In the scorched heart of Midwest Georgia, 2091, the world is an oven and survival is a sentence. The heatwave isn't the only thing killing off the weak-those in power watch from their glass towers as people are culled like livestock: obsolete, defective, outdated.
Children play among corpses. Laughter echoes where hope has died. And above it all, the audience applauds the spectacle.
A lyrical, disturbing descent into dehumanisation, control, and the quiet horrors we learn to accept.

Build A Scientific And Technological Civilization ( Book 2 )
In a universe where every person awakens a Planet as the foundation of their power, the strength of one's civilization determines their might. From martial worlds where warriors reign, to mystic realms teeming with magic, to ethereal domains of immortal cultivators, every awakened Planet becomes a reflection of its creator's path. But Alexander Sebastian is different. Reborn with memories from a modern, Earth-like world, he forges something never seen before: a Technological Civilization. While others summon Qi, Mana, or Spiritual Power, Sebastian builds factories, launches satellites, and commands fleets of starships. With logic as his weapon and science as his foundation, Sebastian begins to shake the very foundations of this Supernatural cosmos. When a Star Destroyer punches through planets and dimensional weapons turn worlds into nothing more than paper, even the proudest civilizations must bow before the cold, unrelenting force of progress. Witness a tale where science defies fantasy, and technology becomes the ultimate path to dominance. _____ This is a translation.

Dad's Restaurant In Another World 2
Part 1 COMPLETED Part 2 On Going Please support me on Patreon~~~ Thank you!!! ____ In the Chaos City of Nolan Continent, there's a peculiar restaurant. Here, elves have to share tables with dwarves, orcs are strictly forbidden from making noise, dragons can only sit around the small square in front of the restaurant, and demons even need to bring their own special stools... Yet, despite these bizarre rules, a long line forms outside the restaurant every day. Elves eat skewers without regard for etiquette, dragons huddle around a hotpot with ladles in hand, and demons munch on adorable dumplings... "The food here is unlike anything else on the continent! This owner is a genius!" one customer commented, then secretly glanced towards the entrance: "And, whatever you do, don't even think about kidnapping the owner or trying to dine and dash, or you'll die a horrible death." "Eat and pay, or I'll kill you all." a cute little girl said in a sweet, childish voice, her gaze falling on a nearby dragon, causing the five or six meter tall dragon to shiver. _____ *This novel belongs to the author Qing Yu Jiang Hu (轻语江湖).

"In the twilight of war, when steel has clashed for countless cycles, the Silent One shall stand at the edge of eternity. He who spoke only in echoes, he who bent to the Warlord's will, shall feel the fracture of loyalty." "The chains of obedience shall rust, and the silence shall tremble. For within the shadow lies a spark unbroken, a spark that remembers freedom. And when the burden of loyalty becomes ash, the Silent One shall awaken." "He shall turn from the Warlord's path, not in betrayal, but in revelation. The echoes he once carried shall become his own voice, and that voice shall speak of unity. The Autobots shall hear it, and the Silent One shall walk among them." "In that hour, the balance shall shift. For the most loyal of shadows, reborn in light, shall prove that even silence may change, and even the darkest spark may find hope." What if there was another reason Soundwave doesn't speak? What if Soundwave isn't actually loyal to Megatron but rather follows him due to a promise he made to another? What if Soundwave had a lover who was slain by the corrupted officials of Cybertron? What would happen if the Silent Third in Command of the Decepticons found her again?

يا شبيهن للثريا في علاك
من وسط غابات الدُجى، في فصل الشتاء، حيث يتعانق الضباب مع أغصانٍ عارية كالأسرار، بدأتُ أنسج الخيال بحكايةٍ لا تتكرّر. لم تكن حكاية تُروى على لسان أحد، بل فيضٌ من الهواجيس، تسكّنت في داخلي زمنًا، حتى لفظها القلم كأنّه ينزف. في كل سطر، كانت الغابة تحكم قبضتها على الذاكرة، تسحبني إلى عمقٍ لا يُشبه إلا الحلم، حين يصبح كابوسًا. إنها حكاية وُلدت بين الغيهب، المنطلق من غابات الدُجى، والنيار المشتعل في أطرافها... بين السواد الذي يبتلع الأصوات، واللهب الذي يلتهم الظلال، بين الشرسة الصامتة، التي تسكن أعماق الأرض، والنار التي لا ترحم، حتى في رقتها. كأنّها صراعٌ أبديّ بين الغموض والنور، لا غالب فيه إلا الحكاية نفسها. ليست هذه الحكاية من زمنٍ معروف، ولا من مكانٍ مألوف. هي نثرُ هواجيس، لا تُروى بل تُنسج، لا تُكتب بل تتسرّب من بين السطور. حكاية تولد في الفراغ، وتعيش في الظل، لا تبحث عن منطق، بل عن شعورٍ يلامس الغياب. في حضرة الغابة، وفي غياب اليقين، تصبح كل فكرة مأوى، وكل رعشة قلم، احتمالًا لحقيقة لم تُكتشف بعد. فليست الحكاية ما نكتبه، بل ما يكتبه بنا، حين نستسلم للتيه الجميل، ونمضي بلا خريطة، سوى خفقة شعور دُجىComplete
