pumping soap

After reading the upteenth Chinese cultivation novel, tired of the repetitive cliches, I thought to create a fan-fic of a cultivation world I would prefer. I then realized that would be a great disservice to both you and me because a.) I don't nearly have enough imagination juice to put forth a decent cohesive story. b.) It would be a waste of both your and my time aka life. So apologies to both @KingofEveryone and @whydoineedanamerly, no story from me. Also an apology about the title, it was literally the first thing I saw when I was thinking of a title. You may be thinking, "So.. if this isn't a fan-fic, what is it?" I dunno.

Marium never believed in miracles. Living in the shadows of poverty, her life was nothing but endless struggles and loneliness. Every day was a battle for survival, and every night a silent prayer for escape. On the other side of the city lives Abhan Mehar — the silent heir of a billion-dollar empire. To the world, he is cold, powerful, and untouchable. But behind the walls of wealth and luxury hides a broken man, scarred by secrets he can never reveal. Two souls. One drowning in despair. One suffocating in silence. When fate collides their worlds, a single heartbeat connects them. But can love truly heal wounds carved by life itself? Or will destiny tear them apart before they can even begin?

"In a world where love defies death and soap defies rain, follow two sisters through supernatural trials in a gripping tale of sacrifice, resilience, and unwavering sisterhood."

In the world, it is said everyone is born with a destiny—every step, word, and blow already written by God Almighty, whose grace ensures nothing strays from His plan. Once, fifty-one Sakti Peeths—organs of a goddess who burned herself—held the worst horrors beneath Aryavart, now India. During colonization, the British dismantled them, unleashing terrors upon the world. In answer, nations united to form HANDPUMP Hunt, Arbitrate, Neutralize, Delimit, Protect, Underwrite, Monitor, and Preserve. Their creed: "Neutralize the threat, preserve the world." Rudra, fifteen, a serial killer fresh out of his 2-year isolation jail, was already weary of life’s predictability and prophesied to die before he reaches 21. He longed for something raw, uncertain. That yearning awakened Bhairava—a sentient dress in the form of his old school uniform, a relic of days he missed. With it, he became a hunter—and discovered he was leaving subconscious checkpoints in the river of time, pulling him back whenever he died. His fight was no longer just against monsters but time itself. Yet he bore the Curse of Cassandra; no one believed his warnings. Still, he roamed, seeking the scattered Shakti Peeths. In a world where every fate is fixed, he would have to become the one thing beyond God’s plan—uncertainty.

Philemon, a pure human, will be exposed to the world that he didn't know existed. With his pet (a Jurassic) accompanying him, he will be out for an adventure and get involved in a Perennial War of Races that are fighting to rule over the planet: The Edge Race (the modified humans), the Draconian Race (the Barbarians), the Warlock Race (the Wizards), and the Untamed Beast Race (the Jurassic).

“Aku sangat mencintaimu, tetapi, bukan salib yang semestinya terletak di atas sejadahmu,” -Imanuel- “Kita tidak seharusnya bersama, aku akan mengakhiri ini semua, demi kebaikan kita, demi kau tetap hidup,” -Naina- *** Naina dan Imanuel memutuskan untuk kawin lari walau perbedaan agama menentang keduanya. Nainalah yang akan mengalah dan ia akan memeluk Kristen demi dia bisa bersama dengan Imanuel. Sebelum itu terjadi keduanya mengalami kecelakaan dan Imanuel meninggal di depan mata Naina. Tak terima kekasihnya tewas Naina pun tak sadarkan diri. Saat Naina membuka matanya lagi, ia ada di dalam kamarnya dan semua luka-luka di tubuhnya menghilang entah ke mana. Tiba-tiba ponselnya berdering dan telepon itu dari Imanuel. Apakah ini mimpi? Ataukah ini peringatan dari Yang Maha Kuasa?

Satu antologi kuno yang terlahir dari aksara-aksara tercecer. Berisi banyak kisah, adapun itu sebatas pengalaman, perjalanan cinta, merasakan kehilangan, di tampar kecewa, di rundung benci, juga berbagai pergulatan hati dan pikiran lainnya, semua terpapar dengan kompleks. Sebuah ketersengajaan jika diberi bentuk yang pragmatis dengan tujuan membebaskan pembaca menafsirkannya dengan hebat. Arkais yang selama ini selalu mengarah kepada hal-hal yang kuno saja, kini hadir dengan pengertian yang baru. Menikmati metafora, alegori ataupun personifikasi bak merasakan angin pantai sembari mengunyah biskuit dan menyeruput kopi hitam. Benar-benar jauh dari istilah kuno, lampau juga usang. Dan sekarang, berilah sedikit waktu pada aksara-aksara yang tak lagi kuno ini untuk mengisi ruang imajimu, dan esok simpanlah ia sebagai peganganmu.
