IT'S Hollow Throne

‎Kael Voss is nineteen years old, broke, and works the night shift at a city morgue because no one else would hire him. ‎He is not special. He was not chosen. He has no destiny. ‎ ‎What he has is a dead man's arm with a mark on it, a basement crack in the fabric of reality, and a debt counter on his skin that starts at zero. ‎ ‎It will not stay at zero. ‎ ‎Beneath the modern world runs the Rift ‎ a dying supernatural layer leaking into reality, bleeding hunger and monsters and rules that nobody wrote down. Most people never see it. The ones who do either survive and become something different, or they don't survive at all. ‎Kael steps through anyway. ‎Not because he is brave. Because he has done the math, and sitting still is already losing. ‎ ‎Every time he survives the Rift, he gains something. Strength. Perception. Abilities that have no name yet. But the Rift does not give anything away. Every ability comes with a debt attached, a cost calculated after the fact, collected at a time and in a currency he does not get to choose. He does not know what is collecting. ‎ ‎That is the part that should scare him. ‎It does. He just does not let it stop him. ‎HOLLOW THRONE is a dark progression fantasy set in the modern world. It follows one cynical, methodical young man learning to navigate a hidden war between the surface world and what lives beneath it, armed with a sharp mind, growing power, and a bill he cannot afford to ignore. ‎ ‎The debt always comes due. ‎The question is whether Kael is still standing when it does.

Arcana Null : 22 - The Fool Who Imprisoned Fate

Zekai is twenty-two and has already decided that life is meaningless. He has no job, no ambition, and no interest in the future. While others chase purpose, he watches from the sidelines, convinced that the world runs on illusions people are too afraid to question. Then his grandfather dies during a circus performance. The death is ruled an accident. The silence afterward is not. Something is left behind—something old, something deliberate. From that moment, Zekai begins to notice what others cannot: patterns beneath coincidence, intent behind tragedy, and a presence that seems amused by his existence. The city changes around him. Crimes grow stranger. People disappear without explanation. Whispers spread of a figure who appears in moments of fear—part savior, part nightmare. Zekai does not seek to become anything. He only reacts. Yet the more he intervenes, the more the world pushes back. Every choice carries consequences he cannot escape. Every step forward reveals another layer of truth he was never meant to see. Some paths offer power. Some demand sacrifice. Some do not allow turning back. As Zekai is pulled deeper into a hidden side of the city—where justice, guilt, desire, and fate collide—he is forced to confront a question no one can answer for him: Is freedom something you choose… or something taken from you the moment you play along? Because this story is not about destiny fulfilled. It is about what remains when the final number is reached— 22.

Chrono System: Reincarnated with all SSS Abilities

Destined to save the world or destroy it! Sora's just a bullied orphan with no friends, living a regular life with foster parents who expect too much of him. Sure, he gets into a prestigious university, but what's the point? After nearly dying saving 14 children from his childhood Orphanage, the gods overhear Sora's nurse's prayers and Chronos, the god of time, comes to meet Sora. Who wouldn't want a second chance at life? Transmigrate to 7429 to the planet of Exteria, as a half Uthra (divine being), or die in 15 years from now after living a meaningless life of bedrest, even after living as a hero. Unable to say no to the deal, follow Sora on his adventures to save (or destroy) the world as he forms a party, filled with all different types of beings, meets friends, potentially falls in love, all while trying to level up and gain enough experience to unlock his true abilities: The abilities of his eyes. One Amethyst, one Aquamarine, a gift of Chronos, beautiful, perfect... with one major flaw... he doesn't know how or when they'll unlock. As a member of the King's council, Sora finds himself at the front row or a brewing war between the demons (and some unexpected allies), with tales of a hidden Elven sanctuary, legends of lost Chimera, even potentially the last of the dragons? Only time will tell! Come meet Sora and his friends and follow his story. After all, even though he starts out with SSS abilities, doesn't mean he isn't lost in a new world after being lost in his own life. Apologies to those who were currently reading. I did a major re-work and went back and made it a third person, 13+ book (violence, language, some blood and gore). Updated Daily: 1-2 Chapters by 10 PM CST :). Current Arc 1: A second chance Arc 2: Coming Soon [will not release name to avoid any spoilers]
