As a great danger that cannot be seen nor understood approaches earth, humanity struggles with a difficult decision, to take a leap of faith or face almost certain death.

Kaleb was doing his best sticking to his 9 to 6 job, even as the country went to hell and people started losing hope, even as they tore apart shopfronts and made walking the streets an adventure. And as hope eroded bit by bit, so did his options, until there was only one left.

As an old world perishes, a new world embraces what's left of humanity, but how welcoming can it really be? Especially when they're not its first settlers.

An Endless Journey Into Another World by CatWuwu
15 parts Ongoing Mature
Imagine being one of the humans transported to a colossal planet where monsters lurk around every corner, and you have no guide, weapons, or abilities to rely on. You might think it resembles some dark sandbox RPG games, but it doesn't work that way. In the aftermath of a prophecy foretelling Earth's destruction, billions of people vanished from around the globe, transported to a planet called Eldrasia, a world the same size as Jupiter. People were scattered all across its vast expanse. The questions surrounding what happened to Earth and why they were transported remain unanswered; no one knows the cause of this phenomenon, and its mysteries elude understanding. Here, the full potential of one's being is unlocked; magic and super strength are possible, but abilities aren't granted automatically. Individuals must work hard to achieve and discover their hidden talents and skills, seeking knowledge in dangerous areas to fully understand and unlock their potential to survive and rebuild humanity. In this new world, there are no guides to lead the way. Everyone must rely solely on their instincts and determination to navigate deadly environments, unknown territories, mysterious civilizations, and ancient ruins. Eldrasia is a world within a world, filled with treacherous dungeons that contain traps and monsters eager to prey on the unprepared. Unlike anything found in games, these dungeons offer no easy loot; they test the limits of strength and resolve. Towering structures rise with thousands of floors that anyone can challenge, offering unique abilities, rare equipment, and unknown materials. However, reaching the top floor is shrouded in mystery, with rumors suggesting that Demons and Gods of this world reside there. This world isn't designed to be easy; it's a nightmare where every decision could mean the difference between life and death. --- 09/15/2024 - Present

In the distant future of the year 10072, the Earth has long forgotten its human inhabitants. Now, the world is divided among four mighty elemental kingdoms: the Cloud Kingdom, the Forest Kingdom, the Ice Kingdom, and the Stone Kingdom. Their lands are shaped by their powers, their histories marked by ancient conflicts and forgotten lore. Amidst this fractured world, a lone figure stirs in a desolate desert once home to humanity. When Zans awakens, he has no memory of who he is or how he ended up in this unforgiving wasteland. His only clue to his past is a weathered journal he uncovers, marked with the cryptic words "Project Zans." Guided by the journal and driven by an elusive sense of purpose, Zans ventures into an oasis where he encounters the magical Forest Kingdom. Here, he meets curious sprites and an ancient, wise tree who hints at deeper secrets buried within the realm of elemental magic. With the guidance of Glacius, a knowledgeable iceman from the Ice Kingdom, Zans embarks on a perilous journey across the kingdoms, from the cloud-wrapped heights of Ethestal to the stony realm of giants. As Zans delves into the mysteries of his identity and the ancient conflict between humans and the elemental realms, he uncovers startling truths about his own role in this elemental world. With each step, he pieces together the fragmented history of a forgotten era and the powerful forces that shaped it. A spellbinding tale of discovery and destiny set in a richly imagined future where elemental magic and ancient legacies collide. Perfect for fans of epic fantasy, this story weaves together adventure, mystery, and the quest for self-discovery in a world where every element holds a key to unlocking the past.

43 parts Complete Mature

Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.
