Shattering Humanity

"If she feels pain, then I'll make sure we all do..." As a purple and pink tailed meteor enters Earth's atmosphere, it begins "snowing" all over the planet. Humans are no longer on top of the ladder. A crystal ice dragon explodes from the space rock, creating Hell. Bringing along an ambush of bloodthirsty aliens, some large enough to demolish buildings, "Leviathan" has forced humanity into various locations of hiding around the world. Within three years after the initial invasion, humans have begun to not only fight back against the aliens, but some choose to become symbiotic hosts, acquiring "magical" abilities after slaying one of the unconventional extraterrestrials. Shortly before leaving their sanctuary/apocalypse training academy, two once drifted friends, Katsu and Saku, are reunited on the same scout team. As polar opposite personalities they are chosen by the only surviving "Creator of Humanity". Both boys become 'blessed' to be hosts for their universe's contemporary forces and use those "God given abilities" to achieve their (secretly combative) goals. Accompanying them is Katsu's adopted sister, Shelly. Regarded as "The Beast of the Beasts" by her peers, she is the reincarnate of her grandmother. The greatest, most underrated female Scandinavian sword fighter to live before the 13th century. After learning of her destined lineage, and admiring the otherwise "mythical" accomplishments completed by her top tier, ass kicking Valkyrie grandma, Shelly is determined to retrieve all of the stolen blades from those who dishonorably stole them over 800 years ago. In order to do so she will have to defeat several members of a manipulative covenant of warrior witches. Each woman blessed with an undiscovered form of energy that has unknowingly coexisted with humanity. These 7 women usher in the POST-post-apocalyptic world as Mafia Bosses, Matriarch Socialist Dictators, Seafaring Conquerors, and a few just want to see this new snow covered world burn. To prove which unnaturally born creature is the Supreme Ultimate amongst them. Aliens, action, romance, betrayal of old friends, the gaining of trust from new, overpowered goofballs, magical damsel despots, righteous and nefarious humans gaining niche powers, not to mention a secretive psychopath using his God given abilities to preserve who he views as his sole purpose. In the end, will love truly conquer all, or will 'their' love conquer us all? "If you have a beloved purpose you can't live a day without, do you truly have any freedom to live? If you have complete freedom to act however, or say whatever you desire, do you truly have any purpose worth caring about to protect?" ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ [All character and cover art is not done by AI but by my good friend Amon-kun] ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ WARNING/DISCLAIMER: This series uses ætiological mythopoeism to spotlight coincidental parallels between various religious scriptures, and scientific theories but is in no way discrediting or belittling the beliefs of others whether that be Creationist or Evolutionist.

The Regressed SSS-Rank Water Mage Wants To Live a Calm Life

"Are you trying to tell me that the man who made the entire Northern continent tremble works in a flimsy bar? And he's a Water Mage???" The Emperor asked his knight. "Yes, sir. I saw him with my own eyes. He has two pet dragons and—" "Good gods! The legendary dragons that historically disdain humans as his pets?! We must have this man as our own at all cost!" The Emperor screamed in amusement, "Say, when you approached this man to speak with him, what was his reaction?" The knight gulped. "He... offered my men and I drinks, and told us to tell you, the Emperor, to visit his bar sometime." The Emperor's eyes widened, and narrowed back as he smiled. "Well, I just might." ______ Once upon a time, Maxwell Duvon Belognia was a reject. In fact, he was kicked out of his noble house for his lack of talent! And to top it all off, his noble family was one that had produced reputable flame mages for ages! Maxwell, who had an affinity to water magic, was a good-for-nothing reject. Disowned by his family, he ventured out into the world to build his own solid ground, and he discovered that his talent in the path of water was much more than his family had ever imagined. And along the way, he made friends that he loved more than his own blood, allies that could give their lives up just for his sake, and the best of all — he fell in love with a woman who gave him her heart and her soul. Maxwell was a happy man. But... ...Unfortunately, a world ending disaster struck on his world. And in just a few seconds, Maxwell lost everything dear to him. Including the love of his life who he'd just had an argument with few hours ago. He couldn't even remember what the reason for that argument was, but he knew it was his fault. To top it all off, Maxwell and his friend who barely survived were saved by a nameless being, dragged and thrown into another world. There, in that devastating world, the water mage and his friend struggled to survive. To live, they had to fight. To fight, they had to grow stronger. And so they fought for years, eventually growing strong enough to leave that world and venture into the vast cosmos. But the wider universe wasn't any much different from that cruel world. They still had to fight to claim a place. Until finally, they rose to the position of divinity and became gods. During all these years of constant struggling, fighting and ascending, Maxwell never forgot his love. The pain of his loss clawed at his heart at every given moment. How ironic it was for a god to fall victim to the pain of mortals. Maxwell was steadily approaching the end of his being. And just when he thought his soul would fade without seeing his love again... "Why don't we break one of the ten absolute rules proffered by the Celestial King to restrict the workings of gods?" His friend suggested. Maxwell's eyes widened. "What rule?" He asked. "Regression." And so, after fighting to go against the will of the Guardians, gods and celestials of the twenty four heavens, Maxwell's soul finally regressed with eons worth of knowledge... ...To the time when he was just kicked out of his noble house. And the best part? All his divine authorities as a god — although weakened — were still linked to his soul, including his pocket space which held his treasures. And because of this, to the eyes of everyone on his planet, Maxwell was a ridiculously overpowered being. When news of this enigmatic, overpowered water mage spread amongst the four continents of Cryst, every monarch and every major power wanted him for themselves. But the man in question? "I've lived a life full of suffering, battles and wars. Now, with the second chance that came with my regression, I just want to live a calm life. And to do that, I'll have to stop the world ending disaster that'll come in a few years. But for now..." He opened the door to his bar, smiling as he gazed at his customers and his wife waiting for him behind the counter. "This is enough."

Scholar's Mate

“In an age where knowledge cuts deeper than knives, Victoria is about to learn far more than is safe for any soul to bear.” Victoria and Robert were torn from the gentle dullness of their ordinary century and cast into a realm governed by proto-concepts—those ancient, unblinking truths from which life, death, and divinity themselves are carved. Proclaimed “Heroes” by a world too desperate to question its own choices, they were commanded to rise in strength, confront a Demon Lord, and deliver salvation to a land that had never been theirs. Robert donned the mantle with the fervour of a man stepping into destiny. Victoria… hesitated. And in that hesitation, something old—older than scripture, older than light—turned its gaze toward her. She felt its attention like a draft through a locked room. In a moment poised between terror and terrible understanding, she accepted its offer: a contract sealed in silence, a year of her life exchanged for a thing that should never have been permitted to exist. Not in this world. Not in any. She did not yet grasp that, in straying from the Hero’s ordained path, she had not merely shifted her fate— she had begun to unwrite the very scaffolding of her humanity. Now Victoria walks like a phantom through a world that has marched on without her— one year behind the celebrated Hero, yet burdened with an insight so sharp it threatens to cut her free from mortality itself. She can now trespass upon knowledge forbidden to scholars, sorcerers, or even those who stand at the pinnacle of human mastery. She commits the kind of acts whispered only of beings who have stepped beyond the human threshold… and never returned. And in a world built on primordial, immovable truths, one truth endures: Knowledge is power. But power, when mishandled, becomes a curse that devours its bearer— quietly, inevitably, like rot beneath embroidered silk.
