The Shadow Ascends

Synopsis of The Shadows Ascend In a world shattered by the appearance of the Tower of Eternity and the subsequent rifts that ravaged the Earth, humanity is forced to survive amidst the ruins. The Tower looms over the remnants of civilization, offering unimaginable power to those who can ascend its endless floors—but at a terrible cost: the soul of the climber. Kael Valen, a bitter and cold-hearted survivor, is one of the Rift Servants—a class of people forced to venture into dangerous rifts to collect valuable resources for the Syndicates that now rule the Earth. Once a hopeful boy, Kael’s life was ruined when his family was torn apart by the Tower’s arrival. Sold into servitude, Kael has learned to trust no one, survive at all costs, and most of all, hate the Tower and everything it stands for. When Kael stumbles upon an ancient, mysterious power within a rift—the Null Nexus, an unshaped shadow that offers strange, unexplainable abilities—his world changes. But this power, still untamed, is not without its risks. As Kael fights to control it, he realizes that the Nexus is more than just a tool for survival: it’s a key to understanding the true purpose of the Tower—and perhaps a way to destroy it once and for all. Joined by Lira Thorne, a ruthless climber with a deadly secret, Kael must navigate the deadly rifts, betrayals, and twisted politics of the new world, all while avoiding the watchful eyes of the Eclipsed Order, an ancient cult that worships the Tower’s power, and the Syndicates that seek to control the resources. But with each passing day, Kael’s control over the Nexus weakens, and the shadow begins to consume more than just his body. In a world where survival is a constant gamble and power comes at the price of humanity, Kael must decide: will he use the power of the Nexus to destroy the Tower and save the remnants of Earth? Or will he succumb to the darkness within, losing himself in the process? "The higher you climb, the darker your shadow becomes." --- This synopsis builds on the key themes of survival, power, and sacrifice, while giving a glimpse into Kael's motivation and the dark world he's navigating.

I Contracted Myself: Awakening SSS+ Potential

In a world overrun by dungeons and monsters, humanity's last defense lies in the hands of Awakeners, individuals gifted with extraordinary abilities. But not all abilities are created equal. Axel awakened Contract Bind, a unique E-rank ability so useless it seemed like a cruel joke. Unlike others who could form pacts with monsters and beasts, his ability could only bind a willing human. The catch? No one in their right mind would willingly surrender their freedom for a meager stat boost, especially to an E rank awakened like Axel. For years, Axel begged, bribed, and pleaded for someone, anyone, to accept his contract. But in a world driven by power and pride, no one was willing to kneel to an ability deemed useless. Even his girlfriend, the last shred of support in his life, abandoned him for a stronger Awakener. Broken, desperate, and with nothing left to lose, Axel made a choice that defied the system itself. "If no one else will, I'll do it myself.” Axel attempted the unthinkable: to contract himself. He knew it was impossible. The system’s rules forbade it. [Warning: Cannot contract self. Target must be a separate entity.] Unrelenting, he pressed on, defying the very foundations of the Awakener System. Then, something extraordinary happened. [Condition Met: Willing Subject Detected. Contracting Self...] [Contract Successful.] [An Anomaly Has Occurred. System Integrity at Risk. Reevaluating…] Pain unlike anything Axel had ever experienced tore through his body. The world blurred. And then, a cascade of notifications appeared, jagged and alien, unlike the polished menus of the Awakener System. [You have become your own summon.] [Status Changed: Human → Monster.] [Ability Rank Reevaluation in Progress...] [Unable to Determine Rank. Assigning Maximum Possible Rank…] [Ability: Contract Bind (SSS+)] Now, with the identity of both a human and a monster, with a power that transcends the known limits, Axel must navigate a world that fears and hunts what he has become. He must rise from the ashes of despair to challenge the very system that sought to suppress him.

Guide pour apprivoiser mes maris vilains

Suite du guide pour élever mes adorables maris. Mo Qiang, une architecte a été choisie par la fée de la nature qui l'a amenée dans le monde interstellaire où elle a été punie pour faire revivre la nature qu'elle a détruite de ses propres mains en créant une architecture qu'elle pensait ouvrir la voie vers le futur. Maintenant, coincée avec un système de revivification de la nature dans un monde plein de gaz toxiques et de trucs intergalactiques où elle doit tout recommencer à zéro et planter plus de forêts et de récoltes tout en créant un monde vivable pour les humains, Mo Qiang souffrait. Mais ça a l'air facile, non ? Non ! Sur son chemin, elle a trois maris méchants, tous les trois veulent la tuer pour pouvoir épouser sa sœur capable après l'avoir rejetée, elle qui était nulle et bonne à rien. Mo Qiang n'a rien contre eux, en fait, elle est plus que prête à divorcer d'eux après avoir sécurisé sa vie et augmenté sa faveur dans leurs cœurs de sorte qu'ils ne la tueront pas mais —— Pourquoi viennent-ils pour elle maintenant ? Allô, vous vouliez tous épouser sa sœur, non ? Extrait : « Voilà, » dit Mo Qiang en poussant l'accord de divorce en regardant son premier mari qui était doux mais venimeux comme un serpent. « J'ai déjà signé le document de notre divorce, tu peux y jeter un œil — attend, pourquoi est-ce que tu enlèves tes vêtements ? » La sirène la regarda et sourit doucement en retirant ses lunettes et dit, « On dirait que mon épouse n'est pas contente que je ne lui ai pas donné d'enfant, ne t'inquiète pas, je vais travailler dur ce soir. » Mo Qiang : « ….. » Je ne veux pas que tu travailles dur ! Prends le deuxième ! « Prends ça et signe-le, » dit Mo Qiang, cette fois plus fermement en regardant son deuxième mari qui lisait un scénario pour son film. « Je suis sûre que tu veux divorcer de moi, n'est-ce pas ? J'ai déjà signé — ouah ! Pourquoi tu me mets sur le lit ? » Demanda-t-elle en regardant le visage magnifique. Son deuxième mari la fixa et d'une expression et d'une voix aussi froides que l'eau, dit, « Je dois répéter une scène d'amour, aide-moi, chère épouse. » Mo Qiang : « …… » Ce film que tu tournes est basé sur l'apocalypse Zerg, ne me mens pas ! Avec qui vas-tu faire l'amour ? Un Zerg ? Prends le troisième ! « Huff, huff... c'est l'accord de divorce, signe-le... Je sais que ta compagnie n'autorise pas les idoles à sortir avec quelqu'un, alors tiens signe-le, » dit-elle à son troisième mari qui s'entraînait à danser. La sirène, habillée d'une chemise en soie ample et de la sueur coulant le long de son corps, jeta un œil au document qu'elle lui tendait, puis étreignit Mo Qiang. Une seconde plus tard, elle entendit sa voix sanglotante alors qu'il parsemait son cou de baisers, « Épouse, tu ne me veux plus ? Est-ce le nouvel idole qui a attiré ton attention, je le savais ! Je vais m'occuper de lui ! » « Pose ce couteau, veux-tu ! » Et pourquoi le troisième prince de la famille impériale qui la détestait à mort lui court après avec des fleurs ? Elle a déjà assez à faire ! ….

Chronicles of the Iterative Beyond

After the chaotic conclusion of the previous novel, reality itself collapses. Protagonists Kai and Andreas awaken in a realm unlike any other: the Iterative Beyond. This boundless, ever-shifting plane of existence is defined by endless layers of creation, each more complex and alien than the last. At its core lies the Forge of Recursive Creation, a mechanism that perpetually spawns new layers of reality, ensuring that no single layer can ever encapsulate the entirety of existence. However, the Iterative Beyond is in danger. A mysterious and malevolent entity known as The Null Artisan has begun unraveling the layers, threatening to erase not just the Beyond but all realities that stem from it. In this ever-changing realm, Kai and Andreas discover they possess a strange new power: the Echo of Creation, a gift that allows them to reshape fragments of the Iterative Beyond. Yet, they soon realize the cost of their power—every act of creation births new paradoxes, new layers, and pushes them further from the elusive "truth" they seek. To stop The Null Artisan, they must navigate the Cascade of Paradoxical Layers, a series of surreal realms where the laws of existence shift unpredictably. Along the way, they encounter enigmatic entities like the Architect of Chaos, a being who claims to know the true purpose of the Forge, and the Keeper of the Vortex, a guardian of forgotten realities. The ultimate goal is to reach the Core of Originless Expanse, the alleged heart of all existence. But as they delve deeper, Kai and Andreas must confront a harrowing truth: the Forge itself may not be a mechanism of creation but a prison, trapping them and every reality in an endless cycle of narratives. Faced with impossible choices, they grapple with questions of identity, purpose, and sacrifice. Can they truly escape the Iterative Beyond, or will they become yet another story within its infinite layers?

The story is kind of inspired by Rebirth/Isekai genre with menus and stuff with an evil and ruthless protagonist. Also for those hoping that this isn't one of those stories where the protagonist drops his hatred and revenge for a girl this is your place. Warning: I do character and world-building( mainly because I spent three to five days writing up settings, plot, characters, and world background knowledge) so please do not expect everything to go at the speed of roadrunner from looney toons. Second Note: So after feeling i horribly fumbled my second novel and never really starting up my third, I'm jumping back to where it all began hoping it lights that fire again. for those that have noticed i have deleted the previous chapters due to a heavy Re-write so I could have a fresh start and pace myself better. The first chapter is most likely not going to drop until I have 10 chapters lined up.
