《Silence》Chapter 8
Advertisement
I learned more about my family--or more specifically, my kids.
Mason, the older one, loves to read. He’s only a three-year-old, but he already reads middle-school level books! Or maybe he was just pretending to read all of those times. Anyways, his eyes light up like saucers when he sees any books and he jumps up and down shouting like he just won the lottery.
The younger one, Selena, is still a baby. She’s a quiet baby who seems to be watching everything. She seems so concentrated when she watches, like she’s watching an incredible movie. And then she grins. She grins at anyone and anything. And her laugh… Her laugh is so beautiful that my day gets better just remembering it.
And my wife--she is the most beautiful, lovable, wonderful woman that I...I can’t remember.
I miss them.
I wonder how old they’ll be when I see them again.
If I see them again.
I’m lonely. People can live alone but solitude drives one crazy. Yes, I have all the things in the world to keep me busy. Yes, I have a trillion books I can read and over a million languages I can learn.
But I’m alone. I’m completely alone.
It’s even worse than that guy in that one anime (what was his name?) who “Created” other people in his world. At least he had people to talk with. A conversation cannot happen without at least two sides.
I need someone--besides myself--to talk to.
I long for some sort of contact, anything.
This solitude hurts.
Is this what those criminals in solitary confinement feel like (except they don’t have anything to do, unlike me)? But they have guards passing by and half of them are already crazy. Or maybe they’re in a worse situation than me.
I don’t want to be here. I don’t care if I’ll live forever or if I cannot die or if I could do all the things in the world. It’s all worthless without family, friends, someone to share these experiences with.

But if this was all for my family, I regret nothing. They should be able to live a luxurious life without any debt.
I wonder how many hours have passed since I first came here? How many days, months, maybe years? Has time been distorted? Am I in a time after the fall of humanity? Is this even real? Am I even real?
No one will respond to my questions. Again, I’m all alone.
I’m begging whoever is out there, maybe listening to my thoughts. Let me out. Please.

Essentia Animus
Second Book of the Soul - Celesi Veil Trilogy When the living essence of three girls are put at risk, giving room for a second essence within themselves, even their hyper developed fantasy world might not be enough to contain their new found ambitions. Another story of another world, these three girls must adapt to their new essence, all while each is left to question if they are truly still even alive. While this story is a sequel of the previous story in the trillogy, it is also fully capable of standing alone in its own light, taking place in a distant corner of a Celese returning readers will be otherwise incapable of recognizing. However, the events of the story are a spoiler for the previous book, in case that matters to anyone. This story takes place over two centuries after the events of Vitae Memorandum, when Celese had developed into an advanced world, improved to a point that it is much like modern-day Earth while still using the gift instead of technology. The Aethyx languages are still present in this book, and even English still exists in the world after the events of the previous book, but are much less of a focus after the same closing events of the previous book. What is instead important is how the ending events of the previous book had resulted in the start of the Instrumentation Era, and exactly how the gift translates in a modern-day sense. While this book is still effectively a fantasy world of its own kind of magic, it isn’t the classical medieval scene that would be typical for such a story. The laws of science still do not exist in Celese, but that didn’t stop it from developing into something that looks similar enough. Earth itself still remains present on the other side of the veil, and its previous exposure continues to shape and advance Celese into the world it has become. This story contains scenes exibiting mania and similar dark themes, as it goes to great length to explore concepts of life and death. While the degree of such themes should not be considered to be as serious compared to matters such as actual horror, the psychological depth is still siginifcant enough to be potentially concerning for people sensitive to matters of this nature, such as any individuals with concerns questioning matters of suicide, mental harm, or a variety of emotional injuries. While none of these subjects actually occur in the story, readers who are currently troubled by such matters may find themselves considering old wounds if they are especially capable of empathy while reading, which could lead to furthered emotional or mental stress. Readers with a high capacity for empathy may find themselves troubled by concerns regarding any potential lack of mental/emotional control as well as considerations regarding the meaning of death. Readers who appreciate subtle dark themes in a story may instead find this to be an interesting twist of the same idea.

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.
