Hollow Earth Swords

Being an alien field researcher stranded on Earth really made survival quite difficult. "Me, an alien, give me money!"

Several decades since the last Human War, and the World is almost back at its former glory. The scars of the last War can now only be found in the history books. After two millennia of self destruction, humanity finally managed to unify as a group under the rule of the Six Council. Under its regime, the remaining 156 countries around the world swore an oath to work toward peace and harmony. War becomes a taboo, and any country who breaks this rule will be punished severely. Technology progresses relatively fast in this so-called Utopia. Full dive technology that allows the user to experience a dream like reality known as VR (Virtual Reality) became really popular especially to the gaming industry. A world to escape humanity’s Utopia. Unlike reality who is heavily regulated by the rules and regulations of the Six Council. Virtual Reality becomes a symbol of freedom, far from the shackles that binds the current society. 2064 Human Era, a VRMMO (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online) game, was launched on its Closed BETA test, Hollow Earth Online. With the game under the most popular genres: Action, Fantasy, RPG (Role Playing Game), many people were keen to try and play the game. After all, HEO's predecessor Arcadia Online, a game released by Atlas Inc. several years ago that garnered a few million players around the globe. Unlike Arcadia, HEO’s world is scaled like the world, a virtual reality under a single instance. Just like a typical fantasy rpg, HEO has one thing that reality lacks, “Magic” a phenomena that can’t be explained nor recreated by science. A world where magic exists and you can be whatever you want, or so everyone thought. Several thousand players worldwide received invitations to participate in the three-day Closed Beta Test event. Asriel, a college student, was among those who received an invitation email from Atlas Inc. to partake in the event as a Beta Tester. HEO seemed like just another fantasy VRMMO from a well-known developer, living up to everyone's expectations. However, little did they know, it was actually the prelude to an apocalypse unlike anything humanity had faced in the last two millennia.

In the year 3450, Earth is a graveyard of its former glory. A devastating virus unleashed horrors that reshaped the planet, wiping out most of humanity and twisting life into grotesque abominations. Amid the ruins, a man walks unscathed—Keir, a survivor cursed with a mutation that grants him eternal youth and regeneration. Immune to time and death, he has watched centuries pass in a world overrun by monsters, with no hope of salvation. But Keir doesn’t seek salvation. He seeks freedom. Haunted by solitude and driven by an unrelenting hunger to escape the planet, Keir will stop at nothing to break free. His pursuit of ancient technology, the remnants of humanity’s golden age takes him into the depths of forgotten ruins and the heart of mutated wastelands.

As decades stretch into centuries, Keir grows colder and more ruthless, his obsession consuming him. But the cost of freedom is steep, and Earth is not so easily escaped. In a world where life has mutated beyond recognition, Keir must confront not only the horrors that hunt him but the horrors within himself. For what is freedom worth when it’s bought with blood, and who is Keir if he abandons the last vestiges of his humanity? In a story of darkness, ambition, and the price of survival, Keir will learn that the greatest prison may not be Earth—but the monster he has become.

Do you believe in magic? The answer of most will be no. But what if magic DID exsist? To some, it might just be your typical average story. But this has an element of unpredictability mixed in between. Diane Lewis was a normal teenage girl from an aristocratic family. But since she met HIM, her view of the world turned upside down.

She said, with a smile. "You have no right to be here. We cut ties remember?" He said, glaring at her fiercely. "I am not here for you. I am here for the family. I still have people I treasure here. So let me through or else..." She completed her statement by majestically drawing out her sword. So many secrets lay hidden. Injustice in the form of justice. Lies, fabricated to become truth.

In the year 1018 of the Heavenly Golden Dragon Calendar, the Riverscale Academy hums with life, where young aspirants of the Riverscale Clan seek to master the ancient art of Vein-Weaving—a spiritual connection between the physical body and the life-force known as World Qi. Among these individuals stands Xianlu Koichi, a prodigy with a lineage clouded by hardship and limitations, but fueled by an unyielding resolve to rewrite his destiny. Xianlu’s journey begins within the hallowed halls of Riverscale Academy, where his uncle Yuhen Koichi, a scholar of immense wisdom despite his frail body, imparts ancient tales of the Tea Koi—magical koi infused with the essence of different teas, revered for their power to protect harmony. These stories, filled with battles against the malevolent beasts, inspire Xianlu not just to study, but to transcend his own limitations. For while his veins may falter in conventional cultivation, his mind and understanding of Vein-Weaving offer him a unique path forward—a way to forge a legacy that resonates with the spirit of the legendary Tea Dragons. Through trial and sacrifice, Xianlu discovers his place among the students of Riverscale, earning respect through his keen intellect and compassion. Unlike others born with noble bloodlines, Xianlu relies on the purity of his heart and the unbreakable connection to World Qi. His vision goes beyond power—he seeks to help others who have been told they are unworthy, to carve a space for those deemed ‘less than’ in a society obsessed with lineage and strength. Yet, as Xianlu continues to grow, a deeper destiny stirs within him. It is in the crucible of hardship and failure that he awakens as something more—a master puppeteer of fate itself. Through the mastery of Virtue as his weapon, Xianlu perfects the Riverscale Clan according to his will, reshaping its future with wisdom and compassion. His threads of destiny are not bound by strength alone, but by the subtle manipulation of balance, weaving a new era where the marginalized rise, and harmony is restored through unity.

No one ever thought that the population of people known as "ESPER" could increase. Unfortunately, some metaphysical activities resulting from a work accident have also become a global problem. For years, the United Nations had to lie to the world that the current conditions were fine. Those who were invisible moved in tandem with the development of human technology. Living a normal life is indeed a demand, no matter if someone is an esper. But is it possible? Especially this story begins with an individualistic guy. A regular student who is just an ordinary youth. What is love? What is the past? How do we live? Why are we afraid of death? Where is our position in this wheel of life? How worthy are we to be called...human? "The Endless Hollow"

Artie had lived her whole life feeling like a joke. Whether it came to her full name, her parents ‘abandoning’ her and her next door neighbours taking her in, or finding out that her lover was part of a cult and was cheating on her. Said lover then stabbed her. It felt like she just couldn’t catch a break. So when she found herself in a puddle of her own blood, staring up at a fake painted sky, she could only find humour in the situation, and prayed that the next life was kinder. Only she woke up. In the same body, with the same stab wound, only in a world full of magic, swords, and a dead King Arthur? Yup. The round table existed, the knights existed, and so did everyone of legend that she’d heard about as a child. Only it was the beginning of their tales. Nothing had happened yet, except the formation of Camelot, the crowning of the King, and then the sudden death of the King of Legend, King Arthur Pendragon. She would have thought this was another cruel joke if everyone wasn’t wandering around in mourning clothes. If this was a practical joke, it wasn’t a very funny one. Artie was tired. She’d already spent almost a decade working as a police officer, and then a detective, so she felt like she had earned her peace. Especially after all the shit she’d been put through, but someone had different plans. And Artie’s life wasn’t quite done yet. In fact, it seemed like in the eyes of the creatures of this world, this was where she was always meant to be. The time she spent getting her ass handed to her in the other dimension? Just a warm up. And now she was expected to just…go along with what everyone else wanted her to do? Including magical beings who were responsible for taking her from one dimension to another. Artie felt like she was in over her head, even if there were several concerned, attractive knights around her. She wasn’t sure if she was going to run away from all the new responsibilities, or embrace them. She wasn’t a rule breaker by nature, but maybe now was the time to change?

"Jerome! I'm a big fan can you please sign my poster?" A girl squealed as she opened the poster of him. He smiled then signed the poster before the girl whispered something in his ear. She looked into him her eyes burning with desire before leaving. He could only sigh as he continued the fan event, After two hours he whispered to his manager, "I'm going to rest in the van." His manager agreed to let him rest and informed his fans that the event will resume in an hour He went off to the Van before hearing a familiar voice speak behind him. "I'm your biggest fan yet you disregard me just like that. How dare you?." Before he could turn around he could feel something cold push into his side making him scream loudly. Other people noticed too late, when they pried the crazed woman off of him, his body was cold and lifeless.

In a world ravaged by endless wars and conflict, there emerges a legendary hero, Aeris, known as the God of Sword, feared and revered for his unmatched swordsmanship. With his colossal sword, capable of shattering entire mountains with a single strike, Aeris becomes a living legend in the eyes of both allies and enemies alike. For years, he fights on the battlefield to bring peace to the war-torn lands. Finally, after a long and bloody conflict, Aeris faces the Dark King in a final battle, where with a mighty blow, he brings an end to the war and the chaos that once consumed the world. Yet, the victory leaves him hollow inside. Though celebrated by the people, Aeris does not crave praise or glory. The peace he brought comes with the heavy burden of leadership, and the heroic feats that made him a savior of nations leave him burdened with the responsibility of ensuring the future. As a reward for his sacrifices, King Leonte grants Aeris a vast, prosperous land and the noble title of Duke, an honor befitting a hero of his stature. But Aeris finds no joy in this title. As the king grows old, the task of choosing the next ruler of the kingdom falls upon him, as King Leonte's seven sons each vie for the throne. Each prince has his own strengths, but also fatal flaws. The dilemma now lies with Aeris, who is tasked with determining which of these princes is worthy of ruling and ensuring the future of the kingdom, a kingdom which, ironically, Aeris wishes to leave behind.

Year, 2025. The surface of the world seems ordinary but holds chaos below its serene disguise. Serial killers, demons, and supernatural beings stalk their victims into a dark end, their crime hidden by governments. A hidden organization called The Vanguard protects humankind. Its members, working in the dark, have skills, ancient relics, and highly advanced technology. They hunt and bring out to the open these dark creatures. When a series of brutal murders points to an ancient demon cult, an elite team of operatives is dispatched to investigate. Each member of the team brings with them a unique ability and a haunted past: Nicolai, the soldier turned tracker; Dana, the mathematician who bends probabilities; Nikkie, the mimic with a knack for deception; Elie, the physicist wielding the power of decay; AJ, the tech genius crafting devices to trap the unthinkable; Jan, the shadow manipulator with a price to pay; Krist, the body-bending brawler; and Lykan, the seer burdened by glimpses of a fractured future. They would unravel all the secrets behind the cult until they found the real conspiracy behind their threats towards a fragile equilibrium of humanity with the supernatural world. In such a world, where lines of predator and prey blurred into each other, the Vanguard needed to conquer the fears both against the monster and with one another.

Following Garran's journey who is a vanguard, he is tasked by the Order to exterminate demons infested in certain area. Throughout his adventure, he shall face a lot of obstacles. Unbeknownst to him, his mission would be a turning point of his life — forever changes his future into the most hated man, forced to wear an unwanted title made of misunderstanding. He shall be exiled and start over a new life in the new soil. Will he regain his honor back?
