Enlistment Countdown

“Five… Four… Three… Two… One…” As the countdown towards the new year went on to the last second, Miles looked up to the sky, just as everybody else did. In the middle of the crowded street, Miles for once felt like he belonged. Being a teenage gamer, living with his parents, and trying to build a life as a streamer, he did not feel like leaving his room every day. But there, in the middle of that crowded street, with everyone around him paying attention to the sky, the countdown on the digital billboard, and mostly anything else but him., Miles felt like a ghost. A welcomed ghost, but a ghost, after all. With a smile on his unseen face, he looked up as the countdown reached one, and everybody sang in unison. ‘HAPPY NEW YEAR!” But Miles’ eyes widened as he watched in utter horror, and curiosity, even, hovering above him, a holographic screen with a few lines of text written in it. All around him, although he did not pay much attention to it, a few other people seemed to experience the same situation.

Before he could think of anything else, though, the people around him began to scream…

I'm just a patient with an incurable disease, who's been given up on treatment and has a countdown to death. Embarking on the path of exorcising demons and annihilating immortals with my crippled body is not for the sake of protecting my family and country, but because the hazardous duty pay is too tempting, especially the compensation... "This Evil Gods profession system is cursed, even if there's smooth progress in the early stages, the practitioners will eventually commit suicide..." "Give me a set." "This Demon Sword poisons its user and has already taken ninety-nine lives..." "Give me two, and also that man-eating demonic helmet, soul-devouring blood claws, get me a set." "This Magic Potion is harmful to heaven and earth..." "Enough talk, I'll take them all!" However, the problem is, why am I still alive after taking on all these high-risk missions, stepping on every risk, and doing every deadly task? 【Congratulations, congratulations! Ranked first among the Top Ten Heroes Who Moved the World...】 "...Heavens, wasn't the average life expectancy in this line of work three and a half years?

I just want to make an honor sacrifice, scam some compensation! Is that so hard?!"

Fifty years ago, the gods issued a warning—the Underworld will be unbound in two centuries, unleashing an apocalyptic catastrophe upon both Earth and Elysium. To prepare, humanity was granted access to Elysium, a realm of magic, monsters, and ancient power. Through the Soulweave System, humans could grow stronger, their abilities transferring between worlds. But death in Elysium was absolute, and the struggle for survival was merciless. Now, with only 150 years remaining, Earth has fractured into a dystopia ruled by factions that control access to Elysium’s resources. The Nightspires lead brutal expeditions, the Dawnbuilders refine Aether to sustain Earth, and the Bridgers maintain a delicate balance between the two realms. Meanwhile, the rogue faction known as The Unbound seeks to force the apocalypse forward, wielding forbidden magic to accelerate the collapse of reality itself. Elias Varian, a chemist and alchemist, has spent his life studying Aether, bridging the logic of science with the chaos of magic. But when an experiment with Void energy mutates him, he loses the ability to return to Earth through sleep—physically stranded in Elysium with a body unraveling under an unknown affliction. Hunted by those who fear what he is becoming, Elias must navigate a world that no longer sees him as human. As the countdown to the Unbinding continues, forgotten truths resurface, ancient forces stir, and the gods remain silent. But something else is watching—waiting. When the Underworld breaks free, will humanity rise… or shatter?

Kisha Aldens ist eine normale Büroangestellte mit durchschnittlichem Verdienst, bis sie plötzlich einen System-Countdown vor sich sieht. Ihr Verstand empfängt plötzlich eine prompte Warnung vor der Apokalypse und fordert sie auf, sich in das System zu integrieren, um ihr beim Überleben zu helfen. "Habe ich mich schon wieder überanstrengt?" dachte sie und kniff sich in den Nasenrücken. Sie blinzelte noch ein paar Mal, aber die Systemschnittstelle war immer noch da. Sie ahnte nicht, dass dieses System ihr letzter Rettungsanker in der bevorstehenden Apokalypse sein würde, in der die menschliche Moral am niedrigsten ist, Vertrauen nur ein Wort ist und Verrat innerhalb eines Wimpernschlags geschehen kann. Eine naive Person wie sie musste ihre Lektion auf die harte Tour lernen, wie man in der zombieverseuchten Welt überlebt und sich zurechtfindet. Und das Schlimmste ist, dass sie 99 Mal sterben musste, um ihr Herz abzuhärten und zu lernen, wie man das menschliche Herz liest. Wie wird sich ihr 100. Mal von den vorherigen Leben unterscheiden, wird sie dieses Mal überleben? Und wird das Überleben ihr einziges Problem im Herzen der Apokalypse sein? Nein, es war ein tieferer Plan im Spiel, den sie aufdecken muss, um weiterzukommen.

Leon lived an ordinary life like common folks in the modern world. Naive and normal he was, until he was sent to a different timeline, where he replaced Leon of that timeline. Not a modern world, but an ancient time for sure. The world was arcane for the boy, a world divided by classes of holy and commoners. Unfortunately, he wasn't a boy with a golden spoon in his mouth but rather a commoner like others. People in the holy class had the power akin to magic, but those in the lower class weren't that special. Like every story, Leon power aroused from slumber; an ordinary had awakened a power akin to what we call 'SSS LLevel.' When the authorities of Holy Palace found out, they enlisted him in their list of 'Hero'. Leon never cared. What he pondered all the time was to enjoy even this life. He wasn't transmigrated nor reincarenated. He ruminated about his purpose: 'why was he sent here?' at first, nothing surged in mind until his Heroic journey concluded; he had realized the purpose.

Ten years ago, the world was captivated by a groundbreaking VR MMORPG, a fully immersive experience that allowed players to step into the shoes of legendary heroes in a realm of magic and wonder. For a decade, they built their lives, forged their identities, and left their marks on what they thought was just a game. But when the servers shut down, the truth shattered everything. The game world wasn’t just a virtual reality, it was a fabricated timeline, a fragile imitation of the true Magic world . And now, the countdown has begun. The players, ripped from their lives on Earth and the simulation, find themselves in the Magic World, ten years younger but burdened with all the memories of the game and their old lives. Their in-game personas, once vibrant and driven by purpose, are now hollow shells, unable to act on their own. Even worse, Earth’s timeline fragile and unprotected has been paused, and its collapse is inevitable. To prevent disaster, the 10 Originals, the most renowned players of the game, must rise once more. But this time, there are no systems to guide them, no respawns, and no safety nets. The high realm is real, its dangers far deadlier than any raid boss. And as the countdown ticks away, inconsistencies between the worlds begin to unravel reality itself. Thrown into a world they don’t fully understand, hunted by their own past mistakes, and racing against time to stop the collapse of Earth’s timeline, the Originals must uncover the secrets of the game’s creation and find a way to stabilize the Magic World. The clock is ticking, and the fate of three worlds rests on their shoulders. Will the Originals be able to fix the chaos they caused, or will everything they fought for crumble into nothingness?

Reich never expected to wake up in the body of a dead beggar, let alone one who perished in the crossfire of two legendary mages.

He can be burned, crushed, torn apart—he will always heal. Yet pain remains. Every wound, every death that should have been final, lingers in his body’s memory. And when the countdown reaches zero, the true test will begin.

Armed with sheer determination and dwindling strength, he faces the unstoppable forces of an otherworldly horde— and their enigmatic leader, the red-eyed Masked Man. Seven years in the past, Jacender and his twin brother Aleximus train relentlessly in the Axis —a mysterious forest of crimson trees that has been their home for as long as they can remember. Though bound by their uncle Matsuda's warnings to stay hidden, the twins dream of escaping the Axis to uncover the secrets of the world beyond its borders. They defy their uncle’s wishes, enlisting the help of their younger sister Anna, whose strange healing powers carry an ominous, unintended cost. But their quest for freedom shatters when a powerful enemy breaches the Axis, kidnapping Anna and revealing the grim reality of the outside world. Now forced to flee their sanctuary, Jacender and Aleximus embark on a perilous journey to Pendragon, a distant nation their uncle believes can shelter them from those pursuing the ancient Codex Jacender carries with him. Fueled by grief and vengeance, the twins vow to destroy the organization that razed their home — no matter the cost. As they traverse a dangerous continent filled with warring factions, ancient magic, and sinister political and religious forces, the brothers unravel the truth of their origins — and the fate they were born to face.  Yet Aleximus bears a haunting secret: a prophecy whispered in his dreams, foretelling a future drenched in darkness. And with every step forward, he feels the whisper growing louder; and with it — a fear for his brother's destiny.

Nova City, Earth - 2,150 A.D Ryne, an athletic teenager with a penchant for parkour, is trying his best to survive in a world that does nothing but punish him.

When the time ticks down to zero, people across the globe manifest bizarre and extraordinary abilities while the rest of humanity transforms into grotesque and monstrous creatures. Ryne must confront his inner demons and make a choice—cling to the flickering ember of hope or succumb to the overwhelming despair surrounding him—all the while navigating a landscape plagued by mutant beings. ----------------------------------------------------- Author's Note: As you may know, I'm also the author of My Undeath, a reincarnation novel set in a fantasy world. It wasn't my best work, but I loved writing the story. I put a lot more time and effort into Fractured Horizon, and ironed out the details over the course of a year before writing and publishing it here. If you liked My Undeath, this novel has almost ten times more planning put into it before release. ----------------------------------------------------- Schedule: 7-15 chapters per week Chapter Length 1,000-2,000 words Disclaimers: 1. The 'Earth' in this world is not as we know it to be. Applying common sense is pointless. 2. There are not any planned harems. 3. Increasing powers/strength in this novel will feel similar to cultivation, but this is not a cultivation novel. 4. These creatures aren't zombies as you know them and will not be called such by the characters, but that's all I will say here. -------------------------------------------- Themes: fantasy, science fiction, zombie-like mutated creatures, adventure, dark, horror, survival. -------------------------------------------- Inspiration: Resident Evil definitely inspired the world. Growing up, I played the Resident Evil games and watched the movies. All of The Walking Dead never entertained me because it was mostly drama and hardly any tension. 28 Days/Weeks later, Resident Evil, World War Z, Army of the Dead, Train to Busan, All of us are Dead, Z Nation, etc. are all cemented in my brain as thrilling pieces of zombie fiction. -------------------------------------------- Support the Author: Please use coins/stones/golden tickets, or review my novel!

In a world on the brink of annihilation, Aarav Sharma is given a second chance—one month before Earth faces a disaster that will push humanity to its very limits. Reborn into a timeline where the countdown to extinction has already begun, Aarav carries the memories of his first life, where he witnessed the fall of cities, the deaths of countless comrades, and the collapse of everything he fought to protect. But this time, he’s not alone. A mysterious system has embedded itself within his mind, offering him blueprints of advanced technologies—spaceships, battleships, and human machines capable of defending Earth against the horrors that lurk beyond the stars. With these tools, Aarav embarks on a desperate journey to rewrite the fate of humanity. As he races against time, Aarav uncovers secret organizations that have operated in the shadows for centuries—Shadow Guardians, Space Guardians, and the Human Alliance, among others. Each holds a piece of the puzzle, but gathering them together will require more than just intellect; it will demand sacrifices, betrayals, and the courage to face the unknown. Aarav’s quest is fraught with danger as he encounters hostile alien races, political intrigue among Earth’s nations, and the ever-present shadow of his past failures. Alongside a growing band of allies—including a romantic harem of fierce and intelligent women—he must navigate the treacherous path to survival. But every victory comes at a cost, and the weight of his comrades’ deaths bears down on him with every step.

For this is the part of no return, and the future of multiple galaxies hangs in the balance. Will Aarav succeed in forging a new destiny for humankind, or will the darkness consume them all? The journey has just begun, and the stakes have never been higher.
