Chronicles of Tessera

Welcome to Tessera, a planet where consistency is uncommon. Every 13 days and 4 hours, the world hits the reset button in a terrifying, geological event known simply as the Shift. If you were planning to build a retirement home, tough luck, Tessera specializes in instant demolition and landscape reconfiguration, which is why civilization is long gone and humanity is hanging on by a thread. Meet Cyrus Solith, our socially anxious and perpetually conflicted protagonist. He’s not seeking glory; he’s seeking a single person he lost years ago. His internal life is a chaotic mess, but his external capabilities are anything but, thanks to the mysterious Patterns, geometric markings that grant extraordinary abilities. Cyrus finds himself reluctantly partnered with Rem, a hyper-logical genius who understands the world’s power system better than anyone, even without a Pattern herself. Their co-dependent journey is about survival, but fate has other plans, constantly pushing them toward the world’s central mystery: why did the Shifts start, and how can they possibly be stopped? The first leg of their epic journey throws them immediately into the deep end, forcing Cyrus to confront his greatest weakness...the habit of running away. If he wants to survive the next two weeks, he’ll have to get stronger, smarter, and face the fact that the person hunting him might be closer than he thinks. What You'll Find Inside: A Unique World: A constantly reconfiguring planet where life is a nomadic, high-stakes gamble. The Pattern System: A dynamic magic system based on geometry and mathematics. High-Stakes Combat: Intense, strategic fights where speed and intellect matter more than brute force. Complex Relationships: A strained, co-dependent relationship between an emotionally avoidant protagonist and his hyper-logical foil. Existential Mystery: A quest to uncover the planet's history and stop the cataclysmic Shifts before humanity vanishes entirely.

THE FOUNDRY PROTOCOL: IRON DOMINION

THE FOUNDRY PROTOCOL "Try not to die like a bitch this time." That was the last thing the System told me before it rebooted the timeline. I’m Jack Monroe, a construction manager who failed to save the world. In my first life, I died screaming on Day 30, ranked 47th out of 50 warlords, watching my fortress crumble because I cut corners on a concrete wall. Now, I’ve been sent back to Day 1 with a roadmap of the apocalypse carved into my skull and a 30-day countdown to a cosmic Server Wipe. Round Two isn't about heroics. It's about industry. Trapped in the toxic wasteland of East St. Louis, I have to turn a bankrupt chemical plant into an impenetrable Silo. I have to manage a crew of terrified laborers, a mutinous sheriff, and two System entities warring for my soul. The dead don't just walk—they evolve. Shamblers turn into Runners, Runners turn into Mutants, and my neighbors turn into looters. I have a plan. I have a blueprint. I have a shovel. And if you get in the way of my construction schedule, you’re going into the concrete mixer. Build. Harvest. Optimize. Welcome to the Cull. Genre: LitRPG, Post-Apocalyptic, Survival Horror Tags: Kingdom Building, Regression, Anti-Hero, Base Building, Zombie Evolution, Crunch (Stats), Gore, Ruthless Protagonist. Content Warning: This story contains graphic violence, strong language, body horror (System Sickness), and a protagonist who prioritizes survival over morality. Rated 18+

Regressor Ego Sword

If humanity is born wicked, why do we still yearn for justice, hope, and light? Are we cursed… or are we simply reflections of a corrupted world?” On the vast planet Gaia, three mighty empires dominate the continents of Teotl, Aether, and Lago, bound together by the ancient landlines known as Sindeis. Here, every living being carries within them a fragment of the world’s sacred essence — Ethere, the life force that flows through creation itself. Humans harness Ethere through four sub-productions: Aura, Ego, Mana, and Force. Animals channel the primal flow of Nature, while divine and demonic beasts wield Divinity or Sin, blessings and curses born from the gods themselves. In this age of chaos, the gods have abandoned Gaia, leaving the world to the mercy of the Seven Demonic Sins: ancient beings of destruction who once served the pantheon itself. Against them rose six heroes, mortals who transcended humanity and became known as the Superhumans, or as people called them... the New Gods. But even gods can fall. When the war against the Sins reached its end, only Kul-Kain the Golden, the Superhuman of Ruin, remained alive. In despair, he burned his very soul to strike down the divine Triad that had forsaken humankind — destroying gods, demons, and himself alike. Yet the story of the world does not end with death. Twenty-five years before the cataclysm, the soul of Kul-Kain awakens once more — trapped within a golden sword, the very blade gifted to him at his coming-of-age ceremony. Now reborn in his past, burdened with the memories of the future, Kul-Kain must face the question that shattered his faith: If the gods themselves are flawed, can a man become the one true Divinity?

I Became a Godslayer of a Broken World

Ashen Kade grew up in the Shatterlands, a place where mutants hunt the living and hope dies fast. He should have died too. The First World’s nuclear apocalypse was supposed to wipe out every human outside the Celestial Marches. Yet Ashen survived, and the secret behind that survival is something the gods never wanted uncovered. When a band of mercenaries drags him into their fight, Ashen is thrown into a world filled with Netherborn monsters, metahuman killers, and the warring powers of Solmir Peak and the Voidspire. Determined to rise above the ruins of his birth, he claws his way into Aurion’s Gate, the shining capital of the Celestial Marches, protected by the Temple of the Skyfather. The city is paradise on the surface. In truth, its light hides corruption deeper than anything in the wastes. Ashen endures brutal training, becomes a junior demon hunter, and finally earns a place in a world that hates him. Then the real chaos begins. The Nullstar Sect, the Red Covenant, and agents of the Voidspire all strike from the shadows. War erupts between the Celestial Marches and the Shatterlands, and Lord Vaelen Stroud seizes control of the holy armies. Ashen must choose who he is. A weapon of the Marches, or a son of the Shatterlands. Broken but unyielding, he returns home and builds Evergreen Bastion, a last haven for anyone the gods left behind. But Aurion’s Gate wants the Shatterlands crushed before they rise again, and the armies of the Radiant Concord are already marching. Ashen Kade will stand alone if he must. Against gods. Against monsters. Against fate itself. Because the Shatterlands are done kneeling.
