EJ, a Celestial, and Nicholas, a Shadower, sworn enemies by nature, yet bound by a past that refuses to fade. Together, this forbidden pair delves into the secrets their realms have long buried, uncovering the truth behind the Seven Pillars that continue to haunt them both. When the Garnet burns, the Emerald will awaken. And the boy who was left behind… will choose what remains. On the night of the invasion, EJ clutched Nicholas’ bloodied hand as the world split apart. Flames rose from the streets, black curses clawed at the sky, and soldiers in golden armor cut through everything in their path, mortal, cursed, or innocent. EJ screamed his name, but Nicholas let go. The boy vanished into shadow, swallowed by the Underworld. And all that remained was the echo of a vow: “No matter what happens… I’ll protect you.”

Charlie is a nobody. In the small, forgettable town of Maplewood, Charlie barely exists. His days are spent in a haze of lethargy, slumped on a basement couch that smells faintly of regret. His body, soft and bloated, seems to mirror the weight of his apathy—a monument to years of bad decisions and the crushing inertia of laziness. His parents look at him with disappointment, his classmates avoid him like a bad smell, and the girls, even the kind ones, can barely disguise their pity. He’s bullied, mocked, and ignored, but Charlie doesn’t care. Not really. Or so he tells himself. Until one day, a moment so small and humiliating it shouldn’t matter tears open the carefully constructed wall of indifference he’s built around himself. For the first time in years, Charlie feels something stir deep inside—a spark of something raw, terrifying, and undeniable. Then, one night, everything changes. A system appears, a voice in his mind that speaks of transformation, power, and redemption. It offers him a choice: to stay as he is and sink deeper into the void of his existence, or to rise—literally—and reshape himself, body and soul. The system promises him a path, but it won’t be easy. To shed the weight of his old self, Charlie must first face the physical and emotional burdens he’s carried for so long. The path is brutal, filled with trials that test his mind, body, and spirit. But as Charlie begins to claw his way out of the pit of mediocrity, he discovers a world beyond Maplewood—a world of incredible challenges, impossible bodies, and a system that rewards transformation. The ultimate prize? A body forged by effort, determination, and resilience—a body of iron, plasma, and even the golden brilliance of the sun. But each step comes with its own cost, and the system’s promises may hide more than they reveal. Can Charlie rise above the weight of his past, or will the weight of the world crush him once and for all? I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com

Gods who call themselves Totems watch from above, measuring each act of kindness and cruelty. Every day, one contestant earns divine aid... but only in moments of desperate survival. In this game of invisible judgment, how long can morality hold against madness, temptation, and cosmic silence? And what truth lies behind the Totem's Contest itself?" it will begins now

Beneath the churning tides of a world with no surface, the Nactui people have known peace for generations—peace bought with strict traditions, ritual combat, and deep-seated fear of the shadows that bloom in mana-tainted water. Kaelen was never meant to be more than a tide-farmer. He’s not a warrior. He’s no tactician. He’s just one more soul in a quiet reef city trying to stay clear of exiles, shadowspawn, and politics. But when invaders descend from the stars and war machines tear through their ancestral home, Kaelen is thrown into a fight for survival that no one is ready for. Not the councils. Not the defenders. Not even the demi-god sleeping beneath the egg pools. Lost. Wounded. Alone. Kaelen’s only hope lies in awakening something buried deep inside him—something ancient. Something dangerous. As the tides shift and the galaxy begins to fracture, a reluctant hero rises from the abyss. And the world will never be the same.

A journey of a man shouldering the burden of humanity next great evolution. AN. I am writing this book as a way to relax so each chapter may be short and the publishing frequency will be disastrous.

Ye Fan, ascending toward immortality, accidentally reincarnates a century prior, awakening a monstrous talent to comprehend universal laws and foresee the future. He vows to reclaim his peak and dominate all realms. With brothers Ye Gui and Ye Can, he rises from the mortal Chu Kingdom, sweeps through Tianfu Academy with invincible might, and battles powerful foes in Zhongling Realm—only to taste destiny’s cruelty when beloved Beigong Xue, ensnared in conspiracy, becomes the Frost Saintess. A cascade of moonlight hair falls; one cry of “Master” severs their bond. To end the mortal realm’s cataclysm, he lays a trap with 800 million lives as bait, exposing humanity’s darkest core: “This world is broken.” Wang Guyun’s shattered howl shakes the heavens. Ascending to the immortal realm, harsher betrayals follow: seven billion cultivators defect; former comrade Han Qianzhan plunges into darkness. Ye Fan reforges the Celestial Court amid blood and fire, quelling rebellion with godlike mastery. Amid an immortal apocalypse, he reclaims Beigong Xue’s reincarnated self—Li Xuan. Breaking through to godhood, he unravels the ultimate truth: Beigong Xue endured three lives (Li Xuan, He Qingxue), weaving a millennia-long vigil and white-haired obsession into fate’s fabric. In the final battle, he forges divine arms with sacred beasts, sunders the Nine Heavens with one sword-strike, and ends the Ancient Emperor’s chaos with a Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin spectacle, reigning supreme over shattered spacetime as the true Invincible Celestial Emperor.

> “In the beginning, there was no Dao, no Heaven, no Law—only the Body.” Long before the first immortal soared beyond the skies, before sword saints carved mountains and alchemists bottled stars, there walked a man whose body alone defied fate. He was never named by the heavens. So the world called him the Hegemon. He did not refine Qi, nor cultivate the soul. While others meditated, he fought beasts with bare fists. When others chanted mantras, he shattered mountains to temper his bones. In the desolate wastelands of the Nine Realms, he forged nine cauldrons — not of metal, but of flesh, blood, and soul. Each one refined his body, transcending mortal limits. With every breakthrough, a cauldron rose from within him, roaring with elemental fury. The first let him tear iron with his fingers. The ninth let him punch through the sky. The Hegemon reached the peak where even Celestial Emperors bowed… and then he vanished. Some say he challenged the Heavenly Dao itself. Others claim he became a living law of the universe. What remained was his legacy, sealed within a tomb hidden beneath reality itself — the manual of body supremacy: Nine Cauldron Hegemon Body Arts. For ten thousand years, no one could inherit it. Until now.

When the sky tore open, the world ended. From the rifts came the Echoes — grotesque creatures that devoured entire cities in hours. Civilization collapsed. Governments vanished. And humanity learned the true meaning of extinction. Kairo was just seventeen when his sister was taken by the abyss. Five years later, he walks the ruins of a shattered world — broken, tattooed, and burning with vengeance. Armed with a blade forged in the Rift and powers he doesn’t fully understand, Kairo hunts the monsters that destroyed his past... and the truth hidden deep within the Abyss. But when he crosses paths with Lyra — a ruthless Hunter with a mysterious past and a scythe that drinks Echo blood — Kairo discovers that the world’s nightmare is only beginning. The rifts are evolving. And something ancient is waking beneath the surface. Blood. Memory. Fire. The Abyss is calling — and Kairo is ready to answer.

For Kled, there was no one living on Earth except him and the Guardians. That was all he had ever known. So what changed next? This knowledge, true for the world, was in the hands of Sylvana, who opened the door to exploring other worlds. Kled, who awakened at the age of five after killing his first monster in an unprecedented manner, was not only trained by the ancient guardians to ensure his survival. His mission was related to the survival of the entire living world. Kled, looking at the dazzling woman with his small body, fidgeted his knees, not remembering how long he'd been sitting there. He thought about the last thing he remembered. It felt like something had happened a long time ago. He had fainted somewhere, but he couldn't recall where and how. Wasn't he always here? For a five-year-old child, the thoughts running through his mind were difficult questions. "By the way... Congratulations on your awakening, my child..." As the woman took another sip of her tea, she continued to smile at little Kled. The golden bracelets on her arms jingled. "Is it like waking up from sleep? I always wake up." Little Kled smiled, thinking he understood correctly, and felt proud for some reason. Yet, he was confused. "Don't you always wake up too?" His eyebrows rose in innocent curiosity as he asked. The woman put her cup on the table, squinting one eye as if pondering, and placed her finger on her lip. "I suppose... I have completed all my awakenings!" When she opened her eyes again, her smile widened, and she leaned toward Kled. "This is a bit different from your normal awakenings. More like... being reborn into the same body."

The world believes the Alden bloodline died with the flames. But Riven Alden—prince turned exile—remembers everything. The screams. The betrayal. The night his kingdom was erased by those meant to protect it. Now, he's no prince. No crown. Just a name whispered in the ashes. Armed with nothing but a cursed sword and the rage of a thousand ghosts, Riven sets out to tear down the three monarchs who burned his past. This is not a hero’s tale. This is not redemption. This is the story of a man who lost everything— and what’s left when there's nothing but fire inside. Vengeance isn’t justice. It’s survival.

This new world teems with magic, terrifying monsters, and beings that defy human comprehension.

Communities rise from nothing as people band together, forming alliances and establishing bastions against the darkness that lurks beyond.

And will humanity survive long enough to discover the answer?
