Humans Can Lick Too

A special day has come, a day that Earth has awaited for oh so long. The day where they are finally going to try and run the reactor. This had been long-awaited and everyone dropped off their kids with a hint of dread. Hoping that nothing would go wrong, we know it did. Since, else, there would not be a story. I won't go into too much detail, but only simply explain what happened. Due to some malfunctioning and incorrect assumptions, the reactor overproduced energy. Something which should have been impossible according to all the known knowledge of a really advanced Earth. I mean, they have even started colonizing planets. Have done countless simulations and even built test stations in space. Yet now, something had gone when they did the same on earth. Bizarre, right? This malfunctioning and imploding of the reactor caused a massive explosion due to the instability of space itself. This is also what allowed the story to exist, as our main characters were all transported. The method is not known, nor why they survived. We can say it is for the story, for now... They all now find themselves on Ethos, eating a mouthful of dirt as they struggled for breath. Some find their situation horrible, others find it relaxing and peaceful. Some see death, others see life. Despair and hope, madness and sanity on an edge. What has fate given you? Welcome to Ethos, a planet of magic. Welcome to Ethos, a planet orbiting an exotic star. Ethos wishes you luck in surviving. Maybe, just maybe... You can someday go back, or not.

Ethan's treated real bad by his rich wife, Amelia and her Family . One day, he watched helplessly as his wife cheat on him in their matrimonial bed with another guy, while forced to cook for them and sent on errand to buy condom too: Oh, yes. You must prepare a special dinner tonight. Richard loves the lobster risotto. Don't mess it up this time. And, um, make sure you buy... condom on your way back from the market. You know, just in case." "Condom? And who is Richard? Amelia, this is getting out of hand. I can't keep doing this." "Ethan, don't be difficult. This is what I expect from you. Just do as you're told, and maybe you won't mess things up for once." "I'm not your servant, Amelia. This has to stop. I won't be a part of this anymore." "Oh, please. You're just a lowly cook. Who else would want you? Now, do as you're told, or there will be consequences."

How can the death of a simple man lead to the awakening of forces as fearsome as the Deorgh? Mihdel, divided into five kingdoms, has lived in peace for many years but the discovery of a corpse in the capital of the kingdom of Haefest seems to bring a great misfortune to the kingdoms, causing a series of events that will affect all cities around the continent, causing fear and turmoil among the people of Mihdel and only a few will try to convince the kings that this is the awakening of a terrible force that has been dormant for years. A force that has been gathering and preparing for hundreds of years on the other side of the world, on the old continent of Cynemon, ready to depart for the five realms to bring destruction and death in an attempt to awaken a dark force now dormant for millennia. Such a threat will force the descendants of five pure warriors, the Sunaura, to work together, to face their past and come to terms with it and so they will embark on a journey of rediscovering themselves and their destiny and a force far greater than any they have ever faced in their life, forcing them to rediscover their gifts and face their feelings such as love , power, betrayal, revenge, without knowing that this will lead them back to the past that they had tried to hide for too long.

"I've been humiliated for too long. Now you will all pay. It will be my pleasure to return every spite you have directed at me, you damned losers."

When the demon finally harnessed human sins and negative emotions to harvest negative energy, it opened a spatial gate to the planets that were already ravaged by monsters and teeming with dark creatures. The beasts and monsters passed through the gate, unleashing havoc upon Earth. These monstrous creatures caused destruction on a massive scale, pushing the earth toward an apocalyptic catastrophe. In this dark time, The Creator granted certain humans the ability, marked by symbols on their right hands, to wield the power of gods and angels to combat these dark creatures. My ability was 'Overthinking,' the weakest, but with hard work, I persisted for 60 years to become the most powerful and the savior of the world. However, in my final moments, I was betrayed by a friend who was born rich and noble, who forced me to die to obtain everything I had worked so hard for. Nevertheless, before my demise, I sent my memories back to my younger years. This time, I will obtain everything: the best items, the finest women, and the most potent abilities. All will be mine!

May 14, 1945. Work carried out by the Third Reich was brought to light and made it possible to reveal a secret buried for too long: humanity was not alone on Earth. From this discovery were born protest movements against races that had just come out of the shadows. Fifteen years after the capitulation of Germany and its allies, the outbreak of World War III once again plunged the whole world into chaos. Twenty years later, the period that survivors renamed Dark Silence ended hostilities. In 1983, an agreement was established between human governments and nonhuman rulers. All beings endowed with intelligence created Cicerone, in order to maintain and guarantee interspecific peace. The future was assured, and in everyone was born the desire to move forward, forgetting the grudges of the past. Unfortunately, the bitterness never completely dies, and within the nascent rebellions reappears a prophecy, which can overthrow the powerful of this world. One of them wants more than anything to get his hands on this legend, before others seize it before him. He is capable of all madness to avoid his fall, even if it means pushing his prey to its last entrenchments, until it loses a part of her... and steals a piece of her soul.

"Kill it! It's a defect! A stain like that has no right to exist in our city!" I looked at the small, pathetic puddle of black ink at my feet. The High Inquisitor’s laughter echoed through the hall, followed by the mocking sneers of the elite. My family’s last hope was crushed. My rank was zero. My future was a death sentence. But as the guard’s boot came down to crush my "beast," the world went cold. "Don't," I whispered. It was too late. The shadow didn't die. It opened its mouth. One gulp. That was all it took for a Rank-B knight to vanish into the darkness. In a world where Beast Tamers are kings and ranks are law, I was born a zero. They called my summon a "Formless Blob." They sentenced us to death before we could even breathe. Little did they know, my beast isn't from this world. It doesn't have a rank because the system can't measure the Abyss. It doesn't have a limit because it grows by eating everything they hold dear. Ranks? Social status? Respect? My shadow is hungry. And today, the elites are on the menu.

The voice of an angel proclaims, «earth is now a battlefield... War is coming, you have been chosen...» "What war? And chosen for what?" Gabriel asked with a wondering eye, «Will you be able to accept responsibilities, Gabriel? It is going to be one hell of a ride, but you will have celestial support» "I will!" He passionately accepted. «The war of the end of ages and there are going to be some friends like you, friends you must find and unite yourself with. You will defend this earth from the invaders. Your rivals shall possess men by day to usurp authority and by night they shall resurface as demon creatures, many people may suppose they are aliens, but I am preinforming you before time to know that they will invade earth to kill and end lives — a system of destruction. Only you can resist them now. Earth has been given to you to dominate and I can not break ranks because I have been constrained to attend to heavenly matters. It's up to you to not fail your world.» The angel of light took off from the terrestrial with its large wings. Gabriel cried, saying, "Wait, you have not given me any abilities yet!" «Search inwards, it's in you, Gab! You already know how to summon me when you need me!» "Wait! How?" Gabriel yelled, but it was too late now: the star was gone and it was up to him to take up responsibility. Everything about his supposed weakness changed when he woke up to discover angelic wings attached to his skin and an $80billion transfer to his bank account... A war between forces of dominion is activating...

Han Sen was the "Invincible Man" of Nova-Tech, a bottom-tier runner, who took the fall for executive failures just to pay his sister’s ICU bills. He was the man who had nothing, until the CEO’s son took even that, leaving him broken and bleeding in a rain-slicked gutter. But Han Sen didn't die. He woke up with the Absolute Equity System. In a city where the elite treat humans like disposable assets, Han Sen is now the ultimate Auditor. Through his eyes, everything has a visible price tag: from a bodyguard's loyalty and a rival’s luck to a tycoon’s remaining years of life. He isn't interested in joining the one percent. He’s here to liquidate them. From the high-rises of the financial district to the hidden fortresses of ancient martial clans, Han Sen is beginning a cold, calculated climb. He’s done taking the blame—now, he’s collecting the debt. And for those who crossed him, the cost is everything.

What would you do if one day, monsters appeared in your world? Will you fight to save someone? Perhaps you will fight for your life? Tejasv, a common man, faced a similar situation when monsters appeared in his home. They killed his mother, the only person in his family. Out of rage, he kills the monsters brutally. Suddenly, a voice enters his ears: Beep! Beep! ==== [Congratulations! You are qualified to live in this new world.] [You have gained territory. Fight others and build your territory stronger.] == == A system screen appears and gives skills to all humans. It encourages people to fight and invade. Now the world is being invaded by monsters and other races. Humans are forced to fight and defend their territories as lords or as subordinates of someone strong. Now, what would Tejasv do to survive? Maybe he will find a strong lord or gather strong subordinates. Will he become prey, hunter, or conqueror?
