Everything Comes from Original Creation “So…” I thought back over my own powers, and in my mind the list of abilities rose up and matched itself, one by one, against the things I could actually do. I squeezed the now-silent lump of metal between my fingers absentmindedly, wondering how my powers managed all those things I had no time to think through, could not perceive, and absolutely could not calculate. Yet sometimes they clearly did have limits, and those limits seemed to arrive at…-

A Farewell in a Dream Aqiang was the younger relative closest to our family. His parents had died when he was small, and he was raised by his uncle. Still, apart from school, he was always finding his way to our house—during holidays, festivals, summer breaks, winter breaks, any excuse he could make. My mother loved him with a tenderness that was almost deeper than blood. The best dishes were saved for him first. When the weather changed, she had new clothes ready before he even thought to…-

The Little Shadow in the Hospital Room When my father suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and was rushed into the ICU, the doctors handed us a critical illness notice. Red paper. Black characters. I held it in my hand, and it felt as heavy as a slab of iron. They fought for him for ten hours. Somehow, my father clawed his way back from the edge of death and was moved into a regular ward for observation. During those days, my sister and I took turns staying with him through the night. In the…

The Key in the Shoe Cabinet One summer, sixteen or seventeen years ago, when I was still in high school, I spent a weekend afternoon shopping with my sister and brother-in-law. By the time we headed back to their place, we were carrying half a bag of fresh peaches and a few containers of cold dishes, laughing and talking as we walked. The moment we came through the door, my sister set her heavy key ring on top of the shoe cabinet. I remember it plainly. She had only recently moved into that…

1: The Corpse-Doll Soul-Binding Art Khorat Province lies in the heart of northeastern Thailand, a place shaped by Isan culture, borderland beliefs, and old stories people tell only after lowering their voices. Among its darker legends, one is said to be more terrifying than the Krasue, the flying-head demon whispered about across Thailand. In Isan belief, those who die sudden and violent deaths—by accident, suicide, or murder—leave behind spirits heavy with resentment. Such souls, the old stories…

Mechs and Wands Cheng Rui pushed the metal plate into the opening in the robot’s chest until it fit perfectly against the surrounding armor plates, neatly covering the far more delicate machinery and cables underneath. Then he grunted again and pressed against the robot for several seconds. Nothing happened. He could not help cursing. Then he picked up a two-handed demolition hammer and began pounding the plate with all his strength, until at last it locked into place with a clear metallic…

Controlling and Heating Water As I slowly sank into the wonderful, pine-scented, bubble-filled warmth of the pool, I let stress, worry, and tangled emotions wash away, and relaxed completely. Xia Xinglan had been right. This survivor base, much closer to the city center, did not have hot showers. But they had Cheng Rui’s aunt, and her strange, vague, enormously practical household-magic powers. It took the old woman only a few seconds to provide water and natural herbal shampoo for everyone…

The Little Girl from Another World Unlike me, the knife used by that idiot Yue Xiao had not left fragments inside Cheng Rui’s wound. Clearly, however, the damage it had done went far beyond “only” stabbing him and nearly making him bleed to death. “Feels like I got hit by a train,” he said softly, too exhausted to raise his voice. “Did we get that bastard?” “He disappeared when my fist was halfway through him,” I told him. Chi Li was placing a cloth packed with ice against his…

Arrival at the Underground Base It took us nearly half an hour to reach our destination, and Chi Li moved through those tunnels faster than any normal girl should have been able to—never mind that she was carrying an unconscious person wearing a metal exoskeleton the whole way. If I had not had other things on my mind, the slowness of it would have driven me mad after tasting the freedom and terrifying speed of flight. The narrow, dark tunnel suddenly opened into a vast room flooded with light…

Which One Should I Choose? “Can your healers treat blood infection and poisoning?” I asked. “They can cure anything,” she said, emphasizing the word. “As long as he’s still alive. But it’s too far, and you don’t know the way.” “In that case, I’ll buy us a little more time.” I did not bother explaining. With one hand, I touched Cheng Rui’s wounded side, right beside where Chi Li was trying to hold the gash shut. With the other, I touched the pool of blood on the…
