Sleepaway Camp

Rebels respite

"In the heart of darkness, where the echoes of forgotten sorrows linger, a question hangs heavy in the air: What does it truly mean to fight for a cause greater than oneself? As the flames of conflict engulf a realm torn asunder by war, one must confront the specter of destiny and ask: Can one person change the course of history, or are we mere pawns in a game played by gods and men alike?" ______________________________________________________________________ In the dead of night, a chance encounter with a familiar face leads our protagonist, our MC, to a life-altering decision. Racing to save the girl from an oncoming truck, our MC is struck down before he can even process the outcome. Awakening in a new world as Aurelio Ignis, a 12-year-old boy, he finds himself navigating unfamiliar surroundings with a sense of both trepidation and curiosity. Despite the initial shock of his reincarnation, Aurelio embraces his new life, forging friendships and experiencing the simple joys denied to him in his past existence. However, tranquility is shattered when war erupts between the kingdom and the neighboring 6th Veridian empire. Villages are razed, innocent lives lost, and international law disregarded, yet the world remains ominously silent in the face of injustice. Forced to flee to the capital city of Meraleth, Aurelio and his family seek refuge in a crowded refugee camp, where a grim announcement awaits them: all males aged 14, 15, and 16 are to be conscripted into the army. With his fate sealed, Aurelio is thrust into the midst of conflict, tasked with reclaiming the annexed territories and fulfilling a promise made to his family: to survive until the war's end. As Aurelio grapples with the weight of his responsibilities, the echoes of his past haunt him, driving him to confront the injustices that threaten to consume his world. Will he emerge victorious, bringing justice to the innocent lives lost, or will he succumb to the same fate that befell his brethren, leaving the dream of peace a distant memory? -------------- Some info: Release frequency- No fixed frequency, whenever I get time ig? Expect some insane power scaling in later chapters (Around the end of the Dusk to destiny arc (vol 2) ) A lot of characters, places, weapons and other stuff will be based on real historical events and names and whatnot. There isn't any sort of magic, and any powerful characters will be powerful purely due to their overall physicality intelligence and whatnot.

Empire Ascension: The Rise of the Fated One

This is the story of a modern man who transmigrates to 16th-century India in a parallel world after dying to save his first crush on a date. He regresses as a lowly-ranked soldier in the camp of Hemu, the last northern Hindu king, who is fated to lose and die at the hands of the Mughals. With his modern knowledge and past experiences, the protagonist alters the course of history, forcing the Mughals to surrender and retreat beyond the Ravi River, which is in modern-day Pakistan. As a reward, he is granted trading rights and becomes the emperor’s personal attendant. Using this opportunity, he sets out to reshape the empire. By promoting private enterprise, establishing trading company, and creating opportunities for the lower communities, he begins to shift India’s economy away from the feudal system toward modern capitalism. And all this began with the advent of his mercenary army, which excelled in firearms far ahead of its time. His journey is filled with trials, including internal turmoil, political strife, and the looming threat of invasion from the Mughals in the west, Tibet from the north and the Dutch and Portuguese in the south. As the emperor’s trusted aide, the protagonist not only rescues the crumbling empire but also forges his own path, eventually claiming the title of emperor himself. Join him on this incredible journey of empire's ascension, as he explores how India could have been in the 16th century if history had taken a different course. With just one battle's result, the fate of the entire world is transformed.

Les histoires horribles de l'Era Nocturna Vol 1 : L'épopée de Karnen

"Il y a bien longtemps, il n'y avait rien... Que les ténèbres et le néant. Arnon décida de créer la lumière pour créer la vie et plus principalement l'homme comme être conscient sous cette lumière. Mais Gridlock, le dieu des ténèbres et du néant se réveilla du fait de cette lumière et jaloux voulut créer aussi ses propres enfants dans le monde du néant et de la nuit, mais petit à petit la lumière gagnait l'univers et les créatures de Gridlock disparaissaient détruites par la lumière. Gridlock voulut par la ruse demander a Arnon d'enlever certaines étoiles, planètes, astres afin que ces enfants , qui avaient pris forme humaine pour séduire le Dieu, puissent vivre en paix et en harmonie avec la progéniture d'Arnon. Arnon trop sage et bon accepta sa demande et la terre fut donc privée de toute lumière proche et les premiers hommes apparurent dans le néant infini sans rien voir et devenant fou puis surtout devenant des proies des enfants de Gridlock. Arnon n'avait pas le temps de recréer les astres apportant la lumière a tant avant que les hommes primitifs disparaissent donc il a offert une étincelle de lumière : le feu. Par le feu, les premiers hommes purent se défendre contre les créatures de la nuit en s'en servant comme armes et moyens de créer des frontières près de leurs logis, mais petit à petit le feu se fit plus rare du fait d'un usage trop excessif et des aléas du temps et les créatures de Gridlock revinrent. Gridlock rendit par la peur et la violence le cœur de l'homme mauvais, il y eut des guerres pour cette ressource et l'homme brûla le monde et sacrifia la nature pour tuer à tout prix tous les enfants de ce mauvais dieu. Ces brasiers mondiaux éradiquèrent pratiquement les deux camps. Arnon a, pendant ce temps, réussi à créer un pouvoir de lumière dans un astre : le soleil pour éclairer ce monde. Face à une défaite imminente, Gridlock, malin, décide de négocier en tournant l'esprit de certains humains qui avaient perdu des proches pris par les forces des ténèbres. Il leur promit que leurs proches damnés ne seraient pas détruits entièrement et pourraient continuer à vivre auprès d'eux même être guérie s'ils pouvaient encore vivre loin de la lumière dans un temps sans l'astre d'Arnon appelé Nuit. Arnon, entraîné par les plaintes des hommes, décida de créer un cycle nommé jour et nuit pour les deux camps, mais encore une fois, il fut trompé par Gridlock, car la durée de ces cycles ne fut jamais actée. Des jours durèrent des semaines et des nuits des mois. Durant les périodes de lumière, les hommes pouvaient prospérer et vivre, mais quand l'era nocturna ou la nuit de Gridlock arrivait, il devait se barricader et survivre face aux monstres de la nuit, enfant de ce dieu terrible. Ainsi, il en est et ainsi, il en sera quand reviendra sur ce monde l'era Nocturna."

False Gods: Apocalypse

It was just a normal night but it was unknown to many that a disastrous event was underway. The night sky bursts into a crimson-gold hue, illuminating the landscape as a planet-altering extraterrestrial meteor collides with the Evermoon World bringing destruction in its wake. This cosmic event completely changed the planet as a wave of primal force swept through Evermoon. Animals turned into terrifying beasts, some plants gained self-awareness, and the humans who managed to withstand the wave of primal force awakened the ability to acquire strength by defeating powerful enemies. And those who did not turned into man-eating mutants and zombies. The entire planet entered a new era where the old laws fell. The only law was the law of the jungle where the strongest devoured the weakest.

Or overcome all obstacles and struggle towards evolution! Initially only hoping to get his friends and escape to a refugee camp, our protagonist sets out, inadvertently building a team along the way. After a series of fortuitous events and a few serious hunches our hero decides it's time to do more than just survive! However, it seemed that Evermoon also had its hidden side that humans would discover in a very uncanny way. And was evolution the last of it?

Hearts Ballot

Kingdom of the Three Kings Fair Oaks Prep isn't just a school—it's a battlefield where the Three Kings reign supreme. Their word is law, their favor is everything, and crossing them? Social suicide. Guess which camp I've stumbled into? Kingston Blake, the golden boy ruler, wants me crushed beneath his Gucci loafers. But my family bled themselves dry to get me here, and I refuse to become another notch on his belt of fallen enemies. Graduating is my only escape route, even if it means waging war against Fair Oaks' untouchable heir. Picture this: you're navigating halls where whispers follow your every move, knowing the most powerful guy in school has painted a target on your back—and you're clueless about why. Now amp that up with him being a billionaire's son and the star quarterback whose mission is to break you. Welcome to my senior year hell. Population: me. I never asked to be Kingston Blake's nemesis. But as the battle lines are drawn and every day becomes a struggle to survive, I'm discovering strengths I never knew I had. The shy bookworm is gone, replaced by someone who's learning to bite back. And the most twisted part of this war? With every clash, every heated glare, I'm starting to see cracks in Kingston's perfect façade. There's a storm brewing behind those icy blue eyes, and I'm not sure if I want to run from it... or dive right in. They say revenge is a dish best served cold, but as I rise from the ashes of Kingston's torment, I'm finding it burns hot enough to consume us both. The tables are turning, the underdog is growling, and Fair Oaks is about to learn that even kings can fall. Question is, when the dust settles, will Kingston and I be standing on opposite sides of the battlefield—or in each other's arms?
