The heroes of old rest on their laurels after their final battle against the Demon King, now forever cursed with everlasting youth and enforced pacifism. After centuries of peace, the world is at risk again, yet this time humanity's threat... is itself. As war, greed, and technology decimate the world, the heroes take on the mantle of their old villains to foster a new breed of hero - all without killing anybody.

 Hello everyone! New project here, first draft, and I hope to put out ~3000 words per week minimum. This will be a relatively short story, probably ending up somewhere around the 60k word range.

If you have any feedback for me (which is super helpful for the first draft), feel free to make comments or send hatemail! Yay!

This is not an Apocalypse by 01Honeybadger
33 parts Ongoing Mature
The world is changing, two years ago strange weather, various anomalies and strange creatures started appearing from nowhere all over the world. Some creatures were completely alien and others were familiar looking as if they'd stepped from myth and legend. What many of these creatures had in common however was their aggressive nature and predatory instinct. Things that go bump in the night, that shifting shadow in the dark alley way, the cracking branch right behind you. Nightmarish creatures now stalk the land. Monsters. That isn't the only change in a new world however, humans have also changed. Some unknown phenomenon has granted humanity access to incredible power. The very elements themselves can now be wielded by those willing to risk the dangers. Earth, wind, fire, water, suddenly magic has become possible in a modern world and there are many who are eager to develop and embrace their newfound power and help protect their fellow man from monsters. There are also many who are willing to make a profit from newfound opportunities this changing world provides. Unfortunately for our MC Jack, embracing newfound power and going out to valiantly battle monsters isn't quite as simple as most other people have it. He possesses the rare and not so sought after lightning element, considered the weakest element for certain reasons, pitied and looked down upon Jack is determined to become a successful monster hunter in a more and more dangerous world. A slow burn story with world building, dungeon delving, character progression, Litrpg elements and more. WARNING - The MC is not a Mary Sue, he is not super competent, or super powerful or super intelligent nor a paragon of virtue, just a normal guy in a not so normal situation and him growing to deal with it in his own way.
Gamleon's Tail    ~ Welcome to the worlds of :  Within ~ by Cicada3300
17 parts Ongoing Mature
I wrote this for EVERYONE. To appeal to anyone that reads ANY genre. It combines almost all of them. It's an introduction to the Worlds of Within universe. When you get to the action parts (which doesn't take long) you should be invested enough to want to unravel the mysteries and enjoy its intrigue... The flood is raging. A terrifying, heartless mountain of water, swallowing the world . The tunnel networks? Of course, that won't save them. The forests? Like leaves in a breeze. The lookout towers and trade hubs? Gone. Washed clean. Every home, every last trace of what once was. Gamleon is the first to see it ... and survive. His mind is near collapse, his heart broken. He runs. What would YOU do? What could anyone do? Some scrape by in a mythological setting of beasts and medieval men. Cruel, literally cold-blooded Gorgon hordes enforce an absolute rule slithering in the tunnels beneath the feet of every kingdom. There is an isolated, forgotten place. A cavern, magnificent and vast, older than civilization. A place where the weird and the unwanted might ride out this cataclysm if Gamleon can stay alive long enough to get them there.. In this special place, something incredible, cut off from the outside, lurks. Something... you won't be ready for or ever expect. Gamleon, our weary adventurer, is a paradox: terrifying to some perhaps, yet his heart and intent is helpful, with a quiet dignity bordering on noble, intimidating and innately intelligent. The only way back out is to navigate the Gorgon tunnels. Join him, won't you ? Share his inner thoughts . See and feel how they help us all learn how to persist and triumph in spite of a world where everything is stacked against us. ( sound familiar, it should.) Join him and be swept away as he encounters or invents never-before-seen innovations and outrageous challenges. Dignity meets hope. Self-respect shines beyond courage. Welcome my friend to the Worlds of Within.

Archmund Granavale was nine years old when he remembered his first life as a (former) "gifted kid". That world told him for years that he would grow up to do great things and change the world. Then he grew up, and none of that happened. In this new world, Omnio, he can't relive that. At first, he wants to use all of the useless knowledge and trivia - science fun facts, recipes, and self-help books - that a "gifted" kid absorbs to either revolutionize this pre-industrial fantasy world or achieve total freedom instead of being bound by the rules of the nobility. But that all changes once a Dungeon Storm opens a passage to the underworld in his home county, sparking an empire-wide gold rush for its magical gems. If he wants either a quiet life or a career at the forefront of industrialization, he has no choice but to navigate the complex social landscape of the military, the nobility, and the masters of magic. He'll take every advantage he can get - magic gems, independent wealth, connections and the status to make them - and the knowledge of a burned-out gifted kid. This time, he will change the world - or at very least the path of his life. A focus on discovering a world from the perspective of someone thrust into it -- scientifically, politically, magically. Updates 8-9 PM EST, 1500+ words, Monday-Friday.
