《A Hidden Secret(Cancelled)》V3 22: A Lonely, Empty World Where The Monster Echoes Through
Advertisement
As cities burn in ashes, so do the souls inside all the humans that witness the brutal battle worldwide, and as the rain drips through the thin-skinned clouds trying to wash out the high rising fires that reached towards the skies, deaths continue to rise with the blame all on Caden's monstrous image.
Once a bright world, now in shambles from the revenge that lasts a whole decade of Governmental people getting murdered in the public eye. He started as a kid, and he continues it into his ripped away adulthood he would never get to experience in his lifetime.
Caden became addicted to letting all of his powers be released onto the battlefield because that regret never left his mind, the closest allies became distant, the closest enemies became distant. His world was nothing but him floating in the middle of nowhere but darkness, reflecting on all the memories he processed.
If someone said Caden was in a depressed state, he would believe it because, even though he felt nothing, he kept griefing in this locked world he allowed no one to enter. He reconsidered on resetting time to once again live in his nightmare and change it, but no matter how much he changes the past. It always answered with the same results of murdering the loved ones Caden treasured dearly.
"Please, stop the suffering..." Caden defeatedly whispered into the echoes of black storms battling each other as a separate universe he created by changing the past so many times.
His whole body was drowned in darkness to only his eyes that were saved from the virus he had from the very first day of being alive, al he felt was empty rage that stayed with him for his eternity. Caden's eyes mirrored that venomous rage of a blood ocean, leaving only the iris to shine brightly like there was a chance left.

It just a chance that was impossible to grab hold of, redirecting the past strengthened his powers more to the point Caden doesn't know the limit of his own powers he was forcibly given to.
"You'rechangingme" A fast speaking voice intruded Caden's mind.
"Who are you?" Caden asked motionlessly.
"Iamyourpower, speed, Igainedaconsciencejustlikealltheotherpowershas," The fast voice introduced itself, revealing a figure that resembled Cadern but genderless is ran purposely on thick white lightning lines that started darkening to a light blackish colour.
"And why are you the only one that is speaking?" Caden asked calmly.
"Youusedmethemost, sothatcausedmybondtobetightwithinyours." The power answered in the same manner as Caden.
"Do you have a name?" Caden asked again.
"Basingitonmyhistory, mynamewouldbeAsvini, anamegiventoaunisexgender," Asvini informed.
"I bet you had a nice life," Caden muttered under his relaxed breath.
Asvini stared at Caden with their emotionless, dull eyes, tilting their head sideways like they were trying to understand the situation.
"Alife?whatdoesitfeelliketoyourhumans?" Asvini questioned.
"Pain...betrayal...distrust...dull...empty...lifeless...meaningless," Caden responded softly.
"ThatoddlyrelatestothewolrdIusedtolivein, butIscannedyourvoicetoneandsawithadnopercentofemotions, sowhydidyousayemotinalthings?" Asvini asked curiously.
"Aren't you just another version of me? And please, stop speaking so fast." Caden replied.
"I am not you but a power that developed conscience overtime after having it be taken away from me," Asvini's voice crackled, having no gender to identify the spoken voice. Caden didn't respond to the question and remained silent, "You feel regret don't you?" Asvini suddenly asked.
"If regrets felt like this, then yes, I feel regret," Caden answered coldly.
"The subject of your history was learnt as an unmerciful monster that killed without second thoughts but always relived the same life because you didn't want to involve humans the ones you're hanging out with right now. But looking at you, you're the most mysterious subject my world learns on," Asvini chattered in a robotic, crackling tone.

"I'm just another subject to your bastards' likings?" Caden asked.
Asvini adjusted their eyes back on Caden after looking away when Caden asked that question that had no emotions but showed deep hatred, Asvini blinked a couple of times while staring at Caden and began speaking again.
"You humans all say you're all different things but deep inside, you're all just the same, processing hatred, processing sadness, processing emotions in many different ways that they all meet and collide with each other," Asvini stated.
"If that's the way you want to think, then go ahead..have all the rights to diss humanity," Caden asserted.
"No, I'm not dissing humanity. I'm just saying things that are true in many ways, you are all differently categorised in different groups with the same things, what does that mean? You're all still the same but labelled differently," Asvini continued stating.
"Please, you're accidentally leaking your hatred towards humanity," Caden said.
"That isn't my hatred, Caden. It's your influenced emotions back in the past that is making me think this way, or all of your powers." Asvini replied.
"Uhuh..." Caden mumbled.
"Yes, so, since this massive hatred you have is still a hidden thing. I just wanted to warn you that the more evil you become, the more us, your powers, will darken to the shade of a viscous black. And that alone will disable that one chance you want to catch, the white level is a God's given for your last chance..." Asvini acknowledged.
"God? he failed me once, he'll fail me more. If I'm a monster, then he is a freakishly, monstrosity mutant that is more devilish than the devil himself..." Caden snapped, causing Asvini to jolt back into the darkness as it saw the darkness around them both rip into the blood-red.
"Caden! Stop this immediately!" Asvini demanded.
Ignoring the demands, the atmosphere turned to a reddish pit of descending dead bodies with lives being sucked out of them, black lightning shredded off Caden as every power that once affairs with the angle's white touch faded into the devil's black touch.
"I thought my powers would understand me perfectly..."
"You're just the same as all of the humans who looked down on me!" Caden yelled for the very first time, he felt his rage run through his veins and escape into the redness of rebellious devils burning in fire pits with their screams echoing throughout the empty, lifeless world.
"YOU'RE ALL THE SAME!"

The Elder of Mediocrity
In a world of cultivators, psykers, mages, witches, conspiracies and a Cold War, everything is extraordinary. Well, most everything. Oz “Da Shan” Elderweiss is just your average guy in a not average world. He’s not that strong, he’s not that weak — and he’s not getting any better. Da Shan discovers that you’re never too old to have your own coming of age saga. Filled with a burning desire for revenge, but the inability to carry it out, he hatches an insane scheme to change his potential and achieve exponential growth. But his enemies are quite literally the members of his own household and his close friends. He must fight tooth and nail for what he believes in and for the freedom to carve his own path. Join him as he battles people with both the best and worst intentions, with his life on the line. Current Word Count: 136 000, First arc complete. A lot of new content has been added to the early chapters since the end of May. The first chapters are still under construction and editing, but all the major changes are done. I was a webnovel junkie for a long time, but I found it hard to find novels with solid characters, decent plot, philosophical underpinnings and a fully painted world to keep me going. I've taken from every genre I've liked to make a story that satisfies my own cravings for a good story. If you like the story or have suggestions please leave a comment or review. I hope this novel is fun, provocative but above all fun. Enjoy. Yours truly, James Paul Addington PS I will release at least two chapters a week, or one really long chapter. Concerning the tags: The story is primarily Fantasy with Wuxia influence in some elements. Romance won't happen for the first two arcs or so (roughly 40 chapters), I want to build the world before I do that. Tragedy is because of an event that occurs in the book, not the tone of the book. The book is more lighthearted. Slice of Life doesn't occur till the third arc (the romance happens during that arc as well). Magic will also show up more in later arcs, but appears throughout. Reincarnation it's not a reincarnation like in the traditional sense, but it has a similar concept.
