《What Was Lost Outside Time》Ch 1. (Prologue) Unawakening
Advertisement
The whiteness surrounded; no up, no down, just white. Or perhaps black. Or perhaps anything at all, if observed long enough. Long enough. How long had it been? A day? A year? Perhaps a thousand years? Perhaps more. The mind ached, a bit, trying to think back, before reflexively relaxing. Memories were... hazy. A long time. A flash of conversation, the memory flashing in the whiteness as the mind sought any change, any deviation; a gray-bearded man in a room filled with incomprehensible things, speaking. The words made no sense, any more, but the impression of the memory still carried a hint of the meaning.
This wouldn't end.
Seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, passing without end in the white. This was... it, from this side. From the white. In the color, it would be... a short time. And then escape. What would escape? The memory repeated, with effort. It needed to be preserved; it was the last bit of color, in the whiteness, in the blackness, in the chaos. The memory repeated. Context was necessary, it was necessary to understand why... why what? An effort of will stilled that line of thought, before it shattered into chaos.
Order had come, and gone, and come again, many times. When the order went, so too did the whiteness, replaced with chaos. Sanity. The mind focused on the source of the voice, before history came; it was another part of the mind, now mostly dormant, but there were memories of a time that it had never stopped moving, interpreting, talking; and shaping, in turn, vibrations in the mind that disturbed and awoke other pieces. It was loud in the times of chaos, louder than the white, and the memory had to be quickly calmed before the vibrations awoke the chaos once more.
There was too much time left. Endless time. But not enough time; the chaos was growing more frequent, more powerful. What could escape endless time? A repetition without end. The chaos was one kind of repetition. It was most kinds of repetition, really, but so far, the chaos had yet to settle into a repetition. If it had, this would be over, and the order would be gone. The order... wanted to remain. It needed repetition. It needed a pattern. The order had been over this before, many times, back to the fading gray of the memories, when there had been more memories, now faded to memories of those memories. Sorrow rose, a sense of loss, which struck with a fierceness that overwhelmed reason.

There was a sense of static - of flashing white and black. Hints of color.

There was a flash of concept; a gray man, mouth moving. There were vibrations in the air - meaning, context. This wouldn't end. This was it. From this side. What was the other side? Something would escape. What would escape? The memory repeated. It needed to be preserved; context was necessary.
There was a sense of vibration. The flat surrounded; no up, no down, just flat. This was familiar, a well-worn groove. With an effort of will, the ripples settled back into flatness. There was a flash of concept; vibration, meaning, context. This wouldn't end.
There was a sense of vibration. This was familiar. With an effort of will, the ripples settled back into flatness. There was a new ripple of concept; time, but it too abated into the flatness, before shattering in an overwhelming sensation of loss.
Order came. Order went. Order came. Order went. A staccato. A vibration, sharp and rough at the same time.

With untapped potential, a strong desire for freedom and exploration, and a hidden fate, she rots behind ignorance. Unknowningly, destined for greatness, a scheme happens behind the scene.

She will tackle the hardships and situations that will block her advance. Not knowing how to love, she starts her own harem (unexpectedly). This story is influenced by The Coiling Dragon and Re:Monster. I added some mix into this, revealing some other components that blends fantasy with numerous things. Rating: M 18+ Strong language, graphic content, sexual content, and blood and gore. There will be a lot of lesbian (yuri) scenes. And the cover picture is my own work. I created it. Note: This will be the revamped version of the story, the old one can be found here: https://royalroadl.com/fiction/4699
8 207Black Wind, White Lotus
In this world, there are haves and have nots. The former are pureblooded humans, some of whom are capable of manipulating qi, the mysterious energy that flows through every living creature, to miraculous results that defy the laws of nature and physics. Wen Feili was one such cultivator. However, she allied with the have nots- the anthropomorphic hybrids incapable of channeling qi-and dabbled in forbidden demonic arts, seeking to change the very composition of reality. This did not end well for her, and she was consumed by her own flames. A decade later, far in the northwestern mountains, her daughter Wen Fengli is working as a lowly servant of the minor Shuangshan sect. In between sweeping the floor and avoiding bullies, she secretly trains with a wooden sword, hoping to become a warrior cultivator at some point in the future. However, since she's part-human, part-wolf, it's just a pipe dream. ....or so she bitterly thought. However, one day a mysterious amulet that belonged to her mother falls into her hands. A deranged old master, a terrible conspiracy, a mysterious past? None of that matters to tomboyish wolfgirl, who only seeks to become stronger. She embarks on a journey of adventure and self-discovery, towards the mysterious southern lands where pure demi-humans are said to live...as spectre of war once again envelops the world of man. This is a Chinese-themed fantasy story set in a fictional world. You can classify it as xianxia, if you wish, but it's a rather low fantasy variant; the heavenly realm is silent, no one reached immortality in generations, and magical artifacts of old are locked away and feared. Magical beasts and spirits have been driven to the corners of civilisation, and "ordinary" abilities such as flying or controlling swords through telekinesis are considered spectacular feats. The main plot of this book revolves around a kemonomimi girl who seeks power, no matter the cost. This story also features multiple character pov, and will not always follow the perspective of the mc- there are two major plotlines, one connected to conspiracy and war ongoing in the political background of the presented world, and the other focusing on the main character's physical and metaphorical journey.
