By the Grace of God

After a mysterious book appears on his shelf, Konrad Weiss, a history teacher, gives in to a temptation he’d normally resist. He plagiarizes its contents, unaware that the book is a gateway to another world. And, unfortunately, finds himself dragged into that very world, a place of horrors, magic, and secrets hidden from mankind's eyes. In the age he now inhabits, history and mythology have become indistinguishable. In the year 2065, following the Third World War, Espers pursue the mysteries of the body through science and physical evolution, while Magicians delve into the mysteries of the soul and the Supernatural. Each has their own goals, but they share a common purpose of combating the horrors within the dimensional portals, confronting the unknown, as well as negotiating humanity's survival with the gods. And here knowledge is feared, forbidden, and sought after by only a select few. But as fate would have it, Konrad is what one might call... a seeker of knowledge.

Cultivation of Sword Arts to Immortality

Inspired by the masterpiece Reverend Insanity, Desire was once an ordinary human from Earth who was abruptly ripped away from his modern life and thrown into the brutal, lawless world of the Myriad Edge Continent. In his first life, he lived through misery, betrayal, and relentless struggle. For six hundred and fifty years, he shed every trace of useless sympathy, moral weakness, and naive emotion. He learned that in a world ruled by strength and swords, only personal benefits and eternal life truly matter. He schemed against righteous sects, butchered demonic path masters, and climbed over mountains of corpses to reach the peak of mortal power, only to perish under the siege of countless enemies before he could step into the immortal ranks. Yet death was not his end. Carrying six hundred and fifty years of memories, cruel wisdom, and complete knowledge of future events, Desire awakens in his youthful body on the very day he first arrived on the Myriad Edge Continent. Surrounded by bewildered mortals who still cling to illusions of justice and modern ethics, Desire looks at the vast world with eyes as cold as ancient ice. He does not seek revenge, nor does he care for petty hatred. He cares only for one absolute goal: cultivating the supreme sword arts to attain true immortality. To achieve this, he will manipulate friends and foes alike, sacrifice entire kingdoms, and exploit every resource without hesitation.

Fallout Odyssey

No one remembers how it started. By the time it mattered, it no longer did. The War had dragged on for years. Borders were redrawn in blood and cities were emptied, until the nations of the world, desperate for an ending, reached for the weapons they had sworn never to use. Nuclear fire lit the skies, engineered plagues drifted on the wind. For a moment it seemed to have worked, and the fighting stopped, but the poisoning didn't. Plants grew twisted, animals turned into things that had no names and people changed too, though never in the same way. Some were untouched, some went mad, many simply died. The lucky few who changed differently woke to find something new inside them, a power unlike anyone else’s. They called these gifts Manifests, no two ever alike. The world that rose from the ashes of that war would come to be known as The Fallout.
