A BOY MADE OF SHADOWS

He didn’t grow up with a real name. In the place he was raised, they didn’t bother with names at all. They just burned numbers onto kids, and his number was XI. That’s how people talked to him—like, “Number Eleven, do this,” “Number Eleven, stand there.” It wasn’t a life. It was just… existing. He spent most of his childhood underground. Cold stone floors, dim lamps, the same halls every day. He didn’t know anything about the outside world or why the people there were training him. He only knew that the shadows around him always felt strange, like they were watching him. One night, during some ritual he never understood, something unexpected happened. The shadows that were supposed to kill him didn’t. They moved toward him instead—like they recognized him. Like they’d been waiting for him. After that, he walked out of the fortress. No plan. No idea what to do. He picked the name Kael because he needed something normal to call himself. But the world outside isn’t simple. People stare at him. Some are scared of him. And the shadows that cling to him… he still doesn’t know how to control them, or if they’re even safe. Kael isn’t trying to be special or powerful. He just wants to understand who he is and where he belongs. Maybe he’s just a kid who was treated wrong his whole life. Or maybe he’s something else—something the people in that fortress were afraid to admit. Whatever the truth is, he knows one thing: He’s never going back to being a number again.

The ONE Beyond Heaven: Journey To Godhood

Jin Tie was once the lazy heir of a powerful martial clan, a boy with no ambition beyond shielding his frail younger sister, Jin Yue, from a harsh world. Then the heavens descended. An existence beyond mortal comprehension appeared without warning. In a single breath, his clan was erased. Mountains fell silent. Blood cooled. Jin Yue was torn from his arms and dragged into a void no human was meant to witness. Jin Tie should have died alongside everything he loved. Instead, something within him slipped free of fate’s grasp and left him standing alone among the dead. Two years later, the boy no longer exists. In his place walks a quiet, unnamed drifter. He survives through menial work, underground fights, and merciless self-training, carving strength from pain and discipline rather than talent. He speaks little, trusts no one, and carries only one purpose: to find his sister. That search draws him to the Tournament of the Ten Dragons and Phoenixes, the grand gathering where the strongest young martial artists of the era clash for glory. His arrival sends ripples through the arena. Seventeen years old. No clan. No lineage. Yet he wields Profound Concept-level power, an unclassifiable Ki, and a presence so still it unsettles even veteran elders. Whispers spread. The seven rulers take notice. Forces far older and darker begin to stir. Jin Tie has no interest in fame or legacy. He wants revenge. He wants the path that leads beyond the mortal world, to the realm where his sister was taken. To reach it, he must shatter martial limits, defy destiny itself, and step into realms no human was ever meant to touch. The boy who once mastered laziness must now challenge Heaven. Authors Note: The beginning of the Book is a Slow read. Stick around, I'm sure you would love it. this is my best and only work for now.
