《ROACH- rising pestilence》Whispers of legends

He dreamed, he dreamed of far worlds, he saw mountains of charred stone and glass, he saw endless valleys and chasms, he saw pathetic unhappy worms that looked unbearably miserable, the tiny meaningless microbes cried out, their hearts in pain and desperation, something about the creatures cries drew him in and suddenly he understood the creature's misery, it was alone, so dreadfully alone, crying out for someone to embrace it.
Touched, he knew pity and absently reached out to the pathetic lifeform, the pathetic creature cut off from true happiness was overjoyed when it came to know him, to feel his warm embrace, his presence shrouding the creature in his comfort.
Gibbering and making expressions of exultation, the creature fell to its knees, spouting more pointless dribble before running off, leaving him alone.
He did not move, full well knowing the creature would return.
Before long, many more of the same type of lesser creature appeared before him, each becoming quiet and awed at the sight of him, seeing the first creature he had touched with his presence, he understood something.
They needed him, they needed power, and he could provide it...
Reaching out once more he tapped deep into the first creature, communicating his desires and will.
It was almost too much for the pitiful creature to comprehend but it managed to weather the test of endurance, understanding dawning in its otherwise dim expression, the creature turned and gabbled in a high pitched voice something that seemed to excite and relieve the surrounding creatures.
All turning towards him, every single piteous monkey fell to their knees and bowed towards his mighty form, calling out phrases that meant nothing to him but were surely praise.
They had accepted his offer and he would keep his promise... for now, at least.
The weak beings were the first of many to make this same deal, they praised him, they desired him, they worshipped him.

And he, in turn, offered his comforting presence, his wisdom, and his power, soon the graceless monkeys sworn to him were many.
The monkeys wishing to feel his grace and smile upon them offered him sacrifice, the sacrifices were delectable and pleased him, his dreams becoming very sweet and deep, the sacrifices being sent to his growing domain, his new place of rest, his sanctuary offered to him by grateful microbes.
Dreams deep and sweet, his wandering vast mind encased the entire world, gathering the yet joyless and uninspired monkeys under him, they too needed his joy, his influence.
But something went wrong, his presence? his love? It was rejected... Not all of the microbes embraced him, how!? How could these sad creatures reject his love? his compassion?
His dream turning bitter, his wrath bearing its ugly head.
"THOSE WHO REFUSE MINE LOVE ARE UNWORTHY OF IT, TREMBLE AND FALL, WITHER AWAY UNDER MINE RAGE! YOU FAITHLESS MONKEYS!"
Minds shattered and splintered as an ancient power stirred, its displeasure spreading fear and awe in equal parts.
The lost one was awake and the whole world soon knew its anger.

When there are world shattering discoveries on the moon, agencies working in the dark see infinite opportunities. When one engineer from the lower classes breaks through the societal mold, repercussions follow. The chain of events his incarceration began will affect the entire solar system, if not the universe.

8 89Will You Be Alone? After The End? Don't You Know We're All Still Here?
More than a century ago the world was devastated, but that doesn't matter. Nobody cares about the past, stories from that time are as wildly conflicting as they are ridiculous--when any stories exist at all. There are problems in the here and now that need to be dealt with, bringing the past into things isn't going to help anyone. The fact is that young people all over the world are developing mysterious powers, and the public reactions to these powers are far from positive. Fair enough, you might say. Who wants a young man around who can conjure heat from the palm of his hand? How deeply undesirable is a girl who can bend your emotions to her will? What use, I ask you, is a girl whose very essence crackles with lightning? No use at all, I'd say. As for this so-called Mr Fin and his grand ideals, well, all I can say is that his clothing is of better quality than his plans. Vague allusions to a 'sanctuary' and a 'mysterious and powerful statue' are all very well, but when it comes to solid results I fear you may find him somewhat lacking. Mark my words and mark them well, following one such as him will only lead to tears. All in all, I'd say there's not much you could reasonably expect from a world such as this. Conflict, perhaps. Hardship, certainly. Despair, heartache, loss... ...hope? No, don't be ridiculous. Where could one find hope, in this ruin of an existence? Honestly, I am asking. Where?Discord

8 173The Wu Clan's Rise: Legends of the twin dragons
The Immortal Domain is a vast cosmos consisting of the Upper Realm and the Lower Realms, both of which are controlled by the Three Great Families, the Wang family, the Lui family, and the Xue family. Each one of them holds an immense amount of power that could overturn the heavens, reverse yin and yang and change the fate of anyone or anything in the Immortal Domain as they see fit. But, with all of that being said, our story doesn't start from those ancient overpowered families in the Upper Realm, it starts from one of the countless fragmented Lower Realms, called the Wither Daemon Realm, in which there was a planet named Daiyu. On this planet, heavenly prodigies that were born with one of the thirty, rare Legendary Physiques were starting to pop up like common weeds. Longwei, born into the Wu Clan while in possession of the third rank Legendary Physique, was known as one of the six monster-level geniuses on planet Daiyu. His brother Longmin on the other hand, though was a genius in his own right, had faded into obscurity since his birth and was shunned by his own father after a certain ‘incident’. This story is the supposed legends of two dragons, who, through a journey of bloodshed and betrayal led their clan to unify the Immortal Domain and stand above trillions as the highest existence. ******* If you lovely readers can't be bothered to use your eyes, you can join my Patreon and get to stream my audio chapters like everyone else. https://www.patreon.com/TSETH Discord: https://discord.gg/tEdkhmrj5g
