Have you ever played so many survival games that it became second nature? How? You ask… it's simple, the more you train yourself to notice how to keep your character alive the longer it becomes stuck in the back of your mind. When the game only gives you one life and makes you restart from the beginning you try and win by keeping that one life alive till the end! Only for it to make you want to play the next sequel because of how it ended in the first one. Even though some games are impossible to finish because they are unfinishable by design… Or… is it not just a game or simulation? Ever get that feeling the game is more than just a game?

Like helping your crush survive and unlock poses, prizes, outfits, or emotes that are meant for a group. What would happen if you survived so well, yet not completing or progressing to the main mission, that the God of that “game” issued you a challenge?.?

#Synopsis: ------------------------------------------------------ In the far future the planet earth is full, and thanks to 3 key technologies, genetic manipulation, cryosleep, and advanced space engines, humanity builds deep space spaceships and launch themselves to the unknown confines of space to forge a new future away from home. Follow our young engineer Erik as he starts on his first job at the young age of 60 years old in future earth where humans will live hundreds of years, he will reach an unknown place with his spaceship by accident and to survive he will have no choice but to explore alien structures and hunt dangerous monsters to get stronger, making alliances with the locals in more than friendly terms sometimes. ------------------------------------------------------ The protagonist is a young 60 years old "young" engineer, he's easy-going and a good guy, he's been trained so he will know what he's doing most of the time, in "Chapter 1 - A New Beginning" he will explain more, as a human from the future where bodies are just flesh containers, he's fairly openminded (kinda like "Altered Carbon" from Netflix, but different, you can go one day to a genetic center, pay, and get inside a liquid tank and then, the next time you open your eyes your body has already changed, then you get your ticket and go home just like that, but combat modifications would be regulated). ------------------------------------------------------ Hi, NirvanaPenguin here, suggestions on the story are welcome, this is a book I'm gonna write for fun and to get better at writing in preparation for a story I will start next year. ------------------------------------------------------ Discord: https://discord.gg/WPM7a4Dp4J Reddit: www.reddit.com/user/NirvanaPenguin/ Twitter: @NirvanaPenguin Post a review if you liked the book to help me get exposure, thanks.

Humanity now drifted through the galaxies aboard colossal ARKs, massive skyships that served as the last bastions of civilization. Yet, these ARKs were more than just floating cities; they were humanity’s last containers, preserving what remained of their species. A century before Earth's final collapse, humanity discovered a gateway to a realm known as Eternia — a fantastical world straight out of myth and legend. Reaching this realm required more than just advanced technology; it demanded a complete departure from the physical body and entry into a mysterious process known as the Dream Weave. In the present day, Cloud lived aboard ARK NO. 427, where he had been training from a young age to step into the Dream Weave. He was a standout among his peers, excelling in every tasks that came his way. Everything seemed to be on track for him — until the pivotal day of the Class Selection process.

Whether he can become the focus of the whole show or whether a script will dictate his fate, he will decide! He will live as a true villain who doesn't care about anything but his life and his loved ones.

In a distant era known as the Era of Convergence, the universe is on the brink of upheaval. Eons ago, a powerful ancient intelligence scattered fragments of itself across the cosmos—enigmatic artifacts known as the Arks of Origin. These mysterious arks, each embodying facets of cosmic wisdom, wrath, serenity, and chaos, have influenced the rise and fall of countless civilizations, seeding cultures, philosophies, and myths in their wake. Now, after millennia of silence, one of these legendary arks has stirred, sending a signal across the stars—a call that reaches the galaxy’s most powerful factions. The Stellar Coalition, an alliance devoted to safeguarding knowledge and fostering peace, scrambles to secure the Ark before its power is misused. Their rivals, the ruthless Echo Dominion, see in the Ark the key to ultimate control over the galaxy and rally their forces for war. Meanwhile, the enigmatic Wayfarers of Entropy, a band of scholars and nomads, heed the Ark’s call as an omen of enlightenment, pursuing truths that lie beyond mortal comprehension. As the three forces race to reach the Ark, ancient secrets come to light, blurring the line between myth and reality. But beneath the surface, the Ark holds something more profound than any one faction could imagine—a secret that could unite or shatter the universe. In this boundless saga, characters will rise and fall, empires will be built and destroyed, and mysteries will unfurl across millions of years, leaving each generation to grapple with the eternal question: in a universe governed by incomprehensible forces, can knowledge and unity prevail over ambition and chaos?

Wei Ping traveled to a world of high martial arts and gained the ability to nurture avatars. This enabled him to cultivate and fight with different avatars. "What? My compatibility with the 'Golden Mantis Body Refining Technique' is so low? No wonder I haven't been able to master the first layer after so long!" However, Wei Ping was not worried, as he immediately condensed a praying mantis avatar with an unusually high compatibility with the 'Golden Mantis Body Refining Technique' to practice on his behalf. His progress was remarkable, comparable to that of a genius. What others took ten years to achieve in their martial arts, his avatar accomplished in just one year. "So... the more avatars I have, the stronger I become?" Wei Ping realized this, and so he embarked on the path of nurturing avatars while becoming stronger himself. The East Sea's dragon, the sun's golden crow, the ever-changing Yin demons, the Peng bird with a speed that broke limits... these were all Wei Ping's targets. "My goodness! How can you be both divine and demonic, magical and evil at the same time? This is impossible! How did you do it?" Hearing this, Wei Ping grinned and said, "Is it really that hard to be divine, demonic, magical, and evil at the same time? I simply nurtured four avatars and practiced the four great secret manuals at the same time!" Many years later, Wei Ping looked back and suddenly realized that the gods' emperor, the demons' sovereign, the witches' king, the demons' saint, and the ghosts' ancestor of the divine and supernatural races were all his avatars!
