Wraithbound Chronicles

In the decaying heart of the Aureline Dominion, Karl Redhouse is no longer a forgotten background figure—he is the reluctant hero cursed with Return by Death. Each time death claims him, he is reborn at a predetermined “save point,” trapped in an endless cycle of loss and renewal. For centuries, this cruel fate has forced him to witness countless lives, battles, and betrayals, each rebirth etching deeper scars on his soul. But as the ruins of his crumbling world echo with the secrets of the past, Karl begins to suspect that his curse might also hold the key to his liberation. Driven by a desperate need to break the cycle, Karl embarks on a perilous journey through the forgotten districts of the Dominion. Guided by an ancient tome and the cryptic prophecy of an event known as the Eclipse of the Eternal, he delves into ruined temples and secret sanctuaries where the ancient magics of Curse and Spirit intermingle. With each step, he confronts the duality of his nature—balancing the destructive power of his Curse magic with the transcendent force of Spirit magic—in hopes of unearthing a way to rewrite his destiny. Parallel to Karl’s grim odyssey in the physical realm unfolds the vibrant digital saga of Wraithbound Chronicles. In this immersive virtual world, legendary heroes like Darian Blackwood and Lucien Ashford enact their mythic destinies, celebrated by multitudes and woven into the fabric of popular lore. While their dazzling exploits captivate the realm’s imagination, Karl’s personal struggle remains shrouded in solitude and suffering—a dark counterpoint to the heroic narratives of the game. Haunted by the echoes of countless past lives and driven by a spark of rebellious hope, Karl sets out to confront the hidden forces that control fate itself. Amid conspiracies orchestrated by secret organizations like the Inverted Sky and the looming threat of an encroaching Mirror Dimension, he must unravel the ancient mysteries of the Dominion. Only by embracing both the light and darkness within him can he hope to shatter the bonds of his cursed immortality and claim a future of his own making. In a world where death is a beginning and every resurrection is a chance to change the course of destiny, Karl Redhouse’s journey is a desperate, solitary battle against time itself—a quest to reclaim life from the clutches of eternal recurrence and to forge a destiny free from the shackles of the past.

The Chronicles of a Veiled Epoch

Synopsis: The Chronicles of the Veiled Epoch In the sprawling city of Lumeria, where the clash of steam and sorcery fuels an age of progress, the forgotten whispers of an older world lurk beneath the surface. Lucien Carter, an unassuming archivist, stumbles upon a forbidden journal hidden deep within the Grand Bibliotheca—its pages filled with cryptic symbols and ominous warnings of an ancient force beyond comprehension. As Lucien deciphers the text, his mind unravels, unveiling glimpses of a reality not meant for mortal eyes. Eldritch entities from the Beyond Veil stir in their slumber, their influence seeping into the cracks of reality, twisting the city’s foundations with inexplicable horrors. The Iron Conclave and the Midnight Council, two factions seeking control over Lumeria’s destiny, have unknowingly tampered with forces far older and far more malevolent than they can fathom. Haunted by visions of unfathomable voids, faceless watchers, and whispering gods, Lucien embarks on a perilous journey through secret societies, arcane pathways, and the eerie remnants of civilizations that vanished without a trace. As he ascends the mystical Path of the Seer, he begins to glimpse the truth—that the world of Lumeria is but a fragile illusion masking an abyssal nightmare. With each step forward, Lucien must navigate a labyrinth of forbidden knowledge, eldritch abominations, and rival factions vying to either harness or destroy the cosmic horrors stirring beneath reality. But the deeper he delves, the more he risks losing his mind, his identity... and perhaps even his humanity. When the final veil is lifted, will Lucien conquer the madness... or become a part of it?

Born of fire and hunger

In the greater part of human kind there resides an instinct for survival. It is this which can clutch at straws and affect a rescue from them. It is this which can, now and then, outwit fate : Tanith Lee There are moments in life when you don't know what to do. Some of these moments can be good, like when a father holds his first newborn baby for the first time and realises he has no idea what to do. Or when somoene who has worked his entire life without stop finally retires and doesn't know what to do with his free time cause he's never had any. An then there's me, somoene about to have possibly the first of many so called "worst day of my life" as I stare at what is most likely a death sentence. You see for contexe, the world I am in is a little strange. Before you make any assumptions, this isn't an isekai where I get whisked off to some fantasy world to fixe some other peoples problems. At least not completely. The world I am in is strange in the fact that about 75 years ago, give or take one or two, a massive portion of the population vanished without a trace. Freaky I know, but not as freaky as when they came back and brought with them "magic". The laws of physics seemed useless and easy to ignore for these people. They could do incredible things. Flying through the air at unimaginable speeds, shooting fire from their fingers, moving mountains with their power. Even freezing time was within their reach. It was safe to say at this point that the world was going to change forever. Now listening to all this you'd probably say, wait Lucien isn't this awesome? Magic powers and all you have to do is dissapear for a while, isn't that a pretty good trade of? And normally you'd be right, but of the approximately 100 million who dissapeared, only 13 million came back. Not very good odds. Those that came back told stories of what they had to do. The trials they had to pass. Now this isn't some tower climbing story like you probably read in those webnovels. Every trial was unique to the person. Some where easy and some landed you in the 83 million that didn't come back. And naturally like any good fantasy story, the great dissapearance, as we came to call it, didn't happen just once. And so my story begins here, in the middle of the road, 75 years after the first great disappearance, staring into dead space. I would guess that the people who saw me would find me weird, after all I was staring at nothing. But I couldn't be bothered with them right now, and the reason was that I was indeed staring at something. Something that would change my fate forever. [Congratulations challenger] [You have been selected for the trial] [You will be transported in 30 seconds] ... Fuck. Author : this novel does have a system but it's not a leveling system, so if that's what you're looking for, this might not be for you.
