Strands Archive

After a catastrophic collision between dimensions, Jett Storm finds himself stranded on a broken planet forged from the shattered remnants of countless worlds. Humanity is no longer alone. Beasts, alien races, and ancient powers walk the earth, and nothing—not even time or death—follows the old rules. Haunted by loss and hunted by forces he doesn't understand, Jett must navigate a world where reality fractures, survival depends on who you trust, and grief might be the only thing keeping him human.

Two hundred years ago, dungeons erupted across the world, bringing monsters, demons, and endless disasters. Cornered like rats, humanity desperately struggled. Through the course of history, twelve individuals awakened mysterious talents and fended off the calamities, bringing order and peace to the broken world. These twelve are known as the “Twelve Emperors”. Their talent and power were so overwhelming that nobody thought another one like them would appear, or surpass them for that matter. But then… Two hundred years later, a man entered a low-rank dungeon with a Red Party. - Archive of Legendary People, “The One Above All”

Liam Thane, a brilliant but socially awkward linguistics student, stumbles upon an ancient artifact—the Lithic Lament—inscribed with a language that defies all known linguistic rules. His obsession with deciphering it catapults him into a hidden cosmic struggle when he is chosen as the successor to Kairus, the dying Archivist of a celestial library that contains all knowledge across time and dimensions. Now, Liam must master incomprehensible truths, resist the temptation to alter fate, and guard the Archive from entities that would twist its power—all while his humanity unravels.

In the empire of Kauld, heroes are trained at the Majestic Academy to fight the monsters that dwell below. But not all monsters are mindless beasts — some bleed, feel, and dream just like humans. When young students like Mick and Hiroshi enter the academy, and a clan of dungeon creatures called the Abyssal Howlers find themselves stranded on the surface, two worlds begin to collide. Who is the real monster… and who will survive when the lines blur?

“If Heaven will not crown me, I will rise anyway—fire and all.” Born a concubine’s daughter in the grand halls of Great Qi, Li Ziyan was expected to be silent, obedient, and invisible. Instead, she dared to dream — of justice, of change, of power denied to women like her. Cast out by her powerful family for a single act of defiance, she is left disgraced, alone… and furious. But exile is only the beginning. Joined by a fierce sword-wielding ally and a quiet apprentice with secrets of his own, Ziyan begins her journey as an outcast — building strength in the shadows, gathering allies among the forgotten, and uncovering ancient truths buried by a corrupt empire. Yet danger follows close behind. Someone from within her own bloodline wants her erased. A shadowy conspiracy tied to relics, legends, and forbidden orders hunts her every step. And deep within an abandoned monastery, Ziyan awakens something older than prophecy — a flame tied to the lost Phoenix Archive, and a power long denied to any woman. As secrets unravel and enemies close in, Ziyan must choose: Will she remain a fugitive hunted by the past? Or will she rise from the ashes — and reclaim a destiny that even Heaven tried to steal?

Some threads tie us to the ones we love. Others bind us to a destiny we never asked for. Seventeen-year-old Ahri Seo never believed in fate—until the night she saw glowing threads connecting strangers, binding souls like constellations across the city sky. After surviving a near-death subway accident near Gyeongbokgung Palace, she’s pulled into a world where destiny is real, threads carry power, and ancient spirits still whisper through forgotten temples. Taken in by a reclusive monk and guided by the soft-spoken but powerful Jin, Ahri begins to train as a Threadseer, one who can perceive and manipulate the golden strands of fate. But as her powers awaken, so do ancient enemies: the Severed, a cult determined to unravel the fabric of the world—and led by a woman wearing a cracked fox mask who claims to know Ahri’s bloodline. Beneath Seoul’s surface lies another realm—mystical, fragile, and teetering on collapse. Spirits, echoes, and hidden memories all intertwine here, and at the center of it all is a fox spirit whose intentions remain unclear. As Ahri walks the edge between fate and freedom, she must uncover the truth behind her mother’s disappearance, the golden thread wrapped around her wrist, and the terrifying possibility that some stories were never meant to be rewritten. In the spirit world, to pull a single thread is to risk unraveling everything.

"Forget nothing. Fear everything. Write anyway." In a house filled with bone corridors and whispering walls, Callum Mercer awakens to find that he is not alive—but remembered. Shelved inside a labyrinthine Archive of forgotten lives and fractured spines, Callum must navigate a world where identity is rewritten, memory is weaponized, and death is just a misclassification. As he descends through marrow-laced sanctums, scribes made of regret, and doors carved from teeth, one question haunts him: What happens when a story starts to write back? Bone Archive is a deep-psychological horror novel about recursion, memory collapse, and the price of being remembered wrong. It is not a book for the faint of mind. It is a book that knows you're reading it.

#ADVENTURE #WAR Before the fall, there was a choice. Before the monsters, there was a man. In the shadow of Mount Banahaw, deep beneath the soil, Dr. Rhane Wu—last in the bloodline of Dr. Henry Wu—awakens a system that was never meant to be touched. The Codex Prime was designed to archive life. Rhane rewires it to replace evolution. Buried in sealed tanks are hybrids, twisted fusions of predator and anomaly. Among them lies XENOVORAX, still sleeping—still dreaming. But the jungle remembers. And so does JIRUUN—a Warden-class entity born not from man, but from something older. Something watching. As global systems blink out, genetic failsafes rupture, and ARKHIVE prepares for a new host, Rhane records one final Codex entry. “We tried to resurrect the past. But the future had teeth.” This is not a tale of redemption. This is the prelude to extinction. “The world didn’t end with man. It began after him.”

Mors Walk doesn’t fix timelines. He decides which ones deserve to exist. As an operative of the Archive — a secret organization that edits reality — Mors erases contradictions, deletes cities, and archives versions of himself that failed. Cold. Calculating. Utterly utilitarian. He’s the man they send when logic breaks and truth becomes a threat. But when he discovers a rogue copy of himself hiding a forbidden future, Mors is forced into a game even he didn’t author. Some lies hold the world together. Some truths are too dangerous to remember. And some futures… refuse to die quietly.

For 500 years, she has been condemned to suffer. Clark Parker is reincarnated thirteen times, only to live a cruel life. In her final life, she dies a Saint, and the Veil offers her release: a chance at peace, at bliss--rebirth without sorrow. She refuses. Clark doesn't want to come back. She wants answers. But the truth she seeks lies deep within the Old Archives, a place forbidden to all but reapers. And she isn't one--not yet. To become an envoy of death, she must destroy what remains of her grace and taint her soul. And there is only one place to break a Saint: Hell. There, among the ruined and the wretched, she will rise. Through torment. Through the ranks of demons, and ascend as a reaper. But the closer she comes to the truth, the colder the world becomes. Because some secrets are chained for a reason. And some names should stay in the dark.

This isn't the story of the typical boy or girl who through a turn of fate gain something that would help them get stronger overtime, achieve immortality or conquer a world. No. This is a collection of the many personal archives of an obscure and strange oddity. A mysterious traveler who goes anywhere and anytime in the cosmos unobstructed, with no apparent goal or agenda to those he visits. He may appear uninvited at an important event organized by a galactic superpower, barge his way to a serious meeting of world leaders who gathered to decide the fate of their dying solar system or walk straight into the middle of an imminent battle that would decide the future ruler race of a planet. He may visit a primitive planet where the dominant race still uses cold metal weapons, a main space station hub where all sorts of races gather and trade or a world govern by magic principles where they master the arcane powers and use them in everyday life.

(I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com) He was living a normal, happy life. 『When the raven calls thrice at the break of dawn, remember the life you left behind. For it is in the memories of yesteryears that you will find the strength to forge tomorrow』 A loving father and a successful confession. Good looks and top of his class. He had all he wanted, however... 『The raven will guide you to wisdom, but beware its twin; for it brings only sorrow. The path of Odin is paved with both light and darkness. Choose wisely; lest you shall be consumed by it』 It seemed like the threads of eternity had something else planned for him. Severed strands still drift in the cosmos as he was plucked away from one, and planted into another reality. Another world. Universe. Even though reincarnation was the last thing he wanted. 『It was carved in destiny itself』 "Fuck off..."

The guiding star of the north. ********************** This is my first time making a story like this. Hope you enjoy it. Add it to library, comment and review if you like it.
