Alternate Universe

I was born the third son of the empire's most powerful bloodline, destined to be nothing. No magic, no talent. Just a weakling, a stain on my family's name. My older brothers awakened powers that could shape kingdoms, while I was mocked, ignored, and treated as disposable, and in my family, weakness isn't forgiven. In my awakening ceremony, I nearly died, but the magic system changed my life forever! 'Forbidden System Detected. Condition Met: Host on Brink of Death. Initializing Evolution Protocol…' A power long sealed within the royal bloodline chose me, the powerless one. A system that feeds on my pain, breaks the limits of my body and soul, and evolves me beyond what this world allows. No magic? It will create one. No talent? It will forge one. No future? It will build one. I will become the one whom they have never seen coming!

A map that can erase nations. A man who can rewrite existence with a pen. And a world teetering on the edge of oblivion. Sael Corin, a discredited mapmaker, holds a power no one should wield, the Null Atlas. Every stroke of his hand redraws reality, erasing cities, bloodlines, and memories. Nations hunt him. Rebels need him. And the atlas is beginning to write itself. In a high-fantasy world where ink is stronger than swords, Sael must navigate moral peril, political intrigue, and a sentient map that refuses to obey. Every chapter could change the world forever… and the question is, will he survive what he creates?

"Who am I?" Waking up in an unfamiliar room with no past memories, an unfamiliar man greets him, claiming to be his new guardian, Ifeus Lero, who then tells him... "Your name is...Topaz Oriole." A world of Magic and Monsters, where those who wield Magic are known as Mages. Every Mage, without exception, falls under one of eleven Classes, each with their own unique forms of Magic; Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Light, Dark, Space, Physical, Support, Tamer and Sneak. As for Topaz, his amnesia isn't his only concern. His Class isn't one of the eleven established Classes, something that's completely unheard of. The Wrath Class, a mysterious Class absent in the history books. Advised to keep his abilities hidden for the time being, Topaz avoids using his Magic in front of others. However, Ifeus's secrecy soon becomes a growing point of frustration for Topaz...it's clear that Ifeus knows about his past, but refuses to tell him anything about it, along with hiding the real reason why it's imperative for Topaz to keep his Class hidden. Even as Topaz settles into his life post-amnesia, forming friendships, rivalries and romance, the dark shadow cast by the mysteries of his forgotten past continue to haunt him. With flashes of fragmented memories, and some common sense, Topaz comes to the conclusion that, whatever he went through pre-amnesia, was likely far from pleasant. And unfortunately for him, the dark, broken past he has no memory of isn't the only issue to contend with. An organization bent on world domination makes its presence known, and operating in the shadows, is a dangerous cult determined to resurrect a powerful, malicious entity who nearly destroyed the world centuries ago and was sealed away. And at the center of it all...is the Fractured Mage, Topaz Oriole.

At the dawn of creation, two supreme forces were born—Nature and Chaos. One nurtured life. The other sought to destroy it. To shatter creation, Chaos raised a ruthless prodigy to wage war against the universe. But fate chose its own champion: Tristan, an orphan dragon granted the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline and the Eternal Dragon God Manual. He rose to become the First Guardian—only to sacrifice himself in a battle that shattered realms. Chaos survived. Reincarnated as Bradley Wright Lane, a mortal teenager with sealed memories, Tristan must rise once more—ascending through realms of power to face the ancient enemy reborn. This time, the war will not end in sacrifice. This time, Chaos must die.

The world isn’t what it seems. A young man who survives the end of his species embarks on a journey to uncover the truth of the world. What will he encounter on his journey? Will it lead to a happy ending or eternal damnation?

“They should cut your hands off before the next ceremony. Why let trash touch the Awakening Stone?” Dante Moretti is the disgrace of Saint Lucian Academy. In a world where power decides status, wealth, and survival, Dante is worse than weak—he is nothing. The Awakening Stone doesn’t glow for him. The examiners laugh behind his back. Students spit insults every time he walks through the halls. “Even stray dogs have instincts,” Renzo Cavalli sneers. “But you? You were born useless.” Every day, Dante endures the humiliation in silence. Being shoved into lockers. Having food dumped over his head. Listening as students compare him to worms beneath their shoes. Because if he quits the academy, his little sister Lucia loses her chance at a future. Then the sky splits open. Monsters descend upon the city, slaughtering everything in sight. Lucia fights to protect innocent people, but a D-rank Blightbearer tears through her defenses and lunges for her heart. Without thinking, Dante steps in front of her. The claw punches through his chest. Blood spills across the road. And the world changes. His blood rises into the air. A forbidden voice echoes inside his skull— [Mother System activated.] When Dante opens his eyes again, they burn gold. The monsters freeze. The air trembles. And the boy everyone called worthless smiles for the first time in years. “You spent your whole lives looking down on me,” he whispers. “Now learn what it feels like to kneel.” Three D-rank monsters disappear from existence in a storm of crimson light. Now the same academy that mocked him fears him. The same elites who treated him like dirt suddenly want his loyalty. But Dante hasn’t forgotten the laughter. And this time… the weakest boy in the world is no longer asking for acceptance.

In a world where humanity teeters on the edge of extinction, survival is no longer guaranteed—it is earned. Jake never asked to be reborn. Thrust into a vast, war-torn world where alien races, demonic beasts, and dungeon-born horrors dominate most of the land, he quickly learns one brutal truth: power is everything. Those who awaken rise above the rest as elite mech pilots and super soldiers. Those who don’t are left behind… or forgotten. Born into the lowest-ranked Region F—a place mocked as the “Region of Bad Luck”—Jake stands at the very bottom of a merciless hierarchy. Orphaned by a Kaiju attack and surviving on borrowed time, his future hangs on a single moment: the Awakening. With no talent, no backing, and no guarantee of survival, Jake must defy the odds in a system rigged against him..

In the broken continent of Averis, glory is currency—and humiliation is a death sentence. Max Partey was born in chains. Beaten in the alleys of Freeport, sold between masters, and forgotten by the world, he is nothing more than another slave waiting to die. Until the night the System awakens within him. It offers power. Not for heroism. Not for mercy. But for revenge. Every injustice he endures fuels his strength. Every humiliation becomes Glory Points, and the chains that once bound him become his deadliest weapon. As Max rises from the slums to the grand arenas of Auravale and the war-torn kingdoms beyond, he gathers unlikely allies—an exiled strategist, a silver-tongued diplomat, and a warrior who fights like a storm in chains. But power always attracts monsters. A ruthless noble named Veylan Corvaris is climbing toward godhood, feeding on the same System that fuels Max. Kingdoms crumble, Rift Beasts pour into the world, and the truth behind the System threatens to shatter everything. Because the voice guiding Max…might not be a god. It might be himself. And to save the world, the man who rose through glory may have to destroy the very power that made him unstoppable.

He woke up in a city that doesn’t forget—but he remembers nothing.

But the truth may be the deadliest weapon in a world built on deception. In the game of Lazarus, the first one to remember dies.
