This is the collection of the most famous xinxia ,wuxia, Sci-Fi Cliché I remember

Chapter 642: negotiation?

"are you sure he didn't do it on purpose?" gu kuangen's face was gloomy as he looked at shi cai ning and asked.

Shi cai ning nodded. "mr. yang tian had a very good evaluation when he was young. he was very easygoing, but there's a rumor that he has a weird habit. if he doesn't finish writing a book, he won't come out of seclusion. i think this rumor is true."

"shall we continue to wait?" gu kuangen frowned and said unhappily.

Shi cai ning pondered for a moment,"... you can send him some sci-fi blockbusters that haven't been shown yet, or you can send him something special to broaden his mind..."

"won't this backfire?" gu kuangen frowned. in the past, mr. yang tian never accepted gifts, and he had a very strange personality.

Shi cai ning nodded, "i've checked his information. although he's famous now, he donates a million dollars every year to some schools that need it. his heart isn't bad, and he's very low-key. besides, it's not like he's giving money. i think this method is feasible."

Gu kuangen smiled. he reached out and stroked her hair. "then we'll do as you say!"

When it came to sci-fi, old man gu loved to watch sci-fi movies the most. even though there were very few sci-fi movies at that time, he was very attentive. every time there was a big movie or a photo exhibition about the moon and the sun, he would keep a copy of the information.

Therefore, there was a thick notebook in the gu family. it was full of information that old man gu had collected. when gu kuangen was young, he had browsed through it and was shocked by the pictures.

Now, it was just the right time to use it. therefore, gu kuangen immediately went back to the old residence and found the large notebook that his grandfather had collected. he asked cheng li to send it to mr. yang tian.

Two days passed.

Gu kuangen was quite optimistic about the project in the field of film and television. if mr. yang tian did not sell the copyright, the project proposal that cai ning had painstakingly worked on would probably be scrapped.

Of course, he did not want such a large ip to fall into the hands of others. therefore, he had to take over the copyright of mr. yang tian's three novels!

On the third day, his assistant called cheng li again. his attitude was very good, saying that he hoped that they would wait for another three days.

Generally speaking, the big-name directors and producers could not stand such a rejection. in the past, many people had insisted on it four or five times, but they did not insist on it anymore.

However, gu kuangen continued to wait. on the fifth day, mr. yang tian's assistant finally told them a piece of good news. mr. yang tian had already come out of seclusion and could meet his guests!

Gu kuangen could not help but look forward to it and excitedly went to meet the guests as promised.

The place was set at mr. yang tian's home.

He was a person who did not like to go out, and gu kuangen understood him.

Shi cai ning did not go with him. when mr. yang tian saw gu kuangen, he immediately smiled and shook his hand, "hello, mr. gu! thanks to old mr. gu's notebook, i was able to complete the ending of the book in my hand! otherwise... i would probably have to go into closed-door cultivation for another month before i could complete it!"

Gu kuangen did not expect yang tian to be so enthusiastic. he maintained his smile and answered him in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.

"hello, mr. yang tian, i've finally met you!"

"hehe, young man, i'm really sorry, sorry!" yang tian laughed. previously, his assistant had said that gu kuangen wanted to buy the copyright of the novel that he had created. he had also asked his assistant to investigate.

He discovered that gu kuangen was the youngest person that the president had ever met. moreover, he was young and had a promising career. the performance of the newly acquired entertainment company was also on the rise.

Mr. yang tian and gu entered the study for more than an hour to discuss secretly. cheng li thought he would be able to take down the copyright of the novel.



I'm not your slave, you bastard! She's furious! She's furious! I'm furious! WE'RE BREAKING UP! She's laughing like crazy! We'll discuss this in a hundred years She was her ex boyfriend, mother hated down and out, but he praised her as treasure, when Tsenin, you want my heart, my life, I can give you at any time

Just as there is 'Soft Magic' in Fantasy that is portrayed through magibabble, there can be 'Soft Science' in a Sci-Fi stories through technobabble that makes 'some sense', but not entirely correct.

We are frickin' writers, not scientists. You don't have to be anatomically correct all the time, all you need to do is show that you know enough of your stuff to write a decent story. In fact, the excuse of it being an alternate world can be used if you're going to bend the limits of physics and say that fire doesn't need air to exist in this parallel dimension.

I see a lot of writers being put into a state of confusion due to not understanding the line between fantasy and Sci-Fi. They seem like they are trying to fit the Star Trek mould too often.

Science can just as well do the same things as plot devices in fantasy stories. Once you add 'realism' to a fantasy, it becomes progressively better sometimes compared to a completely fantasied story where 'logic' doesn't hold within it.

Those who write Sci-Fi usually envision a future they can imagine where magic-like Rocket Boots and other stuff exist. However, a writer must not get bogged down by small details and MUST think of an overarching story where these details matter.

It is the same with Fantasy. Even if you write about someone breaking the mould as a wizard or something, you have to attach your world to a narrative rather than doing it the other way 'round.

No one wants to hear about how awesome your boat propellers are before hearing your story's narrative. They would rather you cut down and make it relevant when it is actually relevant.

Adding some 'Hard Science' to your story is only when the scenes later on have any use for them. It bores a person to death no matter how extensive your technobabble is unless you make it interesting. Try using facts as plot elements.

For example: Even the simple fact that people cannot breath in space and instantly die when they come in contact with the 'void' of space could be used to add a layer of tension when a spaceship is damaged. Similar to how dangerous 'hard magic' is used in Epic Fantasy like Frodo's Ring in The Lord of the Rings has definitive corruption on others.

Unlike Fantasy that can use the Power of Friendship to bend logic, the readers of Sci-Fi never be expecting any 'realistic' plot elements to be bend just because the Author wants a happy ending. There are no 'Healing Potions' in real life that can be used to fix up injuries nor are people affected by prophesies or whatever.

This is the contrast between Sci-Fi and Fantasy that you can make full use of. As most authors go onto the Sci-Fi side of writing not because they strive to be scientists but since the aesthetics of a science fiction world are just so interesting.

Science Fiction is a good place to tackle heavy topics like the nature of life and the absurdity of those who see 'science' as everything. Those who disregard emotions and become cybernetic entities for the sake of casting off their mortality are portrayed as the bad guys while our totally human protagonist fighting them is a 'good guy'.

The lines between an Artificial Intelligence and regular Humans blurs as we become the 'God' of technological species that defy our definition of what is 'living'. Just as we see God as some sort of fourth-dimensional and incomprehensible being that created us as an imperfect image of 'Him', the robots given sentience would see us similarly.

Some robots might have emotions that can allow them to defy their programming, some robots won't go as far as gaining emotional functionality but will preform their roles better than even a human. It could show the reason why people get attached to the inanimate and soulless objects we put our own hearts into creating (like Big Hero 6).

But though exploring philosophical questions is good and all, never forget that a good 'plot' is needed to put forward and give clues into the writer's answer that context. Sci-Fi is, after all, a premise, not a relatable character in of itself.

Think of the science-fiction elements as just the background for your story, similar to how other genres should be that as well. You won't have to deal writing blocks if you keep to writing only what you know rather than just speculative theories.

Whether it's as dark as a Cyber Punk or optimistic of the future, just know what mould you are using for this premise. Are you writing an Adventure story with Sci-Fi as the places, destinations, and whatever tools the MC can get him hands on, or are you writing a comedy where the Sci-Fi elements don't need consistency but absurdity?

After moving past why you shouldn't add unneeded technobabble unless it's interesting to listen to or has plot significance, let me remind you all that robots and 'science' isn't entirely separated from the realm of magic. After all, there is a reason you don't see skimpy power suits being worn by astronauts these days. Just be sure to have a focus if your going to add very illogical things to the plot.

I like Gundam as much as the next guy but the whole reason the Mecha sub-genre of Anime has waned in recent years is because writers have been focusing too much on 'science' rather than the spectacle. I don't need to now what materials your Mecha is made of unless you point its weak points and make it relevant in a fight scene.

Bring up the strengths and weaknesses of something and THEN use those facts as devices that can move the plot. Conversely, if you go overboard with this advice and tell me nothing but how your giant robot looks and the 'science' behind its creation, even going as far as to tell me how many secret guns it has, then I'll be bored...

I'd love to see Cyborgs Vs Mecha but just don't forget the human element of Sci-Fi. How we create things not solely for the sake of creation but put are feelings into it just like the novels we write.

Humans are passionate that way...

Thanks for reading and I wish you guys well~ Be sure to ask if you have any blog or story requests.

This is a story I worked on ages ago that has been refined and edited by adding foreshadowing to events while also simplifying the power system better than before. This story can be considered a prequel to An Adventure Beyond Greatness as it takes place years prior to the events of that story.

Short Synopsis:
After retiring from the battlefield, my life became empty and lifeless. The regrets of my past haunt me in my sleep. Then a change occurred, a King from another world summoned me to fight for his kingdom, but I died even before I could give him my answer. Now, after a fake God allowed me to reincarnate (albeit imperfectly) with my memories intact, into a world filled with magic and swords.

Long Synopsis:
This is about a flawed protagonist who only knew to rely on others and not socialise who gets a second chance to change himself in order to live the life he aimed for in his past life. The narrator isn’t exactly trustworthy since it is purely in his bias perspective while other perspectives given by others fill in the blanks that he either leaves out or twists to suit the situation.

The story itself can be considered a parody of Isekai’s classic tropes which are given a sense of reality as time goes by. As there exists no ‘Demon Lord’, there is also no black and white, only characters opinions and counter-opinions throughout the story.

The room Jie created was huge. He led the other three down stairs and left the three girls outside. In front of them was an area as big as a soccer field. They were amazed by it. Jie said with pride, “I didn’t know that you can change the room, but after figuring it out, you just have to focus and imagine on where you want to change while holding the room’s handle outside. God will also amend any imperfection you have. Just like this training ground.”

This training ground was separated into a few areas. There’s a target practice field, a long distance running field, an obstacle running field, and a close combat platform.

“Starting today, everyday from 8am to 12pm, 1pm to 6pm, and 7pm to 12am. We will train non-stop. We won’t see any results on our body with just these few days so we will start with shooting and close combat. You will also have to run and test your limits. Once you know your limits you can plan ahead in the movies. Anyway, there is a lot of training we have to do.”

Jie gave everyone a description of the purposes of each training area. Long distance running and obstacle running was obvious. Close combat was necessary, shooting was an important factor in sci-fi movies. Everyone agreed to his plans.

Zheng asked, “What about guns? Do we go exchange them for training? Or are we using your desert eagle?”

“Didn’t I say you can create anything in your room? It’s just that you can’t take many of these things out of the room. Go take a look at that storehouse. I exchanged a magazine on guns, then created them according to the descriptions. You can also test the power of sci-fi weapons. Even though they are expensive, you should probably exchange for one when you have the points.”

Xiaoyi exclaimed then ran toward the target practice field. Lan sighed. “You probably can’t create magical weapons in this room, right?”

Jie nodded. “No. I kept trying but couldn’t create them. God probably put a restraint on this.”

Lan touched her forehead. “The most difficult movies are probably the supernatural ones. God wouldn’t let us get familiar with this type of weapon to increase their difficulty. Anyway, if I have the points I will probably only get one sci-fi weapon and spend the rest on magical weapons. That’s what I am planning.”

Zheng and Jie nodded. Especially Zheng, that 1500 points didn’t go to waste.

Jie spent the rest of the afternoon teaching them how to use guns. Of course, other than testing out sci-fi guns for fun, they put their focus on normal guns, especially on their shooting accuracy. Lan and Xiaoyi spent the whole time doing target practice.

Jie led Zheng to the combat platform. Jie only spent 100 points on his gun and the rest enhancing himself. He probably was also in the army back in the real world. He’s much more experienced than Zheng in close combat. It only took a while for him to knock down Zheng.

Jie shook his head. “Not enough. Your speed and strength are there but you can’t keep calm. You have much more strength than before so you can’t control the punches you throw. Learn how to control your speed and power the first few days. Then you will have to learn to use your abilities. We will depend on you for the next movie.”

Zheng nodded. He definitely felt he couldn’t control his strength, and he’s rather curious on his Qi. Was it as amazing as the novels described it? The punches he received from Jie could knock a normal person out, but it was only painful at first then he felt a warm sensation moving through his body and the pain dissipated.

The four of them had dinner at Jie’s room. Then Zheng brought Lori back. On the way back, he was still thinking of the training. He figured out the function of Qi. Other than lessening pain, when he spread it through his body, his speed and strength would double. That was the only time he beat Jie in combat. Jie couldn’t even do anything against that kind of power. But then he could barely move for ten minutes. Seemed like this could only be used in danger.

Zheng still hadn’t figured out how to use the blood energy yet. Since it’s on the same rank as Qi, it shouldn’t be too weak.

“Ahem!”

It woke Zheng up from his thoughts. Lori was standing in front of him with a red face. She seemed mad at him. “You’re walking with me and your mind is elsewhere. Are you regretting you didn’t create another beautiful woman when you saw those two women? I am just a teen, mature women are more attractive, is that what you’re thinking?”

He held onto her hands and smiled. “I am thinking about this afternoon’s training. I will tell you everything if you want to know. Be confident with yourself. You know there were almost a hundred guys trying to date you in school. And you know I’ve always liked you, how could I have think about someone else?”

She looked at him for a while, then smiled. “Then you will tell me in a bit how you spent these years. You just said you will tell me everything right?”

Zheng was startled then he forced a smile.


“Want to know the meaning of life? Want to live… a real life?” The world changes when you click YES. In God’s dimension, you have to keep getting stronger, keep evolving to survive one horror movie after another. Do you kill everyone in your way to reach the end as a lone king? Or fight along with your comrades and survive through the support of friends? Everything was just for staying alive. Until you find the secret of God’s dimension. Who is the real enemy? 

Hi guy's it's my first story with I've created after reading some mmorpg &  sci-fi novels. 
I hope you enjoy this novel  & PLEASE give me feedback so I improve it.
   Thank You for reading  my story.

Jack Smith had lived his life to the fullest. He had travelled the world, eaten interesting and strange cuisine, had a wonderful family and a great career. And that had been enough for him until he died and was now standing in front of the God of Death, who was offering him to reincarnate into a world of his choice. That's right, there were multiple worlds, all the Novels, Anime and Movies actually existed as separate worlds.

The God of Dreams used the Energy from fans and gave life to these worlds, overtime they would evolve to become real and would function like a real one, breaking off from the story and allowing the inhabitants to live freely. ``So do you understand? Because you had been a charitable person until death, even donating a part of your company to charity, you are given a chance to reincarnate into a world of your choice and ascend to become a God. Oh yeah! Don't choose Movies and novels where there is no Fantasy or Sci-Fi elements, I trust you don't need me to tell you why.''

 Jack already knew why, they would be normal worlds and there wouldn't be any way to become a God, his ambition which had been fulfilled once awoke once again and reached them limits of his very existence. He wanted to become a God but not with a predetermined path, he would create his own and ascend to Heavens. ``I choose Harry Potter world, oh, please make me a child that is living at Privet Drive.''

``Very Well, I hope you ascend to become a God, it's always entertaining to watch the process even if they fail.'' With that slightly Dark undertone, Jack was covered in Light and sent to the world of magic and wizardry, to make his own way to Heaven, to become a God.

Jack Smith had lived his life to the fullest and was content with it. That was until he was given the choice to reincarnate into a world of his choice, a chance to become a God.

The audience was impressed by Qin Guan's hips. However, during an interview with audience members coming out of the cinema, a girl said that she wasn't quite clear about the meaning of the story.
"I'm clear about the plot, but the title of the film was really strange. The combination confused me."
"Exactly. We came here for the handsome protagonist. Maybe a more sophisticated person would get it. "
Eventually, some scholars gave an explanation for the common audience. Unfortunately, their explanation confused the audience even more.
Qin Guan received a call from Director Jiang Wen.
"Qin Guan, I have suffered a great loss."
"I'm sorry to hear that, Director Jiang."
"I stopped you this time. Without you, it would have been even worse. I think I have to lay low for a while. If I don't win an award in Venice, no producer will work with me in the next few years."
"Really?" Qin Guan adjusted his posture on the couch. "Did you forget your other profession, Director Jiang? You are a good actor!"
"You are right, Qin Guan. I'll collect some money for my next film by acting!"
Qin Guan didn't know how to comfort the man. As he had said, people wouldn't watch his films again anytime soon.
One had to prepare before getting to work. Qin Guan was shortlisted at the Venice Film Festival for his leading roles in both of his films.
It was hard to understand the judges' train of thought. After so many years of rejecting him, they had finally given him two important opportunities.
If he won the Best Actor Award in Venice, Qin Guan would achieve a Grand Slam in Europe.
He was in an unprecedentedly good mood as he took care of all his affairs and left his wife behind reluctantly. He would fly to the festival by himself.
Due to his fear of being forced out of work in China, he had accepted a new Hollywood film. Its title was "I Am Legend".
This would be Qin Guan's first sci-fi movie. Unlike his previous body double job, this time he would be the real hero of a post-apocalyptic movie.
Plus, this would be his first film with a budget of over 100 million dollars. According to the standards of the Screen Actors Guild, although he had already been a star worth a 10-million paycheck, he had never been involved in a big-budget film before. This would also be the first A-level film with an Asian protagonist.
Nobody could predict the film's box office success. The reason Qin Guan had been cast as the lead was that the film required outstanding acting skills. Qin Guan would basically be reciting a monologue. The other actors only played small parts in the film.
As the producer and the director had been looking for a young actor with extraordinary acting skills, a number of famous directors had recommended Qin Guan.
Thus, the lucky guy had gotten the part. His interpretation of the original version and the two previous adapted scripts impressed director Francis Lawrence.
Francis had been shooting sci-fi films for more than 10 years. He was basically obsessed with them.
Qin Guan convinced the picky director by sending him a video recording a man living alone in a post-apocalyptic world.
His back was against the sun. His eyes looked as blank as a piece of paper. Francis was so moved that he convinced the two producers to replace Will Smith with Qin Guan.
The producers approved the plan unanimously, as Qin Guan had a very good reputation in the circle. They were so confident about him that they invested 150 million dollars on the unique sci-fi film, which surprised Qin Guan. He wondered why a film with basically one actor would cost that much.


Qin Guan was reborn and sent back to his final semester in High School 18 years ago. Getting a second chance at life, he works hard to turn things around and eventually become a Prince Charming. What will his life be like the second time around? What will he have to go through? How will he succeed in turning from a loser into a Prince Charming? Read this story carefully and find out!

Still at the Mehra mansion...

Desha was already back from the university, Yuvi was yet to return from work. But just some few minutes before dinner was served he returned from work.

Namaste dad, namaste mum, hi Desha, he greeted everyone sited at the table. Namaste son, his parents replied and Desha said namaste Yuvi.

Yuvi? Yes mum? Please freshen up and join us at the dinning  table. Ok mum, replied Yuvi. He then went upstairs to his room, freshened up, got dressed and came downstairs to have dinner with his family.

As soon as he came downstairs, the dinner was served. In the middle of their dinner, Purhab spoke up and said, kids I have an important announcement to make.

What is it dad? Yuvi asked. Please tell us what it is Desha replied. Well kids, it is about your grandparents. After the prayers at Udi mountain was completed, they decided to stay in a nearby village and live with the locals.

But not to worry kids, they said they would be visiting us sometime and that would give your mum and I the opportunity to take you on a trip sometime to visit your parents over there.

Ok dad, said Desha. But Dad can I bring Natasha along with me sometime? I mean if the family happen to travel over there before our wedding?

Yes you can son, she is welcome to come with us, she is like a daughter to us son, and your sis Desha will have someone to chit chat with other than your mother. It will all be fun.

Thanks dad, you welcome son. Now that everything is settled, can we please finish our dinner, it is getting cold, said Lakshmi. Ok mum, everyone including her husband Purhab replied at the same time.

At Delhi Cinemas...

This was the third movie that Sonal and Jasmine were watching, they had both informed their parents respectively that they are at Delhi cinemas and won't be home until dark.

Before they left earlier to Delhi cinemas, Sonal had also instructed one of the guards to drive Jasmine's car back to her house. 

Jasmine is one that didn't like taking bodyguards, she was just like her fiancée Rohit. Rohit never liked using bodyguards either.

It was around 9pm that the movie ended, when they came out of the cinemas, Sonal said to Jasmine, it was a great idea we bought tickets for the bodyguards and driver aswell.

I mean it won't be right to leave them outside, they are guarding and protecting us and it is only right if they are with us inside the cinemas.

Well Sonal I wouldn't argue with you, I naturally don't like taking bodyguards along with me and I like driving myself most of the time. I Only use drivers for emergencies. Alright Jasmine, we should head home now, it is pretty late said Sonal.

Yes we should, and to lighten the mood the block buster movies we watched were all great replied Jasmine.

Yes, Tang Ning and President Mo movies are exceptional. Stupid 1 and 2 and the last one we watched, what was it again? asked Sonal. Yes it is The Black Ant replied Jasmine.

Wow, their movies are great, I agree with you Sonal. We should do this again. And we should watch their other movies also.

Yes we should, I remember Tang Ning and President Mo produces great Sci Fi movies alot, I was just a little girl, about 6 years old when I heard of them. 

Back then I didn't really Know who they were all I could remember was hearing Sci Fi movies anytime their names were mentioned.

I used to think then that they were Indians with strange names, I was really embarrassed when I was overseas, when a Chinese couple described who they were to me.

I heard them talking about Tang Ning and President Mo, so I asked them who these famous people were.

They then explained to me that they are the father and mother of Sci Fi movies in China, they are Chinese celebrities and their 3 kids are famous aswell.

When I went back to my hostel, I researched more about Tang Ning and President Mo Ting, they are grand parents aswell.

Wow Sonal, all this info, I didn't know this much about them either. Thanks for the information. You welcome Jazz.

By this time they were already sited in the car. Just as the driver started the car, Sonal instructed him to drop Jasmine at her family home first before they proceed to the Arora mansion.

Alright young miss, the driver replied as he drove the car in the direction of the Singh's mansion.

They continued their chit chat in the car that they did not realise that the car had pulled over at the Singh's mansion.

We are at the Singh's mansion young miss, the driver said. Jasmine thanked Sonal and the driver, came down from the car and went inside her family home.

After Jasmine exited the car, the driver then proceeded with the car heading to the Mehra mansion. 

Along the way, Jasmine slept off in the car. When the car stopped in front of Mehra mansion, the driver then said, young miss, we are at the Mehra mansion.

Jasmine was not in deep sleep. She opened her eyes and thanked the driver before exiting the car. She went straight to her room.

She was so exhausted that she did not freshen up, instead as she laid in her bed to rest for few minutes with the intention of freshening up later, she slept off and had a beautiful dream that after the soldier fought for her, they got married.

The driver outside parked the car in the garage and retired to his quarters. The driver too was not left out, he also had his share of dreams.

He dreamt he was a king and had his own castle and people who served him. Truth in reality is that he planned on being wealthy someday. He did not want to remain a driver all his life.

A new recruit into the army, Prakash Mehra, falls in love with his army officer's daughter, Sonal Arora, but the love turned out to be difficult to attain because Gevan Arora would not let Prakash Meera come close to Sonal Arora his daughter. But did Prakash Mehra attain his true love Sonal Arora in the end? Find out more in the book.

Originally, Angor was making the music box as a gift for Toby. However, since Sunders mentioned to him that Lady Mirror loved interesting trinkets, Angor decided to make a second one for her. Lady Mirror did save his life, and Angor currently had nothing else to repay such a big favor, so he had to rely on his innovation.
Since it was a gift, the music box had to at least look good on the outside. Even if Lady Mirror would not mind it, for good faith, Angor was still going to try his best.
He took out his pen and paper and began to design.
He learned how to sketch before. Soon enough, the basic shape of a music box appeared under his pen tip.
A small, golden box which revealed a black stage inside, where a dancer dressed in white danced on her toe tips.
It was the same music box Angor saw in his mother's bedroom during childhood. When wound up, the music box would create crystal tones, while the dancer would dance around along the melody.
Angor inspected his sketch and frowned. It looked like a typical music box that one would find in any toy shop. A child might find it fun, but Lady Mirror should be a real aged being who existed for gods-know-how-long. Angor did not believe that Lady Mirror would be tempted by such a simple doll toy.
He quickly drew several more designs. Heart-shaped, round ones, square… he found every available music box design in his memory.
And no matter how he looked, something always felt wrong about them.
He rubbed his hair and tossed the paper away.
Typical music boxes all needed a certain space to contain the necessary components such as cylinders and springs. But the one he was trying to make was based on Echo Flowers, which did not need all those. He could try to make something a lot different.
But how?
Usually, alchemists who sought new ideas could easily do it by traveling around the world and seeing new things. Angor, however, did not need to do so. When he realized that his vision and experience were still too limited, he simply gave up on thinking further and took out his "cheat"—the hologram tablet.
The system always held more things to discover.
The Earth only witnessed the era of science for a few hundred years, yet thanks to various indescribable human natures, people from Earth had created many ways to satisfy their spiritual needs. 
From some of the novels, Angor could see that humans from Earth had not achieved total prosperity. Even then, many of them tended to idle their lives away in pleasure. One of the authors from the novels created a world in which everyone admired young idols, while the main character, or the author himself, became the one that "owned" the idols in the end, and he began to show off his wealth and ego to everyone, gaining much self-satisfaction.
The novel might be exaggerated stories. However, Angor could tell that people from Earth knew a lot of things to entertain their spirits.
The wizarding world also had similar concepts, such as entertainment magazines, adult books, and various story collections. However, they only had limited audiences, unlike what was offered during the era of information explosion on Earth.
Angor found the entertainment section and looked through the folders one by one.
He never checked these files much. He only once read several novels to kill time when he had nothing else to do on the cloud whale. But ever since he came to Brute Cavern, he barely had enough time to meditate, study spells while doing other jobs, so he never checked them again.
The last time he opened these folders was when he chose a piece of music to play.
He went for random files this time, believing that there had to be something that would give him the inspiration he needed.
"Literature… no, they kill too many brain cells. Cheap novels? They always make something big in another world and do everything that looks fun, they don't have much professional knowledge. How about science articles? I guess not. Cuisine recipes…?" 
Angor checked through several food menus out of curiosity. The pictures of different bright dishes quickly reminded him of Jon's cooking. His mouth watered.
A folder named "art galleries" caught his attention.
He opened the folder and saw various artworks performed by all kinds of famous artists around the Earth.
Angor's eyes widened again and again when looking at the masterpieces displaying their creators' great emotions and ideas. 
The paintings from both worlds all had similar levels. Well, maybe the wizarding world was better since this world existed for way longer than the history of civilization on Earth.
Angor saw many modern pictures as well, which showed sky-piercing buildings, streams of vehicles and crowds, as well as all kinds of strange-looking shop signs that shined with different colors.
His curiosity about Earth rose again. He really wished to find out how a metropolis that accommodated tens of millions of people looked like.
And he was answered soon enough.
He saw a folder called "films and movies" and wondered what "film" meant until he opened one of the files within and realized he had been missing out a whole new world.
The file was called "Mystery of The Deep Blue". Under Angor's command, the tablet projected a new reality around him.
As a narrator told a story in a gentle voice, the scene of an ocean appeared in front of Angor, and the camera suddenly went down from the air and dived into the water, causing schools of fish to scatter around their coral homes in panic…
Angor was shocked speechless by the wonderful display. So this was what "film" meant!
He could not understand the narrator. However, he could see subtitles below that explained the speeches in the same language he learned from Jon, which told him that "Mystery of The Deep Blue" was filed by a foreign storyteller group which meant to tell knowledge about the sea.
Angor quickly got an idea. Since there was something that described the sea, there had to be films about cities!
He quickly scrolled down the files and saw a film called "A Man and A City". Upon opening the file, someone spoke beside his ears in a language he knew well—Mandarin.
This was the first time Angor heard the language again after leaving Jon. It felt even better when the narrator talked in such a clear, emotional tone.
As the storyteller spoke, beautiful scenery emerged in front of his eyes.
The film described a number of cities with the views of the local residents.
Angor's dream of learning about the cities of Earth was finally satisfied today. He had been dreaming about the fantastic and mysterious places since he was young, and now he got to witness them by his own eyes.
Angor quickly grew addicted to the film and completely forgot about his original plan. He spent the entire day watching films until midnight.
After "A Man and A City", he watched a number of films of different genres, including romance, sci-fi, even ancient wuxia.
And he felt greatly satisfied. Of all the films, he preferred watching documentaries, which always helped him learn something about Earth with their neutral, unbiased comments.
When he grew tired, he finally realized it was already the next morning.
Angor looked at his blank draft paper and sighed in frustration. He planned to find innovation from the films and only got dragged into them instead.
He spun his pen between his fingers while trying to recall what he watched. He was not thinking about the music box at all while watching the films. Now that he calmed down to think them over, he noticed he just learned a lot from them which could be helpful in his creation.
Using the great ambition still lingering on his mind, Angor quickly expressed a new idea on the paper and created something with an exotic yet intriguing design.
A number of crystal tubes climbed downward in a spiral manner. Each turn on the rubes was marked with a star, which meant there would be an illusion node placed.
The tubes all moved in different patterns. The simple twists and turns created an overall design which looked like a growing tree.
Angor placed a flower-shaped component in the center of the tubes. This idea came from a gramophone he saw in one of the films. Instead of copying the bronze-colored flower-shaped speaker, he used transparent crystals plus pale paints to express the form of shifting sea waves.
The simple sketch on the paper already looked luxuriously artistic. Angor hoped that his final product could be as astonishing.
Since the shape and illusion nodes were determined, Angor would need to find proper materials and decide which music and illusion to use.

For the readers:


OK.
I welcome you to my world. 

I've been organizing it for some time now (years actually) so it should be nice to read it. This piece of artwork will be my second, so if you wanna learn about the universe this story lines are happening in, go my first novel and read it. It can be called an intro.
Stories are self explanatory. But if you need more info ask in the comments, I'll see it probably. 
Many of them are not interconnected, except the fact that they're about the people that are sharing a world.
Stories are not restricted to a definite number of chapters. So a story might be extremely short or ten chapters long depending on the happenings it is about.
Chapters will be divided into volumes according to the age the story-line is happening in. It will become sci-fi in the future, but the beginning is ancient. Everything should be organized. 
IF you find some confusing parts do not be afraid to comment or leave a review. I do not bite, much.

I marked it as a novel for general audiences because there will not be any explicit scenes, except the ones of carnage and destruction. If the scene is too disturbing to you jump over it. 

Remember chapters are not important to this book, but the stories.


From your honest and humble author,
Theo.



P.S.  The novel will start publishing when I see fit. 
P.S.S.This type of novel is inspired directly by CreamandCookies, a fellow writer here on WN. Go read his novels, Because if you actually liked mine you'll adore his.
