    Our world is dying. Many years ago, after the war broke out, Earth became un-inhabitable. So the only solution was to place the survivors in a dome, cut off from the rest of the world. In this dome we created a new form of civilization. Our new world was nothing but a small portion of the Earth. The rest of the world have become nothing but toxic waste. Long ago before my birth, the government grew afraid of how our species would survive. In their desperation to find a way to live outside of the dome, they decided to experiment with fetuses without the knowledge of its mother and father. In the last two decade, the scientists have conducted experiments that mutated the child's genes. This experiment was done on at least a hundred unborn baby's. When the first mutated child was born, they exposed it to the outside air. It wasn't long after that it died. Afraid that the people would find out, they decided to stop the experiment swearing by secrecy to never tell the populous. However, just as it is with everything in this world, some secrets were never meant to stay hidden. ____________________________ THIS BOOK IS MINE AND ANYONE WHO TRIES TO COPY IT OR WRITE IT IN ANY FORM THAT IS ANYWHERE THE SAME AS MINE WILL BE REPORTED! TRUST ME, I WON'T HESITATE AND EVEN IF YOU THINK HOW IN THE WORLD AM I GOING TO FIND OUT, OH HONEY I WILL! Okay, now that is out of the way...please check out my book! Thanks

    This is about a man named Isaac who wakes thousands of years after his death, to the city he grew up in sunken into the earth, in ruins and completely deserted. Miles above Ruul the god of the world survey's the land and its creatures in utter unequivocal weariness. He has lived through the worlds end already, many times before, but thing seem direr this time than they ever have before. Still he prepares for the coming age of ending, collecting his power, and coaching Retrich, the previous Revenant on his coming task. In the distance stands the shard city of Torivast, the corrupting force holding power over all the cities of the world. Bar one...Isaac's. Isaac must embark on a journey so painful and desperate, he begins to wonder if he has been cursed, if Ruul had damned him, but soon he will learn his fate. This is a WIP, I've only managed the first chapter of the first revision and was just hoping to see if I could find any interest in it.

    "This world changed in just a few minutes. . ., but most importantly, WE changed." I just won the bingo and became the unluckiest person on earth. How? Well, that I don't know either, but what I do know is that I'll gladly return the favor when I find the one responsible for the destruction of my world. I've been chosen to Save the universe. How again? You may ask, all I need to do is to find "The Amethyst". Easy right..., and I got to say the universe made a big mistake choosing me because I'm the last person on earth who'd be able to pull this off. So, will I die in the progress? Probably. Do I really care anymore? No. Nothing is as it seems with power lurking in the dark, and secrets coming into the light.

    Everything collides in the end. Clear blue waters of the river trickled every so quietly as pink flowers bloomed in the lively meadow. Life itself was beautiful. People thrived and nature decorated the living soul. But not everything remained beautiful. The humans became corrupt, pollution killed much of the gorgeous nature and life slowly drained from the Earth. In an attempt to save Her creation, Mother Nature absorbed the pollution, all the bad that had begun to taint her world, only to find that it changed her. She found herself furious, angry at the humans for damaging such a beautiful creation, something she had worked so hard to make. So, instead of keeping all the absorbed Toxins within, she threw it back at the humans. She would start over. She would make something beautiful. Instead, she created something twisted. She created the Shadowfall.

    Halcyon: "Denoting a period of time in the past that was idyllically happy & peaceful." Earth doesn't last forever, reality doesn't last forever. But technology does, the virtual life - the perfect life - lasts for all eternity. Axperian is here to help, to offer solace, a second chance to flee the crumbling reality. They offer peace, stability, longevity, happiness beyond what anyone thought they could expect to find within the virtual realm. Halcyon is there as a home, a city buzzing with life and prosperity. All Axperian asks is to forget reality, forget the period of time that wasn't idyllic, that wasn't happy. And if you say no, if you eventually come to see, if you become paranoid about the true reality - it's the void you'll meet. So, won't you come and enter the Halcyon Station, the gateway to happiness? Please, stay and live the virtual life, the perfect life. Cover photo by https://unsplash.com/@efekurnaz

    On this dying Earth; I have seen : The Day After Tomorrow ! Its a beautiful sunshine, A fresh morning,and A night of peace. Have you seen it ? It is true; Everything is so different now : The nature of humans, The voice of birds, The simplicity in animals, The essence is missing. Our Earth is dying; As if a dark spell, Casted by a witch ! Everyone is so busy, That our eyes cant't even see it. We are so blinded, With the selfishness, With being self centered, That hardly anyone initiate efforts : To predict the uncertainty in future. To predict; The Day After Tomorrow !!! - Aniruddha
