Broken Wheel, Part One: Seizing the Seven Luminaries

This story is the opening chapter of the novel Duan Lun. Although my plans for Duan Lun make it different from traditional fantasy novels, I chose to begin with a traditional world of righteous and demonic factions.

In addition to fantasy elements, this story also features mystery and conspiracy. As the protagonist is drawn into other people's schemes, he gradually uncovers the truth. I hope readers find some enjoyment in it. I should also mention that Duan Lun is an expansive story about searching for the beginning and end of the universe, and even what comes after. Its overall structure will be built up through one story and chapter after another, with a puzzle-solving feel. Fantasy and adventure remain its most important elements, and I hope you'll enjoy it.

The chapter "Seizing the Seven Luminaries" tells the story of Ye Ziyao, nicknamed Yezi, a middle school girl from central Taiwan. Through a twist of fate, she is caught up in a massacre that wipes out her family, and by a stroke of misfortune, she embarks on the path of cultivation. But in truth, all of this is the scheme of a conspirator, meant to carry out a plan to seize control of Earth.

This story focuses on how the conspirator's schemes succeed, and how Yezi is manipulated into gradually stepping into another fantasy world, where she grows stronger, before finally uncovering the truth behind the plot to seize the Seven Luminaries.
