Silence Scans

In a world smothered by ash and silence, Austin wanders through the ruins of a once-thriving civilization, scavenging for survival and searching for answers. Haunted by the oppressive monotony of the quarantine zones and driven by whispers of underground sanctuaries, he risks everything to uncover a life beyond the decay. When he stumbles upon a cryptic note: "Seek the truth below". Austin’s journey takes a darker turn. Rumors of hidden facilities, where the powerful retreated during the collapse, intertwine with eerie occurrences and the unsettling feeling that the ruins are not as lifeless as they seem. As he ventures deeper into the remnants of humanity, Austin confronts not only the desolation of the world but also the echoes of its secrets. In the crumbling streets and shadowed depths, survival means more than finding food and water; it means uncovering the truth about what destroyed the world—and what might still lie beneath its surface.

In a world where every individual awakens their "System" at 18, people are categorized based on the purpose of their System—Warriors, Mages, Artisans, Healers, and other archetypes. However, the male protagonist receives the Archivist System, which is perceived as the weakest. At first glance, it offers only two features: 1. Scan: This ability allows them to analyze people, objects, and environments, extracting data into their "Archive." 2. Store: This feature enables them to store skills, spells, and even memories, though they cannot use them directly. Ridiculed as useless, the protagonist works quietly, building a vast repository of information. As they delve deeper into the Archive, he uncovers hidden functions that enable him to rewrite reality, recreate ancient powers, and even manipulate the System itself.

# CALM # DECISIVEKILLS After “Renegade Immortal”, “Pursuit of the Truth”, “I Shall Seal the Heavens”, “A Will Eternal”, and “A World Worth Protecting”, this is Ergen’s sixth long-length novel, “Outside of Time”. Xu Qing’s world sank into deathly silence after the descendence of “God”. Master cultivators brought the human race and escaped the continent, and the remaining people struggled to survive. Every place that was met by “God’s” gaze had nearly all life forms wiped out. Young Xu Qing was lucky enough to survive. But in a world where ferocious beasts roamed and infighting was rampant within the human race, it was difficult to survive. “If cultivation doesn’t give me the power to fight against God, then I shall become God myself!” This is a story of how a human teenager became a god, step by step, to survive.

This is a game of deities. This is a fallen world. This is an endless voyage. Amidst the ruins of a shattered reality, a race known as "humans" dares to stake their existence on the faint glimmer of hope. "I shall return unto you the trials we once endured," proclaims a man of benevolent smile as he stands atop the pinnacle of the world. With fluttering banners, he gazes upon the radiant tapestry of the cosmos. He points a single finger toward the distant stars. Boom! A thunderous explosion shatters the silence, echoing across the desolate landscape.

Khal Valrath was a name that inspired fear, respect, and silence. A general who lived for duty and sacrificed everything else. His victories were countless, but so were the bodies left in his wake. His death should have been the end—a fitting punishment for a man with nothing left to lose. But it wasn't. He’s back, thrown into a past that reeks of regret and blood. A past that refuses to let go. The ghosts he thought buried haunt him still, their voices louder, their weight heavier. He wants to fix it, to make things right. But how do you save a world when duty still feels like chains, and redemption tastes like ash in your mouth? And worse—what if you can’t even save yourself?

They say we’re cursed, bound by sins carved into our blood. But curses don’t break chains—people do. The gods have turned their backs, and the flames of Cyris creep closer with every breath. The elders preach salvation through obedience, through silence, through submission. But I will not crawl. I will not kneel. If the gods won’t save us, then I’ll drag us out of the darkness myself, even if it means setting the heavens on fire.

Karl, a young man stuck in a rough patch after losing his job and burning through almost all his savings, wandered through the cold, dark streets of Eldoria. On the damp, silent sidewalks, he stumbled upon something bizarre: an old gacha machine mysteriously appearing at every corner he turned, almost as if it was following him.

To his shock, an app called "Common Sense Manipulation App" installed itself on his phone, claiming it could alter people's "common sense." ------ Support Me By Gifts or Power Stones -----

Blood pooled across the floor, the sharp metallic scent mixing with the stifling air. Their teacher’s lifeless body lay crumpled, a gaping hole where his forehead had been. The entire class stood frozen, paralyzed by fear as the strange, unfeeling object hovered, its crimson sensor scanning the room like a predator sizing up its prey. Jin Dalle’s heart thundered in her chest, her trembling hands gripping the edge of her desk as her wide, terrified eyes darted toward the window. Above the school, it loomed—a machine neither bird nor beast, its cold, metallic surface glinting in the sunlight. Then, like a curtain of despair, an impenetrable barrier encased the campus, a shimmering dome stretching across the horizon. A cold, mechanical voice pierced the silence: "Commencing Operation REJUVENATION. Initiative 21—status: green. Attention: all humans in Zone 1 (Paradisus). Only two subjects will be permitted to exit the dome alive. Any attempt to escape will result in immediate incineration. T-minus 1,260 seconds to initiation." Panic erupted as the weight of the announcement settled. This was no test, no cruel joke. It was survival—an unspeakable game of life and death. Jin’s knees buckled under the pressure. She couldn’t kill. How could she? But survival demanded more than resolve; it demanded blood. Beside her stood Choi Minhee, her expression cold, her resolve sharper than a blade. Minhee didn’t flinch at the thought of taking a life—she would do whatever it took to survive, even if it meant staining her hands red. Together, they must navigate the abyss of betrayal, desperation, and despair. Trust is fragile, and hope is fleeting. As the dome becomes their battlefield, only two truths remain: death lurks in every shadow, and luck, that fickle mistress, could be their savior—or their undoing. Jin and Minhee must fight through hell, clinging to their wits, their instincts, and the faint, fragile thread of fortune. In a world where survival comes at the cost of humanity, who will be left standing when the dome finally falls?

Every evening, I retreat to my corner of the café, a place where the world seems to pause, as I get absorbed in my world of literature and fiction.

Something about this new silence has me very captivated, something new, something different.

Good and evil are but shadows cast by the same spinning coin. Justice is a myth—a lullaby for the weak to mask their fear of strength. In this world one can only rely on one's strength. It is not righteousness or mercy that shapes destiny, but the iron grip of might, crushing all beneath it. When the coin lands, it matters not which side faces up the only truth is this—those without strength are but dust, swept away by the will of the strong. A wise man once said that with great power comes great responsibility but I say that great power comes at a great price. As they say there is nothing free in this world, everything has a price. In order to gain something you have to lose something. People often lose themselves in pursuit of power. Their motives for seeking strength may differ but in the end it all leads to one end, some to protect their loved ones, some for recognition, some for survival and some to get revenge. They don't realize that on the journey they often lose themselves becoming the once they hated the most. They say it's often the purest of soul's that are easy to corrupt. This is the story of such a soul. This is his journey, his pursuit for strength, the reason behind it, the choices he had to make on the way and their consequences.
