《In New Dimensions Everyday》Glittering Mess 14
Advertisement
Roderick could not believe night had fallen. He had lost track of time while being in the tunnel. Darkness spread more in the forest when he began his search for the forest ranger. Roderick barely could see where he was going. He had stumbled on rocks and roots several times. He only had the light of stars to guide him. And the stars he was seeing were in different alignments. There was not a single recognizable constellation in the sky. He walked like a blind man, touching trees and trusting his instincts till he found a blip of fire somewhere. Roderick knew he was in the right path, so he guessed who the man was behind the fire. As he came closer to fire, he started hearing voices of a man and a woman. He realized they were singing when the distance between him and fire shortened. Roderick could see the house of ranger as well. Ranger and his wife were singing around the fire. Roderick hid in bushes to hear what they were singing. Every word they uttered was of the cipher. They kept on singing it even though it did not rhyme. He came out of his cover when he saw no gun around the ranger. "How do you know this song?" asked Roderick. They stopped dancing. Roderick had killed their smile and joy just by appearing there. "This is our ancestral song, poacher." Ranger sounded drunk, "All they left for their next generations was this song and order to live in here." The treasure is belongs to him? Roderick was shocked. He thought of asking about his gun would be a terrible move so he went with the flow, "Can you tell me about your ancestors?" Roderick sat by fire. "I don’t know much about how they lived. But legends say our ancestors die and turn into ghosts." "Everyone says it." "Ours says it differently. It is as stupid as this song. As far as I have heard, one of our forefathers' soul lives in this forest and the soul salivates when the family member who has experienced miscarriages dies." "Do you believe in it?" "No but I sometimes worry." "Why do you?" "We don’t have children. Some demons came in my wife's dream and killed the baby every time she got pregnant." "What did the demons say in your dream?" Roderick asked her. "It sang this very song." She said. "Do you have pictures of your ancestors?" Roderick asked. "Why do you want to see it?" the ranger snapped. "Because I think I also belong to the same bloodline." Roderick said. The ranger seemed to be sober straight away. Roderick had not thought the lie could be this effective. "I have some photographs of my ancestors. I want to know if you also have same with you or not." "Go in." Ranger uncorked a whiskey bottle, "You will see them on walls." Roderick stood up from the rock and went inside his small house. He found some pictures hanging on the wall. Ranger's gun was hanging near those pictures. He caught the gun without having a gander at those photo frames. He made his mind on killing the ranger. When he walked out of the door, he saw the same ghost hovering near the trees from where Roderick had come. "I can't leave from there but my replicated form can." Ghost said, "Ranger, run!"

My World To Live
[Do Not Read this version, New FINAL version uploaded August 9th, 2021 as separate fiction, click to link here on RR. Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters both demons and spirits in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who just reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is an abnormal human with elemental powers, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world of magic, danger, mystery, and intrigue. But this not a game. That simple adventure is actually the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tear even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought she was. And not even the gods can change the destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence. — Fantasy || Adventure || Romance || Action || Mystery || Drama || Science Fiction — The My World To Live (MWTL) series, the alternative short name is Canaan, is comprised of three books symbolically named My World, To Live, and My World To Live. Two years prior, the entire story had been planned and detailed out from start to finish before actual writing. Thus, the story will never be dropped. While the genre is largely Fantasy, the book is comprised of many other elements including a School Life (Magic Academy) story portion. MWTL has a lot of scattered symbolism and allusions, hence, the mystery aspect. The science fiction elements progressively become more pronounced, and the slow romance is a late bloomer. The female lead is strong and independent, and her backstory and identity unravel as drivers of the plot. Expect lots of action/fighting throughout and scattered philosophical and psychological themes arising. It's a human journey to find the essence of one's living and purpose. What kind of world do I wish to live for? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I hope to share the journey with you~! Canaan's Original and New Covers: If you're curious about my art and the various covers I made for this series and other authors, I have a RR thread that makes free covers and shows art processes. [October 1, 2020 Notice: Hello, I aplogize to all followers for suddenly taking an extended hiatus. Life threw a lot at my face and then the pandemic happened, so I hadn't been able to write until around the last month when I decided to challenge myself and finish the first book in this series. I am ok now, and thank you for your patience and understanding. No words can express how much every reader means to me. RR was the first writing platform that I ever felt accomplished to any small degree, so I am forever grateful to it. Multiples changes have been made since this final revision and writing of the ending, so please see the latest chapter detailing the update. This also includes my decision to submit this story to the 2020 Wattys contest (the deadline was Sept 30th). That means I will not be posting the updated version of this story on here until the contest is over (since I doubt I'll win anyway lol). And so, if you want to read the full, now completed (woohoo!) story, please go to my Wattpad. Thank you once again, and wishing you all the very best health and happiness! FINAL UPDATE, March 7, 2021: The complete story has been re-posted after the Wattys. This version that was on Wattys is the one being re-posted. However, the Final Version (which will be on a separate book from this to remain organized, and is technically the fifth version of the story xD) will be released May 2021. For more information, please read this update linked here. Thank you to all readers for taking this two year journey with me!

Oublivant
Oublivants: a category of dungeons characterised by the antithesis of life, necrosis. "Dungons as a whole tend towards the lethal side when it comes to exploring them; however, an oublivant actively seeks out destruction on a grand scale. No greater example of their deep hatred for life exists than the very first discovery of an oublivant. It was a massive dungeon spanning miles in all directions. It continuously expanded along the surface, so fast you could see it, and left nothing but a scorched, withered wasteland in its wake. Wherever the oublivant resides, nothing but the undead exist, as all living life has been eradicated. Why it is, exactly, the oublivant seem so against life so as to break the passive rule dungeons have is unknown. What is known, however, is that they're a threat that, upon discovery, is to be immediately eliminated." - Archomagus Addiom Onero, Court of VascilNote: This is my first story on royal road. It'd be nice if you were nice... nicely.
