Cyclops

Vorfreude: Rachel Richmann

Krisis pangan dan energi berkelanjutan telah memperparah kondisi peradaban umat manusia di tahun 2157 M pasca perubahan iklim ekstrem dan kekeringan menahun. Para politisi, pebisnis, dan ilmuwan telah berbondong-bondong menciptakan kebijakan dan penemuan tepat guna agar manusia dapat bertahan hidup di tengah krisis. Rachel Richmann, CEO sekaligus ilmuwan dari Cyclops Intelligence adalah salah satunya. Rachel memiliki ambisi besar untuk melakukan rekayasa genetik agar manusia dapat bertahan hidup tanpa makanan dan oksigen melalui gen dan microchip yang diberi nama Instinctive Cardinal Nutrition Generator (ICNG-257). Penelitian dan komersialisasi bisnisnya sukses besar, namun diluar dugaan seseorang dari laboratoriumnya sengaja mengubah fungsi dan sistem gen dan microchip tersebut hingga mengakibatkan cacat permanen pada penerima rekayasa, termasuk diantaranya adalah para politisi dan pengusaha elit. Rachel telah dituntut atas kesalahan praktik yang terjadi di perusahaannya, namun Ia berhasil membungkam media dan penegak hukum. Rachel mengaku tidak bersalah, dan Ia terus mencari sosok Lore Hasenclever, peneliti yang disinyalir sebagai dalang dari insiden tersebut. Di tengah kegamangannya, Rachel bertemu dengan Niels Geyer, seorang arkeolog dan pemerhati lingkungan yang sangat membenci pengusaha seperti Rachel karena menganggapnya semakin merusak peradaban manusia. Namun, sampai lama waktu berlalu Niels tidak mengetahui dan mengingat pasti siapa sosok Rachel sebenarnya. Niels adalah seorang pengidap Alzheimer, Ia kesulitan mengenali teman dan keluarganya sendiri, dan momen-momen yang terjadi dalam hidupnya. Di sisi lain, Rachel juga menyembunyikan identitasnya dari Niels. Rachel tidak ingin Niels membencinya, karena jauh di dalam hatinya Rachel telah menaruh perasaan pada kesederhanaan pria itu. Niels jugalah yang telah menanamkan kembali nilai-nilai moral dan kemanusiaan yang Rachel rasa telah hilang darinya sejak lama. Lalu akankah ambisi mengubah segalanya? Juga, mampukah Rachel sebagai seorang perempuan mewujudkan mimpi-mimpinya untuk menciptakan penemuan yang bermanfaat bagi kehidupan manusia? ---------- Hello, welcome to the seventh novel by Aleyshia Wein! Novel kali ini mengangkat genre Sci-Fi (hard Sci-Fi, soft Sci-Fi, biopunk) dengan sedikit unsur-unsur crime di dalamnya. Novel ini tidak akan terlalu romantis, tapi mungkin manis. Novel ini akan menunjukkan sisi ambisius Rachel sebagai seorang CEO dan ilmuwan, sekaligus kelembutan dan perasaannya sebagai perempuan itu sendiri. Novel ini akan sangat kompleks membahas politik, bisnis, dan sains hingga terintegrasi ke dalam alur keseluruhan yang cukup melelahkan. Novel ini juga serius akan sangat filosofis menarik esensi terdalam kemanusiaan. Jika tertarik, boleh memberikan komentar, review, serta kritik dan saran yang membangun agar Author semakin meningkatkan kualitas penulisan kedepan. Regards, Aleyshia Wein.

Draconia's Ascendance

The protagonist, Drakon, or Drake for short, has led a life that has no shortage of misfortune. He faces encroaching medical difficulties that makes it very hard to maintain work, and ends up living with family just to get by... He dives himself into reading gathering knowledge in order to distract himself from his current, unfortunate situation. One night however, his room is filled with an abrupt glow as something he thought he would never see appears in the center of his room. The object that makes a miraculous appearance is none other than a small circular formation filled with geometric shapes and complex, alien writing that could only be called one thing: a magic circle! What appears from this circle is an invitation to leave his home, and possibly his humanity, behind and enter into a new world filled with magic, mythological creatures like gryphons, spinxes, Cyclops, titans, and dragons, as well as medieval-styled kingdoms, politics and wars, and even adventurous spirit-tickling labyrinths that are filled with unknown treasures guarded by hordes of evil creatures and can often span over huge areas of land. Given the chance to adequately prepare before leaving the world of his birth, Drake, the realist he is, puts his gathered knowledge to work and begins compiling a book filled with anything and everything he could ever possibly need in this other world, even taking into account numerous different potential scenarios from becoming an adventurer to forging his own kingdom. Without knowing what to fully expect, he prepares for as many scenarios as he can. From his present life of misery, watch Drakon take his life by the reigns as he uses whatever he can to ascend!

Codex Arcana : A Compendium of Monsters

Welcome, dear reader, to a tome that's sure to add a bit of spice—and maybe a shiver or two—to your life. I am your humble narrator, known by many names: King of Ithaca, raider of cities, man of many wiles, and wanderer. But you can just call me "that guy who took forever to get home." This book isn't just about my own wild adventures, though there are plenty of those to go around. No, this is an encyclopedia of monsters—a compendium of the creepiest, crawliest, and most formidable foes I've had the pleasure (or misfortune) to encounter(Or learn about). From the labyrinthine depths of the sea to the highest peaks of Mount Olympus, these pages are filled with tales of creatures that will make you question every shadow and every rustle in the night. I've poured all my quests, journeys, hardships, and hard-earned knowledge into this collection. You'll meet the classics, like the Cyclops (still nursing that grudge, I'm sure) and the ever-charming sirens (note to self: invest in earplugs). But you'll also discover some lesser-known terrors that might just keep you up at night. So, whether you're a seasoned adventurer looking for tips on your next monster hunt or simply someone who enjoys a good fireside scare, this encyclopedia is for you. Grab a comfy seat, perhaps a nice glass of something strong, and dive into the monstrous marvels of our world. Just remember: sometimes, the things that go bump in the night are very, very real. Enjoy the chills!
