There once was a great race of Homo sapiens sapiens, they rise up from the sea, flown down from the sky and built the greatest wonder on earth that this universe ever sees.
All the other race fell before the might of mankind; many driven away from their home, enslave, imprison or extinct all together. No one dare to challenge human for their dominant on this earth. If any should dare rise his head up too high or harm any human, all their kind and many other shall suffer a great punishment like the wrath of God himself descent upon them.
Human were at the highest of their power in their final moment, even reaching into the star and set foot on another planet. Seeing the human ambition, many said that the god sent down a star barring gift and power for humankind. Its power grants a select few humans who can bare its power a great strength and mystery power which are still to this day called “Magic” by human race.
The day that the star fall mark a beginning of a new era for all of us.
In the wake of this new found power that could lead human to even greater future instead of sharing this power among themselves some human start fighting each other and even start a war between nation for this select few humans which last for many decades.
In an attempt to control and harvest its power, finally the star break. Its power swoop through the world and remake everything forever. All species of plant and animal start to react to its power like never before and many grew up many times its original size. Some were grant the power of magic too and share it with their own kind unlike the human in their waking moment.

The continent starts to move and human found themself lost in this new world. Their superweapon lost when the very earth shifts beneath them, along with their government that keep bickering and distrust among themself while the world turns on them from inside of their own home. Many were killed in a vengeful hunt from many species that were oppressed under human for many centuries. The few first selected human that chosen by the star try to lead the remaining survival to create a new home but the human of Homo sapiens sapiens can no longer bare the air and pressure of this new world any longer. For just standing still felt like the air is pushing down on them constantly and in every breath gave a sharp cut in their lung as if there’s a black thorn hidden in the air.
The first 2 blessed human, Astra and Lucena have to decide quickly on what to do or risk losing more people. Seeing their fellow men fell one by one they decide to choose a radical path of transformation. To change into something new that can withstand this new world and win a war that they know is coming. When their attempt finally success in incarnating themselves in to this new beautiful form, they start to transform other selected few that they believed can survive the transformation while the rest are abandoned. For they alone cannot save a million of people that have come to them for help.
The selected human that survives and change were later known as “Amiel” the new rebirth race of humanity. Although many other races still see them as human and hate them all the same.
Astra and Lucena are lover and fought many battles together. They were led to find each other through the power of the star and Alana, their child, was also believed by them to be a gift from God himself.

Alana whom always have a kind heart, however disapprove of this radical path that would abandon millions of people who come beg her for help so she chooses another. She chose to give a small part of her power into other instead. With this path although billion is still lost, humanity survived.
But because it is not a transformation change like people of Amiel these new human does not possess any power of magic nor strength. Just a regular weak old fashion human among this brave new world full of new creature that want to destroy them.
The first war come just as everyone was expected "The great cleansing” they called it. The war that all species will once again fight and find their place in this new world hierarchy. Many new races were wipe out to extinction and human have come close to the end many times but because of their alliance with Ameil and some other races they live on.
Alana was the first who propose the idea of alliance between all race while everyone is busy trying to kill each other and curve up a new world order, even among Ameil who was just recently had been human start to felt the need to abandon humanity to save themselves but Astra and Lucena will never abandon their daughter so the alliance never breaks no matter what their people said.
The first alliance only possible only because the Fire Ant race start to dominant the world and everyone else is losing, their number grow unchecks and no one really know how to destroy their giant underground network completely. So, in desperation all race joins in to stop the ants in unity which result in great success but as soon as the war was won and the Fire Ant empire assume destroyed the alliance broke once more with more grudge to add to the list. But still this alliance lay a ground work for the future alliance, for each race starting to welcome or tolerant a sight of diplomat more, unlike the beginning phase of war where everyone kills everyone on sight.
The great cleansing lasts many decades until the end which 6 major powers remain: Human republic of New Terra, Great People of Ameil, Fire Ant dynasty, Mountain Crow of Corvidia, The Wolf fang for people party and The Goat church of Amalthea.
In the memory of princess Alana all races agree to build a city in the heart of this new continent and called it “City of Alana”. A place where all race can come to live side by side in peace and harmony without the constraints of politic or grudge of the past. Here in the heart of this city lie the very first school for children of all race to come study, learn and live side by side together in peace and harmony.
Should the school or the city of Alana fail to bring all the races together, the great cleansing may yet start anew. And with it, the sin of the past may yet resurface to collect it due. Still many brave spirits of all races, who believe in her vision of tomorrow, try to live by her example in this city. For they know should this city succeed; the world will finally be able to move on toward tomorrow.
This is the story of her children

Did you think my dream wasn’t childish? The best dreams most often are. No? Well, maybe you just don’t dream big enough. Ever think about that? Dreams are never easy to follow, and neither is mine. There are millions of players who want the same as I do, but very few would actually risk their future trying. Following the path of a Villain isn’t easy, and I have a city filled with thousands of players who would love to see me fail. I will show them though.

The Magic Man (Very Dead)
John was a fan of system apocalyspes, so he thought he knew what coming when he got caught up in one. He was wrong. This was an apocolypse in the original sense of the word, an unvieling. There were no ravenous hordes of monsters, no genocidal tutorials, and certainly no aliens from another dimension. Just humans. So John thought, "How can I exploit this?" This is my first story, and I am writing it as I go. Dont expect a regular update schedule or much long-term foreshadowing.

The Adventures Of Heegan, Bleegan, Hoogan, and Bloogan: The Search For The Enchanted Toad Of Delarmir
This is a tale of four young goblin brothers, whose adventures and calamities are told as legends and jokes throughout the land. But they were first inspired by legends they heard, before ascending into one themselves; a reminder that simple beginnings can be the start of something great. Written for my D&D 5e party after they demanded I write an actual story about a children's book they found in one of our sessions, so I wrote it as it would appear in game as a childrens story. I took a very different approach on writing it, so do not be too disappointed when you find out it's not written at first grade reading level. Feedback is much appreciated, as I have never produced anything like this and I do hope I manage to entertain at least a few of you. New chapter releases to be within 3-5 days of one another (Work is now complete, do not expect new chapters).

After Z
The signs were all there. A mysterious fever spreading in the wake of the pandemic. Increasing incidents of unrest with surprisingly little coverage by the media. Breakdowns in basic services. Nick had thought for years that total social collapse would come in his lifetime – he just never expected that collapse to come from the unquiet dead. As soon as he was sure enough that the potential danger outweighed the awkwardness of admitting that yes, the dead were rising, Nick grabbed his bug out bag and bugged out. It felt, at times, that the zombie movies, comics, and games he’d grown up with had been preparing for this moment. And Nick was right. But also very very wrong. After Z is an apocalyptic occult interactive serial about survivors hiding from the dead in a forest preserve. A new chapter is posted every week, and every week supporters vote on which way the story flows. This story will be added to daily until it's caught up with its current state elsewhere; if you don't want to wait you can read ahead on my blog.
