A Curse Of Truth

At the stroke of midnight, the world changed forever. Every human being felt it—a deep, primal awakening within their very soul. For Adam, an 18-year-old college student with an insatiable thirst for knowledge, this moment marked the beginning of something extraordinary. A mysterious screen appeared before him, revealing a truth beyond his comprehension: He had awakened. Gifted with the unique ability of Insight, Adam could now perceive hidden truths, analyze structures, and uncover secrets buried within reality itself. As the world plunges into chaos, with people discovering newfound abilities, societies teeter on the edge of transformation. Some will rise to power, others will fall into madness, and a select few will seek to unravel the mystery behind their awakening. Adam, driven by curiosity rather than ambition, embarks on a path no one else dares to tread—the pursuit of absolute truth. But knowledge is dangerous, and the more he learns, the more he realizes: something—or someone—has orchestrated this grand awakening. And in a world where the impossible has become possible, the greatest danger lies not in what is known, but in what remains hidden. In a reality rewritten by fate, will Adam's quest for truth lead to salvation—or ruin?

Time is broken. And Alpha is the only one who can fix it. The day Alpha dies should have been the end. Instead, it’s the beginning. Caught in an endless loop of his own demise, he wakes to the same moment, the same choices, the same inevitable failure. Each time, the world shifts, small changes, subtle ripples but the outcome remains the same. Something is watching. Something powerful. Something that should not exist. The Riftborn, creatures from beyond time itself, lurk in the cracks of reality, feeding on the chaos of his repeating fate. But as Alpha struggles to break free, he begins to unravel the deeper truth: he is not the first to be cursed, nor will he be the last. Somewhere in the echoes of history lies the secret to ending the cycle. A power older than magic itself. A force that bends time, not as a prison, but as a weapon. But power comes at a price. And if Alpha cannot master the curse, he won’t just lose himself to the loop. He’ll lose everything.

Robin Burton is a young man who grow with everything anyone can hope for, immense talent for cultivation, sharp mind, a wealthy family that will stop at nothing to protect and nurture him. He had everything except the willingness to take them. "Why would I take the same route as my ancestors ? why should I become stronger? to beat this and compete with that..?! THAT IS NOT WHAT I WAS BORN FOR!!" Robin didn't want to compete with young masters, so he made an army and started invading planets.

A cursed warrior must find his place in the new world he finds himself after surviving 3 millennia cycles of death.

Auren was the star of his generation. Graduated the combat school at the age of 12, mental fortitude was beyond his peers, and he was considered the talent of the Western State of Lysendral. It was for this reason that his awakening was greatly anticipated. Everyone was sure the star would receive a Divine Blessing from the Archon. And like others before him, be set on a definite journey to becoming the strongest Blessed in the history of the world. However, expectations were shattered when Auren awakened a Divine… Curse. “Such a phenomenon has never been heard of!” “How can a human awaken a curse! This is an abomination! Kill him! Sacrifice him to the archons!” In such a slight moment of appointment, Auren's entire life came crashing down. And he became a national criminal. Locked up and sentenced to death for having receiving a curse instead of a blessing. A 16 year old boy was ruthlessly killed by a guillotine and offered as a sacrifice to prevent doom… and the people relished in it. However, this was not the end for Auren. [Congratulations, you have died by execution], [Conditions have been met] [You have challenged your first fester.] [A requiem beckons onto you..] [...Your resurrection awaits.] Having broken the shackles of death, Auren rises again to seek vengeance and destroy not just the nation that had killed him but tear down the very existence of the archons themselves. But is everything really as it seems?

*"For the restless hearts searching for meaning in the echoes of their past. May you find the courage to face your truth and the strength to embrace your redemption."* **"Shadows of the Forgotten Truth"** He has everything—success, wealth, and admiration. Yet, deep inside, there’s a void he cannot escape. Haunted by his past, trapped by people’s expectations, and burdened by unseen guilt, he finds himself questioning: **Who am I? What is my purpose?** A single event shatters his carefully built world, forcing him onto a path he never expected. As he searches for meaning, he encounters a wise mentor who speaks in riddles, a woman who has embraced peace despite her own scars, and a friend who sees the truth but lets him find his own way. Yet, the greatest battle is not with the world—it is within himself. **His desires pull him back, his past whispers doubts, and the shadows of forgotten truths loom over him.** As secrets unravel and realities shift, he must face the one question he’s avoided all his life: **Can he truly change? And if he does, will the world ever let him forget who he once was?** *"Sometimes, the truth we seek has been hidden in our own shadows all along..."*

A boy forgotten by the world—because he had allowed it. Born into a world that had once given him hope, he must create his path, with no past life to anchor from. The past never fades, even a millennia later. Ancient relics were lost but unearthed once again. The gods may have placed it there but for a good reason. Not to be touched, away from the unworthy.

The modern age of human society had undergone an evolution that changed it forever. Mana had arrived on Earth, and with it, came a meteor shower that threatened to reduce humanity to nothing but rubble and debris. Earth's governments were thrown into chaos because of this, and many military units were deployed to protect the masses from what they could only assume to be the end of the world. Using the most advanced arsenal possessed by the various world military governments, the adverse effects of the meteor shower had been controlled to an incredible degree, protecting most of Earth's inhabitants from utter annihilation. There were countries that were destroyed, leaderships and citizens wiped from the face of the Earth. Reconstruction had to be done to bring the demolished landscapes back to their former glory. It seemed like everything had gone back to normal, however, that was far from the case. Months after the meteor shower incident, world renouned scientists dedicated their time to studying these strange crystalline meteorites. Years later, and something ground breaking had been discovered-abilities. These meteorites, they weren't actually meteorites, but crystals. Where they had come from was unknown and still being researched up till today. From the crystals came abilities that changed humanity forever. Those who could afford the crystals were fortuate enough to obtain strange powers from within. Fire, boulder, serpent, and many others. Many more years passed by, and more and more was being discovered about abilities and the crystals they came from. Everything seemed to be heading up after the phenomenon that nearly destroyed the Earth, but not everything was for the benefit of everyone. For many years, most were oblivious to the presence of abilities on Earth. It wasn't until an alien invasion occoured, that the information on abilities was made public. Strong ability users were needed to defend Earth against the Shales. The government, private and public corporations, and many others, they were all monetizing whatever crystals they could get their hands on, using it as a means of earning revenye from the populace. Those who were rich enough to purchase ability crystals could become ability users, while those who couldn't would simply remain as regular humans. Many rich families in the new world were able to obtain strong abilities for themselves and their children; the ones who would continue their lineage and glory once their parents are no more. In order to learn how to defend humanity from the invasion of the aliens, people from the ages of 16 were ordered to attend a military academy by the decree of the federal government of their respective countries. Failure to abide by this law was punishable by jail time. Kayden, a sixteen-year-old from a city known as Black Saber city. Having lost his parents at a very yoing age, he had to live with his single uncle and his cousin. Like many other teenagers his age, he desired to attend military school to learn how to fight against the Shales. However, being unable to afford an ability, his dreams of becoming powerful seemed like they would be crushed, but that all changed the day he had been given a system that allows him to unlock monsters by completing quests. On his path to evolve, he must face multiple challenges, complete quests and go on missions just to grow in strength. For in the current world, only the strong are regarded, while the weak are cast aside and forgotten. That was the general rule, the rule that governed everything that happened. From a crystal, came a power that changed his life. Now, he must do whatever it takes to save the people he loves and cares about. He must make sure that he doesn't loose the people he cares about once more.
