Sacrifice is a lie for the weak. There are only gains and losses. Nothing can be gained without losing something in return. In fact, even paradise demands death.
Yet beyond this nihilistic view of life, never forget that the opposite is also true. In every loss, there is something to gain. The true essence of life-what you all call "wisdom"-lies in your ability to move forward through hardship, seek out these hidden gains, accept compromise, and strive for better days.
After all, the worst that can happen is death.
In writing this story, I hope you will find at least a bit of wisdom and enjoyment, despite my limited writing skills.

Beyond Infinity: The Convergence
The earth has been ravaged by war, and all that is left of humanity is on an iron island out in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. It was a paradise, because on Olympus, they were gods, or so they were made to believe. The inhabitants of Olympus were untouchable, beyond simple human desires like greed, hate and violence. Unfortunately for them, they seemed to have incurred the wrath of actual gods, nightmares, and monsters. And so, they have been forced to flee their 'heaven' for greener pastures, but before then, they'll have to pass through hell. Monsters, demons, nightmares and gods are only supposed to exist in the world of imagination, and that's exactly where they came from. And it just so happens that to survive, they'll have to enter the human mind, they'll have to invade the world of imagination, but what horrors must await them in such a place, depraved of reason and logic, perverted by man's desires and sick mind.Complete
Better Times
Before it all started. Before life became a living hell. Before everything shattered. This was better, it was peace. You could call it heaven. I call it a delusional dream, or perhaps they would prefer me to call it ignorance. No matter what it is called, it's all I have left of a peaceful existence. If you see it as hell already, well then, maybe you shouldn't be here. For, what will come to pass is nothing like this cushiony life, no matter who I hurt while living it. This is the prequal to the real story that will come. Warning: some characters struggle with mild mental illness symptoms. There is a bit of violence and some mild swearing. -NyxeComplete
