Five years ago, she saved him but lost the most precious thing a girl could have. Five years later, he descended from the heavens to protect her peace and guard her safety. Yet, she said, "I'm sorry, but we're not familiar." He smirked, "I know about the birthmark on your body. Wouldn't you say we are familiar?" She harbored secrets, feigned weakness, and endured for many years. While she abided by the world, she was cold and evasive towards him. He held a high social status, controlling everything around him. He was cold-hearted towards the world, yet only tender down to the bone to her. Until one day, he pulled the little guy who was hiding behind her, "Stealthily making a miniature version of me and you say we're not familiar?" A small treasure stood in front of her, blinking and staring at him, "Mom said I popped out from a stone crack!"

For a thousand years, the world believed the gods had built a perfect balance—until the Eclipse Event shattered everything. One night, the sky cracked open like broken glass, and from the abyss beyond, the Calamities descended—twisted beings of shadow, hunger, and madness. They were not demons, not monsters, but something far worse. They devoured the world, consuming entire cities in a matter of days. The strongest warriors—the Four Saviors—stood against the tide… and fell. Humanity’s last cities crumbled. The gods never answered their prayers. The survivors soon realized the terrifying truth: This was not an invasion. It was an erasure.

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. Ken Takeo was my sensei. Strict, perfectly logical, as if cut out of ice. In his world there was no place for emotions. But the longer I watched him, the more I understood: even the strongest ice can crack. Even the most closed person can hide something inside that one day will break out. I didn't know where the border would go. I didn't know exactly when I would allow myself to take a step where it shouldn't have been. But one day it happened. And nothing could be changed.

Alexander Aphelion was a legendary gamer, once cracking the top 100 in Eryndralis, the world's most popular MMORPG. Alexander possessed unrivaled dungeon-diving skills and large brilliance in planning and he thrived on overcoming the game's most challenging obstacles. During a quiet dinner, his life takes an unexpected turn; he is suddenly transported to Eryndralis, the world he once controlled. Alexander, reborn as a demon, has a powerful but unfamiliar body and abilities exceeding his former capabilities in the game. He was surprised to also receive one of the rare and coveted Dungeon Master roles, a title signifying large power and responsibility. His meaningful role as Dungeon Master bestows upon him wide-ranging abilities to carefully design dungeons, to command monsters and the large power to change the world. Great power brings great danger, a fact Alexander soon understood when he realized Eryndralis was not a game, but a living world with high stakes, coupled with deadly consequences. Alexander digs deeply into this detailed world. He increasingly questions his deeply important role: Is he the hero, or is he doomed to become the villain he once opposed? In Dungeon Aphelion, survival and identity are central themes, blurring the line between player and pawn; the stakes are life or death and only world conquest offers escape.

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.

Nate’s POV: The Beast Awakens The burning started in my chest—subtle at first, like a dull ache, but it quickly spread like wildfire. My vision blurred, and every nerve in my body screamed. Not now. Not here. I stumbled back, gripping my arms as the pain intensified. It felt like something inside me was tearing free, clawing its way to the surface. My breath came in ragged gasps, and the world around me dimmed. "Nate, stay with me!" Leona’s voice barely registered through the storm raging in my head. The heat surged, and with it, a primal force I couldn’t contain. My skin prickled, muscles twisting and bones cracking as fur erupted along my arms. My hands... no, claws now, dug into the dirt. My nails were black, curved, and razor-sharp. A deep, guttural growl escaped my throat, one I didn’t recognize as my own. "Nate!" Leona yelled again, stepping closer. Brave, or stupid. Maybe both. I lifted my head, locking eyes with her. Her fear hit me like a wave—but behind it, there was something else. Trust. “Stay back,” I growled, my voice layered with something... inhuman. My lips curled back, revealing sharp teeth. The beast wanted out. It wanted blood. But I wasn’t ready to give it everything. Not yet. With a shuddering breath, I forced myself to stand, claws flexing, muscles coiled like steel. I could feel the strength surging through me—powerful, untamed, and deadly. "You wanted a monster," I snarled, glaring at the enemy ahead. "You’ve got one." ---

Karl, a young man stuck in a rough patch after losing his job and burning through almost all his savings, wandered through the cold, dark streets of Eldoria. On the damp, silent sidewalks, he stumbled upon something bizarre: an old gacha machine mysteriously appearing at every corner he turned, almost as if it was following him.

**"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

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.
