Marked

Samuel Gray is no one special. Just another forgotten soul in the lower levels of Novus City a place where dreams are traded for survival and even hope comes with a price. Each day blurs into the next as he delivers packages to people who don’t see him, eats food that barely tastes like anything, and falls asleep wondering if this is all life has to offer. But everything changes the night he tries to help a stranger and bleeds out in an alley. On the edge of death, a voice echoes in the darkness. > “Vitality Critical. Initializing Ascension Protocol. Do you accept?” In that moment, Samuel awakens something unimaginable: a system interface that turns the laws of life into a game complete with stats, quests, abilities, and something far more dangerous purpose. Now marked by a power that shouldn’t exist, Samuel must navigate a world where reality bends, imagination has weight, and forgotten dreams can become weapons. But the Ascension System didn’t choose him at random. There’s a reason he was chosen. There’s a cost to rising. And someone or something is watching.

In a magical world where heroes wield legendary swords and devastating spells, one boy awakens his destiny… with a half-burnt stick he dug out of a compost heap. Bullied, underestimated, and often mistaken for actual trash, Quincy Dungsworth never spoke a word—until a mysterious accident unlocks a bizarre power inside him. The source? A strange wooden staff marked with an ancient sun sigil, capable of channeling magic in ways no one understands (including him). Now, armed with questionable martial skills, unpredictable magic, and a face that screams “I’m not supposed to be here,” Quincy must rise from zero to hero—facing monsters, rival cultivators, and the occasional murderous chicken—while trying not to set himself on fire.

Description: The world almost ended—seven times. But thanks to the bureaucratic nightmare that is The Misfortune Bureau, global catastrophes get lost in paperwork, disaster forms, and office politics before they can wreak havoc. Meet Fredrick “Freddie” Jacobs, a painfully average, underpaid office clerk recently transferred to the Bureau. His job? Processing supernatural incident reports, misfiled curses, and "pending end-of-the-world" memos. But when a doomsday prophecy accidentally lands on his desk marked URGENT: LOST ITEM, Freddie and his misfit coworkers have 48 hours to prevent the apocalypse… while still following strict government procedure. Between sarcastic demons, malfunctioning photocopiers, time-traveling auditors, and office romances gone wrong, saving the world has never been more ridiculous.
