Golden Cuts

In the world of humans, everything seemed normal until the day Noah touched the Book of Curses, only to discover that he was not just an ordinary human, but part of a grand conspiracy tied to an ancient power known as the Golden Inscription. This power transcends the boundaries of worlds, pulling him through the Black Pyramid into the realm of Sycera, where magical kingdoms reign and mysterious laws leave no place for the weak. In this conflict between worlds, Noah faces non-human entities such as Shatros, the being of darkness with a crystalline hand and the ability to absorb auras, and Sebak, the warrior whose half-body harbors an unknown power that grows more complex over time. As the greatest secret nears its revelation, Noah realizes that the choice between wielding power or resisting it might be the last decision he ever makes. Battles unfold between living shadows, ancient entities, and diverse magical systems in a constant struggle for power, knowledge, and the choice between control and freedom. Will Noah survive, or is he merely a vessel for a greater force that will consume him in the end?

Humanity’s greatest calamity, the war of Miseria, raged for 15 years in the 1800s, a conflict so ruthless it made demons seem merciful. Every nation took part—the powerful waged war like beasts, while smaller nations struggled to survive. By the time the bloodshed ended, over one-seventh of the world’s population had perished, leaving 200 million bodies rotting across cities, rivers, and mountains. Starvation took countless more, and the war’s damages exceeded one trillion. The world drowned in the scent of blood, decay, and endless cries of suffering. And yet, no one knew why the war had started. Whenever people demanded answers, governments repeated only one chilling phrase: "There is a devil beneath the Atlantic Ocean. Whoever tames it will rule the world." Now, seven years later, the world is still recovering. The Industrial Revolution has ignited rapid progress, but the scars of war remain deep. In the city of Akuro, located in the heart of the Atlantic, an 8-year-old boy, Shin, and his younger sister search desperately for their missing mother. Their struggle for survival leads them onto a path tangled with secrets—secrets that could reveal the true cause of Miseria and change the course of history itself. But some truths are better left buried.

In a reality where fate governs all, one being was never meant to wake. Severence was a name long lost to time, a figure buried so deep in history that even the gods dared not speak of him. Yet, despite their efforts, he has awakened. Not by fate. Not by design. But by something else. He remembers everything. The battles he fought. The gods he defied. The moment he took up The Unmaking, a weapon that does not kill but erases. The war that should have ended with his existence vanishing forever. And yet, here he stands once more. Whole. Alive. Awake. But he does not know why. Cast adrift in a multiverse of endless worlds—where heroes wage war, where gods weave their schemes, where titans clash and destinies are written—Severence searches for an answer. Every world recoils at his presence. Every being, mortal or divine, whispers his name in terror. Every force in existence seems desperate to deny him the truth. Something woke him. Something brought him back. But why? From the burning battlefields of the Holy Grail War to the war-torn realms of gods and monsters, from futuristic dystopias to cosmic battlegrounds—Severence walks the path beyond fate, seeking the answer hidden even from him. And with each world, the whispers grow louder. "He has awakened." "The blade that unmakes walks once more." "Even the gods cannot escape its cut." Severence simply tightens his grip on The Unmaking. Let the gods tremble. Let the universes break. He will carve his own path—until he finds the truth.

Call it petty or perhaps foolish, if you will, but to Lauren, her small revenge became the last saving straw in her drowning life. Betrayed by her own family, who had her incarcerated for a crime committed by her older sister, Lauren wanted to end her life when they also went ahead and disowned her after her release from prison. So as a coping mechanism, Lauren made it her life mission to teach her family a small lesson by denying her sister, Laura, the joy of being with the only man that she has ever loved as a little token of payment for all that she had to endure from them. For years, Lauren lay in wait as she worked as a bar hostess and planned her simple but well-elaborated revenge against her parents' "golden child."

So what happens when this said husband too has no intention of letting her get away with this scot-free and intends to find his "fake" wife and make sure that she pays for her deception? What happens then when she realises that the man that she has been searching for is none other than the very husband that she has been running away from? Will she go and claim him back, or will she continue to let her sister be with him?

Sultan was absent when the gods divided good-fortune among mankind. So, he should have foreseen the consequences when an attractive and alluring lady gifted him a piece of cutting-edge technology. a rarity that is only reserved for the privileged and wealthy.

As The Host locks its gaze on Sultan , impossible tasks and seemingly unachievable challenges come his way.

Armed with nothing but his cooking knife, Sultan embarks on a journey that could end as abruptly as it begins or lead him to a place of legend and myth. The choice is now his to make: succumb to the challenges of The Host, faltering as one of its endless failures, or rise above them to carve his destiny in a world transformed beyond recognition.

At the end of the Second World War. On the island of Goiter, near Crete, a German base is sighted and Lieutenant Marco Kastriokis of HMS Ajax is sent on patrol to prepare for the bombing of the place. He meets Anna and the two fall in love, causing jealousy of someone. An old legend tells that on the island there is a hidden place, the Golden Mouth, from which nobody has never returned because it is guarded by the Golden Monster. But it is a kind of magic place that helps who is in life danger. Marco is captured with Anna and is unable to communicate the data to the ship, but the attack takes place as if the crew of the ship would be advised, not according to the normal precautions that it would require. Marco and Anna free themselves, with the help of Maddalena, but they are hunted by Kepfel, the base commander. They find the Golden Mouth and enter, but they separate and, when Marco exits, time is in the mouth had been equivalent to one hundred and ten years outside. He finds Giovanni, Anna's father, who searched for them in the mouth, suffering the whims of time. From the mouth come out some nuns, who tell him about the cave and about Sister Maria. Marco becomes convinced that Maria is Anna and enters the mouth where Sister Maria, who is a seventy-year-old nun, introduces him to Sergio, a scientist, expert on mouths, who never completed the data to complete his research. There are two mouths inside the cave: one leads forward in time and the other backwards, but it is blocked from the outside by a landslide. Marco tries his luck again and goes back. He removes the landslide and tries to return to his time, but anticipates it by twenty years. Ettore and Chiara host him, and he becomes Marcos Kastro. Marcos has to fix the future events. When Sergio enters the mouth, Ettore, who doesn't want to live another war, follows him: He will explain to Sergio the data he would need. Marcos prevents the murder of Kassandra, by Shulz, the deputy commander of the base, and incidentally, prevents Maddalena from becoming the prostitute who will help Marco Kastriokis. He'll have to help him. He shows up on Ajax and ensures that the attack occurs without harm to Kastri. Kastriokis manages to free himself and escape with Anna, but Chiara will prevent him from entering the mouths. Sergio and Ettore will appear a few days later, thanks to the accuracy of Marcos' data.

In the lower realm of the soul dimension, everyone has a soul manifestation in either the form of a weapon or an organism.

But on Arian’s 16th birthday, Kaidyn disappeared. In his absence, Arian studied hard to become a soul apothecary, striving to be useful so that he wouldn’t die and could meet the boy he cherished once again. At 24 years old, he almost lost hope, but suddenly, Kaidyn returned. He was a bit different than before, a strong, grown man with an aloof demeanor, but Arian loved him all the same. It’s just Kaidyn seems to have misunderstood what Arian meant by love!

Standing beneath a golden moon, oh how does it let you see, how worthless you are. What does it take to break a man, to destroy them inside and out? What is the snapping point, where do you draw the line? What do you do when you have a goal so ambitious that you throw away your humanity to achieve it? These are the questions that will be answered with time, for you see, time will tell, as it always does. --- Authors note : The synopsis was a little vague so I will explain what you can expect to find if you decide to read my novel. I dislike romance and love stories, so expect none of that. I also dislike buddy buddy characters, so sadly no sidekick. Just for the record, I am aiming to create a REAL villain, none of that stuff where the villain actually turns out to be nice. There will be gore, notions of violence, trauma, and tragedy. I want a story that will make you feel, I want a dark story. Hopefully, I can provide that to you. Also, I cannot promise a consistent schedule of chapters, my schedule is very sporadic and often wack, so sorry if you wait days or weeks for one chapter. I can at least promise one a week, hopefully. **READ AT YOUR OWN RISK**

I slumped down a wall, feeling severely weak after getting shot. who would've thought I would go out like this? When I opened my eyes again I thought I would either find myself in the hospital or the afterlife but instead, I found myself in the bottom deck of a ship...in chains at that! At first, I thought it was a wild-ass Lucid Dream but the sound of cannon fire and swords clashing woke me out of those foolish thoughts. It was then that I realized that while I did die it doesn't seem that I reincarnated but instead got sent back in time. It wouldn't be until later that I found out that I was sent back in time to the Golden Age of Piracy. But it turns out that things went nowhere near the way history portrayed it.
