Fear Awakening

Henry Dreherg is a young boy who leaves his mother’s house to pursue what every young boy dreams of, an adventure. Together with the friends he gains throughout his path, he faces strong enemies and wild adventures to ultimately make a name for himself in this gigantic and dangerous world.

Life and death—nature’s laws. It is the reality we live in, the inevitable end we all face. And amidst it all, everything else feels pale in comparison. Awakening was simultaneously the best and worst thing that ever happened to me. For most, it is either a blessing or a curse—but for me, it is both. The year is 2124. You’d think this would be the pinnacle of human development, but in truth, the only real difference is the introduction of Meta Energy—an innovation designed to counteract the destruction brought by global warming. In a world of celebrity superheroes, monstrous biohazards, apocalyptic calamities, and ever-evolving Meta-humans, growing stronger isn’t a choice—it’s a necessity. And with the system-like interface I mysteriously became linked to one day, I now have the means to do just that. Yet, something feels off. As if there’s more to this than what’s on the surface. Why do I keep feeling like things aren’t that simple? Why do I still feel like I’m missing something…?

She woke up after six years in a coma—to a world that had buried her, a husband who tried to erase her, and a billionaire who would burn it all down just to keep her

**Awakening Eclipse** Summoned to another world against their will, four friends find themselves trapped in a land ruled by prophecy and war. Promised great power, they are tasked with defeating Noctis—the feared Demon of the Night—whose mere existence strengthens the monsters that plague the kingdom. But as J uncovers the truth behind their summoning, he realizes that the lines between hero and villain are not so clear. Noctis is not just a demon—he is a man bound by chains, burdened by a past no one understands. And as J’s own power awakens, a terrifying revelation unfolds... Is he here to save this world—or to destroy it? Betrayal, sacrifice, and destiny collide in a battle where light and darkness are nothing but illusions. In the end, will J break his chains, or will he become the very thing he was summoned to defeat?

Having spent her childhood confined in chains, Alice was a child who knew neither love nor joy. Scorned by her family while being tortured in the name of the greater good for years, she grew numb to all feeling and thought. That is, until one day, a man in black offered her a chance to escape. There were once rumours widespread of an endless hell, a land of glorious death and dreadful opportunity. Fools went in search of it, and the clever never ventured into it. Only when its baleful mysteries spilled unto the earth did all hear its name — the Abyss. A single drop of its blood could give someone the power to control shadows, move faster than sound, or strength greater than the strongest man. Yet, it all came at a cost; the blood would always make sure those who consumed it became part of the Abyss, with one exception — Alice. Cast away by her own blood, it was her destiny to rot in a gilded cage. But, that fateful day changed everything. Gifted a second chance at life, a chance to turn her life around and claim vengeance against her family, a chance to dive deep into the Abyss and gain the power to govern her own fate, Alice took his hand, unaware of the destiny unfolding before her.

This book will be focusing on plot, action, depths of character bonds and overall a darker tone/take on this cruel fantasy world I've cooked up for this book! If you give this book a try, I hope you enjoy! A very different experience and tone to Nanomancer Reborn.

When five friends embark on a seemingly ordinary camping trip deep in the secluded woods of Buckingham, London, they expect nothing more than a weekend of adventure and friendly competition. To pass the time, they create a tournament filled with various camp activities. But as the competition heats up, their adventure takes a mystical turn when one of them stumbles upon a mysterious creature—a bird siren with feathers as radiant as the dawn. Their discovery leads them to the hidden City of Dragonia, a realm where magic flows like water and ancient secrets lie beneath every stone.

Felix, a master of illusion magic, teaches them discipline and strategy, while Natalie, who uses archery magic nurtures their latent powers. Their training is grueling yet enlightening, pushing Kidd and his friends to their limits and beyond. Throughout their journey, Kidd encounters powerful enemies and undertakes dangerous missions that test his courage and resolve. These adventures introduce him to a host of captivating girls, both within the school and beyond. His bravery and sense of justice win their hearts, creating a harem dynamic that adds layers of romance and complexity to his story. Despite the attention, Kidd's heart remains true to Anna, whose quiet strength and loyalty eventually draw out his deepest feelings. However, not all is well in Dragonia. As Kidd's power grows, so does the shadow looming over the city. King Fjord, the ruler of Dragonia, is revealed to be a cruel and tyrannical leader whose greed and hunger for power threaten to destroy the delicate balance of their world. Even Fjord's own son, Jean, sees the corruption and betrayal within his father's reign. Though Jean believes he is the rightful leader, his ambitions turn dark, leading him down a dangerous path.

Standing against King Fjord and Jean, Kidd is forced to confront the deepest truths about his family, his powers, and his destiny. The battle is fierce, with dragon spirits clashing and magic shattering the skies. Ultimately, Jean betrays his father, hoping to claim the throne himself. But his ambition blinds him, and he underestimates Kidd’s newfound strength. With the combined support of his friends, his mentors, and the powerful girls who have become his allies, Kidd triumphs. He defeats both Fjord and Jean, proving himself as the true protector of Dragonia.

This is the tale of a man who committed a crime in his lands. He touched Ars and awakened. The leader, in his fury, sent him for his death, but before Charles could process what happened to him or what his power means, a Corrupted Eruption occurred, and the entity Ars chose him as a Challenger. He was given the chance to keep his life, but perhaps death would serve him better than to participate in the worst of the games, manipulated by the hands of his majesty, the one behind the curtains. There, on an island, he would face the darkest of humans and wicked creatures, and to win the game as the sole participant, he would need more than his will and newfound powers. --- What to expect? - You can check the bestiary, characters and map here: https://fear.travelerspentales.com/ - The world is the same as in my other novel, Traveler’s Will. Named Ars. So if you want to understand Awakening, Ars and Eruption better, please check out the main novel. - The MC is an adult. Smart and know how to read people. - First Person Point Of View (my first try). My other novel is Third Person Point of View. - Dark Grim Settings: If you enjoy Dark Souls, Berserk, and Cosmic Horror, then you may enjoy it. - Philosophy and Psychology: I’m a huge fan of Dostoiévski and Robert Musil. While this isn’t the focus, you can expect some snippets about existential turmoil and psychological introspection. - Unique System, known as ‘Ars System.'. Light LitRPG elements included, such as window. - Fast plot with lots of battles against creatures and other people. - No harem. - Not a “huge” story. I aim for about 90 chapters. But if it got readers and I enjoy it, I can continue expanding the story. - Chapter length around 1.5~2.5k words. - Release rate: 2–3 a week. I must be done with it until near the end of the year. - My main focus is still my other novel, Traveler’s Will, so if you want to read more of the Ars World, please give it a chance. It’s a slow-burn fantasy with the first arc already completed.

But when Takami Ryusei, a struggling Low Grant level human, is caught in the crossfire of a powerful spirit’s attack, he barely survives. The near-death encounter should have ended him, but instead, it awakens something else: a system. A guide to survival. A path to power. A chance to defy fate.

And he won’t stop until the system makes him strong enough to stand at the top.

In that moment, i didn't see anything but him. I couldn't feel anything other than my energy surging rapidly with hate as i stared into his twisted face which grinned wickedly at me.
