In Sanctum, luck isn't random; it’s engineered. The elite pay for probability enhancers, while the poor rot in the "Zero District," slaves to statistical irrelevance. Joseph Vance is a "Null." A data-analyst who crunches numbers for the underworld but refuses to gamble. He believes in cold, hard math, not the rigged games of the House. But when his sister, Elara, is seized by the "Debt Collectors" for "organ collateral" on their father's unpaid loans, Joseph is forced into the glitzy, neon-soaked arenas he despises. Out of options, he challenges a Sector Boss to a game of high-stakes probability. He loses. Badly. Beaten and thrown into the city's disposal chutes, Joseph lands in a graveyard of discarded tech. Broken and dying, his blood mixes with a prototype military chip rumored to be a myth: The Chaos Engine. [System Booting... Neural Interface Linked.] [Protocol: Entropy Exchange Active.] Joseph doesn’t get magic. He gets a processor capable of hacking the probability of the physical world—but the fuel source is his own biological decay. He can force a lock to open, a bullet to miss, or a card to turn, but every manipulation accelerates his cellular aging. To save his sister, Joseph must bankrupt the House. But in a game where he trades his youth for luck, the question isn’t if he’ll win—it’s if he’ll die of old age before he can cash out.

The dying star pulsed, it’s heart on the verge of collapse. Twelve figures, cloaked in unimaginable power, stood amidst its final throes. On one side, six beings (the angels) blazed with light so intense, it dwarfed the star's dying brilliance. Across from them, five figures (the demons)exuded a chilling darkness, a black hole's silent hunger, their very presence accelerating the star's demise. And in the center of this cosmic ballet of light and shadow, stood Reaper. He seemed to absorb the dying star's essence, his form cloaked in a darkness deeper than any of the others, a living embodiment of the star's final, terrible scream.

EARTH ONLINE The black towers hung silent over every city for six months. Then, one November morning, a child's bright voice rang out in every head at once — Earth has gone online — and gave the world three days to eliminate a stranger, or be erased. Half the planet didn't make it. Cole Mercer is a librarian. Quiet, exact, ruthlessly calm — the kind of man who reads the room while everyone else is screaming. When the games begin he finds he's been handed no fire, no lightning, no gift worth the name: only a snide little book that collects the powers of the people he kills, and a mind that has never once lost a game that had rules. The Spire has a great many games. Every one is a trap dressed as a fairy tale, and every one can be solved — if you're cold enough, and fast enough, and willing to do the math while the monster is still smiling. But there's a voice on the other end of a cracked artifact, two hundred miles away: the strongest player on the server, a man Cole has never seen, who already seems to know exactly how he thinks. The tower wants them to climb. It should never have let them meet first. A slow-burn M/M apocalypse where the deadliest thing in any room is two minds that refuse to lose — and the one mistake the end of the world ever made was growing them a partner.

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

On the night of Kael Draven’s birth, the skies split in two. The moon turned blood-red, the Veil of Aegis—the sacred barrier protecting the kingdom of Eryndor—shattered, and demons poured into the realm, slaughtering thousands. His mother died in childbirth, and the High Hierophant Malrick, leader of the Sanctum of Luminar, declared the newborn child the source of the calamity. From that moment, Kael was branded the “cursed child,” a walking omen of doom. His noble family disowned him, his name erased from their records, while his younger brother Aelric was exalted as the chosen heir. Kael grew up in chains, spat upon by peasants and nobles alike, humiliated in public festivals, and treated as less than a dog. His only friend was Fang, a scarred stray dog who shared his pain. Yet fate had other plans. During the grand trial, where Kael was condemned to die by being devoured by a monstrous beast in the royal arena, the curse mark on his body ignited. A fading celestial spirit, Elyndra, bonded with him, and his soul unlocked the Eclipse Codex, a divine system hidden within the mark. What the world called a curse revealed itself as a path to power. Despised by all, betrayed by blood, and hunted by the temple, Kael will rise from scorned trash to savior of Eryndor. The curse they fear is the only hope of salvation against Umbraxis, the Eternal Hunger—the primordial evil sealed at Kael’s birth, now stirring once again.
