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
A FORGOTTEN ECHO
The white light slowly faded away, leaving a resonance that still vibrated in the air. The composite figure-who now called himself Li Fengtian-stood with paradoxical calm amidst the ruins of the Border Council building. Dust flew around him, dancing in the dawn light that began to penetrate the cracks in the walls.Professor Zhang, or rather the vessel used by the Dark Narrative, had disappeared. There was no trace of him other than the black robe lying empty on the cracked floor.“He has retreated.” Li Fengtian whispered, his voice still a harmony of two distinct yet harmonious voices. “But it's not over yet.”Li Fengtian raised his hand, observing fingers that felt both familiar and unfamiliar. His body was now a perfect combination of Lin and Li-Lin's masculine strength blended with the gentleness of Li's face, creating an androgynous figure that exuded an undeniable aura of authority.With steady steps, he walked through the ruins, towards the large window overlooking the city. Th
Five Peaks Mountain
Li Fengtian's steps towards the black hole-the portal that gaped like a mouth of primordial darkness-stopped after seven steps. Not because of hesitation, but because of the sudden understanding that infiltrated his consciousness.“We've been dancing in the same scenario over and over again,” he said, his voice calm even as the world around him was crumbling. “The Prima Narrative creates the illusion of choice, but in the end, there is always a hidden way out.”The figure claiming to be the first triplet-the alpha subject-stared at him with black pupil-less eyes that were now filled with shock.“What are you talking about?” the alpha subject asked, the pendant in his hand glowing brighter and brighter.Li Fengtian turned around, a faint smile on his androgynous face-a perfect blend of Lin and Li's features.“The third truth,” he replied. “The choice you never showed me.”With movements too fast for ordinary eyes to follow, Li Fengtian touched the pendant on his chest with one hand, an
A MAZE OF IDENTITIES
Five Peaks Mountain greeted them with an unearthly silence. Li Fengtian and the human figure who had once been the One Who Writes the Unwritten-who now called himself Feng-stood on the highest peak, gazing at a panorama that should have been familiar yet somehow felt alien.“Something's not right,” Li Fengtian whispered, his heterochromic eyes sweeping the landscape below. Yueshan City looked intact in the distance, no sign of the destruction or reality distortion that had once threatened its existence. Yet there was something odd about the way the skyscrapers reflected the sunlight-as if they were made of too-perfect glass.“This is not the Yueshan we left behind,” Feng agreed, a deep frown forming on his forehead. “This is... another version.”Li Fengtian touched the single pendant on his chest-the result of the union of the three narrative keys-and felt an unusually subtle vibration. Something about the narrative they were entering felt out of sync with his meta-narrative conscious
Fragmented Resonance
“I will leave...” Li Fengtian took a deep breath, his fingers almost touching the shaking surface of the mirror, “...my certainty.”Feng looked at him wide-eyed. “What do you mean?”“Every step I've taken so far has been based on the belief that I am the only 'awakened' Li Fengtian,” she replied, her heterochromatic eyes radiating determination. “That belief is what I will leave in exchange.”The library nodded slowly, its half-book face displaying an unreadable expression. “Exchange accepted. Doubt in exchange for certainty. Interesting.”Without another word, Li Fengtian pushed his hand through the mirror. An unusually cold sensation traveled from his fingertips, creeping up his arms, then throughout his body. He heard Feng shout his name before the world around him shattered into shards of spinning reality.Lin stood stiffly before the Border Council, her hands trembling as she tried to reread the document that had just been handed to her. Li beside her seemed equally tense, the wo
THE PRISM OF TRUTH
The cracks in the Border Council floor widened, swallowing up empty chairs and old wooden tables. Wei Longchen and the Council members who had just been freed from their freeze rushed to safety, leaving Lin, Li, and Feng facing the coldly smiling figure of the Library.“Three fragments that shouldn't meet,” the Library said, its voice echoing like thousands of whispers speaking simultaneously. “Very... unconventional.”Lin stepped forward, the red pendant in her hand pulsing like a burning heart. “What exactly do you want?”“Balance,” replied the Library, its completely black eyes unblinking. “Narratives are fragile structures. Every deviation creates a branch, every branch creates a weight. And when the weight is too heavy...”The figure raised his hand towards the ceiling of the room, which was now beginning to crack as well, flakes of plaster falling like gray snow.“...the entire structure could collapse.”Feng stepped next to Lin, the purple pendant in his hand now emitting a mor
THE SHADOW OF DESTINY
The violet light from the three united pendants dazzled the eyes, filling the Prism Room with energy that shook the foundations of the Library of Narratives. Lin, Li, and Feng stood within that vortex of energy, their bodies beginning to fade and merge into a paradoxical cosmic harmony-both separate and as one.“NO!” Yang Mengedit shouted, his half-book face torn apart by horror. “You don't understand the consequences!”But his voice was drowned out in the rumble of energy that shook the entire existence. Amidst the swirl of purple light, Lin looked at Li one last time as two separate entities. In their gaze was a pure understanding-about fate, about choice, and about acceptance.The rumbling reached its peak, and in an explosion of blinding light, everything turned white.***A drop of water fell onto the floor of the cave, its sound echoing in the tense silence. Lin Fengtian opened his eyes slowly, consciousness flowing back into his body that felt unfamiliar yet familiar. He rose s
INTERSECTION OF NARRATIVES
Seven days passed since Lin's encounter with the messenger of the Three-Eyed Oracle. Seven days that changed his beliefs about fate and the balance he thought he understood.That morning, dew still covered the leaves as Lin strode along the shores of Twin Moon Lake. The crystal dagger pulsed warmly at his waist, as if responding to something invisible to the ordinary eye. Lin halted his steps, his black eyes sweeping across the water's silvery surface.“They're watching you,” whispered an old woman's voice-one of the fragments of her inner narrative. “From the depths of the water. From the cracks between realities.”Lin didn't answer, just fingered the hilt of her crystal dagger, feeling the connection that had now become an integral part of her existence.“You're starting to feel the change, aren't you?” A new voice rang through the air, so real that Lin turned her head to make sure no one else was around.Under the shadow of an ancient willow tree, a silver masked figure stood tall.
CIRCLE OF DESTINY
The Tower of Inverted Babel loomed before Lin Fengtian like a black needle piercing the sky from below. At the foot of the tower, shadows moved with an unnatural rhythm-like a reminder that this place was beyond the normal laws of physics.Lin felt the fragments of narrative within him react to the proximity of the Scrying Mirror. Some cowered in fear, others trembled in anticipation. The purple-black energy that was now part of her aura pulsed more strongly, as if negotiating with the darkness of Nidhogg that she had absorbed.“You don't have to do this alone,” said the Editing One who had followed her since the encounter at Twin Moon Lake. Her silver mask now covered only half her face, revealing pale white skin with black veins that moved like living ink.Lin turned her head. “You followed me not out of concern for my safety.”“That's right,” Yang Mengedit admitted without guilt. “I followed you because you now hold the key to my continued existence.”Lin smiled slightly. She appre
THE PENARASIK PARADOX
Surprise is an emotion foreign to the First Penarasik. As an architect of reality, she was used to seeing the story flow according to the structure she had designed. However, when two entities from her own narrative appeared in her dimly lit workspace, for the first time in her long existence, she felt a chill run down her spine.“No way,” he whispered, backing away from his desk that was covered in stacks of papers and old reference books. “You can't be here.”Lin Fengtian stood calmly, the Crossing Sigil on his chest pulsing with a purple-black light that reflected on the walls of the workspace filled with bookshelves. Beside him, the Editing One-or the Last Guardian-was still clutching his hand, his face now fully visible behind the silver mask that had disappeared. The face of an old man with silvery eyes and ancient calligraphy tattooed on his forehead.“Nothing is impossible in a broken narrative,” Lin replied, her calm voice at odds with the chaos they had just created. “Especi
