GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.

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?

Dungeon Hunter: Morphmaster

In a world transformed by dungeons and mutations, most people have gained extraordinary powers or unique racial traits. But a boy name Hugo Icelandra is different—he's a powerless human, lacking both abilities and the advantages of mutated races. With no strength to speak of, he’s overshadowed by his talented family and mocked by peers for daring to dream of becoming a Hunter. That all changes when Hugo’s father gifts him the Megatrix, an advanced device capable of transforming him into superior versions of other species. Armed with this revolutionary technology, Hugo takes his first step into the Hunter High Academy, determined to prove his worth. However, the path to greatness is fraught with peril. Hugo must survive deadly trials, face his old bullies, and earn the respect of his peers—all while learning to master the Megatrix and discovering his own inner strength. Along the way, he encounters an unlikely group of allies, including a silver-haired sharpshooter, a fiery dark elf, and a gravity-wielding half-dragon. Together, they’ll uncover secrets that could reshape the very foundations of their world. In a world where power defines status, Hugo’s journey is a testament that ingenuity, resilience, and hard work can surpass even the greatest natural gifts. ---- This novel is loosely inspired by the concept of shape-shifting tech and super-powered transformations, kind of like if Ben-10 went to a dungeon, got a makeover, and swapped the Omnitrix for a wrist gadget with some extra flair. Totally not a copy, just a fun twist on the idea!
