CAGE PUPPET

On the planet of Nyxara, awakening decides everything. At sixteen, every person awakens an affinity tied to essence — the power that shapes the world itself. Strength determines status, survival, and future. Zero has none. Unable to sense essence and burdened by scars from a past he cannot remember, he lives as an outsider in the quiet village of Ashvale alongside the only person who truly understands him — his closest friend, Klaus. But as the day of awakening approaches, strange things begin happening around him. Violent headaches. Fragments of memories that don't belong to him. Beasts growing unnaturally aggressive near the village. And a feeling deep inside himself that something is waiting to wake up. While the rest of the world moves toward its future, Zero begins to realize he may have never belonged to this one in the first place. And when the truth hidden inside him finally stirs— everything changes. https://discord.gg/U3tt6BpFr

Stranded. Enslaved. Lost. Mathew Dredon is stuck, in more ways than one, with no way home. Transported to a land filled with divine artifacts and monsters born from darkness, Mathew is left to search for answers. Forced into a strange body with a skull made of metal by mysterious gods, and captured by a tyrant with a hair-trigger temper. He struggles relentlessly against the chains that bind him, any hope of returning home dwindling.  Only by unlocking the secrets of this new land does he stand a chance of survival. Perhaps swallowing an unknowable cosmic entity was a questionable decision... This is my first webnovel, so the pacing might be wonky as I figure things out! What to Expect: - Isekai/Transmigration/Reincarnation - Complete Character Arcs for the main cast (Hopefully) - Lots of Lore/exposition Dumps (sorry) - Magic System that I thought too hard about (whoops) - Occasional Fights between Cool Characters - Proxy Wars between Gods with Sus Motives - Lots of References to Lovecraft and Shakespeare - Vampires.
