《Art of Mortality》Chapter 7: The Nine Paragon World
Advertisement
The world we live in is a star system called the 9 Paragon World in the Paragon Galaxy. There are 9 planets in the star system, named after the 9 Paragons and they are connected by teleportation formations. At the very beginning, only this star system had life in it, and all races and living beings originated from the 9 planets of our world, but there are countless other star systems in this galaxy where there are cultivators because, during the ancient times, very high-level cultivators could leave their planets and fly through space, crossing their own star system and reach other star systems. So, they left this world and were slowly scattered throughout the galaxy, then the entire universe. They took over all the empty planets that had signs of qi, created bases and colonies of their own. Now, billions and billions of planets across the universe have cultivators living in them. Although, only those with enough power can travel to other planets except the ones belonging to their own star systems.
The 9 planets in our Paragon world are ruled by the 9 Major races, and there are hundreds of minor races. The 9 major races became the 9 ruling races cause each race had at least one peerless cultivator building the foundation and paving the way for them. They are considered the forefathers of their races. We, humans, are weak by constitution and don't have anything magical or special about us, but the reason we can stand among the 9 races is due to the First Paragon. He is the one who created today's cultivation realms which were most suitable for humans.
In ancient times, the cultivation realms were divided as Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, and so on. Cultivation of that time period was heavily dependent on pills and other resources. Breaking through the next realms was difficult, and the limit of cultivation realms was not that high. The peak cultivation realm of the ancient times wasn't high enough according to the First Paragon, and it also didn't especially suit humans. So, 100 Billion years ago, he came up with his own cultivation method and cultivation realms. Finally, he reached beyond the peak of cultivation of the ancient times and lead the human race to glory during his lifetime.

But the other races aren't weak, and they are heavenly gifted from birth, and they also have a history far older than humans. The Second Paragon came from the Demon race, and lead the demon race to victory. All the other races had to bow to the demons during the era of the Second Paragon. Humans had to suffer the most, as the Second Paragon hated humans the most and enjoyed torturing and killing them.
Then, when the era of the Second Paragon ended, all the other races remembered the humiliation they suffered, and became competitive, cultivating many talented individuals but finally, the Giant Race were the lucky ones, as a peerless Giant rose among them, and became the Third Paragon. The giant race already was strong enough due to their size and physical constitution, and having the Third Paragon was like giving wings to a tiger, they became very dominating and overbearing. But nothing lasts forever, and when the giants' era ended, another peerless being arose, This time, it was from the Angel Race. The Angel Race was arrogant by nature and they considered themselves as Holy Beings. With the aid of the Fourth Paragon, they ruled over and treated the other races like servents. Well, nothing can last after billions of years and even immortals would run out of their immortality. After the era of the Fourth Paragon ended, every race was trying to enrich its foundation. Finally, the Fifth Paragon appeared among the Spirit Beasts. Before that, spirit beasts were hunted like prey for their beast core and other body parts, also for mounts. But the FIfth Paragon lead all the spirit beasts to glory and freedom.
After that era, The Elf and Dark Elf races became the two most powerful competitors, Finally, the Elves succeeded first, followed by the dark elves. The Sixth Paragon lead the Elves and after his era, the Seventh Paragon lead the Dark Elves. In the end, it turned out that the calm and quiet Spirit Race was the one to have the Eighth Paragon. But, the Spirit race wasn't much interested in conquering and ruling. They just built their own foundation and became one of the most powerful among the 9 major races, as they used to be a minor race before.

The Elemental race was almost successful in ruling the next era, but the demon race and dark elf race co-operated to wipe out the Elemental race to the last person. Unknown to Everyone, a half-elemental survived among humans, and with his half-human origin, the Ninth Paragon appeared from the human race, giving the human race a blessing of two paragons and breaking the balance. The human race was lead back to their glory, and adding up the foundation the First Paragon had already built up for us humans, we are now at the best of our times.
But it isn't always a good thing. Now, the other races are eyeing us and planning to co-operate to wipe us out. They specifically want to wipe out the human race from our Nine Paragon World. Although all the races are now scattered throughout the universe, and the universe has countless galaxies with the human race in them, with most of them having far more powerful human cultivators then this old and ancient Nine Paragon World, as the all previous paragons rose from within the Nine Paragon World, they believe that the next Paragon will also arise from here.

Tale of a Cruel World
A world where civilization is worthless and the meanderings of the wild bend humanity to its knees. This the tale of a cruel world, seemingly destined never to find peace. Through calamity after catastrophe, through silence and storm, its people have survived. Though, soon the final calamity will come. A clone of the strongest, most feared mage, Calamitas, bioengineered to only feel 'positive' emotions, and an ordinary hunter fighting to protect his dying sister begin their journey with a wish to rid a city of plaguebrought strife. (This is based on the Calamity Mod for Terraria, but should be perfectly readable to any normal viewers. To make its universe into a living, breathing place requires liberties enough to make this almost 'my own' world, so keep in mind that this isn't a very 'conventional' fanfiction(or maybe it is, I don't actually know the conventions).)
