Synopsis: The Bastion of the Twelve (The Final Descent) ​The Bastion of the Twelve is a metaphysical epic tracing the journey of Haoran and Yuxiao as they lead a sanctuary of outcasts through the Forbidden Deep. The Archive, a divine machine of absolute order, treats their existence as a "narrative error" that must be corrected through total erasure. ​The heart of the story lies in the sanctuary’s Metallurgical Metamorphosis, where the city’s physical shell transforms through periodic elements to counter divine protocols. From the Tellurium Logic-Engines to the Thorium Nuclear Hearts, each transformation is a desperate attempt to stay written on the page of existence. ​The Tragedy of the Twin-Logic ​The core conflict is not just between the sanctuary and the Archive, but within the "Lattice of Will" that binds Haoran and Yuxiao. To protect the refugees, they must merge their souls into the city’s core, becoming the very syntax that holds the world together. However, the Archive’s final protocol—the Absolute Paradox—is designed to turn the two pillars of the sanctuary against one another. ​The Climax: The 5,000th Gate ​As the sanctuary reaches the final threshold of the 5,000th chapter, the Archive forces a "Resolution." The divine logic dictates that for the refugees to transition into a new, safe universe, the "Authors" of the rebellion—Haoran and Yuxiao—must be purged to balance the cosmic scales. ​The story concludes in a devastating Zero-Sum Strike: ​The Final Betrayal: Under the weight of the Archive’s corruption, the two protagonists are forced into a terminal duel. Their powers, which once resonated in perfect harmony, become polar opposites—one of absolute density and the other of absolute void. ​The Mutual Sacrifice: Realizing that the only way to break the Archive’s cycle is to leave the narrative entirely, they choose to kill each other simultaneously. By dying at each other’s hands, they create a "Logical Void" that the Creator God cannot fill. ​The Legacy: Their blood fuels the final transformation of the sanctuary into a Trans-Finite Realm, a world without a master. The refugees survive, but the book closes on the image of Haoran and Yuxiao’s armor drifting in the deep, locked in a final, lethal embrace. ​The book ends not with a victory, but with a Final Punctuation—the protagonists become the martyrs of their own story, ensuring that while they perish, their words remain unerasable.

Fall in love, get married, maybe have a couple of kids, and complain about life like a normal person. Reality disagreed. At twenty-five, he had confessed to one hundred girls and been rejected by every single one. “Sorry, you’re a good guy, but…” “You’re more like a brother to me…” “I think you deserve someone better.” He had heard every variation. Every excuse. Every polite rejection that stabbed just as sharply as a blunt knife. By the end of it, Lin Feng no longer feared failure. He expected it. After a night of drowning his sorrows, he woke up in a cultivation world. And somehow… he became a teacher again. “Mentor Lin Feng, could you guide me?” Lin Feng stood frozen. Because surrounding him were not ordinary women, but goddesses, fairies, and proud maidens whose beauty could topple kingdoms. He looked up at the heavens, his expression complicated. “…Are you messing with me?” He clenched his fist. “No. I didn’t come here for romance.” “I just want to teach.” The heavens, however… Had other plans.

In a world where power is traded through skills, Riven is just a dungeon scavenger—picking through ruins, selling whatever little he finds to survive. The system isn’t built for people like him to rise, and he knows it. Until the day he breaks a skill. Not by using it, but by taking it apart. What he pulls out is useless on its own, but it opens a door no one else can see. With the right pieces and the right base, he can turn ordinary skills into something far more valuable. Riven steps into the underground market, where deals are quiet, profits are high, and mistakes don’t get forgiven. As his modified skills begin to circulate, he starts building influence, and eventually something much bigger—a network that doesn’t just follow the market, but bends it. In a world run by strength, Riven isn’t trying to be the strongest. He’s building something far more dangerous.

Relic Rebirth: Path of the Devourer follows Kael, a boy who dies saving a little girl and is reborn in a world where relic-based power defines status, survival, and identity. Unlike everyone around him, Kael possesses an ability that does not conform to the world’s power system. His strength cannot be measured, classified, or explained, and its use begins to awaken ancient forces hidden beneath the foundations of the world itself. Brought to Ember Hold, a fortress that trains the powerful while concealing dangerous secrets, Kael becomes entangled in a growing conflict tied to buried prison routes, forbidden records, and intelligent entities that recognize him before humans understand what he is. As the truth unfolds, it becomes clear that Kael is not merely an anomaly, but a fragment of a sealed and catastrophic totality known as the Devourer. Amid escalating institutional fear, hidden faction interference, and the threat of losing himself to the hunger within, Kael must navigate survival, loyalty, and identity alongside Unit 17, the team that becomes his strongest human anchor. The story explores power, containment, memory, and the struggle to remain human in the face of a destiny linked to destruction, completion, and the possible return of something the world was built to keep buried.

The Ice-Cold King is a tale of resilience, scars, and redemption—a boy who lost everything but found a chance to become more than he ever imagined. To be continued…

"A wolf that cries after eating the sheep is not a shepherd. Likewise, even the blinding light is not better than darkness. Fate is like a river that always brings you to where you are destined to go. Those who oppose it will only drown in their own ambition."

Each resurrection erases another fragment of who he was.Rushing forward into a world that is unknown to him, Toki finds that the darkness he had been running from his whole life was always within him. As he climbs toward godhood and loses his humanity piece by piece, one question remains: how far can devotion push a man before he becomes something unrecognizable?Who is he really and how much will he have to sacrifice to achieve his goal?

In the slums beneath Veston, Kael fled before his mother's body grew cold. No sun. No flowers. No hope. No dreams. Winter and gang lords buried them all. "Pray to the gods and endure for a better tomorrow," his mom said. Why would he pray to the same gods who denied him peace? Who thrust him into this nightmare? No, he'd carve a way to Veston with his own hands, and it started by breaking his promise to his mother for survival. But the job for gang lord Garrick Vane went wrong. He was left for dead with nothing but a ledger salvaged from a submerged temple. But he refused death. "I persist." Two words that awakened a forbidden power, an unlicensed truth anchored to belief and paid for in the warmth of his most precious memories. Now a heretic hunted by priests who burn the unfaithful, Kael discovered the ledger tracked everything: his stress, his anchor, the price he had already paid. Every choice stresses his truth. And if his anchor breaks, he wouldn't just die: he'd become something worse. **** Discord server: https://discord.gg/ubzzKM5wfp If you're enjoying the story and want to keep it free, please read it here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/155290/the-crack-in-heaven-a-litrpg-progression-fantasy Don't forget to hit follow and comment there as well to make the algorithm notice your investment in Kael's story. 

Your own fate is in a pawn of your hand

Leon thought the Academy would save his life. Instead, it awakened the thing inside him. Beneath the world sleeps an ancient source—fractured, buried, and whispering through the blood of those chosen to carry its power. When Leon and others awaken as “carriers,” the institution meant to protect them brands them a threat and moves to contain them before they become something dangerous. Now fleeing into the undercity with unstable powers, hunted allies, and answers no one fully understands, Leon must master a force that resists control and uncover the truth behind the sleeping god beneath the world. But every answer only raises one question: Were they chosen to save the world— Or to remake it?

Everything is fine until it isn't. The end pours over the world, and the stars have breathed their last.   The gods watching have made deals or pled loyalty to the Nigh-Sultan as he prepares for his final banquet in this universe.   Humans are given the power to become dreamers and fail at attempts to grasp these dreams. Instead, they go to the Darkness That Surrounds Crawling Chaos for power.   Eldritch entities run rampant, Cryptids try reshaping the world in their image, and the humans who grasp at that newfound power become no better than those creatures themselves.   In this world with no sun, dreams shatter, and ignorance becomes all anyone who has stared curiously knows.   Yet, one has begun trying to live a "normal" life in this world.   His vow? He has none. After all, fate for him is nothing but fiction, and if he gets his way, the Eldritch May Cry. … Cthulhu Mythos, Eldritch Creatures, SCPs, Cryptids, and Devil May Cry

Given as debt. Kept for a reason. Her father lost everything. Then he lost her. Handed over as payment to the ruthless Fae King, she expects chains, cruelty… or worse.

And the king—cold, dangerous, and impossible to read—refuses to explain why she matters. But when assassins begin hunting her specifically, one truth becomes clear: She was never just a form of debt. She was the prize. And in a court where lies wear crowns, loving the king might be the most dangerous mistake of all.

In a world governed by secrecy and silent executions, three elite operatives known only as (Vex, Specter, and Blitz) serve under the covert organization Red Veil. Bound by loyalty and an unbreakable friendship, they are trained to eliminate targets without hesitation, leaving no trace behind. When a high-priority mission is issued to eliminate a mysterious target codenamed Phantom, the operation takes an unexpected turn. Phantom is not just an enemy but a ghost from their past, once believed to be dead and erased from existence. As hidden truths begin to surface, the line between duty and loyalty begins to fracture. What was meant to be a simple elimination soon reveals itself as a carefully orchestrated trap, one that places Red Veil themselves as the true targets. Betrayal from within the organization forces the trio to confront not only a deadly enemy, but also the secrets they were never meant to uncover. As bullets are fired and trust begins to crumble, one question remains: In a world of shadows, who is truly the hunter… and who is the prey?

When Elira returns to her fog-drowned childhood village, she expects quiet roads, familiar faces, and the home she left behind. Instead, she finds silence—heavy, watching, wrong. People avoid her eyes. Doors close too quickly. And something moves beneath the fog at night, brushing against windows, whispering her name. They call him the Skin Collector. A polite man with an ordinary smile—too ordinary. He takes pieces of skin from the living, leaving no screams, no blood… only a faint burning mark and memories twisted into nightmares. As Elira digs deeper into the village’s past, she uncovers secrets her mother died to keep, a church that refused to speak, and a truth that binds her to the Collector more tightly than she ever realized. Each step reveals another thread in a design that has already wrapped itself around her life. And the fog is closing in. To save the village—and herself—Elira must confront the thing wearing the face of a man. But the closer she gets, the more she realizes: Some monsters aren’t born. They’re stitched.
