Zen, a traveler, roams the vast expanse of the world, driven by an unrelenting curiosity and a profound sense of longing. With each step, he traverses landscapes both breathtaking and desolate, seeking answers to questions that have plagued his restless soul. 

Unbeknownst to him, the meaning of life remains elusive, shrouded in the enigmatic tapestry of existence. Yet, undeterred, Zen journeys onward, his heart open to the whispers of wisdom that echo through the realms he encounters. In his quest for understanding, he explores the depths of human desires, venturing through realms dominated by wealth, power, fame, pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust. 

As he bears witness to the harsh realities of the world, Zen grapples with the complexities of the human condition, seeking solace in the pursuit of virtues and the profound connections that transcend the superficial. Though his destination may remain unknown, Zen's relentless search imparts upon him a profound sense of purpose, propelling him forward on his boundless odyssey through life.

In the vast expanse of the multiverse, two worlds existed in parallel dimensions, their destinies intertwined yet unknown to each other. Elyria, a world of advanced technology and scientific marvels, was governed by the Council of Sages, wise leaders who prioritized knowledge and innovation. Meanwhile, in the world of magic and wonder, the Realm of Enchantia was ruled by the Circle of Mages, powerful sorcerers who wielded the elements with precision and grace. For centuries, these two worlds remained separate, their inhabitants unaware of the other's existence. But as the fabric of reality began to unravel, the boundaries between Elyria and Enchantia started to blur, setting the stage for an epic tale of love, discovery, and unity. In a world where ancient magic whispers through the trees, and futuristic cities pierce the sky, a timeless tale of love and rebellion unfolds. Join Maya, a young woman from a forgotten century, as she hurtles through the fabric of time and into a future where machines rule supreme. In this uncharted territory, she discovers a forbidden love that will shake the foundations of both worlds.

Will she find a way to reconcile the ancient magic that courses through her veins with the advanced technology that threatens to consume her?

The Vigilant Guardian

18 parts Ongoing

In this realm, Confucians, Daoists, Buddhists, demons, and sorcerers coexist. Awakening in a dark prison, Wei Wuji, a graduate of the police academy, finds himself ensnared, with only three days before his exile to the remote borders... Initially, his sole aim was self-preservation, aspiring to live as a leisurely wealthy man in a society devoid of rights. Years later, as Wei Wuji gazes back upon the past, he is haunted by the specters of fallen foes and departed friends, their bones strewn along the path he once tread. The mighty Yangtze River flows relentlessly eastward, its waves erasing the heroes of yore, leaving only echoes of right and wrong, success and failure, as fleeting as a breath. Yet the verdant mountains remain steadfast, bathed in the hues of countless setting suns.
