Hollow Earth Online - The Return of the Swordmaster

Several decades since the last Human War, and the World is almost back at its former glory. The scars of the last War can now only be found in the history books. After two millennia of self destruction, humanity finally managed to unify as a group under the rule of the Six Council. Under its regime, the remaining 156 countries around the world swore an oath to work toward peace and harmony. War becomes a taboo, and any country who breaks this rule will be punished severely. Technology progresses relatively fast in this so-called Utopia. Full dive technology that allows the user to experience a dream like reality known as VR (Virtual Reality) became really popular especially to the gaming industry. A world to escape humanity’s Utopia. Unlike reality who is heavily regulated by the rules and regulations of the Six Council. Virtual Reality becomes a symbol of freedom, far from the shackles that binds the current society. 2064 Human Era, a VRMMO (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online) game, was launched on its Closed BETA test, Hollow Earth Online. With the game under the most popular genres: Action, Fantasy, RPG (Role Playing Game), many people were keen to try and play the game. After all, HEO's predecessor Arcadia Online, a game released by Atlas Inc. several years ago that garnered a few million players around the globe. Unlike Arcadia, HEO’s world is scaled like the world, a virtual reality under a single instance. Just like a typical fantasy rpg, HEO has one thing that reality lacks, “Magic” a phenomena that can’t be explained nor recreated by science. A world where magic exists and you can be whatever you want, or so everyone thought. Several thousand players worldwide received invitations to participate in the three-day Closed Beta Test event. Asriel, a college student, was among those who received an invitation email from Atlas Inc. to partake in the event as a Beta Tester. HEO seemed like just another fantasy VRMMO from a well-known developer, living up to everyone's expectations. However, little did they know, it was actually the prelude to an apocalypse unlike anything humanity had faced in the last two millennia.

The Obsdian Veil

In the swirling mists of the Forgotten Vale, where time and fate unravel in shadowed threads, destiny awakens in a harrowing collision of light and darkness. Shadow of Destiny, the evocative prelude to The Obsidian Veil, lures readers into a world of fractured realities, ancient prophecies, and forbidden power. At the pinnacle of the ominous Temple of Hidden Truths, the Oracle Thanatos—once the most gifted seer—wrestles with the chaotic echoes of fractured futures. Within his Chamber of Infinite Reflections, suspended mirrors shimmer with possibilities, yet one vision defies all order: a young man whose fiery eyes blaze with raw, untamed energy, destined to reshape or shatter existence itself. Far from the temple’s ominous spires lies Kyreth’s Rest, a tranquil village oblivious to its looming fate. On the day of the Awakening Ceremony, where youths summon their spiritual echoes to define their destiny, Axen—a misfit burdened by fiery red eyes and self-doubt—steps forward to find only rejection. But his failure births a cataclysmic moment: the Crystal of Awakening shatters, unleashing Havoc, a primal wolf of obsidian and shadow. Together, Axen and Havoc form an unlikely bond, their connection a spark of power older than the stars. As corrupted specters descend on the village, Axen must embrace his newfound strength, battling alongside Havoc to protect those who once doubted him. But this triumph is not without consequence. The villagers recoil from the darkness he wields, and whispers of ancient prophecies hint at a terrible truth: the mark Axen bears is not a symbol of salvation but an omen of chaos. In a tale woven with betrayal and redemption, Axen’s journey will pit him against friends turned foes, test his bond with Havoc, and reveal the chilling cost of wielding forbidden power. When the light of hope falters and the shadows rise, the question remains: will Axen stand as the savior of a broken world—or its destroyer? Gripping, beautifully dark, and teeming with intrigue, Shadow of Destiny is a mesmerizing entry into the Obsidian Veil saga, promising readers an unforgettable journey through the fragile balance of fate and free will.

The Author’s Paradox

The center of the universe. The undisputed victor. The one who ultimately wins hearts and undoes enemies with a triumphant smile. That is the role of the protagonist. And all in their orbit are merely supporting characters in the epic that is their life. As for me? I was just a writer, whose words seldom echoed beyond the silence of my own mind. And when they did, it was in the form of a novel – my sole outcry in the vastness of literary oblivion. Until the day the thread of my life snapped… and in the blink of an eye, I was reborn. Inside my own work. With clenched fist and resolute soul, I faced the new reality. Reincarnating into one's own story seems promising, right? To be the immortal hero, the aura of invincibility, the inevitable romances. Except no. The plot twisted and I returned not as the hero, but as an extra – an NPC in the affable terminology of gaming. Away from the spotlight, on the fringes of adventures and loves, I am just a figure that completes the backdrop for others to shine. And honestly? What a relief! Why, you might ask, do I not wish to be the chosen one? Simple – protagonists are magnets for mishaps. Living on the edge of calamity? No, thank you. Death and I have already crossed paths; dramatic pretexts can keep their distance. Thus, I summon to the heavens my heartfelt thanks for this second anonymous chance. “Let me enjoy a stable life away from the limelight,” I plead fervently among tears of joy and resigned smiles. Yet, stifle that laughter. Know that these words, uttered in the innocence of a fresh start, would soon prove to be the prelude to an involuntary comedy. Because, it seems, even an extra can find themselves face to face with destiny. And so begins the most unexpected of journeys – one where the smallest of pawns may, somehow, change the game.

Iris, The Prelude of Clones

Synopsis Will Pandora's Box of Human Cloning Be Opened? In 1997, Dr. Ian Wilmut of the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland, introduced the world to "Dolly," the first cloned sheep. By 2015, the American company VIAGEN PETS had become the first in the world to clone deceased dogs and cats, producing hundreds of cloned animals and establishing itself as the largest animal cloning company in the United States. In May 2023, a baby with DNA from three parents was born at the Newcastle Fertility Centre in the UK, made possible through mitochondrial replacement technology. As of 2024, we find ourselves in the age of AI, with expectations that AI will soon evolve into AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), capable of thinking like humans and even surpassing human intelligence. AGI is anticipated to address long-standing challenges in genetic engineering and biotechnology swiftly and effectively. But what happens when human desires come into play? What if a beloved child, spouse, parent, or even a renowned politician or scholar passes away? With sufficient funding and stable technology, could they be cloned? Even in the Bible, the birth of Jesus is described as asexual reproduction. According to Christian doctrine, Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. This event, known as the "virgin birth," signifies a departure from the typical human reproductive process. This belief is a foundational doctrine of Christianity, underscoring both the divinity and humanity of Jesus. While the concept of asexual reproduction differs from traditional scientific reproductive methods, it is viewed through the lens of faith as divine intervention. Currently, biotechnology is advancing rapidly in most areas, with the exception of core somatic cell cloning. This progress is gradually resolving uncertainties and instabilities while pushing the boundaries of what is deemed divine. A top-down approach, which entails completing surrounding technologies before developing nuclear weapons and only adding the warhead when conditions are right, is already being applied in genetic engineering and biotechnology. In the United States, violations of the Human Cloning Prohibition Act can result in penalties of up to 10 years in prison or fines exceeding $1 million. If someone is willing to take that risk...? The Pandora's Box of human cloning is already upon us.
