The Eminence In Shadow

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.

I was a disgrace to the Prestwick family—a poor, unwanted son-in-law they wished their daughter had never married. She had chosen me for my looks, but now, even that wasn’t enough. She wanted out. A divorce. To erase me from her life and marry into wealth like her family had always intended. But I loved her. Despite the insults, the humiliation, the way they treated me like dirt beneath their feet—I refused to let go. That was my biggest mistake. Frustrated by my defiance, my brother-in-law took matters into his own hands. He killed me, tossing my body into a cold, dark river, leaving me to sink into oblivion. I should have died. I did die. But before I took my final breath, a man appeared before me, cloaked in shadow, his voice like a whisper from the abyss. "What is your last wish?" I should have begged for revenge. I should have cursed their names. But all I wanted was one more chance. One more chance to live. And so, I was granted life again. But I was no longer the same. My soul was no longer my own. My body was no longer mine to control. Because I had been reborn as something far more powerful. I was no longer John Prestwick. I was the Devil himself.

Three years ago, Lucas Vance was betrayed by his treacherous fiancée, framed for treason by the city's ruling elite, and thrown into the Black Iron Fortress to die. They thought they had destroyed him. They were dead wrong. The fortress was no ordinary prison—it was the secret training ground of the Shadow Syndicate, the global underground empire that controls world finance, black markets, and private armies. Three years later, Lucas emerges not as a helpless convict, but as the Sovereign Lord with absolute power over the world’s shadows. To crush his enemies without giving away his true reach, Lucas takes on the ultimate cover: a low-level personal bodyguard for Evelyn Sterling, the ice-queen CEO of Sterling Enterprises. His former betrayers laugh at his fall from grace, completely unaware that the "cheap security guard" standing behind Evelyn is the master pulling the strings of their financial doom. As corporate predators and underworld assassins close in, Lucas unleashes swift, terrifying retribution. When his enemies finally realize who he is, they fall to their knees, begging for the mercy they never showed him. But Lucas's gaze is ice-cold. Mercy? That is for the weak. They signed their death warrants the day they betrayed him. “Kneel in the rain for three days and nights,” Lucas commanded, his aura suffocating the room, “and maybe—just maybe—I won’t erase your entire lineage from this city.”

Betrayed by his own disciple and killed by the combined might of eight Saintly Emperors. Wouldn't you call that an epic end for a Demon Emperor? Unfortunately, fate has a twisted sense of humor. Xiao Chen awakens in the lowest mortal dimension, trapped in the body of a dying, low-born servant. Even worse? A Heart Demon Curse binds his soul: He'll suffocate and die if he dares to abandon his weak young mistress and her family on the verge of annihilation. The Demon Emperor is forced to become a loyal guard dog. "Excellent," Xiao Chen laughs, wiping blood from his face. "If I must protect this worthless family, then I will forge them into this world's greatest nightmare." Relying on deceit, manipulation, and absolute cruelty, Xiao Chen begins to recruit the monstrous anomalies of the mortal world as his subordinates. From behind the shadow of a servant's uniform, he tears through imperial schemes, butchers arrogant nobles, and turns the struggle for the throne into a sea of blood. This is not a hero's story. This is the survival guide of a Demon Emperor, forced to level the world just to help his little master get some sleep. Prepare yourself. Because in this world, there are only two choices: kneel before Xiao Chen, or die beneath his feet.

“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.

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

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. Kai wakes up in Rafe’s body with no memory of his past life. Burdened with the tyrant’s reputation but none of his sins, Kai is immediately met with hatred, fear, and vengeance. Students plot against him. Teachers distrust him. And shadowy factions that once served or opposed Rafe close in, believing he’s faking amnesia.

Torn between who he is and who he was, Kai must walk a razor-thin line: prove he’s changed, or become what everyone already believes him to be. Amidst the chaos, a quiet girl named Lina sees through the monster’s mask. Her loyalty may be the key to saving him—or breaking him completely. With betrayal lurking in every shadow and the academy itself built on deadly secrets, Kai must decide whether to forge a new path… or finish what Rafe started.

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.
