A man wakes up in New York with nothing but a holographic interface only he can see, pulled straight from the logic of Grand Theft Auto V. The world around him is Marvels. The interface does not care. It simply waits for him to get to work. He has no powers. He has no allies he fully trusts. He has a plan, a crew of two, and a rule he does not break: no corners cut, no questions answered, no one allowed close enough to see the whole picture. New York, however, has other ideas. Not every thief in this city works alone — and not every complication arrives wearing a mask.

In the Great Azure Realm, your life is a story already written by the Heavens. At birth, the Temple of Fate grants every soul a "Verse"—a divine script that dictates your talent, your luck, and your eventual death. Lu Shen is the boy born without a word. A "Silent Verse" makes him a spiritual void, a ghost in a world of living legends. He has spent seventeen years content to stay in the margins, watching his sister rise as the realm’s greatest prodigy.

If Naph, a 17 year old, was asked what’s the value of a life? He may answer, “not much.” He would be lying. Extremely. Based on his own experience and his one true goal. Anaphol, aka, Naph, had just killed Bulwark. A 12 year old child designated as a terrorist in a world that is just around the corner to pass its established steampunk era. The bounty on her head? 10 million Tarna. With a condition, ‘bring her head back clean and undamaged.’ Money he wanted to collect for his goal of delivering justice in a place far away. But the consequence of killing Bulwark? A war of enormous proportion on the country that took him in, the very same country that put the bounty on Bulwark. As he began realizing the weight of the consequence, a ray of hope came from the very same light source of his morality. Don Extea gave him a message to follow and he followed it. The message entangling him further into the stories and fate of the world he did not want to become part of. “What a world, as if it is in fact a dark fantasy wanting to be a steampunk.” Remarked a noble referred to as the Duchess of Knowledge in the platinent Jhorime. That only entangled him further and further into what the world demanded out of his existence, pulling him away from the goal he wishes to complete and pushes towards his goal despite it all. Yet, despite everything that keeps happening, one word kept ringing in his mind until he learned its true meaning before he could complete his own goal, the word being: “Cata.” ---------------------------------------------------- Updates regularly with 1 chapter a day. ---------------------------------------------------- Genre: Modern, Urban, Fantasy, Steampunk, Sci-fi, Adventure ---------------------------------------------------- To read ahead of Webnovel and RoyalRoad become my patron on patreon.com, the handle is mentioned below! :) This story is also available on RoyalRoad.com with the same title "Catalyst Cross Lesio" with the username 'alexUnderTheStars'.

Kailen Darkhaven had a simple, happy life growing up. But when a sudden misfortune claimed the lives of his parents two years ago, his entire world collapsed. His heart broke, his grades plummeted, and worst of all, on his sixteenth birthday—his final chance at hope—he failed to become an Awakener. By his seventeenth birthday, hungry, exhausted, and alone, Kailen collapsed in an alleyway, regretting how pitiful his life had been. As he drifted toward what he believed was death’s embrace… something impossible happened. Instead of dying, he awakened bound to a mysterious artifact—an object of overwhelming, incomprehensible power that defied every known law of the universe. For the first time since losing everything, a spark lit within him. With this second opportunity, Kailen vows to never be weak again. In a world where strength determines identity, status, and survival, he will rise above every boundary placed upon him. He will shatter every perception of strength. He will seize control of his fate. He will climb until he stands at the absolute Pinnacle of the universe! --- Tags: #Psychological #Interstellar( with advanced technology) #Unrivaled #ExtremelyFastPaced #UndeadArmy #NoHarem #RuthlessMC #Urban #Apocalypse #Mythical creatures( elves, vampires, witches, dwarves etc) #IntelligentMC(High IQ, deductive , strategic, high functioning psychopath) Disclaimer: This is purely a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real names, places, or events is coincidental. This is an extremely fast-paced novel, and the protagonist becomes absurdly overpowered. He is not the usual “hero complex” type. The villain and antihero tags are not for show. If you are looking for a “goody-two-shoes” protagonist, this novel is not for you. Kailen is a morally grey character. He makes decisions that those interested in hero complex protagonists may not find pleasant. Note for Readers (Please do not skip): Early on, Kailen awakens with a shadow affinity. Yes—it may remind you of popular works you've read… but this is only the beginning. As the story progresses, he will unlock and master multiple affinities. The shadow affinity is a nod to some of my favorite novels, but the journey, characters, and world are entirely my own. Join the Community: Care to interact with me and other readers?

In a world where heroes are chosen by the gods, the strongest are trained at Elysiana Sanctumus Academia and sent across worlds to defeat Demon Lords. They return as legends. Or ascend to something greater. But this world follows one absolute rule— It only sends heroes. It never receives them. Until an error occurs. A child is born without recognition. No blessing. No status. No place in the system. Lucien Dain Voss. Within him exists the consciousness of a fallen Demon Lord… and the fragmented memories of the Hero King who defeated him— a man who refused to kill. Now, in a world that should never have accepted him, Lucien grows among those chosen by fate— while he remains unseen by it. The system cannot define him. The gods cannot understand him. But Lucien has only one goal— to uncover the truth behind the Hero King’s final act… and return to the world he came from. To do that, he must enter the very place built to create heroes— the Hero Academy. Where prodigies rise, destinies are forged… …and an existence like his should not be allowed. Because this time— the world didn’t summon a hero. It received a Demon Lord.

Dr. Lucian Valle has always believed in one thing—science. A man of logic, precision, and control, he has spent his life saving others, trusting only what can be explained, measured, and proven. But everything he knows begins to unravel the day his son is born. Agastya is not like other children. From the moment he opens his eyes, there is something unsettling… something extraordinary about him. He does not cry. He does not react like a newborn. Instead, he watches—calm, aware, as if he understands a world he has just entered. At first, it is dismissed as uniqueness. Then… it becomes something else. As Agastya grows, his differences become impossible to ignore. His intelligence surpasses his age. His awareness borders on unnatural. And the world around him begins to notice. Whispers follow him. Children fear him. Adults question him. And soon, one word begins to define him— Cursed. But Lucian refuses to accept that. Torn between science and fatherhood, he stands against a society that fears what it cannot understand. As the line between logic and the unknown begins to blur, Lucian must confront a terrifying possibility: What if his son is not just gifted? What if he is something beyond human comprehension? And if that is true— Is the world ready for Agastya? Or is Agastya the one thing the world should fear?

In the world of talents and superpowers, people awaken a talent varying by ranks around the age of fifteen. Some get their powers early during happy moments, while others unlock them during life-threatening situations. A few unlucky people never awaken any talent at all and become complete outsiders. Solomon awakened exactly on his fifteenth birthday. He received an incredibly rare SSS-rank talent and became famous all over the world. However, three years passed with him trying to figure out his power, but no one could help him understand how to use it. The public quickly turned on him and gave him the nickname 'Strongest Loser'. No guild, corporation, or organization wanted to recruit him despite being an SSS-rank talent holder. One day, when he was on his way home after getting rejected by the last guild in the city, a beggar came to him asking for money. He randomly helped the old beggar, who gave him a dirty paper in return. It was an invitation to the Live Streaming Academy, where only the chosen ones with an invitation could ever enroll. He thought that joining the academy might help him finally be able to use his talent. With no other choice left, Solomon decided to go there and test his luck. That single choice turned Solomon into a legend. He became the most feared for generations to come, and even when centuries passed, no one dared to say his name out loud, and he was only referred to as 'the one who shall not be named'.

Marcus DeShawn Williams spent thirty years as a Special Forces operator. Six languages. Four continents. Wars that never made the news. He survived all of it, lived to ninety-four, and died quietly in a one-bedroom apartment in Arlington. *** Then Somewhere between death and whatever comes next, a system chose him. It was supposed to give him biological immortality — a body that heals from anything, never ages, never breaks down, compounds in strength and speed across centuries. The full package. *** Then a Goddess intervened. *** Goddess Of Outaks who had spent several eternities for reasons unknown (fetish) reincarnating Japanese teenagers (FBI) and was infuriated that the system selected a ninety-four year old Black man from Virginia instead. Wrong country. Wrong age. Wrong Ethnicity. No awkward high school backstory. No katana. No ramen shop to monologue in front of. *** Biological Immortality — gone. Compounding upgrades - gone.
