Level Up The Colony

[WSA ENTRY 2025] ... "There is no god, only the echo of our fears, bound together in a symphony of false hope, woven to make this endless cycle of pain bearable... But I refuse to be just another note in their song. I will not be silenced to protect the gate you so desperately uphold. I don’t care for the blind masses; they are but shadows, moving without purpose. If I cannot run, I will walk. If I cannot walk, I will crawl. If I cannot crawl, I will roll. And if all that remains of me is a severed head, then I will still glare at you with the scorn of the relentless." ... In a world where Hunters fight to keep humanity safe from monstrous invasions, Timothy Walter is nothing more than an E-rank weakling, expendable, powerless, and barely surviving. That changes when a forgotten dungeon forces him into a deadly trial, awakening ancient rulers from across races. Bound to the weakest among them, he inherits a power unlike any other: "King Player." Now, with a system that defies all logic, Timothy must carve his path, facing enemies both human and monstrous, as he ascends from the lowest depths to claim a throne none believed he could reach. AUTHORS NOTE: I put it under a restricted audience because of the following reasons; There is a huge amount of blood and gore meaning a lot of action and adventure. An equally adequate amount of romance with a pinch of R18 just to emphasize the points. Don't take the world-building to heart; Nigeria is better than that Kinda... If you survive the first volume, then keep it up after dropping your thoughts in reviews. I upload 1500+ words per chapter, and that means I may not participate in many chapter giveaways except when milestones are reached. Again, I appreciate your advice, thoughts, and criticism even more. The synopsis will keep changing as the story progresses. And yes, It's the familiar hunter's trope spun around in my head because I love the solo leveling light novel, so... have a fun read, I hope.

The Colony Book 1: Rebellion

Sixteen year old Aine lives in the Colony, and his whole life was decided before he was born. In two years he will marry the girl next door, Brin, who was assigned as his Other at birth. Then he will be given a position in the Colony's workforce that best suits his talents. Each night he takes four pills, like everyone else in the Colony, and he knows the pills keep them safe and their world in order. Everything is fine. Perfect, in fact. Until Aine accidentally drops one of his pills. Terrified, he tries to hide the mistake, but when he dreams for the first time in his life, he discovers all he's been missing. What scares him more than not taking the pill, though, is how alive his dreams make him feel. Because it isn't Brin he dreams of but his best friend Kyer. Another boy. Suddenly Aine's world turns upside down, and he doesn't know what to think or who to trust. All he knows for sure is he's falling in love with Kyer, which is forbidden by the Colony's Code, and he will do anything to protect their budding relationship. Even if it means defying the Overseer and leaving the Colony behind.

Project Axiom: A Post-Apocalyptic Colony Sim Game

Destiny has not been kind to Axel Carter. After graduating from college five years ago, he's still unemployed and spends time playing games on his outdated computer. His favorite game is Project Axiom, a colony simulation set in a futuristic world destroyed by a doomsday event. Entities called the roots of evil emerged in various corners of the world and gave birth to monsters that caused great chaos. The main objective of the game is to form a colony to survive. You must manage them to find food and other needs, as well as make them able to survive the threats of fellow humans, rogue robots, and monsters from the roots of evil. Unfortunately, the developer abandoned the game while it was still in beta. One day, Axel had a heart attack due to fatigue from playing games non-stop for almost two days. He was then reincarnated as a companion drone in the world of Project Axiom. In that cruel world, Axel builds a colony of various beings, humans and robots alike. He also discovered many new features in that world that he didn't find in the Project Axiom he was familiar with. It's like he's playing a more complete version of the game. Can Axel bring his colony to thrive and survive? Is there something more in that world? Will he be able to find the answer to why he was transported to that world? What exactly are the roots of evil?

The real daughter has made the cultivation world crazy

In order to turn the tide in the other world, Lan Zhi was proficient in alchemy, talismans, and arrays. He was familiar with technology and intelligence. He could write in the north and shock ghosts and gods with his sword. Once she returned home, she was still a pitiful little girl with a star vein that had been whipped. The fake daughter who had taken over the magpie's nest could easily decide her life and death. Lan Zhi sneered and jumped off the cliff in front of everyone. If a cripple's body can't handle it, find a Star Academy to hide in. However, the Star Academy was too down and out. She had to spend some effort to help the Star Academy regain its glory after advancing three levels in a row. For example, she had to set a small goal that she could achieve first: He would earn 10 billion first. For this reason, she created an instant messaging tool that was universal in the cultivation world, created an online trading platform that spread throughout the cultivation world, broke the monopoly of aristocratic families 'resources, realized the automatic production of pills, tools, and array talismans, and killed all the filthy beasts that attacked at night with a sword... He also became the richest man in the cultivation world. Everyone scrambled to learn from Lan Zhi. "I'm just familiar with it." Lan Zhi smiled humbly. His words caused the entire cultivation world to go crazy. The fake daughter who thought that she had gotten rid of Lan Zhi turned around and realized that she had lost everything unknowingly. She was both panicked and helpless." Where is the thing that belongs to me?" "I'm sorry, they were all eliminated," Lan Zhiyun said casually. - Lan Zhi was not lacking in wisdom, strategy, and tactics, but he lacked a little warmth. At some point, the Star Spirit God of All Things had quietly arrived by her side and pulled her into his embrace.
