Bastion Remnant

“Come not between the Dragon and his Wrath.” — William Shakespeare The year was 2140, and Earth was nothing but a distant memory. Humanity now drifted through the galaxies aboard colossal ARKs, massive skyships that served as the last bastions of civilization. Yet, these ARKs were more than just floating cities; they were humanity’s last containers, preserving what remained of their species. A century before Earth's final collapse, humanity discovered a gateway to a realm known as Eternia — a fantastical world straight out of myth and legend. Reaching this realm required more than just advanced technology; it demanded a complete departure from the physical body and entry into a mysterious process known as the Dream Weave. In the present day, Cloud lived aboard ARK NO. 427, where he had been training from a young age to step into the Dream Weave. He was a standout among his peers, excelling in every tasks that came his way. Everything seemed to be on track for him — until the pivotal day of the Class Selection process.

The Silverston Empire teeters on the edge of ruin. A foolish emperor and his reckless sons cling to power, while the nobility, consumed by greed and ambition, bleed the empire dry. The people live in crushing poverty, women are silenced by systemic oppression, and magic—once a source of wonder—has been branded as sin. The ancient dragons, symbols of balance and strength, are no more, leaving the land vulnerable and fractured. All hope rests on the Alcons, a forgotten bastion of power. Its guardians? Six princesses, dismissed as spoiled and unfit for anything beyond luxury. But beneath the silks and jewels lie secrets and strengths even they do not fully understand. In a world spiraling into darkness, can these unlikely heroines rise to reclaim their empire and restore the balance?

Tianwu Continent, thirteen hundred years ago. The ancestors followed the strongest primal beasts, picking up the scraps of other primal beasts' carcasses left behind by their consumption. The mighty primal beasts did not bother to pay attention to these creatures smaller than their toe tips, while the ancestors felt immense gratitude towards the primal beasts for leaving behind some remnants, to which they prostrated themselves in worship.

At dawn. The light of dawn lingered, hesitant to arrive, while the remnants of the setting sun had long faded into darkness. Within the city shrouded in thin mist, the hidden churches in the shadows, veins clinging to the cracks in walls, the gnawing sounds echoing from the sewers, and the murmuring shadows... A lantern bearer strolled forward.

Stories were never just fiction. The moment a tale is completed, its world is given form. But when stories remain unfinished, they unravel into reality—twisting, replacing, and consuming what once was. In a world where the written word shapes existence, only the Loreforged—those who can wield and complete these stories—stand between order and oblivion. But this is not a hero’s tale. Zayne was nothing. A young man without a purpose, buried beneath a world that had already written him out. A slave, a servant, a forgotten remnant of an uncaring world about to get rid of him. That was until the unfortunate fate of being near an Unraveling came upon him—and the only way to survive was to defy everything, including the death being brought upon him. With nothing but his newfound power, a smirk, and a reckless disregard for the rules of existence, he will forge his own legend—or burn everything down trying.

Follow Alexander as he entirely warps the perception of what a Gem Master is- as he embarks on a journey to become...The Empyreal Gem Master!

When Liam Cross awakens in the ruins of a shattered world, he has no memory of how he got there—only the realization that Earth is no longer the world he once knew. The skies are fractured with storms of unnatural energy, and monstrous creatures stalk the remnants of civilization. But amid the chaos, a mysterious Omniversal System integrates into his very being, granting him abilities beyond human limits. Marked as "Unawakened," Liam quickly learns that survival is more than just luck—it’s evolution. As he battles grotesque mutants and navigates the treacherous remains of a once-thriving world, his system gradually unlocks new powers, weapons, and hidden knowledge about the catastrophe that befell humanity. Each fight pushes his Awakening Progress, but also draws the attention of something far worse than the creatures roaming the ruins. His first true challenge arrives in the form of the Alpha Stalker, a towering predator with intelligence surpassing the mindless mutants. Forced to choose between standing his ground or seeking refuge, Liam's struggle leads him to the Tower of Shadows, a mysterious structure filled with remnants of advanced technology, hidden caches, and long-forgotten secrets. Within its depths, he begins to unravel the truth—this apocalypse was not an accident. As he fights for survival, Liam realizes that he is not alone. Others have awakened, some as allies, and some as threats far greater than the monsters. If he wants to survive—if he wants to carve out a future in this new world—he must push past his limits, uncover the true purpose of the Omniversal System, and rise to become something more. Because in this world, only the strongest ascend.

If a child is born with a godlike command of magic, they are no longer human. Caspian Dawson has the innate ability to see the metaphysical forces behind magic and understands the craft like no one else, which is both a blessing and a curse. A blessing, because Caspian is the most powerful magician on Earth. A curse, because his power has isolated him from humanity since he was a child. In a world where magic is an arcane science, the remnant of the Kingdom of Britannia struggles to maintain its place on the global stage. And if that wasn't enough, the squabbling noble houses with high magical capacity threaten to tear the nation apart from within. Now, with the kingdom embroiled in a global cold war, graduate student Caspian Dawson is finally ready to flex his wings and show the world what he can do, all while concealing his true identity from the most powerful sorceress in the kingdom: his lover and classmate, Jessamine. Slow-burn, character-focused magic realism.

In the neon-drenched slums of Galvaris Prime, survival isn’t just a struggle—it’s an art. Sol, a resourceful young tech scavenger, has spent his life outsmarting gangsters, corrupt enforcers, and the ever-watchful eyes of the megacorporations that rule the city. But when a job goes wrong, he finds himself on the run, caught in a web of secrets far larger than he ever imagined. With only his wits, his skills, and an experimental system whispering in his mind, Sol must navigate a world where power is everything, and those without it are left to rot. The deeper he delves into the underbelly of the city, the clearer it becomes—his past, his future, and his very existence may hold more value than he ever realized. To break free, he’ll need to become more than just another forgotten remnant of the slums. (Usually post 3 chapter every night, sometimes more)

Born into a noble family with a legacy of Fire elemental martial prowess, Lassim possesses an unparalleled gift on his 8th birthday—a connection to two differing elemental spirits, a feat unheard of in the history of his world. A gift and a tampering of the order until now that is an omen. It is a sign of the Gods influencing the future fate of Nexaria on a more serious level. Lassim must harness the power of his dual spirits to protect his loved ones and confront the looming threat of the Abyss' encroachment on his universe, but one step at a time as he grows from just a tool of the God's to a major power as the hero of not only Nexaria, but the entire universe.

Thank you.

Having opened his eyes once more, Chu Zheng found the world turned upside down. He had transformed from a Cultural Relic Restorer into a household slave. At the same time, a new feature had emerged within his body: a Repair Panel that refreshed daily, enabling his skills to continuously advance. 【Incomplete Mantra (repairable)】→【Great Circulatory Breathing Guideline】 【Ruined Temple Remnant (repairable)】→【Ancestral Dao Golden Body】 【Damaged Spirit Root (repairable)】→【Superior Quality Immortal Bone】 ………… In an era of cultivating truth, heroes compete fiercely, and prodigies rise together.

In the shattered reflection of AuE—Imbragea—truth is spoken in errors, and answers whisper through paradoxes. When Y’z Yaggdrasil, the cosmic lattice binding existence, is severed, reality fractures into a labyrinth of shifting perceptions. Time loops unpredictably, memories rewrite themselves, and the laws of nature obey contradictions rather than constants. A scholar cursed with paradox sight, sees the world both as it was and as it never could be. Drawn into Imbragea’s chaotic depths, he searches for the remnants of Y’z Yaggdrasil, hoping to undo the severance.

But as the boundaries between self and shadow blur, one question remains: If Imbragea is only a reflection, what was it meant to reflect?

Hoping to believe the man's words, even though they sounded like nonsense, something that tugged on his vulnerability, Sorn agreed to join the nameless independent survival group led by a strange man. Ralf, a mysterious man immune to the zombie virus, someone with unique abilities that sometimes made Sorn think he was not human. The more he interacted with the man, the more confusing things became for Sorn. He was reluctant to admit that being friends with him wasn't entirely unpleasant. Eventually, when Ralf revealed his past, Sorn became more convinced that meeting his sister was a goal worth pursuing. Even so, he couldn't truly believe that his sister was still alive, as Ralf claimed. The memory of watching her get eaten by a horde of zombies was still fresh in his mind. "I promise I'll bring your sister back. Before your birthday comes, you'll see her right in front of you. Will you trust me?" Sorn's chest felt warm and oddly fluttery, he simply nodded, trusting the man in silence—though it was very difficult to say so verbally. — (are you tired with red flag top? then read this if you like actions, slaying zombie, and green flag top!)
