ordinary

In the small forge town of Blue Star, Zion has spent his life as an unremarkable blacksmith's apprentice — quick with a hammer, quicker with his appetite, and utterly ordinary in a world where turning sixteen means something far more dangerous: an *Awakening*, the moment the void itself reaches into your life and demands you prove what you're worth. But Zion was never ordinary. He was *hidden*. Raised by the enigmatic Granny Iya — a woman who is far more than the stooped old smith she pretends to be — Zion has spent years unknowingly wearing a veil: a shard of black metal that dulls his presence and keeps him invisible to forces that would otherwise have found him long ago. When Granny Iya finally reveals the truth on the eve of her mysterious departure, she offers no comfort, only rules: never lose the veil, never speak of what happens after the Awakening, and above all — stay humble, because power makes fools loud, and loud fools die. Then she vanishes, leaving Zion alone with a hammer, a set of keys, and a secret he doesn't yet understand. When his sixteenth birthday arrives, the void's voice finds him mid-breath at the forge and drags him into an independent trial space — a realm of absolute dark where survival is the only currency. What should have been a manageable test against ordinary beasts spirals into something far more lethal: an *awakened* monster, a creature no sixteen-year-old should ever be forced to face. Bleeding, broken, and out of options, Zion draws on every brutal lesson Granny Iya ever beat into him — and somehow, impossibly, wins. The void rewards him accordingly. Zion emerges branded with abilities that shouldn't exist: a Supreme-grade sight that lets him perceive the hidden "seams" in reality itself, and a rare, evolvable bloodline capable of consuming the world's extremes and turning them into strength. Gifts that are the stuff of rumor and myth — gifts that mark him as something the world was never supposed to produce. He crawls back to the smithy floor bloodied and changed, staring at a town that slept through it all, innocent and unaware. Granny Iya's rules echo in his skull — *don't lose the veil, tell no one, be humble* — but Zion understands now that the life he knew is already ash behind him. What waits ahead isn't a quiet apprenticeship in a dusty town. It's a furnace: a road that will carry him far past Blue Star's borders, into a wider world of power, danger, and the very forces his guardian spent a lifetime hiding him from. Something noticed him. And now, awake, he has no choice but to go meet it.

In his tenth life, he intends to go directly to the queen, who was still studying at the academy as an imperial princess, not to kill her, but rather to help her and prevent a tragedy that would ultimately make her the cruelest queen.

From writing world-changing stories to directing films that redefined the industry, Regal was determined to become the biggest figure Hollywood had ever seen. His first step? Penning a book called＜Harry Potter＞and watching it take the world by storm. ===== Points to be noted: - This is a Parallel World. With different people, different backgrounds, and different ages. So, expect plenty of unexpected surprise cameos of celebrities. - No Harem (OC Female Lead). - The MC is not a money driven person, but he understands the practical need for success to bring his visions to life. - Don’t expect an overly realistic portrayal of Hollywood’s dark side, other issues, or any overly grim themes. - I am here to write a fun and entertaining story, not to delve into anything beyond that or political themes. ===== If you are enjoying the story and want to read early chapters, consider supporting me on Patreon! –> [email protected]/OrgoWriters .

Because this isn’t just their story—it’s a reminder that no matter how heavy life gets, we keep moving. Always.

Ryo Kenzaki was good at being invisible. Just another high schooler, keeping his head down and waiting for each day to end. Then a star fell from the sky. When Ryo pulls a dying woman from the crater it leaves behind, he learns the world he knows is already breaking. Beyond it lies the Hunting Realm—a place where monsters are born from fallen Hunters, and something is beginning to push through. Hunted by a creature he cannot understand, Ryo is dragged to a sanctuary between worlds and forced into a choice that was never really his: take up a Kizugami, a living blade forged from wounds, or die before dawn. But the blade doesn’t obey. It judges. As the weapon begins to search his soul, Ryo is pulled into a war he never asked to join—one shadowed by an impossible Eye in the sky, a relentless Kaimon on his trail, and an ending that may already have been decided. Ryo never wanted to be a Hunter. But if becoming one is the only way to protect what remains, he’ll have to answer a far more dangerous question: When the world strips everything from him, can he still stand as himself once more?
