Fantasia Series #2 <<less

Shen Yu was sincerely in love. For that person’s sake, Shen Yu ignored his illness-ridden body and plotted to overthrow the tyrant. It was only after Shen Yu died that he learned the truth. He was a character in a book, and the man he loved only viewed him as a stand-in for the protagonist. To pave the way for that couple’s happiness, Shen Yu lost everything.
After he was reborn, the sickly Shen Yu was so done with that.
As for that man, whoever wanted him could have him.
Shen Yu took his half-brother’s place and became the male concubine of the tyrant. The tyrant didn’t like men anyway, and Shen Yu didn’t have... more>> much time left. Since he was going to die, he might as well go to the palace to sit around and wait for death.
After entering the harem of the tyrant everyone feared, Shen Yu ate and drank without a care in the world.
The tyrant, with long black hair on his shoulders and crimson eyes, didn’t hide his hostility. He grabbed Shen Yu by the neck. “You’re not afraid to die?”
Shen “Just get it over with” Yu felt a little excited. “Are you going to kill me now?”
Tyrant: “? ? ? ? ?”
Shen Yu entered the palace expecting to die, but he waited and waited and waited. In the end, the officials petitioned to make him the empress, and the tyrant cured his deadly illness.
Shen Yu: “…”
Shou: jumps frantically up and down on the gong’s bottom line but never dies

Six decades ago, the gods of Akkarris gave a prophecy. The Ravernal Empire, a bloodthirsty conqueror of incredible power would invade the world they lived on and enslave every last person if nothing were to be done.
Needing a powerful ally, the world's brightest minds united to create a superintelligent and self-governing artificial intelligence, guided by the god of machinery, Mekanus. It gave itself the name of Arkon, and settled on the inhospitable and barren continent of Oxanda, creating Sector Zero of the Akkarrian Contingency. ... more>>

After twenty-five years of preparation, the light-wings descended and the sky turned dark for a moment. A short yet violent war ensued, with the Ravernals eventually being forced to flee by both organic and machine. The victory came with a cost though, as many cities were left in ruins. Calm followed for three decades, the Contingency's vast industrial capacity lending it to be an economic power, and its airtight security letting it hold international summits between world leaders.

Learning of the sorcerers' next target, the gods spoke to the pantheon of Aelna and came to the conclusion that the AI will be sent there to slay them once and for all. This new world had fantastical beasts, powerful magic and a wide variety of cultures and nations. It would have made peaceful relations with the rest of the nations, warned them about the threat and prepared alongside them for the final fight.

Of course, this didn't happen. In a legendary display of Murphy's Law, the summoning process goes horrifically wrong. Vital blueprints gone, critical infrastructure shattered and its army a shadow of its former self. Arkon must now recover its power and navigate its way through this very minor wrench in its plans.
How will the machine and its legions adapt to the new world? How will they change the events of history?

This story is based off of Summoning Japan by Minorou, but will diverge from its plot considerably.

The capital has fallen to Usurpers, and any who could have stopped it are now at war in the north. The Prince's bride has fled with her son, and amidst all this dire news, Rapture realises his own days may well be numbered.

Up on the northern shores, the invasion of the Nidhogg Fleet finally arrives.
The Prince goes to meet them, guarding the beaches with his army.
Among them stands Rusalka, Lady of Venus, as well as her husband Alexander and the Lords whom they have gathered.
The Lady and her people were once the guardians of this sea border, and now the price of their failures must be paid with blood and blade.

Yet all of this conflict by itself is only prologue.
The nations of the world stand on a knife edge, each one keeping an eye to check another.
Such a skirmish stirs up the waters of a global conflict.
Olympus and their Dukes seek to strike at Vesta, in Muspelheim's west.
Abel and their Saints make a move against Olympus.
The Immortals of Svartalfheim march southways into Abel.
And the Knights of New SIlbur march upon both Svartalfheim and Alfteim at the whims of their God and Emperor.
The likes of such wars are numerous in Ymir's memory, and though the tomes of old state they are brief, they are always deadly.

So much conflict stirs the seals of the slumbering Gods.
Three of them yet lay in their prisons.
Perhaps, when the last drop of blood is shed, all of them may be set free... <<less

In the vast and volatile lands of Tepr, the Jabliu and Alinkar tribes, long-standing enemies, have forged an uneasy alliance. The price of peace? A union through matrimony between Naci, the fiery and ambitious daughter of Jabliu's chieftain, and the elusive heir of Alinkar.... more>>

Some clarifications and notes:

- While this is a School Life/SoL Novel, it contains dark and traumatic content. I advise you to be aware, as I won't put warnings to spoil avid horror readers.

- Multiple characters with some exploration, town-building, and politics. There's something for everyone and I never write a perspective without you knowing something new afterwards.

- The Game World of Callixtus has an entire map, along with special ranking, magic systems, races, classes, and commands/spells. I'll make a list once enough information is given.

- This book contains Drama and Romance aspects, though they'll be naturally occurring and won't be the focus of the story.

- There are a lot of characters both in Callixtus and in the real world. At some point, I'll create a fandom/wiki so you'll be able to visualize them all with art, along with a ranking chart of the different academy brackets. <<less
