The world broke.... more>>

And with his world he too believed himself dead.

And truly during a momment he felt himself dead but in the next he woke.

And what greeted him was the place that he dreamt often in his sleep.

He was home, and he was in the time before the cataclysm. His neighbour was arguing with his wife. His dog was no where to be seen but surely was fucking some poor bastard pet.

Well, and he was fucking taking a shower.

Remembering all times that he killed for a fucking slurp of water he quickly got out.

Why was the day so sunny? Ha! The last day before the cataclysm was such a beautiful day. Fuck, even a fucking volcanic eruption in the middle of the city would be beautiful compared with the cataclysm.

Tomorrow people will DIE and he doesn't give a fuck. <<less

Can you tell zombies will always be a fiction? Have you ever thought of a day you shall live a life out of security, praying for the worst will not fall down on yourself?... more>>

It was the question of all living creatures on Earth in the end of their 21th century.

They were real at last, the walking dead. When the first human infected by the Chronic Wasting Disease turned into a zombie, chaos soon rose within a decade. Deers had been wiped out in the efforts of stopping the spread, yet millions of people had been infected.

The only way to protect humans themselves was to build walls to seperate the infected and exclude them to the wild. It was the day humans could hardly live with mother nature again.

While humans had come to this surviving method, in Japan, a corporation named Paradise introduced a "have-never-seen-before" product, an AI that claimed itself to have gone to the Godhood. Machina was its name, and this AI was proposing humans to accept a program called "New Era of The World Tree".
It would bring humans to the World Tree it created, for them to live and experience a life of some real fantasy that they had never seen before.
And once more, humans found another mother nature to live with.

Paradise climbed to the top corporations of Japan, eventually the world within half a century, making them the most powerful corporation in AI technology and soon took over every single other company working in this field.

Was such a world come to real life really interesting?

Max finds himself in a time loop. Any kind of death annuls everything except his present knowledge, and returns him into the past. This is a good way to test all sorts of things. That is, it would be, if not for one little thing... This loop has real Lords and it’s unlikely that they will be happy to find out about an uninvited guest.... more>>

And that isn’t his only problem; all of his memories of the last year have simply disappeared. But the world around him changed in the meantime. Earth has been seized by the Velly clan and is now part of their Star Empire. Max has also discovered his gift of being a psychic.

However, the latter isn’t that big of a deal.

Everyone can be a level one “battery;” for everything else, however, it’s necessary to have some talent, money, and connections, which only complicates things further.

A whole new world, great opportunities, and big troubles... Welcome to the Last Time Loop! <<less

Gloveer Sibjaan (53), one of the Salt Barons of Vara has been having trouble this past year. ... more>>

Matters at home are chaotic. Isbrun, Gloveer’s eldest isn’t shaping up as the heir he should have been and Gloveer’s other 3 children have issues of their own their father has to deal with.

Even worse, dark clouds cover the horizon, and the abnormal rains are a damper on the salt trade. Shipments are irregular these days and there isn’t much sympathy for a salt baron without money.

Even at the best of times, the hawks were never friends to the mercantile barons and naval faction. They become bolder and ruder as Vara’s ally and neighbour Aaljau gears up for war against the So Empire once more. The front looks desperate this time, even Gloveer has to admit, as the So buy the full support of the recently formed Princips United to the North to support their campaign.

But even occupation of the Diostejan Peninsula by its historic foe might not be the true threat. As the skies change in Vara, so do the animals in the woods. Tales of leviathans surfacing in the seas reach Vara from far ranging fisherman. Worse, reports of Princips soldiers flinging fire from their hands lower the morale of the Varan council.

As Gloveer wonders how to keep his mercantile interests afloat until his second son can come of age, a letter arrives for him with a cryptic warning from a familiar name: his own. <<less

"From the city, you look towards the damp, dark walls for the creeping mycelium, the forests filled with rocks covered in a body of thick, green algae, the climbing plants that grapple onto high trees for the sunlight high above, killing the low-lying plants below, and here I stood, like any other living thing, yearning for energy readily available for consumption. To consume, to survive, to impart the energy from others for our own benefits, this is no better than glorified parasitism, and alone in complete solitude, consuming the sounds of the world, consuming the little oxygen left on the world, consuming the views the world provides, What solace is there left in such lunacy?... more>> I am deprived, I am empty, and for now, I consume voraciously."
