From Shadows To Spotlight

Archer "Archie" Brooks was a renowned actor and a style icon admired by millions. Every movie he starred in was a hit, and every project he touched yielded unimaginable profits. His career was soaring, and just as he was about to receive the coveted Best Actor of the Decade award, he was brutally murdered in a twisted, unthinkable act. But fate wasn’t done with him yet. Archie awoke to find himself in the body of Archer Reid, a nameless, unnoticed stuntman working at the same production house. The name was the same. The face—unrecognizable. Fueled by an insatiable thirst for vengeance and the burning desire to reclaim his former glory, Archie begins from the bottom once again as Archer Reid. As he struggles to make sense of his new life, he becomes entangled with C.A.L.I.X. (Cognitive Artificial Logic and Intelligence Exchange), an enigmatic and powerful system that seems to possess limitless intelligence, yet its true purpose remains unclear. What is this system, and why is it bound to him? Is it a tool for success, a curse, or something far more dangerous? With the system's cryptic guidance, Archer slowly begins to rise through the ranks once again. However, whenever he sleeps, he is plagued by terrifying dreams—too frightening to be true, yet too realistic to ignore. Are they merely nightmares, or do they hold a sinister foresight into the future? --------------------------------- C.A.L.I.X.: Archer, I got an audition for you. Are you interested? Archer: What is it? C.A.L.I.X.: Do you want to act in a community theater? The role of the villain is available. Archer: Me? Do you want me to act as the villain? C.A.L.I.X.: If you aren’t satisfied being a villain, there's another role. It’s the role of a homeless man. Archer: Villain. Villain. I chose the villain. I love playing the role of a villain. I was born to play this role. --------------------- This book will be uploaded on RoyalRoad

DESTINY GAMES

DESTINY GAMES. It has been 85 years since Earth-11 became aligned with Yggdrasil and 73 years since Icon became the first demigod from Earth. Icon, as the first demigod, was privileged to weave the thread of fate for everyone. He was supposed to cut off Yggdrasil and free Earth-11 from the grasps of the other Earths and their god kings. That's why everyone helped him climb the tower of Destiny. But instead of ridding earth of Yggdrasil, he turned the destiny of mankind into seven rings of immortality.  The first ring was for the immortality of power. The second was for the immortality of the knowledge. The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth were for the immortality of the mind, energy, body, and soul. The last ring, the ring of the paragon, was made to rule them all.  Icon kept the ring of the paragon for himself and became a dictator. He ruled with an iron fist for many years. His was a reign of terror. But he was eventually vanquished by the collective effort of the world.  It has been 62 years since then. Icon is no more, but the damage he had done still remains. Earth-11 is still connected to Yggdrasil. The deadly games of the Tower of Destiny still remain, and the fight for the seven rings of immortality still continues.  Kelvin Thorn has just awakened his ability. It came at a good time too since he is running for his life. The ability he awakened saved him, but it came with a cost. He must climb the tower of destiny under the witness of the whole world and accumulate destiny, or he will die.  His situation is not unique. Everyone that awakens, which is mostly everyone, must climb the tower of destiny. It is one of the curses that Icon left behind before he died. But Thorn is different because the seventh ring found him.  The tower of destiny is where everyone granted power by destiny, be they humans, non-humans, or otherworlders, must fight in games of might, skill, and knowledge to gather the power of destiny. They will either die or eventually overcome death. Kelvin will be one of the latest in the line of billions of others in this struggle.

Born to Not Be Noble

Lilith was the very definition of aristocratic perfection. From a young age, she shone as the brightest star in high society. Mastering exotic languages, stitching with meticulous precision, and gliding through ballrooms as if she were floating were as natural to her as breathing. Every smile was rehearsed, every word measured, and every movement designed to reinforce her image as the ideal future lady, and eventually, the perfect queen. It wasn’t just talent; it was discipline, effort, and, let’s be honest, a dangerously obsessive streak. Rumors in the upper echelons of society described her as a prodigy, though some also considered her a mirror so polished it reflected nothing genuine. Then, the accident happened. A slip of fate (or the rug, who knows) left her with nine years of meticulously crafted effort reduced to ashes. She woke up with no memories of her stellar track record or the rules that had made her an icon. Goodbye to perfectly synchronized dances; hello to clumsy attempts at remembering how to hold a teacup without looking like a peasant. Her parents, desperate to restore the lost glory, devised a rigorous regimen: in three years, Lilith must reclaim all her manners, skills, and knowledge to be ready as a queen candidate. What would normally take a decade, she has to achieve in record time. Lilith, who now can’t tell the salad fork from the dessert fork, faces an educational marathon that would make even the most dedicated tutor nervous. Will Lilith regain her throne as the perfect lady of society, or will her fall become eternal gossip among the tea party ladies? One thing is certain: perfection doesn’t include laughing at herself, and that might just be her greatest challenge.

Mas allá del dolor y la soledad

Más allá del dolor y la soledad es una historia profunda y emocional que explora las vidas de varios jóvenes marcados por sus experiencias personales, sus luchas internas y sus complejas relaciones. A través de los ojos de Pariz, la protagonista, se desvelan los oscuros matices de una vida llena de dificultades: malas notas, una familia rota por un padre alcohólico y abusivo, la pobreza y el dolor de vivir en una constante lucha por sobrevivir. Pariz, acostumbrada a la indiferencia y al dolor, busca escapar de su realidad a través del cigarro, mientras enfrenta su propio vacío emocional. Por otro lado, Lápiz, una chica con un pasado de abuso y soledad, nunca ha conocido el amor en ninguna de sus formas. Su niñez estuvo marcada por el abuso en su antigua escuela y el abandono de cualquier figura familiar, y ahora, con una personalidad cerrada y desconfiada, le cuesta abrirse a los demás. Vive en un constante estado de desconfianza, incapaz de conectar con quienes la rodean, abriéndose poco a poco a emociones nuevas, atesorándolas, pero también negándolas, peleando constantemente consigo misma para aceptar las experiencias y aprender de ellas, recordando en el camino experiencias bloqueadas y recuerdos que la perturban enfrentándose a ellos para descubrirse poco a poco. Cada personaje de la historia tiene su propio trasfondo y desarrollo. Johan, jj joakin y otros compañeros, todos con sus propias heridas y motivaciones, juegan un papel fundamental en el crecimiento y transformación de Pariz y Lápiz. Mientras atraviesan sus propias pruebas de dolor y redención, sus caminos se entrelazan, llevando a cada uno a enfrentar lo que más temen: sus propios miedos, traumas y la posibilidad de encontrar algo tan extraño para ellos como el amor y la aceptación, en un reducido grupo de jóvenes heridos de diferentes maneras y como lo esconden para estar con los demas. Más allá del dolor y la soledad es una exploración cruda y sin adornos sobre los efectos del abuso, la soledad, la dependencia emocional y el deseo de pertenecer. Es una historia que no tiene miedo de mostrar la oscuridad de la vida y decepcionar cualquier intento de salir de ese agujero, pero también resaltar los brillos de salvación de forma poética, aunque sea imperfecta y llena de cicatrices.

Beyond the pain and loneliness

"Beyond Pain and Loneliness" is a profound and emotional story that explores the lives of several young people marked by their personal experiences, inner struggles, and complex relationships. Through the eyes of Pariz, the protagonist, the dark nuances of a life filled with difficulties are revealed: bad grades, a broken family due to an alcoholic and abusive father, poverty, and the pain of living in a constant struggle for survival. Pariz, accustomed to indifference and pain, seeks to escape her reality through cigarettes while confronting her own emotional emptiness. On the other hand, Lápiz, a girl with a past of abuse and loneliness, has never known love in any form. Her childhood was marked by abuse at her old school and the abandonment of any family figure. Now, with a closed and distrustful personality, she finds it hard to open up to others. She lives in a constant state of distrust, unable to connect with those around her, slowly opening up to new emotions, cherishing them, but also denying them. She constantly fights with herself to accept experiences and learn from them, recalling blocked memories and disturbing experiences, confronting them little by little to discover herself. Each character in the story has their own background and development. Johan, JJ, Joakin, and other companions, all with their own wounds and motivations, play a fundamental role in the growth and transformation of Pariz and Lápiz. As they face their own trials of pain and redemption, their paths intertwine, leading each one to confront what they fear most: their own fears, traumas, and the possibility of finding something as foreign to them as love and acceptance, in a small group of young people wounded in different ways, hiding it to be with others. "Beyond Pain and Loneliness" is a raw and unembellished exploration of the effects of abuse, loneliness, emotional dependency, and the desire to belong. It is a story unafraid to show the darkness of life and the disappointment of any attempt to escape that hole, but it also highlights the sparks of salvation in a poetic way, even if imperfect and filled with scars.
