《Life's Allegory》Part III - Prologue
Advertisement
Kirito a Mayan youth.
Historically till the present age we have laboured in engineering, warcraft and art. Our people lack nothing and we are a people that have always strived to do more. Never satisfied with our accomplishments.
There is no hunger or want in our communities and we have accepted our baser instincts and emotions as part of ourselves but we are ruled by none of our base passions. Extremes are a weakness we Mayans are guided to conquer in are formative years.
Those of us who seek to compete with our neighbours in war occasionally meet to test themselves and the new martial ways we have developed in the art of killing other humans. Many die but the empire gains much from such excursions outside our lands.
Death is sad but has never been the end of existence but just a passageway to the beyond and though we may send them off, we do so with dignity and respect, never malice. For malice, anger and hate is a poison to the immortal soul.
This year 289 of us meet to go raid the neighboring Keto Kingdom for women and slaves. We expect to be met by no more than 2000 of them with clubs, spears or weapons of bronze fashioned by inferior artisans. Some of us will return, some of us won't, and through the entire process we will learn, be edified, live life, be more than what we are. Even in death we will have added to the whole that is the universe.
{DONG}
As we are about to embarked a sound like I've never heard permeates the air stopping the world in its tracks. It rings as if a toll has been rung and is heard throughout the Mayan kingdom.
'You as a people are ready to Ascend if you so choose,' It seems to say though no words have been heard by my ears.

We all suddenly understand as knowledge permeates our minds. There is more to this world than what we currently know, this world isn't even our ancestral home. We have reach a level of spirituality and learning that has surpassed all others in the world at this age. And thus we qualify to Ascend.
And we do, every single one of us. Leaving the earth with nothing but the clothes on our backs and the tools in our hands.
We Ascend to Gaia.

Sway of The Indus Valley
We are an old civilization flourishing between the newly occupied lands of Persia and the old but small people of Kemet.
We trade with India and Sumaria. Our people passing on our learning and spiritual knowledge to the eager Indian tribes and already at a level of chakra awareness that rivals the Ancients. We in the valley facilitate talks and trade amongst the great powers of the world while staying neutral and enlightened against violence even amongst the great rivalries of power in the modern world. None of the pharoahs, kings and queens dare touch us for we have become vital in the flow knowledge and trade facilitating the enrichment of all the world.
We have reach a level were as a people we are transcending the language barrier through crown chakra awareness alone. Our people are balanced in their interaction with the world. Inner balance promoting outer balance as we practice the shudra of self taught to us by the elders.
{Ding...}
'You as a people are ready to Ascend if you so choose,' something says to my mind. I stop to consider this as new knowledge is introduced into my mind.
I am made aware of things I before had no concept of in divine apiphany. Realization comes and many of us take the path to Ascendance without second thought.
Some remain, speaking of what they have seen and remaining with what knowledge of our history they have.

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.

Tales of the Implock - A LitRPG Monster Evolution Story
Nyx - A demon, weak and small, too fleeting of a creature to survive the infernal wastes in which he was born - but after multiple brushes with death, the otherwise inconsequential demon experiences a destiny-changing encounter with an unknown and eccentric god, foreign to this world. Cast from the domains of old and conspiring gods to a land of which is sheltered from the divine, beyond the reach of whence they scheme, the impling who soon would come to be known far and wide as Nyx will find a new purpose. Born of Pride, with the fires of ambition fanned and burning deep within, Nyx will grow, learn, and evolve. From a weak and pathetic impling, to that of a mighty arch demon of untold demonic power, nothing would stand in the way of his ascent. Yet, the yearn of power might not be the only thing the power-manic demon will come to desire as he will encounter others who might just matter as much to him as the ecstasy of power does. [Info]This story features a wide breadth of characters with unconventional views, morals, and actions. There is no black and white - there is only grey. In a world where strength rules, notions of good and evil blur. The protagonist of this story is not a hero. He is not human. He is a megalomaniac demon trying to find his place in the world of which he has been discarded. This novel is my first crack at making something serious, a piece of work I can be proud of. It is a part of a bigger universe that I am creating, The Aethos, and I fully intend for this story to be professionally edited, then self-published on Amazon. The novel will continue on for a long adventure, as each arc will be made into a proper book. Therefore I heavily encourage feedback and interaction. Anything to improve my story and my writing is greatly appreciated. Thank you, and welcome to the Aethos. [Schedule] - Five chapters a week. [Discord] - Here

Then I wrote more, and more, and realized that I had a lot more than any sane RPG player should write about their character...
