Gargantuan Squiggoth

Eternal Cleansing Region, somewhere in the Aries Kingdom, midnight “Ohmmm~~~!” The sound of chanting was heard as pebbles jumped, buildings vibrated, and the ground shook. In a huge church, many figures in dark red robes were on their knees surrounding an altar, seemingly praying to a god. There were thousands upon thousands of figures, all chanting the same thing. The gargantuan church had very tall windows, with which housed stained glass. The church was very caliginous, only having the soft light of the moon to illuminate things through those windows. If one gazed up, a mural could be discerned within a cupola. It illustrated a devil lingering above the land, with which figures with red eyes stood; then, a huge sun encroaching upon the territory of that devil, and burning all that was. Afterward, the mural showed a few survivors, on their knees, worshiping what appeared to be a god floating in the air as the surrounding lands burned to ash. The robed figures surrounded an altar upon which stood an imposing golden statue of a muscular man, in nothing but a toga, holding out his hand. In his hand, burned a powerful flame. If one were to observe this statue, they would immediately notice the beautiful orange sapphire the size of one’s hand. This statue was six stories tall, reaching just below the cupola. “Ohmmm~~~!” everything shook once again due to the sheer power of those figures’ unified voices. All of the figures began to glow a soft reddish-orange holy light, reminiscent of the sun. The light began to get brighter, gradually overtaking the gentle light of the moon. On the altar, in the center, directly below the cupola, was another silhouette. This silhouette stood with its hands held out, radiating an even greater light than those below. “Ohmmm~~~!” the statue’s eyes began to shine a similar light. Moments later, the light from the robed figures began to wane, as if the statue was absorbing it. The silhouette below the statue, however, started glowing even brighter. Seconds passed. Seconds turned into minutes, and minutes, into hours. As every second ticked by, robed figures collapsed one after the other, their state unknown. The statue’s eyes were getting brighter as each fell. After seemingly an eternity, the silhouette’s light began to flicker out of existence. Just before it blinked out of the world, the statue’s eyes flared up, and the world seemingly stopped. The silhouette’s eyes began to match those of the statue. Suddenly, a deep, monotone voice escaped from the shadowy figure, “The boy with the Shadow Dragon Bloodline. Find him. Kill him. Wipe his whole lineage from the face of this region!” it boomed throughout the church, escaping through the walls as if they were illusory. People all throughout the region began to look in the direction of the church in response to some profound power. As the figure on the altar was speaking, cracks ,glowing the same color as the statue, began to appear around its body. As soon as the silhouette stopped speaking, it collapsed and the statue’s radiant glow began to fade. “Ohmmm~~~!” echoed out once more.

The Hollowing came like a thief in the dead of the night - silent, merciless, and absolute. It was an event that permanently scarred humanity’s history, stealing along all of the possibility, wonder and hope that this world once had - for it was the year that the spark of wonder had been wretched from existence, the year that magic had died. But many soon came to realise that the Hollowing was not the end but the beginning. Cracks opened around the world, bringing about the descent of the Dark fog, and along with it, a dread unbound by mortal thought which devoured the weak and hunted those who still clung too closely to the memory of magic. Year 3999. 1800 years after the Hollowing, humanity has been pushed to live inside the walls of Domes: monolithic walls, encasing gargantuan swaths of land protected by an ancient being from the era of magic, the Acacia. Yet, the peace that it brought was like a festering wound, throbbing with unresolved mysteries and bringing about feelings of hatred and fear, of that day 1800 years ago when one decided to break an oath. As tensions beneath the surface simmer and an unknown group threatens to sink humanity down once and for all, a meeting that would change the fate of a young boy - one that had the potential to shake both sides, one that would bring about change to the whole continent of Paradoxia - was about to take place. The meeting of disciple and master. It was at that moment that the goddess of fate began to spin her wheel to weave tales for this forgotten world once more.

A special strain of parasite has spread on the planet of Andora, endangering the lives of billions of people. The global leaders immediately put up a resistance to fight these harbingers of death, but they later found out that the parasites were more resilient than they had thought. Panic spread around the world with the sudden emergence of this new type of parasite. The medicines concocted by the best researchers on the planet proved to be ineffective against them. There was no cure and the only way to remove them was to eliminate the infected host. It was then that the killing began. *** Jacob was just an ordinary salaryman who was struggling in the society. He has no lofty ambitions or gargantuan plans. However, when the viral infection spread all over the planet, his life took a dramatic turn.

Like ready-made memories of the establishment were just placed inside our heads. It was like humanity woke up one day, and the Tower was just there, waiting to be explored.

[This is a power fantasy smut novel] The continent lost to time is wild and untamed, stretching beyond the horizon. Gargantuan and tiny, harmless and deadly, lifeforms of all shapes and sizes prowl these vast, fertile lands. The budding human race has only just taken its first steps. Humans brave the harsh elements, navigate treacherous terrain, and encounter fierce beasts in their savage lives. They band together to survive, but sometimes, that is still not enough to prevent calamity. As humanity struggles to survive, one human has awakened his potential. The world is changing and he will be the one to lead humanity out of the dawn of the Primitive Age. WARNING Story content NOT suitable for those below age 18. There will be gratuitous sexual content. PREFACE My original intent in this story was to establish a setting that would allow me to explore my degenerate fantasies. This means that a lot of the content will be pure smut and less focus will be on the plot. I wasn't planning on crafting some suspenseful, complex plot so I hope you won't mind if the story becomes a bit contrived. If you were expecting an epic tale of discovery, battles, growth, and introspection, then you should look elsewhere since all of that will take a backseat to the smut. That doesn't mean there won't be any of that content, it just won't occur as frequently or with the most originality. The novel is still a power fantasy, but without a power system. My ambitious plan is that the MC will be the pioneer of a new power system and usher in the birth of human civilization. Since the focus is on the smut (especially the forbidden type), I just want to warn you that I may tread into territory that you may find uncomfortable. Sorry about that, but this is what I'm offering. If you don't like it, don't read it. I acknowledge that my mind is filled with filth, but I want to assert that my writing is pure fantasy that I enjoy indulging in my imagination. As you know, things that are forbidden are the most enticing. This concept fuels my horny imagination which eventually resulted in this story, but I would never condone any of the taboo acts in real life. My work is pure fiction and is only meant as entertainment. Do not attempt at home, kids! Despite that, I have confidence in my writing so at the very least it won't be terrible to read. It's just that with my busy schedule IRL (I work and go to school), I can't promise a consistent update schedule so be prepared to wait. I should also mention that the story pacing won't be all that fast. There may be some time skips when I feel they are necessary. I like to focus more detail on characterization so that the sexy parts have an added emotional weight to them. So, if you feel the story is slow, then you're right, because it will be. Slice-of-life enjoyers rejoice! TAGS Clan/Family Building, Incest, Smut, Cultivation/Magic Development, Technological Development No NTR except for Netori DISCORD https://discord.gg/B5T9bK9548

If there’s one thing we’ve learned about Sylvester Stallone’s character from the first looks and trailers coming out for his upcoming Paramount+ series, Tulsa King, it’s that he’s not messing around. In a new teaser released to the show’s Twitter account, it’s clear that things are serious … very serious. The series will follow Stallone’s Dwight “The General” Manfredi after he’s been shipped off to Tulsa by the leader of his mafia family. Before embarking on his new adventure, Manfredi is made aware that the family will no longer be backing him, leading the longtime mafioso to set up a crew of his own. Although it’s less than one minute, the clip reveals The General is making his way to Tulsa, Oklahoma after doing a 25-year stint behind bars. Packed with the typical action sequences you’d expect from a Stallone-led production, with well-choreographed fight scenes and quotable one-liners around every corner, we see the outsider try his best to fit in, but ultimately stick out in style, attitude, and accent. Set to crash onto the streamer on November 13, Stallone will appear next to a killer lineup of talent that includes the likes of Martin Starr (Silicon Valley), Vincent Piazza (Boardwalk Empire), Andrea Savage (I’m Sorry), Domenick Lobardozzi (The Irishman), A.C. Peterson (Superman & Lois), Max Casella (The Tender Bar), Jay Will (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Garrett Hedlund (The United States vs. Billie Holiday), and Dana Delany (Body of Proof).Sylvester Stallone's 'Tulsa King' Wraps Production Along with the A-list call sheet, the project has some equally gargantuan names backing it. Yellowstone co-creator and Academy Award nominee Taylor Sheridan adds Tulsa King to his list of projects created for Paramount+. Along with the already dropped Yellowstone prequel 1883 and Mayor of Kingstown, the triple threat has several projects en route to viewers including Lioness, 1883: The Bass Reeves Story, Land Man, and 1932. Emmy Award winner Terence Winter, who backed both The Sopranos and The Wolf of Wall Street, will serve the series as its showrunner and writer. Along with their already huge credits for the series, Stallone, Sheridan, and Winter will also serve on the executive production team alongside David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, David Hutkin, Allen Coulter, and Braden Aftergood. MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios serve as producers. With the latest teaser in the books, we’re one step closer to seeing Stallone’s Manfredi splitting skulls all over the city of Tulsa while he builds a family of his own. Check out the clip below.

In this universe, there are relics of the war from the ancient era everywhere. Countless carcasses of gargantuan beasts in all different forms are scattered around the galaxies.

Dwight Hock is a 35-year-old video game addict who is about to start a new file on one of the world’s most popular video games: ULife, a revolutionary virtual-reality world where players can be anything that they dream of. People can change genders, the handicapped can walk again as towering bodybuilders, and furries can be the anthropomorphic animals that they’ve always wanted to be. Dwight, a reclusive virgin who is obsessed with pornography and views women as nothing more than sex objects, naturally designs his new ULife character as a young woman with gargantuan, beachball-sized breasts with the intention of fondling himself in game for his own pleasure. Upon entering the new world however, the perverted man finds a few things out of place: for one, he can smell, taste, and feel everything in the game as if it were real, and on top of that- he can feel the weight of the enormous breasts that he gave his female character!

Humanity as a civilization and species has come very far compared to the time they only inhabited a single planet. The reason? Humanity has long since been completely integrated into the Intergalactic Society (IGS), hundreds of thousands of years ago to not be exact. Over this long stretch of time, technology and society continued to develop, with its ups and downs, until in the cycle 745 of the IGS Universe Calendar, where the Universe finally reached the necessary ether density to awaken a bringer of extraordinary changes, the Ether Law. Amidst the gargantuan IGS spanning tens of galaxies, Rune is only a good-standing galactic citizen living a peaceful life on a rural planet with his family. And when the previously unimaginable changes start to happen, his heart tells him it was something he had waited for, for a long time. *** My first serious attempt at being a webnovel writer. It ended up being relatively successful Ultimately though, objectively, I was too ambitious and didn't have enough experience to start with this story. If you want to read because you really ran out of other novels, you better brace yourself for dozens of chapters where I struggle before it becomes more exciting. *** Chapters: Around 3 000 words each. Update: It's dropped duh~ Of course the title isn't miswritten~ It's Etherial, not Ethereal. A serial killer, not a sereal killer. It's controversial, not controverseal. Quintessential, not quintessenteal.

Nothingness is the norm, a place where time is inexistent and which space cannot reach, this is the void, yet this is where the chaos that created the cosmos and the countless star planes originated from. Besides the true powerful beings who can traverse and survive in the void the only presence are void beasts, gargantuan life forms with virtually no consciousness born one every several universal cycles. They feed themselves with the essence of the vast all encompassing nothing that surrounds them and roam around meaninglessly for their eternal-like lifespan. Now it is that time again… essence is converging, something new is about to originate in this corrosive vastness, a miracle and mystery of the cosmos, through illogical means and mockingly impossible fate a thought came to be, it developed individuality and narcissistically deemed itself to be the EXISTENCE. This is the record of said being towards the cultivation and sublimation of its megalomaniacal e- cough* self.

And realized he couldn't see himself. He didn't even seem to be able to move forward or backward. He felt like someone was watching him. As he looked around, he suddenly saw a gargantuan head, with its huge mouth that was easily the size of a football stadium opened. "You are my final resort... I leave this world in your hands and my power in your friends... Goodbye." A voice resounded through the abyss. 'Who! Help! Who are you!' Bramson tried frantically to yell at the voice, but try as he might he could not speak. Slowly, his thoughts started to fade, his vision dimmed, and his consciousness left him.

"Let me love this mess you are For it is mine, for I've bathed For I have relished your care And yet months later things getting strained..... You're not capable of such frost Nor so harsh no matter the cost We aren't strangers haven't become too The other part of the world, without you.. things to do This won't calm and its not meant to be Not good with words as you can see This a rough patch, priorities shift But it doesn't change "You're a gift" I might shout I might be daft But I'll take you alone on a raft To beyond, beyond problems beyond glances Where problems dissipate, where happiness prances I don't have to bribe for your smile It hurts thinking it's been a while Time alludes, expectations mount Duty promises I'm bound. Yet times I hope I can spend on my own Overlooking life, this hell I've been thrown Be there beside me is all I can ask Not easy Not petty a gargantuan task Please be beside me,for the times are tough like old wine If I tug on your heartstrings would you strum on mine?
