《Strange world》Newness, January 2021 - Part 4

Strangely little difference now
from pre-corona post-bereavement life —
already isolate, pointless, dull and sad
dead inside just fits so well
in deadened dead-end world
2020 plans, hopes, dreams all dead
can't be revived for 2021
(or 2022)
there's no there there
no place to (safely) go
no one to (safely) see
There, there, now — can't truly say
it hurts to hurt a corpse . . .
in some ways, now
(in selfish, stupid, sappy ways)
dearth of loss (may be)
the worst thought of all?

The Mage Of Primordial Chaos
From the moment Xuan Kai was born, he was fated to suffer. Devoid of any magical powers in a world where arcane power rules all, no one could protect him after his parents were assassinated. Betrayed by his friends, cheated on by his fiancee, and humiliated by his own family, no one would've blamed him if he ended his own life. However, he remembered his mother's final words as she passed him a stone pendant – "Live on." And as he held the rough rock in his hand, unbeknownst to himself, a never seen before magic element began waking in his body…

Divine Creatures
Kestra, a [Combat Alchemist] and [Woods Wraith Hunter], is excited to finally receive her third class. But when she attempts to do so, she instead receives a tribulation from the God of Trials, loses her classes, and is informed by the voice of the world that she's been selected to transmigrate with only three days to go. She tries her damnedest to prepare, but even the Elements are different in this new realm. A relatively staid adjustment period is completely abandoned though as she finds that, most distressingly, hundreds of transmigrators have appeared recently with dozens enslaved by the local city lord. Fine! She may have lost her classes and the magic is funky, but she'll be damned if she doesn't have a few true-blue skills up her sleeves. [synopsis re-write by luda305] A light hearted romp where the protag transmigrator *isn't* from Earth. The main story takes place on more of a western xianxia world. Note: profanity tag is because of side characters, and sexual context tag is for some risqué elements before fade-to-black scene. Book 1 is written and scheduled for release a chapter a day till 9/26 (24 chapters total) Book 2 will be added after it is all written. Updated to add fanfic tag because when I picked up the latest Ten Realms I realized that series has had a lot more influence on the setting than I consciously realized. Don't expect military or industrial revolution in xianxia, though.
