《Nin the Seeker》28 - Return of the White Rabbit
Advertisement
Nin sat and cursed his labyrinthine fate. He felt as though life were a great river and he was being swept away by its current. If only someone would throw him a life-preserver!
Just then, as if in answer to his prayer, a white rabbit appeared before him. Nin recognized them as a rabbit he had met some months prior—but with one look, Nin could see they had changed, and grown—they had found the thing Nin himself still sought.
It was if they radiated serenity, as if their fur caught the light of some unseen sun.
Envious but also reverent, he asked the white rabbit to explain this feat, and how they had accomplished it in such a short amount of time. “What have you done?” asked Nin. “Where have you roamed?”
And the white rabbit replied, “Why, I stayed at home. You were right of course, we were like lotus-eaters in our warren, tamed and dull. And you were right to shake me from my slumber. When I woke, and the world was open to me, I was overwhelmed—every avenue was available, adventure was everywhere. I began imagining what tomorrow, or the next day would bring.”
“And?” Nin asked excitedly.
“And I realized, if wisdom could be found in every direction, could it not also be found at my feet? So I resolved to find what I sought in the most mundane of all places—the here and the now.” The little white rabbit stopped and smiled. “Yes—it can be found anywhere, at anytime.”
For a seeker such as Nin such a plain and straightforward answer was hardly satisfactory. “Then why are you here with me tonight?” he asked, “in this meadow far from home?”
“After becoming aware, I felt compelled to share my knowledge with others. I could not remain happy knowing that other beings were suffering.” The little white rabbit smiled softly down at Nin. “So here I am.”

Nin was hit with a flash. Others! Oh how selfish Nin had been, how greedy. All this time he had been on this pilgrimage, what little heed he had paid others. Always he’d sought knowledge for himself, wisdom for himself. Not once had he considered what he would do once he’d obtained it, if he would transmit it to others.
He’d closed himself off! He’d shut himself off! He thought only of himself!
Nin prostrated himself before the little white rabbit and confessed his sins. “What can I do to rectify this?” he asked, tears streaming from his eyes. “How can I find the path?”
“Have you tried charity work?” suggested the little white rabbit.

A Slothful existence

Its veins became the tunnels connecting dimensions. Its primordial breath evaporated and became the building block of everything, mana. It plucked its countless eyes to make the sun, the two moons and the countless stars. Its heart became the core of the world and its blood became the inhabitants of this world - the first gods." - 'The beginning', page 1, author unknown. This is the story of two Gods - Ahkasah and its usurper - and the artificial abomination they created that cuts the threads of fate - the undying behemoth. ---- One release per two weeks Also released on Webnovel under the same name.

Gamer
I am making this story as a revamp, edit, and transformation of the legendary gamer into something that can be better related to. I have done some work on writing, and also put more work into preparing the introductory thoughts. I will have a bare minimum of weekly updates, but there may be more depending on how much time I have. This story will follow Gregory Jeffrey Drake, a young man whose life is partially micromanaged by his parents, and in time will come to be a powerful character in his own story. For now though, the main focus for Gregory is to grow and find his place in this new world he has been dropped into. Gregory gained a new type of class, and must use it if he hopes to stay alive and make the world a better place.
