All organisms go through stages of life, from survival of the fittest, to wars wiping out large amount of populations. The Game of Life as I like to call it. Nevertheless, something has to maintain the peace of Earth, or in this context, warriors. My grandmother, as I grew up, told me stories of the Praepositus tribe, where she grew and prospered from.
One day, as the tale went, Ignis the warrior of fire, gave my grandmother the Adstrum stone. Just my age, were the only two warriors given the task of keeping the stone from a rogue warrior, Nequissimus. Nequissimus, the warrior of the constellations rebelled against the Praepositus. Each warrior possess' their own stones, for each element they possess. Nequissimus, wanted the eternal authority over all the stones. Grandmother never finished the tale, as she would doze off during the oral folktale recital. Although, I learned, The Game of Life never stops for you.

Mountains and Seas: Providence
Excerpt from the "Classic of All Nations: Begonia Chronicles - Astronomy" Year 5303 of the Yellow Emperor's Calendar, corresponding to 2596 AD. In the twelfth lunar month, on the day of Spring Beginning, within an unnamed mountain stream at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, spiritual energy re-emerged. Wisp by wisp, it drifted forth, ethereal and transcendent. The spiritual stream flowed, blessing the land. Later generations would name this: The Origin of Destiny. Was it a single stone that shook heaven and earth? Or was it a seed that chose to break through the dust of history... Is the history of human society merely the history of humans themselves? The Land of Begonia, the Nation of Tsunamis, the Tower of Ocean Currents, the Confederation of Cities-four great powers, with undercurrents surging beneath the surface. And beyond these great powers, various factions lie dormant, their intentions unclear. Gu Li, bearing the secret of the Nuwa Stone, is abducted to a mysterious church and reduced to an power test subject. What secrets will she uncover? In the "Land of Begonia," five great families answer the call of destiny, protecting this realm by the mandate of heaven. When the monsters from the laboratory break their chains, when development transcends ethics, when order and morality cease to exist... where will humanity turn?
Soul Stone
Life is strange and normally short, but for a select few life is as close to eternal as they could of hoped. How could this be? A deal with a goddess and a few mysterious stones is how. Two people make a deal with a goddess for eternal life. In exchange for the life expanding stones they had to provide entertainment for her for all eternity. How could they do that?

The game was interrupted. A stone stolen, soul trapped within it, the body being used by a new spirit. That's how Kirara came into existence. She enjoyed having an average life, having a family; even though some members are beyond annoying. But nothing stops forever. The stone is returned to the body, her normal life gone, replaced with an obsessed madman, an unsuccessful team, and a love just out of her reach.Complete

Knowledge is love
Growing up, I always heard people telling my dad why is he teaching me about survival. What's the point? Those skills won't be useful in this modern day of age. Why would you need to know how to use weapons like a Bow or tell the difference between some planets or fruits? But my old man never listened and good thing he didn't. My mom on the other hand taught me basic life skills I need in my day to day life like sewing and cooking. My mom was definitely more of an indoor, creative person so it's a mystery how she ended up with an outdoorsy, adventure man like my dad. But hey they say opposites attract and they are definitely proof of that. But I was never one for love. It can get complicated and it doesn't seem like something I would need during high school of all times. High school is already complicated without the need of getting romance involved. But who knows, maybe that's entirely true and I might change my mind or maybe not. Only time will tell.
The Magnetic Paradox (Senku x fem reader)
"They are like two opposing poles, destined to repel each other... yet irresistibly drawn together." Two brilliant minds. Two sworn rivals. A deep-seated hatred masking a tension neither of them dares to acknowledge. Y/n L/N, a prodigy in every sense of the word, has one goal: to become a top-tier surgeon. Senku Ishigami, a genius in science, dreams of conquering space. Both are the best in their respective fields, locked in a fierce rivalry that has lasted for as long as they can remember. But when a school project forces them to collaborate on a scientific study of human emotions and attachment, everything shifts. Proximity, contact, constant observation... All factors that push them to confront a truth they refuse to accept. Because if science proves that opposite poles attract, how could they possibly be the exception? In a battle of wits, sharp retorts, and unexpected discoveries, they must face a paradox no formula can solve: between hatred and fascination, where does rivalry end... and attraction begin? Dr. Stone does not belong to me! Only the story and certain characters are my own creation! This fiction will start before the petrification but it'll follow the anime afterwards :) ★†★ Tuesday, April 22, 2025 #16 in science #3 in enemies to lovers #7 in Senku #15 in drstone Friday, April 25, 2025 #1 IN ENEMIES TO LOVERS 💖✨

Worlds
Worlds. It's something that no one questions, where they're from, that is. They all think that they are all from earth, but Kila knows better. In her dreams Kila sees other worlds and people living their lives. Lives that she, herself could be living; last night she dreamt of a world not far away. On the world of Enthrum, in the kingdom of Sathreph; war is waging over the metal stones; that fit in the palm of your hand, they have symbols on them that represent different spirits, gods, and guardians. If the stone allows you to know its name and it is spoken aloud, then you are able to summon it as a friend. The stones can see deep into your heart and understand what you are thinking; they can tell darkness from light and will only obey you if they take a liking to you. Many people of this world are going to war over the stones and are using them to fight. If the fighting does not stop the world will come to an end, along with it a chain of events that will affect other worlds causing mass destruction.Complete
