Chapter 0 - Tragedy of a Cruise ship
A ferry ship was heading to a certain island. This ferry is highly recommended by various critics that loved the beach of this certain island. Many lost souls would come into this certain island to be soothed from the stress of life. In particular, this Cruise ship accommodates about five hundred passengers. With a color scheme of blue, the cruise ship is state of an art vessel.
In this ship, a man with a grayish hair, average height, and sleepy eyes boarded the ship. He is a passenger that got lucky to be on this ship. This is his first time being on a ship heading to a resort island. He didn’t want to go, but, his family insisted. They wanted him to experience the beauty of the world. This simple man has been rather depressed for seven years already.
That is why in worry his family told him to come into this place. They wanted to show him how great life can be. After all, this man has lost his way the moment he graduated from high school. Unable to live with confidence, he became a failure to other people’s eyes. His family, however, doesn’t see him that way, thus he isn’t that bothered at all.
His family is all he had.
That is why because of Family that he came into this ship.
But even so, he would never know that what awaits him here is nothing but tragedy. The ship got off the port, went to the seas and everything was fine at the moment.
The certain young man, who is named Ramiel, looked at the endless sea before him. Standing on the front bow of the ship, Ramiel liked the cool air, the view, and sounds of the seagulls.

His hair fluttered as the sea wind meets. Various passengers were near the pool, clamoring, drinking, and enjoying various foods presented to them. This Cruise ship costs a lot. Ramiel looked up the prize of the ticket that was bought for him, that is why partly he didn’t dare to refuse to come into this
Ramiel sighs while leaning at the rails of the ship. Thinking about how he ended up here, he recalled back his past. The various heartbreaks and the disappointment that comes with all of it, you could say that Ramiel is a man lost in the sea of life. He didn’t know what to do with his life. He merely thought that maybe he could find an answer to this life.
So as he stares upon this sea. His head was in turmoil, his heart twirling, and soul empty. He just can’t find anything that would make him believe in a purpose to continue. He isn’t a good athlete, he doesn’t have any talents, and his skills are rather mediocre. Ramiel is an average man, suffering an existential crisis, and fear towards the future.
Dimmed eyes, and surrounded by a heavy mood. Those who tried to talk to Ramiel got driven away. Above the sky, there were strange lights hovering around. Ramiel looked at the sky, he tilted his head to the right, his brows furrowed and tightened. His hand made a little shake, and hand seems to choke his neck.
“What is that?
Ramiel wondered at the sky. And before he can even move his mouth again, a bolt of thunder pierced the center of the ship. Boom, the ship rattled at impact with the thunderbolt. Ramiel braced himself while trying to regain his balance. The people who were having went into a wild panic.
The boat is sinking.

Everyone who was sane started running looking things that might save them. But Ramiel was stricken in fear, his legs got stuck on the ground, but strangely he was calm. He felt like he was just staring at a movie. Playing before, he thought in his head that this is surely a dream.
But it wasn’t.
And because of that, the ship who got hit by that strange bolt of thunder slowly started sinking. The passengers have started to jump, and before long Ramiel was the only one left on top of the ship. Ramiel prayed, but the scene in front of him changed. And before long, Ramiel got dragged into the bottom of the Ocean.
While sinking deeper along with the cruise ship, Ramiel’s last thought was his family. Remembering them, he could not help but scream at the thought of being unable to see them ever again.

The Chronicles of Artharian Dagworth
Back in 2020 there were many theories on how the world would end. From the many religions apocalypses, nuclear wars that would leave the planet inhabitable, global warming doing the same, biological weapons getting out of control, viruses mutating into unstoppable diseases to the dead raising to prey on humanity, either due to a virus or just because hell filled up. Also, aliens, from the war mongering kind to the ones so advanced they didn’t see us as more than worms. And of course there was the fail proof theory that the world would end when the sun died. In a bunch of billion years give or take. Althougth some new scientist were discussing if the end would be on the take side, since when the sun started dying things would go haywire on the entire solar system and we would collide with mercury or maybe mars way before the expanding sun engulfed earth. But I digress… Now, those were the mainstream theories that the everyday Joe, who didn’t know the big secret, worried about. So, if you were to ask me which theory was correct I can tell you that I haven’t seen any little green man, at least not from another planet, and so far the sun is still shining, although it’s been only 9 years since everything went to hell, not the few billions (give or take) the scientist predicted, so that one isn’t ruled out yet. These two aside, I'd say all of them. Hey everyone, this is my first attempt at writing. I have been planning to do it for a really long time, and while this is not the one epic fantasy idea I ever wanted to write, I think it's a good one. The plan is to write an end of the world urban-fantasy series. Think a world like Dresden Files, Alex Verus, Iron druid, where magic is real but exist hidden from society meets the apocalypse. It will be written in first person in the Dresden Files style, no plans for other POV for now. As you probally alredy guessed from my style, english is not my first langague, so while google corrector helps, expect grammar errors, and I'd be gratefull for anyone to point them. I plan to write 2 to 3 chapters a week, 2000-4000 words each. Might change as I get more experience and depends on my free time. Cover image from the colections of getwallpapers.com

Life is Feudal
No OP stuff, status bars, levels or skills. This story is in favour of more realistic setting in a world of humans and various monsters. "Behind the mask of the assertive, resolute facade that employs ruthless routes at any given moment, lies the frail, anxious heart that were once but a puny human. Reviled and revered by many, none would ever know my true allegiance lies within myself, merely trying to survive this mess." Just the life of a grumpy man child living in a terrible piece of shit or a desolate state in which I call an alternate historical take on medieval Europe. Living as a peasant who is forced to take up arms to defend his own kin. This story grants an insightful take on the life of people living under constant danger, from vying nobles who commit atrocities in the name of justice, eager nations and barbarians aiming to take a piece of the bountiful land and mythical divine monsters who resembles a walking catastrophe in any possible way. [If you're easily offended by alternate-history religion and cultural practices, then you shouldn't read this.]
