In the Post Futuristic Era, the world was an uneven mosaic of progress. Towering cities of chrome and glass were inhabited by humans and sentient machines working side by side, while only a few hundred kilometers away, villages still lived in wooden houses and tilled soil with iron tools like people centuries before.

Frankie woke up and found himself in the Fallout verse with a complicated identity. He was at least blessed with the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. system which gave him the tools he needed to survive.

What happens when you die, do you go to heaven, do you go to hell, do you turn to nothing, do you become one with an almighty god, are you perhaps reborn? Azar, having lived three lives in full, now sitting on his deathbed knows well of happens after you die... First, a life as an officer turned general in which he led and commanded a war unlike any other in all of history for his nation. Notably being the last human commander in history, before all was replaced by machine. He lived and loved to 150 in that life. Then in the second, he was an artist and traveler of lands truely a mere footnote in a world of empires... Until he seduced and married the daughter off one of romes leading autocrats, gained influce and became emperor, a post he served for 30 years, then he retired had kids and lived life to the fullest. In that life he lived to nearly 100 before his brain gave out on him and he lost will to continue on in a decaying body. Then in the third he was the son of a low ranking noble in Persia, born not long before invasion of the Arabs. He retreated to China with the rest of his family and much of the other nobility of what had once been. There he learned as much as he could, from language to philosophy. Then he traveled China and the surrounding areas, building connections with the rich and affluential, the wise, and the strong. Then with an army at his back he returned to his fellow persians fashioning himself as something of Zoroaster reborn. He then reconquered Persia and became a god-king. He managed to squeeze a good 70 years out of that life and filled with melancholy he wondered where and when he would be born again. Little did Azar know this time it would be different. Instead of Earth, he would be reborn in a world of Ice and Fire, but not the one he vaguely rembered. This was the world 8,000 years before the birth of Daenerys Targaryen, a time in which the world had only just exited from the long night, a time in which men were still conquering and carving kingdoms anew. The age of heros... But this is not Azar's story. This is the story of his proginy and their effect upon this world of Ice and Fire. This is the story of the greatest of the clan, of the end. This is the story of Ariwyn Sterling and the Wind...

Born of blood and yet so disgusted by the sight of it, that was Sephtis, the greatest necromancer the heavens would ever know and also it's greatest nightmare to come. Sephtis, a being who was most surely not human but neither was he a demon nor a beast, hating the sight of blood yet there exists no greater master in the art of slaughter than he. His ever growing army razing down cities, countries, continents, entire worlds and eventually perhaps everything else. He was the definition of a nightmare, his name alone scaring even shadows away and his presence leaving nothing but destruction everywhere it touches. And to the world's greatest surprise something incredible had happened, the unstoppable force had vanished from the surface of the world one day with no explanation nor answer as to his whereabouts. The world finally knew peace, the gods were praised for an entire month straight for answering their prayers, losing themselves in wine, music, food and carnal desire, this was heaven. But as always peace is never a long-lived thing, Darkness is never really truly gone, only just temporarily withheld and the greatest nightmare in history would be returning once more, this time so much greater than ever before and making sure that he completes his mission without fail.

Ralph transmigrated into the world of One Piece. Right at the start, he was rescued by Luffy — only to discover, in shock, that Luffy had become a cute short-haired girl! Luffy… a girl?!!! Luffy had turned into Lufia — how was this adventure supposed to unfold now? She’s the granddaughter of a Marine vice admiral, the daughter of a revolutionary, and since childhood has been led astray by a certain red-haired pirate, dreaming of becoming the Pirate King. She’s optimistic, passionate, and full of dreams. Along the journey, regardless of gender, people are inspired by her, gathering around her as friends. In the end, everyone realises she is the Sun Goddess, destined to save the world! This… actually sounds pretty reasonable! After a kiss that sealed their bond (well — CPR), Ralph’s system awakens. His main quest: become the man of the Pirate King! As long as he gains characters’ affection, he earns rewards — the Six Powers, Haki, navigation skills… Gaining Lufia’s favor makes him grow even stronger. Become the Pirate King’s man, the partner of the Sun Goddess, and the ultimate reward will be granted! Big reward or not, it doesn’t really matter — like the One Piece itself, it might all be intangible anyway. What really matters is that I love girls with short hair, easygoing personalities, and serious foodie tendencies! I’m definitely going to become the Pirate King’s man! Sanji — I’ll compete with you in cooking! Zoro — I’ll compete with you in swordsmanship! Usopp — I’ll compete with you in bragging! Franky — I’ll compete with you in being outrageous! As long as it boosts Lufia’s affection, I’ll do anything! Robin — please don’t fall for me, my heart belongs only to Lufia! Hancock — you’re the worst offender, don’t think being beautiful is enough to—

Himanshu was just an ordinary eighteen-year-old—an orphan scraping through life—until a heated argument about Karna and Arjuna became the last conversation he would ever have. Struck down by a god’s wrath for daring to question divine actions, his life ends abruptly… but not completely. Before his soul can fade into oblivion, he is summoned by Lord Shiva. Declaring that Himanshu’s death was unjust and premature, Shiva offers him a second chance—one bound not by mercy, but by purpose. A sacred duty awaits him in a world where Dharma is on the verge of collapse. Reborn in the era of the Mahabharata, Himanshu quickly realizes something is terribly wrong. The timeline exists. The kingdoms stand. The great war approaches. But the one who anchors destiny itself… Lord Krishna is missing. Without Krishna, the balance between Dharma and Adharma begins to shatter. Heroes waver. Villains rise unchecked. Fate itself grows unstable. Armed with three extraordinary boons—a mysterious system that rewards his actions, unnatural luck, and unmatched talent in all arts and combat—Himanshu steps into a story that was never meant to unfold this way. But in a world where destiny has lost its guide… Even the smallest change can birth unimaginable consequences. As he navigates alliances, alters events, and challenges the very will of the gods, Himanshu must confront a terrifying truth: Is he here to save this world… —or to decide if it deserves to be saved at all? ====================================== (Author note:) This story was a heavy A.U and all those characters belong's to the OG creator of the epic.

Rust shouldn't exist. In the gleaming city of Argentas, magical constructs serve the wealthy as tools—until they break. Then they're dumped in the Ashfall Scrapyard and forgotten. But when a failed artificer experiment gains sentience among the refuse, it becomes something new: a trash golem made of rusted swords, broken wands, and discarded dreams. Every magical item Rust absorbs makes it stronger, smarter, more conscious. From thing to person, from scrap to warrior, from garbage to god. The scrapyard reveals its secrets—discarded memory crystals holding conspiracies, broken surveillance orbs witnessing crimes. The nobles aren't just throwing away trash. They're burying evidence. When Mira, a human scavenger girl, enters the dump searching for her lost brother, Rust discovers the truth: the wealthy dispose of witnesses like garbage. Together, they must expose the corruption and save hundreds of discarded souls. But that's just the beginning. Rust's journey spans five books, from surviving the scrapyard to commanding armies of resurrected warriors, from defeating cruel slavers to hunting fallen gods. It evolves from construct to humanoid AI with deep consciousness and burning emotions—rage, love, grief, hope. Along the way, Rust builds a harem of devoted mates across species: human, elf, beastfolk, divine beings. Each relationship teaches something about connection, passion, and what it means to truly live. The ultimate goal: create **Salvage Heaven**—an infinite dimensional kingdom where every discarded being finds home. Not revenge through destruction, but redemption through creation. Rust becomes the Eternal Rust Emperor, god-protector of all the unwanted across infinite universes. In Argentas, they judged Rust by what it was made of. Now Rust judges them by what they threw away.

But that all ended when he was betrayed by his own people and beheaded by his arch-rival. As Alexander's consciousness faded away all he could think of is all the faults he made, how he could have avoided them, how unlucky he had been, and his wrath and unwillingness to die at the hands of the man he hated most! But unexpectedly he was given not only the answers to these questions, but also a second chance to right all his many wrongs.

Shen Zhu never knew tenderness. He knew the whip before words, poison before hunger, and death before he understood what life meant. Behind every blow and wound, eyes watched him with a love that looked nothing like mercy, and hands pushed him to fall so they could teach him how to rise. He grew up in a world that gives nothing for free, where strength is measured in scars, friendship is built upon the corpses of beasts, and fate smiles mockingly at those who try to escape it.

DISCLAIMER: The story is gonna be a drawn out one with lots of long segments just like the synopsis below. A young Indian IAS officer dies in the opening days of India’s descent into World War III—only to awaken in another world. At first, he takes this second chance at life more easily than he did his first. But as he studies the world around him, he discovers something far stranger. Its peoples, kingdoms, religions and civilisations bear an uncanny resemblance to those of Earth’s own ancient past. The difference is that this world possesses something his never did: magic. Determined not to repeat the mistakes of his old world—or those he made in his previous life—he sets himself an impossible task. He will take a powerful but fragmented civilisation and forge it into something new: a nation capable of surviving the ages to come. But building a nation is not a matter of simply introducing the ideas of a more advanced age. It means breaking old institutions, reshaping armies, transforming economies, building industries, challenging powerful nobles and convincing millions of people that they belong to something larger than their kingdom. This time, he will change history before it reaches the point of no return. Before it takes turns he cannot accept. Before the consequences of those choices fall upon generations yet to come. And before someone like him is forced to make the choices he once did—This time, he will change history before it reaches the point of no return. Before it takes turns he cannot accept. Before the consequences of those choices fall upon generations yet to come. And before someone like him is forced to make the choices he once did—choices that may save a nation, yet leave their maker hated for generations, or forgotten in the annals of history, even by those closest to them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- A/N: I am a CA student so don't expect consistent uploads. Other then that I am a nerd so know a lot but if you find anything badly written or factually wrong please let me know. Disclaimer: If you are looking some white washed version of things especially religion and culture, please drive clear of this. I am a history nerd and will take things as they were, though with my own change in it as well. And this is not to say my views as same as the MC, I will have him be critical of things then I might be, both for Sanathana and others especially for Abrahamic ones. And again this will be as much as possible grounded in reality of the era. Another, this is more like a top down view of a story, you can expect the MC to invent some things and push some other but he isn't some all knowing dude as such I have other characters he teaches in order to get through scientific breakthroughs. And this applies even for the non-industrial parts, to say in other words, side characters are important, atleast for the physical development of the world.

After becoming the Lord of Green Shade Territory, more and more uninvited guests came to Lian's territory.

In a world possessing Extraordinary powers, can an individual truly achieve class mobility through personal valor? No, Extraordinary powers only serve to construct even more rigid class barriers. Here, nobles monopolize Extraordinary bloodlines through marriage alliances, and Priests monopolize the devout believers through Divine Arts. And yet, just when the rulers believe their dominion is eternally secure, a great change is always imminent. Velin, a Ph.D. in biology, happens to transmigrate and, by chance, binds to a Bloodline Modification System. From beetles to giant dragons, from vines to the World Tree, from the bloodless to the Sacred Relic Bloodline. He will begin as a pioneer lord, stepping over the corpses of the greedy, bathing in the blood of the arrogant. Leading a group of impoverished, defiant, and righteous "lesser people," step by step activating bloodlines, developing his territory, expanding his borders, establishing an independent nation, overthrowing tyranny, and dismantling theocracy.

To cope with the fierce competition between the various Cosmoses, the top-tier gods of the prime Cosmos to which Blue Star belongs, inspired from an unknown source, organized a Lord Competition that spans the entire Cosmos. With the spirituality of intelligent lifeforms as the core, supplemented by the power of a world, they are cast into the chaos outside the Cosmos. The power of chaos is transformed into a sanctuary, and the intelligent lifeforms become the masters of these small worlds, known as Lords. Then, using the connection between the intelligent lifeforms and the prime world as a guide, these newly created small worlds are drawn into the prime Cosmos. Then, through the competition, powerful Lords are selected. The eliminated Lords will have the connection to their territories severed and will be sent back to their original worlds. A portion of their territories will be given as rewards to the powerful Lords, while another portion is absorbed by the prime Cosmos, taken by the gods, or becomes a new planet in the Cosmos. The competition will continue until the participating Lords become gods, only then will they be able to leave the competition. An unknown amount of time has passed, and another competition is about to begin. Lin Yu, with his god-tier talent, drew a World Tree Seed from the novice benefits, creating a World Tree Territory and bringing new changes to this Cosmos.

Wang Yi transmigrated to a lord game world. Here, opening blind boxes was originally a low-yield matter, But under the blessing of his Dual Talent, all sorts of creative items came one after another.

"How come you have so many strange and bizarre things?" "They are all from opening blind boxes!"

After fresh rain in the empty mountains, the evening air brings the feel of autumn. Li Xiang brandished his self-made High-Density Chopping Knife, and with a single strike, a bamboo stalk as thick as a bowl's mouth snapped and broke. Suddenly, an ordinary earth viper shot out. With a gentle flick of his knife's tip, Li Xiang severed the earth viper's vital spot, and its ferocious head fell to the ground. System: "Congratulations, Host, for killing the Tier One Exotic Beast. You have received a surprise reward." "What the hell? This ordinary earth snake is an Exotic Beast?" Li Xiang pinched his chin and fell into deep thought. "...It's supposed to mutate ten years from now when the Apocalypse arrives and demonic and monstrous energies invade, right? Hmm, I've just slain an Exotic Beast in its infancy. My merit is immeasurable."
