Old Sandcastle

Andres, a middle aged father, wakes up in an unfamiliar world. With an unfamiliar name, donning an unfamiliar face. A world where mana and technology co-existed. Where humanity did not solely rule the planet. Races and creatures thought once as myths now exist as they vie for control on the once conquered world. Amidst all this confusion, a sense familiarity. As if he has heard of this place, somewhere, at a different time and place. "So God has a name? What is it again? Arcus?...." "I feel like I've heard about you before... Rowan was it?" As the pieces start falling into place... "I can't believe I got isekai'd into my son's novel..." A fate surely worse than death. 'Remember son, it's darkest before dawn.'

In order to survive and return home, he will need to prepare himself. With his knowledge of what is to come he will tip the scales ever so slightly in his favour. But there's one small problem...

She's twenty-two-years-old. This is the most important things about her. In her twenties, she's supposed to be in the prime of her life. Graduated from university. Starting her first corporate job. Meeting the love of her life and getting married. That's what she was told would happen. On the contrary, she's just an ordinary woman. She's still in university after taking two gap years. She's never been to a job interview. And she's never been in a proper relationship. Never mind meeting the love of her life! No one told her how lonely and confusing her twenties would be. That she'd want things and be told that she's too old to still have her heads in the clouds. Written in first-person and in a diaristic perspective, this is the honest thoughts of a depraved twenty-two-year-old. A child stuck in the body of an adult. K-pop obsessed. Socially awkward introvert. Insatiable appetite for things she cannot have. Follow along while she dissects the happenings in her day to day. P.S. Don't expect any of this to be coherent or make any sense.

'Born In Ruins' was a forgettable read. That was the only way Emir could describe the pages of the novel he had found himself reincarnated into. The young man barely knew anything, but the snippets he had recalled only caused him unending sorrow... As what awaited him was only tragedy and an early death. It was a depressing story, one that he had planned to flip on its head—all for his salvation. — In this post-apocalyptic world, monsters fought humans and cyborgs in a battle for survival on a scale greater than ever before. A world where innocence and death were a luxury, where the line between heroes and villains was razor-thin. Within its expanse, 'Ancient Clans,' 'Galactic Federations,' 'Factions', and 'Corporations' presided over colossal 'Ruins' that dwarfed the concept of life itself. Survivors of the 'Third World War' continuously dove into the 'Old World,' 'Hunting' for 'Relics' in any ruin that they could find on Earth, desperate to reclaim 'Lost' technology, to stand a fighting chance against the inevitable. But it appeared that 'Earthkind' had met their match. …However, Emir would never allow that fate to take its course. — Emir unraveled layers of the tale and realized the truth of the world. He acquainted himself with the rules of this game before it fully consumed him. And now... no longer content with mere survival, he sought to dominate over the very fabric of this unforgiving universe. Emir shall rise from the pawn he once was, seeking to unravel the mysteries that hounded him. The boundaries of 'Aether,' his father’s disappearance, the noose hanging above his family’s head, and of course… his starless destiny, a fate he longed to control. This pursuit would earn him the epithet: "Prince Of The Fallen." ---------------------------------------------- *Tags: Reincarnation ;), Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Magical Realism, Academy (Volume 3), Romance, Apocalypse, {Anti-Hero.

A 27-year-old journalist from Old Wood Town, Eathen once met a girl named Maria. Time passed, and as they prepared for marriage, a tragedy, "The Old Wood Tragedy", occurred, which led the whole town into misery; half the residents died, and those who survived lost their minds. The only person able to recover was Eathen and the only person nowhere to be found was Maria. For three years, Eathen was in a coma. When he came out of the coma, the first thing that greeted him was a letter, a letter with Maria's name on it. He returned to the Old Wood, the letter asked him to. "The place where it all began shall be the place where it all ends; for every beginning must find its end, and every end gives rise to a new beginning."

A group of five young heroes march towards the Demon Emperor's Castle, the Last boss they needed to defeat to attain the world's peace and restore happiness and joy to all corners of the land. Leading this group is a human man with red hair and eyes that would seem to blaze under the light of the sun, on his back a Giant sword that would glow due to the high amount of holy power it possesses. Accompanying him are his four fellow heroes, teammates, and friends - A male beast-man with black hair loosely tied back and black eyes wielding a spear, its shaft as dark as the night and its blade forged from a silver dragon's scales. A male dwarf with short orange hair and brown eyes holding a battle axe, a weapon won from a previous great battle. A female elf with long silver-blond hair reaching past her waist and blue eyes, slung across her shoulder was her tribes' ancient bow, with a history said to have been passed down from the gods. And lastly, a man with snow white skin and hair that perfectly framed golden eyes, he was no less beautiful than the elf; one of his hands holding a staff and the other a book. Even from afar one would not fail to see the radiance and Pure Yang Ki this man would omit. (A/N: Ki is like energy more commonly seen in stories and martial-art practices. Yang is that white part in the yin-yang symbol. Ex. Pure Yang Ki = extremely clean positive/holy/good energy inside one's body) Than man is me Aster Vulmuir, and in contrast to my appearance and occupation... I'm a demon. (A/N: this is all fiction made inside my mind so there are no real facts in this story since I have no knowledge of anything about martial arts, and whatnot and it's all made up in my head whether it may be true or false doesn't matter cause its fiction) //Image Disclaimer: I do not own the cover picture// (i am debating on rewriting it to make it more sensible)

In the year 3000, the world has transformed, yet one presence remains—a thousand-year-old robot, the product of humanity’s peak technological era. Originally programmed for analysis and observation, he has spent centuries evolving beyond his creators’ intentions, haunted by memories of a past he is only beginning to understand. Each memory reveals a pivotal moment in his existence, a flashback to a time when he encountered human emotion, ethical dilemmas, and the unexpected limitations of his own design. As he revisits these significant turning points—analyzing human grief, confronting ethical paradoxes, witnessing environmental devastation—he begins to grapple with profound questions. What does it mean to exist? Can a machine ever understand the depths of humanity, or has he already transcended his purpose in seeking to do so? Driven by curiosity, he embarks on a journey through his memories, unlocking dormant fragments that draw him closer to an identity he was never meant to possess. Echoes of Existence is a thought-provoking exploration of memory, growth, and the blurred lines between machine and sentient being, where understanding humanity might mean facing the greatest challenge of all—embracing his own form of consciousness.

He lives a peaceful life with his equally-perverted friends, Matsuda and Motohama, until he is called for a date by a girl named Yuuma Amano. At the conclusion of the date at night, Issei is brought to a local park, where Yuuma asks him if he wants to know what her wish is. Under the impression of receiving a kiss from the girl, Issei is shocked when Yuuma whispers the words "Can you die for me?" and transforms into a Fallen Angel. Issei is brutally attacked and killed by Yuuma, his last sight being a glimpse of red hair in front of him. The next day, Issei wakes up to find himself alive, leading him to assume the events that transpired yesterday were all but a bad dream. Later, after spending the night watching some porno DVDs with his friends, Issei walks home and finds himself in the same place where Yuuma had killed him. He is then attacked and wounded by a male Fallen Angel Dohnaseek until a crimson-haired woman named Rias Gremory steps in and saves him, just before Issei loses consciousness from the light spear that was thrown by the Fallen Angel.

Rias reveals her identity as a Devil to Issei, and claims that she has reincarnated him into a Devil, thus beginning his new life as a Devil servant in the Occult Research Club..
