"Shall we press the button?"
"No."
"...Why not?"
"No. Just... No. All our work will be wasted!"
"But what good will our work do? Paranoi has already fired everyone, has access to all the equipment, and could have all of mouse corp destroyed with a wave of his paw!"
"What about the humans? All our hard work?"
"What about them? Paranoi could order for all our hard work to be gone with a wave of his paw!"
"What is it with you and waves of paws?"
"I don't know. I've been watching too much human television, I guess."
"But what of the cats?"
"They would understand. We could launch project Gaia."
"And what of the dogs? They have an unhealthy obsession with humans."
"That's... A good point."
"They would kill us all and make us into squeaky balls!"
"You're right! We should continue with project Earth! ...But what about the second day of doom?"
"We will have to do what humans do best: Put things off until tomorrow."
"...To putting things off until tomorrow!"
"To putting things off until tomorrow!"
And as they toasted, a tiny spill...
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

Note: The above may or may not just be keyboard abuse-induced spam. If it was, then I suppose you can feel proud of figuring out that it was. If it wasn't, well, I suppose you can feel proud of wasting time trying to figure out what quadrant of space Mouse Corp is in, even though you can't make sense of coordinates.

David woke up.
David took a shower.
David had a coffee.
David had another coffee.
David had another coffee.
David had another coffee.
David had another coffee.
David had another coffee.
David had yet another coffee.
David had another coffee.
David had another coffee.
David had another coffee.
David had enough coffees after that that it would probably count as spam used to abuse the word count, so I'll stop there.
David tried to make sense of his dream. His dream was a weird one, as he could remember what it was even after he had his coffees.
It was the following:
"Shall we press the button?"
"No."
"...Why not?"
"No. Just... No. All our work will be wasted!"
"But what good will our work do? Paranoi has already fired everyone, has access to all the equipment, and could have all of mouse corp destroyed with a wave of his paw!"
"What about the humans? All our hard work?"
"What about them? Paranoi could order for all our hard work to be gone with a wave of his paw!"
"What is it with you and waves of paws?"
"I don't know. I've been watching too much human television, I guess."
"But what of the cats?"
"They would understand. We could launch project Gaia."
"And what of the dogs? They have an unhealthy obsession with humans."

Mice talking in a weird, grey, crossed-out, italicized text.
As David tried to make sense of this dream, he looked out the window to witness the miracle of the sun coming back.
And the sun exploded.
And then everyone died and everything sucked.
The end.

From Nothing
Rejoice Humanity! You have been invited to join the Galactic Hegemon. It is time for our Centenary Caste Competition. The best 1% of humanity will be given a 1 cycle tutorial before the 5 cycle contest. Be brave, be bold, but most of all, be strong and earn your place and privileges. Burning red letters hung large in the vision of everyone on earth that knew a written language. At the same moment that smartest, fastest, and strongest people on the planet disappeared with nothing to mark their passing. After a cycle of training and growth they would compete to earn their place in their suddenly expanded galaxy. This is not their story. Joe did his best to take care of his parents house and stay healthy. He was the only one of the four family members not chosen. The societal upheaval made by the announcement made the inflation and purges of the 20's seem pleasant by comparison but he keeps his head down and survives. Once the next message arrives 11 months later about the contest starting, even that society broke down into city states around large population centers. Joe tightened his belt and looked forward to the day that his family returned. Two years later burning red letters once again filled his vision. Humanity, the last of your competitors have been eliminated. Your determined caste level is 13 of 13. As such your planet has been claimed and will be repurposed for ideal resource production. Rifts will be seeded across the planet to increase resources and mana density. Your orbit will be corrected to ideal Hegemon standard. Do not interfere with any Hegemon activity, as the bottom caste you have no rights. Rejoice that all castes receive at least the basic Hegemon Growth System. Better luck next century. Joe didn't comprehend any of it. His family was dead. Everything he cared about was gone.

Demonic Requiem | The Epitome of Evil
He feared none but himself. As a human, Elias walked a cruel path which only got more vicious as he became a demon. Born as the son of the most powerful man in the continent, but lived a life no worse than a slave. His only friend being solitude. The further he endured, the further he began to lose his humanity. Even a point came when he lost all rationality and lived as a senseless demon. But no matter the obstacle. He endured. He learned. He survived. He evolved. As the rumors of his endeavors spread, many dreaded him, many worshipped him and many bowed before him.Nonetheless, Elias continued to walk on his path. The path of a demon. As time passed, Elias terrorized the world with his evil and devious means. People deemed him as a threat who could no longer be ignored. Many empires united. They allied, and an all-out war started. But, be it the cruelty of fate or their foolishness, the alliance lost. Elias stood as the lone survivor, but alas, he lost his life from an unforeseen cause. But for better or worse, his story still seems to have not ended. Elias gets reborn back when he was young, and the path he walked once, he will walk again, but this time the one who suffers will not be him. What to expect: This story is based on the concept of "What if a villain, gets a second chance?". Hence it contains a lot of torture, torment, and inhumanity. Revenge or such feelings do not drive Elias, so it's not a revenge story. There won't be any rape scenes or incest. It's also not a story like that. But expect some cruelty and torture along the way. Also, it's a slow-paced novel. In short: A lunatic who terrorized the world with devious power and cruel means gets reborn, this time becoming even more powerful and ruthless. Link for the Cover Art:
