The Quiet embrace

The endgame of Earth has become a terrifying reality, and the planet has undergone cataclysmic transformation. Meteor showers reminiscent of Apokolips' wrath, zombie outbreaks akin to the Marvel Zombies universe, a sudden Ice Age freezing cities like Gotham, Zerg-like insectoid swarms tearing through civilizations, and alien beasts descending with the ferocity of a Kree-Skrull invasion—under these compounded apocalyptic events, only one in ten humans managed to survive! In the heart of this chaos, Russell acquired the Trial System an advanced tech-artifact comparable to Mother Boxes or Stark’s Extremis protocol and initiated his survival in a high-tech interplanetary shelter. Long before the disasters struck, he had already hoarded billions worth of resources, forged weaponry rivaling Asgardian steel and Kryptonian tech, unlocked the hidden potential of his genetic code similar to a mutant awakening or a metahuman genesis, and assembled an elite fighting force on par with the Justice League or the Avengers. While others scavenged and starved, Russell feasted daily on fresh, hydroponically-grown produce, untouched by the world's decay. While the masses froze in crumbling shelters, those in Russell’s sanctuary lived in warmth and safety, thanks to repurposed StarkTech-like energy grids and alien core reactors. When monstrous threats attacked, the shelter’s inhabitants disciplined and united like the Green Lantern Corps or Wakandan warriors stood as an unbreakable wall, defending their sanctuary and kin with unwavering resolve. And in the darkest hours, when all hope seemed extinguished, Russell rose as humanity’s final guardian like Superman before Doomsday or Captain America in the endgame defending the flickering flame of civilization, determined to make it blaze once more. ---

In the heart of the ancient world lies Aeloria—a kingdom shaped by gods, history, and the unyielding weight of legacy. At the height of its glory, two royal brothers stood at its center: Markas, the younger prince, humble and radiant with natural wisdom, and Mathew, the elder—tactical, ambitious, and born with the crown in mind. But it was Markas who shone. The people adored him. The paladins followed him. And even Luther, the greatest warrior of their age, called him brother not by blood, but by bond. Markas’ light filled the kingdom… and cast Mathew’s pride into shadow. Then came Selena. A sorceress of unmatched grace, with eyes like starlight and a presence that stilled storms. Mathew fell for her the moment he saw her. But she, knowing nothing of the silent war between brothers, chose Markas as her husband—and sealed Mathew’s heartbreak into something darker. Years passed. Resentment festered. And when the moment came—when the gods looked away and the stars were quiet—Mathew struck. He would reclaim all that was stolen: His kingdom. His people. His pride. And above all… her. But what Mathew didn’t know was that the child Selena carried was more than a prince. He was a spark of something far older. A whisper of gods. A future reborn. And a throne that would not remain stolen for long.

Lin Quan traveled to the year 2012 and became the adopted son of Pep Guardiola. He originally played as a midfielder, but unexpectedly gained Messi's Prime attributes from him due to the sudden awakening of the "King of Football" system. That year, the incomparable duo reached its peak. Messi scored 91 goals, while Cristiano Ronaldo scored 63, dominating the entire world of football, leaving no room for a third contender. However, from that year on, the rivalry between the incomparable duo transformed into a three-player confrontation. Guardiola: There are rumors suggesting that I relied on Lin Quan to win so many championships. Let me clarify, this is not true. Mourinho: If Guardiola didn't have Lin, his honors would never surpass mine! Messi: People say that Lin Quan plays like me, but I think that's not entirely accurate because Lin is even more versatile than me. Cristiano Ronaldo: I thought my only rival was Messi, but another Lin Quan unexpectedly emerged.
