OLD-WORLD EXTRA

{Check out my new novel, I Won't Forgive You!} 'Born In Ruins' was a forgettable read. That was the only way Emir could describe the pages of the novel he had found himself reincarnated into. The young man barely knew anything, but the snippets he had recalled only caused him unending sorrow... As what awaited him was only tragedy and an early death. It was a depressing story, one that he had planned to flip on its head—all for his salvation. — In this post-apocalyptic world, monsters fought humans and cyborgs in a battle for survival on a scale greater than ever before. A world where innocence and death were a luxury, where the line between heroes and villains was razor-thin. Within its expanse, 'Ancient Clans,' 'Galactic Federations,' 'Factions', and 'Corporations' presided over colossal 'Ruins' that dwarfed the concept of life itself. Survivors of the 'Third World War' continuously dove into the 'Old World,' 'Hunting' for 'Relics' in any ruin that they could find on Earth, desperate to reclaim 'Lost' technology, to stand a fighting chance against the inevitable. But it appeared that 'Earthkind' had met their match. …However, Emir would never allow that fate to take its course. — Emir unraveled layers of the tale and realized the truth of the world. He acquainted himself with the rules of this game before it fully consumed him. And now... no longer content with mere survival, he sought to dominate over the very fabric of this unforgiving universe. Emir shall rise from the pawn he once was, seeking to unravel the mysteries that hounded him. The boundaries of 'Aether,' his father’s disappearance, the noose hanging above his family’s head, and of course… his starless destiny, a fate he longed to control. This pursuit would earn him the epithet: "Prince Of The Fallen." ---------------------------------------------- *Tags: Reincarnation ;), Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Magical Realism, Academy (Volume 3), Romance, Apocalypse, {Anti-Hero.

Dangerous Game

***

In a dimly lit room, where the only bright light came from a flickering hologram displaying the training room, sat Emir.

He watched the live feed through the holoscreen, his eyes focused intently on the pitiful girl.

Ragnar and Silent, sitting on either side of him, did the same, but they found it hard to watch Quinn's breakdown.

Only Emir maintained a stoic face, his body still as he listened to her sobs echo through the speakers.

There was a mixture of contentment and cruelty in his gaze.

The others didn't notice it. Ragnar was too busy munching on popcorn, while Silent, holding a soda in one hand, appeared deep in thought.

His usually calm front was slightly disturbed by the raw emotion on display.

"Come on, just read it."

Ragnar muttered under his breath, clearly anxious to see how she would react to the letter Emir had sent her.

Ping!
