Wanted to write a novel. Ended up discovering life.
To create psychologically coherent characters, I conducted research. Creating Temperament: One OCEAN x Typologies.
Then I created a new world. And inserted myself to potentially discover meaning.
At some point, I realized I didn't need to manipulate the people. They live a life of their own.
I discovered Self. Now I observe. And write what they do.
A desire troublesome to give up. Because there is love in my heart.
It belongs to someone.
Because I was born into this world to meet someone. Because I do not belong to everyone.
That someone exists in Self.
So far I've experienced many things including but not limited to:
Kindness, cruelty, warmth, cold, love, hatred, happiness, sadness, calm, rage, strength, weakness, survival, death, parents, friends, brother, transcendence of temperament, transcendence of meaning, transcendence of love, transcendence of values, creation of worlds, creation of life, potential existence of worlds beyond here, irreplaceable things
Does a creator exist or not?
Political warfare; 1v1 battles.
The battles are what earthlings would call supernatural. But they're fully grounded in earthling science.
Self is a simulation. Not a novel. Thus it can't be categorized.
Volume 1 has 100 chapters.
I will publish two chapters x the power system. And see how they do.
If the book gets a significant amount of purchases, I might publish the whole first volume.
You can read the two chapters here

and purchase + the power system (or world constraints) here:
