Jack Snyder suffered a huge car accident. Time went by, and he heard a girl’s voice calling Nozomu Shinchaku. Jack slowly opened his eyes and an unknown girl was crying in front of him, but everything about her was wrong. Long blue hair, yellow eyes, cat ears instead of normal Human ears. Jack glanced at her hand and saw sharp and long fingernails caressing his face. A fluffy blue tail was trembling behind her, signalling her worries. Jack saw a pool of blood on the ground near a rock, and he had a big bandage on his head. Strangely, his soul travelled to a young boy’s body, that judging by the pool of blood, died because of that rock. Now, he has to learn how to live in a strange Magical World as the Human teenager Nozomu Shinchaku that strangely can’t use Magic, and Magic has no effect on him. “Definition of sidekick: - A sidekick is someone who goes with the main lead on their adventures. If he is a superhero, the sidekick helps fight crime. Sometimes this word signifies an imbalance of power, and it implies that the sidekick is less powerful than the main lead. - Sidekick is one of the most effective forms of attack in a street fight. Hard kicks especially to the knee can take a larger opponent down or at least blow out his balance, leaving him vulnerable to follow-up shots.” *I intend on keeping this story free till it's finished.* *cover by Aisling Elizabeth Robinson and me*

The god is dead, but its memory is hungry. Three thousand years ago, the god Tharos fell. Today, his fossilized remains—the Lorn Expanse—serve as the lifeblood of an empire. In the shadow of the Ribs of Lorn, the Empire of the Spine mines god-bone and harvests aetherich to power a civilization of brass and gears. But for those who toil in the dust, the cost of progress is madness. Kael is a survivor of the bone mines, forever changed by a catastrophic collapse in Chamber 19. While others died from the weight of divine essence, Kael woke with the "hum" in his blood. He now hears the frequencies of the dead god and tastes memories trapped in the dust—a gift that feels more like a slow-acting poison. He wants only to survive the grueling life of a scavenger, hiding the resonance that marks him as different. Everything changes when he encounters Ilara, a woman whose voice carries a power that shouldn't exist. She is a Vessel, capable of singing raw god-bone into life, and she is being hunted by the Empire’s mechanical enforcers. The Empire has spent centuries trying to stabilize divine energy, but Kael and Ilara represent something they cannot control: a living connection to a waking god. As the "Thrice-Born" prophecy stirs and the ground beneath the salt flats vibrates with a terrifying new rhythm, the two must flee toward the heart of the god’s corpse. In a world where technology is fueled by the sacred and bone-tech determines the hierarchy of man, Kael and Ilara must decide if they are the harbingers of a new era or the final echoes of a dying god's scream. https://www.royalroad.com/profile/869094/fictions

Born into a noble family and endowed with tremendous power, exceptional talent, and unparalleled physical attractiveness, one might assume these qualities to be blessings. However, are they truly advantageous or rather a curse? Allen Frey, a young man destined to inherit the illustrious lineage of Duke Frey in the Kingdom of Eldoria, finds himself entangled in this very predicament. Given his extraordinary social standing and the multitude of advantages at his disposal, it seems inevitable that Allen will lead a prosperous life and ascend to greatness in due course. What if this perceived fortune is merely an intricate facade, perpetually deceiving him at every twist and turn? What if it's all an elaborate lie? A hero summoned from another world with the mission to vanquish the Demon Emperor ultimately becomes the perpetrator, stripping Allen of everything he holds dear—his fiancée, sister, power, strength, and all that he possessed. Does this constitute fate? Even the figure known as the "Hero" ultimately eradicated his very existence. Can this be considered justice? In the final moments of his life, he gazed upward at the serene sky, mustering every ounce of strength to reach out his trembling hand. "Oh, God! Are you truly so merciless as to shatter my life?" "Can... Can you grant me an opportunity to alter this cruel destiny?!" He cried out, his voice strained, tears streaming down his face, and gradually he closed his weary eyes. [Ding!

The world ended in seven minutes. At exactly 3:17 AM, every graveyard on Earth split open. Cities drowned in ash. The skies turned crimson. And billions heard the same voice echo inside their heads: > [The Cataclysm Trial has begun.] [Survive. Evolve. Conquer.] Among the chaos, Vaeloric Thane dies almost instantly betrayed by the very people he tried to save. But death refuses to claim him. Instead, he awakens beneath a mountain of corpses inside a forgotten underground crypt, where a forbidden class chooses him: > Hidden Class Unlocked — Ashborn Necromancer Current Rank: Funeral Tier Unlike ordinary Necromancers who command mindless undead, Vaeloric can harvest memories, abilities, and fragments of souls from the dead themselves. Every corpse becomes knowledge. Every battlefield becomes his kingdom. As humanity collapses into factions ruled by tyrants, cults, and awakened monsters, Vaeloric marches through the ruins with an army stitched together from fallen hunters, ancient war-beasts, and cursed monarchs pulled from forgotten graves. But the deeper he evolves, the more horrifying the truth becomes. The apocalypse was never an accident. The dead were awakened to prepare Earth for the arrival of the Eclipsed Sovereigns—godlike beings that consume entire civilizations. And hidden within Vaeloric’s system lies the one power capable of commanding even them. Now hunted by both the living and the dead, Vaeloric must decide what he will become: Humanity’s last ruler… Or the final king of the grave.

Cassian Ashborn is twenty years old, penniless, and invisible — a house servant with no family, no future, and no idea what he carries in his blood. Everything changes the night he stumbles into a hidden chamber beneath his lord's estate and touches an inscription that shouldn't exist. The floor glows. A voice speaks. A mark burns itself into his palm. He is the last descendant of the Forgotten God — a divine power so thoroughly erased from history that even his name was destroyed. Thousands of years ago, seven gods conspired to enslave humanity. The Forgotten God refused. They erased him for it. Now Cassian is hunted by the Pale Conclave, the Church's shadow enforcement arm that has spent centuries making sure this bloodline never resurfaces. Behind them, something older and far more dangerous — the Undying Court — wants the power for themselves. To survive, Cassian must unlock seven Divine Seals hidden inside his own bloodline, uncover the truth behind the Divine War, and expose a lie that has held an entire world in place for a thousand years. He starts with nothing. No power, no allies, no training. That changes too. Alongside a disgraced soldier with his own debts to settle and an operative who begins as his enemy and becomes something far more complicated, Cassian moves from fugitive to the one thing the gods who rewrote history were always afraid of. A witness who refuses to look away.

"Step away. She's mine." Eric’s voice was calm but firm, his smirk barely concealed. The man in front of him scoffed. "And what about her?" He pointed at another woman. Eric chuckled, unfazed. "Also mine." The man’s face twisted in disbelief. "And… her too?" Eric nodded casually. "What can I say? A king doesn’t turn away his queens." Frustrated, the other man threw his hands in the air. "How many women do you even need?!" Eric grinned, tilting his head slightly. "As long as beauty exists, they will always belong to me." --- Life had always been cruel. Fired from his job over a ridiculous reason. Dumped by his girlfriend for being broke. Just when he thought things couldn’t get worse, a drunk driver sent him flying. Most would call it the end. For Eric Carter, it was just the beginning. [Ding! Activation requirements met. System initializing…] [Welcome to the Royal Harem System—Dedicated to building the greatest harem in history.] A slow, confident smirk stretched across Eric’s lips as he cracked his knuckles. "From today onward, I, Eric Carter, will be the undisputed Harem King." He straightened his posture, radiating newfound confidence. "Excuse me, miss. You're breathtaking. Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

Tom Burro was born with one eye clouded gray, the mark that cursed his life. His father called it an omen. His stepmother called him a monster. His only friend was Snowly, a mysterious white dog that seemed to understand everything he said. When Tom’s mother died under strange circumstances, he was abandoned and left to rot in a crumbling orphanage. His half-brother, Gabby Miles Burro, inherited everything, wealth, reputation, and the Burro name, and used it to make Tom’s life a private hell. But on the night Gabby nearly beat him to death, something awoke inside the “bad eye.” The world slowed. The air shimmered. And a voice whispered inside his mind: “The Spirit System of the Matriarchal Line has found its heir.” Suddenly, Tom could see opportunities: glowing threads that led to fortune, danger, or salvation. Every decision revealed invisible paths, the Spiritual Economy of reality itself. From scavenging junkyards to hacking fate, Tom begins climbing from the ashes. But with every gain, he feels someone watching him. The system’s power is evolving, and with it, ancient forces long buried are stirring. Gabby’s greed isn’t just human anymore. Something ancient has chosen him too… By the time Tom learns the truth, that his cursed eye isn’t just a gift but a key to a divine inheritance, he’ll already be trapped in a web of bloodlines, betrayal, and fate. And Snowly, his loyal companion, might not be a dog at all

For twenty-four years, Ethan Cole believed the Whitfield family was his family — not by blood, but by everything that should have mattered more. He ran numbers his father couldn't read, raised the sister his parents were too busy to raise, and built himself into the son the Whitfield name could be proud of. Then the real Whitfield son came home. Overnight, the family Ethan spent his life earning turns him into a stranger in his own house. His father hesitates. His mother says nothing. And the sisters who once called him their anchor are torn between the brother they love and the family that raised them to obey. Ethan walks out with nothing but a cracked pocket watch he's never been able to explain — and a memory of a woman's voice that doesn't belong to anyone he's ever known. He doesn't chase revenge. He builds. Piece by piece, deal by deal, he becomes a man the Whitfields can no longer pretend they never lost. But the deeper he digs into his own forgotten past, the more he uncovers a secret buried decades before he was born — one that proves he was never the outsider they made him believe he was. When the truth surfaces, Ethan won't just have to decide whether to forgive the family that threw him away. He'll have to decide what's left to save — and who still deserves saving.
