Eren Kain was an ordinary engineer and inventor until the day the Tower of Trials appeared. A massive, otherworldly spire reaching into the heavens, the tower beckoned humanity with promises of power, wealth, and immortality—but also death. Unlike the others, Eren was forcibly bound to the Tower. No one else could enter until he began his climb, and he couldn’t leave unless he reached the top. Stripped of magic, aura, or any supernatural ability, Eren’s only advantage is his engineering genius and the technology he can smuggle in. From basic firearms to drones and exoskeletons, he uses every tool at his disposal to survive the monsters, traps, and bizarre ecosystems within the Tower. Yet even technology has its limits in a world governed by magic. As Eren climbs, he discovers the Tower isn’t just a trial but a puzzle. Its magic isn’t arbitrary—it’s systematic, a science he slowly learns to decode. However, one wrong calculation could kill him instantly, forcing him to balance experimentation with survival. He scavenges magic crystals, artifacts, and spell books, using them in crude, improvised ways to bolster his arsenal. Over time, he begins merging technology and magic, creating unique hybrid tools to overcome the increasingly insurmountable challenges. But why was Eren chosen? What secret does the Tower hold?

The end came silently, not with an explosion, but with the imminent exhaustion of the energy that gave life to the universe. The calculations were irrefutable: entropy was advancing without pause, consuming the stars until they were left in a state of coldness and death. Humanity, which had conquered the galaxy and mastered the laws of physics, was facing its final challenge: extinction. For centuries, the most brilliant scientists and thinkers searched for a solution, but collapse was inevitable. They could not fight against the fate of the cosmos, but they could ensure that their existence was not forgotten. Thus one last project. A perfect structure, built with materials unknown even to its own creators, capable of withstanding the passage of eons. Inside, it housed the entirety of human knowledge: history, science, philosophy, technology, art and culture. More than just a simple archive, it contained an artificial intelligence with evolutionary capabilities, designed to preserve, learn and adapt to any environment in which it might find itself. With one last effort, the Archive was launched into the abyss of space, traversing unknown dimensions and realities, with one goal: to find a new home, a place where their knowledge could be passed on, where humanity could, in some way, be reborn. Centuries, millennia, perhaps eons later, the Archive descended upon a different world. A world where magic was the essence that ruled life, where ancient civilizations fought for dominance over forgotten realms and impossible creatures sailed the skies and seas. It was in this world that a young man, unknown to his own people, would find the greatest legacy of an extinct civilization. And with it, change the fate of everything he knew. The age of magic was about to meet the lost knowledge of another world.

Everyone hears about the end of the world, there are many theories and speculations about how it will be, the question is: can human beings understand it? Are they capable of assimilating what is coming? Jawara Malenfant, an innovative aerospace engineer, creates a new way for many more people to know outer space and find solutions to global injustices, but he does not imagine that he will need his creation to survive, that a space organization (alien) has planned the destruction of humanity because it has a powerful prejudice against humans and will have the help of other organizations, some that come from another part of the universe, nor will he imagine that no matter how hard we try to stop a destruction, no matter how many advances science and technology have, no human being is prepared for what is to come.

A top - secret experiment's explosion flung Zhang Shuo into a parallel ancient - like world. As the least - favored prince, he got the most barren fiefdom. The land was infertile, resources scarce, and people poor. His siblings, enjoying more imperial favor, often belittled him and his domain. Luckily, a “Tech Crystal” from the experiment came with him. This crystal gave him the power to upgrade the technology tree, offering a shot at changing his fiefdom. Determined to change fate, Zhang Shuo led a purposeful life in his fiefdom. He first focused on agriculture. By introducing modern techniques like crop rotation, local - fertilizer use, and better irrigation, the land became fertile, and grain yields rose, improving people's lives. Next, he developed industry. Starting with simple workshops and basic tech, he made more efficient tools. These workshops grew into factories, making various goods. This created jobs and brought wealth through trade. Towards his hostile siblings, Zhang Shuo stuck to his principle: be kind to friends, tough on foes. His jealous, power - hungry siblings often tried to undermine him, like spreading rumors or sending spies. But he used his wits and tech to expose them, showing his actions were for the kingdom's good. However, if a sibling was willing to cooperate, he'd share tech knowledge, believing unity was strength. As Zhang Shuo developed his fiefdom, it became a model of progress. His story inspired others. With determination and the crystal's power, he was set to transform not just his fiefdom, but perhaps the whole world.

In the heart of Emretana, a nation forged by the legendary King Jiranyu IV, lies the fortified city of Yiaditak. Originally built by Jiranyu IV, the city stands as a testament to his vision of unity and strength. Over the centuries, Yiaditak has become a symbol of resilience for the Jibberek people, the largest and most influential ethnicity in Emretana. The name "Yiaditak" is derived from the Jibberenkrata words "Yiada," meaning light, and "Yitak," meaning guide. The city earned its name because its lights, visible from the Yestakmi Hills, served as a beacon for travelers, guiding them safely through their journeys. However, Yiaditak is also home to the Ekkadese people, a minor ethnicity that sought refuge in Emretana after fleeing their homeland on the distant shores of Irammi. For generations, the Ekkadese have built their lives in Yiaditak, preserving their culture and traditions in their adopted homeland. Tensions between the Jibberek and Ekkadese have simmered for years, fueled by disputes over territory, resources, and cultural differences. As these tensions reach a boiling point, the stage is set for an epic confrontation that will determine the future of both peoples. The Battle of the Cultures is a tale of conflict and unity, bravery and determination. Leading the charge on the Jibberek side are RedEmerald108YT, a skilled Army Chief and strategist organizing the city's defenses; King Jirakku II, the wise and just ruler of the Jibberek, upholding the legacy of Jiranyu IV; The Emretana Dispute Soldiers, elite warriors trained to handle conflicts within the nation; and CheirsDaCrafter, a master craftsman and engineer creating fortifications and traps. On the Ekkadese side, the resilient and resourceful forces are led by Ensuta, the charismatic leader determined to protect the Ekkadese homeland; the united and innovative Ekkadese people, contributing their unique skills to the defense; and Rimmadu, a skilled warrior and tactician devising clever plans and strategies. As the battle rages on, both sides face personal challenges and doubts. The outcome of the battle will depend on their strength, courage, and ability to unite in the face of adversity. Amidst the chaos, the echoes of King Jiranyu IV's vision remind them of the importance of unity and resilience. Will the Jibberek and Ekkadese find a way to overcome their differences and achieve a lasting peace, or will the conflict continue to rage on? The Battle of the Cultures is a gripping tale of cultural heritage and the indomitable spirit of Emretana's people.

This is a story of a guy who loses everything, and then gets it back. Same old new world story, just a different kind of story teller. *** They took away our hunter tags. They had us grow our hair. They gave us a new brand, when we were over there. They staged us out of Dragur, East of the Olim Horn. I guess they call us Slaves, but no one calls us much anymore. There is no fun in killing. I don't want to do it anymore. Karn brought Sorrow. Pookie brought Fear. Milk brought the fly boys. They did work in Undia. I worked mostly clandestine. Some Legends I should not say. We played with better wands. I could use the extra pay. Did Mara give the order? Did venom pay the way? They said we were slaying demons, but it was kind of hard to tell. There is no fun in killing. I don't want to do it anymore. This was before HALO, and Codex was king. Hej atop the rider, he never felt a thing. When our rider caught a spell, and both the mages killed. It pitched us over sideways on some cold Sylph hill. My back felt like it was broken, my legs I could not feel. I kept on slaying demons, but it was kind of hard to tell. There is no fun in killing. I don't want to do it anymore. I never did heal up right from injuries sustained Officially in Torin, unofficially we train. I remember all their faces. They dream about me still. I guess I'm slaying demons, but it's kind of hard to tell. There no fun in killing. I don't want to do it anymore. I speak the cold logistic, that old boys speak so well. Veni, Vedi, Vici. I'll see you in Hel. Maybe it's bravado, or an unspeakable guilt. That village, they were demons, but it was kind of hard to tell. There is no fun in killing. I don't wanna to do it anymore. I've done plenty. What is one more? -Corb Lund *** Come guess me this riddle. What beats shire leaves and fiddle? What is hotter than pleasures touch, and whiter than cream? What best wets his whistle? What is clearer than crystal? What is sweeter than honey and stronger than steam? What will make the lame walk? What will make the dumb talk? What is the elixir of life and philosopher's stone? And what helped Pookie-Baba dig up a tunnel, that runs from Shalamanda to West-Torin? When you are digging a crater, It is the best thing in nature, for sinking your sorrows and raising your joys. Sometimes I wonder, if lightning and thunder, is made out of the plunder, of the reddest hiski and oils. *** If you can keep your head when all about you, are losing theirs and blaming it on you. If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their doubting too. If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise. If you can dream, and not make dreams your master. If you can think, and not make thoughts your aim. If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster, and treat those two impostors just the same. If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken, twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, and stoop and build them up with worn-out tools. If you can make one heap of all your winnings, and risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss and lose, and start again at your beginnings, and never breathe a word about your loss. If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew, to serve your turn long after they are gone, and so hold on when there is nothing in you; Except the Will which says to them ‘Hold on!’ If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, nor walk with Kings, nor lose the common touch. If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you. If all men count with you, but none too much. If you can fill the unforgiving minute, with sixty seconds worth of distance, run. Yours is the World and everything that’s in it, and which is more you’ll be a Man, my son. - Rudyard Kipling
