The Workd After The Fall

In a world brimming with life and progress, yet shrouded in mystery and hidden truths, continents intertwine, kingdoms clash, and the Nine Ancient Sects wage an unending struggle. Amidst this turmoil lies the outskirts of Athenos, a city known as the ‘City of Happiness,’ where people from all over the world gather—seeking prosperity… or fleeing from their pasts. But beneath its radiant glow, darkness and oppression creep in, suffocating the souls longing for freedom. A young boy stood still, gazing at the horizon with eyes burdened by sorrow, before whispering: "I want to leave this world..." Beside him, a man of imposing presence turned to him, his voice calm yet piercing: "And why is that?" The boy hesitated for a moment before letting out a bitter laugh, averting his gaze. "Can't you see? Do I look like someone who belongs in this world? Do I seem like someone who wants to live?" The old man smirked—not out of pity, but something else… something the boy couldn’t quite grasp. Then, in a tone filled with certainty, he said: "Don’t say something so dull… Instead, come with me. I’ll show you what this world truly is." The boy eyed him warily, hesitating for a moment before asking: "Who are you?" The old man turned slightly, as if the answer held little importance, then replied with a teasing tone: "Me? Just an old man… My name is Rikudo, but they call me the Ruler of Paths." He paused, then looked back at the boy, his eyes gleaming with intrigue. "And what is your name, boy?" The boy clenched his fist as if confronting himself for the first time, before answering in a quiet yet profound voice: "My name… is Ashura." The old man raised an eyebrow, as if he had just heard something interesting. The boy then spoke again, this time with unwavering resolve: "Ashura Tekah." --- This version maintains the depth, emotion, and impact of the original Arabic text while ensuring it feels natural and immersive in English.

In a post-apocalyptic world, you'll find four main types of people. Those who fight with all their might "the hunters." The ones who leech and exploit others "the pests." The predators, who see everyone as prey. And lastly, we have "the survivors," the resilient ones who never give up. Everyone often fits into one category, but it's hard to determine which one Maya falls into. She's not exactly a fighter, considering leaving her room was a chore even before the apocalypse. A predator? No way—she's always been a pushover. You might think she's a survivor, but that's laughable. She'd rather die from starvation than resort to scavenging. So, how should we categorize her? leeche? Nope. Perhaps a new category is needed: "The Lost"—those struggling to find their place in a shattered world."

She was always alone and gloomy, and the only thing that followed her were bad rumors. That day, Anna Maria was in a bad mood and wanted to eat alone.

Anna Maria blinked, scrubbing her eyes and readjusting her glasses to make sure of what she had seen, but the occupant had left before she could tell who it was. She searched for a week and finally found her—Gabrielle Nandia. She grasped the palm of the startled girl with a bewitching smile. "Gabrielle, will you please be my muse?"

In Terra's enchanting and mysterious world, Alpha has never experienced the simple joys that many take for granted - happiness, companionship, freedom, or love. Instead, his existence has been marred by regret, confinement, and struggle. After unwillingly confronting a nearly omnipotent entity against his will, as well as being treated as a mere plaything, he is unexpectedly granted an opportunity to escape the grim fate that awaited him at the end of his first life. However, this new lease on life comes with a price: Alpha must embark on a journey to an unknown era in the distant past, a time when some of the mightiest mortals and beings roamed the planet. His mission? To gather the strongest mortals in a vain attempt to challenge the Demon King Lucifero, who is in his infancy stages of power.

With fate dictating his path, Alpha must navigate a game far beyond his understanding, slowly unraveling its intricacies as he explores the unknown world. With nothing holding him back, Alpha will struggle to discover the essence of humanity while preparing for a three-sided conflict older than the gods themselves that threatens to alter the fabric of existence itself.
