Ten thousand years ago, the sky shattered, the earth bled, and reality screamed. Gods and awakeners clashed against horrors that should not exist—things that twisted minds, devoured souls, and laughed at the concept of death. The world did not win. It survived. The Veil Barrier was forged, sealing away the nightmares at an unfathomable cost. Time passed. The world forgot. But the barrier is rotting. Cracks spread. Whispers crawl. Monsters pour through, dragging something far worse behind them. And in the midst of it all, something else stirs. Not a hero. Not a villain. Not a god. A being that should not exist. One even the horrors feared. The world thinks it won the war. It was wrong.

I always believed that people are divided into two categories. Those who live in their hearts - laugh, cry, love, make mistakes, are not afraid to feel. And those who live by mind - cold, prudent, hiding emotions so deeply that it seems that they have no at all. I always belonged to the first. And he - to those who never allowed themselves too much.

**"Leave me alone! Please, just let me go!"** My voice cracked as I thrashed in his iron grip, but it was useless. He scooped me up effortlessly, his hold unyielding, carrying me off to a fate I couldn’t escape. This can’t be happening. Not now. Not like this. "I don’t want this," I whispered, my voice raw with terror. "Please… just let me go." My pleas barely reached his ears, or if they did, he didn’t care. His silence was louder than any threat, his indifference a dagger to my chest. A heartbeat later, my body hit the softness of a king-sized bed, but there was no comfort in it. My tears had nearly dried, leaving only silent sobs wracking my frame. I forced myself to speak, desperation lacing every syllable. "Luciano, please," I choked out. "If I’ve wronged you in any way, I’m sorry. But don’t punish me like this." A deafening crack split the air, and before I could react, fire exploded across my cheek. The force of the slap sent my head whipping to the side, my skin stinging from the brutal contact. The room pulsed with danger. **"No one calls me by my name,"** he growled, his voice like crushed glass—sharp, merciless. **"And no one tells me what to do."** His fingers curled under my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. Cold, dark, and bottomless, his eyes held no mercy, no hesitation. "You will warm my bed," he murmured, his voice dangerously soft, laced with cruel intent. "You will satisfy my every craving, no matter how disastrous, no matter how dark." A wicked smirk ghosted over his lips, his grip tightening. "Because you are mine to break. And no one stops me." He leaned in, his breath fanning against my trembling lips. "Now… come here." --- Story by white pheonix

Thousands of years ago humanity faced the worst nuclear war ever in history, which resulted in tragic genetic changes in the future generations which eventually divided the world’s population into two major categories named the Nobles and Needies. Both appeared to be normal humans in appearance, but Nobles became the rulers, having main power over all essential matters of the world including banking, media, entertainment, military, ways of communications and other political, social, cultural and financial matters, while the Needies were just the ordinary workers in factories and mansions owned by Nobles. Not only that, Nobles were engaged in barbaric yet apparently royal traditions of hunting and torturing the Needies, more specifically on their Saturday’s parties to satisfy both their unfulfilled hunger and to pay tribute and thankfulness to the God for creating them superiors. In such brutal reality, there rises a rebellious child named Keith Janes who, despite being among the Nobles, takes the most eminent stand against their barbarism and other sadistic desires with the use of his higher IQ than others.

What if every awkward compliment, every desperate act of "niceness," and every cringe-worthy attempt to impress a girl could make you… stronger? For Kim Jeon Il, the world’s most delusional "nice guy," this nightmare (or dream?) just became reality. Kim Jeon Il’s life as a 17-year-old simp was painfully ordinary—until a glitchy app called [RISE OF THE SIMP] hijacked his phone.

Whis, a programmer obsessed with legacy, thought he'd finally cracked the code, the key to unlocking a new world and etching his name into the annals of history. Instead, he's crash-landed headfirst into a savage land of cultivation and warrior women, a world far more chaotic and dangerous than any algorithm he could have conceived.

The clock is ticking, the danger is rising with every passing moment, and still no system... will he survive long enough for it to finally appear, or will he become just another footnote in the brutal history of this strange, new world?

So to begin, this is technically a skyrim fanfic. Why isn't it in the fan-fics then? Simple! It's based on a game and I don't feel that counts as a fan-fic. Second, I've read like a few skyrim stories here lately. I liked them, as a bethesda fan boy... Well, now I need to take a crack at it. I literally start a new game of skyrim every new year. Its my tradition, so I felt I had to do this. If its bad, ah well. If its good, GREAT! Overall though, I feel we need more skyrim based stories or fan-fics. It has the perfect setting for the transmigration genre. Now read at your own risk.

November 17th. A day that should have been ordinary became the day the world fell apart. The Collapse—a disaster unlike any other—destroyed over 80% of the population in a single stroke. Entire cities were reduced to ruins, the rules of nature were rewritten, and strange, otherworldly forces began to seep into the cracks of reality.

But when despair threatens to crush even that, he must grapple with the question: How does a man hold on to hope in a world that seems designed to take it away? The Collapse didn’t just destroy the world—it created a new one. And surviving it will demand more than Silas ever thought he could give.
