Now Dahria's existence is about to be discovered, exposed, and exploited by nefarious Earthside interests. All looks hopeless except for Connie, an awkward young woman on Earthside, who stumbles upon the ominous plot. With the help of Peter, her reclusive 50 + year-old neighbor, Connie finds the courage to literally crawl into a new reality on a world-saving mission. In the most amazing journey of their lives, Connie and Peter fight to understand and navigate the Dahrian world and attempt to halt the steamroller of Earthside greed and destruction that's heading its way.

Book 2 of the Wakeful Wanderer's series. Book 1 is The Wakeful Wanderer's Guide to New New England & Beyond. That's a good place to start. It's available here. The America of our near-future is divided across socio-economic and technological-philosophical lines. The Traditionalists eschew any and all post-human technologies in favor of tangible materials. They uphold strict hierarchical structures based on religion, family, and leadership. They long for the return of the global markets wiped out by a world-shaking disaster called The Great Tide. The Interconnected stand in stark opposition to their ways, living without property, family, or religion, and modifying their bodies with the help of new and invasive technologies. They speak to each other wordlessly, employing a technological telepathy they call 'thexting' to communicate mind to mind, and embrace the gifting economy of Merit to maintain their post-scarcity lifestyles. Marto, the traveling Interconnected historian, has exiled himself to protect the ones he loves from his dark secret. In his absence, Helen, a runaway Traditionalist aristocrat, struggles to find her place among the Interconnected, unwilling to return to her cruel family.

Terra's Primal War's [Arknights x OC's]
The world of Terra has long endured its suffering-wars unending, nations fractured, and the slow, merciless advance of Oripathy. For centuries, mankind has struggled merely to survive, clutching to what little stability remained amidst calamity. Yet, in the waning years, the Ursus Empire sought to transcend limitation. A council of scientists unveiled an experimental machine-the Particle Accelerator. Its purpose was veiled in equal parts ambition and desperation: to harness a boundless new source of energy, or perhaps to forge a weapon that could alter the balance of power across Terra. But their gamble tore a wound in the very fabric of reality. Through the rift they opened, another world was revealed-strange, vast, and untamed. At first, awe overcame fear. Explorers dreamed of conquest, of knowledge, of advancement beyond measure. Then came the shadows. Not men, nor beasts familiar to our lands, but creatures innumerable. From the abyss poured teeth and talons without end, a tide of hunger and violence. The scholars of Ursus were the first to witness it, and the first to perish. Thus marks the most recent tragedy in Terra's already blood-soaked history. The portal remains a scar upon our world... and a reminder that some doors, once opened, should never be touched again.
Terra's God incarnate (Arknights x Male OC)
In the darkest trenches of Iberia's ocean, where light has never touched, something ancient stirs. Born as nothing more than a fragile aquatic creature, it should have perished against the endless storms and the poison of Originium. But Terra is a world of change, and change demands survival. Bombarded by Catastrophes, consumed by Originium, and reshaped by forces beyond comprehension, the creature begins to evolve. Each transformation tears its body apart, only to rebuild it stronger, faster, more terrifying than before. From the sea to the land, from crawling beast to towering colossus, it adapts - it endures. Until at last, it emerges. No longer a mindless animal, but an apex beyond nature. A titan that walks the land, a living engine of destruction, crowned with the name: Ultima. To some, it is Terra's final disaster - the harbinger of extinction. To others, it is the only force powerful enough to stand against the horrors yet to come. Hope or doom, savior or executioner - its roar will decide the fate of the world.

To Hear the Shape of The World
To the ends of Terra, will she ever stop walking? Stillness is a lie told by those who trust only their eyes. They see a quiet room and believe it empty. They see a calm face and believe them peaceful. But the world is never still. It breathes. It hums with the footsteps of a thousand lives, the shudder of distant machinery, the frantic, rhythmic drumming of a frightened heart. Once, she was the keenest eye in a Sargon scout clan, a Liberi who lived by the sharpness of her gaze. Now, Oripathy has left her in a world of featureless grey, and the only sight left to her is an Arts she once despised: a seismic sense that maps a world she can no longer see. The echoes of her own footsteps are her only map; the vibrations in the air, her only warning. Cloaked in the tattered remnants of a life that once saw it all, she is a wanderer, her path guided by the whispers of the earth itself. (NOTE: This story is completely unrelated to the main storyline of Arknights, there may be some inconsistencies in certain plot points/chapters of the story since this is my first time "professionally" writing my hyperfixiations for a game with such complex and in-depth worldbuilding. And that I'm also horrible at this LOL)![Shattered Reality of Two Worlds [Arknights Fanfic]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/397106032-256-k443682.jpg)

Promise of the World [Canaan, Book 1]
Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after twenty years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters both demons and spirits in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who just reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is an abnormal human with elemental powers, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world of magic, danger, mystery, and intrigue. But this not a game. That simple adventure is actually the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tear even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought she was. And not even the gods can change the destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity's existence. - Fantasy || Adventure || Romance || Action || Mystery || Drama || Science Fiction - Expectations for this Story: Immersive adventuring experience inside an intricate, magical world. Vivid imagery and deep characterization. Quirky magic system with mysterious elements and history.
