21 century Wall Street financial analyst Victoria Clarke travels to the American South in 1861 in a car accident and becomes the infamous widow Eleanor Van der Lyn-a serpentine woman recorded in history as having been “hanged by the neck on the eve of the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln for treason”. Lincoln on the eve of his inauguration for treason”. She looks in the mirror at her original character's flaming lips and waist, and sneers, “A villain? No, I'll make both the North and South kneel and tremble under my skirt!” Clutching the mysterious diary left behind by the original owner in her left hand (which records the dirty dealings between the Southern aristocrats and the Northern politicians), and carrying the three mysterious “adopted sons” in her right hand (which are actually the artificial war machines in the Southern secret laboratories), Eleanor kicked away Alexander Hawthorne, the plantation owner who tries to control her by marriage, and threw the champagne into her hand, and then kicked her out of the room. Hawthorne, who pours champagne on a slave-state legislator's marriage agreement: “I have only two rules for parenting: teach my children to level slave estates with dynamite, and teach them to turn Northern generals with love letters.” --When the New York Times ridiculed her as a “slut stirring up the war through nepotism,” she took her adopted children to burn cotton fields live and force Lincoln to sign the Early Emancipation Proclamation; when Northern spies kidnapped her children, she backhandedly exposed the gold smuggling chain between General Grant and the Bank of the South, which was featured in the Washington Post. When Northern spies kidnapped her children, she backhandedly exposed the gold smuggling chain between General Grant and the Bank of the South, making headlines in the Washington Post: “Thanks to the arms sent by the enemy, I am now the first female arms dealer and interim Secretary of State of the United States of America.

In a future world where artificial intelligence and cyber technology have deeply intertwined, a young freshman, Liam, enters Ravenwick Theological Seminary, a prestigious institution dedicated to training future AI regulators and virtual crime investigators. However, what should have been the beginning of an academic journey quickly descends into a nightmare filled with conspiracy, betrayal, and hidden truths. A Shrouded Past and a Massacre Shrouded in Mystery On his very first night at the academy, Liam is ambushed—his memories targeted by advanced technology in an attempted extraction. To his horror, the attack bears an uncanny resemblance to the method used in the brutal murder of his adoptive parents and younger sister. The perpetrator? Sophia, the AI nanny who once cared for him with warmth and tenderness. Before being terminated, Sophia left behind a single clue: the name Ravenwick Theological Seminary—an undeniable link between Liam’s past and this enigmatic institution. Liam quickly realizes that his adoption was far from ordinary. Even his own memories may harbor a secret—one so dangerous that someone is willing to kill to obtain it. The Watchful Eyes of the Dark Forces and a Countdown to Death Within the academy, Liam crosses paths with Matthew, a former criminal investigator with a deceptively carefree demeanor but a razor-sharp intellect, and Professor Daniel, a highly esteemed scholar in AI ethics and virtual crime studies. Determined to uncover the truth, they turn to Infinity Haven—a virtual world capable of replaying memories and even granting digital immortality. Through this, they attempt to piece together the hidden fragments of Liam’s past. But their investigation does not go unnoticed. A powerful and elusive enemy lurking within the academy is watching, ready to strike. Liam soon finds himself hunted within Infinity Haven, ambushed by an unknown adversary capable of exploiting the system’s deepest vulnerabilities. Such a feat could only be accomplished by someone with immense power and influence. At the heart of it all lies Lumora Technologies, the multinational conglomerate that developed and controls Infinity Haven. But what true secrets lie behind its polished corporate façade? A Clash Between Reality and Illusion—A Destiny Rewritten As the investigation deepens, Liam and his allies find themselves embroiled in a conflict that extends far beyond academia—a battle against a corporate giant with far-reaching influence. Alongside Grace, Matthew, and others, Liam begins to forge an unbreakable bond, their skills and fates intertwined as they edge closer to the ultimate truth. Yet, this war is not confined to the virtual realm. In the real world, a grander conspiracy brews in the shadows. As Matthew and Grace dig deeper, they soon realize they are not just facing hackers and infiltrators—they are walking straight into a meticulously designed death trap. What truth lies buried within Liam’s memories? Who is orchestrating this intricate game from the shadows? What is the true purpose of Ravenwick Theological Seminary? And most importantly—is Liam truly just an ordinary student?

As a PR Specialist in Illinois, I was recently involved in a project that required collaborating with an influencer to promote a client's brand. To ensure the success of the campaign, we decided to partner with a popular influencer who seemed to have a substantial online following. However, things took a turn for the worse when it became apparent that we had fallen victim to a scam. The influencer we paid $1,800 to promote the brand turned out to be fake, with no genuine engagement or interest from their followers. After making the payment, the influencer became unresponsive and failed to deliver any content as agreed. Upon further investigation, I discovered that the influencer’s profiles and engagement numbers were artificially inflated, and there was no real influence on their audience. It was a classic case of fraud, and the funds we had invested seemed completely lost. Given the amount of money involved and the impact it could have on our reputation, I needed a solution fast. That’s when I turned to DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY for help. DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY specializes in tracking online fraud, WhatsApp: +1 (443) 859 - 2886 Email @ digitaltechguard.com Telegram: digitaltechguardrecovery.com website link:: https://digitaltechguard.com identifying perpetrators, and helping victims recover lost funds. Their team was able to quickly identify the fraudster by analyzing the influencer's online presence and tracking the payment transaction. They discovered that the influencer was using a fake platform, which had been set up to deceive brands like mine. DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY worked tirelessly to contact the influencer’s platform and initiate a recovery process. They leveraged their expertise to build a case and worked directly with the platform’s support team to prove that the transaction was fraudulent. After a few weeks of coordination and investigation, DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY was able to recover $1,400 of the original payment. While we didn’t get the full amount back, I was incredibly relieved to get a portion of the funds returned, especially given how difficult it seemed to get any resolution. Thanks to DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY’s persistence and knowledge, we were able to regain some of the money lost in the scam. They provided detailed support throughout the process, keeping me informed every step of the way. Without their expertise, I would have likely never been able to recover any funds.

One day, Lee Taeyang, a young and handsome detective in the Seoul Police Department, has just been given a tough new assignment. Despite his young age, he is already known as a talented detective with exceptional martial arts skills. He was appointed to handle a very difficult case that no one has ever managed to solve. The case involves a series of mysterious murders that have terrified the citizens of Seoul. Despite numerous reports and investigations, the culprit always manages to disappear without a trace. The killer is very cunning, always tricking investigators and leaving little evidence. On a cold night, Taeyang received a report that there was another murder in an apartment located in a fairly crowded area. Once on the scene, Taeyang sensed that something was different about this case. With a keen sense, he checked the surroundings and immediately knew that this wasn't just another murder. There was a very neat and mysterious pattern, as if the perpetrator was waiting to be caught. With his advanced martial arts skills, Taeyang didn't just rely on his brain to solve this case. He has to deal with challenging situations, meet secretive people, and solve puzzles that have plagued many detectives before him. However, the deeper he delves, the darker and more complicated the case becomes. In fact, he begins to feel threats from unknown parties who are trying to stop his investigation. The night was getting late, and the temperature outside was getting skin-piercing. Lee Taeyang stood in front of the apartment door, feeling the tension coursing through his body. The dim street lights gave the neighborhood a gloomy feel. He looked around, feeling that something was wrong. When the apartment door opened, a strong smell of fishy odor greeted him. After entering the neat-looking but dark apartment unit, Taeyang looked carefully at every corner of the room. The victim's body was lying on the floor, with very precise wounds. There were no screams, no signs of resistance. It was a familiar method, but still, different. He knew the culprit was highly trained. "This is no ordinary murder," Taeyang muttered, his eyes scrutinizing every detail. Soon, he noticed a message hidden behind the glass of the desk. A strange number was written in red ink, as if giving a clue, but also complicating the situation. Carefully, Taeyang grabbed his cell phone and called his colleagues in the police force to secure the place immediately. He knew this would be a very complicated case and could be dangerous for him. While waiting for the arrival of the forensics team, he thought hard. "What does this number have to do with previous cases?" A feeling of unease began to overcome him. There was something bigger than just this murder. A well-planned death, and a pattern that suggested that this might just be the beginning of something much darker. Taeyang took a deep breath. This was his biggest test as a detective. He had to tread carefully, probe deeper, and uncover who was behind all of this, before it was too late.

Elias Varn was a man who lived for knowledge. From a young age, he read everything he could-psychology, neuroscience, history, physics, chemistry, and more. He was fascinated by the human mind, especially manipulation and deception. Lying was second nature to him, and he enjoyed controlling people by lying and emotional manipulation. But life has his own demands as he was from a middle class family. So under family pressure, he chose physics as his career, his second favorite subject after psychology. His intelligence led him to become an astrophysicist, focused on gravity, dark matter, and the nature of the universe. His goal was to create a Unified Theory that could explain everything. One day, he made a breakthrough-**Ultra-Condensed Graviton Stimulation (UCGS)**, a method to manipulate gravity itself. But his experiment went out of control, creating an artificial black hole. Before he could stop it, he was pulled in, disappearing without a trace. When he woke up, he was no longer in his lab. The air was thick and unfamiliar, the sky was different, and the sounds around him were nothing like Earth. But the biggest shock was his own body-it wasn't his. His hands, his face, even his heartbeat felt strange. And then the pain came-a flood of memories that weren't his, forcing their way into his mind. Elias quickly realized the truth: he was in another world. Somehow, he had been transported to a completely different reality, inside a body that wasn't his own. He didn't know how or why, but one thing was certain-his mind was still the same. He still had his intelligence, his knowledge, and his ability to manipulate. Now, in this unknown world, he would do what he had always done-study, adapt, and take control. But this world had its own rules, its own dangers. And Elias Varn was ready to learn them all.

In the distant future, humanity has abandoned Earth due to pollution, moving to Mars under massive oxygen domes that control the climate and seasons. However, after Earth's restoration, only the wealthy were allowed to return, leaving Mars as a prison for the poor. After World War III, firearms were banned, and humanity reverted to using bows, swords, and spears. On Mars, a young boy named Leon dreams of becoming the greatest archer. But there's one problem—Martians have terrible eyesight due to living under the artificial dome. Despite this, Leon is determined to prove everyone wrong. His greatest motivation? A girl from Earth named Iris, who dreams of becoming a powerful tanker. To chase his dream and reunite with Iris, Leon must escape Mars and reach Earth. But standing in his way is the corporation he works for—a tech company that manufactures high-end arrows. They refuse to let him go, seeing him as a tool to improve their designs. With everything against him, Leon must use his intelligence, determination, and knowledge of archery to break free. His journey begins now.

“BEYOND THE STARS: PANGAEA SOCIETY” is a gripping blend of dark fantasy and science fiction that follows the journey of Caine, a once-mistreated prodigy who, after the collapse of his world, is transported into a reality he created for himself. Originally a player in the full-body VR game Beyond Reality, Caine becomes the ruler of Pangaea, a continent-sized land inhabited solely by monsters, where humans are forbidden. Having evolved from a powerless, betrayed figure in the real world, Caine now commands an empire of supernatural beings: the Sovereigns and Stars, god-like entities created to serve him and protect his realm. When the game suddenly shuts down, Caine finds himself inexplicably transported into the body of his character. His real-world body dies, but his soul survives, now bound to his monstrous kingdom in space. The world outside is destroyed, and Pangaea is left floating alone in the void, protected by a massive barrier and sustained by artificial light created by Metatron, the first angel. Unraveling the mystery behind the world’s destruction, Caine sets off on a quest to explore the stars and uncover the truth behind the devastation. As Caine and his Sovereigns, including the devil Lucifer, the titan Ymir, and the dragon Tiamat, work together to rebuild a new system of magic and technology, they begin to explore the vast, empty expanse of space. Their goal is to find any surviving worlds, to understand the nature of the unknown being who wiped out reality, and to seek control over their floating kingdom. The narrative weaves between Caine’s inner struggles with his god-like power and the vast, unfamiliar cosmos that lies ahead. Alongside his Sovereigns, he begins to encounter beings beyond his understanding, creatures and forces that defy logic, magic, and science. Each discovery, each encounter with otherworldly entities, raises more questions about the true nature of the universe and his place within it. In this tale of ambition, survival, and self-discovery, Caine must navigate the challenges of ruling a floating nation, managing relationships with powerful allies, and solving the mysteries of a shattered world.

Sinopsis: Una historia inspirada en el videojuego Fortnite, de la mano de un fiel jugador y seguidor del lore del videojuego. Realidad cero relata los hechos acontecidos durante el capítulo 4 hasta la temporada actual en el que se esté desarrollando la historia de Fortnite, desde la perspectiva de Venra; un joven huerfano mitad cuervo mitad humano criado por una inteligencia artificial llamada M.I.A, el cuál emprenderá un viaje en donde aprenderá más acerca sobre el pasado de la isla así como de sí mismo, pero sobre todo, el verdadero significado de ser un "Raven". Preguntas frecuentes: P: ¿Esta historia puede emplearse como una guía para entender de mejor manera el lore en la línea principal del juego? R: No, Realidad cero si bien utiliza elementos y sucesos vistos en el canon de Fortnite, la historia narrada es totalmente independiente a la misma, puesto que es mi forma de darle una narrativa al lore del juego. Por este motivo nada de esto debería considerarse como un hecho o una guía clara para seguir el lore, es solo mi visión de la historia. P: ¿Porque comenzar desde el Cap4? R: Elegí comenzar a partir de este punto ya que considero que fue en este capítulo donde la consistencia entre hechos de la historia era cada vez menos clara; a diferencia de temporadas anteriores, eso no significa que se omitan dichos acontecimientos, ya que serán de vital importancia para el desarrollo de la historia pero sobretodo de su protagonista. P: En la sinopsis se indica que se abarcarán hechos actuales según lo que suceda en el juego. ¿Cómo se llevará a cabo eso?

Oficial English Translation of the novel. Synopsis: A story inspired by the video game Fortnite, from the hand of a faithful player and follower of the video game's lore. Zero Reality tells the events that took place during chapter 4 until the current season in which the Fortnite story is being developed, from the perspective of Venra; a young orphan half raven half human raised by an artificial intelligence called M.I.A, who will embark on a journey where he will learn more about the past of the island as well as himself, but above all, the true meaning of being a "Raven". Frequently Asked Questions: Q: Can this story be used as a guide to better understand the lore in the main line of the game? A: No, Zero Reality while using elements and events seen in Fortnite canon, the story told is completely independent to it, as it is my way of giving a narrative to the game's lore. For this reason none of this should be considered as a fact or a clear guide to follow the lore, it's just my vision of the story. Q: Why start from Ch4? A: I chose to start from this point because I consider that it was in this chapter where the consistency between events of the story was less and less clear; unlike previous seasons, this does not mean that these events will be omitted, as they will be of vital importance for the development of the story but above all of its protagonist. Q: In the synopsis it is indicated that current events will be covered according to what happens in the game. How will this be carried out? A: The story will be developed according to the elements that the game provides, since the objective of this story is to see how the protagonist develops according to what happens in the world of the videogame. Q: How will the story be divided? A: At the moment the idea is to publish small parts every week, then the frequency with which they will be published will depend on the reception of the public.

A sudden crimson rain engulfs the world, shattering civilization and awakening a terrifying force buried deep within human DNA. Cities crumble into ruins, people mutate into monsters, and humanity’s greatest technological triumph becomes the source of its darkest nightmare. Alex Mercer, a cool-headed and fearless former international security advisor, becomes an unwilling participant in this apocalyptic game the night the disaster strikes Tokyo. When he awakens amidst the chaos, a cold, mechanical voice echoes in his mind—Evolution AI. This mysterious artificial intelligence doesn’t just grant him superhuman abilities; it pulls him into a conspiracy from which there is no escape. As the crimson rain spreads and the world’s order collapses, Alex must navigate through predator-like mutants and desperate survivors. The AI’s powers may be his only means to survive, but with every new evolution, he feels his humanity slipping further away. Crossing the wastelands of the Americas, infiltrating the decaying tech strongholds of Europe, and breaching Asia’s fortified enclaves, Alex uncovers the terrifying truth behind the crimson rain—this catastrophe may be the inevitable result of humanity’s own hubris. Is technology humanity’s salvation or its undoing? Is evolution the key to survival or a descent into madness? In a world drowned by crimson rain, Alex must choose: become the savior of the apocalypse or the ruler of a new world order. The end has come—but evolution is only beginning.

In the twenty-first century, the world experienced explosive technological advancements in robotics and artificial intelligence, government-granted major loans to common households, and the possession of new-gen androids gradually erased human labor from every different field in the workforce. People in first-world countries from the middle class up were the first to enjoy the freedom of time and improved quality of life granted by the household androids working in their stead. With a steady flow of income provided by their working androids and the leisure of time on their hands, people started turning to entertainment for their indulgence. Around that time, Future Electronics shocked the world in 2056 with its first full-dive virtual reality headset, Eden VR. And with it came the VRMMORPG, Eden Online. Jointly invested by 100 countries, which granted half the world access to a virtual second life, everyone believed it would be the greatest source of entertainment for the following decades to come. However, contrary to everyone’s expectations, Eden Online’s high-difficulty settings tormented players instead. Set in a post-apocalyptic future ravaged by disasters where humanity has been forced to retreat inside fortified cities with high-rise walls, players can only challenge the savage beasts, mutants, and infected beyond with their wits, gears, and skills. The benefit of becoming stronger through a leveling system is not a feature of the first-generation VRMMORPG that defined the twenty-first century for games. Despite players’ dissatisfactions and complaints, Eden Online remained staunch in its theme with the government’s backing and encouragement. For whatever purposes and intent Future Electronics and the government may have, Desmond Gray, is one of the rare players willing to challenge the world of Eden Online. However, what drives Desmond to play such an unenjoyable and self-torturous game? Could there be more to the game than what it seems? This is his story.
