Lord Shadow

In Eternal Throne, players are gods who kill and humiliate NPCs for fun. Jax Thorn is just a lowly janitor NPC, endlessly murdered, his wife claimed, treated like worthless code. Until a server merge glitch lets him hijack the Player System itself. Now he can steal levels, skills, and power from the so-called gods. From disposable trash to the Glitch Overlord, Jax will make every player who tormented him kneel. But the Game Entities have noticed the anomaly… and they delete threats permanently. One broken NPC just started a war against millions of gods. And he’s only getting started.

"I was born a God, but my father turned me into a Demon." In the Divine Spear Empire, power is everything, and Lucius Thorne was the pinnacle—until the Blood Moon Eclipse. On his eighteenth birthday, the day of his Ascension, Lucius is betrayed. His father, the Emperor, executes a forbidden "Grafting Rite," ripping Lucius’s Divine Core from his chest to empower his younger, more "malleable" brother, Julian. Left for dead in the Abyssal Rift—a place where even light dies—Lucius discovers that his core wasn't just a source of power; it was a seal. Without it, the Void Eater within him awakens. Rescued by Valeriana, a fallen War-Maiden from a forgotten era, Lucius begins a cold, calculated climb back to the surface. He doesn't just want his core back; he wants to witness the empire burn. Core Trope: Rejected Prodigy / Revenge / Hidden Overlord The Twist: The "stolen power" was actually keeping a world-ending curse in check; by stealing it, the villains have doomed themselves, and only the "powerless" Lucius can survive the coming darkness.

The blade is sharp, the code is deep, and the price of survival is his very soul.

In his last life, the temperature plummeted to minus two hundred degrees Celsius, unleashing a merciless snowpocalypse. Civilization collapsed in a single night. Food became more precious than gold. A single spark of warmth was worth more than a human life. Zane had prepared with everything he had — scavenging ruins, fortifying a shelter, and hoarding supplies to outlast the endless winter. Yet in the end, he died like a fool. The woman he worshipped as a goddess, his own fiancée, betrayed him. The family that took him in only to steal his inheritance turned on him at the first sign of weakness. Even the neighbors he once helped without hesitation joined the frenzy, stripping him of everything and leaving him to freeze alone in the dark. As numbness claimed his body, regret burned hotter than any fire. If only he had listened to that soft, persistent warning voice. If only he had shown kindness to the one person who truly cared. If only he had severed ties with those parasites the moment he learned the truth… Perhaps moved by his dying fury, Hades granted him a second chance. Now, Zane is back — twenty days before the ice age begins. This time, he won’t be kind. He won’t be naive. He will hoard every resource, fortify his shelter into an unbreakable fortress, and turn survival into his empire. He will become the one the cold cannot kill. And when the world freezes again… He will watch his betrayers kneel and beg in the snow. PS: Grab your coat… the ice age is closer than you think. NB: This novel has multiple arcs, free chapters, dark fantasy and contains heavy sci-fi in the first arc. It's my first book on this genre, I hope you love it.
