Hoku’s fascination with a hidden message in his uncle’s library draws him to a manor and the company of a stranger. Beyond the manor lies the Sequel, an alternate universe where remnants of fallen epochs exist among worlds originating from old fables. Ordained as the Navigator, Hoku’s enquiries lead him into the affairs of beings revered as gods, earning the enmity of the Abundant Creator’s followers. Though much of his own past still eludes him, he studies their histories to discern the laws governing the Sequel and how its creator may be opposed.

Eight humans once became gods to protect the world. Humanity repaid them with betrayal. One by one, the Guardian Gods fell and turned to stone, and the creator cursed the world they failed to protect. Monsters rose from the shadows, kingdoms crumbled, and hope slowly faded from the land. Now the fallen gods lie buried and forgotten. But Princess Flora refuses to accept a dying world. Determined and fearless, she sets out on a dangerous journey to awaken the Guardian Gods and restore peace. Yet the deeper she searches for the truth behind their fall, the more she begins to realize that the gods’ fate—and the curse on the world—may hide a secret far more terrifying than anyone ever imagined.

Living a story, many wish to enter their favourite book... But what if you actually could? That is the reality that Aether Moirai lives in, where readers bound to the Codex system can enter stories and grow stronger by changing their endings. But while awakening for most is a blessing, for the little Prince Aether, it had been a curse more than anything; he had been given this title at the worst moment of his life, trapped inside an enemy Kingdom that wanted his head, and to make it worse, his powers were those of a God, which, while it might seem like a good thing, had been the opposite. Between having to care about his own mental health and get stronger so his body doesn't get taken over, and trying to find himself, he also has to worry about the past he has no idea about, since it seems he's more connected to the world than he had thought. He has to decide if he wants to step into the role the world has given him, as the Vessel of one of the five gods of the world, or become a person of his own without losing himself. Quite a harsh world for one that seems like a fairy tale on paper... But what if those stories also have something to say about people entering them... that would make it way worse, wouldn’t it... P/S POTA is a novel with a lot of deaths; a lot of characters die. It’s a very dark novel for a reason, with no fear of gruesome and ugly scenes, but also one with a very complicated system and a lot of niche mechanics, and above all, the protagonist himself changes a lot through the story, and every part of his change is going to be shown, even the bad times. When it comes to uploads, there are two new chapters daily.

In ages past when hope was spent and low, All creation stood bound within its quiet repose. Then did Reality tremble from a boundless might, And the earth quaked across the starless night. A star descended from the vast beyond, And bound reality in grief's most tragic bond. It stole the future in its greedy plight, Yet wept in secret at the ruined sight. With painted smiles it played a gentle part, And strove to heal each broken, wounded heart. Yet the star never found the words to seek amends, The answer on the tip of its tongue which it couldn't transcend. Its guilt endured, a weight upon its boundless soul, Awaiting forgiveness from the broken world. Wherefore to him whose destiny it had reft, It turned to mend the soul that it had left. The Bereft was lost, struggling with his blight, Yet the star became his new, endearing light. Until at last the end drew near, And to eternity the star must steer. In passing through the void it set things right, Returning the future it had plight. No soul recalled the star from then on, Save for the Bereft… whose longing was not gone.

In a world veiled in enigma. Ruled by distant gods and eldritch entities had its story set in stone. An ode began to form. It wasn't in the concept that flourish instantly.

Would you like to see a new perspective and begin to love the 'Original' once more? How far would you cross between the border of a canon and a fiction? "Lord of Mysteries: Goddess of Origin."

Before Cheri City raised its towers of pride, it was a rotting caste-pit where the poor were counted as waste and cruelty wore the mask of order. Gomi Kirā was raised by the only two people who ever fought back against it — and orphaned for that crime before he was old enough to understand. Sold into servitude by a system that profited from his grief, Gomi spent six years on his knees scrubbing floors that were never clean enough, learning a vocabulary of disposal from people who called it discipline. He was blinded in one eye for the crime of looking his masters in the face. He was beaten for reading. He was reminded, every day, in every register cruelty knows how to speak in, exactly what he was worth. Then, at fourteen, he was murdered in an alley — and thrown into the Skies of Misfortune, the Pit where the world discards what it refuses to bury. He should have stayed dead there. Instead, something ancient and starving found him first. He came back with a horn breaking through his skull, a curse burning green behind a blind gray eye, and no patience left for mercy — his own or anyone else's. The dead call him their king. He never asked to be anyone's anything. But the Pit doesn't ask what you wanted. It only asks what's left of you once it's finished deciding. You Are Nothing But... Filth! is not a story about a kid who overcomes the word he was given. It's a story about what happens when he decides to pick it up and use it back — and what that decision costs the few people foolish enough to love him anyway. Across two volumes and twenty-four episodes, Gomi and the broken found-family he refuses to admit he needs will descend deeper into the Pit's ruined cities, buried bloodlines, and older kings — chasing a truth that was never as simple as hero or monster. Sometimes it isn't the heroes who rise from the ashes. It's the filth they tried to bury. Rated MA25+. A dark, gruesome, emotionally unflinching saga of survival, inheritance, and the price of becoming what the world insists you already are.

He created everything. Even this Synopsis

The Specialists: Book One — Awakening “So far as we’re on Earth, we all live, we all walk, and we’re all different... but... it’s more than that, isn’t it?” There will always be a set of people — or maybe various sets — different from the rest. They walk among us, invisible yet always watching, bound by rules written before time began. Not all their stories are told. But come to think of it... if we never tell, they will never know. Beneath the hum of cities and the illusion of normal life, another world exists—one of secret factions, ancient clans, and Arms that bend the laws of nature itself. Shadows move across time, hunting and watching those who can rewrite reality. When an orphaned student receives a call that changes everything, and a stranger draped in dusk arrives at the edge of his world, the first thread begins to pull loose. What wakes isn’t always alive. What’s buried doesn’t always stay dead. And the ones who remember… are already watching. Awakening is just the first movement in a war older than history itself.

This is one heck of a Victorian-style fantasy novel. Add a spoonful of steam engines to make that darned technology tree come alive! Add a spoonful of love and hatred, so everyone has good reasons to brawl! Add a spoonful of madness to lighten up this gloomy world, and finally, add a spoonful of natural disasters to play the main boss... and so on! Phew, that's a lot! ... Year 931 in the Engerwick Calendar. The city I reside in has been hailed as the most advanced in the West. The main reasons? The world-shaking steam technology, emerging technologies, and the wellspring of chaos. Can't deny it, but the fact remains that people keep flocking here to live. This city always gives you a glimmer of hope, whether it's lies or illusions, but it's so close, within arm's reach, making you risk life and limb. A city of hallucinations. I am one of those dream-chasers.
