Rise To Ruins Wiki Novels & Stories

Her attention shifted as a jagged silhouette rose from the horizon like the ribs of some buried beast, bleached by time and fury and shrouded in the heat-haze of the afternoon sun. Drawing closer, the ruins emerged in their full, crumbling majesty. Massive stone pillars, weathered and cracked, reached toward the heavens like the fingers of a long-dead giant. Some leaned precariously, as if frozen in the act of toppling, while others had collapsed entirely, sprawling across the land like fallen warriors.

Unable to control my body’s reaction, I lurched forward, leaning my left arm up against the wall for support as thick ropes of sticky cum shot out from my dick, a groan spilling free from my mouth as I found completion. It took me a few minutes to recover, to come down from the summit I’d ascended to with only the limited memories I had of Rune, but I knew beyond the shadow of a doubt that I had to have her, no matter the cost. The pressure was creeping its way back in as I toweled off, the lingering effects of my orgasm fading far too quickly as I thought about the incident that’d occurred today. I’d wanted nothing more than to fire the bitch, whom I now knew was named Elisabeth, but I was

On the outside, it looked like nothing serious had happened there, but Claudio looked more shaken than the last time I had seen him. — The woman is crazy – he seemed disturbed – she set her own body on fire. I dragged her out and tried to save my house. — And what is the gravity scale of the house? I asked, sitting down next to him. — The room was completely destroyed – he confessed, with regret – the damage was only not greater because I managed to put out the fire. I looked at the place again, and for a moment I was grateful Aurora wasn’t there to watch her mother’s house get destroyed.

She was rushing straight at me. Bang! The bottle smashed brutally against my head. The sickening crunch of exploding glass erupted in my ears, followed instantly by the hot, sticky sensation of blood trickling down my temple. “Sylvia!” Maggie’s piercing scream tore through the club. I stumbled backward, my vision swimming, only to see Silvia raising another bottle high above my head, her face twisted in pure madness. “Go to hell!” When the second blow came down, the world went completely black. I collapsed into a growing pool of my own blood, my consciousness fading as nothing but chaotic, distant screams echoed in my ears.

MAYA The house was too quiet. It had been six months since the metal of the car crumpled like paper. Six months since the world I built out of lies fell apart in a spray of shattered glass and screaming tires. I was the one who survived. I was the one who woke up from the coma. But sometimes, when I look at the empty space in our bed or the way Liam looks at his phone, I think the wrong person died that night.

"Oh, you're yelling at me? What exactly do you have that compares to Myra? All these years, she handled everything, and I just had to sign papers. I never had to lift a damn finger!" The two of them tore into each other without holding anything back. But no amount of screaming could fix the company's collapse. Soon after, Alan's company fell apart completely. To cover the financial losses, the court forced them out of the villa Alan and I once lived in together. It had to be auctioned off. And even with their lives falling to pieces, neither of them chose to actually work or rebuild. Instead, to maintain the lifestyle they were used to, they turned to gambling. It didn't take long for them t

"The 'Nodes' don't have teeth anymore, Damian. They’re just men sitting in high towers with batteries that are running dry. They’re still trying to 'Index' the rain while we’re the ones catching it." The Rise of the "Analog" Hubs The world had fragmented into a "Labyrinth" of independent hubs. There were no global empires, only "Regional Trusts." In the ruins of Boston and New York, the "Rust-Walkers" had become architects, using the steel skeletons of the "Gilded Cage" to build massive vertical greenhouses.

“If you continue down this path, Enzo, you risk tearing apart everything we’ve built. You risk leading us into ruin.” “Ruins?” I roared, my voice echoing so fiercely that dust rained from the high ceiling. “We are already in ruins! You just refuse to see it. Every day, enemies tighten their grip while you cling to outdated customs. I will not let us be buried because you are too cowardly to act.”

"Burn it to the ground, Kirrily. Strip the Vance name off every building in Sydney. If my father built this empire on a lie, and my mother is using your sister as a bargaining chip to keep her seat, then let it burn." He leaned closer, his breath warm against my mouth. "Four years ago I thought this company was my legacy. I was a fool. You and Toby were the only real thing I ever had. If losing the firm is the price of keeping you safe, I'll stand in the ashes with you gladly." A tear slid down my cheek, hot and fast. For four years I'd hated him. I'd fed my rage on the memory of his cold face in the storm. But sitting here now, his hand over mine on the trigger of his own ruin, I understood

Illumi couldn’t dodge the fumes as they squalled past him, knocking his mask off his face. “Such an insolent wizard!” Illumi barked. He gave his staff a strong flick. The light from his staff shot at Ruin like a cannon. Rui tried to block it, but the light cannon crashed into him against the wall. The wall crumbled down, and Ruin was buried somewhere under its debris. Illumi bent down and picked up his mask. It was cracked. “Now I am really pissed. Fate can really get frustrating sometimes. And you think this stupid magic tech is going to hide you from me!”
