He almost died once, lost a few friends, fled his homeland, and then almost died again, but here he was, not really learning. "So dumb," the devil voice in his head whispered in disdain, "How more idiotic can you get?" "As far as idiocy goes deep," Lucian answered, accepting the new path of his life, "And it goes deep. And wide." Goal: get wealthy and powerful enough to afford more idiocy Current arsenal: blood, sweat, tears, and pure wits Start point: gardener End point: unknown ────────────────────────── Trigger warnings: ROMANCE, toxic love, conscious grooming, unreliable narration, trauma, self-aware hypocrisy, narcissism, superior complex, emotional manipulation, psychological abuse, explicit content, codependency THE CHARACTERS DO NOT BEGIN AS YANDERE.

I didn’t start this story with explosions or chaos. I started it with a question. What happens when curiosity goes too far? This novel follows a young programmer — gifted, disciplined, and quietly obsessed with understanding how things work. Not just machines. Not just systems. But the hidden structure beneath reality itself. He isn’t trying to change the world. He’s simply trying to solve a problem. But sometimes, solving the wrong problem at the right time can shift everything. This is a story about intelligence — human and artificial. About ambition. About the weight of creation. It moves slowly at first, like a line of code being written carefully, one character at a time. But every detail matters. Every decision has a consequence. There are no chosen ones here. No prophecies. Only choices. And once a choice is made… it cannot be undone.

I accidentally got into a dungeon and was on the verge of death when someone saved me. [The Constellation of Gates (GM) offers you a sponsorship. Would you like to accept?] A status window appeared. {YES}  {NO} Who in their right mind would say no at a time like this? So of course, I hit yes. And just like that, I became a cheat. No, a bug in this world. I started ranking up like crazy, gaining overpowered skills and god-tier treasures. But then a question hit me. Who exactly is this Constellation who helped me? And what does [GM] in his title even mean? Doesn't that usually stand for Game Master? Or maybe Grand Master? I didn’t really care at the time. He saved me, and that was good enough. So I brushed it all off like it didn’t matter. Until I met her again. My first love. [The Constellation of Gates (GM) is shocked to see you.] [The Constellation of Gates (GM) covers [his] face at your words.] ... Wait a damn minute. And that’s when I knew that "he" wasn’t a he but a she. and not only that, she was my long unrequited love!

Rania Ashveil woke up in a room too grand for someone who had just lost everything. What she didn't know yet was that she hadn't lost anything. She had just inherited the kingdom of Valdris along with everything that came with it: eight hundred and forty-seven million coins in debt, seven creditors, and ninety days before it all officially collapsed. Every minister was crying. The royal notary waited with the expression of a man who had made his peace with bad news some time ago. Rania, who until very recently had been an economist in Jakarta and had never heard the name Valdris in her life, asked for paper and started writing a list. Not a list of assets. A list of those who were most afraid of losing their money. In a world of swords and armies and inherited power, Rania arrived with exactly one weapon: the ability to see how systems work several steps further than anyone else in the room. Plus one strange ability she discovered when she first touched the kingdom's Ink of Binding, something that made the weight of every debt visible to her, hanging in the air above the heads of everyone she met. She didn't choose these tools. But she knew how to use them. And in a kingdom already halfway to collapse, sometimes the only thing that matters is someone who knows how to read a room correctly. The Debt Kingdom is not a story about a queen conquering the world. It's a story about someone with nowhere to go back to, who decides to build a home from whatever's left. With a younger brother who reads people better than he reads numbers, a head of security who was originally paid by the enemy, and a finance minister who had been right for eleven years without anyone listening, Rania faces seven creditors, one empire quietly moving soldiers toward her border, and a question heavier than all the debt combined: whether building something larger than yourself is reason enough to stay.

When you gaze into the Abyss, be prepared, lest it consume you when it stares back. Earth was no longer the same after its connection to the Abyss through the Eidolon planet. Vast beams of darkness streaked the clouds, and Nations turned into Strongholds to fight the never-ending servants of the Abyss– Null Creatures. To Lucamir, this was a world he was never meant to see. Never meant to be among, but despite all odds, where many fell– He stood. Succeeding in the trials of the Null Trance, Luca becomes an Egoist– Those who use the link of the Abyss to draw power from within—their true selves– Archetypes. Granted with the gift of not just one, but all Archetypes, Lucamir is thrown into a world where he is forced to choose: Will he become the Conqueror… or the Conquered? Yet, as you would have it, fate had other plans. You see, not many were like Lucamir. Not many were meant to be. While the Abyss rejected Humanity, it welcomed Lucamir as if he were one of its own. He wasn't going to become just an Egoist or a Conqueror. He would become the Abyss. ______ Note; This is not just a mere work of art, but an intricate world-building that has been worked on for a while. All flaws and failures from my former work, I Regressed and became the Sword Ice King, have been reviewed and refined to produce something I am proud of. While it is possible it may fall short to others, I reckon it's an absolute best of its own. Tap that read and give it a try. Add it to your library. You are surely in, for a ride. #FantasyScifi.

Resonance Weaving demands a perfect vessel. Kaelen Vane is a ruined splinter. Born with a fractured core, drawing ambient magic would boil his nervous system alive. This defect cost him his family crest and his inheritance. Now, his meager academy stipend is the only thing paying for his sick sister's medicine. Then the instructors issue a final ultimatum. Cast a spell in three weeks for the Crucible tournament, or face expulsion. Expulsion means his sister dies. Kaelen sneaks into the restricted archives to find a workaround. He unearths a banned practice from the First Era. Ancient mages bypassed human biology entirely, forcing raw energy into physical stones. The Academy outlawed the method centuries ago due to its lethal volatility. A single miscalculated frequency causes the conduit to detonate. Trading his winter coat for an obsidian sphere, Kaelen runs the math. He anchors a kinetic Thread. The resulting shockwave vaporizes his target. Armed with forbidden magic, Kaelen prepares to enter the brutal Crucible against the High House heirs. Every cast risks blowing his own hands off. He must calculate perfectly. He must fight ruthlessly. And first, he must deal with the academy's elite prodigy who just caught him in the act.
