《THE NIGHTMARE | l.s.》Вместо пролога
Advertisement
В ночь с двенадцатого на тринадцатое июня в бывших владениях семьи Торндайк был найден труп пожилого мужчины – одного из рабочих, занимающихся постройкой нового частного дома на этой территории. Погибший – некто Дэйв Кэрри, по рассказам коллег, отказался покидать место строительства накануне дня смерти, также крайне странно себя вёл, проявлял агрессию и утверждал, что является законным хозяином наследства семьи Торндайк. Один из близких друзей погибшего рассказал о том, что ещё при жизни Дэйв страдал от тяжёлого психического расстройства – какого именно, источником не раскрывается. Предположительно мужчина покончил с собой, повесившись в уже выстроенном подвальном помещении нового дома. Каких-либо следов насильственной смерти на теле обнаружено не было, как и предсмертной записки.
Другие работники не раз упоминали о том, что место, которое новый владелец земли выбрал для своего будущего коттеджа, довольно неспокойное. На протяжении всего процесса сноса сгоревшего поместья и постройки нового здания и днём, и ночью раздавались пугающие звуки, напоминающие то плач ребёнка, то женские или мужские крики. Один из коллег Дэйва Кэрри утверждал, что видел силуэт какого-то старика в подвальном помещении.
Жуткие истории о семье, некогда жившей в этом доме, уже давно гуляют по округе. Доподлинно известно также о таинственной смерти предка фамилии Торндайков, Винсента Абрахама Торндайка, покончившего с собой путём повешения после потери горячо любимой жены. Имеет ли место быть старинная страшилка, родившаяся ещё до начала Второй Мировой, рассказывающая о не упокоившихся душах прежних владельцев этого места, мы, возможно, так никогда и не узнаем. Всё, что известно нашей редакции – строительство временно приостановлено, ведётся расследование по делу о самоубийстве одного из рабочих, а новый владелец земли отказывается отвечать на вопросы о том, что произошло на его территории. Полицией тщательно проверяются условия, в которых работал погибший и его коллеги.
Тем временем весь Торнхилл перешёптывается о проклятии, которое настигает всех владельцев этой земли. В округе всё ещё звучат рассказы о страшном пожаре в особняке Торндайк, обитатели которого спаслись разве что благодаря настоящему чуду. После этого владельцами была продана и территория вместе с тем, что осталось от дома, и семейный музей – исторический памятник возрастом, по меньшей мере, около двухсот лет.

Gateway
An archaeologist by the name of Søren Quinn wakes up elsewhere after boarding a plane for Iceland. Now he has to come to terms with a significant loss of recent memory and his apparent death and rebirth, provided he can survive the rigors of the Tutorial on Gateway Station and whatever waits for him after the Tutorial. Updates. When I can... sorry. Author's Note. Gateway is a portal/isekai style GameLit novel, but it has two main lead characters and will eventually have a small cast of minor lead characters to support them. There will be small elements of base building / kingdom management added as well over time, but they will not be the focus. Gateway really is a slow burn that takes some time to get going unfortunately, but I hope you find it's worth the wait. Thank you! p.s. Book One is finally done (only needed one more chapter unfortunately...) but I'm off hiatus now and will be starting on Book Two right away!

The City of the Dragon Twisted
. 🐉 . The City of The Forever-Peace witnesses a pale young Buddhist Monk fighting his fearful thoughts of whether to cross the borders to Nepal and India against the death penalty. Why would that matter? In that September Autumn night of circa A.D.655, Emperor Táme’ Tie’-Zeon has been ruling an empire spanning 13,000 miles from the East to as far as the Baikal Sea in the Western Regions bordering the Middle East kingdom and the Rome Empire. Meanwhile, news has traveled that his Dharma-Son, Pan G. Monk faces an incredible Guillotine Execution that will chop off his waist in halves. The Empress Wǔl Zénder-Tan’ couldn't be careless. Why would that matter to the imperial family? Monks are just officials with equal vicarious duties and privileges. She would then spare her resourceful energy to maintain the fruitful relationship intertwining The Grand-Khan Jurchen-Warlords Clans in the North-East Desert in attempts to affirm her fate as the first and only female-Emperor, in the Medieval Ages of the Great City of the Dragon. Whereas The Abbot Master Xend'-Zeon of the Jade-Lotus Temple faces factions of religious politics. Particularly in the present, the Empress needed to manipulate the Master’s reputation to desperately seek life and/or the after-life merits. She decreed to be addressed as The Old Buddha Grand Father. The Master has had ideals of service to sentient beings since he was young. He could have traveled the Silk Road to the Far West entrance-point bypassing the five beacons as shortcuts save that he lacks the pertinent travel documents. Instead, he chose to cross the 800-mile овь-Gobi Desert that is as vast as the Baikal Sea, on foot. A route that is impossible in the history of the Buddha dharma. His heart never withers to support the mage of the red lotus that promises the Enlightenment of the Buddha-Land. Except that no one has ever endured the latitude of the heat. The pain. Alive, out of the desert sea. But he is also vulnerable to recognize the un-staticity of The Truth, The Truth itself, and the truth of seeking passion and mission for compassion in humankind. The mind and body reciting The Sūtra and The Heart, A phenomenon they knew better as if souls in chemical layers of their physique. Realizing enhanced mind training attaining controlling powers of life and death. Realizing the transformation of the unbearable pains and grievances he thought possible. . 2 . 🐉 . Meanwhile, dreams have been watching him to open The Third Eye, at The City's Amethyst-Jade Palace of the Second Emperor, Third Emperor, and Fourth Empress. Old Monks at The Nālandā Temple at the Far West Buddha Land; Householders Masters and Kings of the Jeek’-Foot Mountains of The City of the Naga-Dragon Twisted; in the Far West of The City of the Ever-Peace witness adventures of The Master. Lives at brinks of suicidal choices slaughtering ordeals. Who have inadvertently neglected the Master's karmic inflictions that would paradoxically affirm in a point of Near-Death Experiences; The Two-Profound-Reflective presented upon attaining The Deep-Active-Meditatitive Flow of Equanimity Samādhi. Eventually, The Seer Consciousness sees the Active Heart that is replete with The Latent Unconditional Love, Compassion And Empathy; that had been so close to us that we could not see it; as if one cannot see her own face. . 3 . 🐉 . Meanwhile also, the Imperial Criminal Affairs Clerk Ewen Hawk-Jean suffers too much seeking possession of desires and relief from a certain situation. Pan G., the Assistant Dharma-Translator to the Abbott Master Xend'-zeon has voluntarily or otherwise fallen into the supposed conspiracy or plain indifference. The imperial family's agenda of the Imperial Family of The Fang’-Chucks of course longs for a waist cut in halves not simply as souvenirs. Awaiting the Abbot Master is to come out from the disturbance. Incredibly transformative factors of the Mind-Transcendence-Samadhi are profoundly desired to spare the Monk Pan G. from the Post-Autumn Guillotine Execution that will chop off his waist in halves...... …But why would it matter to You?
