[Author's Note]: I haven’t written anything for a few years so it might be a bit rough around the edges from the start of the story. The story is planned to have a slightly slow start as it builds up and has some moments of dark themes. It is planned to be a kingdom building/world building story as well as one revolving around the ‘Hunters genre’ like Solo Leveling but not from the Hunter’s side of the story. Depending on how busy I am, there might be updates once a week or once every two weeks with the chapters being 1500+ words. <<less

Terra has not seen a new Immortal grace its lands for a millennium. During that time, civilisations stagnated, the people decayed and dark undercurrents began circulating.... more>>

When she was born, the winds changed.

Synopsis: Floating in the air just in the middle of Times Square in new york was a strange crack in the air that emitted a strange golden light, set as a perimeter around said crack, were countless US Soldiers, Tanks, Attack Helicopters, and jets flying overhead.... more>>

Suddenly the crack let out a deeper glow for a second as a figure materialized just next to the crack.

It was a man, or what appeared to be a man.

Pale white skin, glowing blue flames where the eyes should be, a strange crowned helmet, long snow white hair, strange armor with a skull molded onto the belt, and knee guards. In the man's hands was a glowing blue long sword with a skull just between the blade and guard.

Suddenly, dozens more figures started appearing around the crack too. Men and women wearing strange armor with decayed skin and missing flesh. They were undead. And each of them had the same blue flame inside their eyes and mouths...

The Lich King and his army have arrived in a new world. <<less

All things began with a single choice, a single desire to break the status quo, a moments decision that caused a war between four beings that still rages across uncountable worlds and universes even now.... more>>

The first amung them wished to create and observe.

The second longed for the endless cycle that had now been shattered.

The third looked upon existence with disgust and wished for it all to return to the void.

The forth desired only for an equilibrium and hoped to stop the complete destruction of the others.

From these clashing ideologies existence itself would split apart and all things were dragged into their never ending struggle. Now I must learn, learn and survive in an omniverse controlled by four warring concepts of unknowable power.

Reborn as a certain parasitic organism I must subjugate and indoctrinate, build my armies of metal and flesh, my endless hordes of monsters and mechanical weapons. I do this all for a simple reason, to protect myself against entities and beings that could wipe me away with a single flick of their wrist. And this isn't even mentioning all the opposition that I may face from those supposedly on my side of this stupid war that I find myself so abruptly pulled into.

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>>

From the windswept steppes to the towering peaks of the Tengr Mountains, Tepr is a realm of contrasts, a mosaic of tribes, each fiercely guarding its identity and territory. While the alliance is a political move, for Naci, it's an opportunity. She doesn't just see a marriage; she sees a stepping stone, a path that might lead her to the ultimate prize: the unification of all the tribes under one banner.

But the path to power is fraught with challenges, and the distant Moukopl empire, perched high in the Tengr mountains, has long held an iron grip over the region. <<less

Report: The Imperium's Vanguard... more>>

Callsign: Demiurge
Unit: 4th Research Division of the Adeptus Psykana

First Entry,
Reporting from the Astorion World.

This expansive world presents an ecosystem teeming with exotic lifeforms hitherto unrecorded within the Imperium's known borders. Of particular interest is the Astorion species, an enigmatic race that transcends our conventional understanding. It is, in essence, a living, breathing world.

Preliminary findings suggest that Astorion is a high-dimensional lifeform, where its very 'body' constitutes its own dimension. As Astorion advances in maturity, it demonstrates an ability to generate additional layers of dimensions, a phenomenon likely attributed to its self-defense mechanisms.

If substantiated, this hypothesis holds profound implications for the Imperium's continuity, mobility and the expansion of lebensraum. Further in-depth examinations and analyses are imperative to comprehending the full extent of the Astorion species' significance.

Karla is a simple girl of simple needs. All she wanted in life is to have fun in peaceful luxury and maybe go on trips and adventures once every year. Destiny says otherwise, and chains her with ever-increasing responsibility. Born as a princess in a highly competitive and ruthless imperial court, it took all her powers and wits just so she can protect herself.... more>>

Her actions to protect those she cared about are perceived by many as her intention to inherit the throne, sinking her deeper into the murky waters of imperial politics. Will she be able to save everyone? Or more importantly, will she manage to be happy while doing so?

“I have no intention at all to become Empress” Karla said with unshakable resolve.

“Why do my most capable children like this? It's like a curse” The emperor shakes his head in dismay.

“Lucius and now you, not even a speck of ambition can be seen.”

Lucius? Karla wondered, her brother received the same treatment too? While she is thinking about that, the emperor proceeds with his complaints.

“My most foolish children, on the other hand, are fighting tooth and nail for the throne.” <<less

Lilith's life had finally settled down; she had gotten married, had kids, moved out, become the interdimensional peacekeeper on behalf of her wife, the creator of their universe, finished acting as the demon lord equivalent, and things were looking like they were finally going to stay relatively quiet for once. Of course, that peace only lasted for a short couple of years, broken by an ominous dream that revealed an inevitable end to the tenuous balance of power in the multiverse. Now, with war looming on the horizon, Lilith, her wife, and their allies must gear their universes up for the future conflict...ensuring Lilith wasn't to see true rest for the next couple thousand years.... more>> style="line-height: 40px;"> Before reading this series, please note that while this is technically a sequel to The New Chimera, I have tried to write it in such a way that someone who has read any of my other series can pretty much get what's going on, but some character backstories won't fully be elaborated on. Furthermore, this series involves the protagonists of my other series as well, and their backstories likewise won't be fully elaborated on. My recommendation is that you are caught up with at least one of those series (or have finished The New Chimera) before reading this, so you have a minimum level of background knowledge, but you do you I guess.

This also takes place well in the future relative to my other series; somewhere in the realm of 60-70 years after The Outlands, and around 3-4 after where Swarming Sovereignty currently is, so please be aware that there will be some inevitable spoilers with regards to those series; while I won't spoil individual events or the like, seeing how they are in the "present" simply has to involve some spoilers with regards to relationships, power levels, etc.

Also note that this also departs from the general theming of my other series in that it is less about "adventure" and personal growth and more about the big picture; this aims to somewhat peel back the curtain and flesh out the general cosmology of my writings, and so it's slower-paced than my other series. This also takes place on the time scale of an Administrator (at the minimum hundreds of years), meaning that there will be timeskips, and sometimes even rather large timeskips, it's just the nature of the beast when it comes to something on this scale. Most of these timeskips will simply be skimming over overly boring or redundant stuff, but just be prepared for them.

Also, Gender Bender/Girls Love themes exist in this story, but they are not the focus. I have tagged this series as such for the purpose of making sure people won't be surprised, but if you are here explicitly for those, be prepared for them to take a backseat to everything else.

I will also write a short foreword that will have slightly more detail on what I consider to be spoilers for my other series, some of my other thoughts, and the like; if you have questions, feel free to ask them there and I will be happy to respond.

This story is also being posted on RoyalRoad and Patreon under the same name I use here. If you're reading anywhere else, it's pirated, so please read on one of Scribblehub/RoyalRoad/Patreon! <<less

One day, I was chosen by a goddess just like my company's asshole boss used to do.... more>>

She sent me to a different world where failures have piled up and is about to end. Her power as a goddess has almost reduced to none so she couldn't give me enough support.

To seek strength is a human instinct. It is birthed by the urge to satisfy human nature. The urge to abuse this strength, too, is in the nature of all humans, suppressed barely by ideals in the form of spiritual mentorship.... more>>

Accordingly, when the road to attaining strength is opened for a meager share of a population, billions must suffer.

For the human civilization of planet Triton, this was a century of self-discovery. For the common man, this was an era of envy. And for the mages blessed by the architects of human civilization, this was a stage to pursue unprecedented glory and power.

It has been 97 years since the humans of planet Triton became conscious of their origin, a mystery spanning beyond their planet, spanning beyond many millennia, waiting to be uncovered in the treacherous sea of stars. The architects have resurfaced, all twelve of them, from the dust left in history by epics and myths.
Beyond the common man's vision, the architects orchestrate their own plans. Beyond the architects' plans lie their common purpose, their hopes and dreams for the all races, every form of life, and all that lies beyond life.

And tonight, a miracle beyond it all has been sparked; a miracle...that may not bring forth fortune, but the shadow of an erased truth; a miracle birthed by brutality and vengeful hunger.
And among all mentors of human instinct, vengeance presents to you your most magnificent self, and to mankind your most abominable form. <<less

The new Frontier. ... more>>

A supposed land mass far beyond the coast of Mundus that supposedly holds all sorts of treasures and wonderous beasts. During the age of discovery, many embarked on the perilous journey to lay claim to the land, with none returning. Some say it was because of the dangers of the unknown seas, while others say they struck it rich and decided to stay. Whatever the truth may be, all agree that the actual state of this ‘imaginary’ land remains ambiguous.

Nally Stenner, the daughter of a mighty Lord who resides in the western region, grew up hearing stories about this wonderous realm. Now profoundly intrigued by its mysteries, she sets out to see the world.
