Reality's Beholder

Elder_Spectre
A lone figure, draped in a cloak woven from the threads of possibility, extended a hand toward the void. Where fingers brushed the air, the fabric of reality trembled, bending to an unseen will. The fabrics rose and crumbled in an instant, space and time rewound their course, and stars flared into being before collapsing into nothingness. This was not magic, nor was it divine intervention—it was the will of the Beholder. The Beholder’s breath was steady, but their mind a storm. With every shift in reality, memories flickered in and out of existence. A name lost. A face forgotten. They had shaped worlds, rewritten destinies, but now, the price of power gnawed at the edges of their soul. From the distance, beyond the undulating horizon where time held no meaning, a presence stirred. A ripple of something greater—something ancient and watchful. A voice, neither spoken nor heard, resonated in the Beholder’s mind. *You meddle where none should tread. The Balance must be upheld.* The Beholder’s lips curled into a bitter smile. “Balance is but an illusion,” they whispered, and with a mere thought, the sky shattered into a thousand reflections of possibility.

Superpower Investigation Team

The Superpower Investigation Team is a science fiction and suspense novel that centers around superpowered individuals and unfolds around global crises. The story is set in a near-future world where governments of various countries secretly established organizations of superpowered individuals to deal with special incidents. Through multi-linear narrative, the novel weaves together the grand themes of individual fates and the survival of the Earth, with a compact plot full of suspense. Background and Beginning In the near future, due to the frequent occurrence of supernatural phenomena on Earth, countries established secret organizations to manage superpowered individuals. For example, China's "Special Incident Response Department" (abbreviated as "SIRD"). However, the sudden actions of the mysterious organization "Ace" shattered the balance. They assembled top combat forces at the Eye of the Sahara (a geological wonder in the Sahara Desert) and publicly issued a provocation to the global superpower community, claiming to possess the secret that could subvert human civilization. At the same time, the consciousness of the Earth (the personified will of the Earth) issued a prophecy to the protagonist, Lei Ting, stating that the Eye of the Sahara was the "Land of Destiny" and that he must go there to deal with the crisis. Main Characters and Conflicts 1. Lei Ting: Once a top agent of the SIRD, he retired due to differences in ideology and was later chosen by the consciousness of the Earth to be a key figure. He has the ability to manipulate electromagnetic force but is forced to be involved in the incident due to the troubles of his prophetic dreams. 2. Chen Xichen: The only superpowered individual in China at the "Top Transcendent" realm. After retirement, he was urgently recalled and led the international joint investigation team to confront "Ace". He represents the game between traditional power and emerging crises. 3. The "Ace" Organization: The members are code-named with letters (such as K, Q). Its leader, K, colludes with external forces and attempts to use the energy of the Eye of the Sahara to achieve "dimensional transition", but the true purpose remains elusive. 4. The Consciousness of the Earth: Appearing in the image of a young girl, it endows some superpowered individuals with special abilities (such as Corimlan's "Nature Regulation"). However, its stance is ambiguous, as it both protects humanity and manipulates fate.

Bleach: Watch Closely, This Is How You Use a Zanpakutō

In the Central 46 Compound, the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13 and the notorious scourge of the Female Shinigami Association, Masatsuki Aozaki, stood before the Sages and Judges. “You have improper relationships with numerous members, Seated Officers, and Captains of the Seireitei?” “As Captain-Commander, maintaining close relationships with them helps facilitate my work.” “...” The Judge narrowed his eyes. “Then how do you explain modifying the female Shinigami's Shihakushō into miniskirts?” “To transform the Seireitei into a perfect paradise.” “Tsk tsk… A paradise for all Shinigami? That’s not entirely unreasonable…” “No, a personal paradise.” “A private—wait! Captain-Commander Masatsuki, that kind of thinking is clearly wrong!” “Do you want to die?” “...” “Forget it, Captain-Commander Masatsuki. We’ll set this matter aside for now. Let’s discuss some of the outrageous statements you’ve made in the past. Those were jokes, right?” “No, I was completely serious.” Masatsuki calmly ran his hand along the hilt of his Zanpakutō and spoke with conviction. “I have a great relationship with my subordinates, I get along well with Hueco Mundo, and I’m even friends with all of your wives and girlfriends. But rest assured, I’m a good Shinigami. You can safely leave the world in my hands!” Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto: That damn brat! Shunsui, Jūshirō, don’t stop me—I need to teach him a lesson! Thus begins the tale of the most incorrigible Shinigami!

Loving Madeline

Madeline “Maddie” Brownwood is a nineteen-year-old college student juggling part-time jobs and the weight of unpaid debts. After losing her mother to illness, she lives with her aunt. That is, until the day a mysterious man appears, turning her world upside down with a shocking request to come with him to the Divenson Mansion and prepare for her wedding. Hunter Divenson, the enigmatic and strikingly handsome CEO of Divenson Mining Corporation, is a brilliant engineer—and a man who always honors his promises. When his longtime driver dies tragically in a car crash caused by a drunk driver, Hunter is left with the man’s final wish: to take responsibility for his estranged daughter, Madeline, by marrying her. Left with no other choice, Maddie is swept away to the world of the elite—a world she doesn’t belong to. At the Divenson mansion, she is met not with kindness, but cold, judgmental stares from Hunter’s parents, who make it clear she is not welcome. Her future sister-in-law despises her. Her future brother-in-law’s eyes make her skin crawl. The only warmth she finds comes from a sweet twelve-year-old girl in the household who clings to Maddie like a little sister and makes the overwhelming luxury a little more bearable. Then she meets Hunter. He’s everything she didn’t expect—charming in front of others, but distant and cold when they are alone. Maddie falls for him despite herself. How could she not? His presence commands attention, and his rare moments of gentleness feel like stolen sunshine. But her heart shattered when he told her the reason for their marriage. “We’re married on paper, nothing more. I don’t have time for love. And I can’t love someone like you. Don’t expect that just because we are married, I’ll ever love you. All I need is an heir to my empire.” The words cut deeper than she thought possible. Maddie was humiliated, heartbroken, and trapped. And she made a decision to divorce her husband. But her request jolts something inside Hunter he didn’t know he could feel, the fear of losing her. As she begins pulling away from him, he realizes the truth he’d been too blind to see: he loves his wife. Can Hunter win back the woman he once dismissed? Has Maddie’s love for him truly faded or is she simply trying to forget what she can’t let go? Will she give her cold, distant husband one last chance or walk away from the only man who ever made her feel something real?
