Chapter XX – Gulliver of Mars
Chapter XX brings the protagonist back into the heart of Martian civilization, only to find himself more disconnected than ever. While the people burst into celebration at the return of Princess Heru, he feels a strange distance from their joy. Their enthusiasm seems shallow, focused on flowers, music, and pageantry rather than the looming reality of conflict. The protagonist, once hailed as a savior, is now barely acknowledged. His concerns about the enemy remain unspoken by the crowd, swallowed in the…-

Chapter XVIII – Gulliver of Mars
Chapter XVIII opens with an unforgiving sun bearing down on a land parched to its core. The heat, searing and suffocating, leaves no creature untouched. Trees wilt, soil cracks, and the air hangs thick with stillness. Every movement is an effort; every breath feels borrowed. Heru, usually poised, now rests with hollow eyes and cracked lips, her royal composure worn thin by the unrelenting drought. The protagonist, too, is drained, body aching and mind dulled by the monotony of thirst. Even animals stagger…-

Chapter XVII – Gulliver of Mars
Chapter XVII begins with the stirring sight of Ar-hap’s return, his army trailing behind like the weary wind. The land remains gripped by drought, and overhead, a bright comet cuts through the dusty sky like a warning. As the gates open and the soldiers trudge in, the air thickens with tension, not celebration. The once-proud forces now limp into their city with hollow eyes and scorched armor. Among them, rumors spread like dry brushfire—of the stranger who dared to claim Heru, the captive princess.…-

Chapter XV – Gulliver of Mars
Chapter XV begins with a confession that strips away pride and pretense, as the protagonist recounts the entirety of his journey to a woman whose hardened exterior conceals a warm heart. His tale of otherworldly arrival, unspoken devotion, and the hazards faced alongside Heru is received not with skepticism but with compassion. Her expression softens, her emotions breaking through the surface as she pledges her support with conviction that stuns him. This act of trust and kindness, given so freely,…-

Chapter XIX – Gulliver of Mars
Chapter XIX opens with tension concealed beneath the quiet hush of a Martian morning.

The war-canoe of their pursuers cuts through the fog like a shadow of fate. Yet, luck favors the bold.

Chapter XIV – Gulliver of Mars
Chapter XIV begins with a tranquil moment of companionship as the protagonist, weary from his travels, accepts the hospitality of a Martian woodman whose simple generosity offers a welcome reprieve.

Chapter XIII – Gulliver of Mars
Chapter XIII opens as Gulliver descends from the icy highlands into a world both familiar and starkly different. The land is rough, clothed in pines and dark foliage that recall Earth’s primeval forests, though everything here feels exaggerated, as if nature on Mars is more ancient and more deliberate. Small villages dot the terrain, their people weathered but welcoming in a cautious way. Here, society values clarity and identity, so introductions matter more than in the ceremonial courts of the richer…-

Chapter XII – Gulliver of Mars
Chapter XII begins with a haunting stillness that blankets the icy Martian landscape. Gulliver, stranded in this frozen terrain, struggles to survive the biting cold by building a modest fire, unaware that his small flame will awaken more than just warmth. Nearby, encased in a sheet of ancient ice, rests a towering figure clad in regal grey, a circlet of gold bearing strange markings fixed around his head. Though motionless, the figure evokes a presence of immense dignity, as if royal authority had been…-
