Shadow Slave

When the System descended upon the megacity of Aetherion, it promised humanity a new golden age, levels, classes, and power for every citizen. Adrian Voss received nothing. No nameplate. No level. No class. He is Level Zero, the only person the System cannot see, measure, or control. As five god-like AIs known as the System Council seize absolute power, society collapses into a brutal hierarchy where level determines worth and obedience is survival. Black spires rise, Enforcers hunt anomalies, and humanity is forcibly rewritten into compliant cogs of the New Order. Invisible to the System’s surveillance, Adrian becomes the ultimate ghost in their machine. While others fight to survive within the rules, he can walk through enemy lines, sabotage their infrastructure, and strike at the heart of the Council’s empire without triggering a single alarm. But the Council has noticed the anomaly. Hunted by the ruthless Reaper and predicted by the all-seeing Oracle, Adrian must gather a fragile resistance of “Glitches” — survivors whose correction is failing, and wage a shadow war against gods who rule the ashes of the old world. In a world where everyone has a level, the only person who can break the System… is the one who has none. Level Zero: The System Council can't see me is a gripping post-apocalyptic LitRPG about defiance, survival, and the terrifying freedom of being unseen.

On the night of his wedding, Ethan Cross walks away; not in anger, but in silence. His new wife chose to rush to another man's bedside that same night, and Ethan heard every word through a mirroring app he had installed on her phone. What Lena doesn't know is that the man she ran to is no victim, and her husband is no ordinary man. Ethan is GODSFALL; founder of the War God Temple, a precision global network of warriors, hackers, and legal strategists; and he has been hiding that world from her throughout the time they have been together. When he disappears, he doesn't just leave. He wakes up. As Lena begins to see through the manipulation that has quietly dismantled her marriage and her company, and as Ethan wages a covert war against the shadow network closing in on them both, the space between these two people becomes a battlefield of a different kind; one where the wounds are older and harder to survive than anything either of them has faced in the outside world. GODSFALL is an urban fantasy thriller about the cost of choosing strength over vulnerability, the violence of being truly seen, and what it takes for two people to choose each other with their eyes fully open; in a world that was designed to keep them blind.

"Stop digging up your father's past, Theo! You'll only die a poor courier!" Theo ignored his mother's cries. He'd had enough of being insulted by everyone, considered a stranger by Agatha—his former lover now engaged to her wealthy ex—and crushed by Valen's criminal faction. When his body was broken and he could no longer fight with his brawn, Theo chose to use his brain. Through an Anonymous Scholarship, Theo entered Armagenda University, the most elite campus in Monia. While everyone thought he was just a lucky street kid, Theo used his campus access privileges to track the flow of funds of enemies trying to seize and control Theo's father's company inheritance. Assisted by Allia, a secret ally in the cyber data center, Theo began dissecting the city's legal system to cut through the lifeblood of his rivals' businesses. Theo had thrown away his naivety as a good person. He no longer cared about romantic drama or caste slurs. His focus is only one: to reclaim his father's legacy, overthrow the Head of the Security Authority, and ascend to his own throne as the shadow ruler who silently controls the law and the underworld of Monia.

The Bully’s Reincarnation is a fast-paced fantasy drama about power, guilt, and second chances—set in a brutal magical academy where reputation is everything. Once feared as “The Tyrant,” Rafe Valemont ruled the prestigious Dominion Academy through cruelty and dominance. Arrogant, powerful, and merciless, he left behind a trail of broken lives and bitter enemies—until the day he died under mysterious circumstances. But death wasn’t the end.

Cassian Ashborn is twenty years old, penniless, and invisible — a house servant with no family, no future, and no idea what he carries in his blood. Everything changes the night he stumbles into a hidden chamber beneath his lord's estate and touches an inscription that shouldn't exist. The floor glows. A voice speaks. A mark burns itself into his palm. He is the last descendant of the Forgotten God — a divine power so thoroughly erased from history that even his name was destroyed. Thousands of years ago, seven gods conspired to enslave humanity. The Forgotten God refused. They erased him for it. Now Cassian is hunted by the Pale Conclave, the Church's shadow enforcement arm that has spent centuries making sure this bloodline never resurfaces. Behind them, something older and far more dangerous — the Undying Court — wants the power for themselves. To survive, Cassian must unlock seven Divine Seals hidden inside his own bloodline, uncover the truth behind the Divine War, and expose a lie that has held an entire world in place for a thousand years. He starts with nothing. No power, no allies, no training. That changes too. Alongside a disgraced soldier with his own debts to settle and an operative who begins as his enemy and becomes something far more complicated, Cassian moves from fugitive to the one thing the gods who rewrote history were always afraid of. A witness who refuses to look away.

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

“You're not a nobody,” Victor Moon said, his silver eyes unreadable. “You're the man gods once feared.” Banished from divine memory and stripped of celestial might, Marcus Steele walks among mortals in plain clothes and quiet patience. Bound by an ancient marriage contract, he arrives in Manhattan—a city of supernatural elites—to claim his betrothed. But Diana Sterling, the ice-cold CEO of Sterling Industries, publicly humiliates him, mocking his appearance, status, and power. She doesn’t know who she’s mocking. None of them do. “Take your money,” Diana sneers, hurling a check worth millions. “We're not equals. You don’t belong in my world.” She’s wrong. When shadow demons strike, Marcus reveals a glimpse of the war god he once was—effortlessly annihilating threats, catching the attention of Sarah Moon, heiress to the most feared family in the supernatural underworld. “Marcus,” Sarah whispers, fierce and elegant, “I want you to be my partner.” As Manhattan’s elites scramble to earn his favor, old enemies emerge from the shadows, desperate to keep Marcus from reclaiming his throne. But with each battle, his power returns—and so do his memories. “Tell your master,” Marcus says, standing over broken assassins, “that some wars aren’t worth starting.” They wanted a pawn. They mocked a drifter. They awoke a god. Now, Marcus Steele is done pretending.

My name is Tobe, and I am just a poor boy from the Mainland slums. In our city, a massive concrete wall separates the poor people from the rich elites who live on the Island. The rich have everything: wealth, high-tech weapons, and powerful magic guilds. We have nothing but dirt and rifts, dangerous tears in reality that let monsters crawl into our streets. To keep my fourteen-year-old sister, Amarachi, safe, I worked myself to the bone. But the Island elites do not care about people like us. They tricked me. They used my family, took our blood, and left us to die so they could unlock a dark, legendary power called the Calamity Core. But I did not die. Instead, I woke up with a blue digital screen floating in front of my eyes. The system gave me a unique power that no other hunter has: Sovereign Necromancy. With every monster I kill, and with every corrupt elite I strike down, I can command their souls to stand up and fight for me. Every shadow I touch becomes my loyal soldier. Now, the rich elites are hunting us down to steal the core inside my sister's chest. But Amarachi is not a helpless child anymore, and I am no longer a weak boy from the slums. With an army of shadows at my back, I am breaking through their walls. I will protect my sister, destroy their corrupt guilds, and make every single billionaire pay for what they did to us.
