Instead of calling him a Monster, they referred to him as "Connect." Instead of driving him away, they sought to capture him, to use his power for their own gain. As a result, Uche had lived his life in fear, hiding from both those who despised him and those who wanted to exploit him—until the day he was kidnapped by an organ trafficking ring, and lost one of his eyes during a forced surgery, and that was when everything changed for him.

Life is given for free but happiness comes with a cost that many can't afford to pay. *********** Even with the dark grey clouds that hovered over the vast sky and the dim light provided by the fire torch that was on the verge of being blown off by the wind, he could still see the glimmer in her eyes. The very same glimmer that appeared in those brown eyes everytime she was happy and for some reason, tonight he was unable to resist hir urges to steal a part of her. She was still standing by the door waiting for him to leave but he had not taken more than three steps before he halted and turned. His features were darker in contrast to the white shirt that he wore and the look on his face was a predatory one. Instead of getting scared, she watched him take the three stairs that led to her room's door and he was a few inches away from her, he finally spoke up. "If there is one thing that I hate, it's having regrets and I know that I will regret if I do not do this." A part of her was confused by his words and another part felt like she knew what he meant by those words. Before she even had a chance to contemplate on what he had just said, he leaned closer, curled his index finger on her pointed chin and tilted her in an angle such that she could feel his cold breath on her face that caused a shiver to run down her spine. Like she had been hypnotized, all she could do was to stare in those obsidian eyes that had held her captive. "This is a mistake that I want to commit again and again." His breath fanned on her face and goosebumps formed on her skin. Not because of the wind, but because of the effect he had on her. If it was some time before, she would have probably pushed him away or maybe escaped but as time had passed by, her feelings towards him had changed...

The Storm Calling Buddha/ Alternate Title: The Cult of Immortality A world set on the basis of 'might makes right'. A world where clear lines were drawn between mortals and immortals, the lower and the higher. A world where cultivation was real, where going against the heavens was considered the only meaningful way to live. That was the world that Luke Griffiths, or rather Mo Yangling found himself in now. How would he, a devout Buddhist and avid reader of Wuxia novels fare in such a world? And was it really going to be the exact same as the many stories he had read in the past? That only time could tell... ___________________________________________ Also, another good tag for this that I couldn't find would be 'Strong to Stronger MC' Just felt the need to add this here.

Dear Readers, Before diving into the story synopsis, let me introduce you to an exciting world of interconnected tales, each exploring different themes and ultimately coming together in a grand narrative. Welcome to the Shadowverse: An Epic Interconnected Universe I’m thrilled to introduce you to the Shadowverse, an expansive and experimental universe where stories and characters are deeply interconnected. Within this universe, I’ve created three distinct narratives, each with its own rich journey and character development. While each story concludes with a proper and satisfying ending, they all contribute to a grander narrative that reaches its peak in the final chapters of Rebirth of Hope. 1. Rebirth of Hope (Fantasy and Adventure: New Tropes) In a fractured world, powerful bloodlines clash in a deadly tournament to rebuild the Alderson Disk, Earth’s last hope for survival. As alliances shift and rivalries intensify, a prophecy looms, foretelling a savior who will guide humanity’s fate. The future of Earth hangs in the balance as the tournament unfolds. 2. Shadow Ascension (Villain) Delve into the rise of darkness within the Shadowverse as ambitious figures seize power through any means necessary. This story explores the motivations and machinations of those who will stop at nothing to reshape the world in their image, setting the stage for an epic confrontation. 3. The Obsidian Voyage (System) Embark on a daring journey across uncharted realms as explorers seek the lost secrets of an ancient civilization. The stakes are high, as the knowledge they uncover could either save their world or doom it, with every decision impacting the broader Shadowverse. Throughout these tales, you’ll discover references and connections between the stories, which I will highlight in the chapters where they appear. These connections weave a complex and engaging web that leads to a thrilling conclusion in the Shadowverse. I hope you enjoy this new experimental concept as much as I’ve enjoyed creating it. Your support and feedback are invaluable as we explore this universe together! Welcome to the Shadowverse where every story matters, and where your adventure is just beginning. Story Synopsis: In a future where Earth lies in ruins, the destruction of the Alderson Disk has left the planet shattered, with half of it uninhabitable. The remaining half is divided into 14 nations, each ruled by powerful bloodlines with unique abilities tied to ancient weapons. These bloodlines have governed their lands for centuries, but survival is becoming increasingly difficult as resources dwindle and the wasteland encroaches. The only hope lies in a prophecy that foretells the Reborn Disk, a tournament to choose a warrior who will guide humanity in reconstructing the Alderson Disk. However, there is a lingering fear that the prophecy might be wrong, and the chosen warrior could be the very force of pure evil that leads to destruction instead. Thorne Malrath, a warrior from the Malrath bloodline, is skeptical of this prophecy but finds himself thrust into the tournament, where the stakes are higher than ever. Beyond the shattered lands live the Outlanders, non-bloodline survivors who have mastered science and technology. They seek to rebuild the Alderson Disk for their own survival, leading to a clash of ideologies with the bloodline warriors. As both groups race to gather the vast resources needed, they must confront ancient secrets, deadly creatures, and the vast challenges that lie ahead. The story follows Thorne, King Tiberius, Olivia, Garek,Lucien, and other powerful warriors as they navigate a world where science and magic collide. They must unite with the Outlanders to rebuild the Alderson Disk, but mistrust and old grudges threaten their fragile alliance. With the future of Earth hanging in the balance, the final battle will determine whether the world is reborn or falls into chaos.
