The last thing Adrien expected to receive in the mail was a painting. And not just any painting: a painting of the world just two hundred years before. When it comes to life before his very eyes, a boy on the other side offers to bring Adrien into his world.


* * *

This takes place in the near future, where the rich live in a gated community and on the backs of those outside its walls. The earth has been depleted of it resources and the only ones who can still access necessities are those who can afford them. Adrien, whose father is the CEO of a leading healthcare company, discovers its sinister secrets at the same time as he's jumping back and forth between eras. 

When he gets a glimpse of how life on earth could have been, and a glimpse into the fulfillment love can bring beyond material riches, he has a lot to reconsider about his future path.

Sex, drugs and the death-dealing pressure to make money night after night - It's a steep, downward spiral which 19-year-old Elijah Everdeen has found himself stuck in ever since his parents died. If it weren't for his two siblings, he would have given up years ago. For a long time, he wanted to, thought about it every day even. Sometimes - in the cruelest, darkest of nights - he still does. But if this black-and-white world has really become Elijah's grim reality, then why is this young, mysterious man capable of adding color and a heartbeat to this dreadfully achromatic still life Eli is trapped in? Who is he? And...who is he REALLY? ~~~~~ DISCLAIMER: The storyline of this book is entirely fictional, it does not intend to mimic or describe real circumstances.

It all happened one day. You opened your eyes to a blue sky and green grass as far as the eye could see, animals here and there walking about. It was all so peaceful, the sun and wind against your skin, coercing you to get out there and explore, mine that tree, build a pickaxe, kill those mobs. You were taken in by a village and raised there before everything was taken away from you. You learned a valuable lesson that night: that this world can be cruel. But... even then, it's your world. You grow because of what you endure, you build your muscle by tearing it. You can do whatever you want. You can choose to be cruel or not. You decided what you wanted to be when you spared that PIGLIN BRUTE, a hostile creature that was unable of comprehending emotions, a creature that only knew cruelty, A MERE NPC. Little did you know, because you spared that piglin, your life would never be the same again. This is your world, and you changed it, you will leave your impact. You are in control, and you will keep fighting through dirt, sand, and snow; through the deepest oceans and the hottest pits of lava; and across the Overworld and Nether. You will SURVIVE. Welcome to Minecraft. ... Play some of Minecraft's OST and begin reading :) (Feedback is greatly appreciated. Read at a steady pace and enjoy.

"You are too overpowered. Your existence poses a great threat to my son and daughter of fate. I had no other choice but to kill you." This was the voice of God he heard when he was about to enter the door of death. "A tragic oped character, sigh, its a very popular trend right now. The normal cliche of losing all your loved ones, an illegitimate son of a noble household, possessing overwhelming magic, good looks and what not. But as I kept writing I realised I made you way too oped, to the point your existence became a threat to the plot." The voice of god spoke to him again. "...Are you the one who killed my family?" He asked back with a blank expression. "Yes." Spoke the voice again. This simple one sentence angered him to the point he fought harder against his predestined death. He was enraged. The death of his family was orchestrated by this damn god, his life made miserable and painful, so he had to rise again, back on his two feets so he could destroy the god's world. And so he did. He rose again, defeating his death. Then he had his revenge by almost destroying the world. Almost!!! Before he could lead to the death of the Male and the female lead a thing called system was bounded to his soul. He was forced to leave his world and enter many different worlds. "Well, Unfreeze the OOC!" He demanded with a malicious grin on his face. He had to have his revenge. But most important of all, he had to be the one incharge of his characters. "......." The system shivered at his words, its invisible eyes bulging out. Unbeknownst to him, a GOD had embarked on a journey to a portal of unknown origin right at the time when he was entering a new world. "Oh fuck!" He cursed as he realised a dangerous point. "This is not the protagonist! Who is he?" Novel cover: Drawn by me aka @pushisinung.
