OBD Drama - Pre-GetBackers Deception / Post-GetBackers Deception
I posted this on my Facebook page, but I've seen some comments while searching the net, and figured it was better to just do it here:
Okay, I know that it has been a while since I talked about this, but it's only because I really didn't care for a while. I am basically a celebrity online in the VS. Forums for "Wanking" GetBackers back in 2009. There are some that know the truth about the situation and then there are others that simply make up stories. This is the story behind it. I am sure some are going to interpret it their way, but oh well, at least it's out.
I basically put GetBackers in the light in 2009, (although another poster was basically its expert since 06/07) and at first, I was going off of information already present there. However, I got my hands on the manga volumes that were not translated and tried to get my hands on some translations. I had a few friends that helped me out and gave me some information on what was going on. Before I posted anything new, I always went and either asked the Battledome Questions or a few members and then I brought the feat to the table. They would confirm it, so I would bring it in a debate. GetBackers got powerful pretty quick, but it definitely wasn't just "me" that was boosting it up. However, I will admit that I "wanked" Ban Mido. Hell, I outright admitted that. And the only thing I wanked was his destructive capability. I said that only 4 characters in GetBackers should have been considered Universals+ and with reason at that. I said nothing about a cast full of Galaxy Busters, so I have no idea where that came from. Also, I was not the only one bringing up them being Faster than Light. But I did continuously promote them. And I did not have all of the feats or the evidence, so I was in the wrong for acting like I knew what I was talking about. But again, I even admitted that.
Then, the Deception Thread came and basically debunked a few things that I had brought up. That week prior to the thread, I became ill, and basically didn't get online for a while. Days later when I come back on the forums, GB is getting bashed. So by the time I reply, everyone had already made up their minds that I was a liar. When I tried to explain my situation, very few cared. The whole basis of the GetBackers Deception Thread was literally debunking 2 claims: that they were Faster than Light and that there were Universal+ level characters. Everything else that dealt with their feats was just downplayed after that. The thread debunked things when the manga wasn't even translated, and I think like only 1 person came on there with a translation or 2. And yet, people say that I left after that? I am pretty sure if you look down the rest of the year after that thread, you will see that I was still very much active. I even admitted that I handled the backlash immaturely to forums. I got like 2 negs for it, but a lot of other people basically gave me their respect for admitting my immaturity. And then I decided to do what this thread stated that I didn't do; get all of the feats to back up my claims.
A poster named Greed, Shusui, and I got together and created the GetBackers Scanlation group. We finished every Volume from 28 to 39 that was not translated. When we came back with feats, which in fact not only proved everything that I said, (not including Ban Mido wanking on my part) but the feats made them out to be stronger than what I had said or what was previously posted prior to 2009; the OBD didn't want to hear it. In fact, every feat was getting downplayed, while at the same time, other mangas that either had the same feat or lesser feat was taken as legit. Me, Greed, Lord Raizen and a few other posters continuously gave the forums feats when they asked for them, but the forums didn't care. They hated GetBackers and their mind was already set. Funny thing is, when new posters would come, that would read GetBackers, they would state that the characters in the manga seem more powerful than what OBD makes them out to be. Then, OBD shows them the Deception Thread. I saw the posters defending GB getting tired of OBD just outright dismissing every feat and soon they just stopped.
I left in 2011, way after that Deception Thread, so anyone that claims that I just left because of it is just making up their own story of the situation. I have been writing stories since I was a little child, and writing books since I was a little teen. I have posted my stuff in newspaper articles and school paper articles. I did not publish because of the OBD's actions. While I did want to put some of my work in the VS Forums, it was not published. I did not decide to publish my work until I finished reading a Daniel X book, and then my mom basically said that I have no excuse for not publishing my work. That is when I decided to publish my work. It had nothing to do with the OBD. If anything, Narutoforums made me not want to publish my work because I did stop writing for a while after that whole GetBackers mess.
But for clarification one more time, I did not leave because of the Deception Thread, nor did OBD kick me out, while it did seem like they tried. But if I posted in a thread that had nothing to do with GetBackers, it was business as usual to them. The regulars at that time pretty much stopped caring about me, and some did still try to debate with GetBackers, but the posters were becoming simply too ignorant and OBD was dying. I left near the end of the year in 2011. I did come back in 2012 for a few months, but it just wasn't the same as it was when I was lurking in 07/08 and joined in 09. So yeah, I just left it alone completely.
As for my stories, their levels of powers, and different structure; I simply wanted to put out there something different. I am not interested in the same old, same old literature that is out. It really is that simple. It's what I have always been writing about.

Fan Fiction Problem
Someone recently brought to my attention that because I included Fan Fiction in my story, it does not seem right. I know what Fan Fiction is and I am well-aware that some could write a story including my work. At the same time, I already created the idea. Even if you write a Fan Fiction about my work, I have already included it in my work. In fact, you can only write about it because I have already dictated that you would and could. I created that possibility for you. So no matter what you think, you might as well state that I am that equation above God that has simply allowed you to write that story. Even if you try to write something that states that it was done before me, the fact remains that the thought and possibility came from me to even allow that. In essence, you have already become part of my work without you even knowing it because I created it... not you.

Another Step Forward
So I have been through a vast amount of pages on the web as in regards to my work, and I must say that I am impressed about where I am right now. My goal has never been to seek a vast audience.
However, the only real problem I have is that people that have some understanding of the concepts that I describe have a VERY LIMITED mindset. They don't think outside of the cosmic web and merely drown a transfictional concept into a logical frame, which will not work under any theory of possibility. They are too busy using real world logic to judge my stories, when that logic would be applicable. All definitions are not the same, especially when dealing with higher levels. They don't consider the alternate possibilities that I am writing about.
I can take the mockery and jokes, and hell, I laugh at a lot of the hate that I get. However, a closed mind is one thing that gets to me. But rest assure, I make people think.
And while my reach of audience isn't vast, it's come quite a way pretty fast, and I'm impressed. It's been 3 years since I started publishing my work, and 1 year since people took notice of it. Let's see how I look after a decade.

Almost at 70
So, I based on the information that I have just received, I have sold exactly 69 books. Although to some people, that's not a lot, but I definitely want to say thank you to that have taken the time to actually order one of my books online or downloaded it from the store.

A Different Ladder
When one steps into almighty concepts… that is the ultimate. It is the grand stage. But what if that was only the beginning?
There are plenty of fan fictions out there that talks about beings that are above Omnipotence, or beings that destroy infinite Omniverses+?^, and there are even some fictions that try to portray many all-powerful beings, but my stories incorporate all of those small scale concepts. I have an ensemble that contains a world of beings that exist beyond THE ALL (see my Cosmic Hierarchy), which is already above All, and above The All. However, they interact in the same way as you and me. The only difference is that they are above THE ALL, in their own level of THE ALL. To us, they are the be-all, end-all.
While there are some that say that true Omnipotence cannot be proven, only disproved, the characters in my story simply ignore it. This concept is simply based off of principle that even with everything in an Omniverse being part of The All; it is possible that other things exist outside of The All. For example, The All may be just like us on its personal level of actuality, with its own The All above it. However, other beings that would be part of that greater All would have no difficulty interacting with us as one would have here entering the dreams of others.
So while we create laws, definitions, and interpretations, it all becomes mute in the face of those who exist on a higher level than that of The All.

Hierarchy
This will probably be one of my longest posts. I want to discuss the cosmic hierarchy within my entire ensemble of stories.
The Universe
The Universe is all of reality. It is an infinite span of space and time; all forms of matter, energy and momentum, and the physical laws and constants that govern them. It is everything that exists, has existed, and will exist. It is an infinite refrain…
The Metaverse
The Metaverse is the collection of multiple possible universes that together encompass everything that physically exists: the entirety of space and time, all forms of matter, energy and concepts, and the physical laws and constants that govern them. Every universe within the Metaverse is absolutely endless and it is so infinite that it repeats in endless refrains. The various universes within the Metaverse are sometimes called parallel universes, alternative universes, timescapes, quantum universes, interpenetrating dimensions, parallel dimensions, worldscripts, parallel worlds, alternative realities, and alternative timelines. The Metaverse is infinite, but there are infinite amounts of Metaverses. Every possibility and impossibility exists in some form in other universes. Each universe in the Metaverse exists on a different vibrational frequency, but occupies the same space.
Now, I will get into the Higher Realities…
The Teraverse is a level of reality that encompasses all infinite Metaverses…
The Petaverse is a level of reality that is infinitely infinite and houses an infinitely infinite amount of all Teraverses.
The Exaverse houses multiple transfinite Teraverses.
The Zettaverse is the greater levels of infinity… It is the concept of infinity that encompasses all transfinite numbers. It is virtually an infinite number of Omniverses.
Outside of the Continuum
This is the level of infinity that exists without time and space. Some species and Deities confuse this as being outside of time and space, but those are merely lower dimensional concepts. The True Space-time Continuum is outside of the dimensions of time and space; the lower dimensional concepts.
The End of Infinity
It is the end of the greatest Infinity. It is the end of the concept of an infinity that transcends all transfinite number systems. The Cardinality comes to an end, and the absolutely infinite multiplicity of all transfinite states end.
The Interdimensional Rift.
The Interdimensional Rift is a level of reality that exists within and outside of the Omniverse. It is connected to every single form of reality, and it exists within and outside of Space-time Continuum. The passage of time does not exist within the rift and it is transfinite in all states. It is an eternal prison. It is the embodiment of vacuum, completely void of matter, energy, space-time, reality, and systems.
"Some say that it is the home of Chaos herself.”
- Tiffany Winters
All of the former completes the structure known as The Omniverse.
The Omniverse
The Omniverse is the collection of all possible Universes, with all possible laws of physics. Everything ranging from all of fiction, all of transfiction, all of fanfiction, all of personal fiction, all of impersonal fiction, as well as real life is within The Omniverse. This all depends on the reality that you exist in and what you see as fiction and reality. It is the collection of every single Universe, Metaverse, Teraverse, Petaverse, Exaverse, and Zettaverse; every timeline, reality, dimension (alternate, micro, virtual, or pocket) and realm. Every form of existence ever mentioned or seen (and the transfinite multiplicity amount never mentioned, seen, or even conceived of yet…) are within The Omniverse.
All modes of possibility and actuality are in play. All modes of existence and nonexistence are in play.
Outside of The Omniverse is THE ALL.
THE ALL is that of an Absolute Reality, and transcends names and terms and essence. It is unknowable as it is an all-encompassing force above all others. There can be Nothing existing outside of THE ALL; else, THE ALL would not be THE ALL. There is nothing else to define, confine, bound, limit or restrict THE ALL. It has always continuously existed, for there is nothing else to have ever created it... If it had ever 'not been,' even for a moment, it would not 'be' now. But THE ALL has sub-levels. There is All, then there is The All, and then you have THE ALL which encompasses the former two. THE ALL is the Grand Principle of Creation. THE ALL is a union between Nothing and All Possibility, the ultimate opposites, and the nature of that union is without beginning or end for these two opposites automatically and simultaneously create each other.
Outside of THE ALL exists Regions.
Regions
There are Absolute Infinite amounts of THE ALL. Each ‘THE ALL’ is confined within outer-transfinite planes. Once entering into the Regions, the levels of trans-possibility and meta-actuality opens up the door to new truths.
Cardinalities
Outside of all Regions, there is a transfinite amount of planes known as Cardinalities. The Cardinalities possess an Absolute Aleph-All amount of continuum extra-dimensional shifts. Encompassing this, the Ultimate Truth is only the beginning to a greater concept. The Cardinalities are higher systems of existences far beyond the parameters of Existence (the complete ensemble of all that exists).
The Allscape is the total sum of everything that I have mentioned; the complete collection of everything that I have told you about.
Outside of The Allscape, is The Mainfold.
The Mainfold is the system outside of everything that encompasses The Allscape.
- Endless Blessings: These glimmers that resemble stars are infinities on top of infinities of Allscapes.
- Midlight's Deep: This is where potentiality and actuality are created.
- The Road to Tomorrow: The endless road that guides to the Art Gallery
- The Alphaverse: The First Existence
- The Omegaverse: The Last Existence
- The Rabbit Hole: This is where the Truths are created.
* The Art Gallery
The Road to Tomorrow is the only road that can reach The Art Gallery. It is here...The Ace of Spades resides within this sanctum, arting creation. However, his 'Will' is outside of The Art Gallery, for everything is caused by The Ace of Spades.

Quick Thanks
I know it's early in my journey, but I definitely want to say thank you to all that have purchased my books so far. I definitely appreciate the support.

Thoughts under the Morning Star
People say that they want something different, but then you realize that they only want the same stuff over and over again. There are too many opinions on what literature is, and people have forgotten what literature really is.
I learn a lot through my own work. If one needs a better understanding, think of it as self-teaching and self-motivation. What would is the point of writing for anyone other than myself? I don't write for the masses because there are too many expectations and opinions. I love criticism, but they can keep the ignorance, especially if they don't understand the work.
I have come to realize that there is too much emphasis on what "real" writing is. "Real" writing needs to step into the boundaries of "Imaginary" writing, and beyond. I don't want to fit into the normal category. I want to be in a category of my own; at the very least, a category that only a handful are in.
Contrary to what some may think, my stories aren't simply about power. There really is a story behind the books, but I am telling the story in a very different way. My stories are like a puzzle that must be put together. I love writing these stories, because I am piecing the grand puzzle myself together.

Imagination...
For me, I see the best sense of imagination, in the applications of capability. Imagination teaches, and help you reconfigure something simple into something extraordinary.
I have had people tell me that my stories (the bits that they see) goes over their head, it's too difficult to imagine, it would be difficult to understand even with a dictionary next to them, it gave them a headache, and other things. I have even received a negative review, where the person said that one of my stories was uncomfortable and wholly undesirable. To me, I love all feedback. Regardless of if it is positive or negative, I simply want you to acknowledge that it is imaginative. My goal is not to be someone that is known for imagination, but to be looked at as imagination. I want you to say that this story is imaginative, or "this story is imagination" and mean it. If it's too complicated to read, I shall make it even more complicated. If the characters seem too powerful, I will make them even more powerful. If they seem uninteresting, I'll laugh and truly show you just how far my imagination can carry them. The point is to carry imagination onwards. If one cannot truly imagine what is not relative to them, then it is time to open up their minds. While my characters are deeply important to me, my stories are not conventional. They are meant to express imagination, and about how those who should not be able to be related to, explores possibility and the worlds beyond. Since I have no limits, there can be no limits to my writing.
"People won't see Imagination in something that doesn't relate to their experience because of their own mental limitations. I want people to escape the expected and ordinary, to escape the regular expectations of a story, and truly step into a different world of literature."
- Lionel C. Suggs
I am not limited by a human sense of imagination, for I truly understand applications such as omnipotence, and perfection, as well as their weaknesses. I have a lofty attitude, but I am not bound by the shackles of this universal gravity. My stories aren't about what one expects, and my work will continue to expand, until I reach the end of my imagination.
"My imagination truly works best when I leave the story up to the imagination."

I have had people tell me that my stories (the bits that they see) goes over their head, it's too difficult to imagine, it would be difficult to understand even with a dictionary next to them, it gave them a headache, and other things. I have even received a negative review, where the person said that one of my stories was uncomfortable and wholly undesirable. To me, I love all feedback. Regardless of if it is positive or negative, I simply want you to acknowledge that it is imaginative. My goal is not to be someone that is known for imagination, but to be looked at as imagination. I want you to say that this story is imaginative, or "this story is imagination" and mean it. If it's too complicated to read, I shall make it even more complicated. If the characters seem too powerful, I will make them even more powerful. If they seem uninteresting, I'll laugh and truly show you just how far my imagination can carry them. The point is to carry imagination onwards. If one cannot truly imagine what is not relative to them, then it is time to open up their minds. While my characters are deeply important to me, my stories are not conventional. They are meant to express imagination, and about how those who should not be able to be related to, explores possibility and the worlds beyond. Since I have no limits, there can be no limits to my writing.
"People won't see Imagination in something that doesn't relate to their experience because of their own mental limitations. I want people to escape the expected and ordinary, to escape the regular expectations of a story, and truly step into a different world of literature."

As a Writer...
As a writer, I do not write for anyone other than myself. My books are all about thinking outside of the box. It introduces something new; something I have rarely seen; something literature apparently has forgotten. I could care less if people cannot relate to my characters, don't like the characters, or find the elements in my story ludicrous; oh well. I'm not changing anything. I am not going to write the way that everyone likes or what is considered the norm. Nope. I am indifferent and not only outside of the box, but outside of the Ultimate Ensemble.
Criticism is expected. Negativity is expected. However, if you cannot think outside of the box, then the story and elements incorporated within the series will seem insane. However, if you cannot think outside of the box, then you can easily go pick up another book instead of this series.
For me, literature offers an escape: from life. My stories introduces you to new worlds of experience, with less rules and less boundaries.
A good book never reveals all of their secrets at once. I sure as hell don't. My series is a whole conglomerate. If you are looking for Naruto, go read a manga. If you are looking for Twilight, go watch a movie. If you want to see Superman, pick up a comic. But if you want to truly see imagination, and creativity explode, then my story is where it truly starts.
