Hela Endgame

In a city where shadows hold more power than light, Detective Marcus Trent is drawn into a web of deceit, manipulation, and a chilling game that threatens to unravel everything he knows. When he receives an anonymous message promising disaster, Marcus finds himself chasing a series of cryptic clues that lead him to a mysterious figure known only as The Shadow—a mastermind pulling the strings from behind the scenes. The clues are sinister: coordinates, encrypted messages, and cryptic warnings, all leading Marcus to a chilling truth—someone is always one step ahead. As the puzzle pieces fall into place, Marcus discovers that the game is more than just about tracking a criminal. It’s a countdown to a terrifying revelation—the endgame has already begun. As the stakes rise and more lives are threatened, Marcus is forced to confront his own demons and question the trust he places in his colleagues. With no allies, no clear path forward, and the shadow of the mastermind looming closer, Marcus must navigate a treacherous maze of false identities, hidden motives, and twisted alliances. The question is no longer just who is behind the chaos, but how far will they go before Marcus becomes the next pawn in a game where no one wins?

Ash Burn was just an ordinary gamer—an orphan scraping by in the real world, until he accomplished the impossible: beating the hardest VR game ever created, Apocalypse Online. But instead of the promised riches, he’s thrown into another world—one eerily familiar. It doesn’t take long for Ash to realize where he is in the chaotic, doomed universe of Heaven’s Favorite: Wrath of Gods, a novel he once read. Worse, he’s not the protagonist, nor a supporting character. He’s just an extra. Armed with fragmented knowledge of the future, a fierce determination to survive, and the secrets of the Runes—mysterious Power coveted by gods and demons alike—Ash must outmaneuver a reckless hero, power-hungry angels, and an inevitable war that threatens to annihilate everything. But as he treads the fine line between altering fate and unleashing chaos, Ash realizes something chilling: the endgame may not be as simple as he thought. In a world where survival hinges on power and cunning, can an ordinary extra change the fate of an entire world, or will he become another casualty of destiny? Was he really an Extra?

Thirty Years East, Thirty Years West. Don’t you bully the young and poor! Split open the sky! Go against Heaven! Sick and tired of that kind of cultivation quote and troupe? The never-ending long grind that seemed to have one world after another once you supposedly reached the false apexes? Well, it’s time to broaden your horizons! You shall now be blessed with the perspective of someone who’s at the top of the top: Ye Ming. Someone who had foolishly decided to experience mortal life before realizing how crap it was. It was time to return to his real life. “I wasn’t born with a diamond spoon, but born with the endgame life.” Ye Ming laughed sinisterly. He was the sole Young Master of a family who dominated everything already. Trash cultivation? Trash spiritual roots? Trash background? Sorry, but that ain’t Ye Ming! However, he does have one great and relatable trait: procrastination.

"Only in the chaos of war, would we thrive in bodies of steel..." In a future where humanity traded flesh for silicon salvation, the POLARIS archive was meant to be eternity—a digital Eden where war-torn souls fused into a timeless collective consciousness. But eternity, it turns out, has a glitch. By 135 ACE, whispers ripple through the void: entire sectors of POLARIS are going dark. Energy reserves bleed dry. Data streams fracture into echoes of their former selves. The survivors—now more code than human—splinter into warring factions, scavenging the corpse of the physical world through hulking VANGUARDs, ancient machines that once terraformed dead worlds. In this decaying paradox of unity and chaos, survival belongs to those who manipulate the shadows… Kagiro thrives in those shadows. A broker of secrets and stolen energy, he trades in the desperation of others, weaving alliances with mercenary AIs and data-pirates. His endgame? To claw his way to the heart of POLARIS, where the last flicker of power lies hidden. But ambition blinds him to the cyan-haired specter on his trail—a girl forged from the archive’s collapse, armed with a vendetta no algorithm can predict. She knows what broke POLARIS. She knows what Kagiro wants. And she’ll burn every sector to ash to bury the truth. =========================================== Cover Artist Credit: KU P.S: This is my first story so please be patient.

Apocalypse, Survival, Crafting, Superpowers Ethan Cross never expected to wake up in the middle of the apocalypse—let alone with a power straight out of a video game. Stranded in a ruined Nevada city overrun by undead and monstrous mutants, he quickly discovers his unique ability: Duplication. Any non-living object he touches can be copied, but with a catch—the duplicates degrade over time unless reinforced. Armed with this power and his Dimensional Storage, Ethan begins his fight for survival, crafting weapons, fortifying shelter, and outsmarting both the undead and desperate survivors. But he’s not alone. His first and only companion is Ash, a small, sentient tree with the ability to detect danger, purify the air, and grow stronger by consuming organic matter. As Ethan scavenges, fights, and builds, Ash evolves, proving to be more than just a plant—it’s a powerful force against the horrors of the apocalypse. From escaping a high-rise deathtrap to constructing a fortified haven, Ethan faces relentless threats: undead swarms, ruthless human factions, and grotesque mutated beasts. But the deeper he digs, the clearer the truth becomes—this plague wasn’t an accident. And the key to ending it lies within a hidden research facility, now a nest for nightmares. With the world collapsing and an even greater force stirring in the shadows, Ethan must make a choice: continue as a lone wolf or forge a new civilization from the ruins. But survival isn’t just about weapons and walls—it’s about trust. And in a world where everything rots, even alliances can decay. As the apocalypse enters its next stage, one thing is certain—Ethan will not be a pawn in someone else’s endgame.

This may sound biased, but... What's the most essential thing for being a writer? Idea? Or Imagination? It's lucid! The answer to it is imagination. While ideas can come and go, however, long-term success in writing comes from the depth and wildness of one’s imagination led by perfect implementation of it, known as writing. Through imagination, one can experience infinite lives, outcomes, victories, and defeats—all intertwined in stories that go beyond mere ideas. In that case, what would an author do if one has the lesser side in terms of imagination, unlike one's renowned writer relative? Read on to discover the winner in the endgame of Memoir! Check it out :-) Nope, I'm serious! #Vote it with power stones or else I'll steal your plushie.

In the year 2024, the Pandora Institution reigns as a symbol of mankind's cruelty, where superhumans are created, trained, and forced to battle to the death for the amusement of the world's elite. These engineered beings, designed to possess extraordinary abilities, are nothing more than tools in a deadly sport—expendable entertainment in a dystopian future. Marcus, a brilliant scientist, once played a key role in Pandora's experiments, helping to unlock the potential of these superhumans. But when he meets John, a young boy with immense powers marked for slaughter in the brutal games, Marcus's conscience can no longer bear the weight of his involvement.

As they flee, the full force of Pandora’s hunters is unleashed, and Marcus must use his scientific knowledge and John's developing powers to stay one step ahead of their relentless pursuers. Along the way, Marcus uncovers shocking truths about Pandora’s true purpose, discovering that the institution’s endgame is even darker than he imagined. With time running out and their enemies closing in, Marcus and John forge an unbreakable bond as father and son. They must outwit Pandora’s powerful enforcers and expose the horrors of the institution to the world, all while learning to harness John’s abilities to fight back. In a final, high-stakes confrontation, Marcus and John stand together to dismantle the institution that enslaved them and countless others, fighting not only for their survival but for the freedom of all superhumans held captive by Pandora. Their story is one of rebellion, hope, and a battle for justice in a world that has forgotten what it means to be human.

Ina, the holder of the secret of eternal life and the key to paradise, was punished by all the gods after they felt disrespected in the face of the possibility of the finitude of their own powers. The two accepted their intertwined fates and lived together for a thousand years until they realized that they had ambitions to live together for all eternity. When the thousand years finally ended, one of them would be able to return to her life in the Kingdom of the Dead, while the other would remain imprisoned in the realm of darkness as a mere mortal ready to die at any moment. A countdown began with Hela desperately looking for a way to make Ina immortal once more, without any concern if she would be forced to fight or kill whether they were men or gods, no one would disturb her again. Only one thing was certain: Hela would not fail a second time. __________________ Support me and give me a gift! https://throne.com/moonssiide __________________ I don't own the rights to the cover image, it's an image taken from the internet and I couldn't find the author to offer the due credits.

° ° ° Kau bukan sinar mentari di pagi hari yang sejuk dan menenangkan. Bukan pula sinar rembulan yang menemani kelamnya malam sunyi. Disebuah jendela besar dengan minimnya penerangan. Terpantul sebagian wajah seorang gadis, yang terkena cahaya bulan. Menutupi beberapa helai rambutnya, yang tertiup angin malam. Gadis itu memilih duduk menyandar, merenungi perjalanan kenyataan yang membuatnya ingin menghentikan waktu ini sekarang juga. Gadis cantik penuh pesona dengan senyuman manis yang jika diperlihatkan sangat menawan. Mampu membungkam siapa pun yang melihat.

Akankah kehidupannya membaik setelah semua yang diterimanya? mampukah Ia melewati semua keadaan yang menimpa dengan ketulusan hatinya?

The world was not a peaceful place when the system fell upon it, but there was a peace in the silence brought about in its wake. Anthony Franklin was a business major at the time of Earth's induction. At first confused by the changes his environment had undergone, of the rules and formulas the system operated by, and of the patrons who seemingly gambled on the lives and stakes of his new world, Anthony struggled through to the end. Upon reaching the halls of Esaraphelscion, the Angel of the End, he discovered the grand prize of his victory over the system, and rejected it. What he wanted was something that he could not obtain. At least, not yet. Purchasing the Ouroboros Tattoo from the Endgame Shop, Anthony went back to the beginning when the system first bared its fangs at the world. He did so again, and again, and again despite the risks constant regression does to his mental state. Now, Anthony has all the knowledge he needs to clear the obstacles in his path and save as many people as he possibly can. While his intentions are noble, the same could not be said of his methods, and now he has to cope with the knowledge that nothing he does is reversible any longer. This is the story of his last run. The story of his 100th Run.

Peace in the Sultanate of Danaw was almost impossible to achieve until the Datu of Banga, Datu Da'ud, came and fought amongst the other powerful clans. He brought along with him the knights who carried the blessings of Arimaonga. Arimaonga, a lion-like beast living in the skies, had fallen in love with the light of the moon. He then tried to chase Hela, the goddess of the moon, in hopes of marrying her. However, she refused him each time until he got angry and tried to swallow the moon. The war between Hela and Arimaonga has begun since then. For Agods who are graced by Hela, serving Sultan Da'ud and his people would have not become a dilemma if only they were not blessed by Arimaonga. Because of the ongoing war between the goddess and the beast, Sultan Da'ud has ordered the persecution of the Agods with the excuse that they are white witches and could maneuver magic against humanity. The Agods were forced to leave. They fled to a desolate island and have never engaged themselves with Sultan Da'ud and his people since. A few years later, unbeknownst to the Agods and the people of Danaw, a child was given birth by an Agod. And the father was no other than Sultan Da'ud.

Hal itu membuat si gadis berponi merasa jengah dan kesal, rasanya ia ingin pergi yang jauh ke tempat di mana tidak ada seorang Andra. Padahal gadis itu terus menolak, tapi anak laki-laki berkulit putih itu terus saja mengejarnya. "Andra, aku kan udah bilang kalau kamu jangan gini terus," ucap Laras lirih nan hati-hati. "Gini gimana?" Andra tampak tak mengerti. Laras menghela napas panjang dan memejamkan mata sesaat. "Kita itu nggak seumur, Ndra. Harusnya kamu juga tau." "Tapi aku mau seumur hidup sama Kak Laras," sahut Andra dengan cepat. Bagaimana tanggapan Laras tentang hal tersebut? Langsung saja ikuti kisahnya di "I Love You, Kak Laras!" karya Author Ampas.
