An Immense World Novels & Stories

But sovereignty, I had learned, was not the end of the struggle—it was merely a different kind of war. I sat in the High Council Chamber, the walls of which were grown from the same silver-barked oak as the forest. Before me lay a map of the known world, now vastly expanded. Beyond our borders, the news of our "Infinity Energy" had traveled to the Great Empires across the sea. They didn't see a sanctuary; they saw a battery.

"I just returned from a parallel realm. I've been sorting out some security measures." Emmeline sat up abruptly, her heart skipping a beat. "Wait—what? Another parallel realm?" Her voice rose with disbelief before she caught herself, quickly lowering it and glancing at her door again. "There are other realms? Plural? How is that even possible?" "There are infinite versions of realms, Earth across different dimensions," Zavian explained matter-of-factly as if discussing something as mundane as the weather. "Some nearly identical to this one, others vastly different. I've told you before that my kind can travel between realms."

In the year 383 when the human civilization had just started discovering things and building their own empire, people started exhibiting questionable and strange abilities after the great colonial war had ended. Most of the people are still not aware of such a thing but due to the number of children showing abilities that any normal human don’t have, they grew wary and thought that they are cursed. Thinking that the children are spawns of the devil, they decided to do an inhumane act and that is to burn all the children that exhibit special abilities.

"The world's stage is immense, far beyond what you can imagine. What you know of the world is merely the tip of the iceberg! "If you're willing to venture into The Dark World, I assure you, your future accomplishments will dwarf anything you could achieve here in Rackaham! "I could put in a good word for you with the Elder Council of the Shadow Demon Shrine. It's only there that you'll grasp the true expanse of our world and the true might of its most powerful beings!"

He already knew the obvious culprit behind this, "she is always thwarting my plans! A young goddess who stole my world, and now she dares interfere again in my designs to create a new one!" He then laughed, a sound like shattering glass and said to Charlotte, "but it doesn't matter, he is only a mere insect from anothet world. We will simply just have to kill him." "Another world?" Charlotte questioned, her mind racing. She understood only fragments of his divine rant, but she was a master at extracting information and turning it into leverage. It was how she survived.

She sobbed into Ben's shoulders. "Ma, we are not the ones doing it but God and as the doctor said before that we should help humanity, we are only lending a hand out and we just want to make the world a better place." She didn't know what to tell the old woman anymore. She just wanted her to stop getting emotional every time. She's thanked them countless times and she felt she didn't deserve the thanks anymore. "Thank you so much." She smiled and stopped sobbing. "Thank God." Ben said and that moment, Ademide whined, the sound their voices made woke her up from sleep.

How absurd! I cannot fathom just how insane these people are that they would do such a thing. Ten Million souls. That is seriously not a small number at all. And they said that they are destroyers of worlds? Does that mean that there are other worlds besides our own that we do not have a single idea of? And if what she said is true… Then does that mean that Galahad too, a long time back, was responsible for the death of Ten Million lives!

He walked closer to her and noticed her swollen sad eyes, cracked lips and a pale face longing for her daughter’s warmth. George put his arms, silently requesting for a hug. She was a bit hesitant so he pulled her in his arms and gave her a gentle squeeze, the comfort she felt was a relief from everything else she was feeling till that point, it felt like the universe itself was telling her that everything was going to be okay.

TimTim’s fingers trembled slightly as she clutched the little food carrier against her chest. The glass walls of Aariz’s towering empire loomed around her, shimmering like sharp-edged mirrors, reflecting not only her fragile figure but also the gap between their worlds. For a girl who had always lived in simplicity, who thought love was as pure as laughter shared on rainy evenings, she had never imagined the kind of wealth, power, and darkness Aariz walked in every day.

Her eyes nearly popped. “I know this company,” she said. “Essence, this is the second largest company after your husband’s. Do you really think we can do this? This project would be massive. Like… legendary.... for us.” I tried to breathe, but my chest felt like it had turned into a balloon and someone was blowing air into it nonstop.
