《Maniac》0.1

The sun was peeking over the horizon when it was turned off. The sudden darkness startled the people out of their Sunday sleepiness, and at first, people were just confused. But, confusion gave way to fear, which turned into panic, which turned into chaos. Rioters looted, religious fanatics stirred the rising pot of anger, and the police were nowhere to be found, likely running home to their wives and kids. Lebowski, however, smiled and holstered his revolver.
Other guys at the gun range yelled in frightened voices, calling for lights and questioning what was happening. The electricity went off with the sun, it seemed. Darkness engulfed everything.
Lebowski ignored the panicking men, skipping over to his car. Lebowski idly thought whether he should be concerned standing on the precipice of the apocalypse, but, instead, he felt an extreme amount of excitement. Like a kid on Christmas morning, he was rushing home for his stash of goodies. After all, when shit is going down, the best course of action is to have a gun. Or at least that’s what his father would say.
Lebowski was revving the engine to his Porsche when a sound thundered in his ears, and a blue box appeared.
The Introduction phase is about to begin. Please make the necessary arrangements to ensure a smooth transition. Thank you.
Quickly scanning the words, Lebowski smiled. Energy flowed through him like never before, and the anticipation made him feel alive. This was real. This was happening, and Lebowski was down.
He drove through the dark countryside and into a big city, weaving through stalled cars and frantic pedestrians like a madman. The city’s lights were out, and in the darkness, pandemonium reigned. Lebowski ignored it all. His guns, ammo, and rations were calling his name. He needed to get to his stuff before things began to hit the fan.

The Introduction will begin within a few minutes. This is your last warning. Thank you.
“Haha!” Lebowski felt his body crackling. This was truly awesome. He hopped out of his car, dashing into his mansion. His boots echoed off the checkered floor. He navigated his home expertly in the darkness. He only ran into two different walls before he decided to turn on his phone flashlight. Arriving in a small room in the corner of the mansion, Lebowski stared at his guns and smiled. His firearms were right where he left them.
“Perfect!” His laughing yell echoed. Collecting all the ammo he could into a black backpack, he took all the automatic weapons he could carry. His beloved SAR 109T hung around his shoulder. The FDP-9, his golden boy, was tied across his chest. EPC-9, his lover, snugged tightly around his thigh. His favorite, though - his Beretta Manurhin Revolvers - he held those in a gentle caress.
These were a few of Lebowski’s favorite things.
So, when a light flashed across his vision, and he found himself without his guns, he was pissed.

Falling
It is often unclear when a thing comes to an end, the world itself no exception. In the event of the world ending, it was both abrupt and unnoticed, something down right confusing to most involved. Due to this confusion, we will quickly cover the short window of events that led to the destruction of the generally known universe, following the primary instigators to hopefully give the whole thing a little much needed context. ... Author’s Note: I intend to release regularly, hopefully weakly, within the planned three arcs. However, it may go on hiatus between arcs, but it should be clear that an arc has ended. Regardless, I currently plan to go on hiatus after the third arc, which is intended to be a natural breaking point. This is with the hope of not dropping off in the middle of narrative, and I am mentioning it now so no one is surprised if there are planned pauses. Content Warnings: I do not plan to include anything I would see as profanity, gore or traumatizing content. However, I do expect my bar for what qualifies is both above some people’s and below others. Therefore, I am including the Content Warnings so people are not surprised when my view is different. If you find something you do not like, I wish you luck in moving on without it farther concerning you. If I was not as extreme as you were hoping, I apologize for not meeting expectations. I have not marked sexual content, since I do not intend to include explicit sexual acts. However, sex and sexuality still exists and may come up as both an offscreen event or subject. Cover Art: The art work is by me, and I will take it down immediately at request from the artist.

Homecoming Hero [Post/Reverse Isekai]
A Reverse/Post-Isekai story. When he was only fourteen, Morgan Moon was thought to have died in an infamous plane crash. Instead, he arrived in the world of Validar where he discovered that he was the Chosen One prophesied to rid Validar's Nine Realms of its maniacal tyrants. After a decade-long adventure across this new world, Morgan fulfilled his destiny at the cost of his life. This, however, only concluded the hero's saga in Validar itself. Rather than making a final departure to the afterlife, he's found himself back on Earth after ten years. To his shock, he hasn't made the journey alone. Quite a few and far from the friendliest of Morgan's 'old associates' from Validar had made their way to Earth ahead of him, and they all have been eagerly awaiting the Chosen One's return for one reason or another. The hero's homecoming will not quite be the wholesome event he was hoping for.
