A story of a corporate slave who died from work exhaustion. I'm Chen Xuwu who lives back in the Zhongyao Continent where the cultivators are, and accompanied by the system. Stay tuned for our stories on this vast continent thank you.

Half a century has passed since the fall of Wi, the nation of the Celestial Scions, once blessed by the divine entity Sahngjon. On Birahng, a remote island untouched by the swords of the new dynasty, Dahn, the last two scions of Wi and their loyal followers lie in wait, their hopes clinging to an ancient prophecy. Finally, the crimson star foretold in the prophecy appears, igniting a fire of ambition in the hearts of the two scions. Meanwhile, in the Dahn kingdom, the king, alarmed by the growing unrest among his people, dispatches his ambitious third child, Kyeong'ui, to Birahng, the island where the crimson star has descended. Amidst a clash of desires and destinies, the crimson star hangs in the balance. Whose path will it illuminate?

We wrestle not against flesh and blood…” There are stories the Church forgot. Names erased from scripture. And sins buried so deep, even Hell won’t speak of them. In the heart of a sleepless city, something ancient is waking. Threads are pulling. Voices are returning. And across the world, unnatural things are moving like shadows beneath the skin of reality. A girl marked by silence. A man who walks between damnation and divinity. And a war that no one remembers starting. Some hunt for answers. Others hunt for power. But there are a few who hunt the smoke — because they know where there’s smoke… there’s something trying to stay hidden.

Trong một thế giới mà bản chất được dệt nên từ vô vàn tầng lớp của những ràng buộc vô hình, nơi từng phân tử hiện hữu đều bị khắc ghi bởi định luật của sự trói buộc và mỗi linh hồn đều là con rối bị điều phối bởi chuỗi xích vô tận của nguyên lý. Và trong chính sự điên cuồng ấy, một phản nghịch đã nảy sinh...Từ phản nghịch đó, đứa con của tự do đã ra đời, không phải như một sinh vật, mà như một dị điểm của toàn thể. Lumine là một mầm mống không thuộc về trật tự, một tồn tại gào thét giữa vòm trời bất động, một biểu tượng sống của khước từ mọi gông cùm đã khai sinh ra khát vọng tuyệt đối, hủy diệt mọi ràng buộc. Không phải bằng thù hận, mà bằng chính cơn đói triệt để với tự do tuyệt đối, Lumine và kẻ song hành đã thách thức thực tại, một thực tại vốn là mê cung bất khả phản kháng được dựng nên bởi những kẻ mang danh Thần, những kẻ không tạo ra thế giới mà lại chiếm hữu nó bằng thứ quyền lực mượn danh ý chí. Thế nhưng, ngay khi bàn tay họ tưởng đã chạm đến thứ ánh sáng rực rỡ nơi cuối đường hầm, cái ánh sáng mà họ nghĩ là sự giải thoát thì chính vòm trời ấy sụp đổ, và thực tại cười khẩy bằng tiếng cười của vô số bánh răng vận mệnh gãy vụn. Họ không bị đánh bại bởi kẻ thù, mà bởi chính quy luật đã thối rữa của cái thế giới họ muốn phá tan, nơi mọi hành động dù nhỏ bé nhất cũng bị tính trước trong một ma trận tuyệt đối của hệ quả. Đắng cay thay, cái chân lý mà họ đuổi bắt, cái chân lý trần truồng, tinh khôi và thuần khiết nhất... tự do lại nằm ngay trước mắt họ, song bị che khuất bởi sự tồn tại của một điều không nên tồn tại...Và chính vì thế, sự tồn tại của hắn không thể được dung thứ. Không phải bởi vì đạo lý, mà bởi vì hắn là dấu chấm hết của mọi diễn ngôn. Kẻ đó không nên tồn tại. Không phải bởi vì hắn sai, mà bởi vì hắn là thứ thuần túy, một lỗ hổng mang hình người trong thân thể của một thế giới đang hấp hối vì chính những gì hắn cho phép tồn tại.

# The Epic of Arjun - Synopsis ## Setting The dense forests of Dandakaranyam in ancient Bharath, where traditional ways of life and the code of dharma still govern the land. ## Main Characters **Arjun** - A sixteen-year-old with the classical heroic build of ajanubahu (arms extending to his knees), trained in combat and archery. Despite his warrior training, he has a compassionate heart that abhors unnecessary killing. **Devavrath** - Arjun's grandfather and mentor, a formidable warrior whose true identity remains mysterious. Though aging and ill, he possesses extraordinary combat skills and deep wisdom about threats facing the motherland. ## Plot Summary Young Arjun lives a secluded life in the forest with his grandfather Devavrath, undergoing rigorous training in archery and combat. When his grandfather falls ill, Arjun ventures into forbidden territory to gather rare medicinal herbs, despite warnings about the dangers that lurk there. In the tiger's domain, Arjun encounters a fierce tigress protecting her two cubs. The tigress, already wounded from territorial battles and desperate to protect her young, attacks the intruder. Faced with an impossible choice, Arjun reluctantly kills the tigress in self-defense but saves her orphaned cubs, bringing them home to raise as his own responsibility. This act of compassion comes with a price - Devavrath demands that Arjun double his training efforts. Through increasingly challenging exercises, including hitting targets while dodging his grandfather's attacks, Arjun's skills are pushed to their limits. As the training intensifies, Devavrath reveals a shocking truth: Arjun is not just a forest dweller but a Kshatriya with a destined role to protect Bharath from foreign threats that are gathering in the shadows. The rigorous training is preparation for a greater purpose - to defend the motherland from "foreign beasts" who wait to strike. ## Central Themes - **Dharma vs. Personal Desire**: Arjun's struggle between his natural compassion and his duty as a warrior - **Responsibility and Sacrifice**: Taking responsibility for consequences of one's actions (raising the tiger cubs) - **Hidden Destiny**: The revelation that Arjun's simple forest life is actually preparation for a greater calling - **Master-Student Bond**: The deep relationship between Devavrath and Arjun, built on trust, wisdom, and unspoken secrets ## Conflicts **Internal**: Arjun's moral conflict about killing and his confusion about his true identity and purpose **External**: The immediate physical challenges of survival and training, with hints of a larger conflict brewing for the future **Generational**: The tension between Devavrath's knowledge of greater threats and Arjun's current innocence about the wider world ## Story Questions - What is Arjun's true heritage and why is it being kept secret? - What are the "foreign beasts" that threaten Bharath? - Why is Devavrath's time running out, and what will happen when he's gone? - How will Arjun's compassionate nature reconcile with his warrior destiny? ## Tone Epic and mythological, blending intense action sequences with philosophical depth. The narrative carries the weight of ancient Indian storytelling traditions while exploring timeless themes of duty, sacrifice, and the price of protecting what one loves. This opening chapter establishes Arjun as a reluctant hero whose journey from compassionate youth to defender of dharma promises to be both physically and spiritually transformative.

#Synopsis: ------------------------------------------------------ In the far future the planet earth is full, and thanks to 3 key technologies, genetic manipulation, cryosleep, and advanced space engines, humanity builds deep space spaceships and launch themselves to the unknown confines of space to forge a new future away from home. Follow our young engineer Erik as he starts on his first job at the young age of 60 years old in future earth where humans will live hundreds of years, he will reach an unknown place with his spaceship by accident and to survive he will have no choice but to explore alien structures and hunt dangerous monsters to get stronger, making alliances with the locals in more than friendly terms sometimes. ------------------------------------------------------ The protagonist is a young 60 years old "young" engineer, he's easy-going and a good guy, he's been trained so he will know what he's doing most of the time, in "Chapter 1 - A New Beginning" he will explain more, as a human from the future where bodies are just flesh containers, he's fairly openminded (kinda like "Altered Carbon" from Netflix, but different, you can go one day to a genetic center, pay, and get inside a liquid tank and then, the next time you open your eyes your body has already changed, then you get your ticket and go home just like that, but combat modifications would be regulated). ------------------------------------------------------ Hi, NirvanaPenguin here, suggestions on the story are welcome, this is a book I'm gonna write for fun and to get better at writing in preparation for a story I will start next year. ------------------------------------------------------ Discord: https://discord.gg/WPM7a4Dp4J Reddit: www.reddit.com/user/NirvanaPenguin/ Twitter: @NirvanaPenguin Post a review if you liked the book to help me get exposure, thanks.

In a world where survival is earned through blood and Contract, five strangers awaken in the ruins of a Trial designed to kill them. Silas, haunted by memories that aren’t entirely his. Senya, the sharpshooter with a mind like a scalpel. Jex, fire-born and reckless, burning for redemption. Nira, stitched together by science and ghosts. Torren, the feral giant whose rage speaks louder than words. Together, they survive the Hollowforge—a living nightmare that devours the unworthy—and emerge changed. Marked by the Forge. Chosen by Remnants long thought lost to myth. But surviving the Trial is only the beginning. Labeled heretics by the Tribunal and hunted by the very system that forged them, the newly formed team—now called the Ashbinders—must navigate a fractured world ruled by corrupted Remnant Contracts, forbidden Boons, and ancient gods hiding behind broken laws. As the power within them grows, so does the cost. The Remnants whisper. The Tithe stirs. And at the heart of it all, a long-buried truth begins to surface: > One of them will ascend. One of them will fall. And one of them was never meant to live. In a war between what humanity has become and what it tried to bury, the Ashbinders must decide whether to break their Contracts... or become something far worse.

It was the moon we were looking at, hungover. Her eyes were fighting to stay open but she had this fierceness in them. The agony - there's hurt in them and anger, disgust and admiration, all at the same time, but mostly, tears. She's looking at the moon and I'm looking at her. "Isn't it beautiful?" she whispers as the wind hits our face and her locks flutter freely. I reach my hands to tuck them back in place but i pull back as she does it on her own. "Breathtakingly beautiful" i say, not wavering my gaze a bit. She showed me beauty, she showed me grace, she showed me the world isn't as bad a place. ------------------------------------------------------------- Ben Clark is 16 and friendless.

In the martial world, there circulates a mysterious and binding "Life-Death Contract." The bearer must complete a nearly impossible "task" specified in the contract within the stipulated time frame (which could be several years, or perhaps only a few days)—such as: killing a supreme master, stealing a sect's treasured artifact, or protecting a specific person until their natural death. Should the task fail or remain incomplete past the deadline, the bearer will suffer the contract's backlash and die a violent death. Once the contract takes effect, it cannot be discarded or transferred—it follows like a shadow. The contract's origins, method of creation, and ultimate purpose all remain mysteries.

In the drowned ruins of a forgotten world, three fledgling Divers plunge into darkness with nothing but fractured steel, flickering flame—and a dream.
