Just An Illusion Novels & Stories

Unless he doesn’t want to. I stand, stretch stiff legs, and walk to the window. The rain has slowed to a mist, blurring the city lights until they look like drops of molten gold. Cars crawl below, headlights cutting through fog. The world keeps moving while I’m stuck here, pacing an eight-by-ten room that smells like bleach and lilies. My reflection in the glass looks older somehow, dark circles beneath my eyes, hair falling in loose waves. I don’t remember leaving that way. “You look like hell,” I whisper to the glass.

Jane smiled, snapping her fingers. “Yes, Maya. He projected his dreams at her, but it wasn’t a dream; it was just an illusion. He made her think you would harm her mate, which is why she came at you with so much rage. And he also projects his dreams to Odin’s when he wanted to locate him. Those are qualities of illusion. When he learns it well, he can use it to his advantage,” she said, smiling. We all look at her, wondering. “For you to know, this can only mean you’ve been keeping tabs on us even before getting here,” I said. She went quiet, looking at us.

He only talked to Ange once and never to Golden. Suddenly the speech was interrupted. Everyone fell silent with their eyes out of focus as if they were in a trance. Golden was startled, he didn't know why everyone became absent-minded at the same time, but the system replied to him. [A powerful Illusion had been cast in the area.] Golden then understood why he was unaffected. He had the Illusion Immunity Passive Skill. However, Golden didn't understand who and why would cast such illusion in the Penny Clan's Gathering as it wasn't the best time to attack the clan. The illusion will only be effective for some seconds to the powerful members of the clan.

The latter shook his head as if he too didn’t know the answer. “I-I don’t know. My illusions are just made to inflict fear in the minds of the participants. But that t-thing… I think that’s not a product of my illusion. That’s a real thing,” Lotus said in a shaky voice and after hearing his words, I quickly transformed into my angel mode and immediately have my way out of the Dome Magia to the labyrinth just before that danger beast could harm all our team members.

"I can enter the minds of my enemies and create illusions.” "What kinds of illusions?” Deep down, some stubborn part of my human consciousness feared that everything around me was an illusion caused by that strange infernal magic. That he wanted to make me believe that I was not sailing in a sea of fire and going straight to the marble of hell. Although I really believed that there was, yes, some charm to make me see as something beautiful and harmless that dark river and host of bright-eyed creatures that appeared from time to time at random points of the waters, I doubted that it would be powerful enough to shape a world at its pleasure.

And I was forced to watch my fantasy break into a million pieces. Casual sex, orgy parties and drugs… I swallowed hard. Reality was catching up real fast. It's true, what they said: the display screen is merely the window to a world of illusion; a world that only lives in your imagination. Rum is just an ordinary guy, no different from Giles, the male models, actors and singers. I pictured the most beautiful and vibrant version of Rum in my mind and thought sadly, You’re just the same. ***** “I hate what you’re wearing.” Rum swallowed the water in his mouth and exhaled, casting a frown of disapproval at me. “What the fuck is it?”

His words were along the line of him trying to bond with me and I ended up bashing his car. I knew that him being nice to me had to be a result of an external effort. It bothered me but at the same time it did not. What else did I expect from him? His niceness was suspicious from the beginning and it was a good thing I did not get my hopes up too much. Leo only tried to care for or 'love' me because other people had convinced him to try to. Whatever I had seen him do was simply an illusion. It's a good thing I never let my guard down.

His arrival had given her a lot of relief, and now she was not feeling as alone as she had before. "That werewolf, I mean that shadow, must be an illusion of mine," she said, comforting herself. "Yes, I was watching the Geographic Channel on TV, so my eyes must have been deceived. It was an illusion. Just an illusion." The human heart believes everything through the eyes, but in the end, when one closes those eyes to look at something, the brain will make up a story and believe whatever that story is. The brain tries to convince the heart, but the heart will not listen. It keeps saying that what has happened is what was meant to happen.

Red suddenly stood up. "Trap, right." She said so we looked at her. "What if we found them earlier but we just didn't see them?" She asked so I frowned. “Illusion.” Cloud said so we looked at him. “Ice has the power to create an illusion, like an image manipulator.” Star said. “How can we find a creature if it doesn’t want to show up to us?” Shadow asked. “Signal.” Red said. "They are aware that by school is the theme of the game, right? For sure, they are also looking for us." Star said.

She said she was horrified, and suddenly the old tree showed its eyes and mouth. "Illusion tree?" Nara said slowly. An illusion tree where the victim will feel the illusion of life that the victim wants to feel. Then the tree will manifest and refuse to return to the real world. Even that person will die, and at that moment the illusion trees will absorb the energy of their victims.
