Age of Layers

In a world where the chosen bear Divine Scars glowing outlines channeling infinite power leaked by Singular Beings humans forge abilities from that endless divine energy. One outline: Lightlinger. Two: Lightrozer. Their strength is bound to one or two domains, dictated by which Divine's energy flows through their scar. However, some only have an outline, with no scar. But the world is never fair. Those not chosen, driven by envy, turn to a darker path. They become Darkens killing and absorbing finite souls through cursed artifacts called Ghost Vaults. Unlike the limited Lights, Darkens craft unpredictable, often fatal abilities from stolen life essence. Souls are finite, and the hunt never ends. The vastness of existence holds boredom in some corners… and alongside it, curiosity guiding everything. Age of Layers dives into the hearts of broken souls where guilt never fades, promises warp lives, and fragile bonds are the only defiance against an indifferent cosmos. It asks one question: What are humans? What to expect : Multiple shifting POVs and perspectives (the story moves fluidly between characters in a mosaic style) Slow-burn psychological dark fantasy focused on human nature, lies, trauma, and coping mechanisms Complex, flawed characters with deep inner contradictions and realistic emotional struggles Themes of indifference, rewritten reality, and “what are humans?” under pressure Non-linear mosaic storytelling with frequent scene shifts, flashbacks, and quiet horror Gradual escalation from intimate family drama and personal fractures to larger cosmic events No traditional heroes or fast power fantasy — the real conflict is internal and systemic Discord: https://discord.gg/3jUR673eXW

Dragon Ball: A Life Without Regrets

I was reborn into the world of Dragon Ball—as Son Goku. Yeah. That Son Goku. As a reincarnator, I knew exactly what was coming: Planet-destroying tyrants, time-traveling androids, gods of destruction, and multiverse tournaments… Crisis after crisis, each worse than the last. And in the original timeline, only the pure-hearted, battle-junkie Goku barely scraped through each time. But me? I’m just an imposter wearing his skin. How far could I really go? …Well, screw it. I’m already here. Might as well do my best. Then came that fateful day— Bulma showed up at Mount Paozu… And my cheat system finally awakened. 【Past Life Memory Detected… Mission System Activated】 【Timeline Repair Missions Loading...】 【Mission 001: “The One That Got Away”】 In your past life, you and Bulma braved countless dangers together—side by side, life and death, thick and thin. But in the end... you never ended up together. This time, stop Bulma from making that shady deal with Master Roshi. Reward: Flight Technique. 【Mission 002: “No More Yamcha”】 In your past life, Bulma wasted her youth on that cheating loser Yamcha. And you just stood by and watched. This time, make her give up on him—completely. Reward: Kamehameha. 【Mission 003: “Fix Your Damn Marriage”】 In your past life, your constant absences turned Chi-Chi cold. Your marriage fell apart—and she was never truly happy. This time, show her what it means to have a husband who’s actually there.

And hands out cheat skills while I do it? Alright then. This time... I’m going to live without regrets.

Star Chronicles:Embers of the Calamity

Let Power Be Your Truth. Your Light. And Your Chains. That was the first law granted to the Nyxvalis clan. For thirty-eight generations it held. Through fire and blood, through empire and ruin, through centuries of war waged in the name of a bloodline that had long since ceased to be merely human. It held — and in holding, built a monolith so absolute that the world stopped asking whether it could fall. Then came the 39th Flame. Seven hundred and thirty-one entered the Chambers of Night. Forty-seven crawled back out. Not an army. Not a dynasty. An ember — dim, diminished, and already encircled by enemies who had spent years sharpening their finest wolves in anticipation of its arrival. A heresy in numbers alone. A silent warning to those still bold enough to hear it: If a monolith can tremble — so too can it fall. As the world prepares to record the embers in its annals, so must its instruments play their parts. Those duty-bound to hold the monolith in place. Those eager to test the might of a millennium of power. And the forty-seven — carrying a smiling ember within. A dark gothic world of political deceit and ancient bloodlines. Empires built on inherited violence. Power forged in law and broken in shadow. And beneath it all — the slow, certain rot of institutions that have never once been held accountable. This is the world of The Star Chronicles. A story about survival without innocence. Legacy worn like chains. And the particular kind of power that doesn't free you — it simply decides how you burn. Embers of the Calamity Volume III
