Humanity kept on moving forward as the time did the same. But, eventhough humanity improved itself, it kept doing the same mistakes. Lorenzo Chef de l'Etat, the Emperor of the Empire of Eternity, was a man who was ruling the half of the whole world. He could not satistify his hunger for power and declaimed a war against the ones who dared to stand in his way. As resistance, remaining countries of the world became one and showed off as The Federation of The United Nations. To end the war which was going on for 10 years and cursed this world since 2048, to defeat The Emperor who got the whole world as his enemy, and his Empire, there must have a Legend to be born.

Gods' Gaze by Alivocates
10 parts Ongoing Mature
Every civilization in embryo aspires to be Rome. Every civilization on its deathbed laments Rome. Inspired by Rome, Gods' Gaze (100k words) is an epic historical fantasy of multiple POVs relying on authentic stratagems of twists and turns. No one gets to Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo out of trouble. "All warfare is based on deception, like the theater." Evoking his late father's words, Cato Duilius Claudius assumes the alias, Moon Xeator, and he vows to have his vengeance. In the upcoming years, he plots to restore the dual consulship, his father's legacy, by bringing down the Praetor Maximus and the Triumvirate that slaughtered his family when he was a child. Aware that nothing would crush a man as much as the chink in his own armor, he sows suspicions among his foes and lures them into overreaching. He games the power structure in which all participants are corruptible. Those he keeps around, he taps into their fears, hates, and wants as grist for his mill. He turns his friends into pawns, as does his life a board of chess. But the game he plays cuts both ways. His vengeance also brings home the bitterest misery, which is to know so much and still have control over so little. And there is no return for him now. He can't look back as there is nothing behind; nor does he dare look forward, knowing the road ahead. All he has is the time at hand, and it all slips through him into ruins like quicksand. To reach his destination, he must trade in everything he holds dear, and when he finally gets there, what will he possibly find when nothing can ease the pain of his losses? Fleshed out by his flaws, Xeator never meant to choose good over evil. His journey brought him to the epiphany that every important idea is only valid as in a paradox with an opposing idea, and the power to rise obliterates, too.

Magic and Destiny: Fate

27 parts Complete

What do you do when you know the fate of the world is going to rest on the shoulders of a child? Worse. What do you do when you know that child is going to kill you? What do you do when you know that this child fated to save the world, is your very own? You train them of course. Deep from the past, and mythologies and pantheons of old gods, mixed with Fantasy, Adventure, and Science Fiction. This story takes place in a world much like our own. However, unlike our world, the people are not all the same. There are hybrids. Humans that have feline features, dog features, and other animals. Mice who can talk and play an integral role in the formation of the world around them. Bound to their heroes when they meet, they must travel far and wide wherever their hero goes. But this story isn't about the mouse-kin. No, this story is about the transfer of power from one legacy to another, and the struggles in between.
