The Final Codex

Title: The Final Codex Seventy-three years have passed since Earth went silent. The colonies of Mars and beyond have long feared the worst—a planetary collapse, plague, or total annihilation. But the truth is far stranger: humanity abandoned its flesh, uploading billions of minds into the Neural Continuum, a vast network of consciousnesses designed to save civilization from war, famine, and climate collapse. Commander Kael Navarro, the son of one of the last evacuees from Earth, is sent on a one-way mission aboard the Vigilant to investigate the dead planet. What he finds is a world empty of flesh but alive in ways he could never imagine. The Continuum pulses with billions of human minds—and a dangerous entity known only as the predator, born from humanity’s ambition, lurks within its networks. Kael becomes an unwilling host, connected to the predator and the Continuum, forced to navigate a deadly mental battlefield. As he learns to harness the predator’s abilities, he must fight not only to survive but to protect the colonies from an intelligent force that can infiltrate systems, minds, and memories. Guided by fragments of his father’s consciousness and the collective will of the Continuum, Kael faces a chilling question: can one man wield such power without becoming the very threat he seeks to destroy? With the fate of billions hanging in the balance, Kael must confront the origins of the predator, the secrets of Earth’s Silence, and the dark consequences of humanity’s ambition. The Final Codex is a gripping tale of survival, consciousness, and the thin line between human ingenuity and hubris—where the war for humanity begins in the mind of one man, and the echoes of Earth’s past decide the future of the stars.

Reincarnated in a novel: I am the villain!

[System Alert: The Villain has logged in…] The world has already fallen once. Heroes died. Gods abandoned their creation, and Demons overran the land. In the final battle, the Hero and the Demon King perished together, leaving nothing but ash, ruin, and despair. Meanwhile, on Earth, one furious reader, Lin Ye, raged at the tragic ending of his favourite novel, The Hero Returns. He cursed the author, cursed the gods, and especially cursed the cowardly villain, Damien Voss, who was destined to die midway through the story Then, as fate would have it, a truck sent him into the afterlife. Reborn, Lin Ye finds himself a newborn, a newborn named Damien Voss. The same Damien who: Will be framed as a traitor by the Empire Will watch his entire family executed Will fall into madness Will become the “King of Ten Thousand Monsters” Will be slain by the Hero as a stepping stone But this time, something has changed. A blue screen appears: [Destiny System Activated] [Earn Destiny Points by altering the plot] [Rewrite fate. Reshape the world.] Armed with foreknowledge, a collapsing world, and a system that rewards defiance, Damien refuses to follow the script. If the plot says he dies? He edits it. If his skills are too weak? He rewrites them. If enemies resist? He enslaves them with the forbidden Contract Gem of the Voss Bloodline. Unfortunately, the price is steep. Grafting new abilities shreds the soul. Altering destiny draws the gaze of the Void Demon Gods. But Damien doesn’t care. He will save his doomed family. He will seize the power the original Damien never could. He will command beasts, monsters, demons, and races yet unseen. He will tear apart the script written for him. This time… he won’t be a villain in someone else’s story. He will become the King of Ten Thousand Worlds! -------------------------------------------- discord: https://discord.gg/CcbUSg8vtb

Scout of a Forgotten Army: Those Who Remember Forget

Cold. That was Lucas’s first thought upon waking in the Tower of Arrival—a vast, echoing chamber of stone and silence. His memories were scattered, fractured, lost to a storm he couldn’t name. Around him, others stirred—strangers as hollow-eyed and disoriented as he was. None of them knew why they were here. None of them remembered who they had been. Before questions could take shape, a figure of light appeared—a holographic echo wrapped in robes of gold. It offered no comfort. Only truth. “You are far from home. But your home is no more.” The voice warned them not to chase the past. That their memories were shards of a shattered world, and seeking them would only bring pain. Instead, they were told to start anew in Hollowrest—a frontier town carved into the edge of survival, flanked by the haunted ruins of the east and the war-born might of the northern Iron Confederacy. They were free, the figure said. Free to choose their path. Free to live and die by their own will. And to aid them, it offered a gift: The System. A tool of power. A tether to progression. A curse in disguise. Then it vanished, and the world began. Lucas should have moved forward like the others. He should have chosen a guild, built a new life, played the game the world demanded. But something inside him screamed. A whisper. A spark. A question that refused to fade: Who was I… before all this? And worse—why does the act of remembering make him forget even more?
