Gates Guilt: Resurrection

The era of the sun is a dead memory. Humanity's sprawling kingdoms have fallen, and the last remnants of civilization are buried alive. Trapped within a decaying, subterranean iron bunker known as the Sanctuary, the few survivors of an apocalyptic extinction cling to a grim existence. Outside the walls lies an unforgiving abyss of monsters and black miasma; inside, the reality is just as terrifying. Under the iron-fisted rule of Chief Murad Xie, the Sanctuary survives through a horrifying arithmetic. Compassion is a forgotten language, and the weak are literally consumed to keep the strong alive. Eleven-year-old Akira and his mother, Syuri, are the last sparks of hope in this sterile tomb. While the rest of humanity has surrendered to the ruthless, blood-soaked laws of their cage, Syuri preaches of a forgotten world above—a place of blue skies and green earth. Her dreams earn her the title of a madwoman from the starving crowds, but Akira fiercely protects his innocence, clinging to her teachings in a society that demands cruelty. But innocence is a death sentence at the end of the world. As resources run dry and the shadow of starvation threatens to snap the Sanctuary's fragile peace, an elite soldier named Klein takes Akira under his wing. Knowing the brutal truth of their decaying sanctuary, Klein drags the boy into the pitch-black outskirts of the gates. Through agonizing, bone-breaking training, he seeks to strip away the boy's naive hopes and forge him into a weapon capable of surviving the nightmare to come. As the last embers of human civilization threaten to burn out forever, Akira stands at a crossroads. He must decide whether to surrender to the savage reality of humanity's final cage, or bleed to prove that his mother’s beautiful world still exists in the dark.

REDACTED NOVEL

When you grow up in this world, you learn to question one thing above all else. Our existence… What is the inherent meaning of it? What is our purpose? Life can be the cruelest thing for one moment and unexpectedly generous the next, repeating this cycle without end. Always remaining indifferent, like a wheel spinning without reason or intent, landing wherever it happens to fall. Yet it is precisely this indifference and the absence of inherent meaning or purpose in life, that can be seen as beautiful, because it leaves meaning and purpose in your hands alone, something you must create for yourself. But what happens when a man has become so broken that he becomes blind to this truth? Instead, he has convinced himself of the madness, that existence itself is a flaw, an impurity that should never have been. What follows next is not understanding, but destruction. He no longer seeks meaning, purpose or the trival vanities that life offers. Instead, he seeks erasure, not only of himself, but of all things. That man is Wu Zhe. He is a man who has lived two lives, one as a mortal on Earth, the other as the strongest being in Yunluo. Feared by all, entire realms united to bring an end to his madness. Alone, he stood against them all, facing the collective might of countless realm, and in the end, he perished. But death was not his end. Reborn into yet another world, he rises once more, casting aside all restraints. Through any means necessary, no matter how vile he must become, he pursues a single, unimaginable goal, the annihilation of all existence. Witness a man consumed by his own madness, slaughtering his way to his heavens. https://discord.gg/bNQx4Ng7KP

Her Name Awakens a Slumbering Fate

WARNING: Some mature content!!! 18+ This is what you call Urbantasy.. Fantasy in an urban setting with a strong female lead -- a story riddled in mystery, magic, and a lot of sass. ======= CHAPTER 1 sneak peek! ======= The air between them tightened like a rope. Cael leaned closer, head tilting slightly, pulling at her waist again, smugness softened into something sharper and quieter. His eyes flicked to her lips then back to her eyes as if asking for permission he didn't need. Hunger of a different kind pumped through Cael. The hunger that Galathea unmistakably recognized as it pressed hard against her lower abs, forcing through the fabric as if it can tear through. At the sensation, Galathea's mouth parted before she could stop it. Her whole body screamed at her to either shove him away or close the last inch between their lips herself. ===== SYNOPSIS ===== Galathea Brooks spent her life surviving quietly -- counting inventory, enforcing rules, keeping her head down inside one of the most powerful art institutions in the city. It's a simple life because paint doesn't talk; power doesn't notice people like her. and names are just names. -- That is... until a painting remembered her. When ancient works buried beneath Artemis Art Gallery began to respond to Galathea's presence, she becomes the center of the system that's older than the building itself. A system that cataloged her long before she knew it existed. Her name is not a coincidence. It is a KEY. Cael Alexander, on the other hand, has always understood control. As Artemis' immaculate but dangerous CEO, he manages secrets like no other. He knows the gallery and its bowels more than anyone. He knows what's hidden; he knows what's awaken. What he didn't expect, however, was Galathea. As archaic works of art start to stir, boundaries fracture -- between observer and artifact, power and possession, restraint and desire. Every choice Galathea makes draws her deeper into fate that doesn't want permission... only acknowledgement. Mind you, awakenings don't ask when you're ready.
