A collection of short stories I have written during my time in college.

This is a story about a boy who fell in love with a tree… A story about powerful people changing the rulebook to stack the odds and line their pockets… I aim to create a story that will transport us so we get a glimpse of what that boy felt. The first 4 Chapters might be classified as a prologue depending on how you look at it. The boy quickly grows and the story really starts when the System arrives on Earth. I’m trying to achieve a relatively slow power progression and guide what we learn at a pace following the people in the story. There will be fighting but It’s more focused on base building. The MC is not all-powerful and all-knowing but he has some significant advantages. I’m trying to create a universe that makes sense in its own context. Much of what you will find, are my own world views, in a magnified way, as to make it for interesting fiction. The story took a life of its own when I started to write and I’m really happy with it. Not all of the tags I have marked will immediately be applied. There is stuff planned for far in the future such as the Sci-fi tag. There might be some cursing and gore but it is not very often.

El libro probablemente se trate más en la historia entre los personajes y contacto de corazón a corazón entre los protagonistas. La trama del mundo seria como un papel secundario pero quiero tomarlo con seriedad. Probablemente el rango de control que tendré del libro hacerca de la trama será algo descontrolada por la disparidad de poder entre los villanos Principales. probablemente le daré mucho poder al protagonista pero dudo que sea suficiente para que siga con vida. así de problematico es el mundo que deseo fabricar en esta historia. verdad no tengo ganas de hacer una sinópsis. solamente catalogare las tags para los interesados; Villano, Harem, romance, Reencarnación, sistema. R18 entre otros. si tienes una sugerencia para la sinopsis dila. advertencia puede ser o puede que no ser una historia cliché o puede ser única de su tipo. La portada no es de mi propiedad. posiblemente lo saque de internet o inteligencia artificial solo le hice pequeños cambios.

Xavier and his brother, Klaus, must do everything in their prowess to put an end to the resurgence of the various evil gods and lunatics that endanger the lives of the normal citizens of the society. Churches of Gods, transcenders, prophets, and angels of the lord can be both allies and enemies in this legendary tale that delves into the peak of mystery, mysticism, and Lovecraftian horror!! Warning: 1) CHAPTERS ARE USUALLY EXTREMELY LONG. DON'T BE SURPRISED if U CONSTANTLY SEE {2k to close to 4k plus words} 2) A Slow Paced Novel yet extremely fast paced, read to understand what I meant by that. 4) Read for the lore, realistic character interactions, mysticism, love craftian horror, slice of life, world building, mystery and mind blowing plot twists. And finally... You won't be seeing any grand aspirations from the beginning. So if ur looking for a fast paced clichè novel then don't bother reading this. We have a lot of them around here...just enough to satisfy ur lower quality urge. Note: Extremely Important. Give it at least five chapters before coming to any conclusion. The first few chapters are rather slow paced. just an advice from my side if you don't hope to miss on am upcoming masterpiece. But if ur the type looking for a fast paced progression based novel. Then you can check out this progression masterpiece: Global Awakening: I Can Manipulate Destiny. But if you are willing and can wait for at least five chapters to get a ride unlike never before seen on this platform. Well then sit tight and prepared to be blown off your feets. Also for Advanced chapters!! You can all check out the chapters on Royal Road!! Thanks a lot. Oh also less I forget, update rates will be very slow. Being fifteen and in my last year of senior secondary school, I have got a lot of workload on my table. So I guess the more support I get, the better I can strive to write more chapters.

There was once a being revered as a god in a universe with a trillion stars. How many of these stars could sustain life was unknown, but this universe no longer exists. When that universe disappeared, another took its place. It sprouted many new stars, and after a long time, life also followed. Many stars that established civilization still feel the echoes from the old universe. There was a legend that if an individual whispered a particular god's name and wished dearly, offering the most precious thing they had in return, it would grant them one wish. These wishes could be as simple as having food and shelter for a day or as outlandish as making someone fall in love with them or disappear from existence. This legend can be traced back to when sentient life forms developed ways of passing down verbal and non-verbal knowledge. The story comes in different versions, but the main message remains: one wish, one sacrifice, by one life. Strangely enough, this particular god received a series of peculiar wishes from different individuals across various stars in the new universe. Nameless god: “What is your wish?” Lucy: “To be reborn in a fantasy world with you as my father who loves me dearly until the end of my natural life.” Nameless god: ┬─┬ノ(ಠ_ಠノ) Mike: “To relive my life with you as my lovely little sister.” Nameless god: (╯°□°)╯( ┻━┻) Gabby: “Mom.” Nameless god: ┻━┻ ︵ ¯_(ᴼل͜ᴼ)_/¯ ︵ ┻━┻ Nameless god: “Who is whispering my name to these people across the universe, spreading it like a common cabbage on the roadside!? Come out, and I promise I will not do anything ungodly. Let's talk about life, hmmm!!!” Unbeknownst to this god, there was more to his myth than he knew. +++++ Schedule: 1-2 chapters per week on Saturdays UTC-4 or GMT-4 at 2000 hrs|| GMT+8 at 0800 hrs +++++ Please do leave a paragraph or chapter comment in any form before you go.
