Argentum Aurum

Aukhemya - Gods and Alchemy

God(s). Angels. Demons. Monsters. They can be more real than you’d like… And more humane too… Maybe way too much… ... … In a world with supernatural races secretly living among humans, this is the story of Lúcio Arabrantes, a lad from Minas Gerais, Brazil. If you expected an unlucky, jobless protagonist… NOT HERE, FOLKS! Owner of a jewelry shop in one of the best shopping centers of Belo Horizonte, he certainly is a successful lad! Regarding his luck… WEEEEEELL… To start, our lad has a weird syndrome and a frail body (oh dear, someone could mistake his condition as a curse…), without mentioning the disappearance of his parents after an accident. Yeah, very original and nothing strange… But this isn't everything. The shop is nothing more than a facade for Lúcio's real business: the store Buriti de Ouro, specialized in artifacts, magical scrolls and talismans, seals, magic forge, formations, matrices and other magical miscellaneous; located in the Brazil Street, Latin America Zone, Heavenly Commercial District. Yes, our jeweler works in Heaven. Literally. But what is Lúcio’s cheat power? Is he the descendant of some god, dragon, spirit or devil? No, he is just a normal human with a… Not that normal job… Skills above everyone else? Despite being a magical inscriptionist and artificer, to surpass the gods and other races is complicated… Could it be the learnings of a past life? Well, Lúcio studied a lot, he works hard, but he never had an ancient great Grandmaster of a supreme sect or a primordial creation god to teach him secret techniques. For now… However, for the ruin of his peaceful lifestyle (if that's even possible in such a world) and rejoice of our readers, his “normal” life changes when a random box appears on his doorstep. Inside the box lies the first and last help left by his parents (spoiler: it won't be the last one). An artifact, the Aurum Nucleus, that could supposedly cure his weird body condition. But the artifact has a special bonus: it hosts the spirit of a… Certain woman… … … You already know that a lot of shit is gonna happen, right? Mercenaries and mobsters appearing to screw the party? Yes. Two dudes on a motorcycle trying to rob him? We are in Brazil, what did you expected? Old bully from school trying to make a fuss in the shop? Check. Aztec sect kidnap and try to offer him to a fallen Aztec god? Yep- Uhhh... The girlfriend is also kidnapped, but by a group of giants with colorful hairs and eyes living on a lost island in the Atlantic Ocean? Certainly- Hold up… Trouble with the island’s church from which the first angels (aka Celestials) and demons (Abyssals btw) come from? Of course- Wait, wait… The lost past of forgotten primordial gods, involving secrets about the origin of everything, schemes and plans of ancient entities, prophecies about the Apocalypse, wars between pantheons, clans and even different dimensions, machinations that could change the world order… Uhhhh… I think you folks got the idea… Fortunately, Lúcio has family and friends to support him in these troubles. From the cheese broas teached by his grandmother, the cheats, tricks and quirks of his family, a little help from adventurer friends, the love of his yander- cahem- protective girlfriend, and the strength of… Golden allies… This is an ordinary and chaotic story, unique and common, boring and funny, unexpected and predictable, pleasant and *censored*, and many other adjectives. So expect lots of jokes and memes (good or not, idc, my humor sense is wild), lovely or bland moments, references and mysteries, obvious or not. And as the novel’s name says, this is a story about gods and alchemy, with a certain island in the middle of the chaos… Discord server link: https://discord.gg/EjG4cBjrkJ

Sanare

In the year 2200, the world had evolved backwards when the existence of humans with superpowers continued to rise in numbers which led to numerous fights that would prove to break nations apart. Now, the circular nation of Aurum is one of the well known countries to have a semi-functioning civilization, composing of six districts. District 6 being the safest and 1 being the complete opposite when a catastrophic incident happened a hundred years ago that rendered majority of its citizens to become grotesquely mutated and driven to madness. The five districts, though each have their own motives and conflicts with the other, all have a shared common goal of making sure that no abominable creatures from District 1 can breach their territories.....as well as to discover the unique and lethal biome of the ruined district. In comes the creation of Iron Maiden Penitentiary, a hidden organization that deals with the most notorious of criminals that are at high risk of being executed or sentenced to life. Iron Maiden Penitentiary offers the convicted criminals of facing imminent execution or having their sentence reduced in exchange for exploring the dangerous prohibited District 1. Not a single batch has returned alive and any records of their findings is lost or destroyed in District 1. Once 30 of the convicted is filled, they are dispatched to the forbidden district, left to fend for themselves with limited supplies and recording equipment. It was either face execution or die trying. Either way, they were all breaching an unforgiving territory that was inhabited by hostile anomalies. Unbeknownst to them, the most dangerous inhabitant of District 1 is ever so ecstatic to have visitors. Althaea simply couldn't wait to become friends with her new guests.

I don't think I'm very good at descriptions but I hate it when books don't have one so... here I am! I might have more books if this on goes well and might reuse characters. and just to let you know im not planning on having this as one of those 'heroic,give up everything for others and actually care about if strangers live or die' nor are they meant to be one of those 'used to be good but Oh sO UneXPecteDly (that's how I express sarcasm thru text by the way) gets betrayed by there 'fRIenD' then ONE OF TWO THINGS HAPPEN 1. they're still good and decide to get as strong as they can but is tramatrised and has to deal with it (aka the one if not done properly is annoying as hell in my opinion but also made one of my favorite stories...) or 2. they're done with people's bull and start to f♡ck up some sh!t (in this storys I have no intention to censor the words but in some others (if this isn't so bad I have to just stop writing...) ) also... this isn't one of those 'build up to power' books... they don't do much in the beginning but I think it gets a bit better and they're op from the beginning but they still somehow grow... in this it's not about how you get power but what you do with it. also the mc is more of a genderless character but I had to put one in... and as a side note why are the classifications of genre different if the mc's a girl then a boy and has less at that... I get if one gender is more likely to be written in a certain way but at least include other types... and why do they not at least have a non-binary option... but that's enough of my ranting so try to enjoy! oh and one more thing... if you see a spelling mistake leave ONE comment on THAT paragraph with the correction please and if you don't like something then you can always review with me of what you think I could do better in the LITERAL REVIEW SECTION instead of b!tching bout it and flooding the comments. and if you just don't like it but have nothing to say or 'just don't want to' then don't bother and PLEASE don't leave a comment that just says something along the lines of ' I'm leaving ' if you have nothing else to say... this is a book not an airport you don't need to announce your departure nor will any one really care... so this is the real end and goodbye! wait actually just one more thing... just kidding! have a nice day.

Silver Blue Eyes - The Awakening Book 1 by Mary D. Johnson

In the ethereal realm of the Nether Dimension, a place shrouded in darkness and mystery resides a young and formidable soul named Keliana Iris Larkin. At the tender age of fourteen, she possesses a power so potent it sets her apart from the ordinary. Little does she know, Keliana is the last descendant of the revered and long-lost royal bloodline known as Aurum. The Nether Dimension, a realm distant and detached from Earth One by an unfathomable expanse of 500 light years, is a battleground between good and evil. Keliana's noble family bears the weighty responsibility of safeguarding all realms from the vile onslaught of demons who traverse treacherous portals and gateways, hell-bent on sowing chaos and tyranny. But the truth that lies concealed from Keliana and her kin is far more astounding and perilous. Within their veins courses the sacred essence of the Aurum Bloodline, a lineage entwined with destiny and royalty. Her father, Prince Erinic Aurum Larkin, stands as the true and rightful ruler of the Nether Dimension, yet this knowledge remains shrouded in secrecy. A sinister web of power and control, known as the Sovereign system, has granted prosperity to select families every fifty years, while ruthlessly eradicating the impoverished to sustain its insidious empire. In this fantastical saga, Keliana must bear the weight of this dark legacy upon her young shoulders.

Can she unravel the tangled web of her brother's unknown fate, and in doing so, keep her resolve unyielding and her family intact? With every step she takes, the stakes grow higher, the darkness threatening to consume her very soul. Will she succumb to the seductive whispers of revenge, forsaking the noble path that lies before her? Or will she remain resolute, her determination fueling her as she navigates the treacherous realm of uncertainty and danger? Only time will tell as Keliana's clandestine journey, veiled in riddles and secrets, commences, casting her into the throes of a mystifying and perilous adventure.

Among Us: Everyone is Imposter

[Congratulations, Host. You are the last crewmate standing.] The words flashed before Saitama’s eyes, a cruel joke in the aftermath of the nightmare that had engulfed The Argentum. A system glitch, they said. A simple error in the code. But that glitch had turned reality into a blood-soaked game, where his friends and comrades were now his predators. [Warning: All other players are impostors. Trust no one. Survive.] As the sole crewmate aboard the station, Saitama was surrounded by impostors—mimics that wore the faces of his fallen crew, hiding razor-sharp claws beneath familiar smiles. Alone in the dark, haunted by the ghosts of those he once trusted, Saitama felt despair clawing at the edges of his sanity. But then, something inside him stirred. [System Activated.] A surge of power flowed through him, a lifeline in a sea of treachery. Saitama’s vision sharpened, his instincts honed to a deadly edge. He was no longer just a crewmate—he was a hunter, and this station was his battleground. [Mission: Survive at all costs.] [Special Ability: Imposter Detection — The host can identify impostors within a limited range.] The system had gifted him the tools to fight back, to turn the tide in this twisted game. But the impostors weren’t the only ones with tricks up their sleeves. As Saitama’s abilities grew, so too did the stakes. Each step he took brought him closer to the truth—a revelation that would shake the very foundations of the universe. [Warning: Failure to survive will result in permanent deletion. This is not a simulation.] With the clock ticking and the impostors closing in, Saitama must navigate the maze of lies and death that The Argentum has become. The system powers might be his only hope, but they come with a price—a burden he must bear if he wants to live. In this game of deception and survival, there are no second chances. Saitama will either rise as the ultimate survivor or fall into the abyss, just another victim of the glitch that became a reality. But one thing is certain: Saitama is done playing by the rules.
