Shadow Slave | Sleepless Dreamer

Set in the Shadow Slave world...a time before Sunny was born...this story follows a simple soldier who must survive in a dystopian, apocalyptic landscape where magic and gun warfare collide. In a far-off Quadrant known as North America, a young soldier named Hope is 16 years old when he gets infected by the Nightmare Spell. He passed! But...he feels a bit scammed...? A flaw that makes him fade from people's memories... A cursed attribute that makes him remember everything endlessly in eternal wakefulness... It's as if the Spell is twisting his future and existence into an almost improbable one. All he has ever known his purpose to be was to serve as a simple soldier. Not too powerful. But not so weak either. And maybe, just maybe like some others, become an Awakened. Although he never dreamt of being one. Now that his whole life is compromised after his First Nightmare, his first objective is to survive on his own. But as he tries to escape his fate, his actions seem to lead him further from his goal. He struggles against obstacles that slowly grow bigger and out of proportion. Maybe the Dream Realm and the Real World aren't so different than one may think. Hope's journey involves uncovering secrets and gaining knowledge about his true nature and his new role in the world. Is he fit to be a hero? Could he redefine it? *** Please read the READER DISCLAIMER in Volume 0. This is my spin-off novel of "Shadow Slave" by Guiltythree. But please don't expect the same writing style, setting, and characters, especially the main character. This story reveals more about how people/cities/governments operate after the Spell’s arrival. I always find it interesting how maybe one country handles it fairly, but how others handle it with desperation to the point that you question humanity. There will be easter eggs pointing to the original novel either intentional for the plot or unrelated to it, but all for fun. I am a new author so props to all who bear with me and helps me improve my writing. If it is not for you, please don't leave outright hate comments. Eat wassabi instead if you want pain. Critique and advice would be great too. Cover Art: @ellieaedon I will be posting on RoyalRoad.com and on AO3 for some people's preferences.

The Dimensional Manifold

“Realities shatter. Creatures beyond mortal comprehension defy the heavens. The very strands of existence tremble in chaos. Amidst the void and the ruin, The Chosen Creator—the Absolute Origin—shall rise. And in his glory, creation itself shall flourish once more.” So spoke the prophecy of beginnings. Lucas Aetherion—the destined bearer of those words—was once nothing more than an ordinary human from Earth. A mortal man with humble dreams, seeking nothing beyond a peaceful life. Yet, gifted with an intellect that transcended his era, he climbed to the very peak of human achievement. Then, fate intervened. By powers unknown, Lucas was torn from his world and thrust into a fragile mainstream reality where talent was absolute and intellect meant nothing. Stripped of the tools that once defined him, he refused to bow to destiny. Bit by bit, through unyielding will and ceaseless struggle, he forged a path that none before him had dared to tread. He rose higher than any being of that world—until calamity struck. From the depths of the cosmic void emerged a creature of unbounded size and incomprehensible power. An existence that defied definition, whose mere presence fractured worlds. Lucas fought until his final breath, defending the fleeting peace he had built—only to fall, his heart heavy with regret. But fate, in its cruel amusement, refused him rest. Instead, it cast him once more across the rivers of existence—into one of the mightiest realities ever conceived. This time, however, he awoke armed with an absolute system, a construct of limitless potential that transcended logic and law alike. And so began the rise of Lucas Aetherion— the Chosen Creator, the bearer of the Absolute Origin, the man destined to rebuild creation from the ashes of its collapse. Author's Note: Mc is currently in his first reality....

SSS Ranked Awakening: All My Skills Are at Level 100

30000+ Words Before Locked ______ Leon never asked for greatness. He just wanted to escape his flirty stepbrother and survive another miserable day. But fate had other plans—delivered by a lightning bolt and a cosmic accident. Reborn in a brutal world of mana, monsters, and cultivation, Leon starts at the bottom. No legacy. No allies. No system. Just seven divine treasure spins. And then—everything changes. [Class: Elemental Paragon(SSS)] A class whispered only in dread. A name that doesn’t exist—only a myth followed. Along with the class came another gift. [Ding!] [Host successfully connected to Cosmic System!] Unlike the standard system others in his world use, Leon’s was different. It came with features no one else had—like a mysterious [SHOP], filled with items so rare they bordered on myth. Treasures that could warp reality. Twist fate. Even in the lowest of the low Earthly Planes, Leon could purchase artifacts of Legendary or even Mythical rank. But every treasure had a cost—one no amount of gold could pay. And then there was the [CHAT]. A place where the most terrifying beings in existence—galaxy-shattering Absolutes and universe-warping entities—casually exchanged words. Like The Keeper of The Dimensions, Lord of Space and Time… In that chat, Leon was mistaken as one of them. One of the powerful. One of the untouchable. In reality, he was weaker than a worm compared to them. But that wouldn’t last. Leon made himself a quiet promise: 'One day, I’ll meet them for real.' 'And when I do…' 'I won’t be mistaken anymore.' He’ll rise. He’ll reach the apex. ____ #NO NTR #NO Yuri ____ Discord: https://discord.gg/yD2GXRHHfp Patreon for exclusive content. https://www.patreon.com/c/DesEnd596 If you want to force me to write extra chapters, Kofi link below.
