We were a peaceful people living in harmony with nature in the vast lands of Lyréanor, but this peace was short-lived when our people were defeated by the dark elves, an ancient people even older than this world. It is said that they arrived in Lyréanor by boat and since their arrival, chaos has been unleashed. Proud of their obscure power, derived from dark rituals, they have raised gigantic armies of monsters whose name is synonymous with terror: ‘Obscurus’. They went on the rampage, and everywhere they went the grass didn't grow back, life died and disintegrated. Seven, there were seven. The seven dark elves known as the Lords of the Apocalypse. A single gesture from them was enough to strike us all down, a single gesture from one of them was enough to decimate us in blood and terror. And as I, Foster, contemplate the macabre scene before me, the bloodied and deformed bodies of my fellow elfes beings, and as death grips my soul, a strange sign appeared before me. [Ding...

A hundred years ago, a pitch-black meteorite crashed in the western lands, unleashing hordes of monstrous Shadowbeast. Humanity was forced to retreat eastward, barely managing to survive.

This time, he will shake the world!

In a world where technology is both a blessing and a curse, Ethan Stone is the enigmatic founder of SHIELD—a covert organization focused on global security—and the genius behind Sprint, a revolutionary auto-tech company that outshines even the most ambitious ventures of today. To the outside world, Ethan is just another tech billionaire with a mysterious past, but beneath the surface, he’s a master hacker, a fearless strategist, and a relentless force who refuses to bow to any government or authority. Ethan’s journey into the shadows began years ago when he infiltrated a secret government project experimenting on human augmentation. Although he came out of it with cybernetic enhancements that push the limits of human ability, he chose to remain fully human on the outside. His body may be altered, but his mind, spirit, and determination are unyieldingly his own. However, the digital fortress Ethan has built around his life begins to crumble when Mariam—a fiercely independent fashion designer—unexpectedly steps into his world. Initially, she’s just another civilian he’s trying to protect from his dangerous enemies. But as their bond deepens, Ethan realizes that protecting Mariam means more to him than any mission or project he’s undertaken before. She becomes the light in his otherwise dark and calculated life, reminding him of his remaining humanity. But Ethan’s enemies are ruthless, and they’ll stop at nothing to bring him down. When a shadowy figure from his past launches a series of brutal attacks, targeting Ethan and everyone he cares about, he’s forced to go on the offensive. Despite all his enhancements and strategic brilliance, he’s never faced a threat this personal. And it’s not just his life on the line—it’s Mariam’s as well. Determined to keep her safe without compromising who she is, Ethan uses his most cutting-edge technology: self-healing nanobots designed to protect her from harm without altering her humanity. As Mariam is thrust deeper into Ethan’s world of cyber warfare, mercenary armies, and covert battles, she proves time and again that she’s not just someone who needs protection—she’s his partner, his equal, and, perhaps, his greatest strength. Together, they navigate a labyrinth of secrets, betrayals, and shifting allegiances, as Ethan faces enemies old and new. As the shadowy figure continues to haunt them, Ethan must confront the question he’s been avoiding: can he truly protect Mariam without losing himself in the process? And what happens when the lines between human and machine blur beyond recognition? Beyond the Firewall is a high-stakes, action-packed saga blending elements of sci-fi, romance, and adventure. With a storyline spanning thousands of chapters, this epic series explores the price of power, the limits of technology, and the strength that comes from embracing one's humanity amidst a world where everything else can be hacked, upgraded, or controlled.

In a world where humanity has lost dominion over Earth, monstrous invaders reign supreme. Once-mighty nations have crumbled, reduced to isolated fortresses surrounded by an endless tide of beasts.

In a world where magic thrives and mythical beasts lurk in the shadows, Tohgi Akura is born into the unforgiving southern district of Vandekar—a lawless land ruled by bandits and plagued by poverty. Despite his humble beginnings, Tohgi harbours an audacious dream: to achieve recognition not for himself but for the overlooked and downtrodden people of his homeland. To realize this dream, he must become a Knight, a title synonymous with honour, power, and nobility. Tohgi’s raw talent rivals the elite, but his lack of noble heritage leaves him scorned by the privileged. Yet, his unwavering determination and resilience catch the attention of influential figures who see potential in the unrefined boy. With their guidance, Tohgi rises through the ranks, challenging a society built to keep people like him in the dirt. However, ambition has its price. As Tohgi carves his path toward greatness, his defiance of the status quo ignites conflicts that spiral into devastating wars. In his quest to protect those he loves and uphold his ideals, Tohgi must grapple with the weight of his choices and the sacrifices demanded by his legacy. The Journey of Tohgi Akura: 1. The Knight’s Path. 2. A Knight’s Dilemma. 3. Terrorist’s Mirror. 4. The Dark Truth. 5. National War. 6. Rise of the South. 7. The World Engulfed. Tohgi’s brilliance and strength make him a natural leader, but his journey is defined by contradiction. His moral ambiguity, reliance on intellect, and tendency to isolate himself complicate his path. Beneath his unyielding exterior lies a man burdened by the pain of his people and the weight of his choices. As he battles societal rejection and his inner demons, Tohgi’s story asks: Will he be remembered as a hero… a tyrant… or… just another man? Tohgi’s Odyssey is a tale of ambition, loyalty, and the unrelenting cost of dreams—a story of a boy’s rise from the shadows of poverty to the heights of power, and the tumultuous legacy he leaves behind. Do not hesitate to comment your thoughts at any point in the story, it would bring me great joy to be able to interact with readers of my work. I hope to see you on the other side.

A life of riches and luxury had always been synonymous with her name. As the heiress of a powerful conglomerate, she lived a life of glamour and wealth—a life many envied. But behind that glamor, the grand parties, and the life of an elite, it was all a lie. The young, brilliant, and beautiful woman was nothing like the image she portrayed or the lies she had spun. A con artist. That was what she was. But what happens when a meticulous con artist—who had made a living stealing from the rich—falls into a trap and wakes up in another world? A world where human beasts roam freely through the woods, vampires prowl the night, and magic is fading. A time of towering castles and fortified walls, where the slightest misstep could spark a war, and modern technology has yet to be introduced. And to make things worse? She wakes up in the body of Solana Arthur, the first female emperor of one of the largest wolf packs—a former outcast turned as the first she-Alpha. A woman who possessed the same power, strength, and dominance as any male Alpha—perhaps even more. Stronger. Fiercer. More ruthless than them all. Evil ran in her blood, and hatred followed her like a shadow. A villain whose only purpose was to torment. So what happens when a con artist, a woman who built her life on deception, is forced to navigate the world as its most feared villain? And to make it even worse—this villain’s harem is filled with her war trophies.

In an instant, our world disappeared. It began with people turning into zombies, leading to chaos. Civilization crumbled as people fought and exploited one another. betrayed siblings, wives killed husbands, men butchered themselves, and women sold their bodies. Friends became enemies, and gangs rose as warlords, ruling over the ruins with blood and fear. Soon, cannibalism became the norm as the government fell silent, its remnants fading into obscurity. But that was only the beginning. The undead multiplied, spreading like an unstoppable plague. Cities crumbled, and desperate survivors fled to the countryside, finding no escape. Society fractured, and everything changed—some believed it was nature reclaiming its throne while others saw it as mankind’s downfall. Then came the true disaster: the infection spread to animals, plants, and the land, morphing the world into something hostile. Amid this chaos, a force known as the organizers emerged, selecting 10 million individuals across eight continents. These users gained access to a strategic system, allowing them to build fortresses, craft weapons, and become warlords. Survival came at a cost; users could bury zombie corpses in designated crypts for points while preventing contamination. Commanders leading the strongest factions could absorb others' systems, fostering a brutal cycle of conquest as the dead rose and the living turned against one another.

As war engulfs the continent, Baronia clings to its crumbling empire, calling upon its youth to fight for a cause they barely understand. Among them is Hans Bergmann, a cadet indoctrinated into the ideals of the Reich but plagued by doubt and haunting visions of doom. When the Wilmenians breach Fortress Lake Caden, Hans and his comrades are thrown into battle with little more than outdated weapons and blind obedience. Alongside his best friend Peter Haber, he struggles to survive as their once-unshakable defenses collapse under the relentless assault of a superior enemy. As they retreat to Defensive Line Delta, Hans witnesses the true horrors of war—men torn apart by artillery, friends lost in the chaos, and commanders who would rather sacrifice them than admit defeat. Meanwhile, his nightmares grow more vivid, whispering of an inevitable reckoning. With the Wilmenians closing in and the war turning against them, Hans must make a choice: remain loyal to a doomed empire or carve his own path before it's too late. But in a world where survival is fleeting and betrayal is everywhere, the greatest enemy may not be across the battlefield—it may be the very nation he swore to protect.

The story takes place in a medieval fantasy world divided into two continents: - **Midegarde**: Inhabited with humans, elves, dwarves, dragonkins, Amazons and phoenixians, living in fragile peace despite racial and political tensions. **The Demon Continent**: Domain of Demons, a power-hungry race that thrives in destruction and strengthens itself by devouring the mana and flesh of their enemies. Fifty years ago, a devastating war - the **War of the Tears of Fire** - pitted the two continents against each other. Midegarde's allied armies repelled the demons thanks to the sacrifice of a dragonkin general, Kael Drakenfeu, who sealed a demonic portal at the cost of his life. Since then, four **Floating Fortress** have been built to protect Midegarde from demonic invasions.

The world ended, but humanity refused to die. Trapped within colossal fortresses known as Bastions, the remnants of civilization cling to survival while the outside world—the Endless Hollow—devours all who enter. Dain Evernight was born in the lowest slums of Bastion Blackreach, where the weak are discarded and the strong serve as fodder for the powerful. Accused of a crime he didn’t commit, he is exiled into the Hollow, left to die amidst the monsters and nightmarish landscapes. But Dain refuses to accept death. Amidst the darkness, he awakens something impossible—a Hollow Spark that allows him to steal and assimilate the abilities of fallen creatures. However, this power comes at a terrible cost: with each ability taken, his mind and body inch closer to corruption. In a world where strength is everything, Dain must navigate ruthless factions, eldritch horrors, and ancient secrets buried deep within the Hollow. He isn’t the chosen one, nor does he have a destiny. But if the world wants him dead, he’ll claw his way up, one stolen power at a time. Even if it means becoming a monster himself.
