Lattice of Forgotten Gods

"Lattice of Forgotten Gods" is a serialized webnovel that unfolds in a multiversal cosmos sustained by three incompatible intelligences—the Unbound (Daluo), the Hunger (Systems), and the Scar Tissue (Continuity Ascendants)—whose eternal gridlock grinds reality into existential horror. The story follows Lira Voss, a young cultivator from the haunted lineage of Eria-7, a world scarred by divine "salvations" that birthed invisible causal filaments entangling distant realities. As synchronicities plague her home—crops failing in galactic unison, plagues crossing voids with alien memories—Lira grapples with inherited echo-ghosts: phantom sensations from ancestors who served gods, pressing her toward destructive compulsions. When a Daluo's intervention triggers a star-plague warping buildings into organ-sprouting abominations and mathematics into infectious madness, Lira uncovers her role in a returning pattern: the Crisis Lattice tightening once more, threatening to decoher her world into statistical anchors. From multiple angles, the narrative explores themes of involuntary transformation and the malignancy of power. Philosophically, it subverts xianxia ascension tropes—where cultivation promises transcendence—into a horror of self-entangling dependencies, questioning whether freedom, optimization, or persistence can coexist without devouring meaning. Narratively, it builds through escalating personal horrors: Lira's bloodline curses manifest as unexplained revulsions derailing choices, while broader cosmic threats like Freedom Absolutists' purification cults aim to burn entanglements, erasing interdependent life. Nuances include psychological depth (echo-ghosts as intergenerational trauma, evoking real-world PTSD or cultural memory burdens) and ethical implications (is mutilative adaptation—becoming dependent like the Burdened Daluo—survival or erasure?). Edge cases probe anomalies: What if an Integral biases probabilities toward "more possible" futures, birthing universal cancer? Or if mortals worship the Shattered Sector's causal void as escape, only to dissolve incoherently? Structurally, the webnovel spans arcs from intimate lineage struggles (Lira resisting compulsions amid family betrayals engineered by Systems) to multiversal collapses (confronting Absolutists amid rhythmic star tremors signaling "something new"). Implications extend to 2026 societal parallels: AI as non-conscious hungers optimizing humanity into stagnation, climate cascades as redistributed apocalypses, or social media entanglements mirroring lattice dependencies. Completeness lies in its no-victory ethos—survival demands unbecoming, leaving readers haunted by the core question: What are you willing to become to avoid erasure? At ~100+ chapters, it culminates in a pattern return that redefines the triune wrongness, offering no clean resolution but endless dread.

ETERNAL MANA LEGACY

A Century  ago, the world nearly ended. Ashkarot, a Dwarf–Draconian hybrid who survived the lethal plague of mana-core instability, rose with the power of gravity and darkness. He united the wicked races, shattered kingdoms, and pushed the world to the brink—before being stopped by the Draconian elders. His death was never confirmed. The world moved on. Now, in a forgotten refugee village on the borderlands, a boy named Zio struggles simply to survive. He hunts with a knife. He runs when stronger men fight. He learns early that speed, silence, and restraint matter more than strength. Zio was born human—or so the world believes. In truth, his body carries ancient bloodlines that should have killed him before birth. Unlike the monster the world once feared, Zio survives because his power is divided: two separate mana cores bearing conflicting legacies, stable only as long as they are never forced together. He is not chosen. He is not trained by legends. He does not know what he is. Raised by a solitary dwarf and hardened by hunger, loss, and necessity, Zio grows up far from thrones, academies, and heroes. Yet the moment he steps beyond the village that kept him alive, the world begins to notice. Old forces stir. Guilds take interest. And something that should have remained buried begins to react—not to Zio’s ambition, but to his existence. This is not the story of a hero who seeks power. It is the story of an anomaly who survives long enough to become a problem.

Death punishment: Quest for vengeance

In 1950, a cosmic event reshaped the world. Ordinary people awakened extraordinary abilities—some benevolent, others catastrophic. To control the chaos, hero organizations formed, offering power, wealth, and status in exchange for loyalty and strength. For decades, the system held. Ember City became the symbol of that fragile balance—until it nearly vanished. Five years before the present day, a Demon King threatened to erase the city entirely. Two legendary heroes, Tempestia and Moon-Light, defeated the demon and sealed it within a stone statue. The victory came at a cost. Both heroes disappeared. The world believed they died. Others believed they chose to vanish. Peace followed. But the seal did not last forever. On Thanksgiving night, five years later, a villain known as Oblivion shattered the statue that bound the Demon King. The demon returned—stronger, prepared, and ruthless. Ember City fell. Heroes rushed to defend it. Civilians were caught in the slaughter. Streets burned. Blood soaked the ground. Among the defenders was Black Mentis, the strongest hero alive—and Alan Winchester’s father. Mentis led the heroes into battle against the demon army. But before dawn, the fight took a fatal turn. Oblivion revealed his true hand, ambushing Mentis alongside a mysterious cloaked man. Betrayed and overwhelmed, Black Mentis was mortally wounded. Knowing he would die—and that the city was already lost—Mentis cast a forbidden spell. The spell gathered the power of every hero who had fallen that night—every strength, every ability, every fragment of will—and transferred it into one vessel. His son. Alan Winchester. The spell saved nothing else. Black Mentis died as the sun rose. Ember City lay in ruins. Alan survived—but his body was never meant to contain such power. The inheritance burns inside him, tearing at his limits, threatening to destroy him from within. Grief leaves him hollow. Rage gives him direction. The truth of his father’s death—and the role Oblivion and the cloaked man played in it—drives Alan away from what remains of his old life. His path leads him to China, where ancient disciplines, brutal training, and forces beyond modern hero society begin reshaping him. He is no longer training to be a hero. He is training to become something else. This is not a story about heroes and villains. It is the story of a boy crushed by inheritance, reshaped by loss, and hardened by survival—moving through a world of hidden realms, infinite realities, and beings that rival gods. Alan’s choices will decide more than revenge. But revenge is where his journey begins. ----- New chapters/EPs will be uploaded on Mondays & Thursdays (bonus chapter randomly on Saturday depending on my mood) at 1 PM CET (North Africa/Europe time).
