Knock At The Cabin Why Were They Chosen

The Chosen of Patruel

Reniel Corven once lived a simple life on Earth as Evan Walker, but fate pulled him into a world both ancient and divine—a realm where the blood of its god flows through the land and its people in the form of mana. What does it mean to belong to a world of swords and magic? Follow Reniel Corven as the mystery unfolds... --- Water on the golden grass and towering flowers glinted in the morning sunshine as blinding scintillations that dotted the forest floor. The branches of towering trees softly swayed and creaked from the gentle, cool morning breeze, their tops slowly gilded by the sun as it rose. The various birds chirped and warbled, and a small ladybug could be seen flying toward a ripe dew drop which sat on the precipice of a flower's petal. Looking down from the serene scene, though, a ghastly view broke the serenity before him: viscous maroon splattered on the rocky, dirt trail. Red crust on pallid skin; disheveled clothes shredded, torn, covered in dried mud, and stained in a deep vermilion; chunks of half-digested food scattered in front of his mouth, which smelled so strongly of bile it was just about the only thing that kept him awake for so long; and worst of it all: a tree laying over him with a large branch piercing his abdomen.  Evan did his best to stretch out his fingers. They twitched for a moment and returned to an unmovable stillness. Inner demons, deepest fears, and final wishes had all created a violent storm of desperation in his mind, but slowly, he could feel that even his mind was beginning to slip from him.

The Day They Walked

In 1972, a groundbreaking discovery by Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen in genetic engineering, where they created the first transgenic organisms by inserting a resistance gene into an E. coli plasmid, sparked both immense scientific excitement and public backlash. While many hailed it as a monumental step forward, others protested, fearing humanity was "playing God." Amidst this controversy, Jeremy Karlson, a renowned paleontologist, recognized the profound potential of Boyer and Cohen's work. He saw it as a means to achieve something unprecedented: bringing dinosaurs back to life. Jeremy, accompanied by his wealthy step-brother Jake, who offered to fully fund the ambitious project, met with Boyer and Cohen. Jeremy revealed that during an expedition in Alaska, his team had discovered a perfectly preserved, 17,000-year-old juvenile dire wolf with intact organs, from which they successfully extracted degraded DNA. He believed that with Boyer and Cohen's expertise in transgenic technology, they could use this DNA, and by extension, potentially dinosaur DNA, to resurrect extinct creatures. Initially hesitant and skeptical of the audacious proposition, Boyer and Cohen were eventually swayed by Jeremy's unwavering confidence and the sheer magnitude of the idea. With Jake's financial backing and Jeremy's bold vision, they agreed to collaborate. The project, estimated to take four to five years, aimed to apply the nascent field of genetic engineering to the realm of paleontology, promising to reshape the world in an unimaginable way. As they left, Jeremy mused that when their success became public, the world would be irrevocably divided.

ashes of the chosen

Ashes of the Chosen In a world where hope is a liability and power is a curse, what does it mean to be chosen? The year is 6189. Earth is no longer a home—it’s a wasteland turned power farm, drained to fuel the luxurious lives of humans who escaped into space. The elite call themselves visionaries. Those left behind call them Outsiders. To unlock limitless energy, the Intergalactic Ascension Council initiates Project Fractal—a mission to send human minds into the mysterious 4th Dimension, where thought shapes reality. But only the rarest children can survive the journey. Those children are bred in secrecy, tortured in orphanages, and selected through blood. Solin was never supposed to be the chosen one. He kept his power hidden. He wanted to survive—not ascend. But when his orphanage is massacred for failing to produce a candidate, Solin unleashes a power that manipulates time itself. Captured and declared the perfect Fractal subject, he is forced into a mission he never chose… while haunted by the loss of the one person who believed in him. Elari, the girl who taught him to hope, is gone. Or so he thinks. What Solin doesn’t know is that in the shadows of a ruined Earth, another survivor watches—Kael, once forgotten, now reborn with a vow: “If I cannot be hope… I will become the illusion of it As reality fractures, fates collide, and the boundary between man and machine crumbles, Solin must decide: Will he bend time to escape the system—or become the weapon that shatters it?
