The World is dying...
The planet is being consumed by the people it was made for.
When the resources finally run out, will Governments be able to maintain control?
When the population is fighting for survival, will the police hold authority?
When it's every man for himself, will the law be upheld?
It wasn't... by the year 2027 democracy was just a three-syllable word that held no more power than freedom. The World was run by those who were willing to get their hands dirty, the people who did everything and anything to survive.
The globe was shrouded in the shadow of man and all his greed, the greens and blues so prevalent tarnished by a host more interested in profit than protecting or prolonging the planet.
When desperation takes over, what will be left of our humanity?
Nothing...
The race would've extinguished itself, killed itself off for the last scraps of a world they stomped out.
A human-sized footprint, the only reminder of our toxic presence.
We would've been nothing more than a memory if not for the Unit. The Unit saved us. The Unit saved the World.
But, was that its true purpose?
And, is it really evil or simply a fail-safe to stop us from making the simplest human mistake...

Morphling
"Why are you following me?" She asks annoyed. "I have not been following you." I find myself responding. The girl states, "Yes you have. Don't lie and answer my question." "Okay, fine. You remind me of someone and I was wondering if you could help me." The girl studies me for a moment. I wonder what she will say. This girl seems very annoyed and threatening. "What do you want from me?" I reply, "I am looking for some people so I can bring them back to our village." This is not a lie. "What village are you from?" She questions. "Just a village." Then the girl turns on me and somehow pins me on to the ground. She says, "You're one of them aren't you. You know nothing about this kingdom. What are you a morphling or a fusion?" I am shocked. How did this girl figure me out? Was it that obvious?Complete
Dimensions and The Mysterious Asteroid
In a universe shaped by an ancient cosmic artifact-the celestial asteroid containing primordial energy from the Big Bang-the fabric of time and space fractures as the past, present, and future collide. This asteroid reawakens ancient powers and secrets long buried beneath the sands of history, intertwining the Prehistoric Age, the Dark Ages, the Magic Era, the Age of Alchemy, ancient civilizations, and the Technology Era. The disruption can be traced back to the New Year of Year 3000, a crucial moment when groundbreaking discoveries emerge alongside new technologies that include ancient books harboring magical properties, dimensional travel between Mars and Earth, the first official launch of virtual reality that can transfer your soul and body to a digital world and advanced time manipulation techniques that has been launch in the year 3000. This year will be the new era of the humankind, because of new discoveries defy the law of physics. It defies science and scientist can't stop this phenomenon in the past present and future. The archeologist discovers real magic artifacts, ancient books that can't debunked because the spells was activated. And some gemstones have magical properties that can fuel an entire city. The year 3000 heralded the eco-friendly era, yet it came with a dire consequence: the melting of vast portions of the Arctic and Antarctic, leading to significant global sea level changes. Despite this, the world's achievements in this period are remarkably impressive. "Disclaimer: AI assisted in writing this story.

And the evolution of our planet earth kept on evolving.....but...have you ever wondered? When you where a kid you always thought that there's superheroes in our world that can fly and shoot lasers out of they're eyes. But that's just a fictional. Heck monsters and Giants are nothing but folklore and story's, They're just made up. There is no such thing as a zombie, ghost or even flowers that can talk or trolls walking around in the dark woods. Or even mythical creatures such as griffins, unicorns, mermaids, dragons ect. They aren't real, they are just stories and fantasy and nothing else....they are nothing else but a myth. But....What if.. What if...it wasn't? But instead it came from another world. And that world is what you have dreamed off, and not just one... millions of different world's and different possibility, a cartoonish world to dragon's and wizards. Or just straight up similar to our planet but without the letter H. These are called.... Dimensions. A similar world that has different characteristics of it's very own version, The possibility are endless, anything you imagine can be exist in another world. *ATTENTION* all pictures, gifs, vids and games "reference" ect belongs to their respective owners and authors. I repeat I do not own them, I do not make them. They belong to their original and respective owners and author's themselves. *ANOTHER ATTENTION* This is my first time making an original story...so....I'm sorry if it's shit. April 25/22Complete
The Marionetteʼs Puppeteer (Volume 1)
I don't know if I died or not, but the moment I regained my consciousness, I was already standing on a field full of grass and surrounded by trees. "W-what is that...?" A screen was floating in front of me. 「 Welcome, new adventurer! 」 "Adventur...rer?" But..... I'm so small! My body is the size of a 9 year old kid! And I don't even know what the hell happened to me. After I read some information on the screen, I was amazed that the world I was in was like a VRMMORPG. Magic exists and so does the level. "Huh?" When I look at my status, I'm not neither a mage that cast magic nor a swordsman that wields a sword, instead.... I'm a puppeteer! Will I survive in this new world despite knowing that I don't have a place to stay or food to eat? Note: This is more likely in Fantasy. Magic goes bruh broom brr. Also, there is some terms in this stories that is hard to understand like skills, ultimate skill, so read the prologue for that one. Anyways give me a vote y'all Started Serializing on October 9, 2022 and finished: December 28, 2022 [Volume 1]Complete
Luna's Awakening
Well, just when I thought my life couldn't get any crazier, guess what? It got crazier. Last time we met, I was trying to save myself and this guy from this malicious spirit who wouldn't leave him alone and was trying to kill him. I thought that was bad and stress inducing. Unfortunately, I had no idea what else I was in for. Compared to what I'm about to face next, that was a walk in the park. Now, my powers are growing stronger and stronger, and I'm becoming a full fledged sorceress. I am seeing more spirits, the "dark entity" I'm constantly being warned about coming, and I'm trying to brace myself for whatever this entity is. I'm also learning more about the "supernatural world," where apparently, it's where all the ghouls exist and thrive in. And guess what else? I'm going to have to go to school with them. Fantastic. There's a part of me excited, though the larger part is scared to death. So, if you want to come with me on this crazy journey that is my life, get ready, because it's going to get even more weirder by the minute. ***Note: The story will intertwine some with my previous series, The Moonblood Clan series, so it would be best to read that first before reading this one, because some stuff may be confusing.Complete
Blood and Thunder
You've just woken in the woods, away from everything you know. You're dazed and confused, unable to comprehend what's just happened. As you are coming to, images flash before your eyes of the last few days. Your parents were taken by the police, you were forced to run, to leave everything behind, to save yourself and your sister.

No robots in houses, but workhouses instead. Telekinetic pencils... that's possible, if you are gifted with the power of telekinesis. There are dark truths hidden behind closed doors, that only few know. Truths that if they got out, would bring the downfall of the government.

Part 1; Whiteout
Authors' Note: These are the tales of heroes of our future; people trying to solve the problems that we are creating today. We are depleting the world's resources, putting our waste wherever we can craft a political story to justify it. We throw people out on the streets because they weren't given the right circumstances to learn how to survive in this systematic wasteland that we are building. We are all working towards an artificial, manufactured version of a goal we call success and don't care to think of its effects. These issues are happening now, not twenty years from now, and the way we deal with these issues will affect our immediate future. As said by Lao Tzu, "Those who know do not speak. Those who speak do not know." Our society is so dysfunctional that some people have lost their will to eat, sleep, and in extreme cases, live. This special few have been driven into depression because they know not which way to go. They panic and are driven into seclusion because they know something is wrong but they don't know how to solve it. We "try" to work against these horrible things, like "climate change" and waste, by villainizing them. We "try" to fix the problems using "public campaigning," but we are the source of these problems, and we keep making excuses and blaming others for our own terrible mistakes. We need to change, not the problems. The true villain is ourselves. Those who consider themselves "pro-environmental" still travel the world in fossil-fueled planes eating meat and dairy out of plastic containers. We need to channel our tax dollars into creating more alternatives so people are not coerced into using harmful chemicals and tools by the inevitable need to rush through life. And the reason we tell ourselves we do these things is that they help us get stuff done faster, so we have more time. But time is running out. -The Hidden JEMSComplete
Our Conscious Fields; What is living?
Slow paced narrative set in a world awakened to panpsychism and innate abilities following the fall and rise of society. A gentle approach to world building with a bit of humor, romanticism, and just enough hints of drama without going into it. When everyone writes about how it could all go wrong or what happens after it does; who wants to read about what happens if it just goes right for once? Still conflict and drama but, the hard work is already done. Now you just get to see a glimpse of what happens in a reality where it all works out. Work in progress - Inspired by Ready Players?; One Chaotic Answer This will be a slower update than Ready Players? but hopefully be more full in edits and depth. Comments and suggestions considered, otherwise please enjoy as this book and story unfolds. Thank you
