《Returning to a New Era》1. A different Earth
Advertisement
As the salty taste of the wind entered his mouth, he stood there buck naked, thinking, “Where am I?”
[Jeju Island Dungeon Entrance]
A hologram-esque panel appeared before him to inform him of his location.
“Jeju Island? That explains a lot. Last time I remember, I drowned around, there, and was
brought to Astralius.”
He was not hit by a truck, neither was he summoned; he arrived at the other world in his trunks after having his lungs filled with seawater.
Looking around, he found something odd about the place. Jeju Island was supposed to be a tourist spot filled with life, but as he turned his back against the waters, he saw what used to be establishments and found mere rubbles.
The rest houses, the stalls, all of it were destroyed. The place was in ruins. There was no life in sight, not even a drunk tourist.
“So…what happened here? Did, um…West, no, North? Yeah, it should be North. Did North Korea go to war with the South? A Nuclear bomb, perhaps? But more importantly, Dungeon?”
A strange concept was added in this world.
“Now that I think about it, a panel appeared before me just now.” A weird phenomenon that’s only supposed to happen in Astralius. He was so used to seeing them that it took a while to register what just happened, “Dungeons, System Assist, all that didn’t disappear when I came back?”
Most people would have been thrown into a panic. Thankfully, he had been in much worst situations before.
[Inventory]
Five Rows and five columns created 50 perfect empty squares. In the first square, there was a Diamond Card.
With but a thought, the card appeared in his hand.
Item: [email protected]!#[email protected]# [????]
Consumable
Effect: Class Roulette
Uses Remaining: 1/1

“Remnant? I can’t even see the Rank of this item. Is it too high of a level for me? That doesn’t make sense, though.”
He had so many questions, but moments after he brought it out, the Remnant turned to glowing dust particles that entered his body.
“What the!?” he was taken aback. This was a first even for him.
With its disappearance came a panel as a replacement. The seven-inch long panel had several words like [Berserker], [King], [Demon Revitalizer], [Spirit Caller], and the like listed.
“Is this a joke? What’s with these Classes?” he didn’t get an answer in the form of a panel or voice, “Let me first check my status…also nothing, huh? Too many questions, but so little answer.”
START
He pressed the glaring prompt on the bottom of the panel, and the list started to circle like crazy like a roulette.
For the first ten seconds, the roulette was moving fast. He could barely catch a glimpse of the listed Classes. But soon after, the list slowed down to a reasonable speed.
“[Pugilist], [Chef], [Grave Buster], oh, there’s even an [Monster Tamer]. So, one of these will become my Class this time? Last time I was given the Berserker Class, so, what about this
time?”
After seeing the roulette, he didn’t need any further explanation. This so-called Remnant was his. All these Classes were either claimed by him or something he rejected.
‘It’s a surprise it’s even included. A [War God]? I don’t want that.’
DING! DING! DING! DING!
[Astral Page]
‘Astral Page? That’s new, I don’t I’ve met anyone with such a Class.’
[Astral Page]
One Page for each Category Monster – Entrap the soul of a Daemon in this Page. That Monster will be granted a body before its demise and it will become your most trustworthy Ally. Skill – Bind a Skill in this Page. The skill you can bind in this page can either be something taught to you by a Teaching Class, Inherited from a Dying Master/Companion, or from a Skill Rune. (Note: as long as this Page is left empty, the higher the Chance a Skill Rune will be dropped.)

A screen populated with information appeared before him. It was a pleasant surprise reading the skills. But something else caught his attention. At the bottom of the screen, a teeny-weeny note almost missed his eyes.
Note: The Pages can be increased; the bound Skills and Monsters will also evolve.
‘Interesting.’
Everyone can learn as much skill as they want as long as it was in their class range. A [Druid] can learn the Skull Bash skill of a Paladin as both Classes uses staves.
However, there were limitations, like how a Water Mage cannot learn a Fire Mage’s Skill unless he gains recognition and becomes a Fire Mage.
The class system held various kinds of mystery, but it was also restricted. However, this Astral Page was different.
‘Other Classes have no limits to the number of skills they could learn. One could have thousands of skills in a Single Class as long as it was in the scope of their Class. But this one is different.’
Astral Page was different. It restricted the number of skills he could learn; in return, it could be evolved to a stronger skill.
He was amused.
‘Enough of that, let’s see, Status.’
Ashe Zhang
Race: [email protected]##@$ #!!! Error → Human
Title: @#[email protected]#%$#! Error → Cataclysm [Eternal Stigma]
Class: Astral Page (Level: 1)
Class Skill:
Page Skill: NONE
Page Monster: NONE
‘I’m human again, that’s nice…but I guess the Eternal Stigma status won’t be going away any time soon.’
Ashe couldn’t do anything about that, ‘Its effects were also pretty good, so why not keep it?’
Thus, his title of being the Cataclysm was accepted without much thought.
“More importantly, I need to get out of this Dungeon. I’m human here, that means I can restart my life.”
Ashe turned his back to the raging ocean. If this really was a Dungeon, then it would be best to scout the area and see if he could take care of the Monster inside.
Besides, he also wanted to get a pet and skill.

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)

Unbind
There is no rhyme or reason to the flow of life. Cora knows this better than anyone, a normal suburban girl living on the edge of a major city.

But as she wanders through worlds and becomes part of a system unimaginably greater than herself, she realizes that returning home isn’t as simple as it seems... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The warning tags are added because there is a high potential of the content warned about occurring in several chapters. They are not meant to be the explicit focus of Unbind, but they will be recurring elements, albeit with scarce frequency. As a warning, there will be a note added before a chapter should it contain mature content. Updates will be posted every Sunday. As a fledgling writer, I appreciate any commentary!
