Nulls

Nulls woke inside a body that breathed, bled, died and would eventually rot and be eaten by the vermin of the world. He remembers fire. A detonation that erased everything. Not just places and people. Concepts. Histories. The gods that had watched over him and the ones he had never known. All of it gone in a flash that had no color because color itself was consumed. The detonation was his doing. Something went wrong. Something always goes wrong when you try to cure a disease by killing the patient. The hunger that drove his people could not be cut out. It could only be destroyed along with everything else. So he destroyed everything else. The screams of species that never existed anymore. The death cries of stars that had names in languages now forgotten. The silent agony of laws of physics unraveling. He heard them all. He remembers them all. Something endured. A library of forbidden knowledge survived the fire. Its pages scattered across the bones of what was, drifting through the void between realities, waiting in the dark for hands that could still read. Nulls did not build it to withstand the explosion. He built it because some knowledge deserves to outlast its creators, even if no one remains to understand it. Those pages float now. Somewhere. Waiting. He woke in this body. This fragile, bleeding, dying body. The air here smells of rot and growth and the constant churn of things consuming other things. The sun is a ball of fire that will eventually cool. The people here build cities and tell themselves stories about meaning. Nulls feels echoes. The psychic scar tissue of the detonation infests the soil of this reality. Buried beneath the noise of this young world, something stirs. A seed. A potential. The same hunger that destroyed everything he knew, waiting to sprout again. He will not cure it this time. He will wander. From world to world, across realities he has never seen, through civilizations that have never heard his name. He will gather power. He will sharpen himself into a weapon. He will become the thing his people became, the monster he destroyed, so that no one else has to. When a civilization reaches too high, he will be there. When their scientists crack the first laws that should remain uncracked, when their philosophers glimpse the hunger waiting in the void, when their children start to dream of consumption, he will descend. He will hear every scream. Every cry. Every plea from mothers begging for their children, from fathers who cannot protect their families, from priests whose idols will die beside them. He will hear their prayers and he will kill their idols too. He will carry every sound, every face, every moment of agony. He will bear that weight so that no one else has to. The screams will follow him across worlds. They will gnaw at him in the quiet moments between genocides. He will remember every single one. There is no one else left to remember. There is no one else left to do what must be done. The pages of his library drift through the dark. Waiting. One day, perhaps, someone will find them. One day, perhaps, they will understand what was lost and why. But that day is not today. Today, Nulls stands on the soil of a young world, in a body that can die, and begins to walk. In the end, there will be no idols left to pray to. Only Nulls. And he stopped listening a long time ago.

Who is the Villain?

[If you are looking for a slow romance, you can give it a check if not, you'll be disappointed] Aera, a young 28-year-old was about to make her dream debut by opening her own floral shop that could be shipped in and around. Nevertheless, things didn't go as she planned. One would say that transmigrating to a book sound like a fantasy, however to Aera, it became a nightmare when she woke up in an unknown world even when she hasn't died yet. With an unexpected turnout, her life was hanging by a thin thread. Aera was presented with an option-either she goes back to her world with her memory erased or enter the other world, and comes back with the memory intact to have her revenge. Never did she expect of choosing the worst villain of all. A character in a book where she killed the Empress and her unborn child. Worst, the male lead was reborn time after time with his memory intact. His grudge still hung on torturing the villainess. Even more worst, the ML was a split image of her long-time crush. ----- "Do you hate me that much?" As soon as the question was raised, a table lamp flew past through the said person, smashing against the wall behind him. "More than enough to kill you right now." The female figure responded with nothing but hatred and disgust in her tone. Her jewel eyes that glow under the dark never left her gaze on the other male person who was sitting on her opposite. ----- The male lead wasn't the only one Aera had to put a guard on but even other characters when one after the other began to make an appearance. The more the flow gets out of the plot the more twisted it gets. Her only goal was to survive so she could go back home.  P.S:- English is not my first language and I am weak in grammar. I'll be happy to receive either a critics or feedback or comments...^-^ Please do give it a read till chapter 3 or above to get the clear picture.

Pokémon Harvest Moon: A Ranch Story

Alternate Title: Pokémon: Ranch Story/ Pokémon: Story of Seasons Silas transmigrates into the Pokémon world. After traveling for three years, his hidden cheat finally awakens, and he purchases a long-neglected, barely functioning ranch in the Kalos region. The Pokémon on the ranch soon begin to undergo wondrous transformations. A kindhearted battle god Kangaskhan that can send a Snorlax flying with a single punch; a soft, sweet-smelling, universally beloved Cinccino with MAX beauty; and a Cyclizar suspected of being a reincarnator, wielding extraordinary abilities… … That year, Ash had just set out on his journey, and the gears of the world began to turn… That year, Team Rocket dominated Kanto and embarked on a campaign to expand into other regions. That year, Lance became the champion of the first-ever Pokémon World Championships. That year, Silas became a proud ranch owner and began a brand-new chapter of life. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TN: This fanfiction is heavily inspired by Pokemon A New Path/ Pokemon Not A Trainer this Time, so you will find quite a lot of similarities that the author copied but this novel is more of a Slice of Life, Cooking and interaction with the ranch Pokémon as the story goes further. Also so the female lead is probably Diantha but I'm not really sure of it yet even though I'm pretty far off in the chapters since the romance is really thin.
