Nexus: New World
After an unexpected accident cut his life short, Elias found himself reincarnated in a completely different realm, thanks to the whim of a celestial being seeking to right a cosmic mistake. As a form of compensation, the deity granted Elias a second chance in a fantastical land teeming with sorcery, mythical beasts, and blade-wielding warriors.
However, this new world was far from ideal. Trapped in a time resembling Earth's distant past, it lacked modern conveniences—no electricity, no sanitation systems, and certainly none of the technology Elias had once taken for granted.
Luckily, the divine gift came with a twist: a powerful enhancement and a digital companion known as Nexus-1, a hyper-intelligent AI. Armed with this advantage, Elias began reshaping the world around him. Drawing inspiration from the comforts of his former life, and blending it with the limitless potential of magic, he set out to build a civilization more advanced—and more magical—than anything he'd known before.

Chapter: Chapter 71: The Arcane Audit of Lyta Chapter 71: The Arcane Audit of Lyta A week had passed since Elias, scion of the Holloway lineage, graced the ancestral estate nestled within the Falcon region to commemorate his mother's natal day. Now, his gaze turned toward the burgeoning state of Lyta, his enterprise rooted in the heart of Falconridge. Within the sanctum of her office, Christabel, Elias's devoted stewardess, meticulously transcribed company reports by the soft luminescence of a lumen crystal. Suddenly, the crystal's glow wavered, casting her shadow into a form both unfamiliar and foreboding. "Christabel, I come bearing presence," Elias's voice resonated, materializing from the ether. Swiftly, Christabel adjusted her demeanor, turning to receive the Young Master. She bowed toward the chamber's corner, where Elias emerged from the void. "It has been some time, Young Master," Christabel greeted. "Apologies, matters in the Ashed Lands demanded my attenti

Chapter: Chapter 70: The Celestial Bloom of Layla's SolsticeChapter 70: The Celestial Bloom of Layla's Solstice The dusk-woven silence of the Holloway estate lay heavy upon Lady Layla’s heart as she gazed through the enchanted glass panes of her high chamber. Though seasons had changed since Elias had departed upon his path of destiny, not a day had passed without her spirit echoing with the hollow ache of his absence. Restless beneath her silken canopy, Layla drifted from her resting chambers into the grand halls of the manor—each corridor an echo of her son’s arcane presence. Every detail breathed his memory. She wandered into the kitchensanctum, where the housemaids toiled with murmured efficiency. Their hands moved over flowglyph arrays—glimmering rune-latticed spouts that poured water at Elias’s once-unimaginable design. The whisper of water was a gentle hymn to his ingenuity. Outside, in the shade of the ancient moonwillow trees, Luke and the other steward-knigh

Chapter: Chapter 69: The Surge of Souls Beneath the Mirage SuChapter 69: The Surge of Souls Beneath the Mirage SunThrough the ashen dunes of the Falcon Wastes, where the sun’s fury carved mirages into the horizon and the wind whispered with the voices of dead tribes, a wandering band of twenty or so desert-dwelling Simians trudged onward. These desperate folk, leathery-skinned from sun-scorch and despair, were driven not by logic, but by the final ember of hope that clung to a tale—a tale of a fabled sanctum where thirst and hunger held no dominion.In truth, no creature possessed of sense would grant credence to such myth. A “paradise,” they were told—some hidden bastion in the Wastes where one might drink crystalline water until the belly sloshed, feast upon bounty until nightfall without fear of famine, and most blasphemous of all, partake in such wonders without bartering coin or servitude. The only price? A contribution of one’s talents to the settlement.A delusion, surely. And yet, desperation, tha

Chapter: Chapter 68: The Pilgrimage of the Parched KinChapter 68: The Pilgrimage of the Parched KinIn the heart of the newly awakened sanctuary nestled upon the fringes of the Ashed Lands, a wondrous metamorphosis had taken root—an era of illumination had dawned upon the HobMankeys’ once-forgotten hamlet.Gone were the days when they labored under the unrelenting sun to haul water through crude buckets and rotting pulleys. With the activation of a gleaming stormcore engine—gifted by the boundless insight of Elias, the Radiant Prodigy of House Holloway—the entire village had been laced with glowing aqueduct veins, veins that pulsed with arcane essence and delivered fresh water through flowglyph arrays to every sanctum and shelter.The sacred task of replenishing the high basin that served the village had been entrusted to an enchanted siphon node, a marvel born of Elias’s sacred schematics—long-lost relics of a vanished age where mystics once melded artifice and spell.Water, once more precious than

Chapter: Chapter 67: The Spark of New DawnChapter 67: The Spark of New DawnElias sprang from his bed, his heart pounding with excitement. His eyes locked on Kong, his mind racing with possibilities."It is working?" Elias inquired, his voice a mix of anticipation and hope."It is working, Boss!" Kong's voice rang out, brimming with confidence.Without a moment’s hesitation, they both darted from the residence, racing past the still-constructed houses of their village, their feet pounding on the cold ground. Kong, as always, had to weave through the same obstacles as before, while Elias soared effortlessly above, his small body skimming the air with supernatural ease. His destination was clear: the grand structure looming in the distance—a symbol of their vision and toil.The edifice before them was a monolith of progress, constructed from stone and reinforced by mystical runes. Smoke spiraled from vents on its peak, the exhaust carrying a faint trace of sulfur and promise. This

Chapter: Chapter 66: The Gathering of the TribeChapter 66: The Gathering of the TribeBefore Elias took the crucial step of exporting his enchanted concrete, he had the foresight to ensure that a considerable supply of it was stockpiled in the village. After all, this humble settlement, half-swallowed by the arid Ashed Lands, would require vast quantities of this substance to complete the construction of the homes and towers that would rise upon the land. A village so small now would, in time, be brimming with life, and its expansion would demand the unyielding strength of Elias's creations.Thus, he had dispatched several of the HobMankeys to venture deep into the dry desert, seeking a worthy quarry for lime—a key ingredient in his concrete. Their journey had proved fruitful, for they returned bearing news of a rich vein of limestone, not far from their current domain. The windswept dust of the Ashed Lands had hidden it well, but their diligent search had paid off.Elias, with a mind for the long game

They burned with arcane energy, turning them into molten projectiles that hissed through the air, melting through stone upon impact.Bo's smirk vanished.She twisted midair, firing again but this time, something was different.A bullet she shot was no ordinary bullet.It shimmered as it spun, cutting through the air unnaturally fast. The moment it made contact with the gunner's bullets, an explosion erupted midair, canceling out the projectiles.The gunner's eyes went wide.Bo landed gracefully on the ground, rolling her shoulders before exhaling another puff of smoke.

His blade extended with a curved shape while reflecting the unusual battlefield illumination. His armor displayed a smooth dark finish which mirrored the diamond landscape that surrounded him.His mission was clear.Hold the line.

Chapter: Chapter 40: The Diamond Guardian 3Chapter 40: The Diamond Guardian 3The blonde warrior's hands shook slightly while his hands remained partially frozen from the diamond mushroom's destructive beam attack. His grip on his sword tightened as his face became stern. The priestess standing next to him showed signs of recovery after using her immense power to protect them from death.But even after all that.They were still here.And worse.They weren't backing down.The sunglasses covering its playful blue eyes emitted a dim light while the creature raised its head to soak in the sun's rays.
