Cloud

“Come not between the Dragon and his Wrath.” — William Shakespeare The year was 2140, and Earth was nothing but a distant memory. Humanity now drifted through the galaxies aboard colossal ARKs, massive skyships that served as the last bastions of civilization. Yet, these ARKs were more than just floating cities; they were humanity’s last containers, preserving what remained of their species. A century before Earth's final collapse, humanity discovered a gateway to a realm known as Eternia — a fantastical world straight out of myth and legend. Reaching this realm required more than just advanced technology; it demanded a complete departure from the physical body and entry into a mysterious process known as the Dream Weave. In the present day, Cloud lived aboard ARK NO. 427, where he had been training from a young age to step into the Dream Weave. He was a standout among his peers, excelling in every tasks that came his way. Everything seemed to be on track for him — until the pivotal day of the Class Selection process.

Every 100,000 years, a holy being is born, foreshadowed by rain in a place of death. Legend believes killing this sacred entity grants one a unique, ultimate ability. However, a million years have passed without the birth of a single holy being, and no one knows what became of the previous ones. There are whispers that the royal families have slain them all and that the gods are punishing humanity—condemning them to suffer in an era where holiness has lost its power. The oracles have lost sight, and demons and the undead have begun their conquest. The youngest prince of the Valgulas Empire, Emrey, finds himself amidst this chaos. As demons and the undead conquer lands, desperation drives humans to embrace demonic powers in a bid to obliterate their foes. Ulrik stands on a battlefield where humans and non-humans clash in a brutal fight for survival. Though humanity is united, the end looms near. But just as the war reaches its breaking point, the heavens open, and the rain begin to fall. “Salvation!” the people cry. “The gods have finally heard our prayers!” Yet, as they rejoice in newfound hope, the rain gives way to a river of blood flowing into the abyss. In a world where the divine is both a curse and a salvation, Emrey must navigate treacherous alliances, confront his own ambitions, and ultimately face the path that could lead him to become a God—or the harbinger of further destruction. Rain of Divinity is the first book in the Beyond the Clouds series. Each book will have 600 chapters.

As the curtain rose on the interstellar dream streaming battle, a legendary journey that would the entire interstellar world began. During the Beast Summoning Exam, while other competitors summoned common interstellar pets to engage in standard battles with dream beasts, Lily closed her eyes and took a deep breath. In an instant, a gigantic flying beast appeared out of nowhere, casting a shadow that seemed to cover the entire sky. With its wings spread wide, it looked as though it could tear the universe apart, and with each beat, the winds and clouds shifted. The interstellar audience was left speechless, their gasps of amazement echoing through the air. Lily smiled gently, silently reciting an ancient verse: "The great roc rises with the wind, soaring to ninety thousand miles in a single day." Then, in the vast sea of stars, the mythical creatures Xuanwu and Tengshe emerged, their massive forms churning the waters as if telling the tales of ancient myths. Amidst the swirling clouds, the Azure Dragon weaved through them, sometimes summoning rain and clouds, nourishing the mysterious dream world.

The way of heaven is impermanent and ruthless. It embraces everything and is free from it. There is no good or evil, no right or wrong, no gratitude or resentment, no joy or sorrow. The way of immortals is the way, the way of demons is the way, the way of monsters is the way, and the way of Buddha is the way.

It was supposed to be a new beginning—fresh faces, towering mountains, and the promise of untamed horizons. But the world doesn’t always play fair. The snow-covered peaks held secrets, ancient whispers that pulled at the edges of reality. A frosted gaze, a frozen heart. A fleeting warmth that lingered, only to unravel. The air was heavy, the nights restless. I was unlucky. A quiet campus turned labyrinthine. Paths twisted into trails where footsteps vanished, and in the silence, shadows became more than just absence. Questions followed like echoes: What am I? What do I belong to? And why does the sky feel too close and too far all at once? A frostbite that never healed. A cliff's edge that wouldn’t let go. A hand reached out—divine or cruel? Each step forward pulled deeper into the unknown, where gods didn’t walk, but fragments of them did, fractured and wary, watching. The world isn’t broken; it’s just no longer whole. Beyond the mountains, among the clouds, lies a story unwritten, where reality bends and belief becomes the weight that anchors existence. But the question is simple: Can you bear the cold?

When you picture the apocalypse, the end of civilisation, what comes to mind? Maybe it’s a scorched earth, covered with craters and mushroom clouds from distant explosions. Perhaps it’s dilapidated camps full of hooligans and outcasts, murdering each other for sport. Possibly a nuclear winter, with mutated remnants of what used to be humans, reduced to mindless horrors. For our main character, however, the apocalypse is a mystery, waiting to be unraveled through exploration and survival.
