The Element of Chaos

by Alexander Damian

Naivety and violence... so it usually happens at the beginning... at the time of birth of a race.
Refelden was in no way special. Just another world in infinite space.
He has long lifeless orbiting around its hot sun before gods on it didn't start their game of creation and destruction.
Divine- Nature has descended her two sons on that world where they killed each other in a fighting rage, but... sons of gods are the gods themselves. For them, death is nothing but the time between two lives.
Winner was in that moment caught with sadness knowing that there will be another battle. The defeated will rise again -echoed in his mind. In depth of his mind and with the power bestowed upon him by the parents, the winner is reposed on the other side of the world and the creation started from his soul.
Aisur race was born.
They were so innocent, so young, ignorant. But it was all at the beginning.
The gods gave them the will to live, memory to remember the mistakes and successes, the emotions that drive them on development or ruin and consciousness so they could distinguish themselves from the others.
Males were physically stronger, quick mind and a strong will. Gods gave a sense of aesthetics and mathematical mind to Females.
But that was not all... Among Aisurs were born a being so unusual that gods themselves thought twice before they made them. They were Allen Kadurs. Sexless Aisurs as they are called, were a special category that is in some indescribable way complement every sphere of social life on Refelden.
Allen Kadurs also got the most valuable gift from the gods – spark of Divine-Nature. Their mind was so open what make them able to recognize the will of high harmony and hear her advice. With the very thoughts they enslaved physical world.
There were some brakes on the Aisurs progress. Like every race in its development, they encountered difficulties. There is conflict and natural disasters. On some occasion the gods put theirs hands on further progress.
But in the end there were always Allen Kadurs.
Sexless were not very interested in Aisur’s social life. They preferred isolation and study of high harmony and its messages. But... whenever the race fell into serious problems, sleeping giants such as Allen Kadurs were up to help his people.
Race have multiplied and spread. Refelden became small. Aisurs then began to look for a home around the stars. In all that glory gods have set the limit. Allen Kadurs could only be born at the Refelden... or at least they thought so.
Aisurs, at that time, became one of the most powerful forces in the galaxy, but something stopped them...
As a grain of sand that hit a mountain in its most painful spot, Refelden was wounded. It happened what nobody could even think of. The most powerful and the closest beings to Heigh Harmony- Allen Kadurs, lost their sanity.
No one knows how it happened or what caused it, but from serene Aisurs withdrawn into the depths of theirs mind, their place took the beast of violence and destruction.
Billions died in the war against Allen Kadurs- in vain. When they saw that the fight can not be won, the command of the Tuarden people ordered the survivors board the six large starships. Thise contraptions were the biggest technology wonders Aisurs ever built and were to serve as a symbol of the glory of Tuarden nation. Instead, they became the refugee boats.
One ship was destroyed on takeoff while others managed to escape.
Refelden was left behind, but in theirs minds Allen Kadurs rage were still echoing. They hoped that they will see the beast never again.

Reviews

[Milos Prikic · Rating 5 out of 5]

The books starts as nothing special, but as the story goes on, it becomes amazing. This is definitely going to be a hit in the future.

The whole world of Maius is represented as a total state of the current world. The revolutions and revelations are representatives of ascension of human consciousness.

Anyway, this is a very deep book that leaves a lasting impression and makes you think about life in general.

The description at the top of the page begins unremarkably, but the second paragraph is hardly English:

Refelden was in no way special. Just another world in infinite space.
He has long lifeless orbiting around its hot sun before gods on it didn't start their game of creation and destruction.

At first I was wondered whether this was the language of the book, deliberately different from normal English as a characteristic of the narrator, like Riddley Walker. But no. The explanation can be found just under the blurb and on the author's Goodreads page:

Publishing information:
  Published December 1st 2012 by Alexander Damian (Aleksandar Damnjanovic)
  (first published December 1st 2011)
  original title: Elemenat haosa

Author information:
  born in Svetozarevo(Jagodina), Serbia

Evidently the author wrote the book in his native Serbian, with the title Элемент хаоса [transliterated "Element haosa"],* and published it himself. The publisher's blurb is by the author himself. At first I thought it might have been a product of Bing or Google Translate, but here is the beginning of a post from his Goodreads blog, about another of his books:

Steps of Pragmatism
According to generally accepted definition, pragmatism is philosophy that ignores the importance of theoretical discussion, but emphasizes importance of final effect.
There were a few theories with so many opponents. Sincerely, I don't see what is so bad in desire for final effect of some action, to be emphasized. Speaking about theoretical discussion, by my thinking, it is important only if it is just a step toward the practical solution. If we prolong theoretical discussion with no practical reason, it becomes gluttonous of energy.

This is how Mr. Damian writes English. I have less than zero interest in reading an entire book of this awkwardness.

* Mr. D. seems also to have inserted an extra "a" in transliterating the first word of his original title.
