A story about the sudden end of normal life and how with mysterious help the universe is conquered. The story starts in 2018 in our world and then no longer follows the past events. This story is told from the first person perspective. Sometimes at least i found it very difficult to create many chapters in this style in a really meaningful way for this reason i will only use the first person perspective as a stylistic device for interesting passages or sometimes a chapter. I (the main character) am Surgrim 22 years old and have led a normal life so far. I was rather bad in school and have an education as an IT specialist. Normally I sit at home at the computer and play whatever falls into my hands. But I let my grandma talk me into taking a real vacation on this fateful day. This is the first time I write a story and let other people read it I look forward to any helpful comments. Furthermore, English is not my native language and it may happen that my choice of words is rather strange. Again, please point this out to me so that I can learn and improve. In conclusion, I am writing this story in addition to my full-time job and it will happen that there are sometimes a few weeks no new chapters, but I hope that this is rather the exception. Edit: Vol.1 with 43 chapters is done. Happy reading

It felt real. That was what he kept coming back to. The smell of this room felt real. The weight of this body felt real. The sound of that argument outside felt real in the specific, unremarkable way that real things felt. His first life had been nothing but a bitter, endless struggle. He had lost the handful of people he truly cared about and had been completely helpless to stop it. Then, just when he finally gripped a slight sliver of hope to change his fate, it was violently ripped away, ending with him locked inside a forsaken underground archive. For twenty-four years, he did what he could to survive. At first, he had hope, but the darkness faded it. He had a burning thirst for revenge, but the isolation snuffed it out. He had the will to live, but eventually, even that was forgotten in the dust of the old scrolls. He had become an empty vessel simply waiting for death. And then, on his final day, he accidentally came across a dark red book. The impossible conclusion settled over him like heavy snow. He had regressed. At first, the mere thought felt completely ridiculous. But deep down, in some buried corner of his soul, this was the solitary dream he had prayed for during his darkest nights in the archive. As the decades had bled away, he had convinced himself that second chances didn't exist in a world as cruel as the Murim. There were no do-overs for a ruined life. Yet, here he was. He didn't know what god or devil had granted this miracle, but as the heavy, dark presence pulsed faintly in his mind, he knew with absolute certainty that the book was the catalyst. It had sent him back.

PvZ meets Solo Farming In The Tower. What to expect: - Mature and logical MC who refuse to be devoured by vengeance - A garden full of war crimes - Character driven story over fast-pace progression - Lovable cast of characters - Lore. Lots of lore regarding the dungeons and the civilizations that had fallen within it for you lorebrarians. - Update daily at 6pm CET -------------- “In a gold rush, the position of shovel vendors is reserved for the privileged.” That was a lesson Phong Tran had to learn the hard way. One year after the dungeon appeared, it had become a modern gold rush. People awakened classes, unlocked skills, and dove into the dungeon for its seemingly endless riches and resources. Phong, a level 1 Farmer with a dead EXP bar, naturally gravitated toward becoming a wandering vendor. While other people fought monsters, gained EXP, and became media heroes, he sold them socks, battery banks, and energy drinks. Phong existed in the space between glory and obscurity, until one day, a privileged bastard took everything from him. He was beaten half to death, and his aunt and uncle were “erased” for being inconvenient to those at the top. As if it had a cruel sense of humor, Phong received his first and only quest while lying in his sickbed: “Plant 10 potatoes.” No rewards. No promise of revenge. Just 10 potatoes sitting there, as if to mock his powerlessness. He took the quest. And now, he must conquer the dungeon with only 10 potatoes to his name.

In the small forge town of Blue Star, Zion has spent his life as an unremarkable blacksmith's apprentice — quick with a hammer, quicker with his appetite, and utterly ordinary in a world where turning sixteen means something far more dangerous: an *Awakening*, the moment the void itself reaches into your life and demands you prove what you're worth. But Zion was never ordinary. He was *hidden*. Raised by the enigmatic Granny Iya — a woman who is far more than the stooped old smith she pretends to be — Zion has spent years unknowingly wearing a veil: a shard of black metal that dulls his presence and keeps him invisible to forces that would otherwise have found him long ago. When Granny Iya finally reveals the truth on the eve of her mysterious departure, she offers no comfort, only rules: never lose the veil, never speak of what happens after the Awakening, and above all — stay humble, because power makes fools loud, and loud fools die. Then she vanishes, leaving Zion alone with a hammer, a set of keys, and a secret he doesn't yet understand. When his sixteenth birthday arrives, the void's voice finds him mid-breath at the forge and drags him into an independent trial space — a realm of absolute dark where survival is the only currency. What should have been a manageable test against ordinary beasts spirals into something far more lethal: an *awakened* monster, a creature no sixteen-year-old should ever be forced to face. Bleeding, broken, and out of options, Zion draws on every brutal lesson Granny Iya ever beat into him — and somehow, impossibly, wins. The void rewards him accordingly. Zion emerges branded with abilities that shouldn't exist: a Supreme-grade sight that lets him perceive the hidden "seams" in reality itself, and a rare, evolvable bloodline capable of consuming the world's extremes and turning them into strength. Gifts that are the stuff of rumor and myth — gifts that mark him as something the world was never supposed to produce. He crawls back to the smithy floor bloodied and changed, staring at a town that slept through it all, innocent and unaware. Granny Iya's rules echo in his skull — *don't lose the veil, tell no one, be humble* — but Zion understands now that the life he knew is already ash behind him. What waits ahead isn't a quiet apprenticeship in a dusty town. It's a furnace: a road that will carry him far past Blue Star's borders, into a wider world of power, danger, and the very forces his guardian spent a lifetime hiding him from. Something noticed him. And now, awake, he has no choice but to go meet it.

Two men stood at the end of the world - only one deserved to live. And yet, he could not be sent back. The other one could. Thus starts a story filled with personal growth, finding a will to move forwards when everything seems lost. Thus begins a story where the world rests on one man's (very tiny) shoulders. Thus begins Atlas' story, again.
