Journey West 5000 Fantasy Sci-fi Action Adventure
Struggling to track down her enemy while braving the dangers of the wilds, she enlists the help of Sun Wukong, but 500 years under a mountain have taken its toll. Unstable and weakened, will he be more hindrance than help? Can he become the warrior he once was?
A Monk and a Monkey journey across a world...
... where the remnants of technology are seen as magic, while pockets of humanity strive to drag themselves out of ignorance.
... where the descendants of animal-human hybrids, once created as instruments of war, now seek to dominate the world as demons.
... where beings who call themselves Immortals and Gods preoccupy themselves with selfish pastimes, ignoring everything else. Among other things, a story about growth, grit, and being better than the person you were yesterday. Here's my rambling on why I'm writing Journey West 5000.
Journey West 5000 is my crazy ambitious writing project to adapt a classic epic called "Journey to the West" for a global, modern audience. It's a sci-fi story disguised as fantasy, and has some road trip + monster of the week elements (as does the original Journey to the West).
No system, definitely no harem, gradual power progression. Hmm, what else can I put here so potential readers know what to expect?
My writing style for now is mostly "show don't tell", because I believe that readers don't need to have everything pointed out to them, and that they should be allowed to make up their own minds about characters based on the actions of those characters. I'm also trying to be less long-winded (a weakness pointed out by some friends) in order to write according to something Neil Gaiman said, which is to write as though I'm the one who has to pay for every word, not the reader. This will bring down my chapter word counts, and might drive away potential readers, but I believe there's value in learning to compress and be concise. All chapters posted here will have been edited.
Constructive criticism, comments, and feedback would be very much welcome and appreciated. Please, please help point out any typos or grammatical mistakes, I'm striving to minimize those as much as possible.
Above all, I hope you enjoy my story.

Apocalypse on Endless Earths: Apocalypse How? A LITRPG Adventure
Declan Mason is just an average guy who is about to pop the question to the woman he loves more than anything when his whole world gets turned upside down. No, that's not right, it gets crushed, pulped, eviscerated, and apocalypsed to hell before he even realizes what is happening. He suddenly finds himself working for an Extradimensional Entity that has tasked him with committing genocide on a daily basis. As Declan's new job, it seems, consists solely of him eliminating alternate versions of his Earth. Not content to just destroy, he vows to save the woman he loves one planet at a time. Soon, he's up to his armpits in doppelgangers of his dearie, and he starts to get a clue as to why he has to destroy each world. Just to complicate matters the Horseman, the person who held his station prior to Declan taking over, has decided it is up to him to stop the Entity's murder spree and has placed Declan in his cross-hairs. Apocalypse on Endless Earth's is seriously silly and actively adventurous. Can one man learn to destroy numerous worlds in new and creative ways while simultaneously saving copies of the woman he loves? Find out!
8 240Sona, A Goddess Queen in a Modern World.
In an infinite universe, millions of beings cultivate to attain supremacy. Some with good fortune has reached the rank of God Earl after a few millennia, others have not even reached the rank of God. Sona, with no memory of her parents, was abandoned in an adoption home accompanied by a strange musical instrument. The caretakers tried to sell it, but the strange instrument always appeared again somehow. After many years, people who thought she was just a quiet child discovered that she was not capable of producing any sound. With this deficiency, Sona studied the strange instrument with the help of her foster mother and invented a new way to cultivate. Becoming the Goddess Queen of Music, Sona achieved enough strength to destroy planets with only one musical note. But to her disappointment, she could never become a God Empress. After a disaster caused by the struggle of the two most powerful beings in the universe, Sona died and was transported to the body of a young teenage girl on modern earth. How will Sona use knowledge as the Goddess Queen of Music and one of the most powerful goddesses of the universe in this new body that now doesn't stop her from speaking?
