Re: Tales of the Rune-Tech Sage

In a realm rife with war and conquest, only the strong and cunning may survive. Planar travel has become the determinant of strength. Nobles and powerhouses travel the myriad planes, invading and plundering them to increase their personal strength, grow their military might and fund their endless wars. A systems engineer and lifelong web novel reader is reborn as Alex Fury—a young noble dismissed as talentless by his own family. Struggling to awaken his family’s bloodline talents and the warrior potential his family expects of him, Alex is sent off to a Mage Tower. His fate is clear: forge a path for himself... or lose everything. Blending the system engineering and web novel knowledge of his previous life with the Rune knowledge of his new world, Alex Fury creates a revolutionary new form of magic unique to him... RuneTech Magic. From runic artificial Intelligence to interplanar communication networks; From rune-powered super soldiers to rune-crafted power armours (and mechas), from new energy sources to perpetual energy. With this marriage of science, technology and the arcane, Alex will usher in advances previously thought unattainable in his new world, and his old one. This is a tale of power, rebellion, ambition- and legacy. Empires will rise to crush him. Worlds will try to deny him. But with intellect, invention- and just a spark of madness, he will carve his name into history. Witness the birth of the Rune-Tech Sage, and the beginning of a legend that will echo across worlds.

THE SILENT SYMPHONY

In a world that only hears shouts, his silence is a weapon. Orphaned and mute, Mateo Álvarez communicates through the beautiful game. After a tragic accident steals his voice, it grants him something else: an extraordinary ability to see the flow of play before it happens, a gift he calls The System. On the pitch, he is a prodigy, a conductor of silent symphonies, reading the game with a genius that leaves scouts and legends in awe. His talent earns him a destiny at FC Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy. Under the wing of mentors like Pep Guardiola and Lionel Messi, Mateo flourishes, his dream of one day representing Spain on the world stage feeling closer than ever. He becomes their golden boy, a symbol of pure footballing intellect, and the heart of a new generation. But when the club’s soul is traded for corporate interests, Mateo’s greatest strength is recast as a liability. To the new board, a star who cannot speak is a star who cannot sell. Betrayed by the institution he called home, the boy who dreamed in goals is cast out at sixteen, his future shattered. Now, Mateo must journey beyond the only home he’s ever known. Armed only with his preternatural gift and a resilience forged in silence, he must find a new team willing to listen not to his voice, but to his vision. His quest is no longer just for club glory, but to prove a devastating truth to those who discarded him: that the most powerful language in football isn’t spoken at all. The Silent Symphony is an unforgettable underdog story about the corruption of dreams, the beauty of resilience, and the unspoken bonds that define us. It's a journey across the fierce landscapes of European football to reclaim a stolen destiny, one perfect pass at a time. **** DISCLAIMER: The contents of 'THE SILENT SYMPHONY' is entirely a work of fiction.

The Weaver of the Frozen Meridian

"Assets: None. Liabilities: The entire clan. Strategy: Hostile Takeover." In the Great Zhou Empire, the bloodline determines destiny. The Dragon burns the sky, the Tiger shatters the earth, and the Phoenix governs rebirth. Then there is the Nether Spider. Regarded as a "trash" bloodline suitable only for concubines and seamstresses, it is given to the weak to ensure they remain servants forever. It offers no explosive power, only the ability to weave soft, sticky silk. Rian, the illegitimate son of a maid, was never meant to survive the Age of Coming. Poisoned by the Matriarch and left to rot, his body was meant to be a forgotten footnote in the family ledger. But the God of Revenge intervened—and made a mistake. Instead of a vengeful warrior, he shoved the soul of a ruthless modern Investment Banker into the boy's dying body. When Rian wakes up, he doesn't scream for justice. He checks his pulse, calculates his odds, and realizes the cultivation world is suffering from a massive market inefficiency. They call the Nether Spider weak? Rian sees a biological monopoly. While Dragons run out of Qi, Rian eats his own webs to fight forever. While Tigers rely on sight, Rian feels the heartbeat of a liar through the vibrations in the floor. While Phoenixes burn resources, Rian turns the frozen, deadly borderlands into a fortress of invisible steel. Exiled to the frozen north to die, Rian smiles. The cold is good for business. He will not defeat his enemies with a shout. He will weave a web so vast that by the time the Dragons realize they are trapped, their assets have already been liquidated. Let them be the kings of the sky. Rian will be the god of the strings.
