Worlds Apart: Fables of Edea by l_o_f_i_t_e_a

In the beginning, there was only one world. Our world. Our realm. Our home. But everything changed when the Creator vanished. With their absence, our world unraveled. Order crumbled and destruction ensued. Without guidance, without hope, chaos reigned. And so, to salvage what remained and to prevent us from ripping each other apart, the realms were torn apart-separated for the sake of our survival. As long as the World Tree stood, our worlds coexisted in harmony, distant yet connected. But nothing in this universe lasts forever. The World Tree is dying. Its roots are withering, its strength is fading, and the fruits of creation are disappearing. The Collide is coming and there is nothing we can do to stop it. But yet, even as fate looms over us, we refuse to surrender. This is our home-our heaven and our hell. We will not stand by and watch it fade. We will fight. We will endure. Because no matter what comes, our world is not yet lost...

The Laws of infinity by Timeisthekey45

In this book, I will write about aspects (concepts, if I said everything correctly, of course) which will be common to all the fanfiction that will appear on this profile. Since I am not particularly eager to do " copy - paste ", these materials are mandatory if readers want to understand more. I will try to present this information in the most simplified version, thank you for your attention. Unfortunately, I don't know English very well, but I hope that you will be interested in reading this.
