I will be posting the continuation of this story and the other on a new link on Royal Reads as well as the other linked works thanks. In the tenacious battle for supremacy between Half immortals and Colossal Demons over the lordships of Ataxia, Elian Xin Hoxino is highly esteemed by the Elvanians for his strength and victories against the terrifying cruelty of the fearsome Dominos.

What happens when mystery appears in a world that has never known it? Fate always demands a price. Madness whispers. The gods are watching. And the first step into the unknown can never be undone. Knowledge is a blessing. It is also a curse. Those who gaze into the abyss of mysteries can never be the same again.

Aether Moirai was never meant to be free. Born from the final spark of the Abyss, a forgotten god’s last act of rebellion, he is the last vessel, a boy whose powers grow stronger the more his mind fractures. Bound by the Codex, a system that can rewrite history itself, Aether is hunted by worlds that fear what he might become. The Infinite Library has always been his home, a labyrinth between worlds where every book is a living realm, and every story is a battlefield. But when the tales begin to warp, birthing monsters and rewriting entire histories, even the Library’s endless shelves can’t protect him. To survive, Aether must step into dangerous books where myths breathe, legends bleed, and the wrong choice can erase you from existence. Each journey brings him closer to the truth of his creation, and the author who penned his fate. But the corruption doesn’t stay contained. As the stories unravel, their chaos seeps into the real world—kingdoms clash with empires that never existed, myths walk beside mortals, and reality itself begins to fray. In the end, the Library isn’t just collapsing into itself. It’s dragging every world down with it. And some stories brought by it could end the world in seconds. So can someone like him, survive in such a world. Even more, try and rule it?

John, a failed author dies with regrets and wakes up inside the world of his own novel. At first, his new life seems ordinary and uneventful. Everything changes when he unlocks the Akashic Grimoire of Creation: Atum. This plain-looking notebook holds an impossible power. Anything he writes can become reality, whether it exists only as a concept, a myth, or something beyond imagination. His mysterious Level 9999 hints at an ancient truth far older than Genesis. With the ultimate tool of creation in his hands, he must change fate, avoid the death flags he once designed, and protect his new family from the chaos that is destined to arrive. However, the world he created is far more dangerous than he ever expected. The ATUM Notebook (Akashic Grimoire) and the Quill of Finality were not just a magic system; they were a Conceptual Creation Engine.

In the vast and grand universe, beginnings and endings have always existed. Thrones symbolize power: kings and emperors rise, yet inevitably fall. There are no exceptions— all who hold power eventually succumb. Such is the fate of those who rule. While scientific and cosmological research seeks to explain the erosion of time and the workings of the universal temporal current, one question persists: is what we call “Destiny” merely chance… or something that truly exists? Is there a predetermined end for everything and everyone? Or is this idea born from human fragility, a desperate attempt to deceive ourselves with a future different from the one already conceived? Ryoumi was born into a Victorian-aesthetic world, where Renaissance minimalism blends with medieval style, layered atop an industrial revolution. In this setting, magical technology and science advance side by side, growing with each passing day. Driven by his family and inspired by his own dreams, Ryoumi is compelled to face hardship and work tirelessly to understand how the world truly functions. But what awaits him ahead? Amid rusted metal rails, transforming cities, and sparks of life that defy the inevitable, a final question arises: is Destiny an inescapable force on his path… or is there still room to change the course of the future?

In her past life, Elmira was the ultimate shield—a top-tier bodyguard who never let her guard down. But even the strongest shield can be broken from behind. A single act of betrayal ended her career—and her life. Or so she thought. Opening her eyes in a filthy slum of a medieval world, she finds herself trapped in the frail body of a young girl named Maria. No weapons, no backup, and no strength. Just a gnawing hunger and a world that preys on the weak. But they are wrong about her. She is not just a helpless child. Deep inside... lies the mind of a veteran operative armed with modern knowledge. A sleeping beast waiting for the right moment to wake up. When danger inevitably comes knocking, the world will learn a terrifying lesson: You can strip a soldier of her armor, but you can never take away her lethality. From the dregs of the slums to the halls of the Royal Academy, this is the story of a girl who swore never to trust again—yet finds herself wielding her sword to protect once more. What to expect: Smart & Ruthless Female Lead: A protagonist who thinks before she acts and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty. Brains over Brawn: The MC has low mana capacity. She wins through strategy, modern martial arts (Judo/CQC), and physics—not by overpowering enemies. Psychological Depth: A realistic portrayal of trauma and trust issues. No instant "power of friendship." Magic Academy Arc: School life, but with high stakes, political schemes, and class discrimination. Weak-to-Strong: A steady progression where the MC earns her power through hard work and cleverness. Modern Knowledge: Using science to exploit magic systems. Cinematic Style: immersive descriptions. Perfect for readers who enjoyed: The tactical genius of "The World's Finest Assassin," the emotional depth of "Violet Evergarden,", the darkness of "Made In Abyss" and in the underdog triumphs of "The Irregular at Magic High School." If you are looking for a protagonist who uses science to defy magic and cold logic to survive betrayal, welcome to Maria’s world.

Never would I’ve thought that a simple water ball would awaken those feelings inside of me, as the day passed, memories falling to pieces together to awaken an ability that brings me trauma and dread towards the future. As the day passed, more knowledge and different future that lies ahead of me appeared and scare me. I tried to bear through the world, and see what kind of struggle I can make before stopping at the juncture where I can make a change. In this godforsaken world… I wonder, what change can I make? tldr: Claude was just a brat—a village troublemaker with a sharp tongue and a sharper mind—until a prank gone wrong awakened something terrifying and impossible.

So Claude trains. Under Paul Greyrat's sword. Alongside Rudeus' magic. With grit, secrets, and a plan no one can know.
