Stonegate's fair city was built on the ruins of a town of one of the ancients. It was not called Stonegate, then, for in those days there was no need for stone walls or for gates. I've heard it said, though I can scarcely believe it, that in those days people walked to and fro unhindered. The old name had something to do with a Fort, though we can't figure out why, since there didn't seem to be a fort here but there was a building called "a university," a guild of learning of some sort.
Well, sadly that time is long gone, and Stonegate's walls have long kept decent people in and the riffraff out. People here have gotten comfortable, for we've long felt safe and secure. That is, until now...

Shadows of Elysium: The Laughing King
Once upon a time there was a world, much like our own. This world is gone. The machinations and wars of man saw to every manner of apocalypse. What was left is a world as nightmarish as it is fantastical. Gunslingers and swordsmen ply the same trade. Science, chemistry and magic are indistinguishable from one another. The monsters prey on all, but the true villains will always be human. Humans who have walled other humans in to the most violent part of The Husken Earth, The Wastelands. The Immortal Red Eyed Man sits atop this wall and uses his airships to drop experimental drugs into The Wasteland. Both mutants and parasites live under the shadow of the Abominations birthed. Monsters and men fear their brothers and sisters who fall prey to the allure of Elysium. It's hard to tell what is more addictive, the magical drug itself or the power it promises. {End Blurb} [Lore] Only one wall was ever built to protect the non-cannibalistic mutants of the Grey Coast and the inhabitants of Valoria from the true Wastelands; it has fallen. The remaining warriors built a great defense to fill the gap in the frontline wall. This outpost was overrun and the warriors that defended it became too few. They did the best they could and many died in the battles to keep the True Wastelands at bay. Survivers became little more than wanderers, sell swords and try hard defenders of the inhabited wastes. This is the tale of one such wanderer and his mission to unite the Wastelands against the abominations created from Elysium. This is the tale of The Wandering King and his sadistic counterpart.Complete

[Promise Me] Ray x Female Reader
"Hey guys... what is this?" the small orange haired girl named Emma said. Her small hands gripped on the cold bars. "A gate. It connects the inside and outside." The small black haired boy named Ray answered. "Outside? We've never been outside..." "That's because we haven't left here since being born." The small white haired boy named Norman said. "So is this what Mom always tells us about?" Emma smiled. "Never go near the Gate of Fence in the back of the forest cause it's dangerous.'" "Hmm...I don't see anything dangerous there." the small girl named (Y/N) said with her eyebrows furrowed. "She says that but it's not true." Ray says looking down. Norman looks at Ray. "It's not?" "Hey Ray! What would you do outside?" Emma happily asked. (Y/N) looked at Emma to Ray. "I don't know. You, Emma?" "I'd ride a giraffe!" "Good luck." Ray turned away, sarcastically. "And you, (Y/N)?" Emma asked (Y/N), happily. (Y/N) thought about it for a moment. "I want us four to be together and spend the rest of our lives outside!" Emma's smile stretched widely and giggled. "Yeah and that too!" "This gate..." Norman touched and grabbed the cold bar with his both hands in front of him. "You know...I wonder what is really keeping us protected from." ---------------------------------------------------- This my first fan fiction book of The Promise Neverland anime with female reader inserted.

Middle Era
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. 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).Complete
