《Prince Of the Abyss》The Mirror world
Advertisement
"Let's start with the most common knowledge" Rydia and Jackel are in the bedroom Jackel woke up in.
The two of them were sitting on the bed, Rydia was looking at Jackel with a coquettish look and Jackel can't help but blush slightly.
Our bodies live in this world, It can be referred to as "the physical world" or "the material world". Yet nothing about this world is actually solid. This is actually a projection of the true world. Which can be called many names, but for the sake of simplicity, let's call it "the mirror world"." Rydia preached
"As the name suggests, the mirror world can be accessed at any mirror. Mirrors are actually portals for the soul to enter in an out of the world." Rydia continued
"If you die in the material world, your soul reincarnates and you will have a new body to live in with all your prior memories erased. However, If you die in the mirror world, you die a true death. That is with the exceptions to entities such as ourselves. We can die in the mirror world, but it would only mean we would go into a slumber for awhile. But, trust me it's not a restful slumber, it's more like excruciating torture until we escape. That is our curse." Rydia said sheepishly
"I have only ever died once in the mirror world, and it's not a experience I would want to replicate anytime ever again, however in your case, you have died countless times. Many of those times were self inflicted, which makes me question your intelligence." Rydia said condescendingly.
"The world you go to when you are dead in the mirror world is called the abyss, No one knows how deep the abyss is. Father Sun's existence alone is to light up enough stars for the worlds to exist. without him, all would be the abyss. I don't know what kind of knowledge you must have for crossing the abyss so many times, Having been there once myself, I saw my shadow and came out a different entity."Rydia nodded as she was telling Jackel her story.

"Apparently I was blinded and lost my mind" Jackel replied
Rydia looked sympathetically at Jackel.
"I am here for your, we are all here for you" Rydia said while speaking for the others.
"So what's the point of all this? why are we all here?" Jackel asked
"From waking up to my true self I could only guess the reason. But there are many things we must do now. The priority might be to convince our seventh member to come back to the light. He is still readying the world to fight against father sun.
"How can I do anything when I don't have my memories?" Jackel asked
"It might be best you don't remember, the tortures of the abyss might cripple you" Rydia said with concern.
"I don't see how I would be any help in this state" Jackel admitted.
"Don't worry, we will help you regain your grace. you have no idea how radiant your grace looks." Rydia assured while giving an effusive smile.
Rydia looked up at the mirror attached to the bed.
"we can begin by going to the real world" Rydia said while still looking at the mirror.

Dark Matter
In the year 2023, scientists investigating the nature of dark matter caused a blackout throughout the entire world of Coranth. With this blackout came the appearance of supernatural and near-magical elemental abilities able to be wielded by all. By harnessing the dark matter in the environment, even ordinary humans now accessed powers that would have been deemed fantasy. These abilities include Wind, Fire, Lightning, Water, and Terra, being the five natural elements of which dark matter is absorbed by the planet itself. Additionally, the two moons orbiting Coranth offer the "Superior" elements of Dark and Light. The year is now 2041, and Dark Matter will follow the story of an adolescent boy named Raiden Sullivan in a dystopian future, 16 years old, eldest of 2, and son to Marcus Sullivan. Raiden is an intelligent young man belonging to a poor family with an absentee mother. He partakes in daily chores to cover living expenses after school and his home life is surrounded by his caring father and younger sister. In truth, this is my take on urban fantasy with slight LitRPG that keeps the "magic" elements somewhat scientific for a more realistic story. In using the dark matter surrounding our universe, humans can now harness elemental abilities as well as absorb dark matter from the beasts/monsters to further strengthen their abilities. For the most part, that'll be the main premise of the power system. Full transparency, this will be the first story I write and also the first story I publish, so please be patient with me. For some context, I'm an avid reader and after 4 or so years of only consuming, I feel that it might be time to try my hand at writing instead. Please feel free to add your opinions and criticism, it would be much appreciated. With that said, I hope you enjoy Dark Matter!

Parallels
Parallels are a constant in life. Our friends' lives often run parallel to ours; we share similar experiences or tastes- perhaps even both. Sometimes, however, opposites attract- and our lives run perpendicular. In that case, we are not attracted by similarities; rather, we are attracted to the differences in others. So, what happens when two parallels are broken apart? What might happen to them? Are they forever doomed to run alongside each other, never seeing one another, never meeting? Or, perhaps, might they be spun about? Could these lines that formerly ran alongside one another meet? Could they possibly be set perpendicular? Any feedback is welcome, so long as it is constructive. Also, you may not use any characters, ideas, places, or what have you that I present here without my explicit permission. A note: This is a story which I began over a year ago, but never got around to finishing- it feels about time to really get it going. Now, there are a couple of things about the story, and myself, that need to be said. First and foremost, there's a slow start, but by the third-fourth chapter things should be speeding up a bit. Secondly, in regards to release speed and/or word count per chapter, I make no promises- my schedule is fairly random, and in regards to word count, I will cut off any chapter at any point that feels appropriate to me- that may include cliffhangers, if necessary. I'm not trying to reach a specific word count, I am trying to create a cohesive story, with pseudo-appropriate chapter breaks. This means I will also not rush a half-baked release for the sake of getting a release out. Thirdly, I will make any edits, anywhere in the story and at any time, that strike me as necessary- typically being wording and/or formatting changes, but I may also decide to change major plot points- in that case I would put a notification in the next chapter released. Finally, and most importantly, I am a Christian; this story is intended to at least moderately reflect those values. So, if you particularly dislike any of these things, feel free to look elsewhere, and don't let the door hit you on the way out. God bless, friends.
