Train Drift Scene Polar Express

Since the opening of the Dungeon Rifts-- also called D.Rifts or Drift Dimensions, the world has changed. It's become more militaristic and violent-- unpredictable, even. Monsters raze cities and bring diseases that birth new races. Magic exists in a constant state of hyperflux, birthing new powers and changing the functions of old ones. But none of that mattered for Rex. He wasn't a Drift Soldier-- as much as he wanted to be. He didn't have powers-- even if he wished he did, so when he graduated primary school, he expected to get his Drift Armament and find a bit of consistency for once in his life. But you know what they say about expectations...... DING! [Congratulations!

My name is Zhang Yanhang, just an ordinary Awakener and a part-time college student living a monotonous life, following the routine of school, cultivation, and home. I neither smoke nor drink; my only hobby is observing humanity during moments when time stands still. I thought my dull life would continue forever, but one night, as I lay in bed ready to sleep, I unexpectedly stumbled upon something interesting. 【Enter the Ashen World?】 【Option One: Yes (Successfully enter the Ashen World and gain the ability to digitize your body as well as ways to become stronger, the price might be oversleeping and being late for school tomorrow.)】 【Option Two: No (Refuse to enter the Ashen World but feel it's a waste to sleep immediately, so decide to stay up all night gaming and cultivating, the price might be oversleeping and being late for school tomorrow.)】 【Option Three: Ignore for Now (Suggested for those with difficulty making decisions, you will agonize over whether to enter the Ashen World and will only fall asleep at two in the morning, the price might be oversleeping and being late for school tomorrow.)】 ps: The protagonist is not saintly, is decisive and ruthless, and thinks differently from the average person. Please refrain from criticism if this is not to your taste.

Black Dragon, the 'King of Soldiers', Ye Fan, returns to the city from the Huaxia Dragon Group and is forced into marriage with a beautiful but disdainful chairwoman. The chairwoman is cold, lofty, and dominant, shining like a queen, while Ye Fan desires only a lazy life of a common man, which leads to friction between them. Yet a dragon will always be a dragon, never hiding its claws, teeth, or horns, and even in the urban world, Ye Fan remains a king. Watch him dominate the city, subdue the beautiful chairwoman, and have his followers bow down; he will protect his home, defend his country, and destroy its humiliations.

His tendons severed in his hands and feet, he fused with the memories of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong, in a moment of utter despair. From then on, he defied the heavens and rose powerfully, unstoppable once he began.

The new global virus was only the beginning. After the majority of the population was infected, the virus began to cause mutations within the human body, as if it were a program controlling its host. Within half a month, 99% of the infected life forms turned into uncontrollable monsters. Shao Ming, who was studying abroad in the UK, received word that there still existed an uninfected safe zone back in his distant homeland. Now, he must cross the entire Eurasian continent to find that last piece of untouched land. Without a system, without superhuman abilities, without evolution, the only thing he can rely on is the weapon in his hand and the train running on the tracks. Traversing the wasteland, we lose not only our loved ones, but also the humanity that is gradually erased. Scavenging supplies, rescuing survivors, upgrading the train, reinforcing the carriages, follow the protagonist—fighting through the obstacles and heading toward the final safe zone.

[Synopsis] In a dark, underground basement, a spooky old man's voice sent shivers down my spine. "You're gonna meet your end, hahaha," he taunted, before lunging at me with a sword, slashing the air, and spattering my throat with red drops. "We'll see," I defiantly whispered, my last words fading as I drifted into darkness. Suddenly, I woke up in a bustling tavern filled with laughter and clinking glasses. A captivating lady stood before me, her beauty clashing with her angry expression, ready to disrupt the cheerful mood. "Don't stalk me," she snapped, giving me a harsh look before storming out of the tavern. Am I stuck in some kind of game? My common sense shattered, leaving me questioning my reality. ------------------------------------------- [A/N: Give it a read, buddy; you won't regret it.] [Discord Server Link: https://discord.com/invite/4gVfcaePJS]

Inside a quiet pavilion located inside one of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom’s four largest cultivation sects, a young man slowly opened his eyes with a helpless expression as he gazed down towards the fog located at the base of the mountain that the pavilion was located on top of. Not only was he the youngest Core Elder in the history of a large cultivation sect, but he was also someone who had transmigrated over with a system! The system in question wanted him to train up disciples and in turn help him get stronger! But there was one major problem in all of this… He didn’t have any disciples! Ding~!

“Come not between the Dragon and his Wrath.” — William Shakespeare The year was 2140, and Earth was nothing but a distant memory. 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.

Cassian Ven Dyke, the bastard son of a powerful ducal family, grew up in the slums of Veldora under the care of his father figure, sword master Russel. When Russel passed away, Cassian was left with only a silver necklace as his inheritance. After putting it on, Cassian was attacked by three psychotic thugs who tortured him in an attempt to steal the necklace.

Just before disappearing, he heard an eerie message echo in his mind: [True mana detected. Origin: Human...] [Human detected.

Permanently drifting. Ungodly or divine in nature. They drift, unable to know that they aren’t alone or that there are others drifting like them simply due to how endless it is. Time crawls to a halt. Space grows stagnant. Darkness remains a constant. Infinite. Eternal. Untouchable. But sometimes within the endless black of nothing, after a few eternities, something might come across something to escape their eternal monotony, whether it be someone else or something much farther than that. Floating through the void, a nameless spirit finds itself amongst endless nothing. Empty and desiring more, it quietly waits. Until eventually, it can feel the pull of reality, they allow it to take hold of them. Authors Note: As I get older, I can't help but hate my younger self, especially how I wrote. I think I've improved since then but I still can't help but hate. I hope you enjoy it!

Nobody's perfect. We all have flaws. We all carry the weight of what makes us human—unrealized potential, fleeting ambition, procrastination, or settling for a life of mediocrity. For most, it’s just part of living. For Alexander Hawthorne, it was all he knew. Born into privilege in the gleaming city of Kaelion, Xander had every advantage: wealth, status, a name that commanded respect. But beneath the surface, he drifted—unmotivated, uncertain, and haunted by the sudden loss of his mother. The fire within him had dimmed, leaving only the shadow of what he could become. Until that day. The day he stumbled upon a secret his family kept buried for generations. A mantle of power, a destiny so heavy it could break any unworthy soul. The path to becoming a Sovereign—was not given, it was earned. And it was guarded by unimaginable trials, enemies wearing familiar faces, and truths that could shatter everything Xander thought he knew about his family and himself. To rise, he must shed the man he was and embrace the warrior he’s meant to be. Because in a multiverse on the brink of chaos, where legacies are forged or destroyed, failure is not an option. But is he ready to claim the mantle… or will he be the Hawthorne that lets it all crumble? Come along on this journey with me and see for yourself.

Follow Yuma's heartbreaking journey as he sacrifices himself to accomplish his goal. "I WILL take down the world Government... FOR FREEDOM!"

Lucan Ironfist came from a noble family, but he wasn't the eldest son. When his brother became the head of the family and he turned 18, Lucan would become a commoner. A strange rule, but that's how it was. So Lucan began to think of a way to live a peaceful life. As he was considering this, his mother arranged for him to become a priest in another city. A priest didn't have to worry about food or housing, and all he had to do was watch over the temple and the statue. It was easy work, so he agreed and arrived at the city. One day, as he was watching over the temple and the statue, a poor-looking girl came to pray. When she prayed to God, light gathered around her body. Lucan was surprised and suddenly remembered the plot of a certain game. Originally, Lucan was from Earth and had traveled to this fantasy world. When he was on Earth, he played a game with a plot where a merchant family's illegitimate daughter, bullied by her family, awakened the power of a saint. Lucan decided to keep this secret and train the saint so that in the future, he could have an easy life and save himself from any crises. --- **Please do not rate the novel until you have read at least 20 chapters.

Winter is an orphaned girl who works as a barista in an old-fashioned English café called Café Guifi. She lives in a small cottage house together with her bright cat, Lady Matilda McMuffin. On a scorching summer day, a mysterious gentleman appeared out of nowhere, claiming to be Cait Sìth. The legendary “casanova,” “King of Cats,” and “the soul of England,” that everyone deemed to be an urban legend. Torn between attraction and annoyance, Winter concluded that there was more to the man than meets the eye. Finding herself trusting him more. She invites Winter to ride the Galaxy Express Railway, a one-way ticket to see the universe. **SNIPPET** “W-Where are you taking me?” Winter finally finds the courage to talk again, despite the fact that she was still sensitive to the eerie and mysterious atmosphere that surrounded them. Her skin was drenched in cold sweat, which caused the muscles throughout her body to stiffen up. “Stay. And you'll find the answer to your question.” He removed her mask—gave an oh-so-charming smile, blue eyes glistening with mischief. She ought to be screaming and crying for help right now. Nevertheless, there was something within this person, or rather this being, that had entranced her in so many ways—causing her to be anxious, frightened, and completely mystified at the same time. ** OTHER STORIES: Too Gay for You: You Give me Heart Eyes Miss Not so Typical: Consider me Humored Join the discord: https://discord.gg/mCBYVgW8MH

Between the howls and wails, the screams and cries of women being raped, and the villagers being eaten and butchered like cattle, there was a middle-aged man who was desperately running away while yelling his lungs out. ''Why.... WHY!!! YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKERS!!!'' His clothes were in tatters and marred in blood, with his body being barely able to function. His state was simply beyond recognition. As for where he was running to... It didn't matter... He just wanted to flee the hellish scene that was unfolding behind him. His remote village, the one he had lived in his entire life, was now a fiery beacon illuminating the night. ''Whyyyyy areeeeeee youuuuuuuuuu runninnnnnnnnnnng awwaaayyyy froooooom usssssssss?'' Terrifying low growls and voices could be perceived behind him, and every time he heard them, his body released adrenaline to try to override its limits, but to no avail as his injuries were just too severe. The humanoid creatures pursuing him were like shadows, barely distinguishable through the cover of the night. Their eyes, akin to black holes, were fixed on their prey as it struggled for its pathetic life. Their faint and sinister giggles kept reverberating through the darkness... *** As blood rushed up his throat and leaked at the corners of his mouth, his sinister appearance aggravated to where he resembled a devil. During his maniacal laugh, his punctured lungs had finally given out, causing his whole body to collapse on the ground and dyeing it a scarlet shade. His mind went blank, while his consciousness left his battered body. *** After what appeared to be a few minutes, he suddenly woke up. He was startled at first, but he soon realized that he had indeed died. Everything around him was black, without an ounce of life in sight. He was basically a spirit floating in the absolute void. ''So this is what happens when you die... You just drift in darkness... That's actually underwhelming. I wonder if I'll just fade away'' When Derrick's thoughts started to drift, a prompt appeared in front of him. [Welcome to System Nemesis, Derrick Tarlin] [Would you like to seek revenge? Yes/No]

On the global launch day of Age of Empires IX, an ordinary gamer named Arthur unexpectedly finds himself transported into a medieval-style fantasy world. Here, swords clash with schemes, and blood meets iron. No longer the player controlling the battlefield, Arthur is reduced to the lowest rung of the feudal hierarchy—a humble knight’s squire. At first, he resigns himself to his fate, ready to live a quiet, unremarkable life. But destiny has other plans. A mysterious "data interface" appears before him, offering a glimpse of hope and the possibility of rising above his station. Starting with nothing but a ragtag militia, Arthur begins to build his own army, expand his territory, and embark on an epic journey to become the ruler of an empire. But the challenges in this land are far greater than he ever imagined. Barbarian raids, pirate invasions, the curse of undead knights, and the roar of dragons—every battle is fraught with danger. Yet the most dangerous enemies aren’t on the battlefield. They lurk in the shadows of the court. Loyalty can be bought. Oaths can be broken. And the price of glory is often paid in blood. To survive, Arthur must rely on his unique abilities, sharp intellect, and unyielding ambition to overcome every obstacle in his path. From an unknown nobody to a legendary lord, Arthur must navigate the treacherous game of power, one calculated step at a time, and carve out his own legacy. A symphony of adventure, growth, and strategy at its peak. The wheels of fate have begun to turn, and Arthur Grayson’s age of empire is only just beginning…

‘How did this happen’ The young man, practically a boy, looked at the scene in front of him. In just one glance it was possible to see dozens of people, more closely he was sure there could be hundreds or thousands of people prostrating themselves in front of him. From the center of the city square to the adjacent streets in front of the temple, with a frightening similarity to what happened in the Vatican when the Pope gave a speech. The young man sitting on a throne too big for him, inside a marble temple he could see expressions of happiness, reverence, gratitude and in some a small hint of fear. Not that he paid much attention to the others, his attention was mainly drawn to the group directly below the throne. This group was made up of people of various ages, from old men with gray and wrinkled hair, but with strangely healthy bodies and postures upright like poles, to young people of various ages including children. What this group in particular had in common was their expression, which could only be described as fanatical as they looked at the young man. The only thing that was going on in the young man's head, with all this excessive attention, was simply... ‘How did things get like this?!!!! I was just playing a game!!!!’ In a room in an ordinary apartment, in an ordinary city. A seemingly ordinary young man could be seen lying in bed with a cell phone on his chest. The cell phone was on and showing scenes from what appeared to be a game. With a small and intriguing coincidence that the young man sitting on a huge throne inside a marble temple was completely identical to the sleeping young man. ********************************************** Thanks to ImagineArt for the image
