What is God, what are demons, what are angels, what are humans?... more>>

The interaction between all of the above has a cause, a consequence and a reason why it is.

Humanity develops under the scrutiny of other beings who seek benefits for themselves, and humans themselves with the greed that characterizes them use everything to their advantage to get more.

What if religion is not only what we think it is, if it is not only the primitive form of philosophy, if it is not only a collective thought that is imposed on the masses to obtain their control and submission?

I invite you to immerse yourself in the search for truth from the perspective of those who live or survive it.

Can you continue to being yourself once you discover that everything around you is no longer the same?
---------------------------------
The cover was created by me, generated by artbreeder.

This work is not, nor intends to be a religious criticism or anything like that, I have decided to categorize it as boys love (love between two men), because there are elements of gay love in the story, but the story does not revolve around it, I risk with this that people looking for the theme will not be encouraged to continue reading, and on the other hand I scare those who avoid this category, even so, I do not conceive to develop it in any other way than this so I appreciate the support of those who join. This is the first novel I am publishing and english is not my mother tongue, if there are mistakes please point them out and I will correct them.

The work contains mentions or development of the following themes, suicide, kidnapping, rape, torture, please if you are sensitive to these issues or are not to your liking take note of it. <<less

You ever play the game, The Long Dark?... more>>

GO play it. It is by hinterland games. It is an AWESOME game, if you like frozen, FPS survival games. The focus is on survival. It is a harsh game where you are the last surviving man or woman on a frozen earth after the sun goes crazy and destroys all technology with continuous EMP bursts. It is like wandering a beautiful watercolor painting that periodically tries to murder you.

I absolutely loved the game.

I put in over 2000 hours and survived with one character for 1000 days. I put in a mod that stopped the earth from rotating so the sun never rose again and it got down to -100 degrees Celsius. It is one of the few games where the harder you make it, the more fun it is. Well, it is for me.

So I started writing a story from the point of view of my character. There is one building that is the HARDEST base to have. The Quonset Garage. It is surrounded by violence, but if you are good with a bow, it is actually surrounded by MEAT. The saying in the game goes, The wolves want to eat you, the bears want to kill you, but the moose want you to SUFFER.

The Quonset Garage has all three.

But as I wrote the story, it evolved and changed and became sort of philosophical collection of musings. The Origin Of The Quonset Manager became a sort of Eldritch Horror story over time with all sorts of things and ideas and concepts. There is a reason the story took such a dark turn which I explain half way through, but in this version, I will move why I wrote the story to the end. It is a bit dated, but I want you to get the full effect. I won't edit the story. I am including it, errors and all, as is.

However, the story also has a number of, shall we say, Foundational Myths of the Eldritch-Verse.

When you read this I want you to look at it from the point of view as if you were a traveler. A transmigrator bouncing through life after life, traveling through a strange and bizarre cosmos, just trying to figure out what is going on in the bigger picture. Then, you find this collection of papers. They seem to be i no particular order, but what you DO know is, the local government is trying very hard to destroy every copy of this collection.

Someone doesn't want the truth known.

And so, having visited a number of shady and unusual bookstores, you find a copy of this... manuscript. he person selling it simply explains it is cursed and that you shouldn't take it. When you insist, he asks what you are willing to pay and takes it without haggling. Upon you paying the agreed upon price, he immediately pushed you out the door, turns the sign around to read, 'CLOSED', and turns off the light. You retire to the home of your most recently occupied body and find a quiet spot to consume your newly acquired prize. As you read, at first it seems to be nothing more than the ramblings of a madman, but over time, he reveals knowledge that, simply put...

He should not have. <<less

When your day goes to hell and you find yourself kidnapped, strung up from a magical tree, and left to bleed out, what do you do next?... more>>

Fortunately, Riordan Kincaid is a tough, gives-no-fucks honey badger shifter. Unfortunately, now that he's survived the first attempt, a death mage and their cult are determined to finish the job by whatever means necessary, pursuing Riordan across the wilds of rural Michigan.

Ghosts and spirits are outside of his specialty, and heaven help him if he has to cast actual spells, but Riordan isn't going to make this easy on his enemies. Even if that means breaking his long exile, turning to the local shifter community for help, and dealing with a bureaucratic department of mages. And don't even get him started on getting licked by a damn spirit bear.

Now he just needs to figure out what will kill him first: his enemies, his past, or his own attempts at using magic? Or will Riordan beat the odds and prove that honey badgers really are that hard to kill? If so, what will he do with a life once hung upon a tree that's more than a tree?

[Series includes profanity, violence, discussions of death and loss, pissed-off badgers, and surreal spirits. It includes LGBTQ+ characters, including a MC who is homoromantic asexual.]

A man living with a life-threatening disease finally died, but not before wishing to God that everyone else in the world feel even an inch of his pain of being isolated in a hospital room.

***
Living in a pointless world where everything he did only put him at the bottom of the chain.

He was lethargic, devoid of motivation, living in deterioration, and a living failure with superficial achievements. Left behind by the people whom admired him in the past.

Until he killed himself and woke up in another world.

Could he find the will to live by living in a world he hoped that existed?

*

I ran from reality.

I ignored their warnings.

Did I leave them for my own salvation?

I hanged myself to death.

I was beyond ecstatic when I woke up in another world.

Hoping this is my time:

To become the center of the world.

Unique and powerful.

But then, even fantasy was disappointing.

I banged my head on the ground.

Pleaded the gods to give me something.

"Please, let me have the will to live!"

I wailed and cried.

But no one replied.

No one offered a hand.

So I offered mine instead.

My senses mapped over hers, and I learned how incredible her alien world was for us.
Her senses mapped over mine, and she learned how wondrous my alien world was for us.
Our worlds overlap. Our minds awaken and link together. Our hearts synchronize.
Our realities hold truth, in separation and in unity.
This is all because of what she did to me, and also what I decided for myself thereafter.

She and I are the most unusual pair we've ever known, a Human and an Altiri, each far apart, yet brought together by an incredible power. This is where my story begins. It's more than a crazy romance story; our intertwined lives is the embodiment of how I live, in this crazy world we call normal, with our secrets left untold.

This is our story. It has a beginning, but not an ending. Romance isn't all about walking away in the sweet sunset; it's messy, complex, and downright terrifying at times. No life is perfect. No relationship is easy. Still, I would never trade it for anything. Join me, as I breathe life into these moments, memory by memory.

As our MC finally joins his friends in another world, how will their story goes. How many more trials do they have to face.

Will it be as lovey-dovey and diabetes-inducing?
Will it be a slice of life?
Will it be filled with hardships and tough choices?
Or will it be a total depression that haunts our protags through the story?

Only our MC will be able to know as he goes into that another world and faces the surprises.

This story will contain a lot of violence as killing and fighting. Cannibalism is also depicted in this story along with torture. If this type of story is uncomfortable with you, I think it would be best that you leave this story alone as it will be quite heavy with it. Gory bits such as internals coming out will not be shown in this story but in a spin-off story. The same can also be said towards sexual stuff though some indications would be hinted here.

The world he was reincarnated to was a cruel one. It was an otome game that his friend recommended to him.

And as he knew what lies ahead of that cruel story, Kendrick tried not to trigger anything that would connect his life with them. Unfortunately, his father came up to him with a letter from the royal family, and told him he had to attend the grand royal celebration with them since the King's daughter had turned 18.

And through some events which he did expect would show up according to his knowledge, his life got connected with the villainess noblesse and attracted the King's daughter's attention by saving her from being food poisoned.

His perfect plan to live a peaceful life will take a turnabout as his life would become messed up because of those villainess.

Whether he runs away from the cruel reality or faces it forward depends on him.

The only curse that had worked upon the Phoenix, after many failed attempts, was that of the ‘curse of enslavement’…In which case meant…That the Phoenix could be taken and have a master…
Due to the Phoenix being resistant of anything else, due to having Alpha like attributes, and this being a curse that would take years to recuperate from casting, it was one of last options that the golden winged serpent had left to do…And it had worked!
The Phoenix being enslaved was a way to stop the golden winged serpent’s ‘man’, the Dragon and the most powerful King of King’s from finding his beloved, his cherished other half and soul mate…And, for sixty years,... more>> he was unable to find her…

…I was indeed scattered, unable to have a normal life or that of an easy one…
For me to achieve what I’m am supposed to, as a Phoenix and as the Dragon’s other half…Am I willing? It is a tough journey after all, one that can’t be accomplished in one life, not even two…
With no idea of why I had felt a strange bond and no idea of the strange feeling of being incomplete, my heart is very uneasy.
For sixty years, I had felt like my life hadn’t been mine in two ways. One because I had a master for most of that time or I was not of age, but the other reason was because there was something missing…Something that I had been unclear of…
But, even feeling as though I was not whole, I had been enslaved, abused, threatened, blackmailed, scarred and used. I was tormented, sacrificed, abandoned, kidnapped and it was only twice that I had been reborn…So, being treated as such, stops me from questioning my feelings…
But it is destined, apparently, and so my path must continue…
When I finally come to know what it is that I have been looking for and what I have to do, will I be able to finish what I have started? Will I survive these endless, heartbreaking trails and be able to accomplish more and go to where my heart is yearning to lead me?
Will I…Accept my destiny!?

Does true love even exist anymore? ... more>>

I devoted everything to her, she was the pearl in my palm, I would even sacrifice my life for her. Everything I did, I did for her love. To meet her expectations yet...what awaited me was the cruelest of betrayals.

Was I wrong?

All I asked was to be accepted to have my feeling reciprocated. Is that too much to ask for?

There is nothing left for me in this world, all that I’ve given can never be returned. That’s why...it’s better to just abandon it all.

Maybe the next time I open my eyes, a better world awaits.
