The world has ended, just like the prophecies foretold. Societies have crumbled; monsters from seemingly other worlds ravage what's left, and nothing can change it. Or so it seems...
It was also foretold that two people would rise from the nothingness to restore the world to what it once was. Could this also become truth?

Reincarnated as a Broodmother
The Story follows a once human girl named Aira with almost no recollection of the memories of her old life. All she remembers is waking up in a dark space with a deep voice asking her for a wish before she reincarnated into her next life in a different world, a world of Sword and Magic called Krupia with many different races as its residents. "All my life i hated humans. They disgust me. They are the reason for our planets extinction with their stupid wars and foolish actions. Aiming to create a world of wealth and happiness by destroying it in the process... the irony. I can't stand being one of them any longer so i'll become their greatest nightmare and I know just the way to bring them the despair and horror they deserve. I'm no longer Aira. From now on I shall be called Zyra and you have the honor to adress me as your Queen." Follow Zyra in her new life as the Queen of her very own swarm.

Seeds of Sorcery
Prologue: The Prophecy In ancient times, it was said that a great power would arise, a power that would bring magic back to the forefront of the worlds. It was said that this power would be born of lightning and fire and that it would be wielded by a mage of great strength and courage. The world would face great upheaval and danger, but magic would be the key to survival. There will come those who will unite the kingdoms and empires, and they will bring an end to the darkness that has long shadowed the land. It was said that these mages would be the saviour of the worlds and that they would bring hope and light to all. But for many years, the prophecy remained unfulfilled. Magic seemed to be ending, few remained that could wield it. The darkness seemed to grow. The people slowly forgot and those that remembered lost hope, the kingdoms and empires fell and changed and with it brought chaos. But then, one day, a young girl was born in a small village far from the capital. She was born under the sign of lightning, and she had the power of magic within her. And so, the prophecy began. The first of them had arisen, and the journey to bring magic back had begun.

SHUNOGAI ( ARCHIVED )
This is the archived version of Shunogai, still ongoing but not top priority. There are no chosen ones. No destined saviors. Only survivors of a system that collapsed and kept pretending it worked. In a universe torn apart by the Void, fragments of reality remain- stitched together by desperate gods, rewritten laws, and broken people. Shukan Ashikaga is one of them. Framed for the death of his family. Haunted by power he doesn't understand. Once bonded to Chronos, a Shunogai who chose law over loyalty, Shukan now walks with the shadow of a power that no longer chooses him. Now he leads a squad of outcasts through timelines that shouldn't exist, hunted by things that don't follow cause and effect. But something deeper is waking. Something older than the Void. Something that watches every step like a reader already halfway through the book. The rules are changing. The glyphs are whispering. And Shukan may not be a protagonist. He might be the reason it all ends. ✦ SHUNOGAI ✦ Rewrite the law. Break the fate. Burn the timeline.

Earth, our home. But... something is wrong. As the nature of reality makes itself known, watch earth react, and change, with fear, hate, progress, and love.

This is not an Apocalypse
The world is changing, two years ago strange weather, various anomalies and strange creatures started appearing from nowhere all over the world. Some creatures were completely alien and others were familiar looking as if they'd stepped from myth and legend. What many of these creatures had in common however was their aggressive nature and predatory instinct. Things that go bump in the night, that shifting shadow in the dark alley way, the cracking branch right behind you. Nightmarish creatures now stalk the land. Monsters. That isn't the only change in a new world however, humans have also changed. Some unknown phenomenon has granted humanity access to incredible power. The very elements themselves can now be wielded by those willing to risk the dangers. Earth, wind, fire, water, suddenly magic has become possible in a modern world and there are many who are eager to develop and embrace their newfound power and help protect their fellow man from monsters. There are also many who are willing to make a profit from newfound opportunities this changing world provides. Unfortunately for our MC Jack, embracing newfound power and going out to valiantly battle monsters isn't quite as simple as most other people have it. He possesses the rare and not so sought after lightning element, considered the weakest element for certain reasons, pitied and looked down upon Jack is determined to become a successful monster hunter in a more and more dangerous world. A slow burn story with world building, dungeon delving, character progression, Litrpg elements and more. WARNING - The MC is not a Mary Sue, he is not super competent, or super powerful or super intelligent nor a paragon of virtue, just a normal guy in a not so normal situation and him growing to deal with it in his own way.
