The Mind of the Empyrean

In a cosmos where the Heavenly Dao is broken, its seven sentient Aspects warring for dominance, true power is not found in brute force, but in understanding. In the Empyrean Realm, Jian Feng, the Young Lord of the ancient Azure Dragon Clan, is a prodigy unlike any other. Born with an unnerving calm and a mind that operates on a level beyond his peers, he is respected for his wisdom and feared for his unfathomable intellect. While others cultivate Qi, Jian Feng cultivates schemes, his every move part of a grand design years in the making. His serene life of study is shattered when a silent, horrifying plague descends upon his clan’s territories. Entire villages are discovered not dead, but hollowed out, their life force and spiritual energy harvested with terrifying precision, leaving behind nothing but fragile husks of dust. Where others see a curse or a demonic art, Jian Feng perceives the horrifying truth through his secret ability: the Star-Chart of a Myriad Daos. This system, bound to his soul, is no simple interface; it allows him to perceive the fundamental threads of reality. He sees that the plague is no random act of violence, but a clean, industrial-scale harvest, its tracks erased by a masterful manipulation of the Dao of Ruin. This single crime pulls Jian Feng into a vortex of cosmic conspiracy. He soon discovers the "whispering plague" is merely a symptom of the silent war between the seven Aspects of the Heavenly Dao, a conflict that threatens to unravel all of existence. To confront a power that can challenge heaven itself, Jian Feng knows he cannot rely on strength alone. He must forge an alliance of unprecedented power—the Celestial Constellation.

Mind Paradox

“Time doesn’t just pass. Sometimes… it waits. Watches. Repeats. Consumes.” Elias Rehn is a clockmaker in the fog-choked alleys of an unnamed city lost between Victorian London and ancient Kyoto. Quiet, solitary, and methodical—he lives a predictable life marked by one strange pattern: He always wakes at 4:44 AM. Every. Single. Day. No alarm. No reason. No escape. But on the forty-fourth morning, his reflection blinks half a second too late. And whispers: “I’m you. From tomorrow.” Suddenly, Elias finds himself pulled into an endless loop of fractured time, cursed mirrors, and split identities across paradox-bound timelines. In one life, he is a guilt-ridden clockmaker. In another, a silent shinobi from a forgotten dynasty. Elsewhere, a war historian who catalogues futures that never happened. And in the deepest layer—a child who remembers everything, but has no mouth to scream. Each version of himself leaves breadcrumbs behind—echoes of déjà vu, sleep paralysis, suicidal dreams, and whispers in glass. But as the loops spiral out of control, Elias begins to understand: He was never a man stuck in time. He was Time's anomaly—the glitch in a system older than reality. And something ancient, something not human, is trying to overwrite him. The more he remembers, the less real the world becomes. And the closer he gets to the truth… …the more he forgets who he ever was. “You don’t escape the mirror by breaking it. You escape by becoming what it reflects.”

Battle Of Palaces

They say the greatest discovery is born out of passion, and that was the spark of her journey. Linda Song, a modern day assistant at an elite auction house, stumbled upon an unexpected page in the inventory ledger, a page she had no recollection of ever seeing or creating. It described a relic renowned for its time-traveling ability in the past. Driven by curiosity to decipher if such a relic truly existed, and what secrets it holds if it does, she makes her way into the store-keep and to her greatest surprise, there it stood...just as it was described in the ledger. Bewildered by its beauty, and anxious to discover whether the relic truly held such abilities, or was it just another fallacy put together to attract the highest bidder, she sought to examine it. Linda carries the small stone under the sun rays filtering through the storeroom window to get a better view. Suddenly, it pulsed and a blue fluorescent light erupted from the relic, engulfing Linda. And in an instant, the modern world surrounding her vanished. She was no longer Linda Song but a maid within the Inner Palace of a rising dynasty, caught between ambitious concubines and a simmering political conspiracy. What mystery lies behind the stone and her sudden transmigration? Will she survive this new world she has come to know, and will her modern knowledge prove valuable or become her downfall? Why not embark on this journey with her... ************************** DISCLAIMER This work is purely fiction, all characters, setting and events are ideas of the author. if anything in it resembles something you know of, then it's purely coincidence. this is a multiple side character book with the main lead growing and developing subtly. if you are lover of slow burn fantasy books, hook in...you will love this .
