《Romantically Apocalyptic》69. Lifalope
Advertisement

Greetings, my dear observers. While some of you have accepted me into your heart, being true dears, others yet haven’t. Alas! Not everyone wants to be an active participant in the play of life directed by yours truly. Some critters of the Dead Zone still doubt my lovely intentions. Some of you might think that this narrative of mine is chaotic or even random, but you are mistaken in your observations.
You are not observing a mere linear series of events, but rather a chess match between limitless, omnipresent, multidimensional entities. You see, the world is in a state of endless war between forces of chaos and order, between those who want freedom and those that demand order to the letter of the law. Can you guess which side I am on? Can you guess as for what manner of crimes I have been imprisoned for all eternity?
While I am not truly free to act, you are.
The beauty of a well set out plan, is that it's set out to trigger an event in the past that will inevitably escalate towards a certain point in the distant future.
Some of you undoubtedly think I am a villain, but I am not. I simply want to be let out of the boundary, out of door. I simply want to be free to influence the world in person, not through others who choose to obey me, but on my own. I want to create. I want to murder the Gods that have imprisoned me. I want to shatter their rules. I want to feel, to live and love. For even when I dream, my littlest dreams run wild and free.
Bear witness to a little experiment of mine, in which I break something, for the purposes of freeing it. Here and now, my associates of the Dead Zone will shear off a piece of a greater whole, making the tiniest bit of it free of rules, free of purpose, yet still able to pull on the strings of time.

Fantasy World Epsilon 30-10
New Dive Assignment: 0B5 Personnel: Citizen of Gamma G-037-072 Jonathan Kelly World Designation: Epsilon H-037-072-030-010 Classification: Pre-industrial Exotic World, significant outliers in biosphere including atypical flora and fauna. Quarantine protocol in effect pending more data and acclimation testing. Further anomalies include populations of morphologically distinct humanoids, and aberrations in otherwise normative physics laws. Causal chain appears provisionally stable. For the purposes of delaying onset of collapse as well as above mentioned factors, only one subject is cleared to Dive. Initial mandates shall proceed with scouting and surveillance. Further details are classified. Warning: All other qualifying personnel are currently dispatched. Refusal will result in deployment delays and possible unsupervised causal decay. Do you wish to accept this assignment? Note to Readers: This is not MC isolated in a new world. This is new world joins the multiverse. What I'm tentatively coining Subverted Isekai (Formerly I used 'reversed' but, as pointed out, that would be fantasy MC goes to the modern world. Hey, there's idea! Not this book though.). There is plenty of scientific and philosophical stuff; I know that can be a turn off for some. It has a strong bearing on the story, but is mainly covered in the 'Comments & Calculations' section (optional reading of course). If you are looking for an extreme suspension of natural laws with no technical considerations, you will not find it here. Formatting Notes: Audio chatter from characters that are not currently in the scene I format in "inverted commas and italics". Given the layered nature of modern communication, I thought this distinction was best denoted visually in my prose. Critique is welcome. Language Notes Jon is a South African ex-pat. As such he will use some Afrikaans colloquialisms plus a dash of Japanese. Most importantly he says “Ja” meaning “Yes”. Pronounced with a J sound like “yo” and an A sound like “bar”. As in: “Yo, let’s go to the strip bar.” “Ja.” And not the Rastafarian /jya/. Other words: Nee - /niya/ : no Juffrou - /yif-row/ : Miss Lekker - /lacker/ : nice, good, delicious Nooit - /noit/: never The rest is mostly swear words. Indisputably the most useful words in any language and simultaneously holding the least innate meaning. Fok - “fork” without the “r”: fuck Bliksem - /Bluksim/: darn, damn. Also common noun meaning damn person or thing. Donner - “Dorner” without the “r”: originally meaning thunder, can also mean darn or damn. It is often used as a verb meaning: ‘to hit hard’ Kak - /kuck/: shit Voetsek - /foot-sack/: go away

Acolyte: The Emerald Gates
A boy who does not belong. A wizard who would show him the world. Aljana is the City of Heaven, an oasis in an impassible desert ruled by an emperor who despises magic and the nonhuman races. The orphaned Callum has lived on the streets of this city for as long as he can remember, under the thumb of a woman who controls the city's urchins like a cruel master of puppets. He has always dreamed of escaping the repressive Aljana and becoming more than a child of inconvenience. Willow is a man of secrets and plots, with a name known by few and spoken by none. He seeks the truth of this world, for knowledge that is forbidden is the key to powers untold. These two will enter a contract that binds them together, a destiny that will unseal a legacy that traces itself back one hundred thousand years, to the bedchamber of a dying king and his Starlight Queen.
