But once a year, the cursed are "Recalled," dragged into the Abyss to face trials orchestrated by the enigmatic Wardens, ancient beings who dwell in its depths. Survival in the Abyss means returning stronger, but failure leaves nothing behind but echoes. Elric, an unremarkable street thief struggling to survive in the poorest district of the floating city of Ashborne, discovers a terrifying secret: he is a Boundling, someone born tethered to a shadow from the Void. His shadow holds unimaginable power, but every time he uses it, a part of his humanity slips away. When Elric is Recalled into the Abyss, he learns the truth about his connection to the Wardens—and realizes that the Void itself is whispering his name. Now, Elric must navigate the labyrinthine depths of the Abyss, forging fragile alliances and confronting ancient horrors, while uncovering the truth behind his cursed existence. The closer he comes to mastering his shadow, the more he risks becoming what he fears most: a creature of the Void.

Depends on my mood. But if you’re really that one persistent reader, I guess you’ve earned this: Thank you. Truly, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart. You’re the reason this story lives on.

When a routine interstellar mission goes awry, Commander Sarah Chen finds herself thrown through a wormhole and marooned on Kepler-9, a verdant world at the fringes of an unknown star system. The planet's inhabitants - a diverse coalition of species ranging from the crystalline Lumini to the shape-shifting Morphs - initially view her with suspicion. But as she learns their ways and shares her own knowledge, Chen transforms from outsider to trusted ally. The peace is short-lived. Kepler-9, the smallest and most resource-rich planet in its system, has long been a target for aggressive neighboring worlds. When Chen discovers that another invasion looms on the horizon, she must unite the planet's fractious species into a cohesive fighting force. Each race brings unique abilities: the Lumini's natural energy manipulation, the Morphs' infiltration expertise, the towering Titans' raw strength, and the microscopic Swarm's collective intelligence. Drawing on her Earth military training and her growing understanding of alien warfare, Chen devises unconventional strategies that play to each species' strengths. As the invasion draws near, she knows that victory will require more than just tactical brilliance - it will demand trust, sacrifice, and the courage to forge a new kind of civilization where humans and aliens stand as equals. But even as she prepares for war, a question haunts her: was her arrival on Kepler-9 truly an accident, or part of something larger? The answer may determine not just the fate of her adopted home, but the future of interspecies relations across the galaxy.

It's the case for one of the most popular pro players, who doesn't shine for his heroic actions; Isaac Jefferson, known under the pseudonym Jack. He finished many games, leaving only his nasty reputation behind, and just as he thought he'd do the same with a strange game called [God-like Online], the world’s undergoing a greater upheaval. Being one of the players, he was dragged into the new world by force and discovered over time that all this wasn't a game from the start but a machination to prepare the earthlings for a disaster much worse than anything they could imagine. -- Before you start, keep certain information in mind. -(No NTR, No R*pe). -Don't expect an overload of clichés. Even if some things seem cliché, they won't be in the long run. -Since English is not my mother tongue, expect to find some spelling mistakes; and reporting them to me will only help me more to make the other chapters more fluid and pleasant to read. -The story contains explicit chapters (+18), but I wanna warn you that it won't be entirely focused on banging only. And don't worry, if you don't appreciate them, you can skip these chapters without any problem, it won't affect the plot as a whole.

(The cover isn't mine) The world of Elysium is a world of legends and magic. A world where swords and the arcane collide is a world full of magical creatures and beasts like dragons and elves and on paper living in a world like this would seem like a dream for fantasy fans. But if you’ve read lord of the rings or literally any fantasy story where there’s conflict on a global scale you know that this could SUCK because in reality it is far from sunshine and rainbows. In reality Elysium used to be nothing but an abandoned husk of a world. Completely void of life the world of Elysium was on the brink of destruction as the planet slowly crumbled and decayed. But that was before “they” appeared. The gods of the universe nicknamed the titans saw potential in this husk of a planet and decided to use their powers over life to not only bring life to the planet in the form of oceans, forests and jungles. But they also created countless species to roam the earth. And as new life entered the world Elysium was also blessed with the same powerful and mystical energy known as Arcane energy or mana which was the same energy the titans wielded. Arcane energy granted those who can wield it superhuman and magical abilities and shortly after the birth of Arcane energy new gods begun to appear and influence the species of Elysium Many species came into existence but there were multiple more intelligent species that were favored by these new gods that came into existence shortly after the birth of new life. The elves were blessed by the elegant and powerful gods of Elysium led by the phoenix god of power phenix and his children. Though few in number this beautiful and powerful species of creatures were blessed with immortality and a talent for the Arcane arts. Durin the father of all dwarves and the first dwarven god blessed with the power of creation created a species of strong and stubborn species known as the dwarves and blessed them with a mastery over fire forging enchantments and craftsmanship and possessed a legendary knowledge over runes. And then there were the humans. Unlike other species they were not strong individually but made up for it with their large numbers and while they did not possess the blessings of the gods they were blessed with the gift of knowledge and evolution. While other species were discovering fire humans were mastering the use of gunpowder. And instead of focusing on mastering the arcane like the elves or enchantments and runes like the dwarves humanity focused on evolving their technology along with their allies the gnomes. However after a war between these species against the demonic creatures of Helheim 500'000 years ago the secret war between man and the supernatural continues waging on so that the public can continue living in peace.
