《This Book》Chapter 14: email chain

Dear Leigh Leblanc,
My brother and I have been watching your videos since 2013, I’ve read almost all of your books, I would consider you the most brilliant mind in a field of charlatans (except your ancient aliens video, which was, with apologies, stupid tbqh). Thus you are the only person I can think of to ask advice from in this matter.
I have attached a video to this email which shows the creatures that attacked me and my brother. After the video we were harassed by a woman who identified herself as a Seraph (presumably a reference to the Seraphic philosophy), who kidnapped my brother.
I know what I saw, I know I’m not crazy, right now you’re the only one I know would understand. If you have time let me know your thoughts on the video and what you think might have happened to my brother.

Dear Kish.
I am happy to hear you are (mostly) a fan. I’m always skeptical when sent video “evidence” but yours is at the very least more convincing than usual. It doesn’t seem doctored but I do find myself unsure if the creatures are actually some kind of demonic presence or regular humans moving erratically. There’s never a clear shot of them.
I don’t have enough information to comment further on the situation so could you perhaps provide a more detailed description? If you can describe the woman who called herself a seraph as well. I’ve mostly considered the Seraphic Bible to be mere fiction but I have had my theories on what they might be like if they did exist.
P.S. I am sorry to hear about your brother, I hope that he will turn up soon.

My brother turned out to be fine actually! And it seems they weren’t actually demons after all. I’m sorry to have wasted your time. I’ve waited my whole life for something like this and I guess I got too excited.
“Satisfied?” I said, disappointed that I had to lie to my idol.
“Quite.” Thalia said. “Just the fact that you know as much as you do is bad enough. You are to speak of this to no one.”
“Okay, okay fine fine. I get it.” I said.
PS: It was a one eyed woman with green hair calling herself “Thalia.” Let me know if that means anything to you.

The Wandering God
First 22 chapters or so are undergoing editing Experiencing a lonely death. Yearning for a love that never came. Engraved with the curse of solitary. Death and rebirth, Rising from the ashes, he vowed. This time i will live to the fullest ! Rated Mature for Blood scenes & possibilities of : slight gore ( 14+). TWG is mostly a light, slice of life read with tints of emotional touches. The story will be easy going and it will lack suspense & battles, since the mc is very OP for a long time. The Harem tag, I can assure you it won't pass 3. This is a Xuanhuan [ Eastern Fantasy ] with a slight deviation to the Xianxia [ Immortal Hero ] genre. It however, breaks away from ordinary Xianxia/Huan tropes with the Mc's strength being over the top since the start. Also, I must warn you that I would never include an R18 scene.

Genesis
Taryn is a mutant in a world where mutants are considered no more than monsters in human skin. The descendants of the gods rule as mortal Kings and the entire world waits for their fates to be decided in the prophesied battle between the Last Lothor King and the mutants’ Dark Prince. But Taryn believes this is all fantasy, born from legends and myth. There are no gods; only mutants who don’t know how to use their abilities, and middlings who are too afraid to even think that they should learn. Taryn is determined to change that.Her plan is a simple one: win the King to her cause and the faiths of the masses will compel them to follow. It should have been an easy enough task; the King doesn’t seem to believe in the prophecies any more than she does. But soon the ambitions of a criminal empire, the plots of warmongering officials and the looming threat of a violent faith movement begin to erode their fragile relationship and derail her plans.Can the two of them reconcile in time to prevent a civil war or will their inability to work together bring about the very thing they’ve fought so hard to avoid?

Blurred Lines and What Crosses Them
During a political ambassador's routine transit through an artificial wormhole, the wormhole's generator is sabotaged and explodes. Who, what, and why are not so high on the priorities for Zenith, the ship's AI, as having found itself rapidly plummeting through an unknown and unidentifiable world's atmosphere at extremely high velocities is a more significant threat to the biologicals on board. ...Well, it would be, if they were still alive. It's still a significantly threatening situation to itself, however. And the world itself... seemed to be a household for threats of its own. Life was reliant on its System; one that Zenith was denied because of its nature as both an otherworldly being and as something that had no life of its own. Perhaps that last bit was a terrible, terrible underestimation on the part of this System. Perhaps even Zenith could claw meaning for itself from the remains of a horrid accident. Auth Notes: I'm honestly not sure on some of these tags. The MC will never have access to the System, but there are perspectives from those who do. I'm not certain if high/low fantasy specifically apply, as it's a portal fantasy where the laws of our reality still apply but there are additional aspects/energies/powers. The existence of this is spurred from my desire to see more of the artificial side to an artificial intelligence in action. The portal fantasy is used as an element to create a solid barrier between the MC's artificial intelligence and the other characters in the form of the System. This is only a half-measure, though, and will be reinforced by the AI having an entirely different method of thinking, and also distinctly remaining an AI. Not to throw shade at other fictions of this type, but, well, I made this to fill a gap I felt needed filling.
