She wanted the strongest, and got the strongest. She got armies from three separate countries, and has forced upon them a mission of no return. Literally. Like they can't return to earth unless they complete it.

Without any governments, the armies are left to fend for themselves with a large amount of bullets, tanks, planes, and ships.

This story will have a large amount of characterization and slice of life moments. I did an insane amount of research for this and poured so much time in, not just militarily, but other basic necessity things as well. Fights will be bloody, magic will be rampant, and the slice of life moments will just warm you to the core. (actual kingdom building)

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?

The Queen of the Varra was not a denizen of Imera. Her people were already dead, and she was the last of her kind. When she used the last of her energy to find a suitable vessel, she found Dara dying at the hands of her father. This was the perfect opportunity.

'Daughter. I have come for you.' Like a demon's voice, she spoke to Dara. 'Eat the seed, and gain great strength.' Without a second thought, Dara swallowed the seed that appeared in her hand.

For the queen, it was salvation for her people. For Dara, that voice was the gentlest tone that has ever been aimed at her. Once that seed entered her belly, she became that voice's true daughter.

In the dark, the Eyeless find strength. In the darkness that they can create, the Eyeless can and will thrive.

This is a rewrite of the original story, and new chapters will be added as they are written. It will take a while, as I have too many projects on the go. The world will be better explained, but at the same time, not all at once. Don't read the first chapter and expect all the answers.

Special note - There is violence, sadism, sex, and sex against one's will. There will be murder, intrigue, gods and goddesses, with a female MC who is not cute and cuddly like some. She is strong and smart, but with a beauty that can terrify those who try to bring her harm. <<less

The new cosmic tree has been planted.... more>>

‘True was the cosmic tree beacon to protect and champion all the beauty of the stars. I know some will call me naïve, but I sincerely believe in that light.’

Unfortunately, not everyone likes omnipresent walking nukes playing bodyguards to humpback whales and starry-eyed kids with dreams to cure cancer. Facing the possibility of challenges, scum and villains from across the Astral Sea decide it is now or never to pave their brutal reign.

With the peaceful illusion out the windows, chaos inevitably knocked on the door.

Caught in the crossfire of the multiversal crisis, the Earth is shoved up the Astral Sea to meet its new neighbors—a grim escalator to a time bomb.

Considering this escalation, True's response is simple: first train the two schmucks from the planet Earth and build the taskforce to forklift those scums and villains down the comical mass grave.

One way or another—be it Earth’s prided capitalism, fusion-powered satellite laser, or their homegrown outer gods — the Order of True shall prove good is not toothless

===========================================

What to expect in this story:
What to expect in this story:
1. A slow, classic progressive fantasy narrative that focuses not only on the characters but also on the intricacies of magic, spells, and the individuals who practice them.

2. No blue boxes.

3. The main character, while deeply passionate about magic and the mystic arts, struggles with her own inability to wield it. She possesses a vast knowledge of magic trivia and learns to control her anxiety over time in order to prevent her habitual impulsive actions.

4. MC is "Scottish" (inspired) so expect some of the dialects and the foreign terms as part of the world-building. But along the way, the dialect will be reduced along with MC travelling outside her hometown. The translations for these terms will be provided in a dedicated glossary in the first entry. Feel free to share your feedback regarding any terms that may have been overlooked.

Aloha, and welcome to The Garden.
My name is Bagheera and I’m the narrator.

These stories are all “fictional”,
so there’s no need to go around
insisting that the people, places and events
described here are “real”
like the mythical Russian mystic ~ Anastasia;
even if you feel particularly moved by them.

Regardless of their purely coincidental
similarity to any real person or situation,
these stories have an explicit purpose,
which does not hinge upon whether or not
they can be verified by historical record.

The purpose of these stories is to illustrate
ways of living and being that differ greatly
from those to which humanity
~ in the so-called “developed”
and allegedly “civilized” world ~
has grown accustomed.

The heroes in these tales are simply
Men and Women who have discovered
~ and moved into alignment with ~
The Laws of Nature.

Through communion with this Cosmic Law,
and devoted Service to All Life,
they have brought peace
to their lives and to their world.

My intent in sharing these stories
is that they may inspire you
as they have inspired me:

“To Learn and Grow Stronger,
All Ways and Eternally.”

~ Blessings. ~ <<less

Soune Argent wants a quiet life.... more>>

However, such a privilege is rare on Durendel.

Pockets of civilisation are kept in check by growth-hungry corporations and a stern-handed government. Any and all actions are watched by an orbital ring ready to stifle conflicts before they can start, scouring outcasts and undesirables from the face of the scarred planet. All for the sake of maintaining peace.

Soune Argent is a victim of this peace. Narrowly saved from the destruction of her home as a child, she was raised in and taught to survive the chaotic lands that litter the world. Now alone once more, she seeks to claim a spot for herself within an Oasis' and finally live a life free from struggle. The path to peace is hardly a straight one, fraught with conflicts and conspiracy. Along the way, Soune discovers she isn't quite as alone as she thought, or that the history of the world is as straightforward as it seems.

To survive on Durendel is a struggle, to thrive even moreso. To be happy is a fight against the system, a fight worth picking.

Inspired by a myriad of settings and stories spanning from the peaks of high fantasy and sci-fi to low, grounded character driven dramas; Stray Stars blends dark fantasy elements into a conflict-fueled future, focusing on the people who struggle against that world and the connections that are forged from it. <<less

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
