Summary
Now, slowly, Soobin smiles back. “If I were afraid, it would not be my destiny.”
(A palace in mourning, a nation in turmoil, a budding revolution; at the forefront of the chaos are five boys, born warriors and fated kings, each fighting a war primarily against himself.)

Summary
In the days following the core collapse the drones of Copper-9 rose from its ashes to rebirth society anew. The tribulations, struggles and accomplishments of these drones were swept away in the chaos of the companies return. But this history was never forgotten, for those who lived through it all, the core collapse, the chaos, violence and hope of the early days, to the great tragedy of the Murder drones arrival. In the hard drives and in their cold steel hearts the memories of the days before the doors must be chronicled and remembered, an old drone takes on this task, to remember the dreams they once had, and the path that led them to the recesses of the earth. Before the disassemblers, before the doors, there was a dream, a world of drones where their destinies were their own and the world theirs to fight over - this is that tale, from beginning to end of the great nations of old new Copper-9.
This is the Tale of Three Doors, from the days before its inception, to the day the last bulwark closed their hopes to the world. A chronicle of the rise and fall of drone society on Copper-9.

and i am gifted for it.
for that i shall bask myself in your glory. for that i shall sing your song to sleep, a deep eternal sleep. -

Summary
Everyone loves their first Isekai!
Probably.
Look, to me it doesn't seem like a faulty assumption- you're depressed, you're on boring old vanilla Earth, and then you get tossed into a world with a family that loves you, enemies you can beat, and social issues that while very sad and in need of resolution, ultimately don't affect you.That was great! I loved that. Was wonderful for my mental health.
Getting dumped into the flaming dumpster fire that is Terra, pulled away from my happy life with my family? Not a big fan of that. One star. Would not recommend.
Hey, at least I can punch some of my problems away. That's something, right?Series

Summary
With America embroiled in the all-encompassing inequities of the Gilded Age, as industrialists make their riches while the workers fight for their freedoms, a teenager's vicious account of a Chicago riot comes to color the class tensions of the era.
In this short piece of historical fiction, an ode to peaceful demonstration comes crashing down as bodies tangle and lives are lost, and violence remains the only path to salvation.
Contains light gore. Enjoy.

Summary
“You thought I needed cheering up, like a child?” He says, trying to alleviate his giggles, and only partially succeeding. “That is the opposite of flattering, Zhongli. You’re correct, that does further my perception that you think of me as weak and insignificant.” He turns away, moving to go grab his discarded boots and jacket.
“No, that is not what I think at all. Your strength could be greater than Celestia itself, and I would still have given you my coat.”
Tartaglia stops.
For Tartaglia, it’s easier to lie to himself than to anyone else.

Summary
Two citizens of Controversiapolis are tired of being mere thought exercises for those who increasingly disregard their humanity and history. They seek a change, for neither insanity nor drunkenness are good solutions, and not even black humour is much armour.
