The Vast tree realm is breaking apart, billions of lives are fleeing to the void in a bid for survival. Experience many cultivators struggle strife on the path to immortality, a family's plight, a demon beast faced with extinction, reincarnated Gods, and the many races final bid for survival. All creatures seek survival but few ever achieve it for we are all mortal and can't avoid the inevitable, so we seek to prolong life or go down in history, to not do so is simply suicide (The introductions chapters are simply to start off the story, the main cast will be introduced post introductions). will try to avoid repetitive things but sometimes it may happen like for locations, names of factions and goals, and the obligatory cultivation ranks. This story will be slow paced. updates erratic And MC will be absolutely insane... Well depending on who you see as Mc. Finally have 20+ chapters after like a year x.x average word count per chapter 2k- 2.4k. now 3k. Idk how people do it to write so much every day. ........ Tue, April, 11 - 2023 Took my uhhh long lazy break cause im lazy, but im going to start writing the next 40 chapters which will be the power introductions of the MAIN cast for the next part of our story. So basically the children are not the main cast starting off the story (thats the parents job) but over time they will grow and take center stage over them, and hopefully if I do this right I will create a bunch of different main characters some of which you WILL hate others you might love, and some you will be indifferent about. I'm not trying to make every character lovable or a straight up villain because everyone has different views in the world of what they value, seek, and how they see the world. So if you have a character you really like just know they won't always be center stage because this story is more about how everyone is their own main character and how that affects the world around them. As for the pacing of the story please feel free to tell me if its to slow or if I failed to explain something in a comprehensive way. (Don't complain about slow updates tho thats my one bad feature that I struggle with) CURRENTLY UNDER THE FINAL RE-WRITE.

[Mature content. No rape] ____________________ "Mr. Archer!" She hurried her footsteps after the cop, who seemed to have already memorized the way out of the small two-story house. "It's Adrien, not Archer," he said, not bothering to turn around and look at her as he turned the door knob. "Fine." She rolled her eyes. "We need to talk, " she said, following him out of the house and closing the door behind her. "I had enough time to spend with a dunderhead like you," she heard him say, and she fumed. "How dare you?!" She fisted her palm furiously as she saw him walk past the little gate. "You son of a chameleon!".... ________ In a world where mythical creatures like werewolves, vampires, and elves exist alongside humans, a long-standing war has left humans living in fear and captivity.

Another great war awaits, but will she be able to avert it? Second iteration of the Knight's Fate saga chronologically speaking. Yes I'm starting from the second because the first was an utter failure when I tried to write it, it just didn't fit the mood of a fantasy novel unlike this one. Though don't worry this doesn't mean you can't enjoy this one before I write the first. This is the first story I've actually published so I appreciate any feedback, be it good or bad just let me know what you think.

Deep in the Void a universe called the Dream Universe made up of planets called the Realms. A place where all those who cultivate and who strive to ascend into Cosmic God status is the goal. Here the Dream Universe is governed by a Cosmic being known simply as the World. The World crowns kings to rule and chooses only those with the potential to join the Primordial regime. Every hundred years each who are crowned are given something called the King's Test. Since the World does not personally take part in this test they summon a champion from the Realms with the same potentials as the Kings. They are King Slayer warriors with strong power and skill chosen to either die showing a king's potential, or kill the king to make way for a new one. This particular test is different. This is an eradication of King's who have abused power and caused strife among the realms erupting into a civil war. The newest King Slayer is one who is not only powerful, but carries a Thread of Necessity with a destiny to bring great change to the Realms. All the World wants is for the wicked Kings to fall and clean the slate. The King Slayer wants power and freedom. But both don’t realize how different this Test will be. Author Note: First volume I throw you into the story. I wrote it where it builds and the world around it builds as it goes along. You learn the back story of the Slayer in volume 2. I wanted to stand out and immerse you into the world I’m creating.

The cries of pain, the echo’s roar, Fade into silence evermore. The world, once bright with stars untold, Now fades to nothing—black and cold.
