Spinach looked at him in shock!
Han Qi was dumbfounded as she sat there unable to move!
It’s you!
Why is it you?
How could it possibly be you!
At this moment, the venue erupted!
At this moment, everyone watching on TV went crazy!
This was really crazy!
Looking at that very familiar face, everyone went insane!
The Clown suddenly exploded with a high note!
Who am I?
You’re all still asking who I am?
I’m not anyone else!
Lose the honorific.
The surname is Zhang.
He screamed as he looked up and pointed to his chest and sang loudly.
“I am what I am!
“A firework of different colors!
“The broad sky and open seas!
“I’ll be the strongest bubble as I please!
“I like what I am!
“May the wild rose blossom at ease!
“Even in a lonely desert,
“Blooming in plain sight, unhurt!”

Banning?
Censoring?
Criticizing me?
Insulting me?
Bullying me?
It doesn’t matter! It really doesn’t matter at all!
Even if there is only one person looking at me, even if there isn’t a single person left! I still won’t retreat and let this world change me!
I am what I am!
No matter where I go, I am what I am!
Like that stubborn wild rose that blooms in the desert.
Can you all understand that?
Can you all see that?
In the audience, his mother suddenly cried as she pointed at the stage and shouted, “That’s my son! My son!”
His father also teared up a little!
So earlier, when The Clown had said that his parents were here too, he was actually referring to them!
His mother was choking back her tears. “It hasn’t been easy for Little Ye! It really hasn’t been easy at all!”
His third sister shouted, “Brother!”
The eldest young sister and second sister were also so excited that they were unable to get ahold of themselves!
Currently, all of the audience’s reactions were similar to theirs!
Shock!
Enthrallment!
Astonishment!
Disbelief!
It was Zhang Ye!
The Clown was actually Zhang Ye!
The Clown laughed!
He laughed without restraint!
“How happy I am,
“Enjoying life in a glass house.”
He pointed to the sky and sang loudly.
“And telling the world!
“What it’s like to be bright and open!”
A sustained note made the entire audience stand up!
Screams!
Applause!
Everything else was drowned out in an instant!
A lot of people were crying!
A lot of people were shocked!
The man who insisted on singing when he had nearly fainted on the stage due to a fever during the first episode—that was Zhang Ye!
The man who sang “The Internationale” with anger when he was faced with censorship from several television associations—that was Zhang Ye!
At this moment, many of The Clown’s songs floated uninhibited into the minds of the audience!
I am a beautiful, beautiful wild rose! / Hating the Heavens for being unfair!
I’m ugly, / but I am so tender!
Arise! / ye pris’ners of starvation! / ‘Tis the final conflict!
You only see the brightest of stars in the starry night sky!
Zhang Xia cried out, “It’s Little Zhang!”
Xiaodong shouted, “Oh my god!”
Zhang Yuanqi was the first person to guess that The Clown might have been Zhang Ye. But when she saw The Clown take off his mask and the face behind it, she still found it unbelievable!
Dong Shanshan was dumbfounded!
High up in the air!
The Clown pointed at himself.
“I am what I am!
“A firework of different colors!
“The broad sky and open seas!
“I’ll be the strongest bubble as I please!
“I like what I am!
“May the wild rose blossom at ease!
“Even in a lonely desert,
“Blooming in plain sight, unhurt!”
It was too shocking!
This song had turned the theater upside down!
This song was written with Zhang Ye in mind!
Every single word was about him!
Many of the audience members were waving their arms and screaming for Zhang Ye!
Countless viewers watching TV were shouting and yelling in shock and going crazy for Zhang Ye!
Zhang Ye closed his eyes.
He lowered his voice.
“Even in a lonely desert,
“Blooming in plain sight…unhurt.”
The entire audience stood up!
It was as if everyone had agreed beforehand that they should stand up in unison!
Han Qi covered her mouth and cried. She had already lost count of the number of times she had cried today. It was really touching. She was captivated by his unique charm! So much so that she couldn’t free herself!
Han Qi suddenly raised her hands and shouted, “Zhang Ye! Zhang Ye!”
In an instant, cheers erupted throughout the venue!
A female audience member shouted in tears, “Zhang Ye!”
A male audience member bellowed, “Zhang Ye!”
“Zhang Ye!”
“Zhang Ye!”
“Zhang Ye!”
“Zhang Ye!”
“Zhang Ye!”
The audience had gone out of control!
The audience had gone insane!
This night belonged to The Clown!
This night belonged to Zhang Ye!!

Chronicles of Xod (returning from hiatus)
After a long recovery over a chronic motion sickness issue, I feel I'm ready to return to writing this book. It might be slow at first, but I'm hoping to pick up where I left off. I apologize again for the long hiatus. The pages following are a true account. An account of how I, Josh--a teenage nerd from modern suburbia--ended up in a strange world filled with fantastic magic, bizarre creatures, and terrifying dungeons. Despite the troped-up fantasy feel of the world, this is hardly an ordinary tale. For one, don’t expect a happy ending. With the trials I’ve been through, the horrors I’ve seen and the atrocities I’ve committed, believe me when I tell you, this is not a happy tale filled with friendly rainbow bears or teenage flying unicorns. It’s more likely you’ll finish this book mentally scarred as I will not spare the details of my unfortunate adventures. With the help of my trusted companion Gui, I gain an insight that no one else in the world has. This knowledge allows me to exploit and, for lack of a better term, metagame the system which gave me a clear advantage over its residents. “With great power...,” someone might begin to quote to me. In my defense, I think maybe even you, reader, might have acted similarly with how this reality changed my view of good and evil. This story will be updated regularly on Wednesdays around 6 PM. There will only be about 1000 words per update. The focus is to finish the story before doing any major changes or editing. Please read as if this is a work in progress, not a finished product. Feel free to let me know if you see any error, whether glaring or minor. If you help me out, I'll be sure to add you to a thank you list at the front of the book when it is published. Chronicles of Xod is a first-person fantasy novel that follows the adventures of a young man from Earth. Through unknown circumstances, he finds himself in a fantasy world where life is not all wonders and happy endings. The story takes common fantasy concepts from my favorite video games, books and movies and gives them an adult edge. It also introduces some taboo concepts often glossed over by stories written for broad audiences. The style is meant to be immersive and heavily detailed. The short novel will be written in a way that attempts to bring a sense of realism to an unrealistic genre. Where there are realistic consequences and dangers in a world populated with violent monsters, cruel demons, bloodthirsty undead, and immoral bandits. In this fantasy world, the inhabitants are essentially gender blind as far as sexuality is concerned. There is also more variation amongst male and female physiology. This isn't meant to be any kind of promotion or demotion of social behavior in reality. Just a concept I thought would be an interesting idea to have in a fantasy setting. I highly discourage anyone from reading this material if you are personally concerned with being offended or traumatized. Both violent and sexual content will be graphically detailed. All characters involved in sexual scenes are mature and of the age of consent(18+).

Yin-Yang
Mages in North America seem to have it all – typically from well-off families, and able to manipulate their environment in ways most of the world would never believe. They don’t even have to bother with the mundane details of life like housework, thanks to their sensitives, who also make a useful source for extra magical energy. After all, sensitives have no use for it themselves, and if mages weren’t meant to make use of it, then the sensitives would obviously have some way to prevent that. That a mage can transform a sensitive physically, with no restrictions beyond overall mass and basic biological viability, whereas magic tends not to work directly on any other living thing, is only further proof. And look at the way they live on their own, barely a step above animals. It’s better for them to belong to a mage. Sensitives in North America live on the edge of society and survival – typically so paranoid they avoid hospitals and anything else that could lead to being tracked, many of them with little or no education and no legal identity or existence. Mages exist, and mages want sensitives for some reason, but no one ever comes back to explain what that reason is. Waiting every day for the hunters to notice them doesn’t lead to much motivation or hope for the future. And once they’re captured, they’re the property of someone with a terrifying amount of power over them. Anything is better than capture. Mages are born to be the masters, and sensitives are born victims. Or are they? Jax’s life is turned upside-down when he’s caught by the hunters and sold to a mage. Andreas is still mourning for his previous sensitive, though, unconsciously creating a difficult standard for Jax to live up to, all the more so while still struggling to come to terms with this new reality as Andreas’ sensitive. A runaway sensitive isn’t what Van expects at the mental health centre. Is this a hunter trap, set for him and the rest of the Donovan family by the hunters? The hunters would, after all, love to see them cross the line openly and finally do something they can be charged with. Either way, Miranda’s genuinely in trouble, and he can’t just abandon her to it. Snatching a sensitive out from under the hunters and hiding her is odd behaviour for a mage – but then, Catherine is an odd mage, living in disgrace in the old servants’ quarters of her grandmother’s house, responsible for cooking and housework. Lila owes Catherine her freedom; is there a way to help Catherine achieve her own, and at what price? Tension is building between traditionally-minded mages and those advocating change, and something has to break. *** Yin-Yang includes a small amount of profanity and no graphic sex or on-screen physical violence. However, sex and gender roles and relationships within the mage/sensitive subculture are non-traditional in mainstream North American terms. The key criterion in a primary relationship is not relative sex or gender, but the pairing of mage and sensitive; given the transformation of sensitives by their mages, physical sex is non-absolute for a sensitive, and gender identity can vary as in anyone else. *** *** The way mages treat sensitives is extremely varied and, in some cases is outright abusive. The struggle against that is pretty much the point of the book. It is NOT grimdark or misery-porn! However, if you will be triggered by this, please, don't read Yin-Yang! *** Complete stand-alone novel, 153K words! Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.
