Defying Destiny: Chronicles of Civilization

Pewpewlasergun
Lucas had loving parents, childhood friends, and innocent ambitions to one day become a powerful Cultivator define his life. In other words, he was an ordinary boy destined to not leave much of a mark on the world; that is, until a cross-universe accident befalls him on his 9th birthday. Struck by the dying Soul of a man from 28th century Earth, Lucas should have died, but fate apparently had other plans for him. After he awakens, Lucas discovers he possesses memories of a world where science dominates and cultivation is nothing more than fantasy. Rather than dismissing these new memories which seem incompatible with his lived reality, Lucas decides to take advantage of them, aiming to blend the best of both worlds to build a better life for both himself and his loved ones. Unfortunately, this new knowledge is vague, shrouded in a fog that can only be lifted by advancing his strength; hardly an easy task for a countryside boy living on the outskirts of civilization. Even if he does gain access to this knowledge, Lucas still has to find a way to transform it into reality, a slow an arduous process that will require enormous amounts of time, resources, and help from those around him. Lucas doesn’t falter in the face of these challenges and is determined to realize his dreams of establishing a technologically advanced cultivation civilization, but the more progress he makes, and the higher he rises up, the more dangers he encounters, and the more covetous eyes set their sights on what he is trying to build. Will Lucas succeed in changing his destiny, and the destiny of his world, or will destiny consign him to the forgotten annals of history? Only time will tell… ~~~~~~~~ Author notes: First book!

Every movie or drama he worked on gained success. It was 1999 midnight was fast approaching and people were skeptical that the world would end when the clock struck midnight. Then he fell. He fell off his balcony into a cold dark swimming pool covered in ice. But fate had more in store for him. He woke up twenty five years later in a struggling twenty-three-year-old body. ******* A story that follows sunghoon(haru ) through this new life, alongside Raiven a top kpop idol, as they redisvover what love and friendship truly is. ******* ​"I love you. All of you," Haru whispered, his forehead resting against Raiven’s. His arm remained anchored around Raiven's waist, holding him steady, pulling him close with a gentleness that suggested he was afraid even the slightest force might break the man beneath him. ​Raiven let out a shaky breath, closing his eyes as he surrendered to Haru's warm embrace. ​Haru buried his face in the crook of Raiven’s neck, his breath warm against the skin. ​"If you keep saying things like that, I might just have to pin you down and fuck you again," Raiven murmured, a small, tired smirk tugging at his lips. ​Haru let out a soft, melodic chuckle, his lips grazing Raiven’s pulse point. Raiven’s skin reacted instantly, a shiver racing through him. He held his breath, his grip on Haru tightening as he fought to savor every ounce of proximity and warmth. ​He held on as if Haru were a ghost that might dissipate at any moment. He was terrified that if he let go, this would all prove to be an illusion,that he would be left in the cold again. That Haru wouldn't be his anymore. ​He wasn't ready to give up the sight of Haru’s beauty, or the way Haru whimpered and moaned his name as he worshipped his body. He had grown to adore Haru's quirks,the old-fashioned phrases that slipped from his tongue, the way his eyes danced with a century's worth of glee and curiosity. ​But most of all, Raiven was afraid that if Haru looked just a little bit closer, he would see the truth: exactly how much he had come to mean to him. **** I PLACED ⚠️ ON CHAPTERS THAT CONTAIN EXPLICIT CONTENT.
