The sun is dying, and so is humanity. Decades after the Cataclysm, the remnants of civilization struggle to survive in a radiation-scarred world. Among them are the Awakened, individuals born with extraordinary abilities, hunted by the powerful and secretive Syndicate. Lena, a scientist haunted by her past, and her fourteen-year-old son, Leo, are on the run. They possess the last vial of the Aurora Serum – a formula that could unlock the same powers as the Awakened, but in ordinary humans. Their only hope lies in a mysterious stranger – Aron, an Awakened traveler with a hidden agenda. He intervenes, saving them from the Syndicate’s clutches, but his motives remain unclear. Is he a friend or foe? Under a dying sun, Lena, Leo, and Aron must navigate a treacherous landscape of ruined cities, mutated creatures, and desperate survivors. (I'm just experimenting. Nothing serious)

Raika used to be a Cultivator. She lived in a sect, fought in tournaments, and cultivated to spite the heavens, as a cultivator should. While she was never the strongest, fastest or wisest, she held it in her heart to never, ever give up, and to stand for her ideals. And then an Imperial Cultivator destroyed her soul organs and left her crippled. In a world with a sun made of flaming serpents, reality-defying entities running amok, and a timeless, all-knowing Emperor ruling all through the power of his Blades and the constant advances and experiments of his Divisions, Raika is less than worthless, unable to see and feel the blood of reality- but when it's surrender or madness, she chooses madness. Embarking on a new path, Raika will find strange secrets, hidden paths to transformation, and abandon humanity, sanity, and the rule of the Empire to become something far stranger and far more powerful than she ever thought possible. In a world replete with enslaved Daemons used as WMDs, reality-bending powers, eldritch-punk technology, and strange pathways of cultivation and magic, she'll have to find allies, confront gods and monster, and defy the Heavens, her own body, and common sense to find a way to become something new. Facing a millenia-old Empire rife with corruption and unknown plans, impossible horrors from the edges of the world, Daemons, Witches, and her own broken soul, she won't stop until she's become truly free- but what will it cost, and can her insanity match the madness of the reality itself?

After the crimson meteor streaked across the sky, human civilization plunged into stagnation. From that day onward, people could no longer manufacture rockets, nuclear bombs, airplanes, or cars… The towering pyramid of modern science and civilization crumbled, but the disaster was far from over. The world turned gray as the red meteor descended, like a spectral reflection in a mirror, slowly dragging the civilized world into an abyss of chaos. In this age, human life is as insignificant as dust; In this age, humanity shines like the stars. As the great structure collapsed, some saw a pair of twins standing atop the ruins of civilization, their blood-red eyes shifting between laughter and tears. The curtain of the era slowly rises behind them, and with arms wide open, they whisper softly to the suffering masses— “The show… begins.”

[Warning: This book can get brutal, but don't expect action on every page. I place quite an emphasis on character design and development.] ......... You've read Apocalypse stories thousands of times, with courageous, cautious and even altruistic leads. Western, Eastern.. how about an African lead whose ability can actually get him killed?? Bernard once gambled on a chance to make his life better. To do what he actually wanted with his life despite what others wanted him to do. Though it's probably not the gamble you're thinking about... He succeeded. He got to live the life of his dreams, gave his family the support they needed and saw them thrive. That one moment gave him everything he dreamed of.. That was until the apocalypse came.... The planet quaked, the ozone was destroyed, harsh light eviscerated life on the planet.. Gravity was distorted and mutations occurred on some organic lives on the entire planet.. An enemy of unimaginable proportions descended on Earth, but the mystery behind him is one you probably haven't heard of many times... Bernard’s hard work was destroyed. So was his family that he had finally made proud, as a brother and as a son. At the brink of death, a light shone amidst the chaos. A light that clung to many humans who were still alive... A light that gave them a fighting chance against their enemy... The humans awakened to abilities tied to their happiest memories. Abilities of different kinds with vast applications and some.... awkward connotations.. Bernard awakened a gift to fight through the terror and creatures that awaited. He awakened the Innate Ability: Gamble... ......... Vital Information for Readers: I'm sure most of you won't like the main character in the beginning. But I must stress that he will develop and experience a major development in an important arc that's not too far ahead. He won't always be on the pages for the first section of the story, but he will still have a prominent role. Other characters in this world are given a fair share of time to express themselves and develop too. A lot. The first 10 chapters set up the BASIC story, but they are NOT exposition. The story will be moving...quite fast, so be prepared for less action in that time period. ....... Check out my other book 'Bro! I'm not an Undead' Cover picture is mine... only the dice are from the net and edited on PS.. credit to the...owner...

In the secluded cottage of the dragon tamer Selwyn, an unexpected guest quite literally dropped in from the sky. The visitor, covered in wounds and clearly exhausted, had not a single truthful word to say. He claimed to be the divine heir to the throne and insisted that with just a little help, he could return to the divine realm to reclaim his rightful place. Loki: "I, the heir to Asgard, swear to make you a high-ranking official if you help me reclaim my throne—" Selwyn: "Hold on a second. These kinds of scam texts aren't popular anymore." —— The God of Mischief opened his eyes, only to find himself lying in a bubbling cauldron. His first thought? He was about to be cooked and eaten by some uncivilized savage. But after a moment of silence, the other person calmly explained: "This is a cauldron filled with dragon blood that can heal wounds." Loki: "…" On closer inspection, this person had rare spell-casting materials scattered all over the place! It was time to regroup and make his triumphant return to Asgard!
