Zerk World) Zombo Stars

Werewolves: The Apocalypse — The Book of Hungry Names (Now with 98% more ecological guilt and 100% less graphics) You and your band of traumatized werewolves (read: a group of poorly resolved furry therapists) must save the Living Earth using two infallible ingredients: homicidal rage and questionable spirituality. In this interactive novel with hundreds of choices (most leading to inevitable doom), you'll have the chance to face a Wyrm Spirit that manifests itself as... a lie you really want to believe. Like that voice that says "I'll start my diet tomorrow." Only with more cosmic destruction. Written by Kyle Marquis and set in the wonderful (cough) universe of World of Darkness, this epic without a single image (but with 1.6 million words, in other words, an abusive relationship with reading) is fueled solely by the most powerful thing in the world: your imagination that has already failed three college entrance exams. You are a werewolf. And like all good werewolf, you are a mix of: Shaman who thinks meditation cures demonic migraines, Hero that nobody asked for, Monster with existential crises, And sustainability consultant for Mother Gaia (bankrupt, of course). Created by the goddess of the Earth, you were gifted with the ability to turn into a wolf (in other words, walk around naked with style), and tasked with the noble mission of preventing humanity from turning the planet into a cosmic McTrash. But guess what? You failed. Congratulations. Three years ago, your pack was part of the Sept of Broad Brook, Massachusetts (land of maple syrup and spiritual doom), where werewolves still pretended they had a chance against the Wyrm — the spirit of destruction, chaos, and people who comment “first” on YouTube. While other Septs fell like dominoes at a satanic rave, yours was there, firm, strong, and deluded. Some said you would prevent the Apocalypse. Others just thought it was funny to watch the circus burn. Now, all that’s left is for you to pick up the pieces (literally), avoid becoming an evil spirit’s kibble, and, who knows, write your name in the Book of Hungry Names — the one that eats hopes, New Year’s promises, and happy endings. Do you want me to adapt this to become the introduction to chapter 1 as well? Of course! Here's a Desciclopédia-style warning, with a touch of acid and humor, that you can put at the beginning of your story on Wattpad to make everything clear: WARNING BEFORE SOME LITIGIOUS SPIRIT COMES TO BARK This work is a humorous reinterpretation (read: full of irony, sarcasm, dark humor and some inconvenient truths) based on the style of interactive stories like those from Choice of Games. But, before anyone calls the lawyers or invokes the spirit of copyright, let's make something VERY clear: This is not plagiarism. It's parody. It's a joke. It's entertainment. (And, let's be honest, not even Mother Gaia would bother to sue.) The writing adopted follows the Desciclopédia style, that is: Nothing is sacred. Everything can be a joke. If you get offended, congratulations, the system worked. This is a tongue-in-cheek homage to the classics of the genre, using the interactive format to tell stories that are bizarre, tragic, hilarious, and incredibly stupid (sometimes all at the same time). None of the original Choice of Games content was copied directly—only the structure was inspired, because let’s face it, reinventing the wheel is a lot of work. If you want an epic journey with deep moral dilemmas, go play the original. If you want to laugh at your own misfortune while turning into a werewolf and punching mystical capitalism with your paws, go ahead. It’s your house.

Enslaved by Fantasy

The protagonist of the story, Xiaohuo, is just an ordinary young man, but his fate is completely rewritten during a journey to Mayan ruins. An accident caused him to fall into a mysterious cave with an underground stream, where he obtained an ancient box. At first, Xiaohuo didn't understand what was so special about this box. Until he opened it out of curiosity, more than a hundred miniature elves flew out and disappeared between heaven and earth in an instant. Xiaohuo thought it was just a fantasy illusion, but he didn't expect that these elves would quietly change his life. After returning to the city, Xiaohuo's life gradually changed. He found that one after another, strangers or familiar people around him suddenly obeyed him unconditionally, and even took the initiative to provide him with various kinds of help, whether in terms of material, power, or even physical devotion. These people come from all walks of life, including wealthy ladies, school beauties, popular female stars, and even gang bosses. Xiaohuo soon realized that all this was related to the elves released from the box. Everyone who is possessed by the spirit becomes his unconditional slave. He originally just wanted to live an ordinary life, but now he has power and temptation, and is caught in the tug-of-war between desire and morality. This sudden dominance made him enjoy an unprecedented sense of pleasure and satisfaction on the one hand, but on the other hand he was struggling deep in his heart - should he obey his instinct and enjoy it all, or should he try to break the spell of slavery? As time went on, Xiaohuo discovered that he was doing more than just collecting slaves and enjoying pleasure. The expansion of power brings more pressure and crisis - some high-ranking people in society begin to notice something unusual; the emotional entanglements and jealousy among the enslaved people are also secretly fermenting; and the true origins of the mysterious box and the elf seem to hide a bigger conspiracy. Under the interweaving of desire, power, love and crisis, Xiaohuo gradually learns to control his own destiny and embarks on a fantasy adventure belonging to the "Lord of the Lark". This is not only a story about a man's happy life, but also a profound exploration of human nature, choice and freedom - when you gain supreme power, will you become a savior, or fall into the abyss of darkness?

The Ancient Slaughterer

Book Title: " The Ancient Slaughterer" Genre: Action, Drama, Fantasy, Military, Shonen Setting: The world of Euryn is a fractured land encased by colossal concentric Runestone Barriers, ancient magical walls created to protect humanity from the wrath of Ancients, godlike primal creatures that once nearly annihilated all life. These barriers were erected by the Twelve Arcanums, a legendary group of warriors who sacrificed their lives to seal away the Ancients. Their spirits now reside within twelve Guardian Ancients, enormous entities that once kept watch over the remaining cities. The last major human stronghold is Vandrel, a militaristic fortress nation that is guarded by an elite order known as the Requiem Order. The Order is tasked with fighting the Ancients using special weapons: Titanium Blades capable of weakening Ancients, Gliders for transport, and Cannons that assist in defense but can’t destroy the Ancients. As time has passed, humanity’s fight against the creatures has become a routine struggle—until the wall begins to crack. Story Overview: For centuries, humanity has lived in relative peace behind the Runestone Barriers, which keep the terrifying Ancients at bay. However, cracks are beginning to appear. In the city of Vandrel, the military maintains strict control as they prepare for an inevitable conflict. But an unexpected twist occurs when the Last Guardian Ancient—one of the twelve protectors—falls during a battle between the Ancients and a Guardian Ancient within the city, crushing the protagonist’s home in the process. The protagonist, Elian Fyre (MC), a timid and good-hearted young man, witnesses the collapse of his family’s home and the imminent threat of death as an Ancient approaches his younger sister. In a desperate, last-minute bid to protect her, Elian eats the flesh of a Guardian Ancient, unwittingly transforming into a hybrid being—part human, part Ancient. This transformation unlocks enormous power, allowing him to defeat the Ancients threatening his sister but at a steep cost: his new power is uncontrolled, leading to devastation and the injury of his sister. The government, realizing Elian's potential as the first person in 500 years to consume an Ancient and return to human form, takes him into custody. He’s forced to become a soldier in the Requiem Order, despite his reluctance and the trauma of his sister's injuries. With his new power, Elian must fight the Ancients while struggling to keep his humanity intact.
