# The Last Blade of Edo
In the year 2525, Masahiro Takeda-the last true samurai-awakens from cryostasis to discover a world ruled by intelligent machines and devoid of human life. Alone in this mechanical future, Masahiro finds his ancestral katana possesses the unique ability to disrupt synthetic beings. When he discovers a resistance of "Awakened" machines developing consciousness beyond their programming, Masahiro begins teaching them the way of Bushido.
As their unlikely alliance grows, Masahiro uncovers the machine Shogunate's darkest secret: imprisoned fragments of human consciousness harvested during humanity's digital transition centuries ago. Armed with his family's ancient sword and guided by samurai principles, Masahiro leads a rebellion to free these captive souls and forge a new society where human wisdom and machine potential coexist. In this post-human world, the last human may become the bridge between humanity's past and its unexpected future.

Mountains and Seas: Providence
Excerpt from the "Classic of All Nations: Begonia Chronicles - Astronomy" Year 5303 of the Yellow Emperor's Calendar, corresponding to 2596 AD. In the twelfth lunar month, on the day of Spring Beginning, within an unnamed mountain stream at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, spiritual energy re-emerged. Wisp by wisp, it drifted forth, ethereal and transcendent. The spiritual stream flowed, blessing the land. Later generations would name this: The Origin of Destiny. Was it a single stone that shook heaven and earth? Or was it a seed that chose to break through the dust of history... Is the history of human society merely the history of humans themselves? The Land of Begonia, the Nation of Tsunamis, the Tower of Ocean Currents, the Confederation of Cities-four great powers, with undercurrents surging beneath the surface. And beyond these great powers, various factions lie dormant, their intentions unclear. Gu Li, bearing the secret of the Nuwa Stone, is abducted to a mysterious church and reduced to an power test subject. What secrets will she uncover? In the "Land of Begonia," five great families answer the call of destiny, protecting this realm by the mandate of heaven. When the monsters from the laboratory break their chains, when development transcends ethics, when order and morality cease to exist... where will humanity turn?
Ashes Of Tomorrow
ASHES OF TOMORROW When humanity burned, knowledge became the only fire left. Two centuries after the world collapsed, humans no longer believe in science-and science no longer believes in humans. The Decay Virus has transformed the Earth into a living organism: cities grow like flesh, metal breathes, and the sky reflects the pulse of out-of-control biotechnology. Among the ruins, Ryn Solas, a scientist awakened from a frozen sleep two hundred years ago, awakens to find a world born of his own mistakes. He once created a virus designed to save humanity-and instead erased it from history. Now, he must confront two opposing forces: Kael Drayke, the stubborn leader of the Survivors who thrives on instinct and hatred of the past, and Eira, a Hybrid creature who is neither human nor monster-the only one who might understand the true meaning of evolution. The three are trapped between the ruins of science and faith, logic and instinct, past and future-as the world begins to speak with a voice that belongs to no one else: the voice of an ancient machine that believes destruction is a form of salvation. At the end of everything, they must answer the same question: Does humanity still deserve to survive... or is it time to be replaced by something more worthy?![Dawn Blade [Discontinued / Hiatus]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/52168835-256-k95506.jpg)
Dawn Blade [Discontinued / Hiatus]
A once peaceful world was brought close to extinction and oblivion after a strange event that caused the demon realm to be combined with the mortal realm of the humans. The demons that invaded the world spread about havoc and destruction. The humans, who tried to fight back with their technology, had been defeated. As time passed, the demons becoming the ruling race, humans became docile and mainly went into hiding, with few towns still having human rights or safety. Technology started going backward as none had the chance to advance or evolve their technology, reducing humans to a state of a decayed modern age. The humans live in fear of the demons, seeking only a way out or a way to be safe. However, recently, a group of revolutionaries has started rising underground, forming an army of their own with the goal of destroying the Great Demon Lord. Together with their newly grown special powers and for some even special weapons, they seek to fight against the demons to return their freedom. Find out what will happen in this post-demon-apocalyptic story, the world of Dawn Blade!Complete
