The Apocalypse Path of Rebirth

Maya prophesied that December 21, 2012 would be the end of the world. On this day, some people were anxious and afraid of not seeing the sun the next day. More people held a playful attitude and celebrated with their loved ones in the early morning night, waiting for dawn to celebrate their safe passage through the end. The next day, the sun rose as usual, and people only thought that God was joking with everyone, working and living as usual. But they were too happy too early. The end has already quietly arrived, but they have been adapted to the harsh environment, unable to see the green mountains turn into yellow soil, and flowers and birds disappear; Unable to see the clear river turning into a foul smelling canal, fish and shrimp are dying; Unable to see grassland turning into desert, land howling According to the Observatory, there was a once-in-a-millennium meteor shower in the early morning of December 21, 2020.

Future World

At the dawn of the New Era Calendar, humanity broke free from the confines of Earth and established a new order beyond the Milky Way. In this vast expanse of the stars, filled with both the unknown and hope, humanity witnessed rapid technological advancements and unprecedented expansion of its civilization. The annihilation of the insectoid race was celebrated as a historic victory, with the Earth Celestial Force securing its dominance. Meanwhile, corporate giants seized the opportunity to stretch their influence to far-off galaxies, exploiting resources and colonizing new worlds, propelling humanity into an era of unparalleled interstellar prosperity. Yet, beneath the veneer of progress lay hidden perils. Driven by greed and ambition, humanity neglected to respect the unknown. An exploratory fleet, jointly deployed by the Earth Celestial Force and corporate alliances, inadvertently ventured into a mysterious, energy-laden star system. There, they uncovered an ancient ruin, seemingly belonging to a species far older and more powerful than the insectoid race. However, the activation of this relic awakened a dormant threat buried deep in the cosmic void. The remnants of the insectoid race began to resurface, having evolved far beyond any prior records. Worse still, a new horror emerged—massive creatures known as Star Beasts. Star Beasts, colossal entities comparable in size to small planets, possess the power to obliterate fleets and consume worlds. Their behavior defies all known patterns, yet it seems to be driven by a purpose that transcends biological instinct. Their arrival disrupted the fragile balance of the universe and fractured the tenuous alliances within human civilization. Under the pressure of dwindling resources and escalating conflict, corporate factions began pursuing their own interests, while the Earth Celestial Force struggled to rally the scattered powers of humanity to resist the twin threats of the insectoids and the Star Beasts. As the war escalated, more secrets about the Star Beasts came to light. These creatures were likely not products of natural evolution but creations of an intelligence beyond human comprehension. Additionally, the resurgence of the insectoids revealed a shocking truth: they were never humanity’s ultimate enemy but merely pawns in a far greater cosmic game. Faced with the dual crises of internal division and external invasion, humanity must find a way to strike a balance. Will they persist in their path of expansion and conquest, or will they choose to coexist with the unknown? The answer lies in a final, decisive battle that will determine the survival of their civilization.

Deadlock : ZERO

In the year 0146, a century after the cataclysmic event known as The END Apocalypse, humanity has rebuilt a world more advanced than ever before and resets their calendar. Once torn apart by a war between mythical beasts—the mighty dragons and leviathans—the Earth’s landscape has been forever reshaped, and monsters born from the rage and negativity of that war continue to haunt civilization. Peace was briefly restored by a group of elite warriors known as the Pacifiers, who harnessed a new and mysterious form of battle arts beyond human imagination. Their efforts quelled the mythical creatures, but now they face a new, darker challenge: the monstrous creatures that emerged from the apocalypse’s aftermath. To protect humanity, the Pacifiers formed global associations, fighting relentlessly to keep these malevolent forces at bay. Despite advanced technology and progress, the human world is still plagued by the ancient problems of inequality, poverty, and social unrest. Amid this fractured world is Ken, an orphan whose harsh upbringing has left him with little hope for the future. That is, until he encounters Beni, one of the strongest Pacifiers of the current era, and Ken's master. With his guidance, Ken’s life takes an unexpected turn as he is thrust into a world of battle, monsters, and political intrigue, where he must discover his own strength and purpose. The balance between peace and destruction hangs by a thread, and the true nature of the monsters may hold the key to humanity’s future. In a world caught in a deadlock between hope and despair, Ken must rise above his past and find his way to his unknown future.

Vanguard.Frame

Year 2102 of the Old Earth Calendar. Humanity left their home planet, earth, to traverse the stars once the space ship technology evolved to a sufficient extent. The era know as the Era of the space travel was born with the conquest of the solar system.Many years passed after the beginning of said era, and all of humanity, which had unified into a single banner, conquered a myriad of star systems and became a massive power that fiercely defied the many dangers of space, an hegemonic power which no other race, either primitive of technologically advance, could defend against. This remained like this for hundreds of years, until president Alberich rose to power in the year 2504. Alberich Geisburg, elected president of the Unified Humanity, was not satisfied with his position. He found the chains of the democratic system irritating, so he seized all the power for himself through violence, which led to the division of humanity into multiple nations. From this conflict three powers were initially created. The Geisburg Empire, with the self proclaimed Emperor Alberich Von Geisburg and his dynasty leading it. The new Republic of Humanity, which followed the democratic system used by the now destroyed Unified Humanity. And the Commerce Territory of Shenbaun, born from the alliance between large corporations and named after their primary star system. This initiated the Era of galactic conflict, which lasted 400 years. The war between these three nations led to the creation of Frame Constructs, simply called Frames by most. Infantry and common armored vehicles were not sufficient, so humanoid weapons were the next step, and this technology revolutionized war and daily life. Frames became an irreplaceable piece of equipment for all three nations. From Worker Frames, which were used for agriculture, mining and construction, to Infantry Frames which waged war in small numbers and destroyed enemy fleets and defenses with ease. The incorporation of Frames increased the war efforts, and also its brutality. After this, many changes occurred. The Frame technology development race between corporations generated internal conflict between the corporations that formed the Commerce Territory of Shenbaun, which eventually caused the dissolution of said faction, giving birth to hundreds of corporate star systems that control a vast amount of stars, constantly in conflict with each other. The brutal and authoritarian nature of the Geisburg Empire caused multiple revolutions within the border systems, which eventually became kingdoms of their own. Among these kingdoms the most prominent, which remain until today, are the Hiers, Padparadscha and Luminose Kingdoms, along many minor kingdoms. The empire lost a lot of its territory because of the revolutions, which at the time, caused everyone to believe that the New Republic of Humanity would win the war against them, but a sudden event prevented this. About a third of the Republic territory was lost when multiple star systems declared independence, the Republic, which knew they couldn't afford to fight at two fronts of war at the same time, had no option but to recognize their independence. These now independent star systems joined and became the Holy Adamant Dukedom, a wholly religious nation that followed the principles of their newborn religion. The dissolution of one of the three major powers, and the loss of territory and power of the remaining two caused the war to come to a halt, and it was in this period that the new generation of Frames was born. The Vanguard Frames, also known as the gods of war.Giant machines with the power to annihilate standard fleets and battalions of Infantry Frames, upon the creation of Vanguard Frames all the nations poured their efforts into the development of this technology, preparing themselves for the inevitable war that was sure to come. Currently is the year 3072, and were now in the middle of the Era of Gods, named after the Vanguard Frames.

The Legend of Shadow Knight

Hello my dear Earthlings, It is official now. From December 16, 2023, the Gregorian calendar I am an earthling too. It is not because I was born on that day. Rather, because I was reborn that day. I am what you call a transmigrator. I am now occupying the body of the earthling named Tej. He was struggling as a writer while stewing in a full-time day job that he hated. Yes, you read it right. I am a transmigrator. Very much like the ones you have read about in other novels on this platform. I am from a world completely different from Earth. But I am sure that most of you who are reading this are familiar with a world like that. It is the world of magic. A world with mana, mages, knights. Rogue bandits, dark forces, demonic beasts, divine churches. Familiar, isn’t it? As you might have guessed, because of mana’s presence an individual can get way too powerful. Our development is focused on Mana. In a way most of our methods of travel, the tools of war, and many more are very much archaic. Our world’s power revolves around a few powerful individuals who rule over millions. Because those few individuals hold the power to destroy millions within their bodies. In that world people with talent and power aim to be the strongest and fight for what they want. In that world, I was born with decent talent. But I wasn't obsessed with power. I was obsessed with the stories. Stories and legends of great heroes, villains, and monsters passed from generations. With that fascination, I cultivated my talents to the fullest potential. I dreamt of traveling the world and unearthing the legends. I wanted to make them known throughout the world. Just like the former Tej, I wanted to be a storyteller as well. And unlike Tej, I have had some success. From the first exploration I embarked to capture the story of the Golden Knight capturing the Draconic Shark, I have covered many stories. Including the legend of the shadow knight, the revenge of the fallen angel, the conquest of the forgotten land and many more. I have followed those events, investigated them and even seen some, met the people involved in it. I wrote those stories so the rest of the world could read them. I did all of that along with a special innovation of mine that could capture images. It does the same job as the thing that you call a camera. In your world, I am what you might consider an investigative journalist. I spent my whole life exploring stories. I have seen my world change bit by bit. I have seen one man destroy it, another man rebuild it, a several trying to preserve it and many more trying to conquer it. It is safe to say I had a great and meaningful life. When I was lying on my deathbed at an old age, I had a smile on my face as I looked at the world outside of my window. I knew I was dying with no regrets. Next thing I knew, I am in the body of this young man, Tej. I got accustomed to this new world with no mana, no magic, but equally convenient if not more, I must say. As much as I was fascinated by the novel inventions and the busier-than-god lifestyles, I was saddened by Tej’s life. I can only say, that he didn’t die the same way that I did. He died a life full of regrets, all the sorrow he suppressed within… In a way, death must have been a release for him and I wish all the peace for his soul. And I found my purpose. To honor the soul of Tej, I shall tell the stories of my world to you on his behalf and in his name. I shall make his name known as a great storyteller. (Note: So, keep my transmigration part a secret. Let’s just keep it between us.) And I will start with my first story. The Legend of the Shadow Night. Its a story of one man's ambition, one man's loss and one man's retaliation. So, interpret as you may and make a judgment on your own. Disclaimer: For convenience sake, I will use Tej as my name in the Story as well.

The Knight And The Apocalypse: A Second Chance At Life (reboot)

"Hah, given enough time, I probably—no, definitely—I would have stopped you." John laughed, his eyes fluttering as his vision blurred. "I will give it to you, that second chance you talked about, but do not fail my expectations," Pallas said, as John's consciousness started to fade, and his eyes closed. John, who had lost the strength to keep his eyes open, overheard the entire conversation, trying to make sense of what these two ancient beings were talking about. But before he could conclude his thoughts, he lost consciousness and died. On May 4th, in the year 1350 of the imperial calendar john von eldrin died at the age of 60. As he lost consciousness, a loud voice called out to him, pulling him back. "Johnny, wake up!" "Mom?" John instinctively said, recognizing the voice. "How did I end up in heaven?" he thought to himself. "Happy 10th birthday, my dear son. May you live a long and blessed life," Irene said with a bright smile, looking at her son lovingly. "I am back?" John thought to himself. ----------------------------------------- Hey folks this is the author here, this is a reboot of my previous novel by the same name, if you are someone who came after reading the novel you have some idea of what i intend to do with this novel. and if you are new there will be no harem in this, frankly I am not a fan of the genre, and writing one romantic plot line is hard enough for me let alone multiple, the series is going to be heavily within the realm of politics, as suggested by the kingdom building tag…ummm yeah that pretty much sums it, there will be romance, action, politics, but no harem, or anything of the sort. THE DISCORD SERVER: https://discord.gg/hwjQEGjv5k Thanks to pink_lolie24 for the new novel cover, I absolutely loved it.

Just To Meet You

*COMPLETED* "If you don't believe me, then follow the family rules." Her eyes closed as she faced her fiancé's accusations and distrust. She inwardly convinced herself. 'This is the last time I'm giving my heart to you, Peter. If you choose her, then we are over.' With a blade in his hand, he charged forward. He watched as the sharp tip of the weapon meets her soft, porcelain chest. Shocked by her unmoving body, he pulled the blade away from the broken skin. Her white top was dyed scarlet while the blade had already dropped to the floor, making a "clang" sound. "Why didn't you dodge?!" Peter Sin attempted few steps forward to apply pressure on her wound. It hurt, but she held in her cries. Blood squirted to his sleeve and shirt when he forced the blade out of her wound. Holding the bloody mess near her heart, a broken smile cracked on her face as she retreated away from the man in front of her. "At the end, you still chose her words over mine. You've never believed in me, but it doesn't matter anymore. Let's break up. Even if we pass by each other in the future, we'll be nothing but strangers." He tried approaching her again, but failed as she strode backwards in larger steps than before. "Mister Sin, goodbye." "Selina!" He screamed, but held back from chasing after her lonesome figure. His heart was a mess as he fell onto the ground and stared at the blood stain on his clothes. __________________ Selina Gu drove straight home where she had prepared herself to announce her failed engagement to her mother, Katrina Gu. Pressing her wound, she slowly leaned against the wall to bring herself to the living room where her mom's voice echoed loudly. Selina: "So, all my life..I've been nothing but a chess piece. Are you done with your game?" Katrina: "...Daughter." Selina: "Daughter? Do you know how many years and efforts I've wanted to hear you call me daughter? But all this is fake. Just an act. I've always convinced myself I'm the one who could do better because I wanted to hear a compliment from you. But you? You've forced me to the edge and suffocated me!" _____________________ Katrina: "It's mother's fault! Don't jump. I'm begging you!" Bryan (Selina's brother): "Did you get bullied? Brother will protect you. Please, come back down! It's dangerous to stand at the edge! You don't know how to swim!" "I don't want to play this game anymore. I'm tired of my life. Didn't you want revenge? I'll complete it for you. Sorry, brother." Selina fell forward with her eyes closed. She didn't struggle as she desired to forget everything. ___________________ Assistant: "Mister Hui, after multiple investigations, we have confirmed that the girl you have been searching for is Selina Gu." _________________ Awakening from her coma after a month later, Selina woke up hearing a familiar voice by her side. Although she couldn't recognize him, her instincts told her he wasn't going to harm her. "Selina! You're awake!" Jason Hui tossed his laptop to the table, ditching the video meeting he was in and hugged her. "Does it hurt anywhere? Are you thirsty? Hungry? I'll go get a doctor!" He spat out countless questions, confusing her greatly. ________________ Jason held her hands, "It's okay if you don't remember me. As long as I remember our promise, that's all it matters. I won't let anyone hurt you anymore." _________________ "Jason Hui!" "Wife, if you're not happy about something you just have to say it. No need to shout. You'll get a sore throat." Selina pointed to the rubber band on the counter, "I forgot to tie my hair, but my hands are dirty from marinating meat. Do you know how to tie girl's hair?" A minute later, a messy ponytail was created and Selina looked at him with a speechless expression. Noting to himself on his calendar, he typed, "Learn how to do wife's hair."

Shaoran : Building systems in Apocalypses

In the year 3256, according to the Earth's calendar, humans had made significant progress, advancing their civilization to a high level. Everything seemed to be going well. However, what humans didn't know was that a huge universal disaster was on its way to their universe. Amidst this looming danger, an organization responsible for keeping an eye on different universes took action. The mysterious Third Prince, well-known for his exceptional problem-solving abilities, came to Earth. Now, as an outsider, he is on a mission to change the future of the universe. What steps will he take to prevent the approaching universal catastrophe? Author's Note: Hello folks! To those who have reached this synopsis, I want to express my gratitude for your interest. I realize I haven't adequately described what this novel is about in the description. Even if I wanted to, it's challenging to summarize it succinctly. Thus, I'm writing this note instead. If you clicked on the link to my novel, it likely means you're interested in two major themes: the 'system' and the 'apocalypse.' If you're here because of the tags, then perhaps it's 'kingdom building' that piqued your interest. Fun fact: this novel has all of this and more, but in a more intricate fashion. In this story, you'll experience a cast of diverse characters. The main protagonist invents the system himself. He doesn't merely build and conquer a kingdom; he aims for the universe. He's also privy to the reasons behind the apocalypse. My goal is to present a novel with fewer plot holes and a fresh narrative. I hope you'll give this novel a chance.

History of pakistan 1947

On 14 August 1947 (27th of Ramadan in 1366 of the Islamic Calendar) Pakistan gained independence. India gained independence the following day. Two of the provinces of British India, Punjab and Bengal, were divided along religious lines by the Radcliffe Commission. Lord Mountbatten is alleged to have influenced the Radcliffe Commission to draw the lines in India's favour.[39][40][41] Punjab's mostly Muslim western part went to Pakistan and its mostly Hindu and Sikh eastern part went to India, but there were significant Muslim minorities in Punjab's eastern section and light Hindus and Sikhs minorities living in Punjab's western areas. There was no conception that population transfers would be necessary because of the partitioning. Religious minorities were expected to stay put in the states they found themselves residing in. However, an exception was made for Punjab which did not apply to other provinces.[42][43] Intense communal rioting in the Punjab forced the governments of India and Pakistan to agree to a forced population exchange of Muslim and Hindu/Sikh minorities living in Punjab. After this population exchange only a few thousand low-caste Hindus remained in Pakistani Punjab and only a tiny Muslim population remained in the town of Malerkotla in India's part of Punjab.[44] Political scientist Ishtiaq Ahmed says that although Muslims started the violence in Punjab, by the end of 1947 more Muslims had been killed by Hindus and Sikhs in East Punjab than the number of Hindus and Sikhs who had been killed by Muslims in West Punjab.[45][46][47] Nehru wrote to Gandhi on 22 August that up to then, twice as many Muslims had been killed in East Punjab than Hindus and Sikhs in West Punjab.[48] More than ten million people migrated across the new borders and between 200,000 and 2,000,000[49][50][51][52] people died in the spate of communal violence in the Punjab in what some scholars have described as a 'retributive genocide' between the religions.[53] The Pakistani government claimed that 50,000 Muslim women were abducted and raped by Hindu and Sikh men and similarly the Indian government claimed that Muslims abducted and raped 33,000 Hindu and Sikh women.[54][55][56] The two governments agreed to repatriate abducted women and thousands of Hindu, Sikh and Muslim women were repatriated to their families in the 1950s. The dispute over Kashmir escalated into the first war between India and Pakistan. With the assistance of the United Nations (UN) the war was ended but it became the Kashmir dispute, unresolved as of 2021.

APOCALYPSE: COUNTERATTACK OF A CANNON FODDER

The long darkness seemed to have lasted for a moment and millions of years. Tang Shi had died in the hands of his half-brother and Lu Chuan, who had told repeatedly that he loved him. When Yan Xu saved Tang Shi with his own life, Tang Shi was betrayed by his team members when he finally escaped. One of the two team members was his brother and the other was his love. The two tied him to a tree, cut off his wrist artery, and let blood drip out. Before the aliens came, they took his heart out alive with a dagger. Before Tang Shi stopped breathing, his beloved brother told him everything and hid himself somewhere in distance to watch the aliens eating his flesh. Lu Chuan had never fallen in love with Tang Shi. When they were both in college, Lu Chuan pursued Tang Shi and pleased him every day trying to prove that how much he loved Tang Shi. It turned out that his ultimate goal was to obtain the ancestral treasure from Tang Shi's mother's family. The person assigned the mission to Lu Chuan was Tang Qi, Tang Shi’s brother! The pain of gouging his heart out was so overwhelming that it was already carved in his bone and soul. He would never forget it no matter how long time it was! He hated them so much! He regretted it very much! If it could happen again, he would never make the same choice! No matter how Lu Chuan knelt in front of him and begged him, he would never have agreed to date him! …… The breeze outside the window slowly blew into the room. The curtains were blown up in the air and the air was fresh. There was no smell of blood and rotting stench. Even though there was pollution and exhaust everywhere, it was much better than the breath of death at the end of the world. The seemly everlasting pain slowly faded away. Once his consciousness returned to his body, Tang Shi took a deep breath and opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was the familiar ceiling. Tang Shi turned over and stood up. He quickly grabbed the only weapon in his hand, the table lamp on the bedside table. It was a European style lamp and the lamp cover was metal, which was the only thing you could call it a weapon he could possibly grabbed. It is a habit developed by a man who have experienced the end of the world, never putting himself in a situation without any weapon in hands. Tang Shi vigilantly scanned the whole room. What he saw was decoration style that he was quite familiar with. He was fully aware that he was dead because his heart was taken away, and his flesh was eaten by aliens, leaving a pile of bones. But now he was alive again. What was going on? Rebirth? Or was the cruelty and pain he experienced just a nightmare? From what he saw in the room, Tang Shi chose the former. When he saw the calendar on the table, his tense nerves relaxed. Tang Shi put down the lamp and quickly walked to the table. He picked up the desk calendar and quickly flipped through it. Today was August 16th, 2016. He really was reborn and he was reborn prior to the beginning of the end of the world three years ago. No one who had experienced the end of the world would care less about their lives. Since Tang Shi had such a chance to live through it again, he would grab the chance. This time, he must be extra careful to choose whom he should trust. He would never become a cannon fodder anymore! Tang Shi tried his best to remember the past. On this very day three years ago, he had the most intense fight with Tang Minghai. It was true that he was gay, but he was not into any man or went out with any random man. Under Tang Qi's encouragement, he decided to accept Lu Chuan's pursuit and completely fall out with his family. Even though he was only 22 years old, he was still a man with a brave and dignified self. He swore impulsively that he would never ask Tang Minghai for a penny. Thankfully, he had graduated from university and could support himself with his salary. Therefore, he moved out of the house ever since.

Villainess for the Devil

In the year 675th of the imperial calendar, the empress, known for her brawn and wits, died at the hands of her beloved emperor. However, she awoke ten years prior to her death and in the body of Marsella Ross. Marsella Ross. A good-for-nothing bastard child of Marquess Ross. Lived in the outskirt of the capital with only her nanny, the empress, now in this body and had this identity as Marsella swore to live peacefully — away from the bloody path she had taken, away from the power struggle. But is living peacefully possible when reality slapped her with the news of her sudden engagement with the Grand Duke? The Grand Duke of Esmond, Luis Deviltooth Deamonne. A maniacal tyrant. Rumors have it bloodshed followed him like a shadow. He would murder nobles on a whim, and was said to have a heart as frigid as the cold north. With a marriage plotted by the emperor to keep him under control, many assumed Marsella and Luis’ will disavow their engagement. But alas, it had the complete opposite effect to them. They looked forward to it. A villainess for the devil. Except: “I now pronounce you, husband and wife! You may now kiss the bride!” I turned and faced my groom, and he lifted my veil. Just like mine, the corner of his lips curled up devilishly as our eyes met. Red meets black. “They say a confident smile is the most beautiful accessory a woman can wear, but I’d say your smirk is, my wife.” He mused in a low tone, eyes glinting mischievously. “I beg to disagree, my husband.” A chuckle slipped past my lips as I quirked a brow. “A woman’s best accessory is a handsome man.” “Handsome? You surely have an odd taste to say that.” I closed my eyes as he leaned in, waiting for his lips against mine. “I do not have an odd taste. It was just that my taste is beyond fashion, my husband.” Luis let out a low and soft chuckle before his lips touched mine, sealing this marriage with a kiss, and marking the beginning of our constant banter. In most stories, marriage meant a happily ever after. But to them, it was just the beginning. As their marriage progressed, secrets that lie in her blood slowly unveil, giving her an insatiable thirst that wasn't easily quenched. Could Luis accept his wife, who wasn't a normal human? And with the threats to his life, could Marsella disregard the peaceful life she longed to protect her husband? Temporary novel cover to celebrate women's month.
