Shard Stories

A bunch of stories where somewhat connected to each other.

Neuro Shard: Ascension - This Is Not Just a Game. In the neon-washed but soul-crushing mega-city of Aethelburg in the year 2150, you're one step away from rock bottom. You are just one of the billions struggling to survive, and the real world has closed every door on you. But what if you were offered a new reality that could change everything? "Neuro Shard: Ascension" is far more than an ordinary game; it transports the human mind to a virtual universe. It's a new economy, a new society, and most importantly, a chance for a new beginning. When Bars Veyron, a destitute university student, invests his last hope in this digital universe, he discovers it's made of more than just pixels and code. In the breathtaking world of Aetheria, every step he takes and every decision he makes will rewrite not only his virtual character's destiny but his fate in the real world as well. However, in this new world, power does not come without a price. Ancient dangers lurking in the shadows, ruthless rivals, and secrets that must be unraveled await Bars. Neuro Shard: Ascension is the story of a journey from zero to the top, the price of power, and how a virtual world can rewrite reality itself. Will this new universe be Bars's salvation, or will it drag him into an even deeper abyss than before? The answer is just one "Initiate" command away in the full-dive.

The stories of the ones left behind, the forgotten and forsaken. In the midst of the chaos, Paul navigates the horrors of the Apocalypse to protect his sister. In a world where death is a prayer that is never answered. A world where monster roam and evil festers; will he succeed in protecting his sister? or would he fail to even protect himself.

Some stories are written. Others awaken. Leo Samuel was supposed to disappear quietly, a failed writer, a discarded dream, a life reduced to broken code and unanswered emails. But when a cryptic message on his screen asks, “Do you wish to rewrite your story?” and he says yes, reality itself begins to unravel. Now trapped in a world known only as The Story, a realm built by a mysterious Author, watched by silent Readers, and shaped by narrative laws—Leo finds himself caught between creation and destruction. Here, writers are warriors, characters can rebel, and forgotten words bleed into power. But Leo isn't a hero. He's a Mythborn, one of the few chosen not to follow the plot... but to forge one. The only question is: Will he write the ending, or become another discarded draft?

Elias Kael thought his life as a chef would be simple—until the day he bonded with a mysterious shard and awakened the power of the Sharder System. Now, with an eccentric companion named Dot, Elias is thrust into a world where Shard Bearers are hunted, their powers coveted by hidden factions. With his forgotten past resurfacing and deadly enemies closing in, Elias must unlock his true potential, master his growing abilities, and uncover the secret behind the shards before it’s too late. But the deeper he digs, the more he realizes—he isn’t just another Sharder. He might be the key to everything.

In a world where magic was sealed away and children with powers were hunted, the academies were meant to help, but instead, they created weapons and prisoners. When the ancient seal breaks, magic leaks back into reality, unraveling a fragile balance built on fear and lies. Among the chaos rise fractured minds, twisted loyalties, and those who must face the darkness within themselves and the world around them. Shards of a Broken Seal follows a tangled web of characters: marked youths, undercover allies, and exiled royalty all caught in a slow-burning rebellion against a corrupt system determined to silence the Enchanted. This is not a story of heroes and villains. It is a story of survival, identity, and the painful cost of power in a world where nothing is black or white. Brace yourself for a dark fantasy of shattered seals, broken minds, and a world forever changed.

Audrey Jones has spent her life trapped behind pristine walls, part of a family that shines in public and shatters in private. To their church and school community, the Joneses are the perfect family—devoted parents, active leaders, and doting caretakers. But behind the doors of their immaculate home, Audrey is subjected to cruel punishments, relentless gaslighting, and isolation designed to break her. When the Joneses adopt Mia, the daughter of their deceased friends, Audrey hopes for a sister. Instead, she gains her worst tormentor. Charming and cunning, Mia quickly earns their parents' favor and manipulates her way into the role of the perfect child. With each passing day, Mia spins a web of lies that paints Audrey as unstable, pushing her deeper into loneliness and convincing everyone around her—including her teachers—that Audrey is dangerous. But Mia’s greatest weapon is not the belt or the starvation. It’s the story she weaves so masterfully that no one questions it. When Audrey collapses at school, worn down by sleepless nights and Mia’s slow chemical sabotage, she finds an unexpected ally in Mrs. Hayes, an English teacher who sees through the golden facade.

I'm doing this for fun

In the Shattered Star Sea, a boundless void born from a multiverse’s mysterious collapse millions of years ago, a quadrillion civilizations vie for dominance across Floating Lands—fragments of shattered worlds ranging from million-kilometer shards to Star Continents spanning ten billion light-years. Each land, pulsing with unknown Origin Cores, generates protective shields, warps time, and bends universal laws, while producing Floating Land Source wisps that power technology, magic, and survival. Star Sea Wonders, rare artifacts from common Colorless trinkets to godlike Chaos Wonders, grant reality-altering abilities—used as weapons, tools, or foundations for overload-level empires. Beings ascend from mortal Zero Order to eternal Tenth Order mythical creatures, with Fourth Order warlords leading low-level civilizations, Seventh Order Kings ruling medium ones, and Tenth Order gods commanding Star Continents with Chaos Wonders. Immortal Taoist soldiers cultivate immortality, mechanical gods forge vast networks, golden giants craft titanic relics, and wizard masters unravel cosmic secrets, all ignorant of the Origin Cores driving their worlds. On Eos-9, a Level 2 Floating Land, the human Vale dynasty thrives in a digital-age society, unaware of the Star Sea beyond their luminous sky. Arin Vale, a brilliant young heir, uncovers a Blue Star Sea Wonder—a warp-capable engine core—during a mining operation. Its neural interface floods him with advanced propulsion knowledge, shattering Eos-9’s isolation. The discovery ignites a catastrophic war, as rival factions, desperate for the Wonder’s power, unleash kinetic strikes that destroy the land and its civilization. Arin, the sole survivor, escapes aboard the Icarus Flame, a test ship powered by the Blue Wonder, leaping into the unknown void. Thrust into the Shattered Star Sea, Arin discovers a cosmos of glowing fragments, shielded lands, and alien ruins, each pulsing with Source wisps and hidden Wonders. Landing on an abandoned Floating Land, he finds remnants of a taller humanoid race and a fractured spear-like artifact, hinting at the Star Sea’s vast history. As he catalogs the Blue Wonder’s additional secrets—schematics for gravity modulation and reality tuning—Arin realizes Eos-9 was but a speck in a universe of quadrillion civilizations. With finite resources and a cooling Wonder, he must navigate treacherous lands, evade high-order beings, and uncover the truth behind the Origin Cores’ hidden power. As immortal soldiers, mechanical gods, and wizard masters hunt the Blue Wonder, Arin’s quest for survival becomes a journey to unlock the Star Sea’s deepest secrets—before its chaotic forces consume him or the multiverse itself.

Some stories aren’t written all at once—they unfold in moments: the brush of fingertips, the warmth of a first kiss, the shyness of shared glances. I’m Inaaya, a girl chasing dreams in white coats while secretly living a thousand love stories in my heart. These are the pieces of my life, my love, and everything in between—letters, memories, and the simple magic of falling in love for the very first time. Because sometimes, it’s not just the big moments that change us, but the quiet ones we almost miss.

First of all, welcome. This is a Novel in which I organize and post multiple ideas so my readers can enjoy it, vote for their favorite, and point out what I did well and what I messed up so I can improve. I used to have another Novel with the same idea but since its old, I just made this one instead so it may reach more people since it's better on the algorythim and all of that. That's why this novel's tags may seem a bit confusing. There isn't much to say about it... The current ideas used were: (Their names aren't set) 1-Ascension of the Card Emperor (Reincarnation/Unordinary Cultivation?) 2-Master of the sands of time (Modern Cultivation/Superpowers) 3-Bridgemaker (Transmigration/System/Fantasy) 4-HP: The Dimensional Turner (Fanfic) 5-Why should I increase my Stats again? (Modern Cultivation/Low Wuxia?/Martial Arts) 6-Auto Hunter (Modern Superpowers/Tradicional Hunter & Rifts) 7-The Hidden Face of the Usurper (Fantasy/Monster Command) 8-Dual Class Mutant (Modern/Unordinary Cultivation?/Superpowers) 9-Successor of lost the bloodlines (Fantasy/Magic/Plotting/Demon Mc) 10-Dragonball fic (Self explanatory) 11-Cultivation Disciple 12-Dungeon Loop 13-Martial Master of Cyberpunk 14-Star-Gazing Mage - ...
