> Fascinated by the rituals and horrific witchcraft of magic, Medivh’s thirst for the greater power ahead never wanes; unable to obtain the success he has imagined with the materials able to find in his original forest, Medivh takes pilgrimage to a flashy city, notable for it’s showstars, stage preformers, and of course, magicians. Medivh is after much more power than a few magic tricks, and as so, after meeting and recounting with his setting and past within the beginning, takes a short refuge with a woman similar to him. Immediately he is attracted to her, but she is a complete lunatic, unable to realize she has actually been killing herself mere days before his arrival by injecting gold into her bloodstream in order to complete a ritual.
> After 3 days, she dies to Medivh’s shock and annoyance, yet he takes this opportunity to steal her apartment for his own along with use her things. Without a test subject, Medivh recruits the neighbor across the woman’s to assist, who is a laid off mentally handicapped construction worker. As Medivh slowly drives deeper into lunacy and bloodlust, the worker finds himself more and more deformed mentally and physically, yet finds Medivh his “only friend.” As the experiments reach a high point, Medivh feels that magic has betrayed him, and that perhaps he wasn’t trying hard enough. He recalls speaking to an old friend of his, who happened to be a doctor, mocking the idea of magic as something just to replace hard work and reality as fantasy.
>Filled in vengence for success, Medivh subjects himself to the same attempt of magic as the previous woman, injecting gold into his veins and beliving himself to be “stronger than any planet, dead and cold in space lying there”. Fudd, the mentally handicapped test subject, finds his friend dead the next morning, crying in mourning over "veins, begging for royalties coated in blood to be all theirs."

Now that's what I call a TWEEEEEST.

[Anonymous No.1801599]

A chemistry student in 1890's New England is drawn into a string of murders of wealthy socialites. The victims are killed by numerous small cuts to their limbs, resulting in death by exsanguination. Aided by his mentor, the Jewish lecturer Herschel Marxow (a Communist), he is compelled to investigate when a young woman - the daughter of a local pharmaceutical magnate - with whom he is obsessed, becomes the latest victim.

Through a series of twists and turns, and thanks in part to the machinations of the Yellow Press, the student succumbs to anti-Semitic sentiment and begins to suspect Marxow of the murders as some act of radicalism. In the denouement, it is revealed through investigation that there is no killer. The pharmaceutical magnate has been manufacturing high-grade cocaine; the deaths are the result of self-inflicted wounds brought on by formication (the delusion of insects crawling under the skin, a frequent symptom of cocaine psychosis).

Uestryr His.

A criminal mastermind with a cleft palate disorder and a speech impediment builds a massive tower, only to find his brother building an identical one across the city. He gathers up every demolitions expert in town to destroy his brother's tower. The twist is he has no brother, and he's not a criminal mastermind. He's just a homeless man who screams incomprehensible orders at people and then assumes things were done due to his orders.

Owsess Classical

Modern day horror set in 'romantical habidashery' era of the roaring twenties. Amidst a class clash between the low and high, the poor and rich, the sober and drunk, three young men take to the country to build a tower to come closer to the star of Bethlehem - they find the perfect spot using a star-locating procedure passed down generation to generation and learned by one of smart lad of the trio. Little do they know they are not the first to try such a feat - 2000 years ago a man called Owsess attempted a similar building, and failed, and was highly scorned by his high-brow community. He made certain that nobody else would ever have to go through such shame and so he booby trapped the exact spot that is the most perfect for gazing at the star of Bethlehem - on his deathbed he foolishly told his young, foot-rotten cousin, that the perfect spot for gazing at the star of Bethlehem is 'such and such' sadly, and foolishly, Owsess passed away before he could share the distressing news that he had booby trapped such spot. Owsess Classical, the groundbreaking novel by young 4chan writer, explores the traps of classical thought when 'stumbled upon' by youth trapped in gaudy vortex of modernity.

In stores soon. Also available online.

I'd just like to say this is the best one in the thread.

[Anonymous No.1801635]

An emotionless, overtly-rational young man is starting his carrer as a judge. Not that he cares very much, as he knows he will be a good judge but never a great one. He has no passion for the law, and only went to law school for lack of a better option.

He loves philosophy, but lacks humanity. Loves music, and in fact plays very busily, but prefers to study the logic of music theory behind a classical piece than to perform it. Loves cinema and literature, but lacks the imagination to write something of his own.

He always believed that a man should live only for himself. For if a man can achieve happiness in loneliness, then is he truly free. What does it matter if his lover left? He was content alone before her, and he will continue to be content after her. In the end, he knows he has lost nothing, because no one can ever add anything to anyone else.

But lately, he feels the need to test if his ability for withstanding solitude is really a product of his own self-sustaining intelect or an excuse for social fear and insecurity.

So he embarks on a lifelong plan: to form an intense loving relationship with someone, preferably one which results in children and 20 years from that day, see if he would be able to put his hat on, walk the door, and never look back again.

> ingroju from

"Ingroju, From" is a novella detailing the life of a Japanese sailor, who is a mute, being detached from his town and life when his ship gets destroyed in a storm. As he floats around the rubble of his ship, he's able to grab on hold to a box, swimming himself west till he finds a small island of unknown origins. With nothing to his name, he looks inside the box to find only two materials: a brush and a bounty of ink bottles.

The story continues on through the format of letters he writes to his wife while slowly deteriorating mentally.

End twist? He never had a wife, he's referencing to himself in all the letters.

My story's set in this dystopian future where war with Israel who have become a superstate with Russia has completely ravaged America. Because the economy and infrastructure was crippled, all corporations were dissolved and handed over to the state, and all corporate outputs was turned to food and arms. As such, the USA began to notice a 40% increase in suicides across the country and decided to combat this through distributing stimulation drugs. Happiness becomes artificial, and everyone becomes blind to the grey, austere war-ravaged world around them. Anyway, the main character is a munitions worker whose personal "happy drug" distribution unit breaks, but once he stops taking the drugs, he starts to see the world for how it really is, but everyone else is too doped up to see it. He then goes on a pilgrimage cross country to find the last real pleasure, until he realised it's all too ephemeral and returns back home to work in the factory and remains on the drugs.

Of course. It would be written in the 1st person and would mostly be concerned with his philosophy of deriving strenght from solitude and rejection/fear of depending on others as a way to achieve ultimate freedom.
