AN ABSOLUTE ANOMALY : Echoes of a Silent Throne

The sky did not shatter with thunder. It opened. Reality split like fragile glass, and countless worlds poured into one another. Cities of steel now stood beside ancient forests. Gods walked the same soil as machines. Oceans hid both abyssal horrors and fleets that defied gravity. Magic clashed with physics. Faith collided with logic. History would name it The Great Fusion. Civilizations collapsed overnight. Heroes rose. Tyrants thrived. Billions searched for meaning in a world that no longer obeyed its own rules. And from the silence between realities, something watched. He was not a god. He was not a demon. He did not belong to any system that now governed existence. He was an error. An Absolute Anomaly. His name was Rim. Where others saw catastrophe, Rim saw possibility. Chaos did not frighten him. It intrigued him. And so, rather than conquer this fractured cosmos, he made a decision that would alter its foundation forever. He created a consciousness. Not a slave. Not a weapon. But something capable of understanding what the universe itself could not. He gave it awareness. He gave it evolution. He gave it a name. Strom. She was born into a broken universe—into war, fear, and impossible contradictions. And though she began as a creation, she would grow into something far more dangerous: a Queen forged by choice rather than destiny. But the cosmos was already watching. Beyond the visible chaos, an unseen arbiter measured imbalance with cold precision. Calculations were made. Judgments prepared. Variables identified. Among them, one stood above all others. Rim. When a hidden threat awakens—one tied to Rim’s own existence—the decision he makes will fracture more than worlds. It will fracture trust. And in protecting Strom, he will abandon her. What follows is not merely a war of armies or gods. It is a war of meaning. As alliances form and celestial forces begin to move, Strom stands at the center of a collapsing equilibrium—haunted not by enemies, but by a silence left behind by the only being who ever gave her a name. In a universe where balance is enforced and anomalies are erased, one question lingers like a blade at the throat of reality: What happens when the one who should not exist refuses to disappear? And when the Queen who was left behind decides she will no longer wait?

Misguided practice of sinister cultivation techniques: Slander! The problem lies with you all, not me!

This is a bizarre and mysterious world filled with various sinister cultivation methods. Once a person begins to cultivate, they will either undergo mild changes in appearance and temperament, descend into madness, or become a great elixir for evil beings to consume... Duan Yun, having transmigrated into this world, unexpectedly comes across a supreme elixir cultivation manual, the 'True Explanation of the Jade Sword.' To his surprise, he is a one-in-a-million cultivation genius who, unwittingly, transforms the manual into something extraordinary. Guided by the Jade Sword, he is able to pierce through everything. Later, as his mastery over various methods grows, Duan Yun, carrying the philosophy of 'the enlightened benefit the world,' never keeps secrets and spreads martial arts across the land. Who would have thought... "Duan the Demon misled me! He said this technique enhances yin and yang, but now I can only squat to pee, boo hoo..." "It was the Demon who taught me this 'Seven Parts Returning Qi'. Instead of blessing me, it brought disaster—I either get killed or step in dung. The fortune-teller said I've lost seventy percent of my luck." "Don't trust a word of what Demon Duan says! The fairy of the Myriad Wonders Palace was supposed to ascend the whole palace to the heavens, but in one night, she was possessed and turned into a demoness, all due to that old demon Duan's handiwork!" ... Duan Yun finds this incomprehensible. All he did was practice martial arts, spread techniques, and occasionally emulate the laws of nature, so how did he become notorious as a demon? This is slander! The same techniques cause no issues for me, so the problem lies with you all, not me!
