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

Five years ago, Jian “The Ghost” Mercer was the sacrificial lamb of the prestigious but corrupt Mercer family. To save his foster brother from a hit-and-run sentence, he was coerced into a high-security tomb known as “The Abyss.” There, instead of breaking, he met the Calamity Physician, a legendary prisoner who taught him the Divine Pulse—a medical art that can snatch lives from the gates of hell—and the Asura Strike, a martial style that turns the human body into a lethal weapon. Now, the gates have opened. Jian returns to a city that thinks he’s a broken convict. He finds his foster family living in luxury off his biological parents' stolen estate, while his wife, the only person who stayed true, is being auctioned off to settle a debt he didn't create. The king has returned, not for a crown, but for a reckoning.

A map that can erase nations. A man who can rewrite existence with a pen. And a world teetering on the edge of oblivion.

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?

When Damien William woke up in that hospital eight years ago with no memories, a kind woman named Sophia helped him recover. Grateful and lost, he married into her family, the Vaughns, and became their live-in son-in-law. For seven years, they treated him like garbage, a brain-damaged charity case who should be grateful for the scraps from their table. One month ago, Damien's memories returned in full. He remembered that he's the true heir to the William Empire, a trillion-dollar dynasty that controls half the world's economy. He also remembered that the accident that caused his memory loss wasn't an accident, but a perfectly staged incident orchestrated by his cousin, Raymond, and Sophia's uncle was the inside man who helped them. But Damien didn't reveal himself immediately. He continued playing the humiliated son-in-law, while planning his revenge on everyone who had wronged him.
