Invent And Wander Novels & Stories

Shaking my head, I add, “Unknowingly, I arrived here seeking answers, but it seems you only wish to hurt me with your cruel words.” His gaze flickers to the book in my hand, the pages worn and yellowed with age. “Open it. Innovar is a name for the creator. The one creature that made us all. The Soulmaker, Soulmender, and Soulkeeper are its descendants. There’s a chapter about the Soulkeeper, who is said to haunt the dreams of those cursed or carrying poison with them.”

Emma gazed longingly at the travelog, where the author recounted a road trip taken on a whim. The writer, a lone wolf at heart, had taken the wheel, blazing across the desert, and had soaked in the raw beauty of the landscapes of the plains. The mere thought of such breathtaking vistas stirred a deep envy in Emma. She thought, 'What if, one day, I could break free and embark on such an adventure? Can I afford to wait for that day to come? If not, it's up to me to seize it.'

Lira asked, her defiance crumbling into confusion. "You don't erase the old canvas," Elara said. "You find a new one." And so, they designated a part of the Weave as the "Wild Garden," a place intentionally left unmapped and unregulated, a frontier for true exploration and unpredictable creation. The Unwritten, their energy now channeled constructively, became its most passionate pioneers.

Hi, intruder. A shiver runs down my spine. Yesterday, when I left, I realised I hadn't given him my number, and it stung. Seeing him again would have taken extra effort, too much risk. And I'd already used up my yearly quota of recklessness. I hadn't been thinking with my brain. So how did he get my number? I type back. How did you get my number, mystery man? Then I wait. Let's just say mystery man has his ways.

With a single thought, the runes could shape raw essence into nearly anything: magical arrays, invisible pouches, endless spaces, swords, enchanted houses hidden in pocket realms, forests that grew themselves in minutes, traps, safe sanctuaries where time bent slower than reality, and even Siphons. I didn't know what to make but I knew I needed to make something he would like. Something profitable. Something that could fetch me more than his down payment. I smiled at the Space of Wonder like it was a dare. I’d decided to make a trap. Not the slow, petty thing I first imagined that would turn anyone into ash. It was so crude and destructive. I wanted to create something profitable and clever.

Vara’s parents stood at the docks, watching boats go out, knowing that soon, they’d return with fresher catches and lighter nets—not from the strength of arms, but from the strength of their daughter’s mind. Now housed in the same sprawling campus as Roland and Rina, Vara had a lab of her own. Her workstation was by a glass wall overlooking a garden pond. Every day, she met with scientists, engineers, and aquamancers to refine her invention. And every night, she sat under her desk lamp, sketching new ideas. New shapes. New nets. Because for Vara, this was just the beginning. If the sea was her lullaby, then invention was her anthem. And the world, finally, was listening.

she stated. “I thought so, too,” he shook his head as he waited for Izzy to get into the passenger’s side seat of the car and close the door behind her. Then Owen walked around to have his seat behind the wheel. “What do you have in mind? I mean, how do you want to spend the getaway?” Asked Owen. “Since it’s almost summer, let’s try swimming at a place nearby for anything fun. I wanted to try Airsoft games or hunt with a real hunting rifle, but I didn’t have anyone to drag with me. I don’t even know where to go,” she frowned in disappointment.

Eventually, when the natural peaks seemed to dwindle, I began the arduous task of forging new ones. Creating my own mountains of knowledge was a slow and sometimes painful process, fraught with the trials and errors inherent in any act of creation. Yet, despite the challenges, this journey of discovery and invention brought a profound sense of fulfillment, each new peak a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit to learn, grow, and transcend. Upon reaching Babel and delving into their expansive internet, I was immediately struck by the vast, inviting mountains of knowledge that lay before me. The technology and wisdom housed within this digital realm were light-years ahead of our
