Mantis Path To Nowhere

The house of secrets

Torn from his reality, Fate Moren finds himself thrust into a world where gods walk among mortals. But godhood is no gift – it's a death sentence. His very existence makes him a target, a rival to the established deities. With only basic powers and a single, brutal objective – be the last god standing – Fate must master his newfound abilities and outmaneuver his divine enemies. The clock is ticking, and the pantheon is closing in. Can Fate defy the odds and carve his own destiny, or will he become another fallen god in this deadly game of survival?

"Three souls. Three paths. One fate to rewrite the worlds." In a fractured multiverse, three extraordinary beings carve their destinies: A Returnee, haunted by the horrors of a war-torn world they barely escaped. A Reincarnator, burdened by memories of countless lifetimes and the inability to escape their endless cycle. A Regressor, desperate to rewrite their failures, no matter the cost. Each is driven by their own quest for survival, power, and purpose, but as their journeys collide, the lines between ally and enemy blur. Unraveling mysteries of ancient prophecies and rivaling manipulative forces, they must navigate a world of swords and sorcery, martial arts, and otherworldly challenges. As traces of their actions ripple through history, the protagonists unknowingly play into the hands of intelligent and cunning adversaries who seek to control the threads of fate. In a universe where nothing is as it seems, the ultimate question arises: Will they forge salvation, or will their paths tear existence apart?

After a tragic accident that claimed the lives of his parents and little sister, Leo, just 17 years old, found himself shouldering all responsibilities alone. By some miracle, he survived the past four months on his own—attending high school, juggling multiple part-time jobs, and enduring sympathetic gazes that pained him. The only respite he found was in books, which offered him an escape and some semblance of joy. One day, while engrossed in the book 'Path of Heroes: Battle Against the End,' his life took an unexpected turn. Halfway through the story, he inexplicably found himself transmigrated into the world of Path of Heroes, inhabiting the body of Azriel Crimson—a character never mentioned in the story's first half. An extra. Someone seemingly irrelevant to the plot. Unfortunately—or perhaps fortunately—fate had other plans, and Leo soon discovered that being a mere extra was not his destiny after all. -------------------------------------- Character illustrations will be available on Discord.

The year is 2025. A devout Christian named Arthur Bennett wins a lottery to participate in a revolutionary virtual reality experience at a high-tech company called Elysium. The program utilizes a unique VR pod to immerse users in a world based on a popular anime. As the other participants—a mix of personalities with varying degrees of anime knowledge—prepare to enter the simulation, Arthur remains the only one who has never indulged in anime. Upon entering this new world, he discovers an unsettling truth: pain is excruciatingly real, despite the creators' claims of a dampened pain response. He eventually finds himself trapped in prison, unable to log out, and demanding to be released from the program. Calls go unanswered, and the world of ninjas becomes a nightmare where hunger, thirst, hygiene, and even death are all real. Angered that he was deceived, he abandons all sense of logic and vows to become a villain no one would have ever anticipated.

Fractured Paths In a fractured world ruled by Prismatic Energy, powerful factions vie for control of ancient ruins known as Convergence Points—sources of untamed energy capable of reshaping the very fabric of existence. Amid the chaos, two young warriors, Elara Myris and Oran Daris, struggle to survive as their faction crumbles under the relentless assault of the Crimson Veil, a ruthless group led by the enigmatic and dangerous Lucius Malvernis. Elara, a resourceful but inexperienced wielder of a subtle energy disruption ability, and Oran, a brash fighter who commands threads of energy to manipulate his environment, are forced to flee into the unknown. Their path is shaped by the legendary figures Lyra and Kael—a pair of masterful warriors whose precision and ingenuity have made them myths in their own right. Lyra, with her unparalleled control of projectile trajectories, and Kael, a tactician who can swap positions with objects and later souls, become reluctant mentors to the struggling duo. As they journey across dangerous landscapes—from the shadowy marshes of Nytheria to the volcanic wastelands of Valoria—the young warriors uncover a deadly truth: the Convergence Points are more than energy sources. They are remnants of a forgotten era, tied to the destruction of the ancient world, and Lucius seeks to harness their power to create a devastating weapon. To stop him, Elara and Oran must grow into the warriors they aspire to be, learning not only from the skills of Lyra and Kael but also from their own failures. But in a world where strength often comes at the cost of humanity, the line between survival and sacrifice blurs. With every Convergence Point they destroy, the stakes rise—and so does the price they must pay. “Fractured Paths” is a dark, character-driven fantasy about resilience, growth, and the bonds forged in the crucible of conflict. In a world where power corrupts and legends cast long shadows, it asks: what does it truly mean to be strong?

All the anger and frustration that the people around him were withholding finally found a way out. The vent was the green skinned lifeform that calmly stood in front of everyone in the square. Agitated people started crowding menacingly around the lifeform, almost as if they would be overcome with violence. "Wait, Wait, What the fuck are you talking about? We don't know who or what you are, and we don't care!" "Yeah! We wanna go home!" "Let us out!" "Yeah! You better let us leave or else we'll f" *BOOM* Right on sight, the heads of twenty odd people who were moving forward seemingly with the intent of stirring trouble all had their heads simultaneously explode. Jets of red blood squirted up from the exposed necks of those people, while the insides of their heads colored the outerwear of the bystanders around them. The steamy red blood immediately created a suffocating atmosphere. Screams and profanities abound as people attempted to move as far away from that green "demon". Some fell over on top of each other, crushing others in the process, others fell on the floor hyperventilating. A piece of flesh landed on Midas' face, but he hadn't even noticed as he was now trying to calm his heart rate while looking around trying to figure out if there was a way he could get away from this situation. "STOP!!", yelled the green lifeform while exuding a terrifying atmosphere about it, and immediately all in the area lost their ability to move or even speak. Midas had never felt such fear in his entire life. Every molecule of DNA in his body was telling him that at that moment in time, his life wasn't in his hands. All he could do was stay still and watch the green lifeform while his ears throbbed with the sound of his own racing heartbeat. "Now that I have your attention, let me continue with my explanation. I will explain this once and once only. The planetary body that you lower beings call 'Earth' has Awakened, and thus it has attained it's right to undergo Planetary Ascension. You all have been chosen by your planet and your performance from now on will determine what will happen to your home planet. If you succeed a whole new Universe will open up to you. Knowledge, and Wisdom that will teach you Evolution. However, If you fail, your planetary body will have it's right of existence revoked... That is … Death." "..." None of the Chosen could say anything at that moment, but their expressions held visions of disbelief, excitement, confusion and despair. Right then, there was a high pitched sound and almost immediately everyone realised that they could now move again. Many fell on the floor from their muscle strain and tense emotional states but that did not stop the green lifeform from continuing it's speech. "Well, it seems we're all on the same page. Now, let's begin the 7 Trials."
