British soldiers swept through China's defenses with slight resistance until the country was fully occupied. Martial artists fled to the Beijing River and built small settlements. The original Fu Jow Pai masters were on the verge of extinction by the river. They hoped to carry on their legacy through those that would come after them. 

A descendant of the last original martial artist was born in 1876. Will he be vital to China's re-emergence? To stand in the face of oppression? Is a story that is yet to be revealed.All Rights Reserved

Can You Conquer The World With Martial Arts? by SuperMushroomGami

In a world not unlike our own, the rapid progress of martial arts had empowered a small group of rebels with supernatural abilities and fostered an unprecedented uprising. The long lived Emperor Taizong's vast army had been routed by the bandit Huang Chao and his gang of commoners. The emperor himself was forced to fend for his life and the fate of his empire in single combat. For the very first time it was personal prowess, not governance and strategy, that dictated the tide of history. Although the emperor had won the battle and forced the rebels into hiding, all semblance of order had been lost and the country splintered, as what little remained of the central government could not reestablish full control of their territory. The countless sects that made up the martial arts society rose up to the occasion to fill the gaps left by the ailing empire, be it to protect or to exploit the common people. Almost two hundred years later, what was once the martial arts underworld had become the forefront of society. What were once sects were now kingdoms, while armies had turned into lone, prodigious swords, upon the edges of which teetered the fates of countless thousands. As law became whim, as technology stagnated, as society regressed, as chaos ruled the land... ...only a single question ran through the minds of the warlords responsible for it all.

Crumbling Barriers (paused for the time being, sorry) by FluffyKoi13247

(I suggest you read the tags first because I made some of them pretty funny) The brutal way in which Angels are forced to fall, tying them down to rip off their wings and then dragging down their halos to permanently encircle their necks, all those sentenced to exile are forced to face. Once you leave you may not come back unless ordered to. America, an Angel forced to become one with the Fallen, was gifted to opportunity to re-enter and integrate back into the Angelic Society. Something no Fallen Angel has been able to do. Him and a small group of other Fallen Angels, as well as his found brother, a Demon, became a part of a government run program to see if reintegration was even possible. The small group have no choice but to put up with the insistent bulling and borderline terrorism from the students at an all Angel academy. Some of the Fallen fell once again, in a better way this time. No, that doesn't sound right.. What happened that night was never supposed to happen, so why did you agree to relive all of it? You could've lived perfectly fine how you were in your past life. It wasn't even worth it, was it... #1 in itsgay, we slayed, yas Over 1k reads thank y'all so much!!

Neolithic by duncmacphun

The first agricultural revolutions began about 10,000 BCE in Egypt, China and Mesopotamia (Iraq). Trading require counting and the first written language; in general use by 2600 BCE. The first epic poem, Gilgamesh, was written in cuneiform. The first alphabet assigned Semitic characters to Egyptian hieroglyphs about 2000 BCE. It was adopted by the Greeks about 800 BCE and later modified for the Roman Latin alphabet. The Chinese built the first blast furnaces (using piston-bellows driven by waterwheels) and cast iron farm tools and weapons were common by 500 BCE. Austronesians sailed outrigger canoes over 6,000 kilometers from Taiwan to reach New Zealand from about 3000 BCE. About 100 BCE the Malays of Indonesia traded between China, India and Africa in sailing ships carrying 1000 people and a 260 ton cargo. The Greek navigator, Pytheas, sailed to the north Atlantic about 325 BCE where he recorded polar ice, the Midnight Sun and lunar tides. The Roman Prefect of Egypt (26-24 BCE), Aelius Gallus, noted 120 trading ships leaving Myos Hormos for India. WHO THE HELL ARE WE? is a series of short books and videos describing the evolution of civilization. Almost everyone on the planet is five times wealthier than their ancestors only 50 years ago. This astonishing phenomenon has also improved health, education, and longevity. The cause; an explosive growth in ideas and productivity. It began when we learned to control fire, evolved articulate speech and stumbled onto the way to create infinite wealth; free trade. The discovery of agriculture made us richer but we also learned how to destroy wealth. Great civilization grew up but then disappeared leaving only incredible ruins and ideas. Later books detail some of the ideas and developments that increased the average life span from about 40 years to more than 80 and the average world income from less than $3 to more than $33 per person per day (and to $140 per day in some countries).

Middle Era by duncmacphun

Jesus and Muhammad adopted the Hebrew's belief in one God and Christianity and Islam spread throughout the world. The Chinese were using gunpowder in the 9th century and, by the 13th , cannon dominated the battlefields. Paper money appeared in China from 1216, as many financial transactions were too large for heavy bronze coins. The Anglo-Saxons built light, fast ships to stop the Vikings raiding Britain and, in 1546, Henry VIII established the "Navy Royal" which Elizabeth I used to defeat the Spanish armada. Before 1764 a worker needed 50,000 hours to spin 100 lb of cotton thread on a hand-powered wheel but only 300 hours with a spinning machine. Between 1770 and 1773, James Cook crossed the Antarctic Circle and mapped the coasts of New Zealand, Australia and the west coast of north America. By 100 BCE, Chinese were weaving complex silk brocade cloth. In 1804, J. M. Jacquard reinvented the Chinese loom, using a chain of cards to control which threads of weft or warp appeared on the cloth. This was the beginning of computers.
