After finishing an otome game-themed novel, a man was pulled into its world by a message left on the final page. Upon arrival, he was enslaved, then assigned as a servant to the female antagonist—the very character he had despised while reading. What awaited him next was uncertain. Death, prolonged suffering, or something else entirely.

Summoned from Earth to a foreign world of magic and empires, the “Strays” — a group of teenage boys — were promised a new beginning. Instead, they were enslaved by the nobles who summoned them, treated as tools rather than people. Through pain, struggle, and loss, each of them found their own path to freedom — some through mercy, others through blood and escape. But freedom in this world is never simple. Haunted by their past and driven by the hope of returning home, the Strays set out on a journey across a land of war, politics, and magic — not as heroes, but as survivors seeking a way back to the world they once called their own. Their goal is clear: return to Earth. But the path home will test everything — their loyalty, their humanity, and the meaning of freedom itself.

The day the gates tore open across the sky, the world we knew crumbled overnight. Monsters flooded out from mysterious portals. The old laws became meaningless. Humanity was forced to adapt—or face extinction. In this new era, everyone can awaken skills, level up, and become the titans of the age. Heroes are born. Geniuses are worshipped. And the weak? They are discarded. Amidst the chaos, Alexander Magnus is nothing more than an ordinary delivery driver. No talent. No backing. Even the skill he finally awakens is branded as "useless." Scorned. Mocked. Viewed as nothing more than cannon fodder destined to vanish in a world ruled by monsters and absolute power. But there is one thing they don't know— That "trash" skill... can Rank Up infinitely. While others are shackled by their fixed potential, Alexander silently climbs from the abyss. With every evolution, the world is forced to rewrite its laws. In a modern city turning into a blood-soaked battlefield, a simple delivery man begins his path to shatter every rule ever written. This is the story of the man the world looked down upon— And how he rose to crush every definition of "strength" and "weakness."

A story that takes place around the year 1400s, is in an original country called Devandia, and like most other countries is one with unique features it has, as such it is the only place where magic or special types of energy flow everywhere. That’s not all as there are characters who are presented in this story and each showed their story, abilities, and tragedy each had witnessed. But it is focus on two individuals, that being Ralian Thorner the Druid Archer who left home, and Gale Night the wandering knight with an unknown origin, these two will have to witness many big level threats than there pay grade as they are normally bounty hunters who just needed a life to passed the time. But how will they do in this story placed in the medieval era and who will they meet and the battles each would have to face together a one as not all will make it. This series will contain all three major storylines, and will reveal more characters during the progression of the story.

In the smoke-choked slums of Ironhaven, seventeen-year-old Eli survives as a thief—stealing just enough to keep himself and his sickly younger friend Finn alive. In the Kingdom of Toren, magic is a death sentence, hunted by the brutal Inquisition. Eli has hidden his own magical gifts his whole life, afraid of being burned like so many others. When a desperate heist in a noble’s estate goes wrong, Eli is forced to use his magic to escape, exposing his powers and marking him as the Inquisition’s most wanted. With Finn’s life hanging in the balance, Eli is rescued by the Underground—a secret network that smuggles magic-users out of Toren and into the legendary Luminari Kingdom, where magic is celebrated, not feared. In exchange for passage, Eli agrees to carry a mysterious sealed cylinder across the war-torn Ashen Marches. But the cylinder is more than simple cargo—it’s the core component of a magical superweapon, designed by a radical faction within Luminari to annihilate Ironhaven and end the twenty-five-year war in a single, catastrophic strike. Guided by the hardened veteran Marcus and the sharp-witted border runner Nora, Eli navigates checkpoint patrols, burned villages, scavenger bands, and the haunted silence of the Marches. With each step east, he feels the cylinder’s ancient magic pulsing against his own—changing him, attuning him to powers older than the kingdoms at war. Upon reaching Luminara, the City of Light, Eli delivers the cylinder to Aldric Voss, a craftsman and ally within the resistance. There, he meets Vera Silver, an Academy instructor and political moderate working to stop the weapon’s completion. As Eli enters the Luminari Mage Academy to train his long-suppressed magic, he learns that his connection to the cylinder’s ancient core is unique—and may be the key to disrupting the weapon’s calibration before it can be fired. But the faction is watching. Councilor Renn, a political player with ambiguous loyalties, has taken notice of Eli’s unusual abilities. With the weapon’s activation scheduled in days, Eli must master his emerging powers, navigate Academy politics, and decide how far he’s willing to go to save the city he fled—and the people he left behind.

After binge-playing a game for seventy-two hours, the single-player streamer Yang Yu, who made his living selling game guides, quietly passed away in his bed. Unaware of his own death, he was invited by a deity to conquer an RPG game, and was persuaded into choosing the hardest civilian starter. Couldn't even defeat a single slime after leaving the novice village? Want to learn a taunt skill but have to actually verbally taunt? And the gacha only yields trash? Faced with numerous hardships, he actually... got excited. A true gamer never fears challenges; they only fear the game being too easy. As his sparse panel began filling out, Yang Yu felt an unprecedented satisfaction swell within him, and he became addicted to making waves, unable to stop himself. 'Hey? There seems to be a lone hero up ahead. Watch as I turn him into a unit of combat power! Damn, I’ve been spotted. Hero, don't run away!'

When the NHS flu jab accidentally reanimates the dead, civilisation doesn’t collapse so much as become *deeply inconvenient*. Oliver Finch — 27, unemployed, and aggressively average — wakes up to discover he’s been assigned a Class. **SPEARBEARER.** He doesn’t own a spear. He does, however, own a mop. As slow, politely shuffling zombies begin queuing outside Greggs, Ollie and four equally awkward strangers are nudged together by a mysteriously dramatic “System” that seems less interested in heroism and more concerned about retail stability. Armed with reinforced broom handles, overengineered barricades, and an alarming amount of duct tape, they must defend a small Devon retail park from relentless, mildly damp undead — and, worse, local council bureaucracy. The apocalypse has arrived. It’s organised. And it would like everyone to maintain proper spacing.

GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.

In a world where fantasy and reality are intertwined, a lonesome writer tries to have a happy ending. This is a story about stories.

Seventy-five years ago, the world changed. Dungeons descended. Monsters broke free. Humanity nearly fell. The Awakened rose as heroes. Guilds formed. Power became everything. Kael was never chosen. No awakening. No talent. No future. Until the night a dungeon did not descend from the sky but anchored inside his room. Not a normal dungeon. Not a registered gate. A Primordial Fragment. A prison world sealed by ancient law. A dragon bound in chains. A system that recognizes anomalies. He was the first unawakened to step inside. And the last person the world should have overlooked. While others climb ranks… He builds authority. While guilds fight dungeons… He commands them. This is the rise of the Primordial Sovereign.
