《A Curious World》Prologue
Advertisement
There are many that ascend to immortality and above.
Some even manage to overcome all others in their world, to forge their own everlasting legends. They fought through trials and tribulations, made many sacrifices and overcome countless foes.
They may think they have reached the end of the world, becoming the one existence is control of everything, but they didn’t.
They’re merely trapped inside their little bubble.
Afterall, how could there be so many existences overlooking everything if there weren’t countless confined worlds?
It wouldn’t be so easy to obtain true omnipotence.
Afterall, Destiny has fed them all they’ve needed. They may claim that it is due to their own credit, their own merit that they’ve achieved their current state but Destiny was the one who had always guided them to the existence of a higher realm.
They merely followed after the many that have ascended, those who left behind clues but what if, there was a higher plane of existence never discovered by anyone?
No predecessor.
No oracle who foresaw it.
No telepathic vision.
No soul guidance.
No clues.
A perfect concealment.
I have been in this plane for eons. I have watched entire worlds being born and entire worlds being ruined. Some live blissfully in immortality, not knowing that their miniscule chance at poking the bubble fades with passing time.
Some have another Unique One being born in their world, and this time around, they lose Destiny’s guidance. I tire of this.
This time, I shall make a new world, one with one small, tiny clue to reaching my realm.
This shall not test your determination, your willpower or tenacity. There is no sixth sense given by Destiny. You shall have one miniscule clue, ever so small, about the existence of my plane.
There is no way to ascertain the truth, no seer can ever hope to divine this. Now, show me if any of you have the stupidity to venture forth with no truth, no knowledge of what’s ahead for the small chance to reach this plane of mine.

I wish you all the best, as destiny is not coming.
I’m a very normal 25 year old neet. I didn’t think that Isekai stories were actually true, but I just reincarnated.
Maybe it’s time for me to be thrown into a foreign world with magic and dragons, only to realise that I have the game-breaking ability to reset time to my last checkpoint after I die.
Realising that I must use this ability to protect those I find dear to me even though I haven’t actually been with them that long, I die again and again for them. Then, just when I've started getting the hang of this, a cute maid girl confesses to me.
She seems like the perfect wife, but I live my life for only one albino cursed princess, so I reject her. Or not. My name’s not like a car company brand afterall.
I don’t think I’m in my own body though, it feels pretty foreign. If this is an Isekai story, now’s about the time for my memories to come rushing in, no?
“AHHHHHHHH!!” I screamed within my head.
Huh. Well, nothing happened. Was worth a shot?
I get up from my bed. Now that I notice, isn’t this very chinese styled? I wonder if I’m in feudal China. I’ll be a special reincarnator if I ended up going into the body of someone in the same normal world… wonder how that’ll work, someone from Taiwan being born in modern China would be stupid.
We do have the internet, so I doubt being born in another country before would help anything in our world. I could volunteer myself as a test subject? I can almost see the headlines: “Reincarnation finally proven?! Teenage boy reincarnates into another Country!”. I’ll probably be swamped by religious zealots so I’m going to pass though.

Speculations aside, I can’t seem to recall how I died in my previous life.
It feels rather hazy. Actually, aside from the fact that I was 25 years old and didn’t have a job, I basically remember nothing. I still have common knowledge, but I just don’t know anything about my past self…
Come to think of it, I’ve been wandering around my spacious room for half the day here, is no one coming to explain anything to me?
Well, I guess I’ll just head out then.

The Crystern: Heart of Adventures
The Crystern: Heart of Adventure has been dropped out of the Writathon Challenge and placed on hiatus until further notice, in order to better plan out what's happening and to give me time to work on older projects. Fifteen-year-old Skyler Kadrix III wishes to set off on a journey to find the fabled Cyrstern, a skybeast unlike any other and the origin of the Crystals that grant people special abilities, increase their own abilities, and even allow them to gain Experience and Levels. A promise to his mother has kept him from setting off yet, but he's nearly ready to leave. When he meets Finn, who came with his master, the elf Sara, in search of a relic of the Ancients rumored to have been hidden somewhere on their skybeast, Skyler finds his journey beginning sooner than he'd expected. The journey takes the young boys across the sea of clouds, to various skybeasts and adventures. Whether they find the Crystern or not, they don't care as long as they keep moving forward. Posting schedule TBD upon return. The Sexual Content tag is for once the boys are adults, not while they're still minors. Because of this, it will be a fair while before the qualifying content appears in-story.
