Silas, after getting gutted by the hands of his brother, never thought he’d be tossed into another world. Especially not that of a complex ranking system where he’d fight others to the death, make allies, and learn magic just to earn the title of “STAR EMPEROR” — a title gifted to the strongest ranker there with a promised prize… Only it would be a lot harder than he thought. The gods watching the system were unfair and cruel. Plus his enemies were strong, his allies harbored secrets, and he didn’t know a thing about this world’s magic… or why the scar from his death was so important. It was a good thing he knew swordsmanship — swordsmanship he knew he’d have to take to the next level if he wanted to survive. And maybe, just maybe, in the end he’ll find the revenge and power he was searching for. [ DISCORD ] : https://discord.gg/WgJ62z23CB [ TUMBLR ] : https://www.tumblr.com/writer-seddem

"Now, listen to me" he commanded and I instantly looked up at him. "Rule number one, no screaming. No matter what I do to you, I must not hear a single noise. If I do, it would most definitely get worse" he said and my heart hammered in my chest.

At the heart of this volatile world stands Evan, captain of the Golden Sun Guild, leading a team of elite warriors and mages.

In the coastal town of **Sarween**, where the waves of the sea collide with the curse of suspended time, a legend unfolds about a man imprisoned in an endless loop of guilt and oblivion. Adham, the writer who turned his heart into a ledger of lies and ghosts, battles the demons of his memory through **stone towers** that rise from the belly of the sea like divine punishment. Here, where events are born from the womb of pain, **Yara** transforms from a lost daughter into a cosmic enigma: a child who vanishes on a crimson night, only to return as mathematical ciphers that pierce the fabric of reality. Her letters are not cries for help, but calls from parallel worlds mocking humanity’s attempts to grasp time. The **twenty towers**, numbered with the blood of victims, are not mere stone—they are open books bleeding with the wounds of a past rewriting itself. Each tower is a mirror reflecting Adham’s fractured selves: a terrified child, a guilty youth, a weary old man. The **scar above the heart** is but a fiery seal reminding him that the truth is a beast fiercer than any fiction. In this world, time is a poisoned loop: the sea spits out corpses bearing identical DNA, the **white shark** devours the dreams of the past, and shattered mirrors forge parallel universes where Yara does not die… but morphs into an idea haunting her creator. This tale is not a narrative, but a morbid dance between creator and creation. Adham, who believed writing would redeem him, discovers he authored his own prison with his hands: every sentence carved a scar, every chapter lit a candle in the darkness of his conscience. This novel is not about lost time, but about a being who builds his cage from falsified memories and battles mirrors reflecting his image as a crownless executioner. Here, in Sarween, the truth is not a victim… but a killer cloaked in martyrdom. Thus unfolds the legend of **Shards of Time**: like Narcissus gazing at his reflection in the river of memory, drinking from it until death. But here, the river is a sea that regurgitates the names of victims every night, and the mirrors do not reflect faces… they devour them.
