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...

Middle Era by duncmacphun
13 parts Complete
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).
Shadows of Elysium: The Laughing King by DalisJamesBunch
33 parts Complete Mature
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.
Griidlords: Bloodsword Saga Book 1: A Throne for a Blood Prince by TomWrath

The world started anew 802 years ago. After unknown centuries of barbarism following The Fall of the old civilization, the first Towers rose from the ground in the ruins of ancient cities like Chicago and Phoenix. With the rise of the Towers came a measure of control over the Entropy that covered the lands. Where, before, this chaotic energy prevented any technology more complicated than a bow and arrow from functioning, suddenly the Order Fields of the Towers allowed cities to banish Entropy to varying degrees; allowing steam engines and muskets, or with higher Order, even assault rifles and electricity to be returned to the hands of humanity. With the rise of the Towers came something more than control of Order and Entropy. With the rise of the Towers came THE GRIIDLORDS. Each city was granted 5 Griidsuits, making superheroes of their wearers, individuals with remarkable powers, each the match of a 1000 fighting men. Tiberius has been pushed to compete for the Sword of Boston by his father. His father has amassed a great fortune as a merchant, he could buy and sell the castles and lands of the lords of the city, but there is one thing his money can't buy: nobility. Tiberius has been trained and honed to compete for the Griidsuit. Winning the suit comes with the founding of a new noble house that would satisfy his father's grandest ambitions. Tiberius must compete against the sons and daughters of noble houses. These youths that have been trained by the finest tutors. These youths come from lines of Griidlords themselves, they see the suit as their birthright. These youths come from a class that disdains the very notion of a commoner competing for the suit, no matter his wealth. Tiberius must navigate his own doubts, his own inadequacy, and see if he can grow enough in the precious days of the Choosing to become worthy of becoming The Sword of Boston.

"What is this?" asked Emma as she held the bars. Ray answered: "It's a gate. It connects the inside and outside." "Outside, huh? We've never been outside." "That's because we've been here ever since we were born." said Norman. Ray looked into the empty path that was behind those bars. Next to him was a girl that was smaller than the three of them, yet only slightly younger. She was clearly scared, but tried to hide it. She didn't want to be the one to be afraid. Emma said: "Mama always tells us, doesn't she? 'Don't go near the gate or fence in the back of the forest because it's dangerous.'" "That's obviously a lie." said Ray, making the girl next to him look up at him. "R-Really?" she asked, taking a step to hide behind him. She got no answer, which she already knew she wouldn't get. "Hey, Ray! What do you want to do if you go outside?" asked Emma. He answered: "I don't know. What about you?" Without a missing beat, Emma said: "I want to ride a giraffe!" "Good luck." Norman, too, grabbed the bars, saying: "I wonder... I wonder what this gate is protecting us from." "Y-Yeah..." said the little girl, shaking slightly. ~~~~~~~~~~~ I chose the beginning of the Anime as a description. Pretty great idea, I know :) I'll be following the Anime for season one and the Manga for season two! Anyways, in case you didn't read any of my other stories. My first language isn't English, so prepare for any spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, etc. My writing improves as the story goes on! I really hope that I can make this story into something that you'll like, so just give it a try, I guess? If you don't like parts of my story, you can always tell me, but I can't guarantee any changes. !Do not copy / rewrite this or any other of my stories! The pictures I'm using aren't mine, unless I say so! !Credits to Kaiu Shirai and artists! Cover from: Me! But I used this picture for it: https://www.pinterest.de/pin/810788739147277225/?d=t&mt=login Hope you'll enjoy :)) \(^♡^)/

26 parts Ongoing

Y/N L/N was a normal 19 year old boy. He enjoyed all kinds of things, like anime, video games, and fantasy, including a bit of mythology. He was living a normal life, even if he didn't really like it. He dropped out of college, and was working at a fast food chain. But one fateful day... he died! What a shocker. No one expected that here, right? He then was reborn into the colorful but hostile world of Tensura! The powerful skills he'd gain from that reincarnation will guide him on a journey to become strong. After all he wasn't planning on being controlled and be forced to work a job he didn't want like in his previous life. But there was one skill in particular... One skill that changed the very essence of his being. One skill that simply called itself "The System". (Saybil is only there to represent the MC and has nothing to do with the actual story.
