Hugo Strange Arkham City

East of Eden, the angels' home, was where Idris lived, bound by the Celestial King's law. This law forbade angels from visiting the mortal realms, separating the divine from the human world. The law was clear: angels were not to interact with mortals. But Idris and his friends secretly defied this law. They would sneak out of Eden, drawn to the allure of the mortal world. In Spellbound City, they indulged in forbidden pleasures: mortal cuisine, intoxicating elixirs, and fleeting joys. One fateful night, their clandestine adventure turned tragic. Ambushed in a dark alley, Idris's friends fell to the Reaper's merciless blade. Idris, severely wounded, lost his wings – the very essence of his being. The cost of his defiance was devastating: - His friends, slain. - His connection to divine magic, severed. - His status, reduced to an Outcast. Among angels, wingless ones were shunned, cast aside as aberrations. And now, Idris faced exile and contempt. The weight of his loss crushed him. Grief, guilt, and shame battled within. Idris's existence, once full of purpose, now teetered on the brink of destruction. But now one desire consumed him: to retrieve his lost wings.

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.

There was once a being revered as a god in a universe with a trillion stars. How many of these stars could sustain life was unknown, but this universe no longer exists. When that universe disappeared, another took its place. It sprouted many new stars, and after a long time, life also followed. Many stars that established civilization still feel the echoes from the old universe. There was a legend that if an individual whispered a particular god's name and wished dearly, offering the most precious thing they had in return, it would grant them one wish. These wishes could be as simple as having food and shelter for a day or as outlandish as making someone fall in love with them or disappear from existence. This legend can be traced back to when sentient life forms developed ways of passing down verbal and non-verbal knowledge. The story comes in different versions, but the main message remains: one wish, one sacrifice, by one life. Strangely enough, this particular god received a series of peculiar wishes from different individuals across various stars in the new universe. Nameless god: “What is your wish?” Lucy: “To be reborn in a fantasy world with you as my father who loves me dearly until the end of my natural life.” Nameless god: ┬─┬ノ(ಠ_ಠノ) Mike: “To relive my life with you as my lovely little sister.” Nameless god: (╯°□°)╯( ┻━┻) Gabby: “Mom.” Nameless god: ┻━┻ ︵ ¯_(ᴼل͜ᴼ)_/¯ ︵ ┻━┻ Nameless god: “Who is whispering my name to these people across the universe, spreading it like a common cabbage on the roadside!? Come out, and I promise I will not do anything ungodly. Let's talk about life, hmmm!!!” Unbeknownst to this god, there was more to his myth than he knew. +++++ Schedule: 1-2 chapters per week on Saturdays UTC-4 or GMT-4 at 2000 hrs|| GMT+8 at 0800 hrs +++++ Please do leave a paragraph or chapter comment in any form before you go.

Literature can bring joy and freedom; it doesn't need to be bound by so many constraints. Words alone can create a sensory world. Therefore, we need not diminish the joy of words with lofty responsibilities; doing so would only cause us to lose our happiness and freeze our thoughts. The purpose of this novel is clear: we need the thrill, as only those who are physically and mentally healthy can handle it. This novel features a collection of intriguing and frightening stories. These stories are collectively referred to as "ghost" stories. However, the "ghost" here has nothing to do with superstition; it represents an attitude—an attitude of entertaining literature and personal relaxation, using ghosts merely as a metaphor for people. So, enjoy these words filled with freedom, passion, and a carefree spirit.

(some chapters are r18) Who would have thought that holding an arranged marriage benefits me so much? I have been planning to get out of my own family, and thanks to the head lady of the house who always wanted to kick me out after my mother passed away. "I have to live with you? I don't want to be under any other people's rules anymore." "No, you will live freely as you want. You don't have to do anything if you don't want to." "I don't want to be involved with your business...I don't know exactly what you do, Mr. Kaiza, but I don't want to be involved with anything like my father does." "I understand." I pick up the glass in front of him and try to raise it, but he puts his hand on it to cover the top of the glass. "Hmph." I make a sound and pout my lips I put my upper lip on top of the glass, touching his finger and bottom lip at the outside edge, and raise the glass as the liquid runs through his fingers into my mouth. And I look at him. His eyes are slightly startled, but I barely see it through the red light on him. He slightly pulls back his hand. "This girl..." He's mumbling. I lick the liquid on the edge of my mouth. "Yes, it's a deal." "Are you going to treat me well, Mr. Kaiza?" I speak vocally this time. What is this drink? "Yes." "Treat me nicely like your real fiancé, alright?" Suddenly, my head is too heavy to carry on my neck. He uses his hand to hold my face before I hit the table. And he moves himself to sit next to me. "You are my real fiancé." He gently touches my hair and puts it behind my ear. I barely open my eyes. "But first of all, I need to take care of the guys who kidnapped you here." And that is just the beginning of a significant change.
