Kikidori: The Archivist of Forgotten Realms

OK_books
Some books are written. Some books are forgotten. And one… was never meant to exist. Kikidori was an ordinary boy living an unremarkable life—until the day he wandered into a bookstore no one remembered and touched the book with no name. From that moment, his world was erased. Stripped of his past and thrown into a realm where memory has weight, stories breathe, and unwritten worlds wait to be born, Kikidori awakens in the Archive of Eternity—an endless reality that records what might have been. Now branded as an Archivist Candidate, he is tasked with recording realities that no longer exist, exploring worlds that were deleted by fate, silence, or war. But the book he carries is unlike any other. It doesn’t record. It creates. As realms unravel and forgotten gods stir, Kikidori must walk the line between scribe and savior—where every choice he writes becomes a reality, and every page turned may be the last. But power like this never comes without cost. And when stories begin to write themselves, Kikidori will have to decide: Is he the author of fate... or just another chapter waiting to be erased?

King of Knives

“In Varentis, trust is a luxury. Mercy is a weakness. And a knife solves more problems than gold ever could.” Darian Valcoris once had a name that mattered. Now he’s just another body in the pit, bleeding for coin, surrounded by criminals, watched by nobles who forgot his face. Broken, betrayed, and one mistake from death, Darian claws his way through the underworld of Varentis, a mountain metropolis built on secrets, steel, and blood, which serves as one of the three Palatinates of the Empire. But Darian isn’t here to survive. He’s here to take everything. From the gutters to the noble quarter, he’ll rise, through pit fights, heists, street wars, and whispered conspiracies. Alongside a crew of dangerous misfits, Darian plays a game that no one expects him to win. Because they don’t know who he's willing to become. Welcome to the Empire of Newfyre.
