Novoland The Castle In The Sky

The mark on Ji-sung's palm never worked. For years, he was classified F-rank the lowest of the low in a world where Eclipse Gates tear open the sky and monsters pour through. Other Hunters fought. Ji-sung watched. Then he walked into a Dark Eclipse alone. And survived. When he woke up, the mark had changed. Not a system. Not a cheat. Something older a contract with an entity that calls itself the Contractor, offering one ability the Bureau has never recorded in any living Hunter: Absorption. Every enemy he defeats, he consumes. Every power he takes becomes his own. And unlike every other Hunter in history, his rank has no ceiling. But the Gates are not random. The monsters are not mindless. Something on the other side has been watching humanity for twelve thousand years building toward a single moment when the boundary between worlds finally breaks. Ji-sung is not the chosen one. He is the one who chose. ECLIPSE GATE is a progression fantasy about power built from the ground up, a team forged under impossible pressure, and the truth buried beneath a war that was never supposed to be a war at all.

I hated being locked up like a damsel in distress. Like I was some princess that needed constant protection, but deep down I was grateful. I was still struggling to summon my powers, so if I was attacked alone I would be defenseless. I understood why Valerian wanted me to stay confined within the walls of our home since there was a protection spell suffocating the entire atmosphere that surrounded it. But I was so bored. Valerian was not there to take me out and keep me occupied with his cocky smiles and quirky comments. The only thing I could think to do to pass the time was to take a stroll around the castle grounds. I exited out into the courtyard and walked past the beautiful wooden benches and vibrant trees. Roses of every colour confiscated the grounds and it was like I was walking through a rainbow. My fingertips caressed the petals and I inhaled the sweet scent of their exquisiteness as I walked through the trails. I was so mesmerized by the area that I didn’t realize where I was going. I gasped as I reached for the next rose in my path, and it crumbled from my touch. The rest of the walkway was filled with black and decayed roses that tumbled to the ground like ash from a horrible wildfire. My frightened eyes glared out into the distance as I realized the dead flowers led to a shadowy tunnel made from black brick. A sign barely dangling from a broken chain at the top of the entrance read ‘dungeon.’ My body cringed at the sight. This was the dark side of Valerian that I knew and wanted to avoid as much as possible.

The rain had been falling on Moonveil City since dawn, running in silver threads down the tiled roofs, spilling from gutters into the crooked alleys. The sky was low and iron-grey, heavy enough to press against the tower-tops of the Martial Regulation Bureau. Inside the courtyard of the Moonveil District Arms Hall, Kael Ruan stood in silence, a new-issued badge in his hand. He was twenty-four, too young, too brash, they’d said, yet here he was, sworn as the youngest Arms Keeper in the city’s history. His mentor, Master Renji, watched from the covered steps, eyes narrowed as if weighing more than just the rain. [Silent Oath System Activated] Oath Energy: 0/100 Core Blade Slots: Shadowsteel (Locked), Frostvein (Locked), Dawnpiercer (Locked) Techniques: Oath Cut (Locked), Sword Recall (Locked) The voice cold, ringing inside his skull had woken with his oath to defend the district. It spoke without warmth, without mercy. It offered strength in exchange for vows sworn before witnesses. But the warning was clear: break an oath, and the System would take more than power from him.

Twelve months ago, the world fractured. Rifts opened in the sky and spewed monsters into the streets. The old governments collapsed within weeks as the world burned. Soon, certain people awakened to magical abilities. The awakened took control of the ruins. They conquered the rifts and claimed the beast cores to level up their own power. Kai was a lowly porter, hired to carry loot for elite hunters inside deadly rifts. When his team encountered a powerful boss monster, they didn’t fight, they sacrificed him. Betrayed and thrown to his death, Kai was meant to be nothing more than another forgotten casualty of a broken world. But instead of dying, he awakens at the heart of the very rift that killed him. Reborn as its master. Now, the monsters obey his will. The dungeon bends to his command. Every hunter who enters becomes prey and every death fuels his growing power. The same elites who once looked down on him are returning, greedy for easy rewards. They still think this is just another dungeon. They have no idea what’s waiting for them. Because this time, Kai isn’t the one being hunted. He’s the one setting the traps. And when the doors close, no one is getting out alive

When the sky over London cracks open and the moon begins to bleed light, four friends find themselves trapped in a city that’s no longer human. The world has been reclassified — not as Earth, but as a Dungeon Territory, and every living thing inside it has been registered for survival or extinction. Riley, a quiet historian with a talent for seeing patterns, becomes the first Lunamancer, his power waxing and waning with the moon. Miko, sharp-tongued and fearless, manifests the instincts of a Swordswoman whose blade remembers every kill. Amber, calm and analytical, turns healer and protector through the conviction of a Paladin. And Arianna, whose empathy once made her fragile, bonds with her mutated dog and becomes a Beast Master — her strength now tied to the creatures she commands. Together they navigate a city collapsing into nightmare: streets carpeted with dead birds, rivers running red, and monsters evolving faster than reason. Every fight earns experience. Every kill rewrites the rules. Every sunrise weakens Riley’s power — and every moonrise brings something new from the fracture above. But survival isn’t enough. The System is watching, counting, and adapting. And somewhere beyond the broken skyline, the first dungeon floor is waiting.

When the game becomes reality, can a champion survive? Marco Rossi was the War God—undefeated champion of Sky Game. Then the screen went black, and he woke up bleeding in a forest, trapped in the body of Derek, a despised half-orc left for dead. "You're trash, half-breed! Your kind shouldn't exist!" In a world where warriors are mocked as worthless cannon fodder, Marco makes an impossible choice: embrace the weakest class. When divine light marks him as the first warrior in a millennium to receive the War God's true blessing, everything changes. "Impossible," the knight captain whispers, watching his unbreakable armor shatter. "Nothing at Level 1 can—" But Marco knows something they don't. He remembers the real warrior techniques—the devastating combos, the forgotten skills that once made warriors supreme. "Warriors aren't weak," Marco says quietly, his training sword at the knight's throat. "They never were. You've just been fighting broken shadows of what we're supposed to be." Now he must prove the impossible: that the most mocked profession can become the most feared. The War God has returned. And he's only Level 1.

On the day the world split apart and the sky burned red, something new filled the air, an energy no one could name, but everyone could feel. It remade humanity overnight. Some people woke up able to shatter stone with their bare hands. Others could summon fire, call down storms, even twist space itself. And then there was Daniel. A mind-user. The weakest class there was. With no flashy powers or lethal attacks. Just an unfailing memory, faster reasoning, and a knack for seeing patterns others ignored. That is, until the mission that should have killed him. Buried in the ruins, he found relics from the old earth, and an idea that refused to leave. If people could draw power from the strange energy in the air… maybe they could connect to it in a deeper way. So he tried. What started as a fragile creation, a “system” that could barely identify objects began to learn. It grew like a child finding its voice. And one day, it woke up. Then it spread. Suddenly, the world began to change. Levels. Quests. Rewards. Power. The rules of reality itself started to look like a game. And everyone wanted to know the secret behind it. But when the game takes on a life of its own… will Daniel still be the one in control?

“You despicable little rascal, you stink just like your smelling poor mother, a whore who thought that she had a chance of rewriting her story just because she slept and got pregnant for my beloved husband, hahaha!” Madam Tracey spoke as she gazed at Romeo with a devilish smirk.
