Lips Upon A Sword Edge

“In a world where gods go silent and monsters whisper in the dark… one forgotten name begins to echo again.” After falling through the cracks of reality itself, a man wakes up in chains — nameless, powerless, and lost. They call him Antares. But even he doesn’t know if that name is truly his. With no memories and no allies, he is thrust into a world of arcane empires, warring noble houses, and hidden forces that shape destiny from behind closed doors. Here, strength is law, and weakness is an invitation to vanish. From the secrets of ancient churches to the twisted ambitions of inhuman rulers, a storm is gathering — and Antares may be the eye at its center… or the spark that sets the world ablaze. Erethna: Edges of Existence is a grand dark fantasy saga — rich with metaphysical mystery, brutal politics, and a deeply structured universe where every action has a cost, and every name carries weight. This is not a tale of heroes. This is a world where the line between savior and monster is paper-thin.

Amara thought leaving home would free her. Haunted by heartbreak, buried guilt, and a past that refuses to let her go, she accepts a scholarship to study Business Management in China—hoping the distance will drown her mistakes. But Shanghai is nothing like she expected. The towering lights and crowded streets only deepen her loneliness… until she meets him. Kai. The boy she used to bully back in high school—the quiet one, the outcast—now a man she barely recognizes. He’s different now. Confident. Successful. And somehow, he’s the very person who holds the key to her survival in this foreign city. Protective. Supportive. Always there. Their paths entwine in ways neither of them could have predicted, and soon, Amara finds herself drawn to him… caught between guilt, attraction, and something darker she can’t quite name. But some connections come at a cost. And as Amara navigates a city filled with secrets, she begins to wonder: Is Kai really her refuge—or the storm she never saw coming?

What happens when bored gods decide to make Earth their playground? The sky split open, and reality shattered. Giant system messages appeared in every city. Monsters poured from the shadows.

The story follows Shin Ye-Jun, a 26-year-old streamer who had just returned home from celebrating his mother’s birthday. Now, caught in a divine game of blood and chaos, he must grow stronger, uncover the secrets behind the system, and most importantly: “I will protect my family.” [Note: Every New chapter drops at 7a.m and 6p.m est.] [Discord link : https://discord.gg/7GU9kuR5]

In a world where even side characters kill to survive, he must claw his way through betrayal, blood, and broken fates. If he can't rewrite his destiny, he won’t live long enough to regret it.

Llyr Stromheart, seorang bangsawan dari wilayah terpencil Halsingmere, hidup di tengah ketegangan antara Utara dan Selatan Kerajaan Zaryssia. Saat Raja Zaryssia yang berasal dari Selatan mulai kehilangan kendali atas wilayah utara yang bergolak, ia menunjuk Llry—seorang bangsawan yang dikenal cakap dan loyal—sebagai gubernur khusus untuk menenangkan kawasan yang rawan pemberontakan itu. Llyr menerima tugas itu dengan niat tulus menjaga persatuan kerajaan. Dalam waktu beberapa tahun, ia berhasil menstabilkan hampir seluruh wilayah utara melalui pendekatan diplomatis, reformasi ekonomi, dan kekuatan militer bila diperlukan. Ia mendapatkan kepercayaan rakyat, para pemimpin lokal, bahkan mantan pemberontak, dan wilayah Utara pun menjadi lebih makmur dan teratur dibanding wilayah Selatan. Namun, keberhasilan itu justru memunculkan rasa takut di hati sang Raja. Didorong oleh bisikan para bangsawan istana yang merasa terancam oleh pengaruh Llry yang meluas, Raja mulai mencurigainya. Llry dituduh hendak mendirikan kerajaan tandingan dan melakukan pengkhianatan. Tuduhan itu disebar ke publik, reputasinya dihancurkan, dan pasukannya diperintahkan untuk ditarik. Pengkhianatan ini memicu gelombang konflik yang tidak diinginkan Llyr. Terdesak oleh fitnah dan tekanan politik, ia akhirnya terpaksa mempertahankan diri dan membela wilayah yang telah ia lindungi. Dari penjaga kerajaan, ia berubah menjadi penantang tahta, bukan karena ambisi, tapi karena tidak ada lagi jalan untuk kembali. Llyr Stromheart akhirnya bangkit sebagai kekuatan baru, bukan untuk merebut mahkota demi kekuasaan, tetapi demi menegakkan kebenaran, keadilan, dan menyelamatkan Zaryssia dari kehancuran yang disebabkan oleh ketakutan dan intrik para penguasa lama.

She killed on stage… and the curtains never closed. Lilith never wanted the spotlight. But when a blade found its way into her hand during the academy’s grandest theater performance, and blood painted the stage red, the world saw her for what she truly was. Or… what they forced her to become. Now transported into a realm that feels more like a cruel joke than a second chance, Lilith finds herself under the watchful eyes of a cold knight commander and a golden emperor with secrets far darker than their crowns. In this twisted fantasy where survival is a performance and everyone wears a mask, Lilith must decide: Will she play the role of a pawn? Or write her own bloody script?

Jin Mu-ryong, the disgraced heir of the Frozen Blade Sect, kneels before the Imperial Court—his hands bound in soul-severing chains, his once-proud robes reduced to bloodied rags. The Emperor, flanked by the very martial brothers Mu-ryong once called family, grins as he pronounces the sentence: "Execution for the traitor." Desperation turns to rage as Mu-ryong smashes his forehead against the floor—not in surrender, but in final defiance. The impact cracks the marble, and in that instant, a blinding summoning circle ignites beneath him, its intricate runes unlike any Murim formation. The Emperor's smirk vanishes as Mu-ryong dissolves into golden light, leaving behind only a whisper of qi and the echoing laughter of… someone else. He awakens naked and wounded in a grand cathedral, surrounded by foreign mages in flowing robes. Their language is gibberish, but their expressions are clear: awe and terror. For Mu-ryong has not been exiled—he has been summoned. The Kingdom of Luminar is losing its war against the Demon God’s hordes. Their last hope? A "Hero from Beyond the Heavens and a puppet they can control." But what they got was no hero, nor a beast to be tamed—they summoned a vengeful Murim monster.

He created an empire—not to rule the world, but to understand it. Silas Reed unified Earth, conquered nations, and led humanity into the stars. Not as a hero. Not as a tyrant. But as a man obsessed with truth. He needed minds. Tools. Data. So he raised a civilization around him like scaffolding. But when that civilization stopped growing—when it became content—he let it collapse behind him without regret. His final experiment was a time machine. It failed. Instead of the past, it flung him into another universe—one ruled by martial gods, bloodline dynasties, mana, and power structures beyond human logic. Here, Silas is no longer at the top of the food chain. But that only makes the puzzle more beautiful. He doesn't want revenge. Or redemption. Or power. He wants understanding. What he doesn't know—yet—is that he was expected. That his arrival was not a fluke, but a move. One placed on a board he cannot yet see, by players he cannot yet comprehend. This is not the story of a chosen one. It is the chronicle of a man with a single obsession—and what happens when a cold, curious god of reason walks into a world that runs on myth. ------ -> Tags: #Transmigration #RationalMC #NoSystem #DarkFantasy #CosmicIntrigue #ObsessionDrivenMC -> Discord: https://discord.gg/W7DZDWYjKH

(SPOILER ALERT!!!!:) In a realm crushed under the iron fist of the ruthless tyrant Dextin, hope flickers like a dying ember. The story explodes in a moment of shocking defiance when the ancient, sentient Red Katana chooses Dran, a battle-scarred elite soldier, as its wielder. This isn't some destined hero; Dran is a man tormented by personal tragedy, his wife brutally murdered by Dextin himself. His desperate whisper—"Why the hell did you choose me?"—sets the stage for a rebellion born not of prophecy, but of raw, agonizing pain and a thirst for vengeance. The palace becomes a battleground of wills and blades. Dran's initial, impulsive strike against Dextin ignites an inferno, both literally and figuratively, as the palace burns and loyalties shift. Witnessing Dran's unyielding spirit, the oppressed elite soldiers, led by the steadfast Aingo, finally find their courage, abandoning their tyrant. While Dran faces Dextin in a brutal, no-holds-barred duel, Aingo orchestrates a desperate prison break, freeing countless villagers and sending Neon to protect Dran's young son, Rider. The climax is a devastating, fiery dance of death between Dran and Dextin, each fueled by a personal, consuming hatred. Despite suffering grievous wounds, Dran unleashes the Red Katana's full, unbridled power in a final, sacrificial attack. Though he falls, his dying wish to Aingo—to raise Rider as a warrior and the future wielder of the Red Katana—cements a new legacy. The Red Katana, now dormant but bound to the true Sword Master, awaits its next champion. Seventeen years later, the echoes of Dran's sacrifice linger, poised to awaken a new dawn for a land still yearning for true freedom.

This is a science-fantasy novel. THIS NOVEL HASN'T STARTED YET. A new phenomenon emerged in the 21st century, where people around the world are subjected to random mass delusions and illusions. Upon this information being disclosed to the masses in 2014, a streamer jokingly called the phenomenon the “Adolescence Syndrome” as a reference to a certain light novel released at the time. This was quickly adopted to be the proper scientific term for the phenomena, as it seemed to only affect people whose brains were still developing. While most cases seem harmless—save for psychological trauma—many led to sudden deaths, leaving families ruined in its wake. Now in modern times, a decade after the phenomenon was first documented, society has adapted to the global phenomenon, treating these illusions and deaths as normal circumstances. Scientists and researchers still haven’t figured out the cause for the Adolescence Syndrome, while governments attempt to utilize it. At this time, a certain college freshman attempts to lead a normal life. Or not.

The continent of Terrazir is etched upon an endless sea, a land of hills that roll like waves, mountains that scrape the sky, and prairies that seem to stretch on forever. Here, the history of clans and kingdoms has been written with the blood of the innocent and the lament of the victors. Right at its heart, Zhailon rises, a kingdom of imposing walls and the home from which, it is said, the mightiest warriors are born. For many, to belong to Zhailon is a herald of power and ambition. For young Aiden, however, it was once simply his world, the place where his future as a distinguished student at the Eilhart Academy was just beginning to blossom. But one fateful night, everything changed. In a single, tragic confrontation, the world Aiden knew shattered into pieces. Condemned, his Svalthren blood a shadow that weighed heavier than any trial, he was cast into the desolate silence of the Hollow Bastion. Fifteen years passed there, and with them, hope vanished almost entirely. It was then, with the coronation of a new king, Veilon Thalmyr, that an unexpected order twisted his fate once more. Aiden was pulled from the darkness, not to find the freedom he longed for, but to be placed in the service of the King's new elite forces, under the gaze and command of the dangerous Angellon Norvel. Now, back in a world that recognizes him only as the ghost of a crime, Aiden finds himself on a path fraught with peril. Bound by a duty he did not choose, to a king he distrusts and a commander whose true motives are a mystery, the echoes of his past cry out for vengeance. But the future, uncertain and menacing, seems to demand that he become someone entirely different. Will Aiden allow himself to be consumed by the bitterness of all that was taken from him? Or can he find, amidst the rubble of his former life, the strength to face what comes, and perhaps, just perhaps, forge a new path? His journey unfolds... At the Edge of the Abyss.
