Trumpet

After the world ended in a blinding light and the echoes of seven trumpets, humanity was left to face its reckoning. The event, known as The Culling, marked the gods' abandonment of mankind. Yet, humanity endured, rebuilding for nearly a century under constant threat from celestial horrors called Angels—merciless beings that devour all life. To protect the remnants of humanity, a select few known as The Shepherds—individuals awakened with divine power—lead the charge against the Angels alongside their loyal Disciples. Sephis, a young man who survived the apocalyptic Culling, awakens far too late to a desolate world. Alone and burdened with the mysterious Crown of a Shepherd, he walks a ruined land filled with danger, searching for his purpose and his reason to fight and preserve what remains of mankind.

On a beautiful day, all high school students in Vietnam were summoned by the gods to countless different planets to destroy the threat called "Demon King". Can they survive and return to their homeland?

"Genova is missing!" Sally yells so hard that she doesn't need a gong and a trumpet to make this announcement. These three words and audible gasps of shock from the workers outside put us all in panic. "How did you know?" Damon lets go of her, and she goes crashing on the floor due to her ill-judged movement. "She dumped the wedding dress inside a bathtub full of water, and I've spent over an hour searching everywhere for her," My stomach squeezes and tightens into knots, as I try to properly align the words I just heard. "Can it be that she eloped with an old lover?"  "Did she possibly develop a tad of cold feet before the wedding?" "Aside from smoking which of course is a bad habit, Genova is a nice girl. Alpha Cahill might be abusive because of his alleged monstrous nature," "Fucking worse timing of the century, isn't it?" Several uncertain questions are flying in the air, until my mother, Meredith Rose, slams her fist against the table in front of everyone, startling us all and gaining silence almost immediately  "Enough!" She bellows, her veins bulging out along her neck in exasperation. "We've got to figure out a way out of this, Or Alpha Cahill will shred us into pieces. The loans we are owing, your father's uncleared debts after his death. My fucking god, I can't believe Genova will do this to us," mom facepalms in distress, tapping her feet against the floor in frustration. "Let's go find her, it might be she's homesick already and wants some time alone," Archibald suggests, while he's being stopped by Sally with a raise of the hand. "Few of the workers formed a search party and one came with the news of someone seeing a tomboy who bears a striking resemblance to Genova, running away with a man." Sally points this out, and all three of my brothers exchange knowing looks, with their lips thinning. "Jack Snyder," they chorus and I gasp. I cannot believe she's ran away with that psycho ex of hers. Who in their right state of mind will ditch her own wedding with Alpha Cahill and run away with a man who's lost all sanity? My mom who has been silent all these while suddenly shivers-jolts, her eyes sparkling with certainty, then she points at me, the youngest Brewer sibling.  "You, Mathilda...you will have to take the place of your sister to marry Alpha Cahill." *** Mathilda's life changes when her elder sister runs away on her wedding day and she's being persuaded by her mother and brothers to protect them from an impending wicked fate until she reluctantly agrees to marry Alpha Cahill. She's left with no alternative but to adhere to not bring shame to the Alpha and put the lives of her family members at stake. Will she be able to cope with Alpha Cahill who doesn't regard her in any aspect, but is enraged and wouldn't let her go while he's in search of her elder sister? She's however, forced to reject her own mate after becoming the Luna of the Blackwood pack, and what she doesn't expect is to develop feelings for Alpha Cahill in the process of protecting her family. But she has no idea a lot is in store for her as Luna of the Blackwood pack.  The dreadful Luna Ritual if Cahill touches her and she gets pregnant, Cahill's half-brother who seems to be infatuated with her.  And having to face the jealous female population of the Blackwood and other neighboring packs. Puzzling circumstances are shoved into the picture when Cahill's actual, self-entitled Luna-wannabe mate comes out from nowhere and makes her presence known, perplexing him and hurting Mathilda. And just as Mathilda is contemplating if she and Cahill will be able to overcome everything and everyone, Genova Brewer returns. This leaves Mathilda wondering if Cahill will be with her or choose her sister, his first love over her. She's only a substitute for Luna, or isn't she?

God, it's is a word, that is shared among many believers in their individual religions, to represent a source of worship, when we are hurt we pray to God to heal us, when we are desperate we pray to God to help us, and when we are lost we pray to God guide us. Religion is the very thing that separated the world into different beliefs, but what happens when Religion becomes nothing but a lie, a farce, and a fucking disease, what if the Devil, the demon, the heretics, was our one true savior all this while. What happens when these so-called Gods, Angels, and divine beasts were the real demons that wish humanity nothing but their absolute downfall all this while, tell me is your religion and belief even necessary at this point. No, it isn't, so with that said, here what I think, to fuck with the Gods, to fuck with the angels, and to fuck with everything that has to do with them, I hate God, I despise them, why you ask? "Hmmmm.... Very well then let me tell you the story of my journey to the top, of how I Nika Ashborn Letitburn become one of the strongest Devils and the symbol of Fire that burn the embers of humanity rage in the war against the divine.” In the year 2012 the world as we know it came to an end, the heavens crumble, and the gates of hell opened, Armageddon as we know it dawns upon us without warning. But when the angels come, and the trumpets blow, and humanity gaze at the very God they worship, they bow and send praise in unison, but little did any of us know, those thing we call divine, were the true parasite, because as soon as they came, the world end, they send their angels which are their minions to start killing us, but it didn't end there, apparently the divine eats human to empower themselves, and we are nothing but livestock that has reached perfection. And we couldn't do anything about it, as our technology was useless against them, bullets were like small pokes that tickle, rockets felt like a tiny slap, and missiles and nukes were nothing but a sun tan. At that moment we lost all hope, or so we thought because just like the angels descend from above, the manifestation of humanity's sins came to our aid from the pits of hell itself, the demons, and with nowhere else to turn to, all the world leaders sign a contract with the demons and devils, or as they are called now, the sinful, that in return for the power to summon heroes of the past, that use to live in the old world and were also capable of using magic and dark arts to fight off the divine. We humans must stay true to our human nature and continue doing all the bad in the world to power the demons, the thing Is, despite the 100% absolute reassurance that all humans are capable of summoning a legend of the past, even if it's one from a parrel or neighboring reality with the aid of demonic energy, me Nika is unable to even comprehend much less utilize this energy making me humanity most worthless, that is till one day when I was going through the school Libary I came across a weird book, titled 101 ways to summon a Dragonlord from another world for dummies, by emotionally damaged cliche Isekai hero.

Deadend the closure of the world As angel and demon , judgment day is approaching, and world annihilation is on the horizon. Some of them manage to flee, but they are pursued by angels and devils, all while attempting to save their lives from various forms of punishment on Earth! God has been watching the world be transformed into a demon refuge for how many centuries. The human, once an innocent creature, has taken on the appearance of his rebellious son, the fallen angel. So he chooses to put an end to the pain in his heart. And the name of the son's father, as well as the Holy Spirit... *** Gabriel, The globe is my refuge. I enjoy watching people do stupid things just to survive. For over a century, they have made me laugh and entertained me. I was present when my father decided to unleash the floodwaters as a punishment for humanity's wrongdoing. But, because I care about Earth, I try to save them. My father God's disobedient son has always been me. I've struggled for what I've always known I wanted to achieve for over a thousand years. I murder a lot of humans who transform into demons and demons who transform into humans. Yes, I adore the planet and everything it contains. But I never claim to have the authority to murder them if necessary. God's right hand is sent into the world to annihilate all humanity as I slash my sword through every person possessed by an angel. For over a century, I've believed that this is the most difficult year for me because it's not just one or two simultaneous attacks on the human. And the sound of the trumpet answered my question. The end of the world is approaching, and the judgment is near. What can I do now to save them from the gods' wrath?

Su Yu, who created a trumpet/second account in the fully submersible trading card game "Yu-Gi-Oh: Link World", inexplicably transmigrated through game world, and even brought his own NPC template. Time went back to the time before game was launched, the player still had a month to come, the nameless Pharaoh was still sleeping in the body of the high school student Muto Yugi, and the Battle City with cross-generational significance had not yet started. When Game was officially launched, players logged in and found that there was a new NPC in the game that was not in the original anime. Su Yu: Do the players over there want to draw card packs? Fifty for one packs, five hundred for ten packs, fair price, no bullying! The players stared directly at the Pot of Greed marked as UR in the product list, their eyes were burning, and the same thoughts came to their minds invariably—just draw that card P.S: This is my first time translate a novel, please give me some support.... support for more chapter : pat r eon.co m/coolfauzi68 P.S.S: The picture is not mine (DIsclaimer) P.S.S.S: I'll upload 3/3 or more each day, as long as there's some generous people who donate....

Acheron emperor one of the 9 emperors of the vast universe a godly mage who ruled a part of the galaxy with his comrades one of the strongest mages in the world….then the void showed their presence and started attacking, ruthless and relentless they purged the universe of its inhabitants. “It’s done come back” a sudden voice spoke from the void and everything returned. Throughout the now destroyed universe mana flowed. “An era has suddenly ended and now a new one shall come and this shall be the era of emperors shall one come and challenge be in the future once defeated I will hand the throne” After the void stopped talking planets emerged from nowhere and after millions of years species started appearing and evolving. 15 billion years later the universe was stable and the race to become an emperor began once the trumpet of the void was blown.

Life begins at forty, as a common saying. Weng was able to build her own dream house at the age of forty. She owned a grocery store and has other sources of income. Her parents have no longer alive, while her two younger siblings have their own family. She's single and no boyfriend since then. She couldn't blame the time she'd wasted when having the opportunity to find a life partner. If she could only turn back the times, she would have done it before. Until one day, someone left an odd pendant with a silver chain in their store. It's color blue in the form of an elongated crystal yet half-broken. A week later, no one came back to claim the thing. One night, she drove a car heading back home when suddenly, the eighteen-wheeler truck bumped into her car and made that scenario into her death. She woke up in a world that has a vicious dark atmosphere and dusky clouds. She hears the mighty men howls and a trumpet sounded like there's a war. She was in the midst of a battle in the Persian war. It was the Battle of Thermopylae 480 before the christ era. She stood up and quickly ran away until a white horse blocked her way with a man riding on it. And he met Kairo Middlestone, a reincarnated god of time and space who preserves the balance of time from the past to the future. He also maintains peace within the time travel dimension with the help of his stone crystal necklace. The young man also revealed to her the truth behind the time stone. If they couldn't get the other half, the present world experienced phenomenon troubles such as wars, pandemics, global warming, storms, volcanic eruption, and many more. How would Weng accept everything she's been through in another dimension and rebirth after being in a car accident? How if she's the chosen one to reattached the half stone and find the other half with Kairo? Could they be successful in keeping the wheel of time back to normal? How if she falls in love with an immortal like him?

When the shone of prophecy spoke the future to Apollo, the world went upside down due to Athena's rage and destruction. Demons from the deepest part of tartarus were created, it plunged Armenia bringing death and malice to this world. The Holy Grail which had been sealed was awakened, a trumpet of chaos that sang of cruelty and destruction made Athena's soul yearn for that power. To stop her evil deeds, the gods and goddesses sealed her away—back to Tartarus, and they founded a school that teaches students how to fight and control their magic, where Aisha had been born. Valarie was a puppet—or so how she thought. That girl was neither a puppet nor a human, she was a mortal whose blood runs from the blessing of a God—she was a demigod as well as an Aisha. She was given a chance to live, where a new life awaits her—is a distance wish. Maximilian is the core president of the Elite Circle, a council of elite students who would rule over them. Who was cursed to live his entire life as an immortal being. The curse of time awaits the destruction of Armenia. It was closer than it can ever be. However, when these two fates collide with each other, a shone of fire ignites the path of hope, and brings to life what was a cold and bloodless fate set upon their destiny. P.S I'd like to credit the artist who made my cover. Thank you very much, Urakumu Aero.

I stared at the alter deep in thoughts, when I heard the trumpet. Sudden silence all over the church, you could hear a pin drop. The sound of footsteps, his footsteps; echoed around the place. I looked away from the floor i'd already spent 5 minutes studying, and saw a man, if not an angel; staring intently at me. He had the most beautiful gray eyes, like a void you could get sucked into if you looked at for just even a second; and for some reason I didn't want to look away. The most pale and beautiful skin I had ever seen, and that beautiful dark ash coloured hair that graced his already stunning face. I was crossed on whether he looked like an angelic devil or a devilish angel.

I used to work as a regular entertainer in a small jazz bar, playing my sweet trumpet, helping people relax with my renditions of old and new songs. On my walk home I ended up having a heart attack. Nobody was around so in the end I just died, now I'm another world. Traveling bars, exploring the various guilds, and spreading my music.

Sometimes, I can still remember the days when everything was so much simpler. I recall playing on the porch, feeling the wind blowing on my face as if everything was right. But all that ended when the trumpets sounded. The thing about myths and legends is there is always some truth in them—

All alive and kicking He started to enthusiastically tell his plan in a trumpet blast voice by saying: “let us make and design robots in our own image, in our own likeness, after that, let them rule all over the corners of the red planet and do multitudes of researches on our behalf.” (he spoke like in the bible when God was about to create man), and he continued by saying: “let us make these robots more Advanced than any other machine before, to the extent that they will have the freedom and power of choosing between what is right and what is wrong, let us make them move like us, think like us and even mimic all of our human moods, let us increase and multiply them in numbers after a certain period of time and group them together into families just like us, above all let us limit our interference with their lives, let us let them live alone far away sixty-four million two hundred and twenty-one thousand kilometers away from us in Mars. As for us, we will only act as their gods, we will be watching their day to day lives from the micro cameras which we will place on each of their foreheads, Let us do this and change the way we look beyond our skies and space”;

Historical fiction rose to prominence in Europe during the early 19th century as part of the Romantic reaction to the Enlightenment, especially through the influence of the Scottish writer Sir Walter Scott, whose works were immensely popular throughout Europe. Among his early European followers we can find Willibald Alexis, Theodor Fontane, Bernhard Severin Ingemann, Miklós Jósika, Mór Jókai, Jakob van Lennep, Demetrius Bikelos, Enrique Gil y Carrasco, Carl Jonas Love Almqvist, Victor Rydberg, Andreas Munch, Alessandro Manzoni, Alfred de Vigny, Honoré de Balzac or Prosper Mérimée.[15][16][17][18][19] Jane Porter's 1803 novel Thaddeus of Warsaw is one of the earliest examples of the historical novel in English and went through at least 84 editions.[20] including translation into French and German,[21][22][23] The first true historical novel in English was in fact Maria Edgeworth's Castle Rackrent (1800).[24] In the 20th century György Lukács argued that Scott was the first fiction writer who saw history not just as a convenient frame in which to stage a contemporary narrative, but rather as a distinct social and cultural setting.[25] Scott's Scottish novels such as Waverley (1814) and Rob Roy (1817) focused upon a middling character who sits at the intersection of various social groups in order to explore the development of society through conflict.[26] Ivanhoe (1820) gained credit for renewing interest in the Middle Ages. Many well-known writers from the United Kingdom published historical novels in the mid 19th century, the most notable include Thackeray's Vanity Fair, Charles Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities, George Eliot's Romola, and Charles Kingsley's Westward Ho! and Hereward the Wake. The Trumpet-Major (1880) is Thomas Hardy's only historical novel, and is set in Weymouth during the Napoleonic wars,[27] when the town was then anxious about the possibility of invasion by Napoleon.[28] In the United States, James Fenimore Cooper was a prominent author of historical novels who was influenced by Scott.[29] His most famous novel is The Last of the Mohicans: A Narrative of 1757 (1826), the second book of the Leatherstocking Tales pentalogy.[30] The Last of the Mohicans is set in 1757, during the French and Indian War (the Seven Years' War), when France and Great Britain battled for control of North America. Cooper's chief rival,[31] John Neal, wrote Rachel Dyer (1828), the first bound novel about the 17th-century Salem witch trials.[32] Rachel Dyer also influenced future American fiction set in this period, like The Scarlet Letter (1850) by Nathaniel Hawthorne[33] which is one of the most famous 19th-century American historical novels.[34] Set in 17th-century Puritan Boston, Massachusetts during the years 1642 to 1649, it tells the story of Hester Prynne, who conceives a daughter through an affair and struggles to create a new life of repentance and dignity. In French literature, the most prominent inheritor of Scott's style of the historical novel was Balzac.[35] In 1829 Balzac published Les Chouans, a historical work in the manner of Sir Walter Scott.[36] This was subsequently incorporated into La Comédie Humaine. The bulk La Comédie Humaine, however, takes place during the Bourbon Restoration and the July Monarchy, though there are several novels which take place during the French Revolution and others which take place of in the Middle Ages or the Renaissance, including About Catherine de Medici and The Elixir of Long Life.
