tragedy

(Currently being revised so the story may be incoherent) "Knowledge, There you are! We need to do this quickly before the other gods notice." Valor says as he motions for her to approach. "I'm surprised you agreed to help with this." Gluttony adds with a cruel smile. "I never would have thought the God of Knowledge would be the one to give us aid." Knowledge mearly nods at his words. "Now, this is it! That crazy bat from the far continent has made some crazy monsters before but this one is the cream of the crop. Fully capable of self-evolution and self-replication. It can breed a whole army of different monsters by gathering the essence of other lifeforms!" Valor says as he points to a large egg on the ground. She nods again. "You know, I thought you'd be as excited as I am with this? Endless war and power; we'll have full control of the system once this thing begins its rampage." Knowledge raises her hands in the air and shakes them unenthusiastically. "As sarcastic as ever I see. Well, whatever. Place your hand hand here and help us with the seal." She does as she is told and a huge beam of light descends upon the egg; but her attention is elsewhere. Using the ceremony as a distraction, Knowledge brings lost souls from other worlds and implants them in unsuspecting inhabitants. She can see it. Tiny seeds of change have been sewn.

The story of those who carry things they should never have had to, and the choices of their lives which affect them and the world as a whole. Three chapters a week. link to cover artist: https://www.fiverr.com/winda_chu?source=inbox  Usually, somewhere between 2000 and 3000 words per chapter. Notice: This will be a long, long story, so it will be a slow burn for at least the first two arcs. But if you are interested in a long, wide-ranging story, I hope you will read. Notice 2: I will be fixing the grammar of the chapter within my story, around 5 per day, starting from 25/05/2025. I have heard the grammar in the earlier chapter has been an issue for many, and admittedly, I have always sucked at that aspect, which I have gotten a lot better at over the years, so I will be redoing that. Logs and other special chapters are not included in this five-chapter count. Notice 3: All corrections are done.

Jon Snow, a boy destined for a life of contempt by almost everyone around him, but a divine intervention can change everything. The boy who will pave the way to build the most powerful nation in the world. I crafted this story with a focus on the creation of a kingdom, battles, economy, navigation, and exploration of the entire universe of Planetos, with a central character in mind. Am I wealthy? The Stormlands, Dorne, the Reach, and the Westerlands all want to establish trade agreements with me. And the East? I have trade agreements with Braavos, Pentos, Myr, Tyrosh, Lys, and Volantis. I can negotiate with everyone in Essos, except in the Slaver's Bay after I stole 100,000 chained men from them. So, do you have enemies in Essos? About that? I indeed have quite a few. I started by stealing slaves from them, then raised a khalasar and began a bloodbath in the Dothraki Sea for fun. I was even named a Khal in Vaes Dothrak. Not to mention, the last time I went to Essos, I toppled the Titan's statue in Braavos. They wanted to stop me from destroying the House of Black and White. That day wasn't very pleasant for the Braavosi. Wow, and the kingdoms below the Wall? The Wall? It no longer exists; I brought it down a while ago. I took the North as part of my kingdom and left the South of the Neck to the Southerners. They tried to reclaim the kingdom, but now the Southerners tremble when they feel my armies on their lands. I've personally killed one or two of their kings. Really? Yes, ask what's left of Oldtown. I would answer, it turned to ashes. Lannisport? I burned it. Casterly Rock? It's at the bottom of the sea. The Twins? I blew up the entire place. King's Landing? The city is standing, but the Red Keep is history. -------------------------------------------- This Fanfic's Schedule for the week, updates on: Sunday, Tuesday and Friday. ---------------------------------------------- With gratitude and enthusiasm, Raccoon!

Waking up in the body of a 6-year-old boy a few years before Cintra is destroyed, Madara receives a system that gives him the ability to gain the powers of Uchiha Madara. [The peak of Uchiha Madara's system is before he becomes the ten-tails jinchuuriki.] The system's percentage does not stop Madara's power, but rather the system's release. After all, I don't want to see a character who goes around killing everyone from the beginning of the story.

Some things happen once. Others leave a mark. At seven years old, Ashen survived a tragedy that should have taken his life. Ten years later, he has almost convinced himself that night was nothing more than a distant memory. Then he loses the last person he calls family. Grief, anger, and a need for answers lead Ashen toward a strange phenomenon in the mountains—a place where the forest seems wrong, where things move in the dark that should not exist, and where a mysterious crystal waits beneath the earth. Ashen goes there searching for answers. What he finds instead changes him. Now he must learn what happened to him, what the crystal has awakened, and why the strange presence surrounding his past seems to be drawing closer. Because surviving was never the end of Ashen's story. It was the beginning.

In 1950, a red rupture split the sky open and changed humanity forever. When the rift vanished, nearly sixty percent of the population awakened supernatural abilities. Cities fell, new powers reshaped society, and from that day forward most people manifested their abilities at the age of sixteen. Power became status. Power became survival. Alan Winchester is the son of the world’s top ranked hero, yet when his generation begins awakening, nothing happens to him. With no abilities in a world built around the superhuman, he turns to science and works inside his father’s organization, believing he can still earn his place another way. Then he discovers classified files: illegal experiments, disappearances, and murder cases hidden behind the image of heroism. After a chain of violent events forces him out of everything he knows, Alan travels to China searching for answers, training, and a different path to power. What begins as survival turns into something far more dangerous as he uncovers forces tied to the original catastrophe that changed humanity. Death. Corruption. Revenge. In a world ruled by strength, Alan will carve his own.

In the not-too-distant future, world war 3 has happened, Earth faces an impending disaster. Humanity's days are numbered and as the planet rapidly deteriorates beyond repair, the people are split into two factions, the resource - rich GLOBAL UNION or GU - consisting of most of the USA and its allies - and the lesser-resourced INTERSTELLAR MOVEMENT or IMT - consisting of all the countries that did not side with the GU during the war. Following the GU's rapid colonisation of most of the solar system, including the terraforming of Mars, the ISF is compelled to quickly send out a few of their under-resourced numbers outside the solar system in search of potential habitable planets that they could also terraform and move to inorder to survive their impending extinction. The first exoplanet they send their very first, and only, group to is Proxima Centauri b. The responsibility of making this planet their new home falls upon the shoulders of the crewmembers of the starship Stardust, a colossal vessel built for interstellar travel that is under the command of Jardon, a middle-aged spaceship captain and self-proclaimed master of witty comebacks, and his AI assistant, Judy. However, fate soon shifts from their side as sometime after they near their destination, a catastrophic event cripples their ship and causes it to crash Land on the planet. At first, Proxima b appears surprisingly idyllic, with lush landscapes and vibrant colors. But then, this experience quickly turns sour when the crew of Stardust discover that they, much to their horror, are not alone on the planet.
