Every Time My Summons Evolve, I Gain Their Abilities

Wilfred Williams dedicated twenty years of his life to ants. He studied them, wrote about them, and loved them in a way most people found strange and some found obsessive. His last expedition took him into the largest ant supercolony that was discovered on Earth. He never came back, ants ate his body. Then he woke up in a new world and in the body of a sixteen years old boy named Wilfred Von Argentine who had just been murdered hours before the Summoning Ceremony. Wilfred had a Monarch-level potential and rumors said he'd summon a Great Dragon, something that hadn't happened in a hundred years and someone found that threatening enough to put a blade into him. On the awakening day, in front of the court, the nobles and every rival house watching with hungry eyes, Wilfred's summoning circle produced a Peasant-rank Soldier Ant. The court fell silent and his rivals didn't even bother hiding their laughter. However, Wilfred stared at the tiny creature and for the first time since waking up in tjis dead boy's body he smiled sincerely. Because nobody in this world knows what he knows. Nobody had spent twenty years understanding what ants truly are. What they build and what they become. His ant has no ceiling to its evolution and every time it evolves Wilfred gains its abilities as his own. [Soldier Ant has evolved to Hunter Ant] [You have gained ability: Pheromone Tracking] The World's greatest ant expert died and was reborn into the one place where that expertise mattered more than any dragon. He's going to build the strongest colony this world has ever seen. There's just one problem. These aren't Earth ants, and some of what he thinks he knows is going to get him killed before he figures out the difference.

Fusion, The balance Keeper awakens

Fusion is a science-fantasy saga set on a living world shaped by three suns—Solara, Virel, and Nexon—whose energies govern will, identity, and transformation. At its center is Allium Bell, a being created to maintain balance between these forces. Designed as a function rather than a person, Allium begins the story detached, precise, and unsure what it means to choose. As disturbances spread across settlements—emotional flattening, identity erosion, and subtle behavioral harmony—Allium and a small group of allies investigate what initially appears to be environmental instability. What they uncover is not a single enemy, but a growing manipulation of identity itself. As ancient entities exploit the world’s systems and the power of the tri-suns, the cost of balance becomes increasingly personal. Rose, a seraphim seeking warmth and self-definition; Cassidy Firewell, a human forger shaped by loss and humor; Weaver, a creator haunted by the limits of design; and others are drawn into conflicts where force alone cannot solve what is breaking. Fusion is a slow-burn narrative that prioritizes atmosphere, character psychology, and consequence over spectacle. Threats emerge gradually—through silence, behavior, and implication—before violence ever arrives. Power is never free, growth is never clean, and victories carry lasting cost. The series explores themes of identity vs. function, choice vs. design, and the danger of systems that value balance without humanity, building toward escalating conflicts that reshape both the world and those sworn to protect it. This story is written by me (Isaiah Pohlman) and is being officially published on RoyalRoad as well. RoyalRoad Profile: https://www.royalroad.com/profile/860433/fictions

The Broken Halo

‘How cliché. I’ve read countless novels where the Hero is betrayed by their companions… but was I wrong to trust those who fought beside me for nearly six decades?’ ----- Betrayal. A word many live in fear of. A word some never expect… until it happens. A word that completely shatters one’s view of life. Just like any other heroic tale, Simon was the Hero of Earth, the one who defeated the Demon King and was about to end the war between races with his companions. Yet, in the end, he was betrayed by his own companions for reasons he never understood. Instead of finding death, Simon found rebirth. To his horror, he reincarnated as the very race he had devoted his entire life to exterminating… a race he despised, feared, and was disgusted by. Reborn as a demon infant within one of the most impoverished demon tribes, Simon found himself at the very bottom of a world he once sought to destroy. Fortunately, he was not entirely abandoned. His unique Seven Star Blessing, bestowed by his patron God, followed him through reincarnation. Armed with this Blessing and the Demonic Magic of his new race, Simon now harbors an ambition greater than ever before… to rise higher than he ever did as the Hero of Earth. To become a God. But the path forward is far from simple. Betrayals from those he would never expect. Endless trials and tribulations. And the lingering question of identity… Should he cling to his past as a human hero, or embrace his nature as a demon to survive? Can Simon abandon his hatred and live among demons? Will he erase his past entirely and fully embrace his demonic nature? Will his thirst for revenge drag him deeper into darkness… Or will he rise above it? In the end… Will he be devoured… or will he devour all?
