Ark Mechanicus

“Come not between the Dragon and his Wrath.” — William Shakespeare The year was 2140, and Earth was nothing but a distant memory. Humanity now drifted through the galaxies aboard colossal ARKs, massive skyships that served as the last bastions of civilization. Yet, these ARKs were more than just floating cities; they were humanity’s last containers, preserving what remained of their species. A century before Earth's final collapse, humanity discovered a gateway to a realm known as Eternia — a fantastical world straight out of myth and legend. Reaching this realm required more than just advanced technology; it demanded a complete departure from the physical body and entry into a mysterious process known as the Dream Weave. In the present day, Cloud lived aboard ARK NO. 427, where he had been training from a young age to step into the Dream Weave. He was a standout among his peers, excelling in every tasks that came his way. Everything seemed to be on track for him — until the pivotal day of the Class Selection process.

Un día, estaba por salir de su casa en dirección de su trabajo, sin embargo no pudo reaccionar ante la situación, cuando salió por la puerta de su casa y de repente apareció en una isla bastante familiar para él.

As Earth faces imminent destruction, humanity’s last hope rests on a colossal ark and its courageous passengers, destined for a new home among the stars. Yet, the journey is riddled with mystery, as cosmic forces beyond their understanding trigger unexpected powers among the survivors. Each new world brings danger, strange life forms, and elusive hints of a dark secret behind their sun’s collapse. Can they unravel the truth before it’s too late, or will they fall prey to the forces that claimed their dying world?

In a distant era known as the Era of Convergence, the universe is on the brink of upheaval. Eons ago, a powerful ancient intelligence scattered fragments of itself across the cosmos—enigmatic artifacts known as the Arks of Origin. These mysterious arks, each embodying facets of cosmic wisdom, wrath, serenity, and chaos, have influenced the rise and fall of countless civilizations, seeding cultures, philosophies, and myths in their wake. Now, after millennia of silence, one of these legendary arks has stirred, sending a signal across the stars—a call that reaches the galaxy’s most powerful factions. The Stellar Coalition, an alliance devoted to safeguarding knowledge and fostering peace, scrambles to secure the Ark before its power is misused. Their rivals, the ruthless Echo Dominion, see in the Ark the key to ultimate control over the galaxy and rally their forces for war. Meanwhile, the enigmatic Wayfarers of Entropy, a band of scholars and nomads, heed the Ark’s call as an omen of enlightenment, pursuing truths that lie beyond mortal comprehension. As the three forces race to reach the Ark, ancient secrets come to light, blurring the line between myth and reality. But beneath the surface, the Ark holds something more profound than any one faction could imagine—a secret that could unite or shatter the universe. In this boundless saga, characters will rise and fall, empires will be built and destroyed, and mysteries will unfurl across millions of years, leaving each generation to grapple with the eternal question: in a universe governed by incomprehensible forces, can knowledge and unity prevail over ambition and chaos?

"Transmigrate as the Final Villain of the novel..." Ark stared at his reflection in the mirror he held. It was Theos Von Fallen, the final villain of his favorite novel. Although he was the final villain and the strongest in the novel, he was killed by the protagonist and his harem in the finale. [Ding. The Heroine Snatching System has started] Ark gave a crooked smile when he read the system message in front of him... "Exchange!" he shouted, unwilling to accept the fate they had in store for him. Trapped in the world of his favorite novel as the most "evil" and powerful villain, Ark, now Theos, will use his knowledge as a fan obsessed with the novel to take away all the protagonist's opportunities. Whether he can become the focus of the whole show or whether a script will dictate his fate, he will decide! He will live as a true villain who doesn't care about anything but his life and his loved ones.

Follow our young engineer Erik as he starts on his first job at the young age of 60 years old in future earth where humans will live hundreds of years, he will reach an unknown place with his spaceship by accident and to survive he will have no choice but to explore alien structures and hunt dangerous monsters to get stronger, making alliances with the locals in more than friendly terms sometimes. ------------------------------------------------------ The protagonist is a young 60 years old "young" engineer, he's easy-going and a good guy, he's been trained so he will know what he's doing most of the time, in "Chapter 1 - A New Beginning" he will explain more, as a human from the future where bodies are just flesh containers, he's fairly openminded (kinda like "Altered Carbon" from Netflix, but different, you can go one day to a genetic center, pay, and get inside a liquid tank and then, the next time you open your eyes your body has already changed, then you get your ticket and go home just like that, but combat modifications would be regulated). ------------------------------------------------------ Hi, NirvanaPenguin here, suggestions on the story are welcome, this is a book I'm gonna write for fun and to get better at writing in preparation for a story I will start next year. ------------------------------------------------------ Discord: https://discord.gg/WPM7a4Dp4J Reddit: www.reddit.com/user/NirvanaPenguin/ Twitter: @NirvanaPenguin Post a review if you liked the book to help me get exposure, thanks.

In the wake of the cataclysmic apocalypse that devastated humanity, the sudden emergence of the enigmatic and malevolent 'Hollows' posed an unprecedented and dire threat to the surviving population. These mysterious beings, with the unsettling ability to shift into various forms – from ferocious creatures to ethereal specters – added a layer of complexity to the peril faced by the shattered remnants of society. Amidst this escalating danger, a distinct group known as 'Theurgists' rose, harnessing arcane powers rooted in the very essence of nature. Shrouded in mystery, Theurgists emerged as the last line of defense against the encroaching Hollow threat, their abilities offering a glimmer of hope in the face of overwhelming darkness. Under the guidance of the global authority, the Omni, a sweeping initiative was launched to combat the Hollow menace. The formation of the Ark Knights, an elite cohort of Theurgist champions, signaled a critical turning point in the ongoing struggle for survival.
