In a single night, the once peaceful life was utterly shattered.
The truth lurking beneath the calm surface was abruptly unveiled.
Beneath human faces hid predatory gazes.

Deception, betrayal, ambushes, battles, farewells...
Life and death intertwined in brutal clashes;
Good and evil locked in ceaseless confrontation;
Right and wrong blurred in relentless strife.

From that moment on, survival became a fragile balance-
A world where the strong devoured the weak,
Where one false step could lead to an endless abyss.

How do we escape this labyrinth?
How do we break free from the web of fate?

Adrian Blackwood, an orphan, was transported at the age of six to a "parallel world," where he found himself embraced by a warm and loving family of five.
At eighteen, Adrian stumbled upon a horrifying truth: this was no parallel world but a mysterious domain, and the family and friends around him were terrifying "beasts."
Upon discovering this secret, Adrian barely escaped death. In his moment of despair, he unlocked a mysterious system-[Fortune]-a unique power that made him stronger the longer he survived.

Thus began a ruthless game of survival,
A battle between lambs and wolves.

PLEASE BARE THIS ALL IN MIND WHEN READING.* "Your defiance isn't appreciated, Angel." Adrian murmured into my ears, causing shivers to snake their way down my spine. "You're dominance isn't appreciated, alpha." I sneered while leaning away from him and his masculine scent. "Dominance is something that you will get used to, I will always dominant you, I am above you, you may be my mate but I will always be your superior. Don't forget it. Adrian explained in a harsh voice. "Well defiance is something that you'll get to because I will constantly defy you, you may be my mate but I'll always defy you, alpha." "I'll break you-you defying little she-wolf." Adrian replied with a wicked smirk. "You won't, you can chain me up, lock me up, anything, I will never surrender to you." *** Angel has always been defiant, more defiant than most wolves.

Gamleon's Tail    ~ Welcome to the worlds of :  Within ~ by Cicada3300
17 parts Ongoing Mature
I wrote this for EVERYONE. To appeal to anyone that reads ANY genre. It combines almost all of them. It's an introduction to the Worlds of Within universe. When you get to the action parts (which doesn't take long) you should be invested enough to want to unravel the mysteries and enjoy its intrigue... The flood is raging. A terrifying, heartless mountain of water, swallowing the world . The tunnel networks? Of course, that won't save them. The forests? Like leaves in a breeze. The lookout towers and trade hubs? Gone. Washed clean. Every home, every last trace of what once was. Gamleon is the first to see it ... and survive. His mind is near collapse, his heart broken. He runs. What would YOU do? What could anyone do? Some scrape by in a mythological setting of beasts and medieval men. Cruel, literally cold-blooded Gorgon hordes enforce an absolute rule slithering in the tunnels beneath the feet of every kingdom. There is an isolated, forgotten place. A cavern, magnificent and vast, older than civilization. A place where the weird and the unwanted might ride out this cataclysm if Gamleon can stay alive long enough to get them there.. In this special place, something incredible, cut off from the outside, lurks. Something... you won't be ready for or ever expect. Gamleon, our weary adventurer, is a paradox: terrifying to some perhaps, yet his heart and intent is helpful, with a quiet dignity bordering on noble, intimidating and innately intelligent. The only way back out is to navigate the Gorgon tunnels. Join him, won't you ? Share his inner thoughts . See and feel how they help us all learn how to persist and triumph in spite of a world where everything is stacked against us. ( sound familiar, it should.) Join him and be swept away as he encounters or invents never-before-seen innovations and outrageous challenges. Dignity meets hope. Self-respect shines beyond courage. Welcome my friend to the Worlds of Within.

Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.
