David Hurt's - After the Singe Cometh New Life
A burnt out world,
seemingly lifeless,
bursts into glorious colour.
Every dormant soul,
awaits to give the gift,
the gift of the precious borne.
Life anew...
Thank you and I hope you enjoy the rest...

[#10 IN REALISTIC - 10/07/2019] [COMPLETED] The year was 2118. All seemed normal; normal, until you saw the dust kiss the sky; a mix of brown and white against an infinite blue. Our planet had changed quite a bit in the past 50-60 years. Most financially extractable petroleum had been drained clean by 2048, and like insects to the light, coal soon followed. I mean, it was never meant to be a problem; most estimates said we'd find viable alternatives by then. But we were so preoccupied with getting the last barrel of oil out, we never stopped to ask what we'd do after it was out. And now, we had to look up and wonder if our place was among the stars, or on the burning dust. --- Sci-Fi Adventure inspired heavily by Christopher Nolan's Interstellar. Cover by Samadrita Mukhopadhyay (IG: @blackmambaaaaa_). With the help and support of Dwijith R Nambiar (IG: @dwijithr.n). Checked by Ranjan Bhat (IG: @the_real_ranjan_bhat) for scientific consistency.Complete

Monarchs of Ruination
How far would you go to save your family? Would you take a life for them? A hundred? A thousand? How many before your conscience finally screams, "Enough"? They answered this question with [Ruination]-an unprecedented catastrophe that wiped out countless universes, all for the faintest chance to reclaim what was lost. No hesitation. No regret. Perhaps the Heavens sought to reward them for their love-or punish them for the slaughter of untold worlds. Either way, they were granted a second chance-to return to the past and reshape their fate. In a world where every lifeform's destiny is predetermined by the Heavens, NOX and Lucas uncover a chilling truth: the purpose of life is not merely to exist, but to pursue [Transcendence]. One is destined to achieve [Transcendence], while the other-whether willing or unwilling-must assist another in achieving it. Follow NOX and Lucas, as one is fated to transcend, while the other is doomed to be forgotten by history. Can they break free from their predetermined paths? Or will they scream, "I will defy the Heavens!" like a protagonist in a Dragon Country novel? Can the Heavens tolerate such blasphemy?

It's only a few days travel by boat from their home in Sydney, Australia, and the scenery is beautiful. But when natural forces turn against them, who will survive and who will perish? What will happen to those left alone? One thing is for sure: no one on board will ever be the same again...Complete
