Pandora

Echoes in the Long Night

As the Arctic ice caps crumble under catastrophic global warming, the ancient "Pandora Virus" — buried for millennia — unleashes hell on Earth. Chen Mo, a history student in a drowsy lecture hall, watches civilization collapse into blood-soaked chaos: the infected rise as ravenous horrors, cities become graveyards, and humanity’s darkest instincts erupt in the ruins. Armed with a fire axe, Chen Mo battles through his zombified campus with medical prodigy Lin Wei, campus beauty Su Qing, and other survivors. Betrayal and sacrifice shatter their fragile sanctuary, forcing Chen Mo on a desperate quest to find his family. In a warlord-controlled bunker, he discovers his parents died protecting the weak in a mutant-infested quarantine zone. Inheriting their resolve, Chen Mo transforms from survivor to guardian, forging the bunker into a beacon of hope called "New Haven." But its light attracts the genocidal cult "The Purifiers," igniting holy war. To reach humanity’s last stronghold — the subterranean fortress "Kunlun Base" — Chen Mo leads an elite squad across the wasteland. Through sand-choked ruins, slaver pits, and the Purifiers’ mobile fortresses, they recruit allies: a survivalist hunter, a mechanic duo, and "Shadow," a wanderer marked by secrets. Each victory comes at a cost. Within Kunlun’s ordered utopia, Chen Mo uncovers deadlier threats: factional power struggles, unethical virus-weapon experiments, and the cult’s "Prophet" who commands the infected. When intel reveals Pandora’s origin lies in an Arctic ice vault, Chen Mo launches a suicidal expedition. In the frozen lab ruins, he confronts the Prophet — a virus-human hybrid — and sacrifices comrades to destroy the hive. The "Primordial Strain" he retrieves could be humanity’s cure... or ultimate doom. As Kunlun’s leadership fractures and New Haven simmers with discord, a new power emerges from the West: the technocratic dystopia "Eden." The long night endures. Every echo of human survival etches a new epoch in the darkness.

Proteus' Paradigm and Pandora's Paradox

Three times the universe has begun with a bang, and twice it ended with the stars being devoured by something that does not exist. The third time, however, something that *should not have existed* hijacked the process. 729 eternal proto-stars now orbit the Cornerstone of all Creation, in which sleeps Arius, the Arbiter of the fifteen dimensions Creation exists in, and Nobody; as Guardian of the Non-Euclidean Infinite Archive, existing outside of reality... isolated . Across those fifteen dimensions which the two watch over; preside "Bearers of Sparks," or "Exceptions," empowered by the myriad stars, and metaphysical influence, spread across the multiverse. Beings across all fifteen dimensions are bound by a plethora of things, but first and foremost aside from causality is something called "The First Anomaly," which exists in all dimensions simultaneously. The dimension it is observed in will shift reality in accordance with a number of precepts, which are determined by the second most prominent binding aspect of the Third Cycle: "The Rule of Three." The Rule of Three is the physical formation of a paranormal law of nature, which acts as a causal filtration device. It also has a secondary function, which allows for Exceptions to offset and utilize any amount of energy in flux by bypassing the typical side-effects of thermodynamic energy transfer as we understand it. This is not to be confused for magic, because magic has a cost. This isn't reality bending/warping in the conventional sense either, as it's not bending the whole of reality but a singular aspect in a nigh-infinite multitude of potential ways, with 100% energy efficiency in cost/effectiveness/application which those who are not Exceptions cannot replicate without multiple sponsorships. This story follows an abnormality above anomalies; an Exception among Exceptions, a Transmigrator from the other side of an otherwise impassable wall, by the name of Lee Kühren.

Pandora Zero

May 13th, 3000. A gate opened in the heart of zone Four.  From it came. CALAMITY.  August 26th, 3060. For decades, humanity has fought a relentless war against the beings now called Wyrm. These monstrous calamities have pushed humanity to the brink, their destructive power unmatched, until Pandora Corp emerged.  The corporation's revolutionary field mechs leveled the playing field, giving humanity a fighting chance. But as humans evolved their technology, so did the Wyrms. Bigger, faster, and deadlier, they ravaged the world once again, reducing Earth's population by half.  February 23rd, 3100. The war reached a stalemate with the introduction of the Juggernaut: colossal mechs designed with unmatched durability and a revolutionary co-link system that allows their pilots to control them as if they were extensions of their own bodies. But these powerful machines could only be produced in limited numbers, far too few to turn the tide of war. To protect what remained, the world was divided into districts. The wealthy and influential were sheltered in the first ten districts, far from the Wyrm spawning zones. The rest of the world was left to burn. July 5th, 3180 "Special riders can go anywhere they want, to any district, abandoned or not." Amid the chaos, a boy from a destroyed district survives each day by the skin of his teeth. With nothing but a standard mech, his wit and a gun, he kills to survive, clinging to the hope of returning to his destroyed hometown. One fateful day, just before death claims him, he's offered a golden ticket: a chance to join Pandora Academy, the prestigious training ground for Juggernaut riders. If he rises through the ranks, he'll earn his own Juggernaut, and the freedom to reclaim his home. But within Pandora are the best riders humanity has to offer, each with dreams and ambitions as fierce as his own. To succeed, he must fight through a gauntlet of unparalleled talent and impossible challenges. The stakes are high, the odds stacked against him. But for his home, he'll claw his way to the top. [A/N: If you're a fan of tactical combat and large robots fighting even larger monsters, this is the one for you!]

Gift: Book One The Prelude

Two thousand one hundred and twenty years after the Divine War—Armageddon—angels and demons have clashed, the Devil lies imprisoned, and humanity finally learned to live in harmony. Yet the ancient prophecies warned: after a millennium, darkness would return. Now, as demonic forces rise again, the Supreme Being bestows upon chosen humans “Gifts”—mystical powers fueled by spiritual energy—to tip the balance between light and shadow. Nal Handock is a sixteen-year-old high schooler from Orlas’ snowy highlands who never expected to become one of those chosen. A haunting vision of his missing father drives him into the heart of a clandestine organization responsible for regulating Gifts and hunting those who misuse them. Joined by Lysha Holt—his enigmatic classmate whose own Gift pulses with hidden strength—and the mysterious newcomer Kayishi Brooks, Nal embarks on a harrowing quest: protect the world’s seven Lumlands from Gifts twisted by demonic corruption. From the winter in Hellen to the bustling capital of Lob-Chen in Orlas, they will confront angels and demons, sorcerers and djinns, and face trials that test the very core of their souls. But not all Gifts are alike. Beneath the Celestes’ watchful gaze, six legendary Celestial Gifts—Persuasion, Copy, Harmony, Will, Resurrection, and Pandora—hold the key to restoring balance. Beyond these lie the Neo-Gifts, unpredictable powers that evade priestly control, and elemental crystals forged to shield humans without Gifts. When loyalties blur and ancient forces stir, Nal must decide whether to uphold the fragile peace or risk plunging the world back into chaos. Gift: Volume 1—The Prelude is a fast-paced, strategic fantasy adventure where laughter, danger, and unbreakable bonds collide—and where one spark of faith can ignite the greatest power.

Echoes of the Frozen Cosmos: The Mastery of Arfrotian

Arfrotian, ruler of the vast oceanic realm of Primavius Azureonic, bears the immense burden of Pandora, a destructive power capable of annihilating existence itself. Known as the Red Ice, Pandora is a force so volatile that Arfrotian isolates himself in an uncharted, icy omniverse—a barren wasteland, devoid of life, where he can master its overwhelming potential without endangering the people he is sworn to protect. But the omniverse is not as lifeless as it seems. Hidden in the endless frost are two warring factions: the enigmatic shadow elves, masters of Black Ice magic, and the divine angels of Luminia, harbingers of light and purity. Drawn into their clash, Arfrotian finds himself caught between two ideologies, navigating political intrigue, fragile alliances, and a conflict that threatens to consume the entire omniverse. As Arfrotian delves deeper into this frozen realm, he encounters the Ice Phoenix, a mythical guardian with ties to the omniverse’s mysterious past. The Ice Phoenix holds the key to unlocking the truth behind the omniverse’s icy desolation—and perhaps, Arfrotian’s own path to mastering Pandora. What begins as a solitary journey of self-control transforms into an epic adventure of conquest, redemption, and balance. Can Arfrotian prevent Pandora from consuming him while forging a destiny among the shadow elves, angels, and the vast unknown? Or will his presence spark the ultimate collapse of an already fragile omniverse?

Half the planet has succumbed to eternal darkness, and humanity’s prayers go unanswered as false gods don't dare challenge the forces of Celestia and Azarathala. Caleon and Azarath, the two sons of the Creator, wage a cataclysmic war for power. Each seeks to capture Minos and harness his divine essence… to turn it against the very being who created them. Driven by vengeance and the will of the Word (the true creator of everything), Minos, a divine warrior forged to slay these deceitful deities, who imprisoned him within the Pandora’s Box.

In a final, apocalyptic clash between Celestia and Azarathala, Minos confronts Caleon and Azarath, but even with all his strength, he is struck down by the very gods he was forged to destroy. In his death, The Word spoke to him and gave him strength, deeming him worthy of the redemption he seeks. And with divine judgment passed, the Word breaks the seals of Pandora’s Box and revives Minos, unlocking his true divine nature. Empowered beyond mortal bounds, he returns to the battlefield and slays both Caleon and Azarath, ending their rebellion and restoring balance.
