4000 Years Novels & Stories

The world underwent a transformation during the time when the recursive architecture was in place. Amina felt a chill in her chest. “How long?”. Adrian asked before she could. Miriam looked at him. “Two hundred and thirteen years.”. Silence. Absolute. Amina's mind rejected it instantly. “No.”. Miriam faced her again. In a subjective manner, your cycles persisted across layers of temporal distortion. Outside, time moved conventionally.”. Amina staggered slightly. Two centuries. Everyone she might have known—. Gone. Civilizations changed.

The way you touched things that needed to be understood. The specific texture. The layering. The way the crystals had grown under pressure. The way pressure had made something new from what was already there. I stood back. "Mr. Abara," I said. "Yes," he said. "How old is this specific section?" I said. "Four hundred and eighty million years," he said. "Give or take." He paused. "Older in some places." He paused. "The valley has variation." I took out the compass. I held it level.

“Look. This won’t be easy to tell you Tori, but you see…. Back where I come from, we Fae are always taught the importance of history and to never dismiss it so easily. As history always has a way of repeating itself when it wants to.” “But… I don’t understand” “Of course you don’t Tori. But that dream you just told me about is a dream that’s been around for hundreds of years. 500 or so years. It’s a cycle that’s never been broken.” “Never?” I move to ask, almost in disbelief of what he just said.

I am ready. Forty-four years. The fourth book forming. The bowl, made again. Still ready. Always ready.

Then Ding Hao thought of something else and then he asked, "Since the Fake God's characters in the Primal Ancient Gu Ages appeared on the city wall, are the ruins a vestige from those times?" According to the record of the ages in the Land of Infinity, one hundred thousand years was one Gu. One hundred thousand years from that time was the Late Ancient Gu Ages; another one hundred thousand years were the Middle Ancient Gu Ages; a hundred thousand years after the Middle Ancient Gu Ages was the Ancient Gu Ages; one hundred thousand years from the Ancient Gu Ages was the Remote Ancient Gu Ages, and another hundred thousand years from the Remote Ancient Gu Ages the Primal Ancient Gu Ages. That w

"Over 500 years of existence, and you still don't know how to compliment women." Sephora tried not to jolt at his words. She'd heard it quite a few times now, but now it had only just sunk in. Ambrose was over 500 years old? It explained a lot, about his experience and about wanting to protect his people. He was immortal after all, so she suspected him to have lived for a long time but… 500 years! He must have been alive during The Great Purge, if that was the case. The thought made Sephora shudder.

I asked. "Perhaps more, perhaps less. When I say four hundred years, it is but an average. Many outlive that span. Since the curse took hold, the eldest of our kind reached six hundred and twelve years.” I nodded, processing the data dump in my head. I picked up the pot of tea Florence must have left and poured a cup. “Do you want some?" I teased Helen. She shook her head curtly and stood up to go do something else. I drank the tea, which was still warm and, thankfully, not the bitter garbage the Queen served me earlier.

A dozen youths left dejectedly. In Xiao Chen's last life, people used Immortal Century to number the years. Nowadays, people used Open Century to number the years. It was now more than 2,000 years in the Open Century, but the historical records here regarding the earliest times were about 4,000 years before Open Century. Therefore, this world had about 7,000 years of history. Xiao Chen could not help feeling emotional. Waking up from a dream, he saw 7,000 years pass. It should be the last years of the Immortal Century in about 5,000 years before Open Century. Unfortunately, there was no record here regarding that period of time.

Her curiosity was a flicker of light in the darkness of my life, a sign of her interest in me and my world. "Well... to start with, I'm the oldest here... by about 400 years or so." Her gasp was unexpectedly pleasing, making me grin as I continued, "I'm just over 1200. I was born in...well, around 880 AD."
