Rimworld Monolith

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. After what seemed like forever, we awoke in a different world: here."

Jon is a fairly intelligent, ordinary high schooler who loves physical and mental challenges, but only if they’re in the form of games.

Why is he here? What is his goal? What is a “monolith”?

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. I want this to be my best novel, so I am shelving it as I work on other projects to improve my writing.

It is the diary of Tempest and Kitsuna. who crashed on a Rimworld and took it upon themselves to record their experience in a book for anyone unfortunate enough to encounter it.

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.

At least 7 chapters a week SNEAK PEAK OF NOVEL —————————————————— A stream of fire caused the large Black Bear to rear backwards onto its hindlegs. A roar echoed throughout the forest as its motion turned from standing 3 meters tall to less than a third of that as it forced itself into a roll on the ground. The massive bear was counter attacking a leopard that hung on its back with its claws dug into its thick fur. The leopard lept from the back of the bear before its monolithic magnitude could crush it in its deadly revolution of weight. The bear noticed that its attacker had evaded its assault and discontinued its roll but it was too late. The jet of fire was back on the bear and its roar had no effect against the constant stream of sweltering inferno. In fact opening its mouth to thunder against the flame only worked against the bear as it only allowed for the blaze to push its way down its throat. With the sizzling of flesh and the purr of a walking leopard carcass a man stood over the now deceased mammal. That man was of course our main character Kroft! With a glance at the remains of the burnt black bear Kroft extended his hand and uttered a single word. “Ayo.” A purple mist unwrapped itself from Krofts extended fingertips and traversed its way throughout the air onto the bear. A much needed UMP made its way into the body of the Black Bear and without a spark of life he arose from his eternal slumber. The bear raised itself from the ground and bowed its head to its new master and emitted a low growl in order to proclaim its respect for Kroft. “Alrighty then, nice to have ya aboard..” Kroft responded.

(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.

It was a massacre. From the start, they were already doomed. Unlike the other monolith gates that opened to the world of the monsters, this monolith opened the gate to hell and the devils were waiting for them on the other side. Eight hundred people went inside the gate like lambs going into a slaughterhouse. Levi sat in the middle of his comrades' corpses — his headless comrade's corpses. Thick, fresh, red blood and bits of flesh covered his whole body. His black hair was matted to his head from the blood. He stared blankly at the surreal scene in front of him. The devils were bashing scalped human heads into a bed of jagged rocks, cracking the skulls open and slurping the brains. Thuck! Thuck! Crack! Slurrrrppph! Their bloodied claw-like hands cradled those cracked human heads carefully like some delicacies. Some of them chewed the eyeballs noisily. Thuck! Crack! Sluurrrrppph! These devils were two metres tall, there's no way Levi could tackle one of these monstrous creatures, let one fight ten of them at the same time. He was only a porter in this expedition, not a soldier. With dark greenish skin that had small spikes all over their shoulders, wide large mouth and rows of long sharp teeth, these creatures could kill his entire team in under one minute. They wore skull-like ivory helmets that covered half of their face, thick sharp elk like horns were adorning those helmets. Some of them even wore armors. Thuck! Thuck! Chew! Chew! Chew! The smell of blood was nauseating but Levi couldn't move from his place anyway, if he moved just a little, the clicking sound from his exoskeleton armor would attract those devils instantly. But he would die if he didn't run away. For the first time in his life, Levi realized how weak humans really were, and how frighteningly easy it was to lose the life he barely grasped. *** Basingr, the tyrant Emperor of Volkarians, met his end after his own people betrayed him. Filled with hatred and resentment, part of his soul was trapped in his ring and his prized severus sword that he threw away before he took his last breath. He swore he would be back and had his revenge. He did go back, just not in the situation he expected. *** When Levi ran from the Volkarians he knew that's the end of his life. But Levi got a second chance he didn't expect. Together they would bring a change to both worlds. Either destruction or salvation, we didn't know yet. *All Hail Basingr!*
