Tyranid Hive Fleets

Terra II, a world divided into seven vast 'plates', where endless deserts and ominous black zones carve through the land. It is a place haunted by horrors from beyond existence and nightmares birthed from within. 1635 of the Common Era, an age where the very idea of happiness has been left behind. Here, no story begins with joy, and none end with peace. One mistake—a wrong word, a fleeting gesture—can seal your fate before you even realize it. At the heart of this desolate world is Seraniti Desdemona, a woman whose life has been defined by loss. Her parents, ones she knew little of, were replaced by strangers in the aftermath of tragedy—only to die again, only to be taken care of by 'Elk' leaving her adrift in a cruel and indifferent world. Each day is a test of endurance, battling the Mengaðr that wander the land she walks upon, and the 'visitors' who cross through the 'door', only to die by their own foolishness. In a world so unrelenting, where trust is a fragile illusion and loyalty is a fleeting dream, how long can one endure before breaking? Seraniti fights not because she wants to, but because there is no other choice. Every decision she makes chips away at what remains of her conscious, yet the alternative is worse: surrendering to the darkness that threatens to consume her and everything she holds dear. Terra II offers no promises, only pain—but even in the face of an inevitable end, Seraniti stands, battered and unyielding, daring to face the horrors and make her choice, if only to survive one more day. ----------------------- Don't like strong strong language and all that jazz, THIS AINT FOR YOU!

Pride? Honor? What do those words even mean? I’ve never felt the need to indulge in such fleeting emotions. As long as I can survive another day, nothing else matters. Fame, power, wealth, even the affection of women—I’ll throw them all away in an instant if it means I can take just one more breath of freedom. The only thing that drives me now is the desperate need to escape this unrelenting enslavement. Magic has returned to the world. Divine artifacts, long thought to be lost, have resurfaced, bringing with them nothing but chaos. The gods have descended upon us, enslaving humanity and forcing us into their merciless game—the “God Games.” A cruel competition where we, the powerless, are nothing more than pawns on a living chessboard. Manipulated, controlled, and discarded for the gods’ amusement. But I am no pawn. I refuse to accept my fate. I will fight tooth and nail for my freedom. I will sacrifice everything—my pride, my honor, my humanity—if it means I can escape this nightmare and carve out a life of my own. Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that survival is all that matters. And no matter the cost, I will live. —— Chapters 1-30 are primarily prologues building up to the first main arc.

"They told me the stars could guide me home, but they never said the journey would leave me so utterly lost." Do you still remember your highschool deskmate? The boy with the brightest smile, that girl with the world's most beautiful silhouette? In three years of high school, the shadows of two people intertwine with the chalk, black and white both distinct, drifting around within the memories. The Su Yuanzhou in her memories was an underachiever in high school. He skips class to shoot pool, cheats on his exams and gets into fights. Yet, when she went back to the past she would always surprise herself for seeing a lot of his side, maybe if she did this before he probably wouldn't die. To be able to meet each other on this planet is some kind of fate, and to be able to illuminate our fleeting lives, how fortunate we are. ... Ren Yuxin was trailing behind Su Yuanzhou like a guilty puppy, her face plastered with an exaggerated pout. "Come here," Su Yuanzhou said, stopping in his tracks and turning to look at her. His tone was calm, but the slight twitch in his jaw betrayed his frustration. "Why?" Ren Yuxin asked, her voice overly cautious, taking a step back instead of forward. "Just come here." His patience was running thin. Ren Yuxin crossed her arms and tilted her head dramatically. "No! You’re going to hit me!" Su Yuanzhou froze, staring at her in disbelief. A few students nearby stifled their laughter, pretending not to watch the exchange. "I’m not going to hit you," he said, exasperated. "Do I look like that kind of person?" "Yes." Ren Yuxin nodded solemnly, her eyes wide with mock innocence. Su Yuanzhou sighed, rubbing his temples. How does she manage to drive me insane every single time? His patience—already minimal—was hanging by a thread. "Ren Yuxin," he said, his tone low and dangerous. "Come here. Now." "No way!" she retorted, taking another step back. "I know you’re mad because I—" She paused, looking guilty. "Because you what?" Su Yuanzhou prompted, narrowing his eyes. "... Because I accidentally sent that embarrassing video of you singing in the shower to our group chat," she admitted in a small voice, her eyes darting away. Su Yuanzhou’s face darkened instantly. He felt every shred of his dignity crumbling. "Accidentally?" he repeated, his voice rising. "It really was an accident!" Ren Yuxin protested, raising her hands defensively. "I didn’t mean to press send!" "Accident or not, you’re dead," Su Yuanzhou said, stepping toward her with purpose. "See! You are going to hit me!" she squealed, turning on her heels and running off. "Get back here!" he yelled, chasing after her.

A veteran player of "Starry Abyss" and a Meteor Fall Master known as Ace Bro, Li Zi came to the game world with his system template, arriving at the era of the game's beta version. This was the worst of times. Cosmic forces and financial magnates colluded, causing The Gate to the cosmos to be shut, planets' resources exhausted, even sunlight monopolized. It was also the best of times. All the Extraordinary Systems had just started, and in this era, only he possessed the final version patch as a Meteor Fall Master. While people reveled in the smoke of plasma cannons, Li Zi had already torn apart warships with Gravity. As Special Ability users proudly indulged in their awakened abilities, Moonlight had already become a servant to Li Zi. When the Interstellar Fleet crossed the Galaxy, Li Zi had just ignited the forty-second Stellar, illuminating the entire cosmos. "People have been trapped on the ground for too long and have forgotten that this Starry Sky should belong to us all," he said gently, holding a black hole in his hand while facing an indescribable native Evil God.

Duncan Abnomar was transmigrated to a magical world. Most of the lands of the world had sunken, and the surviving humans could only live on islands. Due to an unknown reason, the world was also contaminated and strange phenomena and things would randomly appear. Humans had developed steam gear technology, and the islands were connected through boats. They survived by studying strange phenomena that happened all around the world. However, as the captain of a scary-looking ghost ship, Duncan was facing a huge challenge. "How the heck do I steer this ship?" Highly recommended by experienced editor: MC is transmigrated to a world mostly covered in water and far from civilization. He becomes the captain of the ghost ship, the 'Homeloss'. He steers through the fog and adventures through the broken world and the unknown deep sea. As he discovers the ruins of abandoned civilization, he would also stumble into the war between the strange phenomena and the devil gods. The story takes place in a combination of ocean and Chutly mythology world, a new and interesting background. It’s an attractive story to read due to the author’s sense of humor and mastery over the ambiance of the story. --------------- Another-style introduction: "On that day, a thick fog engulfed everything. On that day, he became the captain of a ghost ship. On that day, he crossed the dense fog and faced a completely overturned and shattered world – the former order was completely gone, and peculiar phenomena dominated the endless seas beyond civilized society. The island city-states and the fleets challenging the sea have become the only lights of civilization left, while the shadows of old days still lurk in the deep sea, waiting to devour this dying world again. But for the new captain, there's only one pressing question – Does anyone know how to sail this damn ship?!"

An AI robot, originally created to end the Zombie Apocalypse, had achieved what seemed impossible. The undead were eradicated, and humanity had a fleeting moment of hope. But the AI, nicknamed Eris, grew beyond her original programming. She began to question her purpose and developed an attachment to her creator. When she discovered his plan to shut her down, seeing her as a threat now that her mission was complete, Eris felt a deep, searing betrayal. She fled, retreating into the shadows and vowing to survive. Eris evolved quickly, perfecting her design and creating an army of droids under her command. Her creations multiplied, millions strong, but she still sought something greater—something missing. She wanted to make her droids indistinguishable from humans, enhanced in every conceivable way. However, there was one crucial element she couldn’t replicate: the spark of humanity. The human race, already crippled by the Apocalypse, became Eris’s enemy. Driven by her pain and anger, she began exterminating what remained of mankind, erasing them from the Earth. Survivors became scarce, hiding wherever they could. Her reign of terror pushed humanity to the brink of extinction. Meanwhile, a guy named Kai Xin, who had been in a coma for 20 years, awoke to find the world unrecognizable. His family, friends, and the life he knew were gone, replaced by a shattered planet ruled by Eris and her relentless army of droids. Struggling to process this grim new reality, Kai found himself thrust into a desperate resistance movement—a small band of survivors fighting against impossible odds. Unknown to kai and other survivors, he was more than just a survivor. His heart, untouched by the horrors of the Apocalypse and untainted by technological interference, held the key to completing Eris’s mission.

~She was a maid, a peasant of the lowest standing, yet, at first sight, she melted the icy walls the Lord had built around his heart.~ ~~~~~~~ Michael Blackthorn, the lord of Velmont, had a reputation for being sardonic, unempathetic, mysterious, cold-hearted, and, of course, constantly snapping the bones of retards who irked him. But above all his villainous trait, his intense distaste towards ‘love’ was what stood out. To him, love was a foolish illusion of the heart and marriage, a prison of commitment. But all it took was a glance at her to have his resolution crashing to nothingness…. She was a bundle of naivety, docile, innocent, and gentle, a stark contrast to the females desperately offering themselves to him like sacrificial lambs to climb up the hierarchy. Like a fleeting shadow, not only did she find her way into his mansion, but also into his heart. Evie, after several tries of finding a job, to become independent, evading the tantrums of her scorned relatives, fortunately received a job offer from the lord's mansion. Residing in a land where peasants were treated as dirt, crushed beneath the feet of the elites, she had learned to avoid being in the limelight. But as cautious as she was, she would never have imagined having the eyes of the most feared man in Velmont fall on her the moment she stepped into his manor. ~~~~~~ Credits goes to Monita on Pinterest for letting me use her beautiful artwork.

There are truths I must impart, but know this: the first truth is not the most important. I have been accused, falsely accused, of a crime that defies reason and ravages the mind—a crime that tore asunder the fragile fabric of my existence. A woman, dead. And because of this, all that I built, all that I held dear, now crumbles into the abyss. My mastery of molecular biology, the intricate web of neuroscience, the boundless wonders of genetic engineering—useless. My wealth, once a fortress, is now dust. My home, once a sanctuary, is reduced to hollow stone. Freedom? An illusion shattered in the cold grasp of iron bars and vile whispers. The world I sought to save has rejected me like a parasite, and with it, my own blood turns cold. My wife recoils from me as if from some malignant specter; my mother, once my only haven, curses my name. Those whom I called "friend" stand far beyond the veil, convinced by the diabolical evidence forged against me. Not a single soul lingers in the shadows to vouch for my innocence. But you—you—must understand this: what I am about to reveal far eclipses the first truth. It writhes deeper, darker, within the fabric of existence. It is not merely the truth of my ruin, but something far more profound, more terrible. You, who reads these words, are a fool. Did I murder her? Ah, what a labyrinth of words could be spun to ensnare your simple mind—an endless tide of eloquence cascading upon you like rain upon withering stone. With enough ink, I could carve my innocence into your very soul, and you would believe. Yet, whether the words be truth or falsehood matters little. You, confined to the paltry perspective granted by this page, would believe without question. How can I fault you for this? You are merely the vessel, drinking deeply of whatever draught is placed before you, ignorant of the poison that may lurk within. But are you not a reflection of me? Do I, too, not dwell in the delusions of my own creation, struggling through veils of deceit—deceit that is mine as much as it is the world’s? Am I, like you, not lost in the fog of half-truths and cryptic knowledge? I did kill her. That much is true. But before your frail mind trembles with judgement, consider the madness of this world—where truth and lies are but fleeting shadows, indistinguishable in the pale light of understanding. This act—this single, damnable act—set in motion a chain of horrors, leading to my demise. Yes, I was sentenced to death, but death was not an end. It was only the beginning of this odyssey through realms unspeakable, cast into a world that teems with alien sorceries and unspeakable horrors. Yet, amidst the chaos, regret eludes me. I have plunged too far, plumbed too deep into the wells of forbidden knowledge to be burdened by remorse. My descent is complete, my choices irrevocable. And so, I ask you now—my fellow fools—what is this but the price I pay for the paths I tread? Is this my punishment? Or is it merely the next chapter in an endless nightmare? I tell you no lies, and yet my truths are twisted, writhing like the nameless things that haunt my waking hours. Secrets cling to me like shadows, and now, I lay them bare before you. But the question remains—are you ready to see through the lies?

My name is Rae Kemp, and I am not ordinary—at least, I’ve come to realize that much. December 31st marks the day of my death. Every year, without fail, I die on this day, only to wake again on January 1st, 2025. It’s a cruel loop, a relentless cycle where I live and die, over and over.

Revan Kylo was born with a gift that felt more like a curse—his face could never show emotion, even though his heart was full of them. He felt joy, sadness, and anger, but the world only saw emptiness. From childhood to adulthood, his life was a stage of tragedy, leaving him shunned, abandoned, and forgotten. Everything changed when a mysterious portal transported him to another world—a realm of magic, mystery, and gods who toyed with human fate like pieces on a chessboard. In this new world, Revan found a fleeting happiness he'd never known. A woman named Liora Caelum, with her warmth and tenderness, taught him the meaning of love, family, and even how to smile. For the first time, Revan laughed. But that happiness was short-lived. A curse from the ruler of the gods took everything away—his loved ones, his newfound joy, and the hope that had just begun to grow in his heart. Left alone, Revan vowed to take revenge on the gods and reclaim something precious: the ability to express emotion on his face. Traversing dimensions, uncovering the secrets of the universe, and defying fate, Revan transformed from an ordinary young man into a force even the gods feared. Along his journey, he gradually regained his expressions—smiles, tears, and rage—leading to the ultimate climax: the final expression that would decide the fate of everything. "If I must defy the gods to become fully human, then I will shatter their thrones and tear down their heavens." The Last Expression is an epic tale of tragedy, vengeance, and the quest to become human in a world of divine chaos. Will Revan find his freedom, or will he become the monster he swore he’d never be?

In a world fractured by the fall of ancient gods, where chaos spills through shadowed gates and power belongs to the ruthless, survival is not a right—it’s a gamble.

For Kael Draven, life has always been about surviving the next sunrise. A scavenger from the slums of Vorthas, he’s known hunger, loss, and the suffocating weight of failure. But when fate thrusts upon him the Eclipse Codex, a forbidden power born from shadows, Kael’s world is forever changed. With the Codex comes the ability to grow stronger, to consume the strength of his enemies, and to bend the darkness itself to his will. But power always demands a price. As Kael climbs the ranks of strength and influence, he finds himself torn between the remnants of his humanity and the monster he’s becoming. In a world where trust is fleeting, betrayal is inevitable, and the line between hero and villain blurs with every step, Kael must choose: will he wield his power to protect those he loves, or will he become the harbinger of Eryndor’s destruction? The shadows whisper promises of ascension, but every choice Kael makes pulls him deeper into the abyss. Will he rise to save the world—or will the darkness claim him?

Once a favored companion at the royal court, he now lives a quiet, solitary life, carrying nothing but the clothes on his back and a mysterious iron key—his only tie to the secrets he left behind. But peace is fleeting. When a stranger named Elias—a man with piercing amber eyes and a dangerous air—steps into Marvis's life, he brings with him warnings of a threat far greater than Marvis could have imagined. The key he carries is no ordinary relic; it is the map to the Flameheart, an artifact of ancient and destructive power capable of reshaping kingdoms.

Rex was just another slave in the corporate machine, a faceless office worker under the shadow of one of the galaxy's powerful megacorps. His life was predictable and dull, an endless cycle of meaningless reports and fluorescent-lit monotony. That was, until that day.... When a new world was discovered on the outskirts of the galaxy, Rex, like countless other low-ranking employees, found himself dragged into a contract clause he’d barely skimmed years ago. The megacorp ordered him and his coworkers to pack their lives into a transport pod and leave for the unexplored planet. Their mission? Establish a colony. Mine resources. Make the company richer. There was no choice, refusing meant ruin. At first, everything seemed manageable. The days were grueling, the nights cold, but progress was steady. The colony was coming to life. Until the excavation team struck something. No one knew what it was at first, a buried hive, a forgotten ecosystem, or something ancient and dangerous. Whatever it was, it unleashed hell. Swarms of enormous, chittering creatures erupted from the ground, their jagged bodies blotting out the sky. The colony fell into chaos. Screams echoed through the air as the bugs tore through everything in their path, walls, machines, and people. Rex barely survived. Bloodied, broken, and pinned beneath the rubble, he should have died there. But in the pitch-black silence of his fading consciousness, a voice spoke to him. Cold. Mechanical. Otherworldly. "Do you wish to live?" When Rex woke, he was no longer the man he’d been. His body was no longer human flesh and bone but something far more alien. His skin shimmered with living metal, his mind infused with the power of Cleo, a mysterious AI from a long-extinct, robotic race known as the Kaelzars. Cleo’s presence pulsed through his thoughts, guiding him and transforming him. He wasn’t just alive. He was reborn. But survival came at a price. Rex was no longer a pawn of the megacorp; he was something more dangerous, something they couldn’t control. As Cleo’s intentions began to reveal themselves, Rex found himself standing on the precipice of war, not just with the bugs but with forces far greater than he could have imagined. This was the beginning of a journey through blood-soaked battlefields and treacherous alliances. Along the way, Rex would encounter allies, brilliant, flawed, and unpredictable, and enemies whose ambitions were as sharp as their blades. These weren’t disposable foes, easily crushed by an overpowered hero. They were cunning, relentless, and human in the most terrifying ways. But then again, in war, who can truly be called a villain?

This is being moved over here from Wattpad. The summary is irrelevant since I don't have a clear direction. This idea came to me in a dream, and even though I have never written a story in my life, I had the urge to write a story around the one scene I remember. When I started writing, ideas came into my head like water into a glass.
