Isitic is a desolate and barran land. Water is scarce, crops hard to grow, and freedom impossible to obtain.
But there is one hope - The Golden Gates, and beyond the golden barrier, The Other Lands.
Bountiful and plenty, it is every Isitican's dream to get to live in the government-funded paradise.
The only problem? You have to survive a month in The Arena.
The Arena is a mysterious death trap that the Isitican dictators over the years have put to their uses. Encased in a giant glass dome, The Arena is patroled day and night by vicious beasts, the environment changing every day.
Every ten years, eight 18-year olds are selected from a major city to go to The Arena, and see if they can survive.
If you survive - you and your family get to live with pleasure in The Other Lands.
If you fail - well, you're dead.
Join this decade's eight as they try to survive the trial that many before them have tried. But something's different this time, and it may turn out to be fatal......

A Castle Of Crystal
Nothing in my life had ever made sense. They told me it was normal, I'd grow into who I was supposed to be, that things would get better; here I am now, going through the motions and wondering if this was really what I was destined to do for the rest of my life. Turns out, it wasn't. Nothing in my life had ever made sense but that was because my memories were fractured, pieces of a person I used to be, one I used to know lurking in the shadows of my dreams. I was just a normal guy trying to navigate the world but saying yes to everything and falling into the same monotony just wasn't cutting it anymore. I had a steady job, a pretty girl seemed interested in me and my 22nd birthday was coming up just before Christmas to give me something to look forward to. That all changed when I remembered her. I'd never forgotten her truly, blue was the only thing I knew and that Neptunian shade was so striking it stuck with me from the night she screamed at me in the rain but it wasn't until I found all the papers, the notes and crystals that I started to remember the world she lived in. One that wasn't my own and that had so much more to offer. It sounded crazy but I knew it was real and getting there, finding her and fixing the bridge that I'd unwittingly burned was going to be hard but I was ready to be more than a desk jockey typing my life away. I wanted to see the orange skies instead of the blue and find her sitting in a field of crystals again, staring at the stars.Complete
刺され、最強の魔術師として蘇る。平和を望む。力は混沌をゆく。
"You're gonna get stabbed one of these days, seriously." I used to just laugh off my friends' warnings. Blessed with a silver tongue, I'd toyed with countless women since I was a child, and my college days were spent cycling through dozens of them. I was that kind of womanizing scumbag, and I genuinely believed there was no way I'd ever get stabbed in a law-abiding country like Japan. ...That is, until the night an ex-girlfriend I'd carelessly tossed aside stabbed me in the back. As my consciousness faded, I remembered my grandmother's words, "Everything you do comes back to you," and I died regretting my own foolishness.
The knights: Chronicles of the Six
A book still catching it's audience... Joining a mysterious after-school club wasn't exactly on anyone's to-do list. Especially not one that involves intergalactic travel, secret powers, and way too much violence🙄 Normal class day? Near-death sparring sessions, bringing robotic alien plants to life, and trying not to get mashed up before dinner. Every four months, the school hosts tournaments that are basically legal ways to commit violence - fun, right? Add in rivalries, betrayals, double spined - humans, and a universe-threatening psycho-god named Zenith who thinks he deserves all the power... Yeah, welcome to the Academy of Students with Extraordinary Abilities. AEA-Xylkor. And leading their "student armada"? Delia - whose mom can barely pay next month's rent. So... saving the galaxy might just be her best shot at skipping rent. Skateboarder, Rapper,Mathematician, all spices in the 6-ingredient broth. They're mostly tenth graders. They're confused. And apparently, they're the universe's last hope. A hidden force is rising, and it starts with one of them - harboring a power that could either save everything... or destroy it. Idk tho... So yeah. No pressure. Oh, and me? I just hope you enjoy it. Watch out though, because once you start reading, well... good luck stopping. 😏😂
The Forsaken Spire
A single, towering city rises from a vast, lifeless wasteland-a remnant of an ancient war that shattered the world. The Spire is surrounded by a powerful storm barrier, keeping the horrors outside at bay. It is said that beyond the storm, the land is overrun by Wraithborn-once-humans mutated into relentless, armored behemoths that feed on the energy of the living. The city's elite defenders, known as the Stormguard, wear specialized gauntlets that allow them to channel the energy of the storm itself, generating electrical blades and explosive force to combat the Wraithborn. Their training is brutal, as only those who can withstand the gauntlet's power without being consumed by it survive. When a young Stormguard recruit uncovers an ancient map hinting at a second, hidden city beyond the storm, everything they thought they knew about their world is thrown into question. Are they truly the last survivors? Or has the Spire's ruling council been keeping a terrible secret for generations?Complete
Rituals, Regrets, and Really Dumb People
You ever have a dream? Everyone has dreams. I mean a dream like wanting to be an astronaut or president or that such. I have a dream like that; I want to take over the world and cast humanity into an eternal darkness, with me as its cruel emperor. I've worked hard to achieve this dream too. I've practiced vile magics. I've honed my alchemy. I've amassed an army of demons, mutants, and cultists. Hell, I even worship a vile god to boot. Do you have that sort of dedication to your dreams? I do. And I'm so close to realizing it fully--well, I was close. I would have achieved it if it wasn't for that priestess and her damnable curse. Now I'm not even sure I'll make it to next week without my legions uprising or some other tyrant trying to usurp me. Oh, sweet Darkness. Please, someone, anyone, help me. **Warning**: Crude language and cartoon violence. **Updated every FridayComplete

So this is basically me retelling the NNBX storyline. So thank you Rosealina! Other pictures I found off of google so NO PICTURES ARE MINE! A little bit about me : I'm a small writer and youtuber. My channel is mainly gaming so I won't talk to much about it. But I hope you enjoy my story. If you do enjoy it, please share it. I've worked hard on this story and it's one of my favorites, I have more than I might put here, but I decided to do this first. I'm currently enrolled in high school and will graduate in 2023 for college I plan to major in science or literature. I first found my love for writing in middle school when a friend asked me to write a story about her and her crush. Ever since I've been writing none stop. Again, I hope you enjoy my writing and feel free to comment any feedback for me! Much love!Complete
Reign of Ashes
On a quiet night, a lone observer watches the sky as a meteoroid streaks past Earth - a cosmic event repeated every five years. But this time, something breaks free: a crimson stone, pulsing with an otherworldly power. When he touches it, the ground swallows him, and he awakens in a sacred hall of a realm he never knew existed. Cloaked in ceremonial robes and surrounded by summoned warriors, the hero is welcomed... and told he has been chosen. Chosen to fight, chosen to conquer, chosen to shape the destiny of kingdoms. From the ashes of Earth to the hallowed halls of another world, a single hero will face powers beyond imagination, loyalties he can't yet understand, and a war that could decide the fate of two worlds. The question is... will he survive the summoning, or become a pawn in a war written in the stars?
Her Sickness, His Cure B2 (ON HOLD)
"You...You look just like an angel...A dangerous one but still.....an Angel." She attempted to smile at me. Her breathing was forced and ragged. Her forehead was covered in beads of sweat. Whether she felt any pain or not, I felt a thousand knives pierce my heart. I gently caressed her cheek with the back of my hand. All my life I never had a problem getting whatever I want. I was the last child out of four siblings. My parents spoilt me with everything. In every way. They had no problem allowing me to have whatever my heart desired. I was never met with anything I couldn't have. Until her. Until this beautiful woman who was never going to be mine. I wish I could fight to have her. I wish I was faced with a normal challenge that most men do when they were in love. A normal challenge would occasionally be them trying to prove their love for their woman, or compete for her hand if there was another man after her. I would love to compete but how could I ever compete with something which is not a being of any sort? How was I ever going to compete or battle against something I could never touch or see? How could I beat it if it is the one she has chosen to go with? How could I ever take away the freedom of choice? How could I ever compete with Death?
