The Clockwork Soul

In the Rusted City, where magic hums through copper wires and clock towers loom like silent sentinels, Astra Valen lives an unassuming life. But their world is built on secrets—secrets buried beneath the ticking streets and whispered in the shadows of forgotten history. For as long as Astra can remember, a rhythmic ticking has echoed in their chest, a sound they’ve always dismissed as a quirk of their body. Until one day, the ticking falters, and Astra collapses, revealing a truth that will change their life forever: their heart is not flesh and blood, but a Clockwork Core—a masterpiece of magical engineering created by a long-lost craftsman known only as the Clockmaker. As Astra grapples with their identity, the city begins to unravel. Machines malfunction, time bends, and the fragile balance of Aetherium—the magical lifeblood of the Rusted City—teeters on the brink of collapse. The Council of Tides hides the truth, while a shadowy force stirs, intent on harnessing Astra’s heart to reset time itself. With the help of an eccentric inventor burdened by his past and a fiercely loyal best friend, Astra must unravel the mystery of their creation. But the Clockmaker’s legacy holds more than answers—it holds the power to end or save the world. As the ticking grows louder and the stakes climb higher, Astra faces an impossible choice: embrace their humanity or become the machine they were destined to be. In a world where time can be rewritten, what does it mean to be human? And how far would you go to protect a future you’re not sure you belong to?

Abandoned in fantasy world, I will change destiny

Kael von Thurad, once a master architect in the bustling heart of a world far removed from this one, finds himself reborn in a strange and untamed land after a twist of fate. His former life, his identity, all of it stripped away, leaving him with little but his wits and a mysterious artifact—a so-called "Empty Lot," a simple name for an item that holds the power to reshape reality itself. With nothing but raw determination and the visions in his mind, Kael begins his work, crafting a small floating village out of wood, stone, and water. It is a humble beginning, a far cry from the towering structures he once designed, but the village is his, and it floats above the wilds like a solitary island in a sea of danger. The land beneath him is unforgiving, a place where survival is earned with blood and toil, but Kael is no stranger to hard work. As he gathers resources from the land and bends the forces of nature to his will, Kael begins to expand his creation. The village grows, passing through stages of technology that mirror the evolution of civilization itself. From the simplicity of steam-powered mechanisms to the complexity of advanced machinery, each upgrade brings him closer to the vision that haunts his dreams—a modern, interdimensional floating city, a marvel of architecture that defies the very laws of nature. But Kael does not work alone. He breathes life into the Seraphs, androids and golems of his own design, constructed from the very materials of the earth. These silent guardians maintain and upgrade the city, their glowing eyes reflecting the light of progress as they carry out his will. They are more than mere tools; they are extensions of his mind, manifestations of his relentless drive to create and conquer. Through countless trials, Kael’s floating village transforms, rising from the dirt and stone of its beginnings to become a sprawling metropolis, a city that floats above the world and beyond it. It is a city of wonders, a place where the boundaries of reality blur, and the impossible becomes possible. Yet, beneath the surface of his grand design, Kael wrestles with the forces that govern this strange new reality. The land is not his to command, and the powers that be watch him with interest and suspicion. But Kael is a man of vision, a builder of dreams, and he will not be deterred. His floating city becomes not just a refuge, but a testament to his will, a defiance of the natural order that seeks to contain him. Kael von Thurad’s story is one of transformation, a tale of creation born from destruction. It is a journey through the dark and unknown, where imagination holds the power to reshape worlds, and where a man can rise from the ashes of his past to build something truly extraordinary.

Code of the Golem

In a world where technology and magic rarely intersect, Alex found himself an anomaly. By day, he was a white hat hacker, navigating the complex web of cyber threats to protect the innocent. By night, he was a dreamer, lost in the pages of fantasy novels, imagining worlds where knights and wizards fought against the forces of darkness. He never thought his two worlds would collide in the most unexpected way. One fateful night, while unraveling the intricacies of a particularly malicious virus, Alex stumbled upon something he shouldn’t have—a hidden code embedded in the virus, pointing to a clandestine network of powerful individuals. His discovery put him on a collision course with danger. As he delved deeper, a chilling sense of unease washed over him. He knew he was being watched. Later that evening, as Alex walked home through the dimly lit streets, he was ambushed. A shadowy figure emerged from the darkness, and before Alex could react, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. The world around him blurred and faded as he collapsed to the ground. His life as a hacker, protector of the digital world, ended in a brutal and senseless attack. But death was not the end for Alex. As his consciousness faded, he was enveloped in a storm of energy, a sensation both terrifying and exhilarating. He felt his body dissolve, pixel by pixel, until there was nothing but a void. When he awoke, the cold, unyielding touch of stone greeted him. His human form was gone, replaced by a body carved from rock and infused with ancient magic. He was no longer just Alex the hacker; he was something new, something powerful—a golem. In the mystical land of Eldoria, a realm teetering on the brink of destruction, Alex learned of the Shadows, a malevolent force seeking to plunge the world into eternal darkness. Eldoria, once a beacon of peace and harmony, now stood divided and weakened by fear and mistrust. Guided by Elara, a voice only he could hear, Alex embarked on a journey to unite the fractured tribes of Eldoria. The humans, the beasts, the fairies, and even the demons each held a piece of the power needed to repel the Shadows. Yet, deep within the heart of the beast tribe, betrayal festered. The Dragon Emperor, once a revered god beast, had succumbed to the darkness, threatening to undo any efforts of unity. Armed with his unique blend of cyber skills and newfound golem strength, Alex must navigate a world of magic and danger. He must prove his worth to skeptical allies, outsmart cunning foes, and harness the ancient powers that now coursed through his stone veins. This is the story of Alex’s transformation from a hacker of the digital world to a guardian of the mystical realm. This is the "Code of the Golem."

Worldshift A New Beginning.

It's been years since the system emerged on Earth, yet strangely, the world remained unchanged—no monsters, no apocalypse, no towers, no gods; everything was normal. That is, up until the unavoidable happened. Transported alongside the rest of humanity, Lucius Maxwell arrives in a new world, one filled with intelligent and dangerous races. As he explores and travels through this magical realm, Lucius unravels the mysteries surrounding the enigmatic "System." However, a hidden past haunts him—a past he can't seem to remember, a broken time. ---Author Note To Readers: This is the tale of Lucius Maxwell, unfolding not only his journey but also the lives of those around him in both the new world and the old. Each character comes with unique backstories and intriguing hidden details, weaving a narrative that unravels the complexities of their pasts and the mysteries that bind them together. --- Just a heads-up:The story is slow-paced. The positive is that it allows you to experience a very satisfying character growth, giving you a full image of their personalities, feeling their emotions, and witnessing how they deal with struggles while pursuing their goals. However, it's worth noting that this may not be for everyone, as some readers may find it slow and choose to drop it. Nevertheless, I believe that having a story written this way will fill you up instead of leaving you wondering about the missing plot holes.
