If We Had 5 More Minutes

What is a mystery? Is it an axiom representing what is not perceptible and understandable? Is it the unfathomable, incomprehensible no matter how people try to make it specious? No, it isn't that. The definition of mystery is only what people can conceive, a specious fact with loopholes. People believe what they believe to be true and sadly, it has plunged them to the endless gore of ignorance. Mysteries aren't what we don't understand or what we can't comprehend. Mysteries aren't what remain hidden, taciturn to the ever yearning ears of people. Mysteries aren't the supernatural laws which can't be explained or fathomed. No, the definition of 'mysteries' is beyond that. Mysteries are what can't be reached no matter how we try to reach them. It isn't what can't be comprehended. Rather, it's what can't be reached. They are endless gores, immersed into the abyssal chasm of infinities. Mysteries are a state of endlessness and boundlessness, incomprehensible and unfathomable. Yes, that's what mysteries are. Cyclopean and grosteque phantasm is what a mystery should be called. A mystery transcends the feebleness and lumbering states of concepts, going on and on for eternity. Hence, a mystery is the same as infinity and infinity the same as a mystery. A mystery is infinite and infinity is mysterious—both are like a symphony, intertwined with each other making them chalcenterous and existing in oneness. To understand a mystery, you need to be boundless and infinite, transcending all possible concepts and impossible concepts, all possible 'non-concepts' and all impossible 'non-concepts'. Mysteries are beyond conception as well as non-conception. They are mysteries, boundless and infinite! They are stacked upon each other in a terracing manner, shrouded in the prodigious paradigm of infinity, going on and on till infinity!

He was at the verge of securing the contract that would change his life, the contract that would prove to everyone that he wasn't just the worthless house husband, but suddenly he received a call. His wife was shouting over the phone, calling for him to attend to his sick daughter. Without thinking, he abandoned the opportunity of a lifetime, only to go to the hospital and find no one. When he went home, a party was being held without him. His child looked healthy, and his wife had another man's arm around her waist, the same man she'd told him was nothing but business and they were celebrating the same contract that phone call had made him lose. Ethan lost it. He'd spent 9 years living as a ghost because he believed he could build something outside of his family's wealth, with a woman who he'd loved right from campus. But the world was cruel to an honest man like him and now, he'd have to turn to his past and face the very thing that made him walk away from a dynasty, only this time, there is much more darkness to it that he must face.

“So why are you so happy about twenty dollars?” Justin quickly brightened again. “Because now I have thirty-five dollars in total!” he said. “Okay…” Britney replied. Justin continued eagerly. “Remember how you kept talking about Delico Restaurant at school? You always said you wanted to taste their food.” There was another pause. “Yes… I remember,” Britney said slowly. Justin smiled. “So I was thinking… maybe tonight we could go there together.” “What about that?” she asked. Justin laughed softly. “I mean we could finally try it. Just the two of us.” But Britney suddenly interrupted him. “Justin,” she said politely, though her tone carried a hint of irritation.  “Do you really expect us to get dressed up and go to Delico Restaurant just to buy one plate of food and share it?” Justin blinked in confusion.

Zaqqy was just an ordinary security guard. He wasn't rich. He had no power. He had no one. Until that night... he chose to fight back. He fought his own master to save a woman from humiliation. That decision got him fired, slandered, and then thrown into the forest to die. But fate wasn't done with him yet. Under an ancient banyan tree, as his life hung in the balance, something ancient and forbidden revived him. The Brajamusti technique, a deadly striking technique, only chooses souls with courage and wounds. From that moment on, his hands were no longer merely human hands. A single strike could shatter bones. One burst of anger could destroy a life. But power always comes at a price. Hunted by cruel humans and invisible creatures, Zaqqy must learn to control the energy that could burn him from within. Around him, women with different destinies began to be drawn to that thunderous aura, love, jealousy, and betrayal intertwined. When his master's past is revealed and the dark prophecy about Brajamusti resounds once more, Zaqqy is faced with a choice: to become a protector... or to transform into a storm that destroys everything. Because when fate chooses you, there is no turning back.

From being a nobody—a live-in husband, slapped for clean floors, bankrupted and humiliated, watched while his family was almost destroyed—Adrian Cole had nothing. Until the fire. Until the Alchemist Ledger, a system that escaped from hell appeared. Now, every dying soul is a number, every death a payout. Touch the dying, see their fate, and earn real money. A balance sheet of life and death. But the more he lets fall, the louder Shadow grows—the whispering, vengeful voice of all those ferried souls, demanding justice. Adrian must choose: watch the world die for profit and face an unstoppable darkness… or save the helpless and watch himself age from within, powerless and broke. Every choice costs. Every choice shapes him. What kind of man will he become?

While the criminal was brutally killing me, my dad, the head of the criminal investigation division, and my mom, the chief forensic pathologist, were attending my brother Matthew Lambert’s match. In a bid for revenge, the criminal, who had once been captured by my dad, cut out my tongue and used my phone to call him. My dad only said one thing before hanging up. "No matter what’s going on, Matthew’s match is the top priority today!" The criminal sneered, "Seems I’ve kidnapped the wrong person. I thought they would love their biological son more!" At the crime scene, my parents were shocked by the brutal state of the body and condemned the cruelty of the killer. However, they did not realize that the horrifically mutilated corpse was their own son.

Once revered as an unstoppable force on the battlefield, the God of War… wanted nothing more than a family of his own. Gravely wounded during a mission, he was saved by Nolan Garcia, the only man who treated him with genuine kindness. As a token of trust, the old man arranged for him to marry his granddaughter Quella, giving the weary warrior the warmth of family he had long craved. But peace wasn't here to stay. His half-brother Kenneth, wolves in sheep’s clothing, arrived at his doorstep under the pretense of family. They were planning to usurp his place, coveting the wealth and influence of the Garcia household. Kenneth, charming, manipulative, and deceitful, wove lies around the warrior’s wife, poisoning her heart against him. Forced to give until he had nothing left, the warrior bled for a brother who only wanted to ruin him. But war is never won in a single battle. As the world turns against him, as these schemes threaten to strip him of everything he holds dear, the God of War will rise again. This time, not to conquer nations, but to reclaim his honor, unmask his enemies, and make those who betrayed him pay in blood. The battlefield may have changed. But blood still calls for blood.

" Lisa, I... I didn-" " Stop it." Lisa declared, her voice trembling with emotion. "I won't tolerate any more of your lies, you overstepped your boundaries this time, Mello, and I won't forgive you for it." she said, gasping. She stopped for a moment, staring directly into his eyes. Mello could have sworn he saw guilt and pain in those blue eyes. He hated that he was the reason she was that way. He attempted to speak but words failed him. " I think this is it," Lisa said, letting her tears fall as she made a painful decision " I can't do this anymore. Let's end this marriage." Mello Buster, once content with his modest life despite its challenges, found himself broken by Lisa's declaration. He left in despair, feeling depressed and defeated. To his surprise, fate had a surprising twist in store. A shocking revelation suddenly led him to become an heir to a vast fortune worth trillions. Armed with newfound wealth and influence, the once worthless son-in-law returned on a mission to reclaim his dignity and prove his worth to those who had belittled him.

In the God Domain, Cultivators were few but each of them wielded power that would make them known as gods. How did they come to have such power? By comprehending the laws between heaven and earth and became those very laws. But something occurred, a youth that hadn’t gained the acknowledgment of the heavens to become a cultivator chance upon Qi.
