Rimworld Monolith

Kael Drayven, an exiled dragonborn prince, was cast out of his kingdom after being falsely accused of assassinating his father, the mighty Dragon King. Branded a traitor, he flees into the wilderness, wounded and alone. With no home, no allies, and no future, Kael stumbles upon a place that should not exist—the Forgotten Tower, an ancient, shifting monolith that only appears to those erased from history. Within its depths, he faces deadly trials designed to break both body and spirit. Battling relentless undead warriors, Kael discovers a mysterious relic sword that grants him immense power—but at a cost he doesn’t yet understand. As he ascends the tower, he encounters others who are bound to its trials, including the enigmatic warrior Stormreaper, the brilliant scholar Seren, and a rogue whose only power is an impossible level of luck. But the Forgotten Tower is more than just a prison—it is a crucible, shaping those who survive. Each trial reveals lost secrets of the past, testing Kael’s strength, intelligence, and will to survive. And as he unravels the mysteries hidden within its walls, he begins to question the truth behind his exile. What really happened to the Dragon King? Why was Kael chosen by the tower? And if he survives its final trial… will he still be the same person who entered? With deadly enemies, forgotten relics, and a war looming beyond the tower’s walls, Kael must rise from exile and reclaim his fate. For only by ascending will he learn the truth—and take the first step toward his destiny.

Front Page is "KHALLYON CRAVEMENEER - CADET DICK-69". The world is dangerous, yet, there is beauty in the chaos if you learn how to appreciate it. The "Imperishable", Entities Above Everything Else, understood this undeniable truth eons ago, gifting to the Mortals a few tools to overcome the challenges across our lives. With this, amusing their boring existences, looking with enthusiasm what new story could unfold, or if the same mistakes would be done once again but by a different person. The First Gift, is "Shards", called "Cards" by some, this otorgue instant rewards when you exchange them in an "Imperishable Monolith". The Second Gift, is the mentioned structure, capable of craft almost anything if you have the recipe, blueprint and the required materials and ingredients, a true aberration depending on who you ask. The Third Gift, is the "Perennence", with a 100 you won't Die if you are slain, you simply would "Respawn" in a "Memory Hall", making you partially Immortal, because as long as you have 1 of Perennence, you wouldn't be really dead, and someone else can "Revive" you by providing the missing resource; However, this comes with a drawback, you become a "Servant" of the person or thing that save your life, at least until you repay the Perennence plus an Interest of 50%. The Fourth Gift, is "The Memory Hall", unfortunately, they had an evil twin, "The Howling Wall", which are created in places that had seen too many "Take Downs" in a short span of time; Differently to the prodigal twin, you must have a minimum of 25 Perennence to be Respawned, otherwise, at best, you become an Immaterial entity, similar to a ghost, if not, a mindless beast or a simple Drone for a Hive Mind is not far fetched. Lastly, The Fifth Gift, is divided in three concepts, "Repercussion", "Traits" and "Work", being the last, one of the most unfair of all the Gifts, as you can't change your Work under any circumstances, which applies even for "The Imperishable". But the Gifts don't come for free, as they attract a series of weird creatures from unknown territories, sprouting the so called "Graveyards", "Factories", "Hives", "Nests", "Lairs", "Crops" and "Farms" across the entire world of "Leathemnur". NO CHEATS NO PLOT ARMOR NO VANILLA EASY LIFE DON'T GET FOOLED BY THE START A FAIR SHARE OF: ACTION BEAUTIES MYSTERIES A WHOLE LOT OF: SMUT BONDING INDECENCY COMMENT FOR: KINKS DOUBTS SUGGESTIONS Additional Information: I would try and publish TWO or even THREE Chapters a Day, and FOUR up to SEVEN Chapters on Sundays, depending on my schedule.

The boredom of mortals leads to simple consequences, but what chaos could the boredom of a powerful being unleash? When forces dare to tamper with destiny, disrupt order, and strip all beings of their fundamental rights, will they succeed? Or will the restless curiosity of one particular entity stand in their way? In the endless Void, a tower emerges—a monolithic structure said to grant unimaginable power to those bold enough to climb it. Each floor tests the strength, intellect, and resolve of those who enter, pushing them to their limits and beyond. "Tell me, mortals," speaks the enigmatic voice that echoes through the tower, "what role will you play in this grand festival of ambition?" As they ascend, the challengers must confront the price of their desires. Will they rise to greatness or succumb to the impossible trials ahead? And what of the entity watching from above—are they merely an observer, or the one pulling the strings? The tower calls. The festival begins. Dare to climb?

The skies are an endless maze of gray. Heavy, foreboding. It's somber monotony casted it's mundane color thoughout the streets of Hermapolis, so shadowed in gray that it's people have objected the outside; accepting the indoors as their haven.  So foreboding, great, and powerful. The city's monolith stands; observing the streets and people. So towering that it remains the only building that touched the clouds. So brutally gray, yet so beautifully honest. Inside, the Red Circle, creeps within. The only government governing Hermapolis. So absolute and dominating, yet so mysterious and ghostly. "Each street is controlled by the Circle, for the Circle. Each man works for the Circle, from the Circle. Yet, so shadowy, they appear so infrequent, so ghastly transparent. That even I doubt the Circle's existance." --- A dystopian novel.

As factions form, seeking to uncover these mysteries or harness their power, nightmarish visions haunt certain individuals, hinting that they are inexplicably tied to these events by fate. Jin Kang Soo, an ordinary man plagued by disturbing dreams, finds himself entangled in a conspiracy beyond anything he could have imagined. Amid survival, exploration, and a quest for truth, he must confront his own demons in a world where the line between reality and the supernatural blurs. ⚔️ WARNING ⚔️ This story contains scenes that may offend sensitive souls.

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.

Jared stood before the towering presence of the Hexeka Police Department, a silent monolith standing tall amongst the city. Shadows of the late evening had begun to creep across the sky, casting the city in a deep shade of red. The lone figure of the wolf slowly walked up to the entrance, trying to shove down the mixture of anxiety and excitement that had begun to rise within him. Little did he know the secrets this one interview would uncover.

An awoken guardian, devoid of the light, wonders the endless Divalian mists in the Dreaming City. Drifting for what seems like an eternity. Until they come across an obsidian Monolith. The Monolith seems blighted, yet the Young Guardian insists on the touch of the grand monument. There. In that moment, all their feelings were drained, in that very moment, that very still moment, absent of emotion. She had come for them. They awake in a cave, the monolith in plain sight, though some distance away, the mist slowly dissipating. The blurred light beckoning their eyes to open. She stands before them now, in all her malevolent glory. Savathûn, the Witch Queen.

Anastasia Wright - or Stacey, as she prefers to be called, finds a black monolith covered in alien writing within the overgrown park near her house. Touching it causes her to become stranded in another world which is a cultural melting pot where humanity is under threat by the local people who call themselves the Ancients. Battles with the Ancients and their beastmen henchmen are common. Kidnapping and violence are the norm despite what appears to be a peaceful civilisation on the surface. With no money, no local knowledge and an inability to communicate or read the national tongue, Stacey struggles to survive. Worse, she's accidentally offended the entire country on national television. All Stacey wants is to go back home but the question is - how? When she comes across a man who is powerful and influential in both worlds, whom also has the ability to return her to her own world, Stacey asks for help. Thieren Huo agrees to help - it's just not the kind of help Stacey was hoping for... Not a romance story although some romantic themes will be involved. Contains some violence and mature themes. Parental guidance recommended. This is a pantser story. Reader suggestions and ideas encouraged for further story development. Reader assistance for editing and advice welcome. Self-editing does not catch all errors. Warning, there may be plot holes. Let me know if you find one so that the holes can be patched where possible. This is a pantser, after all. This story is going to be rewritten. I'm not happy with it. There may be huge changes to to the storyline and plot.

[Notice: Before you delve in, this is a book with a super-strong, Overpowered MC. But his domineering powers and tendencies will surface at later chapters with understandably good reasons for them. So, if you like all-conquering, dominating MCs, you can jump right in.] — When Hilgamech was twelve, he was told that his destiny was to protect the Sea of Worlds that made up the realmverse and the large numbers of races living in them, as they felt he was chosen by the Realmverse because he had a peerless and unique Body Constitution. Born with vast and astonishing godly abilities, he is now in a race against time to reach the apex stage of cultivation called: 'Guardian of Sea of Life' or 'Master of Realms', a stage where he would possess the absolute power to defend the Realmverse from enormous, overwhelming armies of tremendously powerful Alien beings; strange humanoid lifeforms that practice their own unique form of cultivation and whose sole intent is to maraud Realmverse and enslave all inhabitants in them. But this cultivation stage is impossible to attain as he must comprehend and cultivate the ultimate energy called 'Genesis Realmforce Energy', an energy that would result from the fusion of hundreds of Originforce energies. Although the 'Master of Realms' cultivation stage is an impossible stage to reach, Hilgamech would try to attain it by seeking for the lost 'Supreme Library System', which would infuse his memory with the complete comprehension of the mysteries of Originforce energies, and the hidden 'Great Gene System' that would inject his already-powerful divinely blood with the primordial, domineering genes of extinct, monolithic ancient races whenever he accomplishes insanely difficult tasks set by the godly, primeval creators of the systems. Also, he would seek for the 'Ancestral Beast Evocation System' that would produce mutated or evolved copies of extinct primordial beasts that once existed countless eons of years ago. Then he would try to augment his damaging power to unparalleled degrees by seeking for Vanta Neo-Weapons; Treasure-weapons of tremendous, apocalyptic-level devastating power which belonged to dead, ancient divine experts that birthed the four forms of cultivation—Energy, Body, Soul, and Bloodline. But, would he be able to discover the Supreme Library System and the Great Gene System to gain new powerful abilities? The Ancestral Beast Evocation System to summon massively more powerful, evolved versions of extinct, enormous-planet-sized, havoc-wreaking transcendent abyssal creatures of domination to aid him in far-future deadly battles? And lastly, Vanta Neo-Weapons to vastly increase his overall destructive power? Would he able to achieve all these before the next, full invasion of his Realmverse? Or would he grow to become very powerful that he would then invade other Realmverses and become their hegemon? To know more, journey with our stunning hero, Hilgamech, as he begins to conquer known and unknown realms and dimensions, and unifies entire massive kingdoms and unprecedented, large territories inhabited by grand and fearsome, phenomena-invoking beings with the help of the 'World Domination Ultimate Support System' and 'Realm Conquering Champion Warrior System.' *** N.B: This story beautifully and seamlessly intertwines the following: action—entertaining epic battles, numerous dangerous and exciting adventures, cultivation of various forms which include Energy, Soul, Body and Bloodline. It also includes romance, powerful beasts and monster pets collection, and lastly, myriad, super-strong non-human races. — PS: This novel is set in a fantasy/quasi-technological universe. So anything that happens in this fantasy-genre story cannot be defined by logic or by the laws of our planet, Earth. [If you like brave, ruthless, calculative, and intelligent MCs, this novel is for you. Thanks for adding and reading.]

"I remember it clearly. These giant crystal structures - monoliths - descended from the sky at night. Everyone was left in awe and wonder. It was a beautiful sight as the moonlight reflected fractals of a myriad colours off of them. However, once they stopped descended, the world started to fade into mist, us too.

Jon is a fairly intelligent, ordinary high schooler who loves physical and mental challenges, but only if they’re in the form of games. One day, it seems like the world suddenly ends; he and his best friend are taken to a new world by a mysterious white light after school. How is this world different? Who is watching him?

Unravel the mysteries of this new world alongside the main character, as well as truths about him and his family. What can you determine? This is an isekai written by me. Inspired by a wide variety of isekai stories. Why did I decide to write this? First of all, I'm just an ordinary person. Before writing this, I had no experience in creative writing at all. I am also an isekai fanatic. I have read and/or watched a multitude of isekais, and some of them are bad. Like, really bad (see Conception and Master of Ragnarok)... I knew for a fact that I could write a better story than those. If those could get animes, why not try to write my own? I also wanted to create a world that the reader can explore. This concept is heavily inspired by Overlord, my favorite series of all time. Although the quality is nowhere near as good, I wanted to create an experience similar to that of reading Overlord for the first time and picking apart the world. I hope I am doing a decent job.

The day was relatively calm and silent, making it gorgeous and tranquil. The inhabitants that resided in this aloof and serene world were going through the day like usual... Until the heavens fell. It all changed when lustrous and radiant lights fell from the ocean-like heavens like shooting stars treading through the azure skies. The falling radiance lightened the entire day for a single moment before making their landing on the earth. And upon crashing into the ground of the earth below the heavens, they brought city-wide destruction in their wake. Mushroom clouds emerged, followed by shockwaves that broke everything in its path. The heat of the fall vaporized anything below the radiance. And outside of the heat was nothing more but a wasteland of a former beautiful world. Thousands of such things fell into the cities of all nations worldwide. Nothing was left behind, resulting in the inevitable fall of humanity. Left behind by the disastrous landings of the gleaming lights was a pitch-black monolith and abominations resembling that of monsters from the abyss. It was the beginning of a new era. The era of the long-lasting apocalypse. And in this dark age was a young girl, Samara Grimes. She was someone who had to survive through the apocalypse while also leveling up. ――――― [Disclaimer: I do not own the cover of the book. All credits will goes to the creator of the cover.

(Also uploaded on RoyalRoad, this is the first time I'm writing a novel, so any feedback would be appreciated. I'll upload at least 1 chapter every Thursday. If I accidentally write too much then I'll be uploading multiple weekly.) In the aftermath of the cataclysmic event that saw the world besieged by towering monoliths known as the Towers, humanity grapples with the harsh realities of its new existence. Among the survivors is Sebastian Azalith, a young man burdened by tragedy and forged in the crucible of despair. Raised amidst the chaos and destruction wrought by the Towers, Sebastian finds himself adrift in a world devoid of hope and purpose. With the loss of his mother, crushed beneath the weight of the Towers' arrival, and the absence of his father, who vanished without a trace, Sebastian is left to fend for himself in a world turned upside down. Forced into joining Varun Academy, a grim institution on the outskirts of civilization, Sebastian struggles to find his footing in a world that has left him behind. With no one to turn to and nowhere else to go, he reluctantly embarks on a journey of self-discovery and redemption, seeking solace in the only place he has left to call home. As Sebastian grapples with the despair of his shattered world, he discovers a dark and forbidden power within himself—the ability to devour the life force of any living creature. With each life he consumes, Sebastian gains strength and power, his soul tarnished by the darkness that consumes him. Leaving behind the safety of the academy, Sebastian ventures into the Towers, his heart heavy with the weight of his past and the uncertainty of his future. With each floor he conquers, he faces despair and agony, his soul torn asunder by the darkness that surrounds him. But as Sebastian delves deeper into the depths of the Towers, he begins to unravel the mysteries of his past and unlock the true potential that lies dormant within him. With each victory he achieves, he grows stronger, more ruthless, and more determined to defy the odds and carve out his own destiny in a world consumed by darkness. But as Sebastian's power grows, so too does the darkness that threatens to consume him. Haunted by visions of a future shrouded in despair, he must confront the ultimate truth—that the path to power comes with a price, and the line between saviour and destroyer grows ever thinner.
