Survival: Darkness in the Light

Where there is light, there is darkness, for everything under the sun casts a shadow. But the darkness has depths to it that few know. A world made of shadows, where your wildest dreams come true... as do your nightmares. This is the world where The Mind dwells. Heroes and monsters gather in death, and none come out unbroken. For The Mind controls everything. But even in the darkest darkness, sometimes the light shine. Will it endure, or be snuffed like so many stars gone from the sky? Only by falling into darkness can the answer be found. ------------------- Hey, everyone, and welcome to another project! I went very ethereal and prosaic with this synopsis, so here is the short of it, in a very less vague faction: MC enters a place called The Mind, where he is thrown inside famous fictional worlds (from books, movies, games, and so on). I'm talking Star Wars, Avatar, Indiana Jones, Doctor Who, Matrix, Dune, and many, many others (PS: I'm very open for suggestions in this reggard). If this sounds familiar to you, it's probably because I took a lot of inspiration from the Chinese novel The Ultimate Evolution for the basic premise. TUE is, in my personal opinion, a pretty great story, which becomes average about two-thirds of the way through, and really crashes and burns in the last ten or so chapters (I mean it, those were painful to read). I've kept that opinion for the last decade or so, which was the last time I read TUE, so, although I do admit, again, that I took inspiration from it for the premise, any other similarities are coincidences or some deeply buried memory my subconscious unearthed and convinced me it was my idea. This came to me in a moment of inspiration a year or so ago, and I wrote about 3 chapters then before turning back to my main project. Then, about a month ago, I hit a writer's block with Shattered, and decided to revisit this story to see if it could help overcome it. I have 30 chapters written for it already, so yeah, my muse kinda fixated on this one. I do think it's turning out really good and want to share it with you, tho. Massive shout-out to my Shattered readers for their support. That being said, since this is just a side project, updates will be sporadic after my stockpile is finished, and I can't promise I will finish it. Shattered is still my main focus. But I do hope you enjoy it, and, as always, I'm thankful for all comments, power stones, likes and whatever else depending on which platform you are reading this. The more people show their interest for the story, the more inspiration I get for writing it, so don't be shy! For the warnings/tags: a decent amount of swearing and gore. There will be romance, though, as of when I'm writing this, I don't know with who. Probably not harem, but maybe a couple one-night stands and some casual sex? We will see. No smut because I can't write it for the life of me. MC is smart, but not a genius. He will make mistakes, and it will take a long time for him to become strong enough to just steamroll everyone else, but I'm writing it in a way that doesn't feel forced. It will all make sense once you are about 3 chapters into the story. With all of the above having been said, enjoy! Disclaimer: I obviously don't own anything.

Four Split Personalities

Battling an unusual form of personality dissociation, Motan admits to feeling the weight of immense pressure bearing down on him. Amidst this turmoil, he finds solace in a virtual escape called "The Realm of Innocence," a game that has become his sanctuary from stress. In the realm where ambiguity reigns, Motan's behavior is unpredictable and impetuous, making him the instigator and mastermind behind myriad events that spiral out of control. Yet, within the sphere of virtue, his resilience and courage shine through, earning him the admiration of many who see him as the epitome of a righteous knight and a fair judge. When dwelling in the balance of absolute neutrality, he adopts a demeanor of modesty and lethargy, mirroring the ordinary essence of every soul. Conversely, in the domain of chaotic evil, he transforms into a figure of madness and cruelty, embodying the very essence of a demon and deceiver, showing kindness only to himself. "Tan Mo is the most extraordinary Bard I have ever encountered, though he is... perplexing, to say the least," comments Countess Leisha, reflecting on his complex nature. "Mor is a man of distinguished integrity! Having met him just once, I am convinced that he is someone one can confidently turn their back to," declares Gwen, the leader of the Rose Rot, acknowledging his noble character. "If you're in search of the ideal neighbor, look no further than Hei Fan," recommends Alchemist Luna, suggesting his suitability for companionship. Yet, amidst these varied testimonies, a warning resonates, "Don't talk about that man!" indicating a mysterious, perhaps darker aspect of his persona that remains unexplored.

Global Extraction: My Ultimate Talent is 100% Drop Rate.

What do you do when you fall asleep and suddenly find yourself in a new world? A world where you're forced to carry out certain roles or face almost unavoidable death? This was the fate of over 2 billion people who woke up in the world of Extraction, forced to form a new society. Everyone was offered one of two roles: Extractors, those who fight to obtain Life Gems from monsters killed in zones, and Citizens, those who buy these gems and pay them as taxes to the System every week. This brutal setting was something most people couldn't survive, leading to widespread death and fear among the population. Of course, there was one person who understood the truth—they were trapped inside a game. A game he had beta-tested a long time ago. Aron Sieger. With his knowledge of the game at his disposal, he navigated the world as an Extractor himself, securing loot and making sure to always stay several steps ahead. After all, in order to reach the true ending of the game, he needed to outsmart the system itself. And thankfully, he had obtained several useful skills to help him do just that. [You have obtained the passive skill: Extractor 100%] [All rewards are obtained with 100% drop rate.] [The legendary chest has been opened.] [You can now summon a new pet.] All these features were immediately at his disposal, tools he could use to defeat the game itself. But just how long can he continue to endure the harsh reality of this death game called Extraction Online? Not to mention, would he be able to protect those he cares about along the way?
