Tale of Gluttony
A husband loved his wife and a wife loved her husband. They had children and were happy.
One day the husband met a merchant who convinced him to buy a beautiful necklace. He meant to gift it to his wife but was charmed by the white jewel and wanted to keep it for himself. The husband fashioned the stone into a pendant he could wear.
Each passing day his love for the jewel spiraled to the point of madness. His wife could not comfort him and he treated his children with disdain. The family suspected the gem to be the culprit and stole it.
The husband's frantic search was an initial lighthearted affair.
Then, he killed his daughter. The father realized his fatal error and swore off the jewel, hoping to reconcile with his family and beg forgiveness. However, his wife believed, with good reason, that the person she married was dead.
The opera concluded with the husband slack-jawed sitting in a daze, unthinking, limp, sinking further into that dazzling white jewel.
A standard tragic comedy.

8 56Sovereign Immortal (Technically not cancelled?)
New Summary: (Old Summary is below this one) Test Image: I'll make a revised one as soon as possible In the Realm of Immortals, there are two paths to become a Sovereign, both equivalent in strength. To follow the Body, becoming a Supreme Martial Sovereign, boldly refining the Body with Heavenly Tribulation Thunder and daring to face the Five Elements! To be an Unparalleled Lord of the Grand Firmament, unfettered from the restrictions of Heaven, countless people follow this path. Another to follow the Soul, becoming a Grand Spirit Sovereign, Nourishing the Soul with Yin and Yang and wielding the five elements on the fingertips of their own! To be an Incomparable Sage of the Everlasting Heavens, wielding the Laws of the Universe as their own, countless others follow this path. Yet since Ancient Times and bygone Era's, have there not been three paths? A Path which made the other two paths a lesser path? Suppressed all cardinal directions and made even the Ancient Undyings flee in terror and hide! Faded into obscurity and lost by thought, Ancient Undyings remember not the name for they are too young, even Immortals of the Oldest Era only remember it as a childhood legend. Without the Path, the Immortal Realm faces great danger without a True Leader to claim it's leadership and the inhabitants fight each other daily and countlessly all for the sake of becoming a Lesser Sovereign! As two Ancient Undyings face each other, a rift in space is made and falling down is an Entity beyond that of the Immortal Realm, causing waves in the Immortal Realm. The Entity falls down and down from the Realm Above, to the Immortal Realm below and eventually to the Mortal World..... As this happens, a young boy in the Mortal World looks to the stars and sees upon a falling meteor and chases it... The path of a Sovereign Immortal? A True Sovereign? Who in the generation can achieve it when the Rift has caused a change in the Realm, reopening the path? Old Summary: In the Realm of Immortals, there are two paths to become a Sovereign, both equivalent in strength. One follows the Body to become a Supreme Martial Sovereign. Refining their bodies with thunder and daring to go against the five elements. Another follows the Soul to become a Grand Spirit Sovereign. Nourishing their souls with Yin and Yang and holding the power of the five elements. Yet since Ancient Times have there not been three paths? The path of cultivating both the Body and Soul to become an Immortal Sovereign. But as time has passed, who remembers such a path? Faded into obscurity and lost in thought it is but a small dream to those Ancient Immortals remembering such tales in their youth. As the Path is forgotten, The Immortal Realm is in Chaos without it's Sovereign, The Realm inhabitants fight each other daily merely for the sake of a little more power or hope in becoming a Sovereign. But the True Threat doesn't lay with the Chaos within but rather the Chaos outside as foes from other Realms come to conquer them. Yet in all this Chaos, in a World of Mortals lies a young Mortal boy chasing a "meteor" an event which in time would shake waves and cause quakes in the Realm of Immortals.
8 137Xeno on Planet Erde
*I was a on a hiatus but I am back! Chapters will start coming again!* It should have been a simple trip to Europa, the ice moon of Jupiter. Go to Europa. Establish a research station. Maintain the robots to search for life under the ice. Instead, I think we have shot way off course. Nope, we definitely shot way off course. There is no way I should be able to breath on this planet. Actually, there shouldn't be trees here. And why am I naked? Captain Lindsey Shin was selected to establish a research station on a ice moon. He instead finds himself on a planet with no idea where Earth is and now needs to find his brother and sister-in-law on a planet where magic runs wild and humans do not exist. A world of beastmen, elves, daimons and daemons. Oh and the main character is slightly insane? The narrative is mostly first-person. A lot of vulgar language and cussing is to be expected.
8 184Living in my Own World!
Jacob was your ordinary successful game developer, being the developer of the most popular MMORPG out there. It had the best graphics, the best story, and more. But one day, he was sucked into his own world after being stabbed in the chest by a robber. He tests the waters and tries to use his admin panel to see if it worked, and it did! With this, he created a new body with no memories except those that were important to survival, with a little extra boost. In this world, the prodigy child Kas of the ex-noble family Ravenwood sets out to become the best adventurer! Author's Note: Please leave corrections or tips in the comments. I strive for 1,000 words at the very least. Also, this does not take place in a game, but the game's world, so there are no players, only the NPC's who have actual wills. Kas is basically God but he doesn't know it, and most likely will never have access to the admin panel because you need the password. Who knows though, he might get it one day with limitations!
