History
The world of Hazard Lands Revenge takes place in the year 2043. It is set in a futuristic timeline of Earth, and its prior history. I won’t be referring too much to the past and present (2015), due to my horrible grasp in our history, but there will be similarities between this novel and our world.
For the chronology, the novel goes from historical to sci-fi in July 3, 2021, when the Third World War was initiated by all of the superpowers in the world, mainly those in Europe, Asia, the Americas and the Eastern Countries, India and other powers. This was due to the amount of people that the Earth has been holding, an astonishing thirteen billion population. This was clearly over the limit that the world was able to handle.
Pollution was rampant, and the countries could not easily stop it. To stop this amazing growth in population, the previous countries I stated earlier waged war against each other. North and South America, and Europe created an alliance, being the World Nations’, Asia created the E.L.E.C State (Entire Last Endurance Coalition State) and the Eastern Countries created the Frozin Empire. As for the neutral countries, such as the Antarctic Alliance, founded in 2019 or the Philippines, they were easily absorbed by the three new Superpowers.
And so, in 2021, the three of them initiated a large scale war, which lasted for three years, ending in October 25, 2024. As for the results of the war, World Nations and the E.L.E.C State created a peace treaty, while the Frozin Empire remained hostile. The war had taken five billion lives, of both soldiers and civilian, as the Third World War did not accept the Geneva Convention as a basis for its ethics. It was a wild and rampant massacre.
In exchange however, as most wars had, the Third World War brought about many new innovations that people before the war could not even begin to imagine. Advanced medical treatments were developed, allowing soldiers who have just been ravaged by lead and metal recover at an almost impossible rate. Cities became the most secure strongholds as the military had build fortresses and metal walls around them. What brought about a much bigger change was the introduction of Mystics.
Mystics were actually introduced even before the war, but they were not as well known until they showed their powers in the middle of it. Waves upon waves of destruction destroyed armies, and flattened cities. In the Descent of 2020, numerous people, soldiers and citizens alike were touched by the hands of Mysticism and developed to become powerful forces. Aside from the World Nations, who saw their potential as a special troop, the E.L.E.C State and the Frozin Empire thought of it as heresy and as witchcraft. The World Nations were included as well, but after having had massacred 95% of the Mystics that they have found, they saw uses and thus recruited those who remained alive. The E.L.E.C State and Frozin Empire did not stop, and so their military were not able to generate a division of Mystics.

Along with the Descent of 2020, another event had occurred at the same time: the Scroll of Larac. At first, not many paid attention to it, due to the outrageous events that it portrays inside of its writing, yet many could not avoid but to carefully study it as well. Their instinct to study the scroll was correct, as the Scroll does not feature plain fiction, but shows events that happen in the future. It had predicted the Massacre of Mystics, the Third World War and its ending, and to the present, the Blood Rain. Only three copies have ever been found, one in the World Nations, one in the E.L.E.C State and one in the Frozin Empire.
A hidden side was hidden in the Descent of 2020 however. Only an exceptionally small collection of people knew of the hidden agenda, but there were still some. The Descent of 2020 did not intentionally create Mystics or even drop the Scroll of Larac onto the world. No. It truly was the Descent. The Descent of Gods and Demons. From the Abyss and from the Light, these supernatural beings were introduced to the world. They were then sealed inside multiple people along with those who became Mystics. Though the Mystics were given signs of being turned, those who had these beings sealed inside of them were not shown anything.
From then on, after the end of the Third World War, October 25, 2024 to the present October, 2043, the world was set to peace. Though the three Superpowers continued to have scrims every few months, no major battles were held. Due to this, the population continued to grow at an even more expanded rate due to the medical practices developed during the war. Now, the world barely contains a population of fifteen million people. This number was officially broken in September 28, 2043, which signaled the beginning of the Blood Rain.
The Blood Rain had first appeared on the Antarctic Continent, from an unknown origin. The people who lived in the Antarctic Alliance were quickly turned into mutated humanoids and now wander around the frozen wasteland, looking for prey. Soon, the Blood Rain had continued to spread at a steady rate, covering the entire globe in measly twenty one days. After it had fully covered the world, the animals, plants, humanoids and other mutated types were forced into a berserk state, attacking all the strongholds that the humans have held to this day.
Now, on October 19, Monday, humanity was sent into one of the Seven Tribulations it has to face.
Mysticism
Black Hole (High) – A high level Mystic that summons a black hole that temporarily sucks in all sorts of matter with an astonishing force. It first covers the user or users with a force field that will not be affect by the suction the slightest bit. The black hole will first appear and expand at a slow rate, and once it reaches its max, the hole will shrink and disperse. If the user or users use up their lives, the black hole will once again rip through space and expand at a much faster rate, using the matter it had absorbed prior as fuel.
Chant
I [We] am [are] the one [nine] who sacrifice(s).
I [We] cannot destroy but I [we] can empty.
I [We] will let go and find the Abyss.
The Will of the Ancients reigns supreme.
Let me [us] bring the end.
Adamant Prison (Medium) – A Mystic spell that summons the chains that bound the one who holds the World, Atlas. Each chain is as powerful as adamantine, but can only reach out from ten feet, before running out of chain links. Though these chains are difficult to destroy, they do not have a long life, as they require constant energy to keep materialized. Unless one had an infinite supply of energy, then these chains would dissipate into crumbling dust. A normal Mystic would be able to summon five or more chains for at most ten seconds, but with unified chants, a group can summon hundreds of chains for a significantly longer time.
Chant
Since the dawn of time, he has held our world,
The bearer of the lands and the holder of the sky.
Atlas and the chains that hold you to servitude,
I [We] ask for your aid to seal this being!
Sin’s Gifts (Unique) – One of the Grand Patriarch’s unique spells, specialized in sealing Deities in order to prevent disasters from occurring. The spell has a lengthy chant and requires ample amounts of time and proper rhythm to even complete the spell, but it is proven to be leagues above ordinary Sealing Spells from Spirit Mystics. Should the spell be interrupted, not only will the Mystic die, but so will the deity being sealed. Do note that this spell will ruined the environment and might make others sick should they be within the environment.
Chant
Eat away this being’s sins, Gluttony’s Seal
Steal this being’s fortune, Greed’s Luck
Destroy this being’s soul, Wrath’s Destruction
Deny this being’s fate, Lust’s Temptation
Dream this being’s lost, Sloth’s Nightmare
Diminish this being’s destiny, Pride’s Reservation
Collect this being’s debts, Envy’s Touch
I seal thyself unto this vessel to be lost forever within your wrongs, Sin’s Gifts
Military Branch
Army (9)
Tiger Branch (Fangs) – Dedicated to those who lead the army as the vanguard, slashing aside foes like tofu with their broadswords. They face the most danger compared to all the other branches, but are the most essential battlers in head on fights.
Night (Crescent) Branch – Snipers are the most lethal troops available, capable of killing targets from hundreds of feet to even a mile away. The Night Branch is entirely composed of these elite soldiers, assigned to assassinate important targets or simply to kill/spot dangerous mutated.
Shadow (Skull) Branch – If the Night Branch is dedicated to those who kill from miles away, the Shadow Branch are those designed to kill from a few feet away. Equipped with a sword, dagger or other types of small to medium sized melee weapons, Shadow Branch soldiers are to kill important targets through subterfuge.
Guardian (Shield) Branch – Similar to those in the Tiger Branch, the Guardian Branch are those who lead the army as vanguards, but instead of focusing on massacring foes, they focus on absolute defend. Using tower shields made from the hardest materials on Earth and impenetrable armor, Guardians are like walking walls, capable of handling any type of damage.
Priest (Cross) Branch – Those in this branch are responsible for keeping soldiers alive through any means. Be it through Life-style Mysticism or through the advanced medicinal technology humanity has created, the Priest branch are the reason why casualties are kept low during battles.
Storm (Whirl) Branch – The Storm Branch is entirely composed of Mystics of all ranks and is the main force during large scale wars. With their skills, Storm Soldiers are capable of raining hell upon enemies with a few words. The only drawback to this branch is that Mystics are often limited by their capacity and often have to rest to recover their lost energy.
Library (Book) Branch – In charge of intelligence reports, enemy espionage and other types of intel gathering, the Library contains all of the data the Army has gathered. In addition to creating and gathering intel, the Library is also responsible for managing and posting any information and notices.
Engineer (Wrench) Branch – Due to the advent of highly advanced technology, Engineers have risen to become very important members in all branches of military, be it for their skill of fixing guns to planes, or designing new weapons to destroy the enemies. No matter what, the Engineer Branch is held highly and is crucial for a functioning army.
Crate (Box) Branch – Supplying soldiers and engineers is a job reserved for those in the Crate Branch. The Army does not discriminate against those who wish to join, and those who are unable to fight or are not well with technology, are placed into the Crate. The position may be looked down upon by others, but it is the glue that holds everything together.

Ashlani's Reincarnation
Ashlani was hunting keelish, a large bipedal reptile commonly seen as a pest, near his home village when he was betrayed by one he thought was his friend, which led to him being killed by the keelish he was trying to hunt. Shortly thereafter, he found himself reborn as a keelish spawn himself, and next thing he knew, he heard a voice, welcoming him to his new life. Ashlani was hatching as an ordinary keelish spawn himself, but was offered the opportunity to evolve from just a normal keelish into an assortment of superior ones. So begins Ashlani's new life, and, his pursuit of vengeance!This is me reattempting something I tried to write on tapas a couple of years ago. I’m going to try to be consistent on updates, but the whole “day job” thing gets in the way sometimes. I have been posting this on WebNovel, but decided to try to broaden my horizons, so I'm posting here as well! Also, join my discord! https://discord.gg/h7t9bSj2yz

8 105Reincarnated As A Benevolent Tyrant
NOTICE: This story is under rewrite. New novel has been published. Search **RE: Tyranny** in Royalroad for the new novel.Link- Re: Tyranny Thank You! ------------------------ "Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory." What a brilliant line, isn't it? James was a boy who had nothing to worry about. A happy family, a nice childhood. What's more to ask? But one day, everything changed. He lost everything in the blink of an eye. The only thing left for him were the memories and dreams of the past. Trying to cope up with the loss, he cut all ties with the outside world and became a shut-in, having no one left to call his own or to rely upon. There was nothing left for him in this world, but still he lived and soon found a purpose in his life, which lead him to create something that could change the world.And on the very day when his dream project was about to come to the light, he lost his life, trying to save a little girl from an unfortunate accident. "Will I ever be remembered...? I wish... someone would." These were the last word James mumbled before his conscious faded into darkness. But his life didn't end there, as he is transmigrated into the body of an arrogant, worthless Duke's son in some unknown land with no memories about who is or any idea about where he is. In an era of political turmoil and civil strife, the Duke's son is forced to prove his worth for inheriting the title. Will he be able to accept the new reality and prove himself by leading this country into a prosperous future? Or will he cease to the pressure of his past and lose everything once more? Disclaimer: This is not a power-fantasy or a 'feel-good' story. If you feel a protagonist should never lack agency (especially in early story) or make compromises because of difficult circumstances, then this fiction is probably not for you. It is a story that delves deep into real world sociological/psychological subjects and explores many topics of gray morality. I wrote it because I like stories that make me think more about the world around us, not to detach myself from reality. Some aspects you can expect based on the tags include:- [Kingdom Building]: political drama, geopolitical/geoeconomic strategy- [Army Building]: massive battles featuring in-depth planning, combined arms, and operational logistics- [Identity Crisis]: someone translated into a whole different world having to rebuild their identity and life aims The story starts off slowly, more like a slice of life than action-adventure, but I guarantee you it will get there. For those who want to skip the slow part, start from Chapter - 35 (Beginning of The End) (The whole Disclaimer section is copied from Aorii as I am too busy writing the complete story.) And yes, just for General Knowledge, James will become OP throughout the story. He is not some legendary guy who will pull out Excalibur & conquer the entire world. Update Schedule - One chapter a day. This novel is also available on Scribble Hub. And again, I humbly thank you for reading it. I hope you stick throughout the journey.
