What is a Lycan to do when the world begins to end around her? Exactly as she pleases, turning life after the apocalypse into an adventure to make the world a more fun place. At least for her. When portals open to other worlds, an influx of mana crashes the grid and the monsters and cultivation techniques of fantasy novels become her new reality, she can either embrace change and stand atop the world as a hero or die in obscurity. It had been almost a month since the first portals opened, since mana spiked into the long dormant ley lines of Earth and blew out the majority of the world's power grid. Almost a month since humanity found out they weren't alone in the universe, that in fact they'd never been alone even on their own world. Since the handful of remaining Fae, the vampire and witch covens, the werewolf and Lycan packs had become public knowledge. Knowledge that many were not at all prepared to accept. The leaders of the various supernatural factions had convened and decided that hiding our presence was no longer in our best interests, that it was more important to control public opinions than to continue to exist in anonymity. And that's where our story starts

Una fredda e tempestosa sera, nella sinistra dimora della Famiglia Addams, Mercoledì Addams, la figlia più oscura e eccentrica, aveva un insolito sorriso stampato sul volto. Aveva un piano malvagio in mente: voleva liberare la sua famigerata mano scorpione, una creatura mostruosa che era stata allevata dalla sua famiglia fin dall'infanzia. Mercoledì aveva sempre avuto una predilezione per quest'organismo spaventoso, ma i suoi genitori erano stati di vista diversa. Non avevano voluto che il suo amore per il macabro diventasse troppo pericoloso. Ma quella sera, Mercoledì aveva deciso di sfidarli. Nascondendo la sua mano scorpione sotto il suo cappotto lungo e nero, Mercoledì si recò nel salotto principale, dove la sua famiglia stava cenando. Senza dire una parola, si avvicinò al tavolo, mentre i suoi genitori la guardarono perplessi. "Mercoledì, cosa stai nascondendo dietro il tuo cappotto?" domandò Morticia, la madre di Mercoledì, con una certa preoccupazione nella sua voce. Mercoledì mise lentamente la mano sul tavolo e poi, con un sorriso sinistro, si tolse il cappotto, svelando la mano scorpione che era legata al suo polso con un guinzaglio di pelle nera. Tutti nella stanza si bloccarono all'istante, spalancando gli occhi di fronte alla visione orribile. Gomez, il padre di Mercoledì, fu il primo a riprendersi dallo shock. "Mercoledì, cosa diavolo stai facendo? Abbiamo detto che non dovevi mai lasciarla libera!" gridò, cercando di controllare la situazione. Mercoledì si avvicinò al tavolo, abbracciando il suo animale domestico sinistro. "Ma papà, la mano scorpione è parte della nostra famiglia. Non posso tenere n

Asymmetric warfare is a conflict between belligerents of drastically different levels of military capability or size. Biological warfare, or germ warfare, is the use of weaponized biological toxins or infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Chemical warfare involves the use of weaponized chemicals in combat. Poison gas as a chemical weapon was principally used during World War I, and resulted in over a million estimated casualties, including more than 100,000 civilians.[25] Cold warfare is an intense international rivalry without direct military conflict, but with a sustained threat of it, including high levels of military preparations, expenditures, and development, and may involve active conflicts by indirect means, such as economic warfare, political warfare, covert operations, espionage, cyberwarfare, or proxy wars. Conventional warfare is declared war between states in which nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons are not used or see limited deployment. Cyberwarfare involves the actions by a nation-state or international organization to attack and attempt to damage another nation's information systems. Insurgency is a rebellion against authority, when those taking part in the rebellion are not recognized as belligerents (lawful combatants). An insurgency can be fought via counterinsurgency, and may also be opposed by measures to protect the population, and by political and economic actions of various kinds aimed at undermining the insurgents' claims against the incumbent regime. Information warfare is the application of destructive force on a large scale against information assets and systems, against the computers and networks that support the four critical infrastructures (the power grid, communications, financial, and transportation).[26] Nuclear warfare is warfare in which nuclear weapons are the primary, or a major, method of achieving capitulation. Total war is warfare by any means possible, disregarding the laws of war, placing no limits on legitimate military targets, using weapons and tactics resulting in significant civilian casualties, or demanding a war effort requiring significant sacrifices by the friendly civilian population. Unconventional warfare, the opposite of conventional warfare, is an attempt to achieve military victory through acquiescence, capitulation, or clandestine support for one side of an existing conflict.

These trees were my home, their branches more friends to me than any human being on this planet. The reason behind my parents paranoia was lost on me, and I yearned for a normal life for so long, but as the days turned to weeks, weeks to months, and months to years, the hope of ever escaping this place dwindled to nothing. That is, until I wander beyond the tree line, and into a portion of the woods my mother explicitly told me not to cross. Within the tall trees and forest over growth I met the one person who could truly save me from this place. But the question remains, can I trust her?

Hello, I am not expecting anything much with this novel because this is my first time writing and I am a 15 year old student but believe me this story is not going to be disappointing or boring in the least. I feel as an author it is my duty to provide a satisfactory story so rest assured I will definitely see this work to the end. Now let’s move on with our story. The world building is gonna be huge but not to another dimension or planet. I plan to encompass vastly different areas and terrains into my story as to fit several themes I have in my mind. The story is not gonna be super fast like moving from continent to continent in a week but i would like to move on from a place after completing the mcs purpose there. The mcs name is Rin. There isn’t a big reason as to why I choose this name it’s pretty simple and I like it there’s no more to it. The mc is not gonna be some cold hearted killing machine or a naive kid. I plan to make the mc as human as possible but not to the point where he’s sitting on his bed like me every morning and thinking about the meaning of life. kindness is a virtue I greatly admire. As much as I like fang yuan I can’t have a mc like him in my first story. You can expect different characters and mixed themes here and there. now let’s move on to romance, I haven’t given much thought to the topic and tbh I have zero experience in it (15 year old remember) but as much as I understand about it I will try to write it. Now enough yapping. Overall you readers are going to accompany Rin as he goes from a powerless orphan to an individual respected and feared by nations. A mage shielding her comrades against certain death, An archer stopping the advance of an entire army on her own, A lance standing at the very forefront leading countless warriors, A single sword against the world, a necromancer against kingdoms. You readers are gonna see all it. Let’s look forward to my book. Thank you for giving it a try. The name of the book is storm chaser because the mc is always gonna be chasing chaos. seemingly in the centre of every brewing conflict and the he will always find himself in the most interesting situations
