Ascension Stories

Humans are on the verge of extinction on Earth, of otherworldly, mysterious gates that unleash catastrophic demons, known as portals. Natsuya, a determined delinquent with no faith in freedom, is rejected from the Hunter Program of the Cosmic Power Restoration Corporation (CPRC), not because of his ambition, but because he has less potential for an E-Grade. Hunters exist in this world to fend off threats that overpower humanity, using their leveling-up abilities and game-like interactive interface, their inventory to store weapons, putting points into their potential, and much more. After a life-altering incident, everything changes. His reputation as "the Weakest" begins to fade, setting him on a path to rise, grow, and ultimately become a force remembered for erasing the demons that threaten existence itself, thereby changing his belief in liberation. He attained a primordial power that transformed him into a cosmic being, enabling him to survive this accursed world with adaptability, responsibility, and friendship. Although he had faced trauma and struggles to be brave, he used all his strength to defend and fight for mankind and the Sovereigns, from its opposing threats named the Tyrants, leading to the end of humanity. It's Peace from Freedom, or Power. "It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows." - Epictetus Updates Weekly.

Under a fiery sky, a merciless desert shapes rival kingdoms where water is worth more than gold. Behind impregnable walls, rulers govern through fear, while merchants, spies, and exiles forge fragile alliances. Amid the sandstorms, a once‑scattered people has risen, uniting tribes and moving across the dunes like armed shadows. Trade, faith, and survival intertwine in a world where every promise hides a trap.

She sees Cazador, beaten and broken on the ground. "...I know." The words finally break free from her tightening throat. Her eyebrows furrow just enough as she meets his eyes again, her jaw sets. "That's why I can't, Astarion." "...What?" The dagger held in his palm glistens as it turns. With a tilt of his head, he searches her eyes for any give but he knows her answer is... final. Done. He can't talk her into this, and that more than anything proves to be the first and final nail in the coffin. "Astarion, I need you to understand exactly what it is you're asking me to do. To understand why I'm saying no-" "No." His expression contorts just slightly, grip tightening around the dagger, nostrils flaring in a way she's seen many times - but never once directed towards her. "I understand completely." Elkyra can sense the line he just drew, a valley with it's connecting bridge reduced to glittering embers. The one she so carefully built, gone beneath her feet. ______________________________________________ This is an exploration of a headcanon idea I had, born from a bad dice roll.

"To survive the noise of the world, you must first become its only inhabitant." In a world governed by sensory overload and emotional chaos, the ATARAXIS protocol is the ultimate escape. It is a neural masterpiece-a clinical procedure designed to induce 'The Prism.' It strips away empathy, muffles the screams of the masses, and grants the user a state of perfect, solitary peace. They call it the Prism of the Only Child. To the elite, it is a weapon. To the broken, it is a sanctuary. But for Tatsbita, the silence is a lie. As the third stage of the protocol locks into place, the system begins to fracture. A golden light bleeds through the chrome-plated void. A presence that shouldn't exist-cannot exist-tears through the digital inhibitors.

I spent the better part of my life full time training/fighting/coaching with one of the toughest mma coach's & all male fight teams on the planet. Driven to see my sport go mainstream & make sure women evolve with it. Ten years ago when it finally did, I was called away and led to Yaje. Where I would meet my twin counterpart; a indigenous Amazonian Secoya elder. I was shown we have been channeling plant songs for lifetimes, and asked if I wanted to accept the agreement to do so in this life. At first I didn't believe a non indigenous crazy O.C fighter girl was worthy of these songs, so resisted until I got so sick, it was either step up or game over. The La.W is my personal journey transforming extreme darkness to light. Going from hate to love, The backwards way. Girded with laughter & love which would inevitably guide me home. Learning it's not who we "were" that matters, but rather who we "are" as we reinvent ourselves in each new now moment. When we stop giving our power away to others. We realize we have always had the power to accomplish & transform ANYTHING "including" spontaneously heal ourselves. Obviously, we cannot transform darkness without first having known it. So embracing our challenge(s), knowing they're self created, fulfilling a positive purpose. Puts us in the state to transform & experience them positively.

Six years ago, billions of people vanished. The world called it the Ascension. Some called it the Rapture. Humanity never found answers. Captain Adrian "Warden" Walker survived the day the world changed. Since then, he's spent his life fighting to hold together what remains of civilization as a member of Task Force 7, an elite special operations unit known as The Remnants. When a routine mission to eliminate a high-value target goes horribly wrong, Adrian discovers something impossible: a mysterious computer chip labeled JULY. What begins as a simple retrieval operation quickly spirals into a conspiracy buried beneath the ashes of the Ascension. A voice inside his combat helmet claims to be July, but she isn't a virus, an ordinary AI, or anything Adrian has ever encountered before. She has no memory of who she is, why powerful people want her destroyed, or what role she played in humanity's darkest day. As Adrian and his team uncover hidden recordings, classified secrets, and long-buried truths, they begin to question everything they thought they knew about the Ascension. The deeper they dig, the more dangerous the answers become. Because if July is telling the truth, then the event that reshaped the world wasn't an act of God. It was planned. And someone will do anything to keep that secret buried. In a world built on faith, fear, and lies, one soldier and a voice in his armor may be the last hope humanity has left.

I don't know when it started. All I know is that you've been with me longer than this life. This is a collection of what I felt, what I remembered, and what I couldn't say out loud. Some of it is soft. Some of it is heavy. All of it is real. This isn't about finding love. It's about recognizing it.

A short literary piece expressing hope towards the needed change and growth of the human civilization.

A story of ego and inner turmoil as I traverse myself, discovering a multifaceted and complex being personified by multiple characters of varying intent.

Conflict, we feel it within each of us every day. Conflict is inevitable, whether that be disagreeing over what to have for dinner, an argument between friends, or even a worldwide catastrophe. From the moment the universe was born, conflict was inevitable. It is in human nature to be drawn to conflict. So watch and judge as Humanity struggles in its ever-growing conquest to survive, and all shall see if they are worthy of Ascension.

I Am the I Am." This introduction reveals his dual life as both a covert agent and a spiritual figure destined to lead a new age of enlightenment. His mission transcends espionage, rooted in ancient prophecies and cosmic battles between good and evil.

In a distant future where Earth is ruled by an unseen godlike tyrant known only as The Highest One, humanity has been chained in a system of lies, war, and control for over twelve thousand years. Enforced by the elite Seven Nobles and their ruthless Shadow Agents, a single world government keeps nations fractured, citizens divided by class, and rebellion crushed from orbit. Suspended above the planet is the shattered husk of the moon-once a powerful weapons base now fractured, its remnants a scar in the sky and a symbol of defiance. But hidden beneath the ruins of forgotten civilizations and buried history lies an ancient prophecy: that a child of light shall rise, a phoenix reborn to ignite a revolution against the forces that enslave mankind. Long erased from records and memory, this prophecy becomes a beacon in the darkness when a mysterious sage awakens supernatural power and launches the first blow against the lunar oppressors, triggering a cataclysm that sends the world spiraling into chaos. As the Great People's War erupts across continents and starless skies, factions rise, loyalties fracture, and the truth begins to surface-truth about humanity's origins, the lost golden age of Avallon, and the divine spark still hidden within the human soul. At the heart of it all is the search for the prophesied child, whose awakening is said to save the world and bring liberation to all of mankind.

Awaken. In a twist of cosmic fate, you are mortal no longer. Incredible powers, insurmountable wealth, worshipful harems, and so much more are yours.
