Year 43 of the Human Calendar - Southwest district of the Holy Land of Xue - Lynn house
(Yue POV)
We sat on a wooden bench on the terrace.
“It became a really big thing“ Tang
We have a great view of the Holy land with the statue of the goddesses in the background.
Houses, streets, water tanks, children blowing kites, adults carrying food, etc.
“It really did, when we arrived this place was just a green meadow“ Yue
An empty space with nothing inside.
“And now it is a great cradle of life“ Tang
Different from a cultivator city, Guards patrol the streets and people respect each other without any kind of class difference.
The new generation cant even imagine what was to live in a lawless community.
“Everything changed for good“ Tang
“Yeah, these are good times“ Yue
Memories invade my mind.

Year 13 of the Human Calendar - Southwest district of the Holy Land of Xue - Alaslamia clinic
“I came as fast as I could, how is the baby?“ Yue
On top of a bed there was the witch.
“Babies, they are two of them“ Shaolan
“!!!“ Yue
Twins?
“Congratulations!“ Yue
“Yeah, now I can do twice as many experiments of what I expected“ Shaolan
“...“ Yue
“...“ Shaolan
“I already told you before, your jokes need work“ Yue
“I think they are fine“ Shaolan
No, they aren't.
“So, where are they?“ Yue
“Usain and Qianxun are looking after them in the incubator room, I will show you the way“ Shaolan
I grab her shoulder before she does anything.
“Nope, if Qianxun let you in a bed is because you need to rest“ Yue
I may need to use the Water Manipulation.

In that half year of pregnancy, Shaolan was really worried that her poisoned body would hurt them.
Fortunately, the children inherited a tolerance to the poison from their parents and, although they were premature babies, the medical technology of this kingdom was able to help them.
“And it seems that we aren't the only ones to change“ Tang
“It keeps happening?“ Yue
The Flora and fauna of this continent became weird after the cultivators disappeared.
Grass became harder, trees started giving fruits that recovered a little of MP, and some plants began to defend themselves.
Animals started using mana instead of spirit energy. Different to the spiritual creatures, some of them are harmless and only eats plants.
“Some people are thinking of taming them“ Tang
“Seriously?“ Yue
“Seriously“ Tang

Year 31 of the Human Calendar - Southwest district of the Holy Land of Xue - Lynn house
(Tang POV)
“Dad, Why?!“ Benjamin
He questioned me as soon as he crossed the front door of the house.
“Why what?“ Tang
I stopped eating my sandwich and looked at him.
“Why didn't you run for king?!“ Benjamin
“Ah, that“ Tang
I leave the sandwich on a table.
“Did you think that I couldn't win against you?“ Benjamin
Those aren't the words of a future king.
“The world doesn't revolve around you, my decision didn't have anything to do with you“ Tang
I reply in a cold tone.
“Then why? You still have one term!“ Benjamin
“Benjamin“ Tang
I sit on the couch.
“Just because I can, it doesn't mean that I should“ Tang
“?“ Benjamin
“I've done everything I could think of for this kingdom, more terms are useless to me“ Tang
“How... How could you say such things! are you giving up?!“ Benjamin

Giving up?
“Wasn't you the one that always told Hikari and me that the human have unlimited possibilities?!“ Benjamin
“Being a king isn't about winning a term, it is about thinking about the best for everyone“ Tang
“...“ Benjamin
“I could have been a good king, but that is it. I don't have anything more to offer to this land, only my prejudices of the past“ Tang
“Prejudices of the past?“ Benjamin
“I was born in a world where demons killed each other without any real reason, just to have fun. I was in the front line of those events, as a poor bodyguard that could only move as told“ Tang
“...“ Benjamin
“When I see them abandoning their cultivation to joining our land, those memories always come out of the depths of my mind“ Tang
“But the fact that they abandoned their cultivation make it clear they didn't live a demonic life“ Benjamin
“Exactly that is my point, Your mind can see the things clear. That is the kind of people that needs to be king, people that live in the present world“ Tang
“A new era needs new people...“ Benjamin
“...Nobody should govern forever“ Tang
These were Master Linjian's words when he explained the king's terms to the people.
“The new generations are a blank canvas that is painted with the best memories of the past and the innovations of the present“ Tang
“...I understood“ Benjamin
I get up from the couch.
“Don't worry, I will continue to defend this kingdom as a commander“ Tang

It was the right decision, it has not disappointed me.
“?“ Yue
I rest my head on Yue's lap.
“Tang, we are no longer newlyweds“ Yue
“Oh? but I love you more every day that passes“ Tang
“Don't be cheesy“ Yue
“...“ Tang
“...I love too“ Yue
She caresses my forehead.

Year 43 of the Human Calendar - West wall of the Holy Land of Xue - West gate
(Qianshan Seong POV)
I couldn't believe my eyes.
“What...“ Qianshan
A fifty meter tall aura was approaching the kingdom from the west.
“What is he doing here?!“ Qianshan
“...“ Wall guards
Not even my fellow guards could believe it as fear filled their faces.
“Sound the alarm and set off the special fireworks signals!!“ Qianshan
The blurry aura is...
Colorless.

A-Live AI
The year is 2247. For almost two hundred years Sentient AI research has been banned. Everyone knew this, and yet no one has ever given up on finding the perfect setup for it. Restricted AI are rare, but possible to get ahold of if you have the money and the clout to get through the law for it. Especially when it deals with the military. Alfred Homis is an engineer and has spent the last three years working for the United Terran Military's Research and Exploration Department. Specifically to help build a 'shackled' AI who's prime directive was to explore potentially habitable worlds. Worlds that are far cheaper to colonize and add to the United Terran Directorate's fold than terraforming. During the AI's maiden voyage things go horribly wrong, taking Alfred Homis along for the ride. Thrown into a parallel universe where the laws of physics are just a little messed up, Alfred finds himself trapped inside the very machine he'd helped to build. Add magic, hostile fantasy creatures, and two different pantheons of 'Gods' to the mix and things get even more complicated. Oh, and an invasion between universes to boot. But that's just all in a days work though for Alfred, the AI Lord. Authors Note: Hi guys! Long time no see. And yes, I know that's all on me. But I blame life for that. Anyway, this is my new work, and I hope you guys enjoy it! The chapters are a little shorter than I'd previously posted in my other stories, but I cannot say that I have the same amount of time or energy to write them like that anymore. Sorry about that. Still, some warnings: There is cursing in this story. I am not going to edit it out. There will be sexual content later. Blood, gore and cruel depictions are all planned. If that isn't your thing, I'd suggest you turn back now. There is also my dry, and often not-so-funny sense of humor. And oh, it's all in first person gain. Haha. I just tend to write better that way. If none of that bothers you, then enjoy the read! Feel free to comment, point out mistakes, or make suggestions! Reviews are nice too, but please lay off the criticism until the story gets good and going. Thank you. Note 1: Some edits to the synopsis.

Broken
An empowering tale of beginning anew. Centuries ago, the prophetic Golden Age ended in war, and history spiraled into darkness... Now, the saga continues as our heroes prepare for a dark invasion in the hollow aftermath of A'lara's unbinding. Deep within the mountain fortress of Sierlyn, the legendary elf Kingard frees the captive empress of Allana. Under the elf's watchful eye, the new Light Master Jorn strives to redeem the stains of his past betrayal. When the unwitting darkmage Haisrir embarks for distant Kholl, he unleashes the gravest threat of all. Divided in purpose and forsaken by prophesy, their fractured band splinters under the burdens of impending war. But looming beyond the eastern horizon, their enemies ready a ghastly armada. Without new portents to guide them, Kingard and his allies face a blind scramble to defend their imperiled empire. Praise for Broken: Exciting, suspenseful, and constantly left me wanting more. I felt a connection with every character that stretched over a very wide range of emotions. I eagerly wait for the next installment. - J.R. Cooper of Texas ★★★★★ This novel was published in 2021, and it includes 25 antique watercolor maps! Check them out: Maps of Broken: an atlas directory

Dark Matter
In the year 2023, scientists investigating the nature of dark matter caused a blackout throughout the entire world of Coranth. With this blackout came the appearance of supernatural and near-magical elemental abilities able to be wielded by all. By harnessing the dark matter in the environment, even ordinary humans now accessed powers that would have been deemed fantasy. These abilities include Wind, Fire, Lightning, Water, and Terra, being the five natural elements of which dark matter is absorbed by the planet itself. Additionally, the two moons orbiting Coranth offer the "Superior" elements of Dark and Light. The year is now 2041, and Dark Matter will follow the story of an adolescent boy named Raiden Sullivan in a dystopian future, 16 years old, eldest of 2, and son to Marcus Sullivan. Raiden is an intelligent young man belonging to a poor family with an absentee mother. He partakes in daily chores to cover living expenses after school and his home life is surrounded by his caring father and younger sister. In truth, this is my take on urban fantasy with slight LitRPG that keeps the "magic" elements somewhat scientific for a more realistic story. In using the dark matter surrounding our universe, humans can now harness elemental abilities as well as absorb dark matter from the beasts/monsters to further strengthen their abilities. For the most part, that'll be the main premise of the power system. Full transparency, this will be the first story I write and also the first story I publish, so please be patient with me. For some context, I'm an avid reader and after 4 or so years of only consuming, I feel that it might be time to try my hand at writing instead. Please feel free to add your opinions and criticism, it would be much appreciated. With that said, I hope you enjoy Dark Matter!
