Last Man Of The Apocalyspe

A forgotten kingdom. A sacred vow. A journey home across centuries. Centuries ago, the fate of a young Vietnamese noblewoman became entwined with the rise and fall of the Champa kingdom. Her name was Thanh Mai—a girl of silken grace and iron spirit, whose heart beat with forbidden love and a fierce loyalty to truth. Her story was nearly lost… until one man dared to follow its echo. In modern-day California, Kien Quoc—a quiet Vietnamese-American engineer—receives his father’s dying wish: return to Vietnam and uncover the roots of their family’s past. His journey leads him into the heart of central Vietnam, where sacred towers sleep beneath moss and myth, and where the memory of Champa lingers in song, stone, and silence. Guided by dreams and joined by Sari, a Balinese journalist equally devoted to Southeast Asia’s lost civilizations, Kien stumbles upon a revelation that challenges history, identity, and the very idea of nationhood. Along the way, they unearth a secret chamber beneath the holy valley of My Son—and within it, a truth that changes everything. Told in sweeping, poetic prose, Last Song of the Nation weaves together two timelines: the fall of Champa through the eyes of a young woman trapped between war and destiny, and a contemporary quest for heritage, love, and healing. At its core lies a question that haunts generations: What do we owe the past, and what can it still teach us today? This is a novel of memory and migration, of culture and compassion, of spirits that never die and songs that still carry across the wind.

'I will be posting this on Royal Road'. * * _______________Description________________ Anthony Robinson, a humble and hard-working cook, finds himself entangled in the clutches of a notorious mafia family. His ex-girlfriend, with whom he lives, not only cheats on him but also abandons him to deal with her children. She doesn't even bother to hide her indiscretions while they share a home, spending her days with the mafia boss Alexander's enforcer. To make matters worse, Anthony's true love has broken up with him because he couldn't meet her expectations and failed to improve their relationship. He even squandered his second chance at life, neglecting their son Nick and letting go of the happy family they once had. Now, his mental health is deteriorating, and his passive nature and laziness prevent him from finding any happiness or seizing the opportunities that lie ahead. One fateful day, Anthony wakes up to the harsh reality of being a disposable pawn. He finds himself staring down the barrel of a gun held by someone he once trusted-a person who epitomizes betrayal. Will he survive this dangerous predicament and reclaim his life? *______________________Description______________*_*_______________________*

Lior, a 17-year-old cartographer, is known as "The Eye of the Real," a gift and a curse that allows him to perceive fissures in the fabric of existence. Abandoned at the age of seven by his own family—the "Protectors of Light"—in the Whispering Wastelands, Mael (his birth name, now almost forgotten) was stigmatized by a strange spiral mark on his palm, the manifestation of his connection to the Void. His abandonment was a forced sacrifice due to a forbidden experiment by the Arcons—mage-engineers who control the weave of reality—that fractured the veil between planes. Lior, marked to "seal" these fractures, became trapped on the edges of existence, disconnected from the normal flow of mortals. Armed with the Memory Quill, a stylograph whose inkwell contains ether ink, Lior navigates the fractured realms. With each stroke, the quill allows him to draw reality paths to teleport through cracks and to make his drawings gain temporary consistency. However, each use comes with a devastating price: Lior "forgets" fragments of his own life—memories of his family and his dreams—a sacrifice that pains him more than nothingness itself. His internal conflict centers on this painful paradox: he must sacrifice his past to save reality, but fears losing himself in the process. His mission is clear and desperate: the nothingness, a primordial force that feeds on dissolution, is consuming the realms at an alarming rate. To stop this collapse, Lior must infiltrate the Wandering Tower, a flying fortress of the Arcons that peregrinates over the fractured realms. His objective is to steal the Heart of the Real, a living crystal that anchors and sustains all existence. In his journey, Lior faces the Ethereal Guardians, manifestations of the Void that pursue those who dare to defy nothingness. His ability as "The Eye of the Real" allows him to evade them and manipulate his own perception to survive. As he progresses, Lior discovers that the one responsible for the initial fracture is the Archicar, a renegade mage-engineer who now seeks to extract the Heart of the Real to rewrite reality in his image, creating a new order under his control. The infiltration of the Wandering Tower is a test of ingenuity and sacrifice. Lior must navigate the Arcons' arcane defenses, confront their creations, and finally, confront the Archicar. During this confrontation, Lior is forced to use the Memory Quill in increasingly extreme ways, losing crucial memories and battling the Song of the Void, the constant hum of nothingness that threatens to consume his mind. In the climax, Lior must make a heartbreaking decision: will he sacrifice his last cherished memory to gain the power needed to stop the Archicar and restore the Heart of the Real? The battle is not only for the existence of the realms but for Lior's own identity. In the end, he manages to stop the Archicar and stabilize the Heart of the Real, but the price is immense. Reality begins to heal, the cracks slowly close, and the fractured realms find a new balance. Lior, now a true "guardian of the real," has saved existence, but his mind is a blurred canvas of lost memories. However, the scar on his palm, his connection to the Void, is no longer a stigma of abandonment, but a symbol of his sacrifice and purpose. He has found new meaning in his existence in protecting the realms, accepting that, although abandoned by his past, he has forged a future for all. His journey as the last guardian continues, navigating the edges of reality, always vigilant against the threat of the Void.

This entire story takes place in a forest — a very dangerous forest, a dark empire. The name of that forest is Omariya Footsteps. In this forest, there are many ancient tribal human groups. Some of them include the Naazi, Moji, Dhrunari, Ekkoru, and many others. Among them, the Naazi are a very powerful tribe with a large army. Across the whole of Omariya Forest, the Naazi hold dominance because of their strong military. Next to them are the Moji, who are always looking to conquer the other tribes. But they never dare to mess with the Naazi — they fear their army. Far away from all of this, there is a military base. It never interferes, but it watches from a distance. That is the current situation in the Omariya Footsteps. These forests — the Omariya Forest — are located in the Congo Basin of South Africa. But then… something happens. Because of certain people, the Naazi army is destroyed. The once powerful Naazi tribe becomes weak. And then, one man, who comes from outside the forest, arrives to save them. This is the story. There are many interesting things in this story — like how the Naazi army was destroyed, why that man came, and what the hidden forces did. This story takes a new turn from a place in India — the Milton Research Center (MRC) located in Mumbai. This organization conducts research on many things related to the forest. One day, they discover something in that forest — something that completely changes the history of the Omariya Footsteps. The key person in this story is Virat — he works in the Milton Research Sector. Riya, who also works there, plays an important role. Because of these two people, the story of the Naazi tribe changes forever.

Humanity teetered on the precipice of oblivion, a mere whisper in the winds of a world consumed by an unlikely alliance. Dragons, goblins, demons, angels, jinn, and every manner of creature imaginable had conspired, their diverse hatreds uniting in a singular, terrifying goal: the utter annihilation of humankind. From a once-thriving civilization, only two remained – a brother and his sister, the last embers of a dying flame. Their bodies were weak, their numbers few, yet within their hearts burned an unyielding desire for vengeance, a desperate hope to reclaim what was lost. This is the story of their fight, a tale of two against a world.

When the apocalypse struck, Hill was certain his life was over. And he was right. Yet, through his unfortunate demise, Hill found himself alive again. The "apocalypse" wasn't an end, but a gateway to something far grander and more sinister. Transported to another world, Hill is now forced to fight for survival and prove his worth. But for what reason? Only time will tell.

In the deepest cavern below the world, the Blackbaast holds many Noble Houses. For Artemis of the Lunastre Family, Nobility is more of a curse than a blessing. If he weren't from such a prominent House, he could easily obscure his defect. He would have no need to keep the Spirit he contracted with a secret, and he certainly wouldn't have to fight for his own survival, spirited to a strange city of monsters by the whims of Fate. This is the story of many figures who are puzzle pieces of an inevitability, something long-fated, mysteries that scream their threats to emerge from their abyssal cavern. Shadows tremble in the depths, encompassed worlds obscuring the many dangerous secrets of history. Might they be unraveled, all ways of life would be threatened. But to climb higher requires risks, to seek the light requires a Gambit of Lifetimes. Only when one determines themselves capable of risking it all, can all prosper. This is the tale of a Crownless Prince, of the Last of Lords. [+++] Cover by @lqbtae.

Huh… how long has it been? I’ve forgotten who I am. After those monsters invaded from nowhere, there was no one left to fight. Some people gained special abilities like me, but they all died. It’s been 200 years—I’m the last survivor of humanity. I’ve killed countless monsters in my life. Beasts, dragons, even the Dragon King. I’ve been fighting like a dog for eternity, the only human left in this world. But there’s one thing humans can never overcome—emotion. In the end, lost in despair… I killed myself.

In a decaying future where reality is held together by ancient, invisible threads, the world relies on a mysterious force known as the Loom to maintain the Laws of existence. Every cycle, thousands are Chosen—dragged into the Vestige Layer, a fragmented nightmare realm where survival unlocks power and the Laws of the universe become weapons. But when Cael Ren, a street-born orphan from the industrial underbelly of New Kaelstrom, is Called, something goes wrong. The Loom tries to erase him. Instead, it fractures. Marked by a cracked crescent sigil and denied a Law, Cael awakens in the Vestige not as a Chosen, but as something unwritten—Threadless. His presence distorts the rules, defies the system, and draws the attention of forgotten horrors that remember a time before the Loom existed. Now, hunted by Lawbound abominations, distrusted by survivors, and stalked by an ancient presence whispering through his blood, Cael must unravel the secrets of his own origin—and the truth behind the so-called “Last Law” that even the gods tried to forget. Because the Loom is failing. And the last thread might be him.

The Second World War ended not in fire, but in compromise. A fragile peace was forged between the United States, the Soviet Union, and the Third Reich after Germany conquered most of Europe. With the formation of a United Nations dominated by four veto powers—USA, USSR, TR, and UK—the world avoided mutual destruction. But beneath this uneasy alliance, a new war brews: not for land or ideology, but for superiority of the human race itself. In the ashes of the old war, the Third Reich unveils Eric, a being born and bred in a laboratory—faster than bullets, stronger than tanks, and presented as the "true potential of the Aryan race." As panic ripples across the globe, the U.S. rushes to respond. Led by brilliant scientist Natalie, the CIA initiates Project Liberty, transforming returning war hero Logan into the American Sentinel—a patriotic symbol of hope in a world sliding toward chaos. In the East, the USSR crafts its answer: Nikolai, a guilt-ridden airman haunted by his past, is reborn through a pain-fueled transformation into the Red Guardian—a reluctant savior torn between duty to his nation and love for his family. As these superpowered icons rise, so do the shadows behind them: Greta, Eric's manipulative handler, schemes to rule the Reich as his empress. Rebecca, Logan’s estranged wife, seeks a life untouched by war’s long reach. Boris, a Soviet general, treats Nikolai as little more than propaganda. And hidden in the Arctic ice lies a secret that predates even Eric—the First Superman. When a global summit descends into fear and threats, and world leaders start falling mysteriously, it becomes clear that peace was only a pause. Eric seizes power in Germany and launches a new wave of conquest—first in the East, then West—threatening to turn the Earth into his empire. Caught in a three-way war between fascism, communism, and democracy, Logan and Nikolai must confront not only each other, but the deeper truth: Are they heroes of their nations, or prisoners of their flags? In the ruins of Moscow, as Eric stands poised to conquer all, the final battle will decide more than the fate of the world—it will determine what it means to be human in an age of gods.

Long gone was the age of the gods… Long gone are those tales that lived through time and defied fate itself… Olympus has fallen, and the pantheon crumbled, like a temple with no pillars or a home that no longer served its purpose. The last ballad has been sung, and glory withered like a dying flower on the incoming winter. Fire, ash, and blood reigned supreme when the secret was revealed. The vulture and the owl—two opposites, the different sides of the same coin, rivals who defied the common status quo of “once an enemy, will always be enemies.” But what if love all of a sudden came at them? Piercing through their souls that even the goddess of love’s prowess could never fathom such a circumstance. The war and wisdom—the deities who were deemed too similar yet too different at the same time. What if those stories about them were nothing more than figments of a mortal’s imagination? What if the character was no more—the loathing gone, and what remained was an unexpected understanding towards each other? Ares and Athena—what if something sparked between them and defied the order of Olympus?

Two years had passed on earth since the start of the awakened era. Everyone on planet earth experienced the same thing, they were all teleported to another world. And after some time everyone came back, stronger and smarter, to this new world that awaited them. Everyone except from one, he didn't come back for 2 years, but for him it was an unimaginable amount of time. Now he came back without many memories of this world. ------------- First time writting guys, if you have any critic please let me know.
