Reluctant Stories

He saved the world. Now he must survive what it cost. Ash never wanted a throne. He took power because the old world had no heart-because hunger, indifference, and broken systems were crushing humanity long before any war began. Now, the Empire stands. The sick are treated. The hungry are fed. The broken are no longer abandoned. But beneath the Empire, the Forge still burns. Deep within the mountain, the Gene Forge remakes the willing into Legionnaires-or destroys them in the attempt. And with every sacrifice, the questions grow harder: how much suffering can be justified in the name of love? How much power can one man carry before mercy begins to look like tyranny? Some call him savior. Some call him monster. Ash calls it burden. And he will bear anything to keep the world from becoming what it was again.

Shen Tang awoke on her path of exile to find that this world was utterly unscientific. Divine stones rained from the heavens, and a hundred nations vied for power. With a honed literary heart, words became reality. With courage gathered in a warrior's spirit, mountains were cleaved and seas divided. The seemingly weak pretty boy she knew, with a single declaration of "Charge on horseback!", instantly found himself clad in armor, a long spear in hand, becoming an army of one, capable of slaughtering his way through enemy lines seven times over! The consumptive wretch in her eyes, by chanting "Stars scattered across a chessboard," transformed the heavens into a round canopy and the land into a chessboard, arranging troops with effortless ease! This wasn't just unscientific anymore! This was the coffin lid of science being nailed shut by theology! And as for her- "My Lord, the Northern Commandery is suffering a severe drought, perhaps you should shed some tears?" Shen Tang: "..." "My Lord, the Southern Province is flooded, perhaps you should laugh more?" Shen Tang: "..." -------- Looking at the ten bowls of rice she had devoured, her pocket cleaner than her face, and a group of starving, ill-intentioned villagers constantly stirring up trouble, the village chief Shen Tang, suspected to be the reincarnation of a bottomless pit and a true 'soul painter' (someone who draws poorly but passionately), had no choice but to abandon her beloved paintbrushes and reluctantly embark on the path of a warlord. join patreon.com/worldoffanfiction for advanced chapters and support the daily update

She avoids drama but knows when to stand her ground. A collector of tiny joys- in a library corners, and in an evening sunset-she finds beauty in the little things. A hopeless romantic at heart, she dreams of love stories that feel like poetry. Her presence is soft yet unforgettable-like a dreamy melody that lingers.

He actually cares. A lot. He doesn't show it much, but if he lets you in - you're not just important, you're everything.And once you've seen that side of him... there's no unseeing it.

"You know how angels are supposed to be kind, loving, mature, and all in all are supposed to guide you to do the right choices? Supposed to give you hope, and not tell you 'Don't look at me, you're the one who's supposed to die tomorrow'? Then I got the real sucky angels, because they gave speeches worth sh*t" ---------------------------------- A prophecy to destroy worlds. A hope to save them all. A hope, suspected to be kind, selfless, and wise upon their years. Unfortunately for the realms of Aether, Gaia, and Nether, the hope turned out to be none of these. Adrianna Summers' life was turned upside down when she found out by sheer coincidental accident (a.k.a: A planned attack by demons) that for the past 17 years of her life, her fate was to die a horrible, painful death as a sacrifice for the 3 worlds to live on in peace, hope, and balance, and not to be destroyed, and that she has been protected (and possibly guided by) 6 angels, all of whom have met her previously in her life, and have been observing (*cough* creeping *cough*) her to protect her. Worst of all, she's expected to just willingly die for 2 realms she hasn't even seen! Ya, not happening. Can the angels convince Adrianna to change her mind? Can they stop the worlds from crumbling apart? Will Adrianna accept her already decided fate? Or will she change her fate, and leave the worlds to crumble?
