Inevitable Equilibrium - Part 1: Primal Instincts

SaikyouSenshu
-synopsis- Ren, a youthful Japanese man in his final year of high school, has experienced things differently from other people throughout his life. He could inexplicably tell if someone was lying, pick a card pack with the best hit in it every time, and somehow get full marks on some tests while doing poorly in others. It was truly bazar to others as they couldn’t determine if it was luck or skill, and neither could he, but everyone else eventually came to the same conclusion, that Ren was creepy. People avoided him, tried to bully him, and wanted to use him for their own benefit. This led Ren to grow up with an aversion of forming deep relationships with people out of the fear that they’ll react negatively towards him once again, thus always keeping others at arm's length. Only his mother showed him what it was like to truly love someone, doing everything she could for her beloved son. After relocating to a big city before starting high school, Ren did his best to fit in like a normal person, not wanting to make his mother worry, and always played along with her whims. He now participates in school actively, and has even made friends, even if they aren’t the deepest of friendships. Ren always knew he was different, he just didn’t know how different until he finds himself suddenly face-to-face with a God. -comments- I had a few goals for writing this story, but this will come to light way down the line (probably in several years). I decided to go in the opposite direction from plots of similar stories. That's why I'll get most of the romance out of the way in the first 2 parts (loose plan). The rest of the parts will focus on world building and action. If you think the protagonist is overpowered at the start... -the picture is AI generated and not an accurate reflection of the story. -I am a fulltime worker who writes irregularly and slowly (physical typing speed). I write when I can and will post once monthly. -nudity is depicted, but it is not of the 'ecchi' genre (hate panty shots and needless fan service that doesn't add to character development). -Intercourse happens but is not detailed. -this is a war stricken world, so unsavory things happen. Please keep that in mind for things unsaid but implied. I try to keep things as lighthearted as possible while trying to keep it as realistic as possible. -I wrote this as if watching it in my head, which influenced the writing style. Such as when reading novels, if there are multiple characters, I sometimes find it hard to distinguish who's talking as I can see multiple characters saying what was written. I decided to always make it clear who's talking, so it turned into a book/script/anime hybrid. -any feedback, including typos, are much appreciated. Upload Schedule: 1st of every month (wish I had time to do it more frequently, but alas, responsibilities. I am not writing to become an author, but only for myself and my own mental health. If the opportunity presented itself, sure, why not? However, I can't justify the risks for pursuing something I don't have an absolute diehard passion for. I have immense respect for those who can pursue it and overcome the obstacles. I sincerely apologise to anyone reading it in its early days and wishes for more content. I only thought of stories for myself for many years, but I found myself forgetting parts of my stories. That's why I decided to write them down and record them online, leaving a piece of me out there for hopefully eternity. My goal is not short-term, but very long-term. I just hope that someday, long after I'm gone, someone will read my work and they were happy that they had done so. Just the thought of that makes me content. I hope you understand that I would only upload more frequently and pursue a career in this if my work profoundly resonated with people, so much so that it basically forced me to be an author.

Infinite Source Mage

The world is vast beyond imagination. Across countless lands, power takes countless forms. Magic, skills, abilities, and forces unknown to one land may be meaningless in another. Kingdoms rise, races change, and generations come and go, yet the true nature of power remains beyond the understanding of everyone. Except one man. Known throughout history as The Greatest Mage, he surpassed every known limit, crossed boundaries no one else ever could, and came to understand power on a level the world still cannot explain. Then, at the height of his existence, he vanished. No battle.No prophecy.No explanation. Twenty-one years later, he opened his eyes again. Not as the legend the world remembered, but as a nine-year-old orphan named Bell. His strength is gone. His body is fragile, and his thoughts move faster than his hands ever will again. A new generation has grown up in his absence, telling stories about a man none of them ever met. But Bell remembers everything. Now, learning to live a life that isn't his anymore, Bell finds himself surrounded by people who have no idea what stands beside them, including some who admire the very man he used to be. But the real question was never whether he can reclaim what he lost. It's whether the man he becomes this time will be the same one at all. "Because possessing infinite knowledge has never meant understanding yourself." And beneath the name the world knows him by lies another, one spoken only by those with the power to understand what he truly achieved. The Infinite Source Mage. This is Bell's second life. And this time, it begins from the very beginning.
