Church Of the Divine will
For Aeons the Universe was a mystery but it was told to the prophet Orsule by the universe itself the truth of existence this truth is the tenet of the church.
Excerpt of “the Creation” from the first scroll.
In the empty Aether there was nothingness. Nothingness was incomprehensible. It was minuscule but vast it was everything and it was nothing. This paradox birthed the idea of chaos. The chaos was and was not. Chaos could not truly exist on its own; as being alone patterns began to emerge in the chaos. These patterns created it’s sister, Order. The two existed in the absence of creation and their existence gave substance to the Universe. The two spun round and round unable to effect much of the nothingness. The twin existences without will or reason gave birth to something new; something that was not nothingness something that combined both chaos and order. This new creation was Life. Life needed a place to exist so it begat space into the nothing. This new growing mass of substance began to expand in the nothing and by expanding created the concept of time. Time passed until some of the new life reached an end, this brought forth the new force of Death. These 6 truths lead to the existence of the high plane, the first universe. These forces then moved through the universe and collided. New and wondrous forces were created, magnetism, sound, radiation and gravity. These split further into untold combinations and elements, which were broken into smaller combinations, lightning, ice, metal, wood. Until the basic and most pure of elements emerged these were the earth, fire, water and air. In their harmony there was a yin and yang two forces again swirling round and round these were the light and the dark. This is the holy truth of creation.

Treatise on Philosophy of man and his role in the planes – attributed to 16th Grand Deacon of the Church of Divine will.In knowing the truth of what was, the role of man is to determine his place and future in regards to the divine truth. What however is that role and where does it lead.
Knowing the divine truth of the universe it is plain to see that the one fundamental fact is that everything is maintained by balance. There is no chaos without order, no dark without light, no life without death. Surely then so must man find a place of balance in the universe. One cannot ignore his own evil and darkness nor can he deny his goodness and light. Though in many cases man must make a conscious effort to proliferate goodness and order as his natural tendencies and inborn desires skew toward primal and evil ends. The second truth to the role of man is that he must seek to banish his own internal nothingness. If the universe has the 4 corners then man has his own fundamental forces; his speed, strength, spirit and intelligence. He must bring these attributes out in training both body and soul. So his powers may grow and in turn combat his own emptiness. His deeds should maintain harmony with those around him as he maintains his own internal balance. In this way his benevolence and good works balance his sins and transgressions and man is one with each other and with the universe.
Where does this established role lead man. As we all exist within time it is hard to see where the future will lead. The clue we are given is the inherent harmony of the universe. If everything spins with its opposite force (light, dark, life death) then we must assume that all of everything lies within these revolving forces. If the nothing gave way to something it is clear that the ebb and flow between the two will one day recreate the coming of a new nothingness. This fact will weigh heavily on the mind of some, but it should not. For when the nothing comes man will truly be in harmony with all of everything and in that moment that time ceases to flow then all of Mankind will be in eternal harmony until everything is reborn again in the grand cycle of the next creation.

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!

Tales of Ordinary, Completely Unremarkable Contractors
"Where life had no value, death, sometimes, had its price. That is why the mercenaries appeared." - Artur Xerxes, in A Century of Disappointment: Memoirs of a Travelling Dwarf It's never too difficult to land contracts for a set very specialised skills in a continent teeming with werewolves, vampires, giant leopards, undead and, god forbid, elves. The difficulty comes when these contractors find themselves suffocated in the dense atmosphere of this world's rigid - and mostly unfair - rules; death, suffering and misfortune await those unwilling to sacrifice to bend these in their favour. In this non-linear plot, you will observe a scarred and deformed farm girl cashing her first bounty posters, a seemingly ordinary barmaid at a tavern in the bustling centre of a sprawling, corrupt city and an enigmatic leader of a firm specialising in dealings any other would consider suicidal. Watch them all take everything to the next level at every available opportunity, and then feel dread at the thought that this still might not be enough to halt the physical embodiment of doom about to do what it does best Please, feel free to review and comment! Any sort of feedback can help me become a better writer and write more engaging stories for you. I used to update once every 3-5 days, but this rewrite is taking much too long...I do hope it will be worth it.

Order: Slayer [Modern LITRPG Progression]
The modern world was met with a tumultuous surprise when strange portals opened, leading to other worlds, and from them came monsters who had nothing but the foulest of intentions. On that day, humanity received their greatest tool in combating this threat: the Slayer System. Those who accepted the System's power were called Slayers, and they had created a new, prosperous peace. Decades after, Alexander Shen lives in Ordo, the Slayer Capital of the world, months away from graduating at his university. Although uncertain about his future, he wishes for nothing but a normal life for himself and his younger sister. However, as another disaster strikes, finding himself in the throes of catastrophe (once again), he realizes that the stars have other plans for him. Having his normal life snatched away from him, he is determined to fight, even if it means shooting down the stars. [SAGA 1: STARBORN NIGHT] The Ordo Disaster has begun, and the golden barrier has been raised for the safety of the outside world. Nothing is getting out, nothing is getting in. The people of Ordo are trapped in their own homes with monsters banging at every door. Alexander has to work with the Slayers in order to free their city from the invaders, and to protect everyone he loves. Current Arc: Arc 2 - Comet Order: Slayer is a modern LitRPG progression, inspired by works like Solo Leveling and Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint. If you like a character-focused story, a system that allows for various types of magic, some romance, all with a foot in realism, then perhaps you will like this one. You will see clever characters, strong characters, absolute idiots, and more, interacting in the modern world. The story is structured into Sagas and Arcs. Sagas revolve around a central plotline comprised of multiple Arcs. Due to the premise of Saga 1, do not expect much progression in the story until the saga ends. Schedule: Chapters will be posted three times a week: Monday - Wednesday - Friday at 12PM EST.
