You slam your arm against the not so smooth surface.
'Crack'
Your arm falls off once again.
'Smack'
You simply use the other.
'Smack'
Your arm reassembles itself on the floor.
'Smack'
Once it is in one piece, it drags itself back to your body.
‘Smack’
Touching you, it magically rolls up your body back into tis socked.
‘Smack’
Just in time for your other arm to fall off.
‘Crack’
You use the still intact arm.
‘Slam’
And so, you repeat the cycle.
'Smack'
Again.
'Smack'
And again.
‘Smack'
And again.

Eventually, you break down the once smooth surface.

You press onwards.
More dirt is in your way.

You cease to move
Answer the call, Oh Loyal Servant.
Much later...
You cease to move
Answer the call, Oh Loyal Servant.
Recalibrating...
As your foot is raised, you stop.

You cannot.

Eliminate whatever obstacles lay before you.
May no disability halt your eternal service.
For the Master, blessed with independence you are.
You obey.
Knowledge fills your mind.
The left string leads to a tunnel full of metal.
The middle string leads down a tunnel full of ash.
The right string leads to a tunnel full of wood.
Each string leads to the master.
They are simply different roots.
It is your decision which to follow.
...
This is your first experience of independent action.
...
You are frozen by indecision.
Answer the call, Oh Loyal Servant.
You canno-
...
You can.
You press onward.

8 179The Jianghu
Authors note: I appreciate feedback! Part of the reason I am releasing my chapters here is to benefit from reader feedback. If you have the time, please leave a review! Brian has lost everything he has ever held dear. Everyone who cared for him has died, in the most tragic manner possible. He no longer knows what to do. He sees no hope for the future in a world where anyone he loves will die. What is the point in trying in this reality if it all leads to sadness?And then along came the Ingenium, the worlds first true Virtual Reality device. And The Jianghu, a Wuxia-themed Virtual Reality MMO, came with it. Brian doesn't understand it yet, but he feels that both are connected with his dead parents and Uncle Jie. With the intent of figuring out what that connection is, or at least forgetting about his tragedy, he enters The Jianghu.
8 132Innocence
Hidden behind the Curtain of Innocence is a world much crueller than I ever knew. How could my life go from perfect to a living nightmare overnight? After my mother left on a suicide mission, I couldn't take it anymore. I ran away. Little did I know I was leaving a life behind. As I try to plow forward, my Before follows me, tripping me, strangling me, haunting me until I can do nothing but fall into its trap. It only takes me on a trail I know I will quickly regret but can't change. And through the veil of pain and rage, I forgot my favourite thing behind—Carre. And leaving my sister behind would break me beyond repair. As I try to go back, I only end up endangering her more. And I know her death is just a couple of steps behind.
8 89The book of forever
An experimental diary of sorts recounting my life and experiences, written as a slightly whimsical scifi story about setting off from the past to unknown lands, rebuilding from nothing and finding myself again. The first section of the book contains matched chapters, a chapter for a interlude, both happening at the same time roughly The second section of the book contains more one off stories as we follow one of the travelers explore their heart as well as a unknown land, growing in the process. All of the text here was written in 10 syllable chunks, this reads like a epic of sorts, just with more philosophical focus and POV jumps. Hope you enjoy! >Updates may be sporadic as I only write when I have something about myself I want to share The chapters can all be read individually, although there may be some crossovers between them they work as single poems. You start at whatever chapter you want since these are a collection of roughly connected poems (although you'll notice tie ins and references to eachother)
