Anodyne is a well known meddler back on Olympus.  Infamous for his yellow rain slick, his clever troublemaking along with his partner in crime, the anxious Wizard Divinocus. Traveling by Kite, who does not get along with the old Zard but puts up with him for Anodyne's sake, the trio attempt to gain entry into the Forbidden Iteration, sailing from island to island floating around in the ocean of time and space. 

But the gods have called upon him for a job. Accept it or be punished for all his 'meddling crimes'. For you see Anodyne's older brother, The Golden Boy Halcyon, had been previously tasked with tending to this Forbidden Iteration, but has since gone missing. 

Too good to be true?  After all, Rebecca, Anodyne's girlfriend, just so happens to be trapped within it's ivy covered red brick walls, the same which Anodyne and Divinocus have tried again and again to break into, and the gods are just going to let them in?

Things become even more dire, when Anodyne learns of a strange red smoke spreading throughout the island, whose walls extend without end, is threatening to change everything it touches, and he already lost Rebecca once before.

One last question: How much 'energy' would it take for humanity to invent 'real' gods? And what would those gods be like?

*Completed* Ranked #1 in alienplanet in Jan 20 2020 Please, LISTEN TO ME!! I know you think I'm crazy and I know they told you I'm dangerous, but you have to just listen!! My people are dying! They are being killed, ruthlessly slaughtered by the millions!! I know exactly who is doing it too-but it doesn't make any sense. I don't understand why they are doing it. Please help me, help us!! To whoever gets this message, I can't do anything from here-please! I am begging you!! Please-just get me off this damn planet!! [END TRANSMISSION] ------------------- Earth is not alone in harboring life. The galaxies and universes have been opened, and all the intelligent beings residing in them have been connected and unified with each other. It has been over a million years since the Pentaverse, a cluster of five neighboring universes, was organized and unified. Now, hundreds of otherworldly species live in relative harmony with the one another. The unification was good for many species, but for some species, the change caused unexpected extinction. As a team of the Conservation of Species Committee investigates a mysterious decrease in the population of a robotic species, they stumble upon something that could potentially result in the destruction of the entire Pentaverse. This is not your average Wattpad story about how the 'bad boy meets the good girl'. This book is about a series of mysteries that begin to unfold as you read and travel through space with a group of unsuspecting aliens. This story will make you laugh, it will shock you, surprise you, and it will leave you hungry for more-all the way to the last word. Be aware, there are some adult themes in this book including drinking, swearing, love making, death, and murder. None of those topics are explored too deeply however, so I do not think it is appropriate to give this book a 'mature' rating. *********** @2020wattyawards

A man in his late 30s, working in a multinational company, had just released several classified documents that resulted in him losing his job but also brought the company down as well. Being a highly regarded person, Hart was the lead economist and trade master for the company, but he found out his work had destroyed the lives of many after the corporation decided to go behind his back and alter several deals, causing a number of third-world countries to face terrible repression. His decision would place a bullet in the head but also spark a new journey, one filled with magic and fantasy in a different world. Greeted by a messenger of god, Hart was given one chance to redeem himself for his past mistakes. Rebirth, the end goal of many living beings, yet unknown by all who seek it. The messenger offers him a place in Baetyl, a world of gods, where both fantasy and reality clash together here. The gods have clashed with one another, creating chaos and disorder at every edge of the holy planet. Hart is to help bring balance to the declining world, somehow. Given an opportunity to bring ONE thing with him from his old world, and after serious consideration, he decided to take a video game. Not an ordinary video game, a country-building game, essentially setting life to an entire nation whose technological level exceeds the land around it. How will Hart face the world ahead while achieving his original task? (Main themes: - Magic - Fantasy Creatures - Modern tech vs Medieval tech - Gods/Goddesses)

Long ago, there was a legend about a powerful cultivator from the Fallen Rainbow Kingdom. The cultivator raised seven disciples whose mere name alone was capable of shaking all realms. However, many experts who researched hundreds of thousands of years of history suspected the story to be a fabrication as no evidence of the person or his legacy was found. "Nonsense! How dare they say master story is just a legend!!!" "There's no way I'm going to accept what they're saying! If it wasn't for the fact that this planet is where the sect and master used to live, I would have destroyed them!" There was a shout in a simple food stall from a girl with no satisfaction. But strangely the scream did not disturb the other guests, as if the scream had not been heard by them. "S-students calm down, it's been too long anyway. With the short lifespan of humans, they must have just assumed it was a legend. Master is not offended." Replied a young girl who was sitting with the screaming girl. "No master! I can't just take their word for it! They have to know the true story master!"The girl continued in an angry tone and continued her endless rant. _______ Well, this story is about an ordinary man who became a woman (lost his balls) when he was transferred to the world of Xianxia. Because of his stupidity, he tricked people into becoming his apprentice just to make his life easier, but regretted it because he was afraid of being found out about his lie (because he was an ordinary man? who pretended to be a cultivator). Occasional weird wording and grammar, English isn't my first language. The book cover is from AI.

The aliens came here for one thing, and one thing only.... Females. ( This story is only available through inkitt or galatea!!!) (some read events may apply) (check update chapter for more details!) Humans believed they were the only intelligent life to exist... that it was impossible for another species to evolve in a way where they could prevail in something as great as space travel. humans believed they were supposed to be the most technologically advanced species and the alpha predators... They were wrong. The Xandisians evolved in ways humans never could have imagined, they are natural-born killers with phenomenal strength and agility. Their kind never went through the same devolution as humans, they never lost their natural instincts to hunt, kill, or breed. With their limitless potential and monstrous strength, they faced few threats and could survive almost any threat that befall their species, almost. After an incurable sickness washes over the planet of xanadis, the majority of the female, young and elderly, and vulnerable population is all but wiped out, leaving a small portion of the male population to face the threat of extinction. With no choice but to look to the stars for a means to save their kind from complete annihilation, the xandisians set out to find a race compatible with their own. after many years and countless failed expeditions, they finally find a species that matches their base DNA on a planet called Earth. The only issue now is how humans will react. (Book 2 LTF series) (CAN be read as a stand alone, but not recommended for nostalgia reasons~) (ps this is UNEDITED, grammar and spelling mistakes will ensue!) (NOTE: THIS IS ITS OWN STORY NOT A CONTINUATION. SAME CHARACTERS BUT DIFFERENT PLOT.)(Last to fall au/spin-off)

The Prime Races escaped Midgard just before a global cataclysm at the height of their Age of Science, Sorcery, and Pagan Religion. of their pagan religious culture. Within there side-slip dimension called the Green Realm, Verdant Realm, or the Garden. They grew side-by-side with mankind on Midgard until present day. 5000 years later their culture is steeped in pagan traditions that have led to prostitution being sanctioned and promoted by various churches, and very open and even incestuous life-styles. The ratio of monogamous to polygomist relationships is about 50/50. Harems and reverse harems are equally commonplace. Given the very limited animal resorces they brought with them they used science and magic to splice every animal species with Alari, Dvergr, or Giant DNA creating hybrids named the Animals, Insects, and various marine life. Later they spliced certain tree's DNA into Alfari thereby creating the Arboreals. Even in a fantasy there is oppression, racism, religious anamosity, political corruption, and corporate greed. In the Garden Realm the fantastic is everywhere, and sometimes it's hard to live but brutally easy to die. (Warning: This is an adult fantasy with graphic adult themes and scenes. Graphic nudity, sex, violence, and language.)
