Apocalypse had descended! Strange creatures sprung out from the earth bringing calamity upon the world, the earth was twisted beyond measure and even the moon was engulfed by the chaos. But it was only for a time, up until all waves of beasts would be cleared and the torment would lift, pending it's re-descent—in a never ending loop. A judgment from the gods. Their sins? No one had a clue. Their path to forgiveness? Even more unclear. Their only salvation was the Curse Bearers, people who could bend the wind to their will, move objects with as little as a thought and call mythical beasts to their aid. Ark was one of them, albeit with a little quirk. He was cursed to die, his curse set to consume his soul. But it was going to take far more than that to kill one born with the Heritage of a god! —————————————> Note: This is not your typical Apocalypse novel, the apocalypse is a well represented theme among many others.

Yang Qing sighed as he gazed upon the black building that stood tall piercing the skies above with an inviolable aura around it. "The Order sure is black-hearted," he angrily thought as he made his way into the building begrudgingly. The building could be considered his home away from home and a source of endless grief for him due to its unforgiving working hours. The building housed the courtrooms of the Cultivation Order Society, an organization founded to maintain a semblance of order in the ruthless cultivation world of the southern continent who if left to their own devices would sink the whole continent to the ground. Due to how impetuous cultivators were, the cases never stopped. "Yi Jie, what do we have today?" "Two cultivators at the palace realm fought over a treasure and destroyed half of the territory of the blue deer kingdom in their fight, A rogue cultivator is suing the owner of the falling meteor blacksmith shop for selling him a faulty saber that keeps attracting lightning tribulations. A cultivator suffering from pill poisoning is blaming it on the white hilltop restaurant as he suspects they are feeding their spirit beasts pills to make them bigger and fatter. And the last case is 500 families are suing a cultivator by the name of Ren Fu for being negligent as a husband and a father whilst also pilfering their resources dry as he moves from place to place.," Awkward silence ensues...........

Beyond gods. Beyond creation and destruction. Beyond even the Almighty Omniversal God—there exist two beings that should not be. The God of Nothingness—who holds the power to erase anything, even existence itself. The God of Permission—whose will alone allows reality to unfold. They are not rulers. Not entities. Not even forces of nature. They are concepts—absolute laws of reality given form. And yet, for the first time since the birth of all things, they have asked a question. Which of them is truly superior? A paradox binds them: If Nothingness erases Permission, then nothing new can ever be created. If Permission denies Nothingness his right, then nothing will ever end. The balance of existence itself teeters on the edge of collapse. And so, they turn to the one being capable of unraveling the impossible—Noah Vance. A mere human. No power. No divinity. Just an impossibly sharp mind that has questioned reality long before meeting them. Now, as the first and only mortal to ever learn of their existence, Noah must judge which of these two untouchable forces is superior. His decision could redefine the laws of existence—or erase everything, including himself. But what if the true paradox is not about which of them should win… but whether they should exist at all? And what if Noah is the only one who can prove it?

In this world, ascending to upper realms was a matter of resources and ability. No matter the status or power level, if you have the money and the willingness to, you can live in any realm of your choosing. However, the higher the realm, the more power there is to tap into and cultivate. However, a devastating war led to a change in the rules. Who is brave enough to seek the Supremacy and rule the world? By: Jerlani

Orion’s fate was sealed in blood long before his first breath, his destiny woven into the unseen threads of a world teetering on the edge of oblivion. But it was his grandfather’s dying words that set his path in motion—whispering of an Ancient Organization swallowed by time, of a fragmented map etched with eldritch secrets, and of a duty that should have never been his to bear. Bound by the weight of a forgotten legacy, he steps into a world where shadows breathe, dark magic festers, and the slumbering gods watch with hollow, unblinking eyes. As he follows the map’s cursed trail, reality itself begins to unravel. The deeper he treads, the more he unearths—secrets buried not by man, but by the divine, locked away in fear of what they might awaken. Forgotten horrors stir beneath the veil of existence, their whispers clawing at his mind, twisting truth into nightmare. In a world where gods are neither merciful nor just, where their will is as cruel as it is absolute, Orion must tread carefully. For power is never given—it is taken, stolen from the dark. And in the end, all that remains is the price it demands.
