ASCENDANTS OF THE FALLEN EARTH When fire fell, silver whispered. The night the sky bled silver, a comet tore Earth open, unleashing Celestia—a raw, living power that reshaped the world. Now, in a fractured age of overgrown ruins and mutated beasts, humanity clings to existence in underground havens, where some are born with its volatile light in their veins. Eris, fifteen and touched by the silver, battles the untamed power that threatens to consume him. Kaylah, remains his fiercely loyal anchor, her presence a shield against the monstrous transformation he fears. But their fragile peace is crumbling. Ruthless Awakened clans seek to control or eliminate those like Eris, and in the deep tunnels, a mysterious force, marked by a pulsing spiral, awakens to his unique resonance. The shadows remember what the blood forgets. The old world is never truly buried—only waiting to open its jaws. And secrets lurk in drowned ruins and dried seas, whispering of ancient power and the price of claiming it. Driven by survival and the desperate need to protect his family, Eris must confront not only the savage creatures above, but the escalating power within. For the sky's fire never truly dies, and its ultimate cost might be the very soul of the new world. Dare to step into a world where evolution is both salvation and curse, and the echoes of the past refuse to die? ASCENDANTS OF THE FALLEN EARTH is a haunting post-apocalyptic fantasy about unbreakable bonds, the terrifying evolution of power, and the desperate fight to reclaim humanity from the ashes of a transformed world. This work is my first foray into this fantasy world — it's raw, growing, and shaped by your eyes too. I hope you'll walk these tunnels and the ruins with them -- so many to discover! "WHEN THE SKY BLED SILVER" was the first title of this novel

Terra II, a world split into vast planes, where deserts stretch endlessly and horrors—born from beyond existence and from within—roamed without rest. It is a land scarred by nightmares that never fade, where survival is measured not in victories but in the ability to endure another day. The Common Era, an age where the very concept of happiness has been abandoned. Here, no story begins with joy, and none end with peace. One mistake—a misplaced word, a fleeting gesture—is enough to end you before you even realize it. If you looked strong, if you felt strong, if you were strong—was it ever enough? Strength itself is questioned here, tested not only by battle but by the world’s unrelenting weight and the collapse of all things. Trust is a fragile mask, loyalty nothing more than a fleeting dream. In such a place, how long can one endure before breaking? What if you didn’t even know who your real family was, where you came from, or whether you had the right to claim even a fragment of Terra as your own? --- I'm pretty excited to come back here after literal months of being away, i haven't updated since i felt it had no real place, it didn't feel real enough, well; as realistic as i wanted it tbh. The characters I had were either to much of this or that and didn't have struggles that felt meaningful. So i toned down how strong the mc is and will be along other things. 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. long ass rant, lol. Kristen out, peace. 09/25

In a world on the brink of collapsing under countless dungeons, a harsh place where if you were unable to summon a creature, it meant you could die at any moment.

His only chance was to summon something decent… However, ironically, he summoned a massive stone egg… completely useless. Luckily for him, a second chance appeared… A challenge from the gods… By getting through it, he finally gained what he wanted… a new and strong summoned creature and a system — And more than that, a life, power, and status he could never obtain before. A sword demon....one of demon kings. However, once again, his misfortunate fate kept hanging over him…A curse is carved into his bloodline

Every Christmas Eve would come and everyone would celebrate it with great joy. But, that's a different thing about me. I'm celebrating Christmas Eve in two different settings. The first time, I celebrated with in mourning. Because on Christmas Eve I lost someone who meant everything to me. The second I'm celebrating happily. It's because someone came into my life the moment I lost someone I loved. Now that someone has become my reason to move on. But, unexpectedly, someone was present among us. The foreigner trying to win the favor of the one I love and, of course, it makes me jealous. I always did everything I could to make foreigners feel uncomfortable between the two of us. I won't let that person take what's mine. "What are you doing?" someone asked in a shocked tone as he stared at me. "Sorry, I didn't mean to." My answer to the one standing before me. I bowed my head to hide my smile on my lips. "Why are those clothes wet?" Ask someone who just came out of the toilet. So I immediately took her right hand, saying. "I think this person can't go with us, Bie. Can you see what the person was wearing wet?" I said with a spoiled tone. After that, the foreigner started to pay back everything I did. And the battle began!

Beneath the surface of the megacity lies the Archive — an endless labyrinth of servers that records every possible version of reality. Nothing forgotten. Nothing erased. Nothing truly dead.

(Fairy Tail X Type-Moon Cu Chulain SI) When one is thrust into a new world, you don't really know what to expect. Is it going to be a hellscape with the only way out being death, a reality based on a cartoon show with lessons being taught almost every day, or having an annoying protagonist you can't stand the sight of? Well, this is neither of those, as this is the world of Fairy Tail, a world of magic, whimsy, and wonder where magic is wielded by everyone, with some having such mastery over it that they have become known far and wide. So why the heck do I have the body of a Heroic Spirit, and a weird system screen with Gae Bolg in my hands?!

They killed me on New Year's Eve. My fiancé Ethan and my best friend Vanessa pushed me from the lighthouse observation deck, stealing my research breakthrough—a deep-sea compound worth forty-two million dollars to the pharmaceutical industry. I drowned in the Atlantic. I felt my lungs fill with freezing water. I died. Then I woke up in my lab on December 17th. Two weeks before my murder. Two weeks to change everything. This time, I won't trust anyone. This time, I'll become the monster they tried to kill. I need Carter Blackwell—the disgraced investigative journalist who destroyed Cape Marlowe's reputation three years ago. Everyone here hates him. He's ruthless, morally bankrupt, and obsessed with taking down the pharmaceutical companies that sponsor our research. "Help me destroy the people who are going to kill me," I tell him, "and I'll give you proof of the biggest research theft scandal in marine biology history." Carter's dark eyes search my face. "Why would I believe you're not setting me up? Everyone at Cape Marlowe wants me dead." "Because I know things I shouldn't know. Because I'm the only person desperate enough to work with you. Because we're both willing to do terrible things to people who deserve it." He smiles, and it's not kind. "Then let's ruin some lives, Dr. March." As we work together through brutal winter nights gathering evidence, our partnership becomes an obsession neither of us can control. But Carter has his own secrets about Cape Marlowe—secrets connected to why I was given a second chance at all. When December 31st arrives again, I'll have to choose: save myself or save the man I've fallen for. Because my second chance came with a price, and someone has to pay it.
