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.

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 134A Chimerical Hope
The dream we share is simple: no traitors, no masters, only bugs united. Lucidity is a dreamer's sacrifice to reality, and our sacrifice is the vesperbane. A vile transformation through bat blood and black nerve, the vespertine arts grant a mantis power and control beyond this world. Only vesperbanes can give our grand dreams breath — but all vesperbanes are shadowed by an incorrigible potential to instead become oppressors and defectors. Three nymphs will undergo this metamorphosis, yet each holds another dream in their hearts: a scholar who must learn the secrets of the mind to bring the dead back to life; a servant who must atone for lives taken and find a cause unquestionable; and a rebel who must kill an angel and avenge a destroyed home. In this world, the mightiest wield the power to crush cities or spawn monstrous armies — here, there's always someone above you, and it's a long, arduous climb higher. But true power is wielded by those with the cunning and the connections to direct the mighty. In every shadow a conspiracy dwells, and these nymphs already have killers hounding them, spiders weaving webs around them. Anyone can climb to the top, anyone can tangle in these conspiracies — but what would you sacrifice along the way?
8 312The Qi to Immortality
The Golden Rule of transmigration into a xianxia world is not to get involved in the affairs of important characters. Death follows them, bearing down on the ordinary people they interact with. For months Zhao Mi has managed to abide by this self imposed rule, making a living as an Assistant Admissions Disciple for the Misty Cradle Sect. When a misstep with a young master places him in the sights of a heartless clan intent on saving face, the only viable solution is to invert the Golden Rule. To surround himself with enough important characters that their fortune bleeds into Zhao Mi’s humble life. Walking such a path will require surviving violence, navigating politics, and unraveling conspiracies. The otherworldly knowledge he possesses might give Zhao Mi a chance at emerging unharmed. Whether his modern soul can weather the immorality of life in Jianghu is another matter.
