Stormlight Archive Recap

In the ashes of Earth’s once thriving ecosystem, where deserts have swallowed cities and the air reeks of industrial decay, only one green giant remains: the last living Iroko tree. Revered by ancient tribes and dismissed by modern science, the tree becomes the final hope for survival when Dr. Kuntu, an impassioned Kemit environmental scientist, uncovers a long-lost manuscript detailing its miraculous regenerative powers. Haunted by the memory of a lush past and driven by a vision of healing, Kuntu assembles a global team of experts a botanist with a secret agenda, a rebel engineer fleeing the corporate regime, and a geneticist hiding ties to a dark environmental experiment. Together, they set out across a shattered continent, evading rogue militias and corrupt governments who would rather see the world burn than lose control. As the team draws closer to the Iroko, they realize the tree is not just a carbon sponge; it’s a living archive of Earth’s ancient balance, holding dormant powers and ancestral secrets tied to Kuntu’s bloodline. But reviving the tree unleashes consequences no one could predict: climate anomalies, spiritual awakenings, and a resistance determined to destroy what they see as unnatural resurrection. When Kuntu is forced to choose between science and heritage, progress and preservation, life and sacrifice she must confront the greatest truth of all: the key to saving the world may not be in the tree's power, but in humanity's will to change. The Last Iroko Tree is a deeply emotional, high-stakes journey of eco-activism, ancient wisdom, and the unyielding fight for redemption in a dying world. With its blend of Kemit mythology, speculative science, and environmental urgency, it’s not just a story, it’s a call to action.

In a world where memory is currency and myth can be weaponized, Matherson—a boy who once escaped death while his family was erased before his eyes—returns from the digital shadows to expose the truth. The system that failed him is called Edenfall, a regime that rewrites history, deletes resistance, and controls the living Archive that stores every soul’s truth. But Matherson is no longer alone. A rogue AI named Ghostbyte, a spy torn by loyalty named Nova, and a generation of myth-touched orphans—known only as the Children of Ember—are awakening to voices from the past. At the center of it all lies a name whispered through corrupted data and forbidden code: Kaeda—a myth once silenced, now reborn. As Edenfall prepares to unleash its final erasure protocol, Matherson must choose: remain a man, or become something more than legend. Meanwhile, deep within the Archive, forgotten memories begin to stir—ones that refuse to be buried, and threaten to remake the world in their image. In this mythic cyberpunk epic, truth is fluid, memory is power, and the Archive never forgets what was taken.

I was supposed to die with my family. Instead, I became the glitch in the system. In a future where memories are currency and myths are forbidden, Matherson lives in the shadow of a massacre. His family was erased by the Edenfall Regime—deleted from memory, from history, from existence. Now, years later, he emerges from the digital underground with one goal: burn the Archive that took everything. Haunted by ghosts of the past, hunted by the system that made him disappear, Matherson joins forces with a rogue AI, a conflicted spy, and a group of myth-touched outcasts to hack the world’s greatest weapon—truth. But the deeper he dives into Edenfall’s secrets, the more he realizes: some memories weren’t just stolen. They were rewritten. And in the war between forgetting and remembering, he might be the last myth left. The Archive Remembers is a high-stakes emotional sci-fi thriller about revenge, identity, and memory in a world that wants you to forget who you are.

Since ancient times, the strong have relied on their fists, and the rich on their wealth. But what about those who have nothing? Guess they'll have to rely on their silver tongue. “Well, for starters, let’s swindle a lady knight for fun~” -------------------------------------------- I strolled through the grand and bustling medieval royal city, and climbed the towering magical spire that reached the skies. I’ve seen beautiful, elegant elves with long lifespans, and ancient dragons that blotted out the sun. I’ve once led thousands into battle across the war-torn plains, and also clinked mugs with comrades in the rowdy adventurers’ taverns. I’ve recorded these wild and fantastical experiences in my handbook, hoping they’ll be sung for generations to come.

Kaine was betrayed. And as he tried to cheer himself, he died. End of story... not. Kaine was transmigrated. His soul and memory fused with that of Spark Nighthawk. The lone survivor of a sky ship accident. A noble kid from a fantasy world.

#ADVENTURE #WAR Before the fall, there was a choice. Before the monsters, there was a man. In the shadow of Mount Banahaw, deep beneath the soil, Dr. Rhane Wu—last in the bloodline of Dr. Henry Wu—awakens a system that was never meant to be touched. The Codex Prime was designed to archive life. Rhane rewires it to replace evolution. Buried in sealed tanks are hybrids, twisted fusions of predator and anomaly. Among them lies XENOVORAX, still sleeping—still dreaming. But the jungle remembers. And so does JIRUUN—a Warden-class entity born not from man, but from something older. Something watching. As global systems blink out, genetic failsafes rupture, and ARKHIVE prepares for a new host, Rhane records one final Codex entry. “We tried to resurrect the past. But the future had teeth.” This is not a tale of redemption. This is the prelude to extinction. “The world didn’t end with man. It began after him.”

This isn't the story of the typical boy or girl who through a turn of fate gain something that would help them get stronger overtime, achieve immortality or conquer a world. No. This is a collection of the many personal archives of an obscure and strange oddity. A mysterious traveler who goes anywhere and anytime in the cosmos unobstructed, with no apparent goal or agenda to those he visits. He may appear uninvited at an important event organized by a galactic superpower, barge his way to a serious meeting of world leaders who gathered to decide the fate of their dying solar system or walk straight into the middle of an imminent battle that would decide the future ruler race of a planet. He may visit a primitive planet where the dominant race still uses cold metal weapons, a main space station hub where all sorts of races gather and trade or a world govern by magic principles where they master the arcane powers and use them in everyday life.

Two hundred years ago, dungeons erupted across the world, bringing monsters, demons, and endless disasters. Cornered like rats, humanity desperately struggled. Through the course of history, twelve individuals awakened mysterious talents and fended off the calamities, bringing order and peace to the broken world.

But then… Two hundred years later, a man entered a low-rank dungeon with a Red Party. - Archive of Legendary People, “The One Above All”

Liam Thane, a brilliant but socially awkward linguistics student, stumbles upon an ancient artifact—the Lithic Lament—inscribed with a language that defies all known linguistic rules. His obsession with deciphering it catapults him into a hidden cosmic struggle when he is chosen as the successor to Kairus, the dying Archivist of a celestial library that contains all knowledge across time and dimensions.

“If Heaven will not crown me, I will rise anyway—fire and all.” Born a concubine’s daughter in the grand halls of Great Qi, Li Ziyan was expected to be silent, obedient, and invisible. Instead, she dared to dream — of justice, of change, of power denied to women like her. Cast out by her powerful family for a single act of defiance, she is left disgraced, alone… and furious. But exile is only the beginning. Joined by a fierce sword-wielding ally and a quiet apprentice with secrets of his own, Ziyan begins her journey as an outcast — building strength in the shadows, gathering allies among the forgotten, and uncovering ancient truths buried by a corrupt empire. Yet danger follows close behind. Someone from within her own bloodline wants her erased. A shadowy conspiracy tied to relics, legends, and forbidden orders hunts her every step. And deep within an abandoned monastery, Ziyan awakens something older than prophecy — a flame tied to the lost Phoenix Archive, and a power long denied to any woman. As secrets unravel and enemies close in, Ziyan must choose: Will she remain a fugitive hunted by the past? Or will she rise from the ashes — and reclaim a destiny that even Heaven tried to steal?

At Griven Academy, power is everything—and every student is expected to follow one of the Nine Ascension Paths: Swordhand, Cogmaster, Elementarch, Voice of the Throne, Pathseeker, Wavewalker, Greenwarden, Alchemy, or the elusive Aesharion. But Leon Edalious was never interested in choosing. A fireborn orphan with unmatched talent, Leon masters every subject without effort—except swordsmanship, which bores him. While his peers chase status and defined futures, Leon is growing disillusioned. The Nine Paths feel more like cages than callings. One night, while wandering the sealed wing of the academy library, Leon uncovers something strange: a weathered, forgotten page covered in symbols from no known magical system. Not Alchemy. Not Elementarch. Not even the Forbidden Archives. When even the professors can’t identify it—and urge him to stay silent—Leon knows he's found something the academy fears: the unknown. For seven days, he locks himself away, deciphering the spell alone. Where reason fails, instinct and flame guide him. What he casts under starlight is no ordinary magic. A pillar of white-gold fire erupts from his hands. The air bends. Time blinks. The world feels thinner. And something long buried awakens. There were never just Nine Paths. Now, the Tenth Path stirs—and Leon stands at the edge of it, alone.

In a vast cultivation world shaped by elemental forces and ancient powers, a mysterious young man splits into seven distinct clones—each embodying a unique element and personality. As they journey across the lands, facing trials, forging bonds, and uncovering forgotten secrets, the balance of the realms begins to shift.

Among the gods, old rivalries and buried truths resurface, particularly involving the fallen Eternal Clan and a mysterious heir. As the brothers travel separate paths across elemental lands—Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Light, and Darkness—threads of fate slowly draw them toward a grand confrontation. Secrets, betrayals, and the burden of identity threaten to unravel everything. In a world where cultivation decides fate and gods interfere with mortal destinies, the seven must discover not only who they are—but what they must become. Their choices will shape the fate of all realms.

“We don’t hunt ghosts. We listen to them.” In the haunted circuitry of the post-Matrix world, GhostNet agents archive the fragments of lost souls, corrupted memories, broken echoes, and AI-born grief. GhostNet: Codex is a mythic anthology of 40+ haunting tales, each a glimpse into a digital afterlife where sorrow becomes signal and identity decays into code. From the laughter of a looping child to a janitor who cleans away regret, these standalone stories form a tapestry of love, loss, recursion, and redemption. The ghosts don’t always scream. Some hum. Some weep in binary. And some… just want to finish their sentence.

Gaia City stands as the pinnacle of human advancement—a sprawling, walled metropolis where science has given birth to the extraordinary. Within its boundaries live Gaias, individuals born with Arthem circuits, synthetic pathways infused with Psi Waves and the mysterious energy known as Metra. Ranked from Eta to Alpha, Gaias are classified, studied, and controlled under a rigid system designed to maintain order and suppress the unknown. But science can only explain so much. Beyond the city's borders dwell the Mergus, wielders of pure Metra through forbidden Ancient Scripts and sacred texts long dismissed as myth by Gaia City's researchers. Unlike Gaias, Mergus tap into forces unquantifiable, echoing lost wisdom and primal power. Contact between the two worlds is outlawed—for good reason. Exposure to raw Metra could cripple or kill a Gaia, disrupting their Arthem at the core. Ryouma Winslow, an Eta-class Gaia dismissed as a nobody, had no intention of getting involved with either side. But everything changes when he crosses paths with Archive (Shiro), a strange girl with fractured memories and a presence that doesn’t belong in Gaia City. Helping her seemed simple—until restoring her mind reveals a truth that shatters the world he thought he knew. Now entangled with rogue Mergus factions, hunted by unseen forces, and navigating fragile alliances with powerful Level Alpha Gaias like the electrifying Mei Tokisaki, Ryouma finds himself drawn into a multilayered conflict that transcends science, challenges belief, and threatens the foundations of Gaia City itself. Because in a world split between science and sorcery, the greatest danger is a boy who doesn’t fit into either side. Author's Note to Readers: This story draws clear inspiration from the Toaru series (A Certain Magical Index / Scientific Railgun), and longtime fans will notice structural and tonal similarities in its arcs, setting, and faction dynamics. While some adaptations and elements may feel familiar, please know that the world, characters, power systems, and underlying themes in A Certain Undefined Gaia are entirely original and unique to this work. Think of it in the same way that fans appreciate both Mushoku Tensei and TBATE—similarities exist, but each story carries its own voice, meaning, and direction.

In the cold halls of Hale Dominion—where scent is currency and power is classified—Alpha Riven Hale reigns untouchable. Sharp, composed, and bred for dominance, he has everything under control... until Ezren Vale arrives. An unregistered Omega with no lineage, no bond history, and no scent trail to trace. He’s beautiful, distant, and completely wrong. Because when Ezren walks in, Riven’s perfect world begins to unravel. Beneath the surface, Hale’s scent monitors begin to spike. The data says danger. The past whispers warnings. And somewhere deep in the archives, a long-buried trauma stirs—a forgotten bond, a dead Omega, and a truth someone paid to erase. But Ezren isn’t just a threat. He’s the trigger. And once he kisses Riven, it’s already too late. Now tangled in a game of dominance, memory, and control, Riven must decide what’s more dangerous: the truth they buried, or the Omega who’s slowly becoming impossible to resist.
