~WSA 2025 ENTRY~ .................................. Died on the battlefield at the age of 25, Reece Vaughn got a second chance in his life — reborn as a 16-year-old three centuries into the future. The world has gone through an inexplicable change by then. The Great Awakening happened, and it left widespread consequences — the emergence of supernatural creatures and the sudden grant of extraordinary powers to some humans. With the sudden gain of extraordinary powers, the human population went astray — some sought resorts, while some started manipulating their powers to satisfy their own greed. As a result, in just a few years, the world teetered on the brink of collapse. Amidst all the chaos and turmoil, the Keeper System arose; to restore the fragile order of balance, nurture the Keepers (or peacekeepers) - a group of awakened humans, and bind the world in a close knit. Thus began the journey of the Keeper System, shrouded in mystery; visibly invisible. Reborn in a world completely different from his own, Reece was astonished! And before he could comprehend anything, he died! Again, for the second time. But, did his journey end even before he started? - Well, NO. He was given another chance to have a fresh start, forgetting everything about his past life; now chosen as a future Keeper. In this life, born in a world where fantasy and humanity coexisted, Reece had to deal with all the hardships, confront everything that came his way, and ascend through the ranks to achieve the coveted SSS rank and become a legendary Keeper. Reece's journey started now. Was it all about only achieving the SSS rank? -No. As he navigated his new life, truths came before him, which shook his foundation! The truth about him, his existence, the organization, the new world, the architect hiding behind a mask whose one wave of hand could change everything! His journey threw him into a complex maze he could never have imagined. ..... Welcome to the world of Keeper System, welcome to a tale of adventure. The novel will be updated daily. There will be more leads alongside Reece; as the story progresses, I'll introduce them one by one to prevent overwhelming you with so many characters at once. Reece's journey will go through a significant development— starting from a relatively powerless individual. I hope you'll like it. And if you like it, consider adding to the library and vote. Your support means a lot to me. Let's get started.

Official Art for the Novel at @the_original_realm (I am not sure if this is allowed, if its not please inform me and I will remove the link) Ten years ago, six-year-old Luke Mace witnessed the impossible. On a snowy mountain, during what was supposed to be an ordinary family hike, a monstrous creature emerged from a glowing portal and tore his life apart, killing his parents before vanishing into thin air. No one believed his story. The official explanation was an avalanche, but Luke has never forgotten the truth: the creature, and the strange portal, were real. Now sixteen, Luke joins a school field trip to the same mountain, only to find himself drawn back to the site of his deepest pain. As the snow falls and strange forces awaken, the portal reactivates, pulling Luke into Aethereon, a realm of ancient power and shifting landscapes, brimming with the mysterious energy known as Advent. In this otherworldly dimension, Luke discovers that the creature responsible for his parents' deaths, known only as The Anomaly, roams freely, a force of chaos that answers to no one. Determined to confront it and make it pay for what it took from him, Luke begins his journey, joined by a group of unlikely companions he meets along the way. Together, they navigate the perils of Aethereon, from its labyrinthine forests to its towering, crystalline peaks, facing foes born of Advent's raw power. As Luke learns to wield Advent himself, he realizes that his quest for revenge is far more complicated than he imagined. The Anomaly is more than just a killer-it is a being tied to the fabric of both Aethereon and Earth, and its existence threatens to unravel the balance between worlds. To survive and protect everything he loves, Luke must face not only the monster but the truths buried deep within himself. The Original Realm is a gripping story of loss, vengeance, and self-discovery, as Luke Mace ventures into the unknown to confront the past and forge his own path forward.
