In the year 2766, humanity survives inside heavily fortified Domes, hiding from the mutated horrors of the wasteland. To survive in the slums of Krakatoa City’s Outer Ring 7, Edgar lived as a degenerate street hypnotist, scraping together silver to pay off local gangs. He thought his Awakened trait—detecting basic electronic and polar wavelengths—was just a cheap trick to manipulate fools. He was dead wrong. Kidnapped by a shadow organization and thrown into the brutal, hyper-violent "Cleaning Department," Edgar’s true potential is violently unlocked. His brain doesn't just detect frequencies—it functions as a living, breathing biological oscilloscope, visualizing electronic circuits, bypassing high-level security grids, and mapping the invisible strings of reality. But the true horror of his path lies in his evolution. To grow, to heal, and to survive the psychopathic frontliners of his own squad, Edgar must do the unthinkable: hunt down mutated targets and consume their cellular mutations. From a penniless street fraud to a bio-mechanical apex predator, Edgar will tear through corporate families, corrupt AIs, and rival domes. Because in a world of undying minds, only the ultimate predator gets to sleep peacefully. [Warning: Contains a deeply cynical protagonist, heavy dark humor, cigarette addictions, and an insomniac who will slaughter hypothetical sheep to get some rest.]

Engineer of the Titanic - Series Description Rating: MA18+ | 12 Episodes | Genre: Historical Tragedy, Psychological Drama In the spring of 1912, twin brothers Akira and Haruto Shirogane board the RMS Titanic carrying their late father's dreams and their mother's sacrifices across an ocean toward America. Akira, a brilliant 23-year-old engineer, has been hired to inspect the ship's revolutionary systems — and almost immediately begins finding the warnings nobody wants to hear. Haruto, a compassionate medical researcher, spends the voyage doing what he's always done: seeing the fragile humanity in everyone the ship's splendor tries to hide, from a grieving Irish fiddler to a trapped first-class daughter fighting to be seen as more than decorative. When the ship strikes the iceberg on April 14th, Akira's calculations prove devastatingly correct — and utterly useless against the arithmetic of who gets to survive. In the ship's final hour, Haruto makes an impossible choice, forcing his brother into a lifeboat while he stays behind, twenty meters of freezing water becoming a distance that will outlive them both. What follows is not a disaster story. It's the story of what survival actually costs — a young adult's descent through grief, depression, and a series of losses that never stop arriving, and the slow, unglamorous work of building something out of wreckage that doesn't disappear. Where love is measured against arithmetic, where promises outlast the people who made them, and where healing looks less like recovery than like learning to carry weight without breaking again — Engineer of the Titanic asks what's left of a person after the ship goes down, and what they choose to build from it. "Some distances can never be closed. Some promises can never be broken."

Beyond it lies the Hunting Realm—a place where monsters are born from fallen Hunters, and something is beginning to push through.

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

In the cursed world of Eden, every individual is born with an anomaly—an uncontrollable power that can be either a fortifiable quirk or a catastrophic force. The Source, a powerful research organization, led by a prophesied Demigod girl, has long kept dangerous anomalies in check, but it easily gets overpowered when a mysterious virus emerges, transforming humans into omnipotent, soulless entities. The selfish government and powerhouses use this chance to ostracize the prophesied girl to reside far beyond the border and destroy the Source. Decades later, Zafer joins a new uprising faction, seeking nothing but recognition in the world with no restrictions. During his quest for strength, Zafer accidentally becomes a pivotal player in bringing about a new world order, one that will alter the fate of Eden forever. As Zafer rises, he finds himself allied with— and opposed to— the most formidable humans and god-like entities the world has ever seen. Through shocking revelations, clashes with power beyond imagination, and belief-challenging events, Zafer must discover his true purpose and identity in a world on the brink of transformation. Will he become a hero, a villain, or join with the prophesied girl? I WILL NEVER SIGN A CONTRACT, HENCE PLEASE DON'T SEND ME COINS OR SUCH. WRITING IS JUST A HOBBY FOR ME!
