magic

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.

At Lumenrift University, lacelining—the art of stitching across universes—is the measure of brilliance, and Eleanor Kostova has never been able to do it. Marked by a restless multisigil that refuses to settle, she struggles under the shadow of her mother, one of the most revered Laceliners in history. But when a training accident draws a Nullith into her world and forces her into her first crossing, Eleanor is thrust into a universe where no one has ever heard of lacelining, or of the Interlace at all. There she meets a young physicist who believes the multiverse is only a theory. As Nulliths stalk their every step and the Interlace itself begins to shift around her, Eleanor must decide whether to return home—or accept that her place lies in the one universe where she was never meant to exist.

After transmigrating into the Harry Potter world, Wayne awakened the Demon King System. As long as he caused chaos and broke school rules, he would receive rewards. Thus, Hogwarts entered its most tumultuous period. Dumbledore: "A school life without breaking rules is incomplete, but Wayne... please tone it down a little." McGonagall: "I thought the Weasley twins were unbeatable, but Wayne is even more daring!" Professor Sprout: "Since he arrived, the Hufflepuffs have become fearless troublemakers." Snape: "Azkaban! He belongs in Azkaban!" Voldemort: "Forget the Chosen One—I just want Wayne Lawrence dead! Now, immediately, right this second!" Wayne shrugged helplessly: "I’m just a bit lively. Why is everyone so eager for me to graduate?" Read Advanced Chapters at Patreon.com/BoydyTL

[Undead Synthesis | Entry Fusion | Ruthless | Witch Transformation | Slight Yuri Undertone] This world is insane. Gods who’ve lost themselves. Witches who’ve stolen divinity. A Church that publicly worships gods — yet secretly covets their power. Nobles who appear honorable — yet devour people whole behind closed doors. If one were to summarize the entire continent’s history in a single phrase, it would be: “The weak are prey, and profit rules all.” Earthling Hemu reincarnated into such a rotten world — as a minor lord despised by all nobles. Assassinations, ambushes, poisonings, false accusations, rebellions — there’s no “most devious,” only “more devious.” Fortunately, the Transmigrator Administration Bureau hadn’t forgotten to hand out cheats: the ability to plunder others’ entries, fuse entries into stronger ones, and raise an invincible army of the undead. Since the ruling class refused to play fair, she decided to flip the entire board instead. “Assassinate me? Fine — I’ll slaughter your whole family.” “Frame me? Then don’t blame me for framing you back.” “Rebel against me? Too bad — I already control your soldiers.” Manipulating souls, rewriting minds, constructing a Soul Network and building an Underworld in another realm, using alchemy to forge titanic giants, modifying bloodlines to create the ultimate race — and when technology wasn’t enough, she’d simply fuse entries to break all limits. Step by step, she ascended the path to godhood. Yet, who could have foreseen — that the world’s calamity, the ruler of death, the “Little Western Lord” of Heim, the eternally youthful Loli Reaper, the legendary Death Witch, Hel Heim — would one day come to regret most of all the moment she placed upon herself that damned [Witch] entry.

Ren thought getting sacrificed and becoming a holy spirit was rock bottom—until he discovered his divine wife, the Goddess of Magic, is completely broke on faith power. That means his remaining soul would completely disappear. Turns out magicians are the worst believers ever! Ren has a crazy idea: if magicians won't pray willingly, make them pray to access the internet. Starting with a simple magic forum, Ren introduces this fantasy world to the addictive power of online connectivity. Want Q&A sessions on spell theory? Pray first. Need to livestream your dragon research? That'll be one prayer, please. E-commerce shopping for rare magical components? Prayer required for checkout. The moment Ren becomes the God of Technology, this world's whole vibe goes haywire. What begins as a desperate faith-farming scheme spirals into something far bigger. Soon dragons are running delivery services, apprentices are binge-watching magical tutorials, and even gods are competing for subscriber counts. Magic cars cruise the streets, magic trains thunder across continents, and when apprentices start wielding magic ray guns against seasoned magicians, everyone realizes this world has changed forever. From a simple forum to consciousness uploading and biological immortality—when technology crashes into magic, the explosion reshapes reality itself. After all, why choose between science and magic when you can have both?

In a fractured archipelago where myth intertwines with reality, the ancient relics of the gods—referred to as Sandata—have awakened. Forged in the Spirit Forge, prior to the existence of flame or tide, these divine weapons were never intended to be wielded lightly. Now, they pulse with newfound power as spirit breaches tear open the veil between worlds, unleashing echoes of grief, rage, and forgotten wars. From the shadows of Quezon City’s “God’s Locker,” five orphaned children are chosen—not for their physical strength, but for their resilience in the face of adversity. Bound to the relics of Bathala, Makiling, Lam-ang, Bernardo Carpio, and Dumalapdap, they form the Sandata Unit: a covert force trained to seal breaches and silence horrors that speak in forgotten tongues. Their victories are erased, their names redacted, yet the Forge remembers. Twelve years after the Basilan Spirit Breach nearly unravels reality, Gregorio Aguilar—once the captain of the Sandata Unit—leads a quiet life working at a call center. However, when glyphs begin to flicker and whispers in the shadows call his name, the past resurfaces. A reunion with Marian Dela Fuente unveils a chilling truth: the relics are converging, and someone is hunting the pieces of Kamay ni Bathala to rewrite reality itself. As the Sandata Unit reassembles—comprising Agosto Santos, Renato Ramirez, and the enigmatic Maximo Imperial—their journey leads them from the haunted highways of Clark to the war-torn coastlines of Bataan. They confront ambushes from myth-tech assassins, rogue wielders, and militarized cults. Each battle reveals layers of betrayal, exposing a deeper conflict among factions: the militant Babaylans, the criminal organization Ahas ng mga Lakan, and the shadowy Anino ng mga Anitos. The true reckoning commences when Gregorio merges with the Eyes of Bathala, unlocking divine powers that bend time, unravel illusions, and tether souls. As the Temple of Lakapati falls under siege, alliances fracture, and the gods themselves intervene. The Sandata Unit faces a pivotal choice: to wield power like gods or to remain human enough to resist it. From the depths of Kasanaan to the heights of myth-tech warfare, Sandata Act 1 presents a cinematic epic of Filipino myth reborn. It is a tale of relics, rebellion, and the profound cost of becoming a legend. “Some storms do not end—they widen.”

Mysterious gates appeared all around the world a few decades ago. Beings emerged from the gates and brought disaster upon humanity. Humanity called them Demon Spirits. It wasn’t until the advent of Demon Suits and Demon Suiters that humans stood a fighting chance. For some perplexing reason, the world’s number one Demon Suiter, Li "God" Xiu abandons his identity to start over again as a newbie trial-taker. He enters the gates to participate in all sorts of trials, in a bid to seek out the reason that enticed his best friend into becoming a trial-taker. These trials weren't the run-of-the-mill dungeons, ranging from game sports (soccer, basketball, baseball, etc) to athletics. Just as fortune favors the brave, what would Li Xiu obtain on his quest? “Are you telling me he’s a greenhorn?” the other trial-takers frustratingly ask while watching Li Xiu's feats that prove why he's the number one Demon Suiter.

He controls their desires... ...but he's losing control of everything else. Jonathan Night's world collapses when a mysterious email transports him to Adearath, a brutal fantasy realm where sorcerers are hunted and his every touch drives women to uncontrollable lust. Marked for death by the Empire's ruthless Inquisition, Jonathan must master a power he barely understands while fleeing across a continent where danger and desire lurk behind every corner.

And Painsley, a fellow sorcerer with a taste for monsters. Together, they'll face goblins, corrupted priestesses, breeding catacombs, and the Empire's deadliest hunters. But Jonathan's arousal-control ability comes with a price. Every touch corrupts. Every orgasm binds. And the women falling under his spell grow addicted to pleasures both human and monstrous. When an entire city burns in his wake and the Emperor himself joins the hunt, Jonathan faces a choice: keep running, or embrace the dark power within and become the very thing the Empire fears most. Another Dread Sorcerer. In a world where tentacles writhe, beasts breed, and magic intertwines with carnal desire, survival demands more than courage. It demands complete surrender. Emperor Night is an explicit dark fantasy isekai featuring heavy NTR themes, monster encounters, harem-building, and graphic sexual content. This book contains dubious consent, corruption, breeding, gangbangs, and extreme adult situations. Not for the faint of heart.
