It's August 64 AD. Three years earlier 20.000 Roman soldiers were butchered in a bloody revolt against the Roman occupation of Britain. The Romans restored order quickly. This followed by increase and prosperity within the new province. London became the provincial capital and the center of international merchandise. The new Roman roads and new Roman towns made transportation easier, quicker and attractive. It is at this time, that in Northern Europe a big economic recession occurred. Under Roman rule, the economy of the British tribes was initially focused on trading with the Mediterranean, Indian, Southeast Asian and Chinese markets. Suddenly, shocking news arrived in Britain of a terrorist attack on both Rome itself and on Lyon, the Capital of Gaul. Both cities were the target of mass pyromania and hundreds of thousands of people died. The merchant-ambassadors of the far east kingdoms Funan, Mahan, Baekje, Gaya, Jinhan, Silla, Ryuku, Mon, and Kyushu, became worried that this might lead to an end of their position in Britain. They feared that Nero might use this attack as an excuse to close down the Maritime Sino-Roman trade in silk, rice, art and wine. But then, on the advice of a adventurer, their attention turned to Scandinavia. What are they up to?

Imperium Reborn
The world ended not with a bang, but with a cough. Decades of pandemics shattered the global order. Governments collapsed beneath the weight of fear and plague. Economies died, nations splintered, and the age of progress gave way to chaos. The United Kingdom was the first to fall - Parliament burned, the monarchy vanished, and city-states rose from the ashes to fight over scraps of a forgotten world. With guns gone and technology fading, humanity returned to the weapons of its ancestors - iron, fire, and blood. Across the ruins of Britain, brutal warlords carved up the land, and tyranny thrived. But in the quiet, broken streets of Southport, one man offered a different vision. Cassian Vale, a historian turned revolutionary, believes civilisation's salvation lies not in rebuilding the old world, but in resurrecting a greater one - the eternal Roman Empire. From the ashes of collapse he forges legions, revives forgotten laws, and marches toward a destiny two thousand years in the making. From the fall of Britain to the conquest of Europe, from the darkened shores of Albion to the gates of Rome itself, Imperium Reborn is an epic saga of collapse and rebirth, rebellion and empire - the story of humanity's return to the eagle's shadow.Lengkap
Caledonian advocates
After emperor Trajan annexed Dacia, many Caledoni became more interested in becoming Roman due to the access to gold mines in the new province Dacia. A lot of them migrated to London in order to become involved in Roman commerce. The Caledoni send messengers to Rome requesting permit to trade with the Dacians. Within two years the Caledoni opportunists became wealthy. They reported their gains to their homeland. One of them returns to Caledonia in the hope to gain status with King Arvid. His corpse was found on a road far away from the palace. The murder caused much unrest in the south of Caledonia. The Roman governor of Britain even used this homicide as an excuse to raid several villages in the south of Caledonia. Despite Caledonia being a client kingdom of Rome, they were still treated as 'barbaric' by the officials in London. As a response King Arvid send advocates to London to find a solution, while he remained in Caledonia to prevent a civil war between the pro-Roman and the anti-Roman clans.Lengkap

Byzantine gold
It's the beginning of the 4th century AD. Italy, with around 14 million inhabitants, is the most wealthy, populous country in the world. It is also the center of the Roman-Byzantine Empire. At this time, the persecution of Christians became forbidden by law. Despite that, the tensions between Christians and pagans were far from over. At this time the Italian region 'Venetia et Histria', sometime referred to as 'the Venetian kingdom', grew in commercial importance. The prosperity of the Venetians and Histrians brought enormous divisions in the population. The love of money caused the wealthy Italians to drain their neighbours. The underclass, who didn't take it any longer, united in several fraternal gangs to target the rich. The murders and kidnappings increased. Only life in fortified cities was safe for the common people. During these days cargo fleets sailed into Aquileia. The ships contained envoys from Yemen, Funan and the Yamatai confederacy. In Aquileia not everyone was happy with the envoys that resided among them. The diplomats often engaged in criminal behaviour and they disregarded the boundaries of the community. When a Funan ambassador and his man violate two young girls, the civilians have enough. Assassination plots are made. And some people decide to emigrate...Lengkap
Is this the afterlife? (Countryhumans x reader)
Okay so let me start with this. This is kind of platonic, kind of romantic in a sense. Most of this is reader-chan interacting with the countries in various ways. It's not a oneshot book, and god do I have to say, is it a slow burn. This book also might be a little hard to read, but I'm sure you'll be fine. There'll also be little to no sexual themes in this book, but if there is something on the lime-y side, I'll mark it with a *. You have been warned. Summary: You die, or do you not? It's a question you'll never be able to answer. Disappearing in the rift between mortality and its end, you land, surrounded by something inhumane, yet beautiful in its own sense. There, you find out who you truly are, and who you were Always meant to be.Lengkap![[OLD] Escaping the Friendzone (Various! Hetalia x Reader)](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/179149955-256-k21442.jpg)
[OLD] Escaping the Friendzone (Various! Hetalia x Reader)
(School AU) (Y/n) (L/n) is a very smart young lady. She always gets good marks on her quizzes and tests. She's nice to everyone and tries to stay positive around her peers/friends/family. However, behind closed doors she tends to break down. She has an older sister with mental health issues and an older brother whom she used to confide in but he moved away and barely visited and talked to his family. This only made the girl's life worse. Her childhood friend and neighbor, Gilbert stopped talking to her as much when he started middle school, but she still hung out with Ludwig. Her mother was always stressed between being a single mom and dealing with her sister. So the girl used her studies and books as an escape method from the real world. Of course she had some friends, but not many really GOOD friends. NOTE: The reader has Situational Depression DISCLAIMER: I do not own Hetalia, the characters, art, or the au. I only own the plot and whatnot. And another issue is that there are a LOT of countries so I can't really do all of them, so the only characters falling for you will be: Francis Bonnefoy (France) Alfred F. Jones (America) Matthew Williams (Canada) Arthur Kirkland (England) Ludwig Beilschmidt (Germany) Gilbert Belischmidt (Prussia) Feliciano Vargas (Italy) Lovino Vargas (Romano) Antonio Fernandez Carriedo (Spain) Ivan Braginski (Russia) I suck at writing a fanfic with more than 10 characters involved unless I REALLY know ALL of the characters. Also I'm sorry I took out Japan and China. Before I started editing they got like zero attention and I felt bad Q_Q I hope you enjoy the story nonetheless and I thank you for taking your time reading this stupidly long description EDIT: If you want to see more interactions with a certain character (doesn't have to be ones you fall for) just let me know!Lengkap
Neolithic
The first agricultural revolutions began about 10,000 BCE in Egypt, China and Mesopotamia (Iraq). Trading require counting and the first written language; in general use by 2600 BCE. The first epic poem, Gilgamesh, was written in cuneiform. The first alphabet assigned Semitic characters to Egyptian hieroglyphs about 2000 BCE. It was adopted by the Greeks about 800 BCE and later modified for the Roman Latin alphabet. The Chinese built the first blast furnaces (using piston-bellows driven by waterwheels) and cast iron farm tools and weapons were common by 500 BCE. Austronesians sailed outrigger canoes over 6,000 kilometers from Taiwan to reach New Zealand from about 3000 BCE. About 100 BCE the Malays of Indonesia traded between China, India and Africa in sailing ships carrying 1000 people and a 260 ton cargo. The Greek navigator, Pytheas, sailed to the north Atlantic about 325 BCE where he recorded polar ice, the Midnight Sun and lunar tides. The Roman Prefect of Egypt (26-24 BCE), Aelius Gallus, noted 120 trading ships leaving Myos Hormos for India. WHO THE HELL ARE WE? is a series of short books and videos describing the evolution of civilization. Almost everyone on the planet is five times wealthier than their ancestors only 50 years ago. This astonishing phenomenon has also improved health, education, and longevity. The cause; an explosive growth in ideas and productivity. It began when we learned to control fire, evolved articulate speech and stumbled onto the way to create infinite wealth; free trade. The discovery of agriculture made us richer but we also learned how to destroy wealth. Great civilization grew up but then disappeared leaving only incredible ruins and ideas. Later books detail some of the ideas and developments that increased the average life span from about 40 years to more than 80 and the average world income from less than $3 to more than $33 per person per day (and to $140 per day in some countries).Lengkap

Fate: No One Plays the Villain Like I Do
In ancient mythology, there was a shadow that encircled the world-lurking in the darkness, waiting for the day it could raise its head and devour the gods. It once deceived the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh, into severing his ties with the gods and orchestrated the return of the great disaster, Tiamat. It shattered the authority of Olympus and lured Athena, the goddess of wisdom, into rebellion. It kidnapped Skadi, the goddess of winter, bringing shame upon Asgard and setting off the Twilight of the Norse Gods. It even engineered the clash between Britannia's Red Dragon and White Dragon, dragging Jeanne d'Arc into corruption. Because of this, it was branded with countless names of ultimate evil. "The Terror of Babylon, the Calamity of the Aegean Sea!" "The Nightmare of Asgard, the Apocalyptic Red Dragon with Seven Heads and Ten Horns!!" "Nemesis of the Messiah, the Original Sin of the World!!!" But seriously, we all did those things together-so why am I the one getting blamed for everything? ... When a man named Tokiomi Tohsaka used a piece of snakeskin to summon him, Samael saw how the Magus cautiously stepped in front of his daughters to shield them. In that moment, he understood... Yeah-he was definitely taking the fall for all of it.
Migration
The Roman Empire began to decline after Germanic tribes crossed the river Rhine in 406 CE. When Constantine III recalled the legions from Britain, three years later, the Angles and Saxons invaded and Britain became known as Angleland. The Visigoths sacked Rome in 410. The Vandals invaded north Africa in 429 and conquered Carthage before crossing the Mediterranean to sack Rome in 455 CE. Meanwhile, Christianity grew from a minor Hebrew religious cult to dominate much of Europe. With the continual violence, people reverted to a poorer lifestyle. However, the metal workers, glass blowers, carpenters, leather workers, rope makers, weavers, potters and farmers developed more efficient horse drawn plows, improved crop yields, build better boats and the first engineers designed water wheels to irrigate crops, grind seeds and saw wood. They invented wooden barrels, wagon wheels and windmills as the Chinese invented paper and printing. Meanwhile, the Indians revolutionized mathematics and Moslems discovered chemistry.
