Otherwise, why would your call still come through after I cut the phone line?" Yang Xiao glared at the fallen phone line, his face twisted ferociously.

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.

To what extent are you a person? To what extent are your personal values identified and freely crafted on your own? Give a beast a prey, and it would learn to be a predator. Give a person an inch, and they’ll take a mile. Just like animals yearn to sit at the top or feel safe, it's in humans’ nature to have dominion over everything they want. And just like how animals have fangs to rip through skin, humans have Concepts to shape the world to their whim. Our story takes place in a world like our own, a planet called Petra, a sphere trapped in the Sun’s orbit. Just like how the Sun influences our day and night cycle due to your world's Concepts and understandings, humans have developed the ability to physically morph and change reality. We do this by achieving great levels of understanding of these things we call Concepts. Yet only those who wield both vast influence and profound understanding can bend perception itself, altering the very way people see the world. Empowered with these Concepts, guilds, corporations, and nations alike are all clawing for mass influence our the world. With all the factions' budding heads, effective manpower has become a hot commodity. Paying for the temporary loyalty, Freelancers take on these extra tasks while darker work is handled by Journalists. Stay toned and bear witness to the birth of the next World Editor.

Power is not found through some arbitrary system, sacred teaching, or the tedious crawling through dungeons with unknown beasts or opponents lurking around every corner. Nor is it the ability to harvest the best fruit of the land - no matter if the fruit is a dragon, beast, or weapon. Courage, Wisdom, Friendship, and Love were the Four Souls needed to forge the Shikon Jewel in Inuyasha's mythos if one wanted to be righteous. Corruption of either part of the souls created Magatsuhi and Naraku, and the same can be said for the Lord of the Western Lands, Sesshomaru. But, how true is that when we know little about his past or him for that matter? Do you truly believe his story ended in the Final Act simply because he defeated Meido Zangetsuha and obtained Bakusaiga? Or, is there untapped power beyond his father's trials? What must be learned in order to truly rule the House of Inu?

Born into wealth, Alex Wyndham should have lived a life of privilege. Instead, he grew up as an outsider in his own family. Ignored. Looked down on. Treated like he didn’t belong. The reason was simple. He carried the Wyndham name… but not their acceptance. With no talent for Qi and no place among his own blood, Alex believed his life would never change. No power. No future.

A world ruled by strength, where warriors and strange powers decide who rises… and who is crushed. And somehow, Alex had a place in it. Not through talent. Not through training. But through something far more mysterious. Now standing at the edge of this new reality, Alex is faced with a choice: remain the forgotten boy… or step forward and uncover the truth behind himself.

"What are you willing to do to achieve something? How serious are you about achieving your goals?" This was the question that Loki and the other people who came to the Four Directions sect to earn their freedom were asked on their first day in the sect. For Loki, this question was easy for him to answer because he was reborn as a slave in this world and had already defied the will of his slave master in order to join the Four Directions sect. He had braved danger and suffering to reach the Four Directions sect. So he knew what it meant to be desperate and was willing to do whatever was required of him to achieve his goal. In the world of the blessed heaven realm, there is no such thing as human rights, and freedom is a luxury that very few people have. It is said that everyone is a slave to someone. The only difference is how strong their master is. So he, just like everyone else, is under the control of someone above them. But he doesn't want to remain a slave forever. He aspires to greatness, immortality, and freedom. He wants to acquire enough power to gain control of his fate. He also wants to rise to the top of the world and be the one to control others. He even wants to gain power and control over death. In order to achieve this, he is willing to do anything. This is his answer to the question of what he is willing to do to achieve his goals. His answer to this question was why he awakened the Fenrir metac. This is a metac that can help him achieve his goals by granting him the ability to find prey, hunt prey, and devour them to strengthen himself. With the Fenrir metac, he will transform from a prey into a predator. He will even have the chance to rise to the top of the food chain and become the strongest predator. That is to be his purpose in life, and with great luck and perseverance, he might achieve it.
