The survivors-the twenty percent who remained-were not spared as an act of mercy. They were the threads still holding the gods together, the last tenuous connections to their purpose. Without humans, the gods would begin to fade. Not immediately, but surely.
And worse still, humanity had left something behind. Their endless curiosity, their hunger for power, their refusal to submit-it had given form to something the gods couldn't control.
The voids where humanity had once thrived began to fill with Echoes-fragments of human will, unbound by flesh. The Echoes did not mourn or fear; they hungered. They fed on what remained of the gods' powers, growing more potent, more coherent, and more dangerous with every passing moment.
The gods now face an impossible truth: the very act of erasing humanity has set into motion their own undoing. To restore balance, they must find a way to stop the Echoes. But to do that, they must confront the last remnants of humanity-both the survivors and the terrible truths they left behind.
Humanity was flawed. Dangerous. Destructive. But the gods now realize that without them, the universe itself cannot survive. And the longer the gods hesitate, the more the Echoes grow, becoming not just a
reflection of humanity's defiance but something far worse.
Not a mirror. Not revenge. A replacement

Solemn Vigil
We've been around, for a very long time. We've watched innumerable scores of creatures die, watched empires crumble, great rulers wither away , and planets themselves collapse into barren wastelands devoid of life. But we've also seen races, brought back from the brink of extinction, kingdoms saved during their final hour, planets and entire star systems blossoming with life and prosperity, all because of our actions. Yet even so, too often have we been too late to save a planet, or a species, that we sometimes feel very small, very insignificant, when we think of the grandiose ideas many have of gods and their all encompassing power over the universe. Some have even gone so far as to call us a god, despite our failures, but we know better than to believe them. We are just as mortal as any other. But they persist in their beliefs, despite what we have told them, what we have shown them to be the truth. So for the time being, perhaps we are a god, at least in their eyes. They even gave us a name ; Providence. -------------------------------------------------------------- Join the ragged band of twelve survivors following the events of Risk of Rain as they face off against the game's enigmatic final boss - Providence.Terminé
The Silent One: Rapture and Redemption (Book 4/Unedited)
Seven years flew by as Kira watched everyone else from afar while training her angels for battle. Ceciellia and her coven continued to run a private magic school with the help of Alice and the others, expanding the diversity of their army and training recruits. Everyone played a role and had their pieces to contribute to the cause, teaching different types of classes to various creatures so that they could learn to use the gifts they were either born with or given later on. When Alice and Tate weren't teaching at the school, they were off doing what they did best: hunting demons that managed to slip through the cracks. Anna, Luna, Rain, and Claire continued their research to create more cures for different creatures while teaching and caring for the unique students of the school. Alex, Damon, and Caleb also taught classes and maintained security and safety for those who lived at the house containing a portal door leading to the magic school and the students living in its dorms. The special children, either born from Lucifer and Kira's bloodlines or those with ancestors who passed down pieces of Lucifer's shattered soul, had grown up, and after turning 18, they'd stopped aging physically. Just like their parents, they also continued to face obstacles of their own over the years, as with every passing year, their powers grew stronger as they trained how to use them. Though they were not the only ones. Lucifer was getting closer; they were getting closer. Kira could feel it, and so could Alice and Tara. It's almost like that strange feeling where a person feels as if someone is standing behind them, but when they turn around, no one is there. The intensity of those feelings crept closer and stronger with each passing year. It was only a matter of time before Hell's gates would open, and once more, Lucifer would come for Kira, as well as everyone and everything she loved, including Tara, Alice, and anyone standing in his way.
Rise of the ancient god: Reborn of chaos.
The God of Chaos was feared and worshiped in equal measure-a being of boundless destruction who stood alone against the apocalyptic invaders from another universe. But even gods fall. Betrayed and torn apart, he met his end in a war he could not win. Yet death was not the end. Reincarnated as Carson, a powerless boy in a world where humanity evolves beyond its limits, he is nothing but a fragile existence, mocked and discarded. No strength, no abilities-just a weak body destined to be crushed under the weight of a merciless world. Then came the spider. Venom burned through his veins, dragging him toward oblivion. As the last flicker of life began to fade, a voice-cold and divine-whispered into the void: [Ding!] [Congratulations. You have been chosen as the inheritor of the previous master's legacy.] [Will you accept? (Yes/No)] With that choice, the abyss awakened within him. The power of an ancient god stirs once more, but it is twisted, corrupted hungering for vengeance. The world that cast him aside will soon remember the name they tried to erase. And this time, chaos will reign. ----- (A/N: If you notice any errors, broken contents while reading please let me know, I'll go back and make the necessary corrections.)

Record of Ragnarok Pt. 2
A thousand years have passed since humanity's narrow victory in the first tournament of Ragnarok. Against all odds, humans proved themselves worthy, eking out survival in a brutal contest against the gods. But to the divine, time has softened neither their disdain nor their judgment. The gods still view humanity as an unruly and corrupt race-petty, greedy, and cruel. And so, the Council of the Gods convenes once more, this time with unanimous intent: to wipe out humanity once and for all. Just as Zeus raises his voice to seal humanity's fate, a lone voice cuts through the room-Göll, a young valkyrie and sister to the legendary Brunhilde, who once led humanity to victory. Echoing her sister's courage, Göll demands that humanity be granted a final chance to prove their worth, to show that there is something within them worth preserving. Reluctantly, the gods agree to her proposal, deciding to hold a second Tournament of Ragnarok, a brutal battle that will determine humanity's fate. In this new tournament, thirteen gods, each representing divine power, justice, and fury, will step forward. Humanity will send forth the Einherjar, warriors chosen from across time-heroes, inventors, warriors, and kings-each partnered with a valkyrie who will become their ultimate weapon, a Völundr forged to match their unique skills and spirit. To survive, humanity must secure victory in seven of these thirteen battles. As the dust of ancient grudges and forgotten legends rises, humanity's fate rests once more on the courage and strength of their chosen. Can they defy fate a second time? Or will they be crushed under the weight of divine wrath?
For You My Love, I'll Do Anything
"Are you certain that you know a person best?" The question, spoken in a voice chillingly cold, echoed through the assembled crowd of gods and humans, sending a wave of fear rippling through them. No one dared answer. Primordial beings rarely cared for the anxieties of mortals or even lesser deities. The speaker continued, their gaze sweeping across the silent gathering. "Do you wish to know the story of our honorable fighters for humanity? I think this will teach your arrogant selves a valuable lesson." With a snap of their fingers, Chaos transported everyone back to the blood-soaked arena where Ragnarok had unfolded. The shift was instantaneous, jarring. Confusion, fear, uneasiness, and caution were etched on every face, blurring the supposed lines between gods and humans. They shared these primal emotions, a testament to the shared experience of witnessing such a brutal and extraordinary conflict. "Enjoy," Chaos declared, the word hanging in the air like a death knell. (A reaction fic, where the Gods and humans react to the Einherjar's past life. It gets worse before it gets better.)

The Ancients A Tale of Survival
The war that everyone had been dreading has finally come to pass. It had effectively destroyed the land. Those that had died were lucky. The ones who survived were slowly being transformed by the radiation that blanketed the world. Thousands of years passed and the memory of what had happened began to fade and people were beginning to forget. Darkness and evil began to creep back into the land. Two siblings were all that stood between history repeating itself and the survival of a world that was just beginning to heal. Would evil take them? Would darkness return?
