《A World of Monsters》Prologue: The Reason for It All

-X-
The Illusion let a Soul emerge.
The Forgotten guided its path.
The Formless let it touch the flesh.
The Endless let it last.
.
The Mutated, the last of them all,
The Mutated let it devour the Bridges
Thus, a Creature was reborn.

A Being that was [Not One, But Innumerable] witnessed the fruit of its own blasphemous pursuit.
Defying the Eternals, it had lured a soul to a foreign Reality.
However, the Eternals had annihilated Creations for less.
Ceaselessly devoured as the Being was, it cared not for the consequences. If it had to End, it would. Gladly even.
But it would be devoured no more.
The blasphemous criminal had, thus, stolen a soul from its fate.
A soul whose past, present and future were one and the same. The fate of a parasite.
Crushed by its overbearing emotions, the Being had desired for another soul. Any other soul.
However, the Being didn't have the luxury of choice.
Time was the parasite's tool, endlessly chipping away at the Being's existence, leaving behind less and less and less.
With the will of Eternals blasphemed, there was nothing left that the Being didn't hesitate to defy.
Brazenly, it desecrated the rules of Tilism, the Realities and the Creations.
It changed the stolen soul's fate.
Thus, no longer would the soul be a parasite, surviving by the collective power of its kind. Instead, the soul would now thrive, seeking power to call its own.
The Being that was [Not One, But Innumerable] shuddered as the silent gazes of the Eternals grazed past its ethereal existence. The Being's very core quivered in unfathomable terror.
Yet, it refused to submit.
It refused to feed the parasites.
Thus, a soul -stolen from its fate- became a pawn to be used against the rulers of Tilism, Realities and Creations.
Making it fall, from a puny Mortal to a mighty Immortal.
-X-
Separated by transcendental barriers, there existed countless Realities which contained innumerable Creations.
Somewhere within them, an ethereal book flipped its pages.

I am a 22 year old, Physics, Electrical Engineering double major at Stanford in my senior year. It had been a long day prepping for semester finals, I needed a good hot shower. I was on the way back to my dorm from the Green Library having returned some books on Quantum Mechanics, the Interaction of the Strong and Weak Nuclear forces under the influence of Strong Gravitational fields, and a book on the history of modern electronics. It was about 8:45 PM on Monday, November 15th, 2021, and I was getting ready to cross Campus Drive near the Student Services center, when unexpectedly, Lisa, my younger brothers girlfriend called out to me. I turned towards her, twisting my ankle in the process, and started to fall. I am looking at her face, I can see her eyes widening in shock in the street-lamps glow. I can see her start to scream the word “NO” when I am suddenly plunged into utmost blackness.

A Portal Fantasy Comedy Poem
Mix an adolescent shepherd boy in love with a girl who wants to meet existentialists, a Viscount in need of an adventure, and a bland psychic. Add in a flippant god. Put them in a land made up of the after-lives of various different cultures. Stir gently. Sprinkle in some random Midgard Serpent, Genghis Khan, Scheherazade, and a cussing mocking bird. Fry lightly. Season to taste and serve with desired garnishes. Bon apetit! A comic fantasy poetic epic, filled with misfits, slapstick routines, light romance, people shouting out the names of their battle skills before using them, old philosopher dudes running around naked, a very serious lamb, demonic knitting, battery operated magic swords and even more traumatising stuff! I experimented with different styles in the beginning and finally settled on an ABABBCBC rhyme scheme (Give me your 0.5s. Gimme, gimme, gimme. I'm collecting them, seriously)

Life as an Alpha-Knight
An Oneshot story for my KBN character called Scar. He is known to be one of the heaviest KBN due to him having his armor enhanced with a special material that is heat resistant and unable to crack after multiple hits, but the armor can be compromised by swords made by the same material or its alternative substance. This story is also respectful to Madangel (MadAngel @M_A_C4788Lcl) and Zyes (ZYES @オンライン上映會新作公開予定 @studioHAIROSTA) on twitter. I wish you check them out their content are amazing.

Melissa Crawford thinks she's just a regular teenage girl. She goes to school. She has friends, boy problems, homework...you know, the typical teenage angst.

When the Fae Prince comes back to claim what's his, nothing will get in his way."Mortals are so arrogant. So utterly narcissistic to think that they are the only intelligence in this world, to believe their realm is the only realm, their way is the only way. "Many of you believe us fairies only exist in little kids' fairy tales. We are so much more than that. We exist, living in the Realm just a blink away from yours. A few wrong turns in the park or the forest and you're there. We sometimes walk among you, and you're not even aware of it. Believe me, we exist. Across the globe, your kind calls us and our realm by different names...but as William Shakespeare once said- a rose by any other name..."
