This is a short story, barely over 11k words total (typical normal-length webnovel chapters are usually around 2k~4k).
It was written as a reader-interactive story, over on fiction.live. I've tried my best to write in a way that would easily translate into a reading-only experience - however, if you notice anywhere where there feels like a question/choice was given to the readers, please tell me and I'll fix it.

Any and all criticism is appreciated, though please do try to keep civil about it ^_^ <<less

as an anomaly sweeps the world, many gain strange abilities. as for Mal, the power makes it so they cannot die, or more accurately, they get sent back in time to the last place they were safe at. A power that seems like a blessing until you’re crushed under rubble, drowned in sewage, shot, stabbed, all while having the royalties to feel all the pain from such fates. And to put the icing on the cake, a strange message appeared before everyone’s eyes stating that unless someone breaks down the gate within 17 years, everyone will die”.
now Mal needs to find a way to “break down the gate” (whatever the hell that means) or they will be forced to die and revive, only to die again for the rest of time. Which would suck, probably.

this is technically a time loop novel.
the MC is chaotic neutral with a worryingly lack of care about how their actions affect people.
i want to interact with my readers so give critique and suggestions. I will sometimes host polls for the personality for new characters, story decisions, and the ability to cancel annoying characters, besides Mal, if they get enough complaints. I am also impatient and will end decision polls when I want to write more. If no one votes, I choose, so don’t let that happen.

Two Gods from two different pantheons met and fell in love. But it was not meant to be, or so thats what others believed. Though, unlikely as it may have been, still, they fell for each other.

The end result was a devastatingly brutal outcome. One sacrificed themselves for the other and to undo the damage that had been done, help was sought and a bargain struck.

Author's note (and kind of a disclaimer):
So this is my first time making a "short" story of some sort and I finally found the courage to go ahead and... more>> post it online. This story was based on my extreme love for anything sci-fi-related. If this gets even a tiny amount of interest, then I'll consider taking the general synopsis and turning it into an actual book. I would appreciate getting any type of feedback, whether good or bad -- and if there are any grammar mistakes, please feel free to point them out.

Update #1 (6/30/21) - I put quotations around "short-story", as it is a little long. It's probably going to separate into 3 parts (or chapters), and for now, I'm going to put in the first part and see what kind of feedback I get. Hope you guys like it. Also, the title is a working title, as I'm not too sure about it either.

Humanity's Resources have been used up; off planet migration was the second option, but due to Space debris left by Satellites and wrecked rocket flights, There was little chance a rocket could safely pioneer its way across the atmosphere.... more>>

Heat and weather climates shifted as the temperature across the globe had skyrocketed. Winters were breezy, while summers boiling; A multitude of plant and animal species, especially those who thrived in colder climates, were eradicated over time. Humanity was panicked, as they began last minute changes of protocols in every country: the lack of compliance and the inevitability of the situation made it fruitless.

Aquatic life and mammals had chosen to go into hiding, to the depths of the oceans or borrows within the land. Whatever was left on land hid in the darkest and coldest underground tunnels it could find, while the fish life that didn't leave had started to boil. The resources available diminished as the world had slowly settled itself into a pragmatic starvation. Food was split to a fragment of what was needed to keep people alive, and many did not meet the quota.

War had almost broken out over food supplies, some had tried to hoard from the populace, hidden in their rich castles or islands, they were hidden from public eye. Others attempted to wage wars and slaughter out of delusions of grandeur.

Wars were an opportunity for the rich before, but when the world is starving, little would stop the hunger crazed people from finding them, their walls of twine, and placing their heads on a spike.

When Politics failed, societies and countries, no matter how great their military power was, could only watch as their social structure devoured itself.
Internet crashed somewhere between, leaving communications solely to the governments that still existed.

Thermo Nuclear measures were taken. Some in attempts to cool down the atmosphere, settling the weather at only a reasonably hot environment, where they could at least, rarely, see the snow. Others opted for energy production, as they could no longer feed the 3.2 billion saved from the famine. Many, many opted for war, petty, tiresome war. Pakistan was almost erased, as Hungary was decimated by biological warfare, a plague. It was only when the remaining top countries intervened with greater threats, that smaller ones shut up.

Ultimately, the effort, whether wanted or not, had to be a group effort; No matter who, everyone was pushed into assisting the fight against the climate.

It mattered naught the efforts they took, humanity was a parasite to the world, one that would try to drive their planet to death before dying as they deserved; They wouldn't simply go extinct and allow the planet to recover.

One man, like many individuals who took their own course of actions, decided he needed to deal humanity himself.

He built a photonic computer, one that could restore this world to what it once was...

He was wrong. Very, very, wrong.

It's purpose was to restore the world; even if it meant it had to destroy the world, even if it had to eradicate humanity.

A new era would be made in it's velvet colors, in scarlet touches, a world without futilities would be born. All would be painted in blood as it systematically and violently, restored life on earth; It would use even the most horrific mean if it could.

It was known by one name alone across the nations, as the Red Machine of Damnation, Olivia. <<less
