When everything in existence suffers a change, or welcomes it, and what is to come has finally come - would it beget with its origination the terror, deathliness, tragedy, torment and devastation? Or would it, by any chance, differ from its authentic nature and reality?... more>>

In the deepest of the first starless dark blue night, its point of origin vastly different from the one where everything 'began'... a beautiful hand reaches to taint the most fearsome. Would its origin bring chaos to it all?
--- *** ---

What are the words that hold the utmost power? What are the thoughts that break it all? Which are those who shine brightest, gloom darker, and explode defiantly against reality who prevail?

Any lifeform of the world, no matter how advanced and evolved; all become subject to terror for the very same ones:

One, afraid of the dark. Two, of the violent forces of Nature. Three, of Injustice.

It's not about having the reason on your side; it's not about having the power to demand for subservience and is not whether one is right or not... It's about taking it all with your own hands!

No darkness is gloom without light to obverse it; no light shines brighter without endless emptiness. But it is only one that is; only that has been; only one that can; that will; that KNOWS.

One little grain of sand can evolve into a dried-up sea; one little animal can become a monster; one sole thought can become reality... But can any of them regress, lose it all, suffer nonsensically, and beget — 'all that exists and there is'?

Would they be willing to? ...Can they do it? ...Do they understand?

---
Synopsis for dummies:

Born in a world where every imaginable thing is so advanced even the earth one can step on moves and thinks, met with the pureness of nature at birth, and touched by the unimaginable.

To see the future is for fools. To long for the past is too late. But to see ahead is the only road.

What might be a long and arduous lifelong objective for one can be a simple step for others. What others can't see might be sensed by someone else. And to walk as one never betrays themselves... is glory.

When the bells ring, the heavens change, the world trembles, and a change is called upon... Will there finally be that something that has been missing? What the world had lacked all this long? What... the world deserves? Will a person change that? Will they do it all alone, terribly consumed in coldness and leaving horrors wherever that person walks? Or will there be a returning change that the world has even forgotten for... ever?

Even the smallest of rebellions and uprisings... can be the start of everything.

Waking up only to find that she's reincarnated into a world very reminiscing of a game that she used to play, Yuki is suddenly thrust into a worldwide conflict. To ensure the longevity of her newfound motherland, Yuki will have no choice but to flip this war upside down. If only to finally has some closure for past life also.

So buckle up, strap your helmet tight, and keep your rifle loaded and on safe. This is not your bog-standard story about overpowered characters on a battlefield, no. This is a story about warfare in all its bloodied glory, the leader that calls the shot, the soldiers that execute them, and the nation that's backing them up. And along the way, sprinkle those a healthy dose of beautiful maidens, lily/futa romances, and build a harem.

This is not gonna be a quick and decisive run, no. We're in this one for the long haul. Hail, Ironblood!

Since this story has included elements and characters from different series. I will be listing this as a fanfiction. So far, I've included elements from Honkai Impact 3 and Ace Combat.

In a time, now remembered only as myths and legends a great scourge threatened to consume the universe. It was an age of war unlike any fought before and since. A war of such fantastic scope, and extent that age-old enemies joined together in historic alliances. Entire worlds lay devastated, and vast fleets were raised to wage war across galaxies. For Millennia the ancient powers fought in a vast war for survival against an endless menace. The Victor? No one knows. The ultimate fate of the precursors and their enemy has been lost to time, but neither has been seen since the Great War of Legend. To this day relics of that great war can... more>> still be found. Among ruined worlds, and ancient battlefields. Mysterious and ancient worlds that still remain untouched even after being abandoned millions of years before.

A group of aliens desperately seeking technology to help them in their own war has found one such relic of this ancient war. An ancient battleship that lies dormant on the edge of their borders. Their very presence awakens that ship, and the ship soon finds itself confronted with the mysteries of the past and a mysterious power in the present. Join her as she seeks to uncover what happened to her creators, and the ancient scourge that had threatened to consume all. Even as she finds that the war she has been thrust into may prove more interesting than a first glance would suggest. <<less

'The UnderCurrent Incident' of 2022 gave humanity it's first glance at alien life, although not in an expected way.
It allowed for a VR-like vision into the lives of an entire race of people separate to our own. This novel serialises their story, the story of 5 ordinary pilots partaking in an interplanetary war of galactic proportions.
With no way of knowing if this glimpse into a foreign society is an alternate reality or some distant planet in our own universe, it would only take so long for the public to demand a guided tour - Now you hold that very thing in your hands, with exclusive access to the project and transcripts from the original experiment's team. You will learn of the lives to which UnderCurrent affords us a view into.
Of the Battleship Fluchtig's soldiers, of a conflict that spans far more then any of them know and of their hunt for a 'Dangerous Submarine'.

Now on Royal Road and coming to Scribblehub!
This is my own original work, with obvious inspirations from the likes of Gundam, Dune, 1984, Evangellion, Grimgar and anime in general.
All ideas and concepts shown are my own, though I do Parody some things.
A fair amount of research has gone into many of the topics in this book, but I am by no means an expert in any.

I'd love to share some of the research I've come across on mecha, living in Space, and amputees. Amputees in particular is a worthy topic we should all be more educated on - You may find this video link a brief intro into that world; https://youtu.be/piiFI8QafHs

There is a degree of deconstructionism towards the mecha genre involved with an onus on taking a more practical look at the features of that mode of storytelling, giving actually worldbuilding explanations for some of the fantastical equipment involved and using the likes of military structure and resource management in conjunction with the story, but hopefully this is something anyone can enjoy with no prior knowledge of the genre traditions.

Thanks for reading! <<less

This is the story of a man who woke up one day and realised that he became a ship. A broken ship that's stranded in space with a skeleton as a captain, but nevertheless a ship!

Now, S.A.S. Abyssal (Self Aware Ship Abyssal) roamed space freely, wanting to find her purpose in this endless void. Along the way, she upgraded herself, found other Living Cores such as herself, got herself a maid, got into a dogfight, went space mining, upgraded herself further, steered through a minefield, encountered a supernova and even found genetically engineered catgirls!

Also, it turned out that there was some sort of crazed bounty hunter out for her blood! But wait there was more! She also somehow got herself involved in an intergalactic space war!

‘Wait wait wait! What the hell is this?! What am I supposed to do now!?’

Atara Korrell, a retired Navy captain, is called back into service after a gifted scientist loses everything.... more>>

Is she serving her country? Or is she just a pawn in a great game?

Orivar is a web novel series set in the distant future. Humanity has all but mastered the exotic material known as omnium, the most common of which is called orivar: the original variety. That clear crystal is a transmuter of mass and energy, and the very existence of contemporary Civilized Space depends on it.

Deep Black, the first book in the series, begins a classic story of light versus darkness. A novel variety of omnium–one with the potential of sending Civilized Space crashing down–is stolen from a research station just beyond the Federation border. Atara Korrell, a retired Navy captain, is called to command the fastest starship ever made to chase the thieves and retrieve the stolen sample. Meanwhile, enemies both near and far vie for the omnium sample and the advanced technology powering her ship. Can Atara remain loyal in the face of seeming betrayal?

Most thought World War 3 would bring an end to the world as we know it, and the superpowers of the world knew this as well. Yet when the prices for basic raw materials continued to rise, it was China who first took the steps to war. A war for untapped resource deposits in Africa no less, and The United States and The Russian Federation, moved to counter.... more>>

Set 5 years after the resource proxy-wars in Africa in the year 2040. A new Earth eases back into peace. China with what little land it gained in Africa turns inwards to combat the growing instability of the border regions, a military coup in Russia marks a new chapter in its own history, and The United States comes out leaving beaten and bruised, but not defeated.

But on June 15th, a world-altering event transpired. It only lasted for a fraction of a second, however it did more damage than any war could do. The United States, with all its power and might, had… well, vanished. The continental United States, a once thriving nation of 380 million people, now just forest, plains, desert, and mountains.

Now, the 49th President, President John Dresden. Is forced to lead a nation scattered across a foreign world, a shaken economy with the foundations themselves cracking, and an anxious nation. While on Earth, mass hysteria over the vanishing of The United States pushes world leaders to their breaking point, and people to do things they wouldn't even thought of doing just a few weeks prior.

Will this be what finally causes Earth to remember its past, or be what finally brings down The First Realm?

Author Notes/Statements: Being Non-American(Canadian) I apologize ahead of time if I get anything wrong with either government structure or how certain people are supposed to speak/act.

Updates for this story will be inconsistent as all hell, however, I will make sure to post 'update chapters' to keep those who are interested in my story in the loop on what's going on should there be a long period with no new chapters. I will only post chapters that I am satisfied with.

In the dark age of humanity, lots of warfare happened in different region, the war took place in the blue planet similar to earth. The terrain itself is very different where 74% of the surface is covered with waters, instead of tanks or any ground army, every nation used ship and planes as a weapon for war, the biggest warzone occurred at the border of 4 nations (Sakura Empire, Eagle Union, Royal Navy, Iron Blood).

What would happen if a developing country was transported to another world?... more>>

In South East Asia, there exists a nation of over 17,000 islands strategically placed between the Indian and Pacific Ocean. This country, named the Republic of Indonesia, is a regional power which has enjoyed the period of global peace in the early 21st century.

However, as Indonesia approaches its 80th independence day in 2025, the country is suddenly transported to another world much different from the Earth that the nation is familiar with. This developing nation now has to deal with new challenges and survive in this new world without any help from the developed countries of Earth.

With no satellites, a limited military force, and the lack of the more advanced technologies enjoyed by developed nations such as America and Japan, will this young and fledgling nation survive and establish its place in this unfamiliar world or be another nation simply reduced to texts in the history books?
