This is a story about a boy who fell in love with a tree… A story about powerful people changing the rulebook to stack the odds and line their pockets… I aim to create a story that will transport us so we get a glimpse of what that boy felt. The first 4 Chapters might be classified as a prologue depending on how you look at it. The boy quickly grows and the story really starts when the System arrives on Earth. I’m trying to achieve a relatively slow power progression and guide what we learn at a pace following the people in the story. There will be fighting but It’s more focused on base building. The MC is not all-powerful and all-knowing but he has some significant advantages. I’m trying to create a universe that makes sense in its own context. Much of what you will find, are my own world views, in a magnified way, as to make it for interesting fiction. The story took a life of its own when I started to write and I’m really happy with it. Not all of the tags I have marked will immediately be applied. There is stuff planned for far in the future such as the Sci-fi tag. There might be some cursing and gore but it is not very often.

Murky Smilodon was reborn in 3014. This time, people were highly interested in exploring ancient prehistoric times due to a peculiar ailment that induced vivid dreams and nightmares. In these dreams, individuals faced a choice between a regular dream or a nightmare. In a regular dream, they experienced safety but had a mere five days to live in the real world before succumbing to death. While choosing nightmare, granted them enhanced strength and an extended stay in the real world if they manage to keep their lives. However, failing to survive in the nightmare resulted in a transformation into dangerous creatures known as Catalyst creatures. Regrettably, Murky did not possess mutated genes, leading to his abandonment, mockery, and loss of privileges. His fiancé willingly left him, and even his mother turned her back on him, displaying affection solely towards his half-brother, who was not her biological son. For numerous years, he endured threats, abuse, manipulation, and mistreatment. Even his influential family refused to assist him, leaving him ill-prepared to confront the infected dream that would transform him into a Catalyst creature if he failed. However, when he fell ill and experienced the dream, he realized that the dreams were not set in prehistoric times but were, in fact, popular movies from his previous life. Armed with knowledge gained from those movies, could this be his chance for revenge?

The beast roared as she tored the remaining skin of the soldier into pieces, approaching the survivors for a final attack to devour. "Mother!" was the only word that halted her steps, the beast roared angrily and turned around to see.... AVA, her long missing daughter .......THE STORY BEGINS THIS WAY.... As the ages passed, the gods' harmony was disrupted. Their rivalries and conflicts began to shape the world, and their powers, once balanced, now clashed. The land suffered, and the Kaleeki's magic began to wane. Terra, the guardian of balance, recognized the danger and took drastic measures. With a heavy heart, he chained the gods' powers, imprisoning them as stars in the sky. The world of Eridoria was forever changed. Terra, in his wisdom, foresaw a future where the balance would be restored. He prophesied that a child, born under the crescent moon, would wield the four powers of the gods. This child, named Ava, would be the key to unlocking the gods' chains and restoring harmony to the land. The prophecy was written on a sacred scroll, hidden in an ancient cave, and guarded by the priests of the Sanian caste. Centuries passed, and the prophecy was all but forgotten. But the oldest member of the Sanian caste, a wise and venerable Kaleeki named Kaelin Darkhaven, stumbled upon the ancient scroll while exploring the depths of the cave. As he unrolled the parchment, the words of Terra shone with a faint, otherworldly light. Kaelin knew that he had uncovered something momentous and hastened to share the prophecy with King Arin II. The king, intrigued by the prophecy, called upon his advisors and the leaders of the Kaleeki castes to convene in the great hall of the palace. Kaelin Darkhaven presented the scroll, and the assembly listened in awe as the prophecy was read aloud. The words spoke of Ava, a child born of a barren mother, who would wield the powers of the four gods and restore balance to the world. The assembly was divided, some doubting the prophecy's validity, while others saw it as a beacon of hope. King Arin II, however, was resolute. He decreed that the prophecy be spread throughout the land, and that the people of Eridoria prepare for the coming of Ava, the chosen one. And so, the kingdom awaited the arrival of the child who would bring harmony back to the world.
