“Perhaps we are indeed the main characters of the story, but who is to say we are not the Galactic Republic in the prequel --- No matter how many victories we seize or how many foes we slay, our fate has been sealed from the very beginning.” --- KR043. When a portal to another world was created in the deserts of Nevada, the United States, humanity was faced with a choice. Neglect it, and pray nothing happens. Or confront it, and in doing so, pay a dear cost. Earth chose the latter, and thus, came the heroic tales of the Phasewalker Corps. And thus, came the numberless skirmishes, battles, and wars that would ravage across Humanity's enemies. And thus, came the warcry that would soon echo through countless worlds. "For Earth! For Humanity! For...Victory!" This is the story of the generation that burns.

Earth was plunged into a war against countless monstrosities. They flooded out of gates leading to other worlds, but they knew none of that. All humanity knew was that they now wielded power beyond their natural means. But among the throngs of people rejoicing amidst the tragedy of conflict, a man awoke from a long slumber. His return would herald an upheaval to this changed world and to the endless wars that have plagued their reality. This is the story of the man known as Caelum Grace. This is his journey to become a God amongst gods. **** Quick disclaimer: I'm still learning how to better write action/fighting scenes so please bear with me.

She was pure enough to pray for him He was ruthless enough to ruin her Ethan Monaco didn't come to college to find love. He came to find college, keep a low profile, and prepare to take over his family's empire, a dynasty built on blood, power and silence. Emily Harper was the last kind of girl he should notice — pure, devoted, untouched. A church girl in every sense, the type who kept her head down and her soul clean. Then she got lost. Instead of the administrative building, she wandered straight into the campus garden. Wrong place, wrong time or as Ethan saw it perfect place, perfect time. One glance at her and he decided she would be his. Not to love but to ruin and corrupt, piece by piece, prayer by prayer. In his world, innocence is a challenge and saints were made to fall. He swore to corrupt her and God himself might not forgive them.

In a world where power is forged in flame, legacy is a blade that cuts both ways. Shen Li, the reluctant heir of Emberheart Sect, was born into a dynasty of fire and war—but he has always walked the razor’s edge between obedience and defiance. When he unseals the ancient forge buried beneath the sect, he awakens not only a long-buried power, but a fallen traitor: Yi Wuren, once a brother to Shen Li’s father, now a ghost of rebellion wrapped in fire. As the sect’s political factions stir and whispers of treason take root, Shen Li finds himself caught in a quiet war between truth and tradition. Aided by Lan Xueyi, a mysterious envoy from Frostveil Sect with secrets of her own, he must decide what kind of leader he will become—one who upholds the ashes of the past, or one who sets fire to everything to forge something new. But in a sect where loyalty is currency and the flames remember everything… some legacies refuse to die quietly.

Core Synopsis: In a world ruled by cultivation sects and divine clans, a young man named Shen Liun once held everything—loving parents, a powerful clan, and a noble fiancée. But fate turned cruel. His family was destroyed in a conspiracy, his clan wiped out as traitors, and his betrothed discarded him like trash, calling him "a waste with no future." Left for dead and tossed into the most desolate realm of the continent, Shen Liun awakens an ancient soul within him—The Emperor of Ashes, a forgotten god of destruction and rebirth. From this moment, he begins his ascent. But the path to the heavens is soaked in blood, betrayal, and fire. Shen Liun will defy destiny, burn gods, shatter sects, and rise not just to power—but to rewrite the rules of cultivation itself. you can support me through this: Ko-fi.com/Allforone9

Centuries ago, the Elyari Empire collapsed in a cataclysm of magic, leaving behind cursed soil, shattered thrones, and the "Fast Lives" — a cruel spell that dooms peasants to live full lives in only a decade. Now, fifty young sovereigns — scions of ancient houses — each rule their fragments of a broken realm, spread across wild biomes from icy mountains to scorched deserts, tangled forests to fertile plains. Among them is Alexios of House Helion, called Caesar, a charismatic leader in the plains, who dreams of unity. With his sister Niharika, a healer, and a circle of builders, warriors, and diplomats, he dares to imagine an island healed. He is joined — and opposed — by a web of rulers: Amir, a desert tactician; Thalia, a cultured visionary; Takahashi, the isolationist shogun of the forests; Julia, the cunning queen of Duskreach; Lyra, the stoic queen of ice; Astrid, a war-hardened tactician; and many others. As alliances rise and collapse, ancient tombs whisper secrets of the past. A prophecy emerges — a second calamity is near. When Alexios and Amir uncover lost Elyari texts in a volcano’s heart, they vow to stop history from repeating. But prophecy is not easily bent. Ramses and Adonis revolutionize village-building, ushering a new age of infrastructure and cooperation. Weddings are held, flags are raised, and pacts are signed. But underneath the progress, betrayals fester. Julia builds a web of spies. Orlan rises from exile. Takahashi's code clashes with diplomacy. Amir is poisoned. Friendships unravel. Whispers of an undead army echo from ancient tombs. The cursed minerals of vaelstone — coveted, dangerous, powerful — begin to reawaken forces best left buried. When Julia misreads the prophecy and activates a forgotten army, the dead rise again — and this time, they do not recognize kings from peasants. As kingdoms fall and cities burn, a final alliance of survivors unites: not for power, but survival. The past has awakened, and it remembers everyone. To save the island, the inheritors of Elarion must decide: Will they repeat the sins of their ancestors… or rise above them?
