《End of the World》Chapter 1
Advertisement
The day started out like normal, me going to college, finding my friends, and making plans for later tonight. You would think that your life would've been a boring one, watching the news about a successful trade between the Tadanorg and us. They are really strict about what they would trade, and what they would accept from us.
As I was walking to my part-time job as a technician, that was the moment that changed our lives. The first round land two blocks away and blew part of the road. Everyone that was close to it were either launched back 10-30 feet or were killed from the heat.
I was part of the group that was launched back, luckily I managed to roll and lessen the impact, wile the others around me were knocked out from that. Everyone started to run and called for the police or the government to come take care of the attack. Then I saw the ships and their troop carriers enter the atmosphere and commence the full attack. One group of carriers landed near my job and I realized that my friends were at my job waiting for me to fix their computers.
I started to run towards the shop while others were running away from there yelling "Boy, turn around and run” or “Turn around boy, they are right behind us”. Fortunately, I managed to stay fit and find a way through the running crowds. I ran for 10 minutes when I realized that there was no one there, and that was when I slowed down to get a better look around me.
There was something here and I could feel it. That was when I first heard the attackers, they were reporting to their commanders when they noticed me. There was a shout as I turned around and ran and felt something go by me. When I managed to get to a cluttered area, I ducked behind cover and looked to where I ran from. I saw then jogging up to the area I was in and pulled something out.

The one with the object pointed in my direction and that was when I realized that it was a scanner. I managed to pull my head back in time for a laser to pass by, I was then looking around for a way to get away from that area. The area around me was as dense as the rest of the road and I realized that I was trapped. As I was accepting my fate, I heard the unmistakable sound of our military jets and ships arrive at the edge town.
Several of our cyborg troops rushed the enemy on the other side of me and distracted them while yelling at me to run. So I just ran around the fighting as fast as I can and hurried to the shop. When I got there, I found it collapsed while one cyborg was fighting with three of the enemy and was slowly losing ground. I was forced to leave the area and when I turned the corner to a side road, a building to the right of me blew up. I was pushed into the side of the building from the force of the explosion. When I tried to get back up, the road suddenly collapsed under me.
When I came to, I didn't know when I lost conciousness or where I was, but there was only one way for me to go and that was forward. Right when I tried to move, pain flooded into my body and I felt that my legs and one of my arms were broken. So I just tried to move with the one working arm and slowly made my way through the tunnel. As I left the collapsed part of the tunnel, I realized that there was still light in the tunnel from an unknown source.

It felt like I was dragging myself for hours and my arm ached from the strain, but I finally reached the end of the tunnel and entered a circular room. There was runes on the walls and in the center of the room was a raised pedestal. I felt like I was supposed to go to the pedestal, but when I went around the room I heard a voice in my head say 'do you want to survive or save everyone on this world Jayden Brewer?'.

Neophyte
Blurb:Layla lives in a multi-planar universe where gods and superhuman immortals roam. Immortality is possible but only to those with money, power, and connections. Layla isn't worried about that, though. She's just trying to pay the rent. Robinhood style, of course. Atom is the self-proclaimed Mantle of Procrastination and good times. He Ascended from Earth a thousand years ago. A millennial NEET shut-in at heart, he enjoys video games and holo tube while spending time with his female companion, who does all his deific duties for him. Join the crazy adventures of a lazy God and his unwilling follower's rise to power. The first few Arc's of the story is an Academy arc. I think you will know if you like the story by chapter 6 as the first chapter may be confusing (or sucks, idk I like it so whatever)._________ The story is a slow burn. If you are expecting quick progression, I suggest looking at some of the other great stories on RR. I personally enjoy and Patreon several, but that's not what I'm writing. That might hurt my chances of trending anytime soon (or ever lol), but that is fine with me. I'm sure some of you will appreciate the story as much as I do in writing it. FAQ: The story has elements of xianxia and wuxia along with some GameLit (at some point). The story takes place in an age where tech has advanced to a complete integration with magic. Imagine everything running on mana or qi instead of electricity, and you will get the idea. There will be crafting but not until later in the story. It's actually a core plot elemenet for Layla. I'm writing this story for my own enjoyment and as a way of relieving stress in my life. I'm not a pro author or a naturally gifted wordsmith. I don't have beta readers and every chapter posted is a first draft. I'm still learning and will strive to improve as I continue the story. If you don't speak up I can't work on improving as an author. I welcome any criticism and encouragement that would help me become a better writer. I can't believe you read this far down! ;) Enjoy the story. --Cover Credit-- Cover art (emblem) by: Oxana Che Cover Design by: Miblart

Harry Potter and the Seer's Ambition
After Voldemort came back at the end of the triwizard tournament, Harry tried his best to inform the wizarding world that he was back but faced with denial and ridicule, Harry could only fume in anger. Little did he know that Voldemort wasn’t the biggest threat he would have to face. Receiving power from unexpected sources and armed with Information he didn’t expect to have, Harry sets out on a mission to bring the dark lord and his followers down and uncover one of the world’s least known secrets. ============ This novel has been posted on Webnovel, Scribblehub, Fanfiction & RoyalRoad. This story was supposed to be a rewrite of my earlier book, Harry Potter and the Dark Phoenix but the plot ended up so different that I figured I’d just make a new book out of it. I might, at some point in the future, rewrite the earlier book with the earlier plot but that will have to wait for this one to finish. This is an AU so please keep that in mind. Constructive criticism is welcome, needless bashing is not.

The Shards of Sylvia's Soul
In the little village of Nyberg, Sylvia is dreaming of a future with Rebecca at her side. Together, they could move overseas. But when bandits attack, all of her tender dreams turn to ashes. Forced out of her home, Sylvia forges new bonds with the Fri, the women who have taken it upon themselves to protect their little corner of the world. She also meets Afi, a strange bandit with a stern face and a soft heart. Saving each other from certain demise, they join in a bond which irreversibly ties their souls together. So bonded, they attempt to settle down. When a distant heir to the Crown asks for aid to reunite the country, Sylvia sees her chance to finally right all the wrongs committed against her family. In the pursuit of the throne, Afi and Sylvia come to risk their very lives. Sylvia uncovers the relationship between soul, magic, and divinity itself, but even in research, there is peril. It is not an easy task to balance the strain on her soul with the demands of the upcoming battle. In this world, the soul is not an incorporeal concept. To the contrary, the human soul is a physical object, an organ which resides in the chest of each individual. It is a great source of strength, but also of vulnerability. Hardship can leave scratches and blemishes, or even break the soul in two. The soul is each person's connection to divinity, to the magic which is ubiquitous to the world. It enables the cultivation of gods, but old legends warn of demons emerging in the presence of corrupt intention, and of hollow warriors, with no soul at all. There are two sides to every page. Update ScheduleNew chapters are in the works. ScopeThree to four books in total are planned.Book 1: "Fri Women" Chapters 1-64. Find the paperback and e-book here.
