It's a long story, it's still long even when I shorten it. So let me tell you his story. Once upon a time, there's an ordinary man who lived in a peaceful world. Where everyone could do something they do without any hindrance. He is reaching 28 years old and working in a ordinary company. Completely ordinary until one day, he died by getting hit by a car. ( If he doesn't die, how did this story happened? ) He thought that's the end and succumbed to the ethereal dark and calmness. Then suddenly there's something waking him up even though he can't feel nothing. When he opened his eyes, unfamiliar ceiling greet him. A apartment ceiling, no something more like a suite as the details and furniture around his room looked expensive. At first it was confusing and after a long thought on what happened. He got to know that he got transmigrated into the novel he used to read. A new world filled with adventure, excitement, magic, and fantasy. But he doesn't want to get involved in any of that. He wants to enjoy his new life. Do something he can't do before. But everything didn't go as he planned. A few years later, this beautiful world got attacked by an entity who claimed to be a god. Even the overpowered protagonist got defeat in one hit. The world got split in half just by a gesture from his finger. Desperation and despair washed over his face. Maybe there's a reason he got transmigrated there. It's all because of his abilities, adaption. Using that abilities, he tried to fight these entity. During that fight, he able to save one person but failed to save another one person. Even though he win after a long fight. Everything already been destroyed. Until, in front of him appeared a holographic blue screen. With one word attached on it. [ RESTART ]

Elena had always sought adventure, yearning to explore the world and embrace all it had to offer. But that dream seemed impossible due to her very existence. Her birth was a miracle, an anomaly that defied nature. She was something that shouldn't exist, and she had to keep that secret hidden. Until one day, an opportunity arose: the chance to enter the academy. At 18 years old, she finally took that step, and it was there that she met him. He was breathtakingly beautiful, in a way that made Elena question how anyone, especially a man, could possess such beauty. She found herself captivated by him, unable to look away. "Elena, will you be my mate?" he asked, holding her tightly and gazing into her obsidian eyes. "Yes," Elena replied, her heart racing with excitement. She couldn't believe it had taken him so long to ask. But with that single word, "yes," she—a being that shouldn't exist—had fallen into the hands of another. The world had no idea what he was. He wasn't a werewolf, human, or vampire, but he was no less powerful. What could possibly go wrong? What was he? All she knew was his name: Dave Atlas.

Someone once remarked that economic inequality tends to perpetuate itself, with wealthy individuals increasing their wealth while those with fewer resources struggle to make ends meet. In simple terms: the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. This phenomenon can be observed across various societies and historical periods, often driven by several factors. But this story is not about socioeconomic disparity... Maybe some of you have experienced this and felt the weight of such imbalances personally. Perhaps one of you could step up and lead the transformation? Then...

In the year 2045, when humanity stands at the crossroads of civilization, a hidden war is being staged for the fate of species. Luo Lin, who was born as a military doctor in the special forces, met Lin Yue, a biotechnology researcher with the special ability of "seeing life", while tracking down a series of bizarre biological mutation events. The encounter between the two uncovers a shocking secret that is enough to change the fate of mankind: the quantum consciousness technology and mysterious "evolution factor" across the globe are actually the testing ground of civilization laid by alien civilizations. In this world where technology and mutation coexist, human society is divided into "transcendentals" who pursue digital immortality and "primitives" who aspire to genetic evolution. When the evolutionary factor spreads out of control, the quantum consciousness network is invaded by mysterious signals, and human civilization is in an unprecedented crisis. Luo Lin and Lin Yue must find a balance between maintaining humanity and transcending evolution, opening up a third path for humanity beyond the seemingly inevitable trajectory of fate. This is a story of choice, a story of perseverance or change in the face of the unknown, and a story of love and hope that can transcend death and evolution. When the spark of civilization is blown by the wind of fate, where will we go?

The small town of HeathCroft was well-known for its family of mysterious billionaires, the Zuris. Lauriel and James Zuri, the parents, were well-liked philanthropists who would visit an orphanage every few years and adopt a child to welcome into their family. All the children previously adopted by the Zuri's had something special about them-some talent or potential that made them deserving of a new home. The people of HeathCroft believed that the Zuris were doing a noble act by giving these children a chance to exercise their potential and let them be. However, when the newest arrival, Adrianne Zuri, joined the family, it raised a couple eyebrows. Adrianne Zuri went against all the invisible requirements the townspeople believed you needed to complete to become a Zuri. She was illiterate, didn't seem to have any creativity in her blood, and was overall as ordinary as one could be in a family of extraordinary individuals. What the HeathCroftian townspeople didn't know was that Adrianne was by far the most peculiar member of the entire Zuri family. ---- credits to @NoelleAnn397 for the cover

This book/notebook is mainly going to be based about what i had seen from my perspective. This is me being in a situation or events where i had found it interesting and i just want to write it out. Don’t expect this to update weekly because more likely i would forget about writing here. Most of the events that happened is before the current situation but some happened during this time. On another note some of it will be my fail attempts at things.

At some point in the future, technology and human greed together pushed the world to the brink of collapse. Floating cities in the sky became the refuge for elites, while the surface world turned into ruins, leaving only the remnants of humanity struggling to survive. “Stardust and Memories” unfolds in such a broken future. The book tells the story of Eno, a once-hopeful scientist who lost his beloved fiancée, Aelia, in an accident, along with his faith in creating a better future for humanity. Aelia’s death not only altered the course of his life but also plunged him into endless regret and pain. His only hope is to use a mysterious device—the Memory Recaller—to return to the past and change that fateful moment, saving Aelia’s life. However, the price of this journey is far heavier than he ever imagined. “Stardust and Memories” is not only a science fiction novel set in a future world but also a profound exploration of time, love, and redemption. As Eno continually seeks to reverse the past, he discovers that true salvation lies not in changing what has happened, but in how to face the present, how to endure loss, and how to choose a new path for the future. In this story, the coldness of technology intertwines with the warmth of human emotions, and the characters’ emotional conflicts become even more vivid against the backdrop of a bleak future. Whether it’s the undying love between Eno and Aelia or his partnership with Sena as they face an uncertain future together, every relationship carries the weight of human struggle and hope in the darkest of times. “Stardust and Memories” explores the passage of time, the irreversibility of memory, and the resilience and courage humans display when faced with the unpredictability of fate. We all have moments when we wish we could change the past, but this book reminds us that sometimes, the real strength lies not in returning to the past but in how we embrace the present and choose to face the future. This book is dedicated to those who seek hope in the midst of pain and find their way forward through loss. It is my hope that Eno’s story will resonate with a part of the reader’s heart, reminding us that every moment of loss is the starting point for our journey into the future.

A false prophecy, a conspicuous birth, a sinister ritual and a wholehearted sacrifice. These were the elements that set the Cosmic Gears in motion of this world. It all relied on the variables, Lucien Alaric and Mikaela Howell. Having had a warm childhood was something they were always proud of, at least until they unveiled the illusion of this false happiness. Their moment of joy was apparently measured and limited. “The truth will be revealed to you when you awaken... Believe nothing but what you have witnessed and judged yourselves as the truth... Your enemies are closer than you think... Trust no one!” This were the words the children were left with. Their parents' dying words. Not words for children to live with, right? Clip sneak peek~! "What do you feel?" she asked. "Nothing..?" Mikaela responded, holding his sword tight at hand. In truth, to him, it was no different than cutting down a training puppets head. A tedious endeavor. "Good, you should spare no feeling to enemies, my child," a clear serene voice sounded, like the sweet whisper of the devil. In the air was the fishy rustic iron smell, the scent of human blood. Not just a splash of it but a mass graveyard pool of it. The heavy smell of death. Mikaela stood in the middle of this with calm eyes. The killing intent in his eyes seemed to have become deeper and richer. Lucien is born a mage while Mikaela is born a martial artist. They have distinctly opposing personalities and would rather stay away from each other, but destiny has other plans. They have to unite in the face of the upcoming trials of fate. One loss, spells death to both of them! No compromise! The sacrifice made to protect them drives them to face each day while vengeance motivates them to grow stronger. What kind of future shall they pave in the veil of uncertainty and hidden truth? While Lucien and Mikaela walk different paths, they ultimately have the same destination. The Apex!
