《the eternal seeker》the beginning ( 01 prologue)

“Here is the Apolo spacecraft for Gaia research Gaia station, landing 3 Km from the ruins registered by 854-C probe, requesting permission to disembark.”
“Here is Gaia Station for Apolo, permission granted. Take care with the exploration Ícaro, we detected a strong interference upon the ruins, we will be without communication when you arrive there.”
“I’m on it, I’ll be fine, over and out”
Looking out of the window I couldn't let of sigh, this desolate planet has a unique charm. Don’t matter what planet I go to, I always get excited, maybe that's why I decided to become an archaeologist. In this space age I always go on different planets to see if I can find traces of something or a civilization but I never expected to find a real ruin in my life, Gaia station is a combination of scientists of the whole union with the objective of exploring the secrets of the universe and news technologies.
One of our probes fell last year on this planet, and with one of the last images taken revealed a monument, anyway, i was sent here to research. My dream always was to be a scientist and work at the Gaia research station, when i was born they gave me the name of Ícaro from greek history and by chance of destiny I was always a child very curious, I spent every night looking at stars, my parents encouraged me to follow this path and more than 40 years later I am here, I realized my dream and I’m about to enter one of the first alien ruins of the history.
I finally arrived, taking all the necessary equipment, releasing the exploration car from the garage, open the exit and drive to the ruins marked on the map. During the trip, doing some tests I realized that it has 3.932 m/s², almost the gravity of Mars with approximately the same atmosphere, it could be a planet very good for a colony in the future, I hope that they let me name it. Coming closer to the monument I realized that they are two huge structures that look like a black horn with about 1.5 km of high each one, my heart flutters just looking it seems like anytime a giant demon mythological will get up and end it all, undoing my reverie, I have to admit that it is magnificent. Approaching what appears to be an entrance, get out of the car, I open the storage and get some more equipment oxygen cylinders, ropes and some devices, arriving at the structure I do an experiment like carbon dating but more complicated to measure the age. When the result is ready my heart goes into shock this has been here for over 70 million years, how is this still standing!!

After sending the data to the ship I enter the structure, it has a little more than 3 meters and takes a corridor, entering on it I turn on my trage flashlight and see a ladder that leads down, I wasted time going down, maybe 20 or 30 minutes until I reached a giant room about 20 meters high and endless, I mark the end of the stairs with a rope and move on, after a few minutes walking I notice several huge cubes scattered with pictures engraved on them. I start recording all this, can be texts from other civilizations, going further ahead I see the biggest cube without engravings or anything just an opening with a meter and a half, not being able to hold my curiosity I bow and enter, inside it, right in the center there is a pillar with a ball and floating on it radiating a light blue light, I was totally attracted to that thing it was like I was hypnotized, one step in front of the other I approached and held out my hand for the ball when I touched it I realized what I had done but it was too late, in less than a second the cube lights up, everything lights up, was the last thing i remembered before blacked out.
. Gaia Station 02/21/3127 Union calendar ... Central monitoring ...
it was just another day in the observation room we had just contacted Apolo we were all excited about this discovery it was going to be a milestone in the history of humanity but suddenly I get a warning
"NOTICE NOTICE we are detecting vast amounts of energy coming from the APOLO SHIP"
"get in touch with the apolo cameras let's see what is causing this" says the director in the room, when the image appeared we were speechless, the alien structures were glowing blue the planet went from red to blue, the probes we sent were picking up signals the whole planet, as if the planet was waking up from a long sleep, and in the blink of an eye everything was gone in a spectacular explosion.

Unknown place of the Union
"President here is the report of what happened and our assumptions"
ALIEN INCIDENT FILE / NUM 9
We captured images from probe 854-C of a possible ruin from another civilization ... We sent one of the best archaeologists to it ....... Suspected that when he entered the ruin he activated some type of energy generator but because of the thousands years that have passed, we believe that it had a defect and exploded, there was no sign of the body or costume found at the site ......
"file it and keep it as a secret level 10"
"yes sir"
watching him close the door the president gave a long sigh and rest in the chair, the union is already going through difficult times it might be better if it stays that way .....

Stilted Waters Edge written by Travis Willier
In the far off Galaxy there is a planet that is 90% water. There are small villages throughout all of the water. These villages were small stilted building's cylinder in shape consisting of two to three levels where people lived a culture based around the water they live above. They pray to fish and monster beings that are said to thrive in the oceans deep. These are ancient people that are descendants of the land; the old ones speak of a Time when men fought over cities and land. Now people pass their time fighting each other over fishing territory and remnants of their distant past. This is their story.
8 190In the Light of His Infernal Fire
"It is said that at the night of Walpurgis, the barrier in between worlds is at its weakest. However, for Kyouko and other Magical Girls at Mitakihara, the situation got out of control much sooner as forces from beyond their universe started to creep in to change their fate forever. Beyond the veil of reality, the Dragon stirs, seeking to increase his growing hoard - not with gold or gems, but with people and worlds. Incubators played with magic and fate for far too long uncontested, and a little Blue Planet may be a new prize in the game." Disclaimer: Puella Magi Madoka Magica crossover with Original Setting.

8 196A World in Chaos
It was supposed to be a regular bus ride home for them. A normal day of returning home from college, but this bus ride will forever change their fates. None of them would ever forget what they saw on that day, an angel and a demon. But it wasn’t just them, the whole world was in chaos. All over the world, monsters, mutants, aliens, demons, and angels were appearing. Mankind was thrown into chaos as more and more of these beings started to appear. This is the story of unlikely encounters between humans and these beings. ****** ****** A World in Chaos is a story about how the modern era slowly begins to change because fantasy-like monsters begin to appear all around the world. The story follows Jude Craven on his journey on how he adapts with his whole world being changed. Jude Craven isn't your ordinary protagonist as he has his own scars and trauma but Jude will grow as he experiences a variety of situations that may or may not put his life in danger.A big focus of this fiction is Jude's interactions with others so there will be some romance, some friendship, but there will also be action. I hope you enjoy reading.
8 135The Head That Wears The Crown
It's a tale as old as time. Boy goes to funeral. Boy gets sucked into a different world. Boy has to lead a settlement. Boy has to lead a settlement? Boy has to lead a settlement. This is a story about that settlement, and some other stuff. Maybe. Disclaimer: Not sure if it qualifies enough for a gore tag. There is a description of someone's death somewhere in this, but I don't think it is descriptive enough to justify a gore tag. Disclaimer part deux: I initially started writing this as background for another story but got so into it I just ended fleshing it out a bit. Disclaimer part tres: People love reading disclaimers don't they? It's why I've included so many. They're just for you. Disclaimer part four: I know, this is getting egregious. You're starting to find it less funny. Just wait till the twentieth disclaimer, it will start being funny again. Disclaimer part five: I'm kidding, this is the last one. I don't promise I'll read every comment or message, but I certainly welcome your feedback. Disclaimer part six: I lied, it wasn't the last one. I wrote this story without breaking it down into chapters. It just goes, that means that the chapter ends when it ends, not when there is a convenient break in the story. That means that it's very annoying for you as a reader since chapters can end mid sentence. Hah! Sucker! Disclaimer part seven: Get ready for slow updates. Who knows when this will continue. Toss it on read later and come back in fifty years. Disclaimer part eight: Cover Photo by Arthur Ogleznev on Unsplash
8 157Crafting the Future (Magic & Tech Crafting)
He built and crafted with all his heart. Whether totemic nature magic, mechanical and alchemical factories, nanomachines, teleporters, alchemy, enchanting, mining, and farming, there were no ends. From the lowly stone age he moved reached levels of technology thought only imaginary and magic which made worlds quake. Things aren’t perfect though. Monsters and beasts fill the world, growing stronger by the day, a malignant force is ever present… And strange, bountiful ruins of all sorts remain scattered throughout the world, abandoned yet maintained by faithful servants. But what mattered most to Joey was the little black cube which not only redefined his worldview, but allowed him to transform the world into something utterly marvellous. The patreon linked to this account is not for this story. This story heavily focuses on crafting progression of both magic and tech, where in something is crafted to unlock a new resource or way to craft something better. Heavily influenced on games with such structure. As there is no backlog, chapter releases will be as written, which hopefully will be once a day but depends on progress made per day.
