Ikky looked at the sunset, lost in his memories. 'If it was anyone else, would they do otherwise?' ... 'Was it then, when it all started or was it even before?' ... 'Was it our salvation or was it a downfall of humankind?' The journey was long and hard. Nobody knew what would happen, and nobody knew how it would end. "Do you want to hear my story, the story of the journey that leads us here?" He asked the man sitting next to him. The man looked at the person who saved the world or led it to its destruction. ----------------------------------------------------- Ikky was just a young man who loved jogging in the morning, still going to school. But everything changed as virtual reality game took over the world.
In a world fractured by the fall of ancient gods, where chaos spills through shadowed gates and power belongs to the ruthless, survival is not a right—it’s a gamble. Eryndor is a land teetering on the brink, where monsters roam the dark, and hunters fight for glory, wealth, and the slim chance of living another day. For Kael Draven, life has always been about surviving the next sunrise. A scavenger from the slums of Vorthas, he’s known hunger, loss, and the suffocating weight of failure. But when fate thrusts upon him the Eclipse Codex, a forbidden power born from shadows, Kael’s world is forever changed. With the Codex comes the ability to grow stronger, to consume the strength of his enemies, and to bend the darkness itself to his will. But power always demands a price. As Kael climbs the ranks of strength and influence, he finds himself torn between the remnants of his humanity and the monster he’s becoming. In a world where trust is fleeting, betrayal is inevitable, and the line between hero and villain blurs with every step, Kael must choose: will he wield his power to protect those he loves, or will he become the harbinger of Eryndor’s destruction? The shadows whisper promises of ascension, but every choice Kael makes pulls him deeper into the abyss. Will he rise to save the world—or will the darkness claim him?

Accidents are something far more common than you'd think, yet I never really thought I'd be in one... specially an airborn one. (My POV) As I fell down from the plane, I screamed my lungs out naturally panicked due to my certain death coming up, but then suddenly it felt as if time had slowed down . Before my eyes a shining rectangle appeared, a message of sorts that I thought only I could read: "You have been chosen to migrate to another universe, Dragon Ball, you will be under the laws and sistems of said place, and will be given a new body you can customize one and only once, do you accept?" I quickly hit the "accept" option and time resumed normally, and yet, I kept falling just as moments ago. And so I somehow managed to scream louder, so much so I thought my vocal cords were gonna tear. My only hopes faded the moment time came back to it's normal speed and gravity kept working. My agony ended when the plane we were in crashed onto the ground causing a massive explosion, of which I could only hear a faint rumbling before blacking out. I saw nothing but a great black void, couldn't feel, couldn't see, couldn't hear, I didn't even really know if I was breathing or not, if my heart was pulsing or not...
Every living being, even if it's a monster, demi-human or a supreme being are all equal in the face of death. "There's no such as good and evil, god and devil, people just invented that words to comfort themselves... but I do serve a god and a devil that's makes us different... I only follow them because they gave me power when I needed it... so scream for me" Ankh said while torturing Calfin and his whole guild... because of them, Ankh grandparents died in their hands. And this is a story about a boy name 'Ankh Adom' walking his own path, becoming a executioner to his master as well a being who broke the 4th wall. Welcome to 4th Wall breaker- ---------------------------------------------------- Hi I'm a new author that's why my grammar and story are messed up and I only know English language a little bit but still I hoped you like my nonsense novel

Long in the future, in a galaxy not that far away... Captain Milanor Milestone was at his wit's end. With hollow eyes, he stared at his starship: Helios. State-of-the-art engine, premium armaments, luxurious passenger comfort, and stellar maintenance bill. She was a ship with so many superlative traits in her role, including the tendency of sucking in credits from his wallet like some kind of financial black hole. "Gah, no more!" came a wail that resonated light-years into the vacuum, as regular as a pulsar. So recurrent in its frequency that it was possible his outcry would be the first message intercepted by intelligent extraterrestrials. But then, a stroke of good luck! An easy and mundane but high-paying job came into his lap. "It's a straightforward delivery assignment to a nondescript destination. There's no need for concern," Milanor said in elation, unknowingly setting up a flag for an event beyond anything from his imagination. ========== # It's a story about a starship full of beautiful misfits and gritty realistic space opera, along with a healthy dose of rom-com and lovey-dovey moments. What's not to like about a date in a bizarre and exotic alien world? Get ready to receive a lap pillow under a pink sky adorned with planetary rings over the horizon. # No fantasy elements were used in this story. This is pure science fiction.
The city's shadows wrangled the guardian and clipped its wings just to let it live. Too bad for them, those were just a distraction. Now that the guardian is finally free to be where it wants, even in your mind, listen to whatever it wants, even your thoughts, and erase whomever it wants, literally, without facing any repercussions, who would dare to go against it all? Dave is one such person. His life began its downward spiral when his wife lost her memories, wiped away intentionally. A crime he couldn't solve. Due to which he, who wrote two decades of Inception city's history, was reduced to a drunken mess, ending with thugs taking him hostage. But Dave wasn't broken yet, no, that only happened when he returned to the response his methods generated, those that forced death on his admirer. Dave had been naïve, enough to think the people who used his absence to gain power would let him come back in peace. But will their warnings be enough to stop him, or will he merge with the shadows and become obscure, like everyone else against the guardian did? Who'll win? Dave, or the guardian everyone trusts to look after them?
“Why do you think you were born in the Realm of Human? No, you, just like everyone else, start at the beginning. Welcome to your first Naraka.” When Haseo died, instead of meeting a God or being judge for his sins, he appeared in an assembly hall with thousands of others. On stage was a man who went on to ridicule them all for their misguided thoughts on where they were on the totem pole of life. Beings who thought they were born in the higher realms, were distraught to learn they existed in the Thought Realm. A collection of metaphysical universes that were all spawn with just a thought. Only Haseo himself was unfazed by this news. Though, rather then him having some insight, it was only because he simply was focused on a more important matter… ‘Man, not only was I placed in the nosebleeds section, I am surrounded by babies. They keep on yapping and crying over the speaker on the stage. Couldn’t hear anything that was said.’ ……… Soon everyone present was given a system of power to help them simulate into their new positions. The systems were all designed to be on equal terms with each other. None were better than others. If you knew your place and followed your path, you would become equals with others. “Haseo Graytoy, please come down here and meet me in my office. Your system needs explaining before we hand it over.” A long silence ensued. The systems were distributed instantly, however a guy with a weird last name was called down. ‘Man what a world.. or afterlife I guess? Who knew there was someone else with the same first name as me who didn’t get a system. Though, I wonder when is a good time to bring up I also didn’t get one.’ Though seeing his surroundings change, he realized that maybe the one who was called was him. “Welcome young man, sorry to single you out. But there are a few strings attached to your system.” The man went on to explain that Haseo was adopted and that was the reason for his last name changing. Him being adopted was due to the maker of the system he was being given. The ancestor of the Graytoy, used himself as the main ingredient of the system. “But don’t let this get to your head. Your system basically is only good for making toys.” Haseo looked at the man confused. “Wait, was I just called here because I am a dud? My afterlife will just be making toys in a factory?!” The man chuckled and leaned back in his chair. “I mentioned the Graytoy ancestor was an ingredient of your system. Hence the toy making part of it. However the reason calling you here is the other parts of the system.” “He somehow got his hands on the Test Server Universe and the Realities Trash Bin Server Universe. The first having loose regulations and the second housing copies of anything that has been made.” Haseo frown when he heard this, thinking he was going to get scammed. He started thinking of ways to plead for this system. Before Haseo could speak, the man raised his hand to stop him. “No need to worry about us keeping this from you or making you agree to unfair terms.” The man stood up and reached out his hand. “In fact, you are doing the biggest service anyone could ever do.” Haseo shook the man’s hand not knowing the start of his afterlife was about to get complicated.
