Gods Walk Among Us

In the gritty streets of Kallzara, a small wayside town where light barely touches the alleys, Revan Sorna survives by his wits—and by magic long forbidden. With the help of a shadowy tome found in forgotten ruins beneath the city, Revan can summon shadows to deceive and distract, but such power comes with a price: shadows cannot be created from nothing, and his own is lazy and stubborn, testing his patience at every turn. Revan’s partner in crime, Cassie, is a clever con artist with a talent for ice magic and a convincing lost-girl act. Together, they make a perfect team, surviving by picking pockets, pulling cons, and running from those who would see their kind dead or worse. Tonight’s target is an easy mark: a drunken sailor leaving The Golden Pig tavern. But when Revan’s swift theft is interrupted by a brutal punch, the simple job spirals into something far more dangerous—and far more personal. As dark secrets from the ruins threaten to surface and enemies close in, Revan and Cassie must rely on their skills, their magic, and each other to survive. But in a town where shadow magic is heresy and trust is a currency rarer than gold, survival might just mean losing everything.

The odds were never in his favor. He faced the impossible, bled for victories no one would remember, and walked paths meant to break men. But Peter doesn’t stop. He moves forward—through ash, through silence, through everything that should have ended him. He carries pain like armor and purpose like fire. Not because he believes in destiny— but because turning back was never an option. This is not a tale of heroes. It is the story of a man who endures. A man who keeps walking... even where gods do not. ___________________________ It’s a story about: - survival without instruction, - stillness that screams, - and what happens when you see too clearly — but too late. If you enjoy: - rich worldbuilding like G3, Tolkien or Sanderson, - atmospheric tension with sudden emotional weight, - characters who observe more than they speak, - or the tone of Shadow of the Colossus, Metro, or The Last of Us... ___________________________ what to expect: - no harem (sorry for some of you) - vulgar language and scenes(text only) - power system simlar to one in SS - rather a long story, but I will try to make it interesting and with unexpected plot twists ___________________________ PS. discord server will be created at 1000 folowers :P

Not every love story has two hearts in it. Some are written by one, while the other doesn’t even turn the page. "Half of Us" is a collection of poetry for the ones who loved alone. For those who stayed when they should’ve left. For the ones who gave everything and got silence back. For the hearts that held on, even when they were the only ones holding. These poems are not about perfect love. They’re about the kind that aches quietly, smiles through pain, and writes verses in the dark for someone who’ll never read them. If you've ever been almost chosen, almost loved, almost enough— this book is for you.

In 1972, a groundbreaking discovery by Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen in genetic engineering, where they created the first transgenic organisms by inserting a resistance gene into an E. coli plasmid, sparked both immense scientific excitement and public backlash. While many hailed it as a monumental step forward, others protested, fearing humanity was "playing God." Amidst this controversy, Jeremy Karlson, a renowned paleontologist, recognized the profound potential of Boyer and Cohen's work. He saw it as a means to achieve something unprecedented: bringing dinosaurs back to life. Jeremy, accompanied by his wealthy step-brother Jake, who offered to fully fund the ambitious project, met with Boyer and Cohen. Jeremy revealed that during an expedition in Alaska, his team had discovered a perfectly preserved, 17,000-year-old juvenile dire wolf with intact organs, from which they successfully extracted degraded DNA. He believed that with Boyer and Cohen's expertise in transgenic technology, they could use this DNA, and by extension, potentially dinosaur DNA, to resurrect extinct creatures. Initially hesitant and skeptical of the audacious proposition, Boyer and Cohen were eventually swayed by Jeremy's unwavering confidence and the sheer magnitude of the idea. With Jake's financial backing and Jeremy's bold vision, they agreed to collaborate. The project, estimated to take four to five years, aimed to apply the nascent field of genetic engineering to the realm of paleontology, promising to reshape the world in an unimaginable way. As they left, Jeremy mused that when their success became public, the world would be irrevocably divided.
