The Warcrowned

LostnTranscription
“Ruling is the duty of oversight, to oversee instead of create. To govern instead of live. It came with power and prestige, with obligation and responsibility. Soldiers fought and farmers farmed, but to be King is to rule. To maintain the illusion of power one’s forefathers had built. Marcus didn’t care for any of it. He saw magic when he first opened his eyes, and nothing else ever compared. But the King is old and he an only child. Decisions had to be made. Important, hard decisions. No one expected much of him. Not in regards to anything but magic. They were right not to. Until the cube. Until it taught him what life meant for people not born into nobility, and that all his skill with the arcane did not make him immortal. That running from problems did not, in fact, make them go away. Marcus Sepsimus Lannoy—Marcus to the friends he did not have—touched something he should not have on the day he planned to run from his problems.” Inspiration taken from The Menocht Loop, A Practical Guide to Evil and everything else I have ever read in my life. But mostly the first two, though not overly much from either. Concepts and the like. I hope to do them justice. Am I rambling? I feel like I’m rambling.

The Weaver of Star-Steel

In a world forged from the ruins of forgotten legends and rusted metal, flesh is a fatal flaw. For Hanzo, a slave in the deepest slag pits, survival was never a matter of strength—it was a matter of precision. But when a forbidden legacy awakens in his blood, he becomes something the world hasn't seen in eons: An Architect. His body is no longer just flesh and blood. It is a construction site. Hanzo possesses the ability to redesign the very geometry of life. Armed with the power of Lunar-Zinc, he begins to rewrite his own biology—layer by layer, bone by bone. But power demands a price that no calculation can foresee. Every reinforcement of his skin increases the pressure on his human frame. Every upgrade brings him closer to perfection—and closer to the breaking point where his own body will collapse under the weight of his ambition. Accompanied by a hunted outcast and a mechanical companion, Hanzo must navigate the "Forest of Singing Blades." Hunted by beasts with bones of bronze and confronted by the fatal flaws of his own design, Hanzo learns the ultimate lesson of a builder: An invincible wall is worthless if the foundation is made of dust. Will he sacrifice his humanity to become the perfect machine? Or will he find a way to unite the impossible—the heart of a boy with the logic of a god? Welcome! I have always had a deep passion for storytelling and world-building, but translating my complex ideas into written words has been a challenge. To bring my creativity to life exactly as I envision it, I use AI as a writing assistant. This allows me to focus on the plot, the intricate crafting systems, and the journey of our protagonist while ensuring the story is told clearly and vividly. Thank you for joining me on this epic adventure!
