“And who do we have walking into class late like he owns the school?” Jake Sullivan, the son of the world’s richest man, said out loud taking the attention of the students in the class and putting it all on Joe Cole. “Of course Jake, he owns the school. All hail Joe Cole, King of the Poor and Master of All Miserables, the Great Pauper and Beggar!” Another student shouted, banging his desk to make a mockery of Joe Cole. The entire class burst into laughter, mocking him to the highest level. “Hey Cole, quick question. When will you ever be rich like the least of us?” Joe Cole’s humiliations at King & Queens University only grew higher and so by the day. However, at the height of his frustrations, Joe Cole made just one phone call, and the President of the United States appeared at Kings & Queens University with his motorcade. Finally, Joe Cole had become crazily rich and everyone called him, “THE NEW MONEY KING!”

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

In the eyes of the powerful Lockhart family, Kael Virex is nothing but a disgrace—a silent, unaccomplished man who married into wealth he could never match. His wife, Seraphina Lochart, sees him as a mistake she is forced to tolerate, treating him with cold distance and quiet contempt. To her, he is insignificant. To the world, he is a myth. Hidden beneath his unremarkable life lies a secret no one could imagine. Once declared dead on a classified battlefield, Kael returned with a divine anomaly—a radiant hand capable of healing any wound and even calling the dead back to life. Now known only in whispers as the “God Hand,” he moves in the shadows, sought after by the most powerful figures in society. Leaders, tycoons, and kings bow their heads for a chance at his touch… yet the same man returns home each night to be ignored by the woman who bears his name. Seraphina does not know that the man she looks down on is the miracle the world is desperate to find. But when a crisis strikes the Lochart family—one beyond wealth, influence, or power—they are left with only one option: seek out the elusive God Hand. And unknowingly, she turns to the very man she has spent her life belittling. As secrets begin to unravel and identities draw closer to the surface, Kael must decide— Will he remain the invisible man in her life… or step forward and become the force that reshapes her world?
