“Do you want to try the tutorial? The tutorial will teach you the basics of your new world!
“Skip please.”
” Very well traveller”. The cute little girl made a light bow and snapped her fingers. The sound produced had an effect on the surrounding as everything began to blur.
‘What is going on?’ while Ryu was immersed in his thoughts, he noticed that the little girl was nowhere visible “Huh!! Where did she…….” before he could complete his sentence. The ground beneath him disappeared. Ryu panicked. He was now falling into a bottomless tunnel, at least that is how he felt. Fear began enveloping him. His normally smart brain had already forgotten the fact that everything around him was virtual.
‘Somebody help’. He was about to shout these words when he suddenly stopped falling. He could now feel a solid object beneath his feet. He opened his eyes to see what it was, and was delighted to see a ground covered with lush and green grass.
“I am never ever leaving you again” shouted Ryu, now lying down and hugging the ground rubbing his face on it. If he were to be seen by somebody else they would have surely taken him for freak.
Ryu got up on his legs after the excitement of ground faded away. His brain was back in function. He realized that the world around him was a game created world. He could not believe his own eyes. Surrounding him was a green and beautiful world; he could feel the wind, the sun’s rays, and the trees shade. While he was busy enjoying his new world, Ryu was disturbed by a strange sound and the appearance of some texted box in front of his eyes.
‘Trrrng’
Greetings Traveller!!! You have been reborn!!! A journey of adventure awaits you!!! Will you succeed in your path or fall prey to other’s will??? May the dragon god’s light fall up on you.

‘Sweet! What is this turn of events? Am I a blessed creature?’ Shiv started laughing, more like roaring. He knew the importance of stats in this world. The online forums had stressed on the advantage of high stats and high levels. He was still laughing menacingly when he felt an acute pain on his right hand.
He lifted his hands to check the cause of the pain and was flabbergasted by what he saw. His right hand was glowing dimly; something was accumulating on the upper side of his hand stretching till his elbow.

‘What the heck! Am I dreaming? Is this some kind of prank?’ Shiv was now skeptical. He had just started and already received so many bonuses. ‘It’s not like I don’t want them, well whatever’.
‘Maybe I should check out my status once. Now how was it’, “err, open status bar”

‘Awesome. I’m the man’, Shiv admired himself. He then started looking around and something grabbed his attention.
‘Wow! What is that?’ a little close to where Shiv was, a disturbingly tall building could be seen. The building appeared black, in fact too black. It had an eerie feel to it and Shiv felt a ‘do not come near’ kind of aura from the building. ‘Is that a tomb or something? Maybe this is why there are no monsters nearby’. He had been wondering why he had not been attacked yet, he knew that at his present condition he was easy prey.’ Well I don’t see any other buildings around, guess I might as well pay it a visit’.
Shiv idly began walking on the paved road, towards the mysterious building in front.

“The gods have sent their chosen one, Gehambel” spoke an old woman.
“Not yet oh great Briskol, sage of the twilight” spoke an old man with a large stature.
“I agree. He must prove himself. He must know true evil and despair and then pass the test”, a much younger person spoke, but the voice was that of a lady.
“Very well. We shall wait”, replied Briskol.
The three were gazing at a small pool and in that clear liquid Shiv’s face was being reflected.

Aurora: Apocalypse
Currently participating in the April 2022 Royal Road Writeathon. This fiction will resume in May 2022 When Methuselah’s star explodes, the world burns under the impact of an extinction level event. Emmett Carter just wants one thing - to gather his family at the farm and keep them safe. Rated [M] for Mature Audiences. Contains Alcohol use, Drug use, Gore, Profanity, Smoking, Violence.Rated [D] for Drama. Contains emotional themes, interpersonal relationships, and character development. Author's note: You are reading a first draft, written mostly while drinking cheap whiskey. Expect it to read like hot garbage and I guarantee that it’ll meet your expectations. I’m a storyteller, not a writer - there’s a huge difference between the two professions. IMPORTANT! This story is told in a first-person limited, conversational style, with Emmett occasionally breaking the 4th wall and addressing the reader directly. This means that YOU and Emmett may have absolutely no idea why stuff is happening, because there will be little or no exposition or other POV's. Read the comments for spoilers, ask questions if you want to know something.This work incorporates blended aspects of Xianxia, Wuxia, Super powers, and Western Magic into a post-apocalyptic fantasy adventure. It is none of those things and all those things, mashed together. The MC is Over Powered, but so are many, many others. He just hasn't met them yet. Dear Student, What follows is an adaption of the diary of Emmett Carter before his Ascension. While the decades during and after the Aurora Apocalypse are lost to us, the Ascended himself has allowed us to publish this work so long as we warn the reader that it may not be entirely accurate or present an unbiased viewpoint of the events. One should also note that the Aurora was in flux during that time and some things that were possible in the early days are no longer possible, especially with the advent of the Akashic record. Editors have included footnotes when possible to explain pre-aurora technologies or concepts and how they relate to current magical technologies. The contents of this work may upset readers. If you’ve ever been in a natural disaster, had a house fire, witnessed a murder, lost a loved one to violence, or have a strong opinion on the sanctity of life, please do not read this. It contains dramatic scenes of a world in the throes of an apocalyptic event. There are no rainbows and unicorns, only loss, uncertainty, and death while the survivors struggle to rebuild their lives. Updates Thursdays and Sundays for now. Word count is about 2000 ~ 4000ish per chappie.

Heavenly Rebirth - The Martial Hero's Journey
Martial Warriors battle it out in forests, destroying trees in single punches and kicks, uprooting them with ease. There is a world hidden underneath the mundane realm of mortals, one where martial prowess is everything, and living and dying by the edge of one's blade is natural. This world... is being threatened. Enter Kang Yilan, a seventeen-year-old convict sentenced to life, whiling away her days mining ores in the southern mountains when she happens upon a fateful encounter. Read as she embarks on a journey that will change her life, and the lives of millions of others, forever. NaNoWriMo challenge :D and [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Some magic elements are borrowed from Savage Divinity and a handful of other good wuxia/xianxia stories, but the story itself is pretty original if I do say so myself. If you feel bothered by my borrowing elements from other magic systems, a) I'm not making money off of this... yet, and b) almost all Xianxia copy each other. This one, at least, has direction where other xianxia don't.

Multiverse of Marvel
-------------- "Let's leave my origins. We both have unspeakable origins. But the problem is I know of your origins. Galan of Taa." John said. Galactus' eyes squinted as John said his real name out loud. He never expected someone totally out of nowhere knew his actual name. "Never expected an unknown guy would know my origins. So what of it? I don't think it matters where I came from." Galactus replied. "It doesn't. You did what you had to do to survive. But the problem is you made a deal with the devil." John replied. Galactus looked at John with more stoic eyes now. He had done many things in the past and he made many bad decisions. He just wasn't sure what John was referring to so he was silent. John seeing that Galactus was silent and refused to speak said "Black Winter is coming." -------------When a cinephile and an otaku/weeb travels through dimensions and gets a system which can only be described as overpowered but comes with restrictions. At first he was overjoyed with the system but soon realizes that he is in a very dangerous world where his life was at risk all the time. (There will be no change in the canon until the New York War ends) Disclaimer : I am not an economist so I might have done some mistakes in the economics section of the story. If you have suggestions to make it better you can leave in the comments. Warning - The MC won't be OP from the start itself and will grow to a powerful character in due time. The starting feels a bit odd because I am totally new to writing a novel and I don't have an editor so the conversations and descriptions might be little stiff. I have been trying to improve. The romance in the story is very little and I understand that its badly written. I am sorry about that but no need to worry. It doesn't have any effect in the story. The story is assumed on the fact that the reader at least knows the plot of Marvel movies and some popular animes. All the other elements are explained as much as possible. P.S. This story is based on pure Marvel Multiverse
