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.

The Silent Archive
"C'mon, speak up, why are you acting so cryptic?" Emir asked.
Sounding embarrassed, Kiera said, "Well, it's just that I've been wanting to ask you to come with us to a ruin dive, but we don't have much to give you in return, so I was afraid it might seem like we are taking advantage of you."
He thought about it for a moment and asked, "Why ask for my help now? You guys going to level up?"
She sounded a chuckle as she said, "Yes, after meeting you, I realized that I—we can't go on like this, we have to go to more dangerous ruins if we want to make sure that we will live to see tomorrow."
"I see… Well, good on you, but what are my incentives to join you?"
"We have already decided on this, we would give you half of what we find and pay you 1 million UC. I know that this amount is nothing to you, and I'm embarrassed to even mention it, but that's all we can afford."
Emir paused for a moment.
