Knowledge is currency. Alchemy is knowledge. Most of the world doesn’t know alchemy exists. Those who do call it heresy. Those who practice it call it ascension. A man wakes in the lightless depths of Tauran City Prison with no records, no history—only a modern vocabulary that doesn’t belong to him. In a facility built to process human bodies, ignorance is a death sentence. To survive the lower floors, he bonds with a parasitic alchemical metal—an artifact that grows stronger through blood, memory, and use. It is a weapon, a tool, and a cost he does not yet understand. Guided by a man who knows too many and a girl who should not have lived this long, he descends through a system where alchemy is graded, identities fracture, and power is never free. You are not a prisoner. You are a specimen. And ascension has already begun.

In a world where magic is regulated, taxed, licensed, and audited, heroism is just another department. Kael Ryn is a Grade-E Civil Mage employed by the Ministry of Ritual Oversight—an underfunded government bureau responsible for “minor magical disturbances.” While S-rank heroes battle dragons beyond city walls, Kael handles the real problems of everyday life: enchanted mailboxes demanding rent, potions that develop side effects after gaining self-awareness, illegally summoned familiars clogging public transit, and cursed furniture that won’t stop whispering at 3 a.m. In a society governed by an ancient magical administrative entity known only as The Ledger, every spell cast is recorded, every citizen ranked, and every miracle accounted for. The Ledger assigns power, permissions, social class, and magical authority. No one questions it. Until it begins to glitch. At first, the errors are small—misfiled spell logs, minor enchantments behaving unpredictably, everyday objects bending rules they shouldn’t know exist. But Kael discovers something no one else can see: a hidden layer beneath reality displaying arcane error codes and administrative fractures. When he resolves anomalies manually—without logging them through official channels—Kael unintentionally accumulates “Unauthorized Authority.” Each quiet fix gives him the ability to override micro-laws of magic itself. Rewrite spell boundaries. Patch corrupted enchantments. Adjust permissions. The more he fixes, the more reality listens to him. But The Ledger is still watching. As bureaucratic departments clash, heroes hide inconsistencies in their battle records, and entire districts begin overlapping with discarded divine subroutines, Kael realizes the system governing their world isn’t failing by accident. Someone is testing its limits. And Kael—the lowest-ranked civil servant in the city—may be the only one capable of rewriting the rules before daily life collapses into administrative catastrophe. In a world obsessed with epic destinies, Kael Ryn just wants to finish his paperwork. But the system has other plans.

"What happens after Death?" A lot of people asked this question across as the history of mankind, various religions have their own answers, mostly saying that the good people go somewhere nice and the bad people somewhere horrible. But how about those who don't believe in any religion? or that are truly neutral beings? Where does these people go? Vincent Vanlore, a thirty-somenting year old man with a very ordinary and boring life, just found out the answer, when suddenly found himself sitting on a I'll colored waiting room for a work interview he never asked for, to a company he never knew about. Turns out the afterlife for him is just a very tiring office job, and his biggest enemies are old confused souls and the horrible malfunctioning computer

Hi! My name is [Redacted], but most people just call me Focaccia Bread — or Foca. I’m writing this mostly for fun, but also to share my stories, my questionable life choices, and the music that somehow came out of them. Come along for the ride as I recount how I accidentally built a successful entertainment company and somehow helped create actual music legends. Fair warning: I do not tell stories in order. My brain jumps timelines like a fever dream, so expect chaos, time skips, and zero apologies. I’m weird. I’m quirky. I embrace it with both arms and half a bagel. I know — I’m cringe. But at least I’m free. XD If you wanna listen to the Jams (Music) appearing here, you can go listen to them in YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@FocacciaBread-Music) or Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/artist/0ecDiwv85yqoktTR4h569L?si=CHJzNohaTwiTgukcKickMQ) and other streaming platforms.

At first, I didn't care much. But, after out of nowhere I gained an ability to see someone's stats using the standard idol stats system. This alone changed my life.

Born with nothing, raised by struggle. This is not the story of a hero, but of an ordinary boy fighting an extraordinary life. With no money, no support, and no shortcuts, he faces poverty, rejection, and countless failures. His dreams are mocked, his efforts ignored, and his voice unheard. Yet, every night, when the world sleeps, his determination wakes up. This story is about pain that teaches strength, tears that create courage, and a mindset that refuses to quit. When life pushes him to the ground, he stands up again—stronger, wiser, and more determined. This is a journey from zero to self-belief. A reminder that no matter how hard life becomes, giving up is never an option.

The world of Formula 1 is defined by tenths of a second and hundreds of millions of dollars. It’s a relentless machine that rewards winners and discards men like James Hartley. At fifty-eight, James was a failed team executive: a journeyman whose lifetime of "almosts and not-quites" culminated in a single, devastating mistake that cost him everything. His career, his legacy, and his life ended in a blinding flash on an Abu Dhabi street. But death, it turns out, was just a pit stop. He wakes up in the body of Jack Hartley, a brilliant but naive twenty-two-year-old engineering graduate... in 1975. This was the raw era of canvas racing suits, tobacco sponsorship, and cars that were bombs on wheels. It was F1 before the obscene money, before the corporate politics. It was pure. Now, James has a second chance in his own youth. With his fifty-eight years of failure, 2025 technological foresight, and perfect knowledge of every future FIA regulation, he’s not just going to survive. He’s going to build a team from scratch and transform a dangerous, forgotten era of racing. The greatest gamble of James’s life wasn't on the pit wall; it was the chance to become the winner he was always meant to be. But in a brutal, analog world, will modern genius be enough to conquer fate?

The government calls it Section Four. The men call it Free Use. Monday evening was mundane. Marcie and Samson were painting models, waiting for dinner, and dreading the work week. Then the news anchor unzipped his fly on live TV. To combat a national mental health crisis, Parliament has turned every woman aged eighteen to fifty-five into a "Public Asset." The rules are simple: men have needs, and women must legally service them. Refusal means prison. For Marcie, the mandate is a death sentence for her autonomy. She is now property, accessible to anyone who asks. For her boyfriend Samson, it’s a test he isn’t sure he can pass. He promises to keep her safe, to hide her away, but the world outside their apartment has gone instantly, violently mad. And looking out the window, Samson can’t help but notice that every other man is having the time of his life. The law just stripped her of her rights. Now it’s coming for her relationship

I Stayed Until I Was No Longer Needed A Love Realized Too Late I met her by accident—on a day that should have ended in tragedy. I saved her life, but I didn’t know then that I would spend years quietly losing my own to loving her. What began as an unspoken connection turned into a long season of waiting. I stayed close, never crossing the line, never asking for more than she was willing to give. When she chose another man and married him, I stepped back without resentment—believing that love, if real, should never demand to be chosen. Years later, she returned to my life under different circumstances. Widowed. Broken. Alone. I offered my presence again—not as a savior, not as a replacement, but as someone who had never truly left. She refused me. Repeatedly. Eventually, I stopped waiting. I chose a different life. I built something stable, something real—with someone else. And only then did she finally see me. This is not a story about stolen love or second chances. It is about timing, restraint, and the quiet cost of being the one who stays too long. Because sometimes, love is not lost by leaving— but by realizing too late who was always there. Inspired by true emotions.
