A Moment In Destiny

In a galaxy governed by the Universal Ranking System, power is quantified, and destiny is dictated by an omnipotent algorithm. Every being, from the lowliest drone to the most elite warrior, is assigned a rank that determines their worth, access, and fate. For centuries, the system has maintained order but now, it’s breaking down. Kael Arvid, a disgraced pilot turned rogue hacker, lives in the shadow of his former rank. Once a rising star in the Interstellar Fleet, Kael was stripped of his status after a catastrophic mission that left him questioning the system’s integrity. When he stumbles upon a hidden code buried deep within the algorithm a code that could dismantle the entire hierarchy—he becomes the most wanted man in the galaxy. Pursued by the ruthless Ascendancy Corps, Kael must forge uneasy alliances with outcasts, rebels, and rogue AIs who have their own reasons for wanting the system destroyed. But as Kael delves deeper into the code, he uncovers a chilling truth: the system isn’t just ranking lives it’s controlling them. And it has a plan for Kael that could either save the galaxy or doom it forever. As the ranking system spirals into chaos, Kael must decide whether to destroy the algorithm, seize control of it, or transcend it entirely. In a universe where every choice is quantified, Kael’s defiance could spark a revolution—or ignite a war that will consume the stars.

In the world of Aethelgard, fate is not written in the stars—it is decided by the cards you hold. While the nobles of the Spire are born with legendary Golden Decks filled with dragons, holy magic, and divine relics, the poor are left with broken scraps barely worth surviving with. Kai is nothing more than a nameless mine slave with no Deck, no status, and no future. But when a deadly cave-in uncovers a hidden flaw in the world’s perfect system, his destiny changes forever. Buried beneath the ruins, Kai discovers [The Wildcard]—a corrupted card capable of becoming anything. A god-slaying sword. A forbidden spell. A monstrous beast. Or… a useless wooden spoon. Unstable, unpredictable, and feared by the system itself, the Wildcard turns Kai into a threat to the very order of Aethelgard. Armed with a chaotic deck forged from literal trash, stolen relics, and impossible combinations, Kai enters the brutal climb of the Spire where every duel is a gamble and every defeat means death. To survive, he must outplay nobles, crush legendary card wielders, and uncover the truth behind the Deck system that controls the world. Because in Aethelgard, power belongs to those lucky enough to draw it. But Kai was never lucky. He cheats fate itself. A dark fantasy progression novel packed with ruthless battles, evolving cards, deadly tower climbs, and a zero-to-overpowered journey where the weakest slave may become the greatest wildcard the world has ever seen.

What if I told you that they were right? That Bigfoot, The Abominable Snowman, The Loch Ness monster and yes, even The Boogey man were actually real? What if I told you your parents were right when they told you that there are monsters and demons that lurked in the shadows at night? I have seen those monsters, through visions of prophecy and none have baffled me more than The Marauder and The Supremes. Beings even Science could not explain, creatures that held godlike power for so long and walked among us as both oppressors and at times, as saviors. This is one such prophecy I had that I had to put on paper. Call it a story if you wish (it would actually make me feel less crazy).

And by finding out his destiny, Brendan is torn between fighting for the humans who resented him and joining forces with the callous yet beautiful witch, Finch, who claims to have his best interests at heart. This...is The Legend Of Marauder
