Clifford_Pilane
Plot Thousands of years ago when the gods walked the earth, they fought wars amongst themselves for the throne of the earth. And before the new King of the gods was crowned, rose a new hero among the people, his name was Gilgamesh. The son of the half-god Lugalbanda and the goddess Ninsun. Gilgamesh was raised to become the King of Uruk but his destiny was threatened when a prophesy was revealed to the goddess Innana that she would be the goddess of the four corners of the world as long as the seed of Lugalbanda does not get to live. Gilgamesh survived the assassination and lived to take the throne of his father. Being two thirds god, Gilgamesh worried about the possibility of death and wanted to live forever like the gods to a point he decided to journey to Nibiru to attain immortality. And it was on this quest that he crossed paths with the goddess Innana, battled monsters and bulls of heaven. After numerous victories, angering the gods in the process, Gilgamesh was denied immortality. After his friend Enkidu dies, Gilgameshs immortality quest was renewed and he journeyed to the Sinai Peninsula in search of the tree of Life. There he met Utnapishtim, the hero of the deluge. And Gilgamesh finally learnt that Immortality was granted and not taken by strength. One had to become a great hero recognized by the gods to become immortal. With a renewed hope, Gilgamesh undertakes to be a great hero of the people, taking on The Seven destruction gods and their Lord, the Leviathan. Will Gilgamesh be granted immortality after he becomes the greatest hero of the earth?

Freedom Jumper

Freedom is a word undefinable by mankind. According to the most extreme definition, one would have to be unbound by every law and concept making up the world. In Lukas’ case, he created his own definition — as any “elected” king would. Everything possible Lukas could’ve wanted was in his grasp by the time he passed into the afterlife, especially a honey-sweetened chocolate milkshake that he could barely attempt to consume. Family, health, island oasis, world peace, and the never-ending pursuit of novel stimuli. Nothing went according to plan, yet everything seemed to work out in the end. Yet the very second he passed, Lukas realized the very thing he knew would undeniably occur, failed to be given to him. Eternal dreams unfathomable to man. New world, new body, and a restart he desperately did not want. What could possibly go wrong in a kingdom surrounded by walls? What was so dangerous that required walls reaching the heights of 600 feet to blanket any sense of horizon one could see? After two years of meandering the current of life, he was finally able to get a grasp on reality, and rejected it. “This isn’t real…” —————————————— What to Expect: - Reincarnation MC(with consequences) - OP MC (choose to hide powers for good reason) - Slice of life engagements to give life to the world - Meaningful relationships - Dungeon Diving - Epic uses of magic!! - Blood, guts, and bones - Deep mysteries - Academy Arc(Volume 2) - No harem cuz we not about that life
