    Human Uniqueness, ingenuity and creativity has resulted in continuing social progress, technological innovation and scientific achievement. In all of which we should have pride. But does that pride also result in overinflated self-importance? When a ship of alien origin is spotted travelling toward Earth, will that self-importance prevent us from recognizing the true reason they are here?

    The Final Testimony of John Fullen The last words and statements regarding the Expedition of 806's sole survivor, now residing in Creekford Asylum. 'What horrors could drive a man insane?' These were the same thoughts of the public when the news broke that John Fullen had come back to the realm of the living. The Mad Druid Blackhearst known for its proximity to both the Order of Light and the Mistveil shrouded in mystery, has also been afflicted by the presence of a Mad Druid in their midst. Adjudicator Sean Crownhammer is sent to investigate the doings and evidence against the Druid in light of their recent burning. The Border Provinces are known to be more lawless than the core of the Realms of Men, but justice must be found fairly lest we become wolves in sheep's clothing.

    The year is 2050. The oceans are drowning the world, and humanity is desperate. Engineer Marcus Leinhart, driven by grief and a boundless ambition, offers salvation: Project Acheron, a colossal drilling operation designed to drain the rising sea into a presumed cavity deep within the Earth's crust. Despite the frantic warnings of climate scientist Dr. Aria Wen-a brilliant "Cassandra" paralyzed by predictive anxiety-the world embraces the miracle. The drill breaches the lithosphere, and the water level drops five feet in an hour. Humanity cheers. Marcus is a hero. But the relief is a mirage. The earth begins to drink, and the drink turns to a torrent. Sea levels plummet far below pre-industrial norms, revealing stinking, toxic deserts of exposed continental shelf littered with ancient shipwrecks. The once-drowning world is now consumed by The Great Thirst. Aria realizes the terrifying truth: they didn't find an empty cavity; they shattered a pressurized, stabilizing seal. The planet is "breathing" the ocean in to equalize pressure, and its seismic "heartbeat" signals a cataclysmic endgame: total crustal slippage that will wipe out all life. Forced into an uneasy alliance, Aria and a shattered Marcus must descend into the deepening, groaning abyss of the abandoned Acheron rig, down past the rock and into a subterranean world of super-heated steam and terrifying crystal formations. They have triggered an extinction event, one that occurred naturally 250 million years ago. Now, with time running out and the survival of billions resting on a final, impossible choice, they must decide if technology can still save them-or if the price of hubris is a sacrifice greater than either of them can bear.

    'The Alabaster Brothers will be coming soon. And this time, they won't win. Not with me in their way.' Rik went back in time. He found himself back at the Stumptlandia, a destroyed place in his memory, but was standing tall in front of his eyes right now (it still looks pretty small to him, maybe still under construction?). Determination soon filled his body, creating himself a promise to this other Rik and his friends. A promise to lead them to avoid disaster that was coming to them. A vow to help them find a better future. A future that he won't be able to reach. An oath to their Happy Ending. [This is a three-chapter fan-fiction of Stumpt, a 4-player Youtube channel that I've been following for some years now. Constructive criticisms are welcomed. Enjoy!]
