Often, what makes a memorable fiction is not a satisfying ending, an epic battle, or a plot twist, but rather that the story leaves wounds and questions that linger in the hearts of its readers because it resonates with the real world.

December 25, 2025...
Don't forget to breathe. The freezing air might make you forget to breathe.
Pandora's box...
Don't open it!
The box is opened,
And they regret it forever.
Don't eat it!
The red apple is eaten,
And they fall.
Don't look back!
She looks back,
Left behind,
And perishes.
No matter what era or mythology,
Humans repeat the same mistakes.
Pandora's box...
When prohibition sparks curiosity,
And leads to disaster!
Which is better: sacrificing yourself for the world—for strangers who don't even know you and won't remember you—or betraying the world to ensure someone whom you love keeps breathing?
The Author narrates it, the author makes the readers feel it, and the author lets the readers decide for themselves. Fiction offers no simple answers, only moral gray areas.
Over 100+ chapters have been written. 22 chapters have been rewritten. Less than 8-10 chapters left until the epilogue of volume 2. Start the countdown! I hope to finish volume 2 before the new year.
Still battling creative fatigue... today I couldn't even finish writing 1500 words for a chapter.
In the fictional world... heroes save the world with superpowers. In the real world, heroes save many people with courage and reject hatred. Big respect!

You know what the scariest creature is? Not ghosts, not monsters, not gods, but your mother. If she's angry, even a transcendent protagonist will hide under the bed.
The trees were so tall. The sun was covered by the leaves. But I could see between the leaves. Mr Sun was still peeking at me and following me.
Maybe Mr Sun is feeling shy. Mr Sun can follow me. Caelan doesn’t mind.
I looked behind us. My chin was on Mommy’s shoulder.
“Mommy… the forest is dark. Mr Sun can’t peek at Caelan anymore,” I said, pointing up. - vol 1 ch 24: Adventure of little Caelan with Mommy.
Vol. 1
Status: [Completed rewrite]
I read about child development psychology and realized... most child POVs in mainstream fiction are simply naive adult POVs disguised as children.
For example, children tend not to think in abstract concepts. They prefer concrete, sensory examples. They care more about delicious food than world peace.
I read my old fiction... and realized how bad my narrative was, so I had to rewrite it. On the one hand, that could be a good sign, as my narrative skills would be improving (otherwise I wouldn't feel so bad about my old fiction). On the other hand, it adds to the work of writing fiction. It's exhausting, but it's also rewarding to see the narrative improve.
One class that doesn't get much attention (not that it doesn't exist; I've seen Legolas and Robinhood, too) in mainstream fantasy fiction is the archer.
Disaster is Just A Consequence
Disaster doesn't argue with you
Disaster doesn't come knocking at your door
Disaster is just a consequence
What is denied is what happens
What is feared is what destroys
Whoever sins, all may suffer the consequences
How do humans deal with living disasters?
Imagine a typhoon, an earthquake, a pyroclastic flow, or any other disaster, but they have consciousness, and we (humans) fight (or survive) against them. That's what I want to write as the final climax of the arc of vol 2 in my fiction. An ending that is epic, tragic, and humane.
- Power fantasy = power solves everything.
- Dark fantasy = Power brings consequences, even disaster.
- Super hero fantasy = with power comes responsibility.
- Romance fantasy = not power, but love solves everything.
What if you hurt the victims you failed to protect in the past again because you are dealing with old wounds that have not healed?
Imagine a war where strength isn't the deciding factor in victory, but rather strategy, character psychology, ideology, terrain conditions, logistics, socio-political dynamics, and tactical warfare all work together to create a multi-layered war. In this kind of fiction, the MC can't rely solely on the OP to determine victory. Often, alliances, morale, intelligence, and even luck outweigh an OP MC.
What if the world chose to forget its saviour and its sins—
while the saviour chose instead to protect her daughter’s innocence?
No matter how many times it's been repeated, the last knight standing trope remains cool. It's one of the most humane fictional tropes, inspired by real history. -
