Chapters and Release: Release days: Everyday Release time: 3pm UTC Status: Unedited. (Will edit after main story conclusion. Specifically from the start.) *** Synopsis: A fifteen years-old schoolgirl comes across a woman who was handing out leaflets for a confidential competition. Unknown to her, the competition took her out of Earth and into another dimension where she has to struggle to find clues behind why multiple worlds are having to be destroyed. The competition forces her to meet unknown entities who are both, good and bad. Sometimes, they would work for her and other times, they would work against her. The universe she goes to, causes her endless suffering until she finally solves the issue and head back to Earth. But that too, is of uncertainty. *** (Prologue) The dream of a child, is to grow up. While the dream of an adult, is to become a kid again. The dream of a poor person, is to be so wealthy and powerful, that the whole city would know their names. While the dream of a businessman, is to get the time in a day to sit and talk to his family for a second. Meanwhile, the dream of a missing or abducted person, is to go back home, to their family. And the dream of a teenager, is to simply be able to survive everything they are going through. Sometimes, people don't even know which category they belong to and move the way life moves them. Sometimes, they find a new path which leads them to even more difficulty. And in other times, they accept the hard truth, and choose to die. Thinking about the number of things that could happen instead, made her feel even more guilty for not listening to the advice of never wandering off alone. Now, she is homesick with extreme pressure of trying to grow strong, surpressing her from different direction. A normal fifteen years-old schoolgirl, comes across an opportunity to escape the hateful life she was leading. But the question is, was it really worst compared to the new life she was living? The competition grants her the things she wanted, but did it not have her pay the price for her choice? But of course, her reply would be, "I just accidentally joined it. It's no big deal compared to Earth." They are told that the worlds are all just novels they had read back at Earth, but if it were really true, why are certain things not matching with what seemed to be true in the novel compared to its world? As reckless she was, she got summoned into a different dimension where it was clearly uncertain whether she would ever be able to return back to Earth, to her previous life. But the more she got closer to Earth, the more the route got covered in blades. Turns out, the only way back, is to sacrifice the things that made her happy, and go on harsh adventures across the entire universe, while suffering threats from powerful enemies coming from the competition. (Author's note: I plan on making things more emotionally intense in the future.)

Starbound: A Space Odyssey

Starbound: A Space Odyssey

As red tentacles burst from the ground, the whole planet trembled and fell into chaos. It was the beginning....the beginning of the end. Earth was destroyed with the attack of the mysterious creature. The Terrene Protectorate, the defenders of the universe, were left in shambles after the attack on Earth. Only a few people were able to flee from the planet before its complete destruction. John Connor, an 18 years old fresh graduate Protector, was one of those lucky enough to survive and escape. Armed only with his dubious expertise and a few tools, he will have to avoid the dangers the universe without the Terrene Protectorate can offer, repair his ship, restore the symbol of a defunct organisation and carry the burdens of the fate of the world that lies on his shoulders. Surviving in this turbulent era won't be easy for our inexperienced John Connor. With the end of the Terrene Protectorate, numerous factions that were once dormant, will rise and start to fight for power. Outlaws, fanatics, greedy corporations, and governments, the conflict of interests of those groups and factions will lead to an incredible amount of deaths. Follow John Connor as he explores the wonders of the endless universe, and discover how harsh and unforgiving reality can be. --------------- Chapters will be about 1000 to 1500 words. (Except for some special chapters.) ------------------ * YOU CAN READ THIS WITHOUT EVER PLAYING THE GAME OR KNOWING THE LORE! EVERYTHING IS EXPLAINED THROUGHOUT THE CHAPTERS, AND EVEN HAVE SOME AUXILIARY CHAPTERS WITH MORE DETAILED EXPLANATION. I also had to change a lot about the lore of the game to fit in the format of a novel, I really mean a lot, since the game itself doesn't give a lot about its lore and neither have detailed storytelling, since the focus of the game was in exploration and doing whatever the player wants. ------------------- Disclaimer: This Novel is based on the videogame Starbound by Chuckle Fish. The image is from the artist LemanRush; I downloaded it from the site DeviantArt. Also, sorry about my English, it isn't my primary language. Enjoy... :D

See you ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some loves defy the gods. Some curses last forever. For thousands of years, Giana has loved the same man across countless lifetimes She was once a mortal girl who climbed a sacred mountain and fell in love with a king—the immortal Linchpin who held back the darkness between worlds. When he made her immortal like him, the gods punished them both with a curse: he would be reborn endlessly, his memory scrubbed clean with each death, while she would remain, eternal and alone. But the gods were not satisfied with simple forgetting. They decreed that when he died, she would be torn away—ripped from his side moments before his last breath, denied even the mercy of watching the light leave his eyes. She has never held him as he passed. Never whispered goodbye. Never witnessed the exact moment he slipped from one life to the next. She only returns to find him cold, already gone, already reborn into a world that will steal him from her again. A thousand deaths. A thousand goodbyes she never got to say. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kaelen Vance has everything. Money. Power. Control. He is a billionaire CEO who trusts data, logic, and the cold certainty of reality. But reality is cracking. For months, he has been haunted by nightmares that feel more real than his waking life: a frozen mountain, a woman with ancient, knowing eyes, the sensation of his own body dying over and over again. Then he walks into a coffee shop and sees her. Time stops. The world vanishes. And for the first time, Kaelen Vance—the man who has never believed in anything he couldn't touch—remembers. Not with his mind, but with his soul. But when he sees her again in the park, something in him knows her too. Now Giana must convince a man who trusts only facts that the madness invading his mind is not madness at all—it is memory. A millennia years of it. Thousands deaths. And every memory they recover cuts open again, spilling the very pain that could destroy them both. A CEO who needs to controls. A woman who has lost everything. A love that has survived the end of the world. They believed this was the curse the gods intended to last forever. But what if it wasn't? Was it truly the gods who did this to them? Or is something—someone—else pulling strings from the shadows, orchestrating her agony across millennia to ensure the King never returns? One thing is certain: They will fight. Together. And if the gods are responsible, they will damn them all. -----------------------------------------------------------------------

At the same time, the book also incorporated some social and historical elements, making the story richer and more deeply rooted in people's hearts. Overall, National Forensics was a novel worth reading. It gave people a lot of inspiration and thought. 7."Wait, Heroine": A new work by Young Master Guan Guan, the favorite minister of the empress, the lover of the rebel leader, and the young master of a famous Jianghu family. It was a combination of various identities. Each female character had a distinct personality. It was a love scene that was written better, and the feeling of pushing and pulling between the man and the woman was full. The results of the previous book,'Prince is Fierce' were not bad. I hope I can achieve greater glory again! 8."Mantang Colorful Scenery": Rating: AAAAA The prosperous Chang 'an City was full of undercurrents. Under the rule of the court, people were arrogant and extravagant, and they fought for power endlessly. The country was in turmoil, the Hu people rebelled, and human lives were like grass. This was the best moment for the Great Tang, and also the worst moment… 9."Hidden Dead Corner":"Hidden Dead Corner" was a novel full of suspense. The story was compact and fascinating. The author's writing style was unique and powerful. The creation of characters and the description of the environment were very mature. The technology and ability settings in the story were also very interesting. The protagonist could absorb the energy of different flowers and obtain corresponding supernatural abilities according to different flower languages. It was very exciting. At the same time, the technological ability of the world view was also very powerful. Whether it was AR glasses or flying instruments, they could provide help in life. The plot was divided into different small parts, and most of the dead ends could be found in the corresponding story in reality. By analyzing the real story, one could find a way to leave the dead end. In the blind spot, in addition to the strangeness of the mutation, they had to fight against other humans who entered, increasing the chances of death and increasing the degree of bloodshed. Looking for his son's father. 10:"Final Divine Duty": 82 recommendations. I entered the pit for the mecha, but it's temporarily a world of high martial arts. It feels pretty good. The setting was rather novel. Hopefully, it was a world where Fang Xiang and the squid were combined. 11."Beyond Time": A bit of a strange cultivation method, with more pollution settings compared to traditional cultivation methods. Big Ear's writing style was excellent. The characters in the environment were portrayed very well. There were also some breakthroughs in the plot.

As for the workers, they started from the acquaintances in the chat group before they transmigrated. From four to six to thirty, the prototype of the base was basically completed. They began to contact and fight the mutated humans and brought back an injured female mercenary. [Why I'm reading this book: The style of the novel is more relaxed and funny, which plays down the cruelty of the apocalypse.] It could be said that the players were quite well-shaped. At least, they were remembered by others. They were not the faceless workers of the so-called "Fourth Calamity." Furthermore, it was very detailed and reasonable to use modern technology to restore production from scratch in the apocalypse. It had the taste of doomsday survival guides like "Friends of Military and Civil Talents","Militia Military Training Manual","One Hundred Thousand Whys", and "Veterans Getting Rich Manual". Why not read this book: Many people feel that no one will play this kind of realistic game with a bunch of players, and they are very disgusted with treating players as livestock. This is a matter of opinion. Secondly, it can be said that the half-system robot is too humanoid. It also depends on how much one accepts it. I personally don't like it. In general, the grain would be evaluated according to the situation. "Red Heart Sky Patrol": In ancient times, the demon race went extinct. In the modern era, the dragon race disappeared. The era of the Great Divine Dao was already like smoke, the era of the peak of the flying sword had finally fallen. What happened to this world? Who would listen to the truth of history buried in the river of time? Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are painted with corpses, and hundreds of years of heaven and earth are painted with hungry tigers. Heaven and earth are fair as heartless I have a pure heart to survey the heavens! "Ring of Destiny":"Ring of Destiny" is a fine novel written by a squid that loves to dive. The main character of the story was Lumian Lee. After experiencing a series of nightmares, he met a foreigner by chance and learned the way to escape from the dream. The story used the sequence upgrade as a cool point, allowing the readers to experience a sense of never-ending upgrade. Compared to the previous work, Lord of the Mysteries, this work had inherited and developed in all aspects, showing a new world. The author used his own unique writing style to combine reality and strangeness, bringing a new reading experience to the readers. All in all, Ring of Destiny was a work that people looked forward to and recommended. State Preceptor of the Ming Dynasty This was a book that talked about economics and politics under the guise of a novel. The review claimed that he was studying economics at Qidian. The author should be a professional teacher. He seemed to have a master's degree. It was definitely not as rigorous as a proper textbook, but it was lively and interesting. It could be considered a popular science text. It was a book with an automatic filter function. Those who liked it would like it very much, and those who didn't would probably not be able to continue reading it. The good thing was that the comment section was not too foul. After all, those who couldn't continue reading would leave before they could post a comment. "Ascending on the Right Day": At the moment, it feels a bit like the feeling of looking at the divine tomb. It's undoubtedly a divine work. Ranking index: 17:"Who's Going to Fall in Love After Rebirth": 8.3 points Why did he have to fall in love after his rebirth? Was it the cigarette or the wine? He had no woman in his heart, so he pulled out his knife naturally! "Deep Sea Ember":"Deep Sea Ember" is a fascinating novel. The author's grand and mysterious worldview and serious yet relaxed style attracted the readers 'attention. The mystery in the story made people want to find out, and it made people curious about how many books Dayanzhu had to sacrifice. The author's writing style was very good. The characters in the book were all intelligent. The plot was complete and meticulous, giving people a lot to watch. The story was set in a world that had been completely overturned and fragmented, making people want to know more. All in all, this book is worth reading. I hope everyone can support the author even more. "Cultivation in the Chaos of the Demonic Martial World":"Cultivation in the Chaos of the Demonic Martial World" was a very creative novel. The author used the elements of mortals and shuttling between the two worlds to present a fantasy world of cultivation to the readers. The main plot of the story revolved around the protagonist's adventures in the Immortal Cultivation world and the Demon Martial World, allowing the readers to experience a different Immortal Cultivation experience. Even though some of the chapters were a little weak, overall, the book was worth reading.
