Rise To Ruins Wiki Novels & Stories

For the boys who deserved better than a mother who was falling apart. The elevator doors opened to the lobby. I walked out into the sunlight. And tried to pretend my world wasn't crumbling around me. Again.

And I stood there, staring at the sister I thought I knew, realizing that what broke me wasn’t just losing my fiancé… it was losing the one person I never thought would hurt me like this. The sound of my mother’s sobs echoed through the house, and Adira’s last whisper trembled through the air… “I never meant to fall in love with him… but I did.” And that was when I realized… this wasn’t the end of something. It was the beginning of ruin. “Did you just say you love him???!!"

I looked toward the open warehouse doors, where daylight spilled across the concrete floor. "Now I find out why a father declared war on his own daughter. And if Raj Varma has another reason..." I thought of Drisana sleeping upstairs, bruised and unaware that the greatest betrayal of her life wore her own surname. "...he'd better pray it's good enough." Without another word, I walked out of the warehouse. This wasn't over. It had only just begun.

Roman chuckles. "Partially. The damage you guys caused with that fire was irreparable." The man in charge says. "Now, it's just a burnt down abandoned, ugly building for the rats and snakes to inhabit. This is a far stretch from the glorious place this building once was, and thanks to you and your friends, Leonardo, we had to start again. But no worries, burning down this old B-20 building didn't stop us, it only made us bigger." He laughs, taunting us with our failure. "Now we're bigger than ever. Rich men from all over want to have a stake in this new organization of trained soldiers." Good thing I'm a man who acknowledges mine.

"Is there anything you'd like to share with me about, sir?" Viggo looked up at the sky, his eyes flickering with emotion. "Things aren't peaceful out there anymore. The Ruin Order, once nearly wiped out by Star Alliance, has risen from the ashes. "They've grown so fast that even Star Alliance didn't see it coming. They've officially declared war, and many planets have become battlefields." What? Felix was shocked to learn that the Ruin Order was powerful enough to fight Star Alliance. But he thought back about how Scopulus led his family to join them and then was bold enough to try and kill Felix. The signs were already there.

“When the bloodline reset, the pack hierarchy shifted. Alphas lost control of their bonds. Rogues started feeling the call again—but not just to one pack. To all of them. It’s chaos, Nora. Wolves are turning on each other, instincts clashing. Some can’t handle it.” I exchanged a look with Kael. The Luna’s warning echoed in my mind: Balance is not peace. “We have to stabilize it,” I said. “If we don’t—” “It’s already spreading,” Janie cut in. “And there’s something else.” Her tone dropped, quiet and grim. “The Silver Ash ruins are waking up.” My heart stopped. “That’s impossible. The ruins were sealed centuries ago.” She shook her head. “Not anymore. There’s energy coming from the underground

Raisa and Helie said together, Raisa continuing lightly, "We will get there when we get there, sweet." "She's right," said Helie, sniffing one last time as she reached resoluteness. "Right now, we have to focus on finding—" I pointed ahead. "That?!" Raisa leaned forward and breathed, "Oh, my Goddess." A kingdom of ruins. That was the only thing I could think of to describe what was looming ahead of us, because that's exactly what it was. Like Dust and Nedra and Niburgh all combined, rows and rows of adobe and sand and wood buildings in four tiers, it was a wonder of architecture and mystery, a study of grim wonder of who would destroy what could have easily been a thriving city.

Weeds coat the city as well as a thick layer of sediment. “It’s happening all over,” Ryatt says softly, in obvious disbelief. “Cities are rising all over Eastonia. From the rivers and the sand.” He goes on to explain that in Tarsian, Jaxon’s people awoke to Oasia giving way, and rushed to safety in time to witness an ancient kingdom emerge from the sand. In the Roguelands, temples and old villages broke through the very ground they stood on. Rifthold collapsed in full, and the river separating the once towering fortress from Ryatt’s lands filled the space left behind, burying it under water.

"I wanted us to be free! I wanted us to go home!" "This *is* home, Kaima," Selene laughed, a sound like glass grinding on stone. She gestured to the ruins around us. "This is the world the Alphas built with their wars. This is the world the Council built with their greed. This is the world the Aethel-Group built with their logic. I am just the one who has come to rule the wreckage." --- ### The King of the Ruins

Previously, Lora had talked about the Mountain Range of the Fallen Rocks because the area was vast, and there were no powerful Dark Race or zombies there. As for the City of Ruins, it was different. Powerful members of the Dark Race, zombies, and several organizations, ran the place. For a small organization like Inferno, the City of Ruins was undoubtedly a restricted area. ‘City of Ruins?’ Lucas smiled faintly. The sound of it itself made him excited as he presumed there were tons of zombies there. Perhaps there were members of the Dark Race there as well! Heh, now that he was a Rank 8 Evolved One, those Dark Race members were probably no match for his Dragon Slaying Saber and Sky Tower.
