FRAGMENTED TRUTH

A vortex of dimensional energy tore through Lin Fengtian's consciousness, unraveling and rearranging every particle of his body in a painful translational process. The sensation was like being immersed in a sea of ice and then instantly thrown into an incandescent furnace.

Who knows how long he was trapped in that dimensional limbo until his body finally slammed into the hard surface. The air was sucked out of his lungs as he landed on his back, his vision spinning wildly as the gray sky rolled unnaturally above him.

“The first transition always feels the worst,” Elder Yi's familiar voice sounded from somewhere nearby.

Lin Fengtian forced himself to sit up, blinking several times until the world around him finally stopped spinning. He was in some sort of vast grassland, yet there was nothing normal about this place. The grass beneath him was silvery in color, moving against the direction of the prevailing wind. In the distance, mountains floated upside down in the air, their peaks poi

    The vortex of dimensional energy violently released Lin Fengtian. He was knocked to the rocky surface, his body still weak from injuries and dimensional trauma. He lay there for a moment, his breath coming in short gasps, while the last image of his mother turning into a silvery light continued to linger in his mind.“Mother...” she whispered, her voice hoarse with an emotion she never thought she would feel-a deep longing for someone she had just met.“She gave us time,” The Last One knelt beside her, her golden eyes dimming. “Mei Ling knew the risks she was taking.”Lin Fengtian rose with sudden anger. “But you didn't tell me! You knew about my mother all along and you hid it!”Elder Yi, who was standing a few meters away from them, sighed heavily. “Secrets don't always equal lies, Lin Fengtian. There is knowledge that can kill you if you possess it too soon.”“And now that knowledge might have killed my mom,” Lin Fengtian stared back. He looked around for the first time, observing

  • The Gate of Eternity Curse of Heaven   PARADOCAL IMAGES

    Thousands of shards of memory scattered like broken glass, each reflecting a fragment of the life Lin Fengtian had lived but never remembered. He drowned in the sea of the Last One's consciousness, sucked into a vortex of memories that were both unfamiliar and familiar.“You make the same mistakes...” the whisper came from nowhere, echoing in the mental dimension he now inhabited. “You always choose the same path...”Lin Fengtian tried to maintain his consciousness, forming a mental shield like Elder Yi had taught him. However, the memories were too strong, too real, that he was unable to distinguish between himself and the Last One.“I'm not him,” Lin Fengtian confirmed to himself, his voice echoing in the void. “I'm different.”“Really?” the whisper returned. “Look...”A memory emerged with painful intensity-Lin Fengtian, or a version of himself from the previous cycle, stood before the half-open Paradox Door. In his hands, Mei Ling lay weak, her blood flowing in intricate patterns

  • The Gate of Eternity Curse of Heaven   THE CANVAS OF TRUTH

    Lin Fengtian stood in the middle of a sea of his own reflections. Each face-even his own-had a different expression, age, and features. Some looked wise and tired, while others were young yet cold and calculating. There were versions of her with golden eyes like the Last One, while others seemed completely human without a trace of primordial power.“How could I possibly find my true self?” Lin Fengtian whispered to himself, “If I don't know who I really am myself?”“That's the essence of this test,” one of his reflections replied, the figure of a young man younger than the current Lin Fengtian, with long hair and a gentle gaze. “Finding yourself among the possibilities.”Another reflection-an old man with an elongated scar on his face-laughed dryly. “Don't listen to him. He's just Lin Fengtian who never met Elder Yi. The version that never existed other than in possibility.”“And you're the version that gave up on the Compiler,” the third reflection mocked, a man with sharp eyes and a

  • The Gate of Eternity Curse of Heaven   THE BLOOD OF PARADOCKS

    Lin Fengtian felt the world around him tremble. Not a physical vibration, but rather the resonance of reality wavering under the weight of the newly revealed truth. He looked at Elder Yi with a profound look-a mixture of disappointment, anger, and something darker.“Blood infusion?” Lin Fengtian's voice sounded foreign even to himself. “So I'm not a natural vessel. I'm just... an experiment?”Elder Yi raised his face, which now looked very old. The age lines that were usually camouflaged by his authoritative aura were now clearly visible like gaping wounds.“Not an experiment, Lin Fengtian. You are the last hope.”Lin Fengtian laughed blandly. “And that justifies the lies all along? Justifies you guys manipulating my life since I couldn't even speak yet?”The wind blew strongly in the Resonance Dimension, carrying energy flakes that glittered like stardust. In the distance, the dimensional sky began to change color-from silvery blue to a menacing dark purple. A sign that their time wa

  • The Gate of Eternity Curse of Heaven   RESONANCE OF THE THREE BLOODS

    Absolute silence enveloped the Resonance Dimension. Even the dimensional cracks emitting the Architect's white light seemed frozen in time. Lin Fengtian felt the world slowing down around him, every second felt like an eternity while his mother's words echoed in his mind.“My father...?” Lin Fengtian finally whispered, his voice almost inaudible.Mei Ling nodded slowly, her eyes never leaving the silvery figure of the Compounder who now seemed frozen in his defensive position. “That's right, my child. Although not in the form you see now.”Lin Fengtian looked from his mother to the Compiler, then to Elder Yi who stood rigid with a calculative expression on his face. “No way... how could that be...?”“Twenty-seven years ago,” Mei Ling began, her voice clear as morning dew after a long sleep, ”I was a young cultivator under Elder Yi's guidance. I had a natural resonance talent, but it was not strong enough to become a vessel. My duty is to be the guardian of the artifacts in the Temple

  • The Gate of Eternity Curse of Heaven   TRACES OF NOTHINGNESS

    The transformed fragments of reality sparkled like crystals around Lin Fengtian, forming a new dimensional formation that had never existed before. The Resonance Dimension had transformed into something that could no longer be defined with the old vocabulary. Its cosmic architecture now resembled a complex network that was constantly moving, evolving, and reflecting a new state of collective consciousness.Lin Fengtian hovered at the center of this transformative masterpiece, his body radiating a harmonious light that was a perfect blend of the four essences-white of the Architect, golden of the Balancer, silvery of the Constructor, and shimmering transparent of the Key of Truth that his mother had passed down.“Incredible,” Mei Ling whispered, her brown eyes reflecting a spectrum of colors that no dimension had ever seen. “You've brought the universe to a whole new level of consciousness.”Lin Fengtian nodded slowly, the four essences surging beneath the surface of his skin like a si

  • The Gate of Eternity Curse of Heaven   ARCHIVES OF ETERNITY

    The Library of Reality unfolded before Lin Fengtian like an endless maze of shelves that reached impossible heights. The lighting came from colorful balls of energy floating freely in the air, moving in seemingly random yet harmonious patterns. The atmosphere is heavy with knowledge and stories-as if the air itself has a consciousness.“All possible and impossible stories, all realities that exist and those that never materialized, are all stored here,” the Storyteller explained, walking beside Lin Fengtian with a light step that contrasted with his aged appearance.Lin Fengtian scanned the books, scrolls, and strange artifacts lining the shelves. Some emitted energies that he recognized-white from the Architect, golden from the Balancer, silvery from the Compiler, even emptiness from the Weaver. But most emitted energies and colors that were completely foreign to him.“How can all this... exist?” Lin Fengtian asked, his voice echoing in a room that seemed not to be bound by normal ac

  • The Gate of Eternity Curse of Heaven   CROSS-DIMENSIONAL RESONANCE

    That night, as the narrator sat on the veranda of his mother's house-a house that now looked simple but also contained hidden dimensions that only he could see-he felt a subtle vibration in the narrative structure. Like strings plucked in the distance, it carried a message that only her meta-narrative consciousness could perceive.“Something is not right,” he whispered to himself, his multi-dimensional eyes gazing up at the night sky that now seemed deeper, richer with overlapping layers of reality.Three days had passed since his return. Three days spent recounting his journey to Mei Ling-or at least, the version that ordinary humans could understand. Three days spent familiarizing himself with his new dual identity, as both Lin Fengtian and the Witcher.But now, in the quiet of the night, that unfamiliar resonance disturbed him. He closed his eyes, activated his sixth essence-the meta-narrative essence-and let his consciousness traverse the layers of reality, searching for the sourc

  • THE TURN OF THE SCRIPT

    After the transformation of Who Writes the Unwritten, silence floated in the space between narratives. Li-formerly known as Lin-stood amidst a constellation of points of light, sensing a fundamental change in the structure of reality. However, deep within him, a faint uneasiness began to grow.Lin Fengtian opened his eyes with a jerk, his breath hunting in the cold morning air. It was that dream again-the same vision that had haunted him for weeks. In his dreams, he was always someone called “Li,” an entity facing off against a primordial force called the One Who Writes the Unwritten.He rose from the bed, his sleeping robe feeling cold against his skin. His luxurious apartment in the Silver Dragon Tower-the tallest building in Yueshan City-offered a panoramic view of the city waking up under the tinge of dawn. But this morning, even that beauty could not chase away her restlessness.“Who is Li?” she whispered to herself, the same question she had asked hundreds of times. “And why doe

  • SHEET MUSIC CHANGE

    “Why?” The Questioner repeats Lin's question in a voice that echoes in the infinite white space. “This is the question that got me banished from the narrative. A question too dangerous to answer.”Lin stared at the multi-cycle cosmic model still hovering between them-a constellation of points of light that each represented one complete meta-narrative cycle. Each dot contained trillions of individual narratives, billions of characters, countless numbers of conflicts and resolutions.“And now?” Lin asked, her dual consciousness resonating with waves of increasingly fundamental questions. “Are you going to answer it?”The Questioner scrutinized Lin with an intensity that felt like physical pressure. The contours of his face changed, sometimes looking like a mask of tragedy, sometimes like a mask of comedy, but always with a questioning expression.“You may be the only entity that can understand the answer,” he finally said. “Because you yourself are a paradox-two becoming one without los

  • A PARADOX THAT WRITES ITSELF

    Silence fell over the septagon after Lin's statement. The Guardians stared at each other, their meta-narrative forms quivering in a restlessness never seen before. The Storyteller was the first to step forward, the ink that formed his figure rippling like a restless sea.“The end of all narratives,” he repeated Lin's words in a voice that sounded like burning sheets. “How can a narrative have an end? Narrative is an infinite process, an endless circle of creation and interpretation.”Lin shook her head slowly. His eyes now had a different depth-like a well whose bottom was invisible, reflecting the knowledge he had brought back from the ground zero of narrative existence.“That's what we've always believed,” Lin replied, her voice still carrying the double resonance of her paradoxical duality. “But what I see shows a different truth.”He stepped into the center of the obsidian pattern, raising his hand. From his fingers, streams of golden energy flowed to form projections-not images o

  • RESONANCE DISCORDANCE

    Light. Blinding light. Then deep darkness.Lin lay on the cold, hard floor-no longer the absolute nothingness where she last met the Connector. Her eyes opened slowly, adjusting to the dim light that came from nowhere. His body felt different - denser yet lighter, as if mass and energy had reached a new balance within him.“Reintegration complete,” she whispered to herself, but her voice sounded like a small orchestra-several different notes resonating in almost perfect harmony.Lin got up, looking around. She was in a room she'd never seen before-not a room in the Library she was familiar with. The walls seemed to be made of solid light that flowed like a slow waterfall, displaying fragments of a narrative that moved constantly in unpredictable yet somehow familiar patterns.“Library?” Lin called out, feeling the building's conscious presence-but the response was different, deeper, more complex than she had ever felt before.We're here, a voice-no, many voices-answered in her mind. B

  • INTERDIMENSIONAL ENIGMA

    Lin awoke with a sharp jolt, cold sweat beading on her forehead. His private room in the Library's east tower felt even more cramped than usual, its walls seeming to breathe with a rhythm out of sync with his own breathing. It had been three months since the incident with the Liaison, but the dreams had not stopped-fragments of consciousness that were not fully his.She rose slowly, her bare feet touching the marble floor that should have been cold, but now felt warm and slightly shaky.“Library,” Lin whispered, ”you feel it too, don't you?”There was no verbal reply, but Lin felt a wave of understanding flowing around him-a wordless confirmation of a meta-narrative structure that now had a consciousness of its own.Standing in front of the tall window, Lin observed the ever-changing panorama outside the Library. Today, the sky was purplish in color with two twin suns dancing in a complex orbit. This scene did not belong to any world he had ever known-it was a visual manifestation of

  • FRAGMENTED REFLECTION

    Lin stared at the figure before her with a mixture of shock and recognition. This was her, yet it wasn't-like looking into a mirror that showed what could be, not what actually was."You were wrong." Lin finally said, her voice calm despite her racing heart. "I didn't come to take you home."The figure-the distorted reflection of Lin-Penarasik-tilted its head with a movement too sharp, too broken to be human. The abstract half of its face turned into an expression resembling confusion."Then what did you come for? To destroy me?" Her voice trembled with emotions too intense-too pure-to be contained by the structure of reality around them. The library floor made of book pages undulated more violently."No," Lin stepped forward, her hands raised in a gesture of peace. "I've come to understand.""LIAR!" the figure shouted, his voice now like an orchestra on the wrong note, making the bookshelves around them shake violently, some books falling like a shower of paper. "You've come to stop

  • PARADOXICAL ENCOUNTERS

    Three months have passed since the cosmic transformation that changed the very nature of narrative itself. Lin-Penarasik-not quite human, not quite meta-narrative-has returned to semi-normal life in Beijing. His small apartment in the Haidian district is now filled with books he never owned before - ancient texts on philosophical paradoxes, old manuscripts on Tibetan cosmology, and contemporary journals on quantum physics.Every morning, he would sit on the balcony of his apartment with a cup of pu'er tea, gazing at the city moving below him while feeling the subtle vibrations of reality that were now visible to him-layers of overlapping narratives, stories that intersected without colliding, small paradoxes that maintained stability in chaos.This morning was different. Lin sensed something-subtle waves in the fabric of reality, like seismic vibrations too weak to be detected by ordinary instruments but strong enough to be felt by her paradoxical consciousness."Something's coming,"

  • PARADOXICAL RESONANCE

    The touch between the Writer and the Meta-Writer creates a phenomenon that cannot be explained by any language-neither existing nor imaginable. Not light, not sound, not vibration, but a kind of fundamental reorganization of meaning itself. Like the entire vocabulary of existence is being rearranged in a new, previously unimaginable order.As the two touch, the Storyteller watches with widened eyes as the space around them turns into a blank canvas-not white or black, but an existence without attributes, waiting to be redefined.Then, with the blink of an eye, everything returns to normal. Mei Ling's home was restored, the fluctuations in reality ceased, and the narrative structure seemed to stabilize again. But something was different-something fundamental.“What just happened?” The Storyteller asked, staring alternately between the Storyteller and the figure that had been the Meta-Writer.Mei Ling's figure now stood with a different posture-more upright, more graceful, her eyes radi
