Vestige

Dans un monde en déclin, où les vestiges d’espoir s’effacent et où la confiance n’est plus qu’un murmure oublié, un jeune homme se tient à la croisée des chemins. Il ne cherche pas de héros, ni de miracles, mais une vérité : celle de sa propre identité. Déchiré entre le poids d’un passé brisé, fugace et un futur incertain, il entreprend une quête extraordinaire, semée d’épreuves, de doutes, et de révélations bouleversantes. À travers les ruines d’une civilisation qui a perdu foi en elle-même, il explore les profondeurs de ce que signifie être humain. Quels souvenirs façonnent nos âmes ? Que sommes nous sans ces derniers ? Qu’est-ce qui donne un sens à notre existence lorsque tout semble s’effondrer ? Et jusqu’où sommes-nous prêts à aller pour retrouver ceux que nous avons perdus ? Plongez dans une odyssée introspective et épique, où chaque pas est une bataille contre soi-même et le monde, où la lumière vacille mais refuse de s’éteindre. Car même dans les ténèbres les plus profondes, il subsiste toujours une lueur pour qui ose la chercher. Un periple dont le but est la lumiere.

In a world where magic once flowed like rivers beneath the earth, its lifeblood is failing. The ley lines that sustained civilizations and ecosystems are collapsing, and with them, the last vestiges of balance between nature, magic, and technology. Elandriel Windwhisper and the remaining leaders of their world face an impossible choice: fight for survival in a dying land, or cross a mysterious bridge to a world without magic, where everything they've known may be lost forever. A decision looms, but what will they be forced to leave behind? What is the true cost of survival?

Eve Ziffer always believed that one day her nano-machines would save humanity. It needed to be saved—from pollution, from the climate change, from the wars. Yet in the end, her research instead turned out to be the thing that pushed it into the very abyss. After surviving an attack and waking up from a six-years long coma that followed, Eve opens her eyes to see the world changed beyond recognition. Walking corpses roam the streets, and humans fight them with swords and superpowers. Now Eve is the only person able to finish her own work and fix the nano-machines that brought this devastation. Whether the last vestiges of mankind would disappear, or would the human race rise like a phoenix from the ashes—all lies in hands of Eve and the people she will meet along the way. They will fight and they will scheme and they will talk, because human vices are adversaries as bad as the zombies; and trials of friendship and love can be as perilous as any battle. ===================== Victor leaned towards her face, burning her with his glare. “No.” “I’m doing this for myself, for you and for science. Any single one of these reasons is enough to keep disagreeing with you.” Victor’s eyes dropped to her lips. ‘There is more than a single way to dominate a person…’ Before he could even try to stop himself, he dived in, pressing his lips on hers. His hand grabbed the back of Eve’s head, another fell on Eve’s thin waist and followed the alluring lines of her figure to her hip. His body was burning with inner fire. Eve was too shocked to think. She never expected for this standoff to end like it did. Victor kissed her as if he wanted to eat her. His bites stung, but his lips soothed. The heat of his hand burned her skin even through clothes. Then Eve finally regained her sanity. She drove her knee into Victor’s groin. He gasped and bended in pain, letting Eve go. Before he could resist, she continued the combo with a strike to the back of his head and a submission hold on his arm. “What are you doing?! I should’ve listened to Xia better. Men really are worse than dogs! How did I miss the moment when your brain had turned into mush, Victor?” “I didn’t think that I would need to spell it out, but there can be no romantic interactions in work time, and no romantic relations between researchers and test subjects. More than that, I’m not interested!” ==================== [Status: completed] Warning!

While others could leave him as scattered drops of bright, rusty red fluid, staining the ground, walls, or filling the atmosphere confined in whatever area he was reduced to as either crimson fog or mist. To know more, accompany Jack Greyson in his unrelenting, dauntless, and indefatigable, extremely perilous quests across numerous unbounded worlds or vast dimensional planes that dot the 'boundless Seas of Stars' and are filled with strange, strong and agile entities, ravenous beastly creatures, and terrifying sentient monstrosities.

I remember what it was like to live in a cage. From the days when I was little, I remember how it felt to be sold, used, beaten, and persecuted. I remember then as the last vestiges of my humanity fled from me and created the monster that they so feared. The Angels? God? They had abandoned me. An empty cry to a mother never to be answered. Humanity likes to cage that which it fears. To tame forces of nature, to control that which is beyond their understanding. They had tried to capture me again, and they had failed.
