Four Split Personalities

Four Split Personalities

Battling an unusual form of personality dissociation, Motan admits to feeling the weight of immense pressure bearing down on him. Amidst this turmoil, he finds solace in a virtual escape called "The Realm of Innocence," a game that has become his sanctuary from stress. In the realm where ambiguity reigns, Motan's behavior is unpredictable and impetuous, making him the instigator and mastermind behind myriad events that spiral out of control. Yet, within the sphere of virtue, his resilience and courage shine through, earning him the admiration of many who see him as the epitome of a righteous knight and a fair judge. When dwelling in the balance of absolute neutrality, he adopts a demeanor of modesty and lethargy, mirroring the ordinary essence of every soul. Conversely, in the domain of chaotic evil, he transforms into a figure of madness and cruelty, embodying the very essence of a demon and deceiver, showing kindness only to himself. "Tan Mo is the most extraordinary Bard I have ever encountered, though he is... perplexing, to say the least," comments Countess Leisha, reflecting on his complex nature. "Mor is a man of distinguished integrity! Having met him just once, I am convinced that he is someone one can confidently turn their back to," declares Gwen, the leader of the Rose Rot, acknowledging his noble character. "If you're in search of the ideal neighbor, look no further than Hei Fan," recommends Alchemist Luna, suggesting his suitability for companionship. Yet, amidst these varied testimonies, a warning resonates, "Don't talk about that man!" indicating a mysterious, perhaps darker aspect of his persona that remains unexplored.

La Renaissance du Dieu Immortel Sans Nom

La Renaissance du Dieu Immortel Sans Nom

``` La Terre a subi un étrange changement. S'étendant des millions de fois sa taille originale, sa population fut soudainement divisée en deux. D'un côté, il y avait un groupe d'humains technologiquement avancés. Mais, de l'autre, un monde de cultivation avait grandi et prospéré. Les secrets ayant mené à ce changement ont été cachés dans l'obscurité depuis bien trop longtemps... Jusqu'au jour où un garçon né du côté Mortel du monde fut découvert comme ayant le talent d'entrer du côté Martial. Ayant perdu ses deux parents face à une marée cachée, il choisit de tout quitter derrière lui pour entrer dans cette terre de dangers. Quelles vérités allait-il dévoiler ? Que découvrirait-il sur ce qui séparait les Mortels des Cultivateurs ? Quels maux cachés voulaient s'assurer que son peuple ne se lève jamais et n'acquiert de pouvoir ? Et comment ces maux... traiteraient-ils de lui ? ---- Cette liste de choses que je hais est plutôt longue. La première est que je hais être mis à l'épreuve plus que tout. La deuxième est que je hais être mis à l'épreuve plus que tout. La troisième est aussi que je hais être mis à l'épreuve plus que tout. Les profondeurs de l'océan sont trop peu profondes, la lumière du soleil trop faible, le sol trop banal et les cieux trop exiguës. Pour ceux nés de ce monde incolore qui se croient dignes de me juger... Je ne peux que dire que c'est risible. Je suis le Dieu Immortel Sans Nom car même les Cieux eux-mêmes ne sont pas dignes de me nommer. Même sans connaître ma propre identité, je dessécherai les océans jusqu'à ce que seule une terre fendue subsiste, je plongerai le soleil dans une obscurité éternelle, je briserai le sol sous mes pieds et fendrai les cieux avec ma lame. Suis-je trop arrogant ? Quel droit as-tu de penser cela ? ---- https://discord.gg/awespec ```

The Shadow of Great Britain

The Shadow of Great Britain

“Next, we have the most noble recipient of the Order of the Garter, the Grand Cross of Saint Michael and Saint George, the Grand Cross of the Bath, the Victoria Cross and the lower grades of Knighthood, the leader of the anti-colonial movement, the bell-ringer of the East India Company, the hero of the Crimean War, a Fellow of the Royal Society, a lifelong dear friend of literary giants such as Dickens and Great Dumas, a steadfast supporter of scientific luminaries like Faraday and Darwin, having served as assistant under-secretary, deputy under-secretary, and permanent under-secretary in departments of the Home Office and the Navy Department of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the inaugural Cabinet Secretary and head of the civil service, the first graduate and most distinguished alumnus of our school. Please welcome Sir Arthur Hastings to deliver a speech on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University of London.” Arthur's gaze swept across the crowd before him, looking at the young faces and murmured, “Agares, what do you think I should say?” The Red Devil's wraith hovered behind him, saliva almost dribbling from the corner of his mouth, “Look at these ignorant souls; they still worship you as a hero. Why not say something they'd like to hear?” Arthur took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar, “Oxford is a bunch of whores' bastards!” “Oh!!!!” The audience erupted into thunderous applause. “Cambridge is the same!” he added immediately. The applause grew even more fervent... (The protagonist, possessed by a devil, travels through 19th-century Britain in a world without magic)

Système d'Évolution du Néant

Système d'Évolution du Néant

Il y a 5 ans, la Terre a été le théâtre d'un événement désormais connu sous le nom de “L'Éveil du Monde”. À ce moment-là, le monde a complètement changé. Le mana s'est réveillé dans le monde, les portails ont commencé à s'ouvrir, et un écran holographique est apparu devant les yeux de chaque humain, qui détaillait leur “statut”. Chaque individu s'est vu attribuer un talent pour commencer, allant de capacités simples comme une vue améliorée à des trucs de fantasy fous comme la pyrokinésie. Et au sein de cette myriade d'abilités, Damien s'est éveillé à une affinité spatiale avec la compétence de “téléportation à courte distance”. Au début, il était excité, pensant à des combats intenses et à acquérir un grand pouvoir, mais la réalité a été rapide à le ramener à la raison. Son habileté ne fonctionnait que dans la zone de 10 mètres autour de lui, et ses statistiques physiques étaient incroyablement faibles, le laissant fatigué après avoir utilisé son pouvoir quelques fois. Désillusionné par sa faiblesse, Damien a vécu une vie tranquille en faisant tout ce qu'il pouvait pour joindre les deux bouts, jusqu'à ce qu'un jour, tout change. Damien a été trahi et jeté dans un portail, laissé pour compte à se défendre seul dans un labyrinthe de bêtes. Quelque chose a craqué en lui ce jour-là. Il refusait de rester faible et de baisser la tête plus longtemps. Lorsqu'il émergea des ténèbres, il se retrouva dans un nouveau monde, sans idée de comment retourner sur Terre. Cependant, il n'était plus le même enfant qu'au moment de sa chute. ===== Discord : https://discord.gg/sEfafFXazb ===== Couverture par Lia.Audelia
