You think you can understand Chaos? Foolish! Chaos isn't merely disorder; it is the ultimate paradox - Life and death, creation and destruction, the beginning and the end. In a hyper-advanced future built on quantum technology, humanity is awakened by the same energy tearing the universe apart. Entities from a higher dimension invade, forcing humans to the brink of extinction. In the shadows of this broken world, Missio Augustus wanders aimlessly like a lost soul, fighting his own inner darkness. As the Lieutenant General of the Black ops division, he goes on a mission to capture an international kingpin but experiences his life-long trauma once again. While falling into depression, he watches as an ancient church brings mayhem upon humanity... This is a relaunch of my original work. I am moving this story from my previous account (SageofMusic) to this new handle (Ekadash). I am the sole creator of Music Box Mayhem.

Kao Dao Ji is a mighty genius of the Kao Clan. A proud featherman born after the era of Spectral Soul, burning with ambition and the desire to take revenge on humanity! His journey begins with his ascension to immortality. Wait. Why is his Tribulation so strong? Oh. ... In an unexpected turn of events, a human from earth takes over, just the moment he dies. And? He becomes the Land Spirit. With such great powers that would have made him god back on earth, yet shackled in the same position, with no possibility of advancement, and trapped as an unfavored species. Just how will he be able to thrive? ... With the synopsis cleared: This is going to be a low-paced story, with not 'cheats' (well, there will be some things, that may qualify as such. But no, System, no Rank 9 Gu from the beginning or anything like that.) I also have no intention of writing romance, or at least not of the MC. Also, as stated before the story will begin after the era of Spectral Soul. So, do not expect to see Bai Ning Bing, Fang Yuan, etcetera. Still, while most of the characters are OC, I will try my best to give them relevance, perhaps too much. Anyway, I do not intend to profit from this, and I write this purely for fun, so I am not sure how consistently I will be able to put chapters, but I'll try to at least put one every 2 weeks. But that is the bare minimum, I intend to be a bit more consistent.

Terra II, a world split into vast planes, where deserts stretch ceaselessly and horrors—roamed without rest. It is a land scarred by self made nightmares that never fade. The Common Era, where the concept of happiness has been abandoned. No story begins with joy, and none end with peace. One mistake—a misplaced word, a fleeting gesture—is all that it took. Strength was never the problem. You survived long enough to know that looking strong, feeling strong, and being strong are three different lies people tell themselves to keep moving. Terra is heavy. The roads are long and boundless like the deserts. And family...family—that has been stripped away. Once? Twice? no, Thrice? You’ve walked. You’ve run. You’ve shot at everything. You've seen your friends perish away, your self-made family rotting away, and how do you cover it? By carrying a carload of supplies through every kind of conceivable catastrophe. ———————— I'm pretty nervous how this version will be received and since i went for both magic and a modern setting. I'm not really good as creating things so i took inspiration from some well known media, so if it seems familiar, i tried as best i could to make it my own. but idk. Lets see, it starts to pick up the pace slowly. It's a slow born sort of thing. short ass rant, lol. Kristen out, peace.

The sky cracked the night the legends returned.

Billy cannot touch the world. He cannot stop the monsters. But he can teach Ren how to fight them. Ren wields a revolver that forms from surrounding metal, firing bullets that bend their own trajectory. And when ammunition runs out, there is another option. Bullets made from his own blood.

And beyond the fractured sky, something ancient has begun to notice the boy who can bend inevitability. Other descendants are awakening. Other legends are watching. And the more blood Ren spends, the less future he has left to protect.

For longer than he can remember, Ifrit has wandered through countless timelines, shattered realities, and impossible universes. He has witnessed the rise and fall of gods. He has watched civilizations burn, be reborn, and vanish without a trace. He has buried friends whose names even history forgot. He has seen lovers swear eternal devotion, only to become passing memories in the endless flow of existence. At some point, he stopped counting his age. At some point, he stopped searching for answers. Yet one question continues to follow him across every reality: What am I? In a multiverse governed by timelines, concepts, divine laws, and the mysterious World Clock, there exists a forbidden truth hidden from gods and mortals alike. A truth so terrifying that entire pantheons erased themselves rather than remember it. The truth of The Nameless One. When ancient seals begin to break and forgotten timelines awaken, Ifrit finds himself at the center of a cosmic conflict older than existence itself. Gods fear him. Concepts reject him.

As the boundaries between universes collapse and the First War threatens to begin anew, Ifrit must uncover the secret buried within his own existence. But the closer he gets to the answer, the more horrifying the truth becomes. For Ifrit is not searching for the Nameless One. The Nameless One may be searching for him.

This is the untold story of a Silver-Eyed Warrior — a hero erased from history, yet instrumental in shaping it. This brave soul faced the ultimate darkness with unwavering courage, forging a path that would have far-reaching consequences for generations to come. Set almost one thousand years prior to the events of RWBY, this tale unfolds in a world where mighty nations reign supreme, their grandeur fueled by the power of Dust and steam. Against this backdrop of glory, the once-legendary role of the Huntsmen has faded into myth, reduced to whispers of ancient tales told around campfires or in hushed tones between village elders. Few believe such heroes truly existed, dismissing them as mere fairytales spun to entertain children. Yet, against this backdrop of skepticism and doubt, an elite group of Huntsmen - those who have dedicated their lives to vanquishing the Grimm - continue to wage a secret war against these malevolent entities. Their battles are fought in the shadows, far from the prying eyes of the common folk, who view them as relics of a bygone era. At the heart of this conflict lies the enigmatic Grimm Count, a mysterious force that seeks to spread his dark influence across the land. As the stakes grow higher, our hero must confront the shadows within and without, testing his mettle against the forces of darkness in a battle for the very survival of their world.

Living a rather mundane life, William Sigerson, a rising detective, finds himself tangled in a secretive mastermind's scheme to bring destruction to his world, changing his life forever. Wrongly framed as the culprit while investigating the crimes, he must first escape the clutches of the Enforcers, before leaving his country to form his own counterattack against the enemy.  Unfortunately for Sigerson, the opponent he's up against is far beyond his expectations. Alliances snap, war erupts, and chaos takes over the world, as he struggles to adapt to the constant fighting between countries with rebels and smaller criminal gangs all struggling among themselves to gain power for themselves. Zeppelins fly around like giant balloons, wreaking havoc. Steam-powered war machines shred through towns with ease. Soldiers ravage through the once peaceful lands of Ecclesia and Revalty alike, destroying towns and cities as the leaders of both countries go back and forth in the war, exchanging blows like chess pieces. Seeking shelter in a neighbouring country seems safe... until he finds out that everything had been planned from the beginning in order to trap him there. To defeat the demon pulling the strings, he must change his mindset to win. To dominate. Even if it means becoming a demon himself. WHAT TO EXPECT: A smart MC who doesn't act like a genius in one scene then finds himself outsmarted by a toddler Strategy. A lot of it. In fact, most of the story is actually one large scheme made up of tinier strategies with war elements involved. Worldbuilding. I'll try my best to provide as much detail and backstory on the different countries mentioned in the story. And lastly, puzzle solving for those who like brain twisters... Chapters are published every Monday and Friday

He doesn't just want his throne back; he wants the man who dared to forget him. As the Rulers of the Ledger awaken and the Empire begins to crumble, Shi Yi must face a terrifying truth: ​You can erase a name, you can erase a face, but how do you erase a heart that remembers what the mind has lost?
