I woke up in a dark dungeon, my body screaming in agony, reeking of death. The air was thick with decay, each breath clawing at my throat. My mind was blank, a hollow void. "Who am I?" I whispered, but no answer came. Stumbling into the world beyond, I was greeted by thick fog and cold silence. The ground was littered with gutted bodies and shattered swords—fragments of lives lost to battles I couldn’t begin to understand. The monsters I’d killed to get here felt like a prelude to something worse. I couldn’t stop wondering about the stories behind the broken swords, the fallen warriors. Maybe my own story lay hidden among them. They say curiosity killed the cat. I can only hope my curiosity ends up killing me too.

And something else that I don't remember.

The light of the fireplace cast long shadows on the wall, the fire reflected in the eyes of the woman sitting on the couch with a blanket over her shoulders. She had a bittersweet smile on her face as her mind traveled to the past days, nights long passed, nights she shared with her family when she was a kid. Memories she hoped to bring alive if possible. First story: a story adaptation of a popular folklore in Nigeria; The Princess and the half man; She had sworn on her mother's grave never to be blinded by emotions. But It'd seem she took after her mom in that aspect after all. Throwing all caution to the wind just for a man. She had thought she was different from the rest, leave it to reality to smack her back to her senses. Her feelings for her dad was complicated, she could say she hated him, but that was not quite true, no matter what, he was still her father. The one who pampers and gives in to her every whim. She knew it was partly guilt and the fact she was his only daughter out of a battalion of boys that contributed to his attitude towards her. But so what, she didn't care much for affection, all she had cared for was getting what she wanted, and that had been true about her, until now. Authors note: As a kid my dad will always sit us down at night, outside, in the darkness and tell us the most delightful stories of kingdoms long passed, Princesses and princes, magical creatures, much to the delight of us kids. But there's not much of that nowadays. So I want to share these delightful stories with everyone and I hope by doing this, these stories will not get lost in the sands of time. Thank you, have a nice read.

At the moment his life ended, Ye Zhongming found himself thrown back ten years—to the afternoon when the apocalypse began. Was this a second chance granted by fate? Or was it yet another punishment?

This enigmatic gift, manifested through a single, otherworldly eye, allows him to copy powers, skills, and knowledge, but at a cost. As Ezekiel struggle to survive in this unfamiliar world, he enrolled in a academy called Aetherfall Academy, a prestigious academy for the gifted. Here, he is introduced to a society governed by the strong, those who represents the world's mightiest factions. Among these factions are the pillars, seven individuals who embody the greatest strength in the world. Caught in a web of factional politics, divine machinations, and the clash of ancient mythologies, Ezekiel's journey is one of discovery, power, and inner turmoil. As he navigates alliances, rivalries, and the complexities of his newfound abilities, Ezekiel must confront the reality of his unique gift: it may hold the key to either the destruction or salvation of this fractured world. The question is, will he remain the boy who came from the end of one world, or become the harbinger of a new beginning for all? In a world on the brink of rebirth, Ezekiel Rhea will have to decide whether to fight for humanity's future or become the very force that brings it to an end,.
