"Mana to breathe, mana to eat, mana to fucking live," Inhale: -0.001 MP… oops! You're out of mana points. (Pay-to-breathe RPG.) Humanity's last walled stronghold. _____ In the world Elio lives, every gasp of air comes at a price. A floating indestructible book for every human, a magical system that turns survival into a pay-to-breathe RPG. Here, poverty isn't just being broke, it's choking. Surrounded by barren land and a sea of monsters on top of it (No water, just literal monsters), each day is a suffocating dance of survival, a balancing act between mana for air and mana for food. In this economy, holding your breath isn't just a game, it's a retirement plan. Driven by desperation (and the city's miserly rulers that don’t cut anyone a break), Elio dives into the Book System’s trials to save his family. Along the way, he unlocks powers he didn’t ask for and starts to figure out... Who he really is. Immerse yourself in an adventure where one young man's stubborn refusal to become a statistic could spark a revolution. Who knew being a pain in the system's rear could change the world? Because in Elio's world, breathing is just the beginning of the revolution and... he's gasping for change. But hey, who said saving the world had to be all doom and gloom? Join Elio as he kicks monster butt, uncovers ancient secrets, and maybe, just maybe, figures out how to grow a tree or two along the way. __________ Warning: May contain traces of world domination, an unhealthy obsession with the periodic table, damage points, progression math, and yes, even a sprinkle of that old "power of friendship" magic. Because sometimes, you need a buddy to help you remember which element does what or even help you calculate those sweet, sweet stats. A quick heads-up: Despite what the cover might suggest, this isn’t a hack-and-slash adventure. Think more along the lines of a turn-based RPG, where strategy and choices matter as much as action. Get ready for a different kind of challenge! If you want to know more about the cover: Yep, that's our first FL crying and crossing the transparent barrier straight into a pixelated, indistinguishable sea of monsters. Because why not mix emotions with chaos? She's crazy like that! (Not really... or is she?) Discord to check the visuals: https://discord.gg/W3CjfC2cw4 I’m still working on it in the little moments I find between writing, editing, making more character images, etc. Little by little, we’ll have a Poked... uh, a full SummonDex! Meanwhile, you can check out the ones on Fandom with their... funny descriptions? Or at least I hope so... orz __________ Happy New Year! I just wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for all your incredible support. This journey wouldn’t be the same without each of you, and I’m beyond thankful to have you here. May this new year bring you joy, success, and all the things you’re hoping for. Here’s to a brighter future! Thank you for being part of this story. Cheers to 2025! Thank you so much for reading!

Dr. Elias Vayne, a renowned archaeologist obsessed with lost civilizations, uncovers an ancient scroll that leads him to the barren heart of the desert. The scroll speaks of a forgotten empire, one that thrived in the shadows of history, ruled by god-like beings who granted their people unimaginable power—but at a terrible cost. Buried beneath the sands lies the key to their rise and eventual fall: a sealed tomb, hidden away for millennia, its entrance forgotten by time. Driven by the chance to rewrite history, Elias assembles a small team to unearth the secrets of this lost empire. But as they dig deeper, they begin to realize that some mysteries were never meant to be uncovered. Strange artifacts and cryptic symbols offer more questions than answers, while eerie dreams and whispered warnings haunt their every step. Inside the tomb, murals tell a story of a civilization at the height of its power, capable of controlling the very elements and bending reality itself. But the murals also depict the entity responsible for the empire’s downfall—a god-like being imprisoned within a black stone, locked away by those who feared the darkness it wielded. As Elias and his team venture further into the labyrinthine chambers of the tomb, the line between myth and reality begins to blur. The tomb itself seems alive, its ancient magic stirring as they disturb its long-forgotten secrets. With each new discovery, the entity within the stone grows closer to awakening, and Elias must confront the terrifying possibility that by unlocking the past, they may have unleashed an unspeakable force that could bring about the destruction of the modern world. The Sleeper Beneath is a dark, atmospheric exploration of obsession, power, and the dangers of delving too deep into the unknown. As Elias’s quest for knowledge spirals into a nightmare, he must decide whether to stop the entity’s awakening—or embrace the power it offers, even at the cost of his soul.

Beyond the veil of mortal sight, where time itself doth falter and stars are but fleeting candles in an endless dark, there drifts a Presence. Vast beyond measure, ancient beyond memory, it wanders the cosmic void, untouched by the petty reckonings of men and gods alike. Yet even eternity, in all its dreadful splendor, is not without its curiosities. Thus, with but a whisper, a thought—a gentle stroke upon the loom of fate—It remakes the barren firmament. Where once lay naught but dust and silence, now burgeon worlds of wonder, rich with treasure and ripe for the plucking. Planets bloom with bounteous gifts, the heavens teem with hidden providence, and in the heart of one unassuming sphere, life stirs. Humanity awakens, none the wiser to the hand that shaped their fortune, to the architect unseen. And yet, as they toil and triumph, as they carve dominion from the void, a shadow lingers at the edge of thought. Too oft do they find the road paved smooth, too oft do their hands alight upon that which they did not sow. In whispers and in dreams, in fleeting glimpses betwixt wake and slumber, a question takes root—Are we alone? A few, cursed with sight keener than most, seek the hidden hand that pulls their strings. They peer into the dark, and the dark peers back—silent, patient, and amused. For It doth not govern, nor meddle, but merely watches... and waits. What fools these mortals be, who dance so blithely upon a stage set long before their time.

Edward Blake never imagined that death would be the least of his worries. When a tragic accident thrusts him into the pages of Obsidian Chronicles, a manhwa he barely remembered reading, he wakes up as Edward Arclight, the disgraced Duke of a crumbling estate in the mighty Aurelis Empire. Once a powerful family that shaped the empire’s history, the Arclights now hold nothing but a hollow title and a barren land plagued by unrest and debt. The world Edward finds himself in is one of magic intertwined with relics of advanced technology. After an apocalypse a thousand years ago shattered civilization, humanity rebuilt from the ashes, blending ancient tech with powerful magic to forge kingdoms and empires. Yet this fragile society now faces a growing threat—the return of the Demon King, a malevolent being sealed away by ancient heroes during the apocalypse but never truly defeated. Edward’s headache intensifies when he realizes the manhwa’s destined protagonist—the hero meant to lead the charge against the Demon King—doesn’t exist in this version of the story. With no chosen savior and no script to follow, Edward is left with one horrifying conclusion: the responsibility to save the world might fall to him. But Edward Arclight is a duke in name only, and his people, bitter and downtrodden, see him as a symbol of failure. With dwindling resources, fractured alliances, and a land teetering on rebellion, Edward must rise from obscurity to rebuild the legacy of his house. Along the way, he discovers hidden truths about the apocalypse, the origins of the Demon King, and the mysterious artifacts of magic and technology that could hold the key to saving—or dooming—the world. Caught in a web of political intrigue, ancient prophecies, and the looming shadow of annihilation, Edward must rally reluctant allies, outwit his enemies, and awaken the power hidden within his family’s forgotten heritage. In a world where magic and technology collide and destiny has been thrown into chaos, the forgotten duke must rewrite his own fate and face the ultimate question: Can a side character defy fate and become a hero?

A top - secret experiment's explosion flung Zhang Shuo into a parallel ancient - like world. As the least - favored prince, he got the most barren fiefdom. The land was infertile, resources scarce, and people poor. His siblings, enjoying more imperial favor, often belittled him and his domain. Luckily, a “Tech Crystal” from the experiment came with him. This crystal gave him the power to upgrade the technology tree, offering a shot at changing his fiefdom. Determined to change fate, Zhang Shuo led a purposeful life in his fiefdom. He first focused on agriculture. By introducing modern techniques like crop rotation, local - fertilizer use, and better irrigation, the land became fertile, and grain yields rose, improving people's lives. Next, he developed industry. Starting with simple workshops and basic tech, he made more efficient tools. These workshops grew into factories, making various goods. This created jobs and brought wealth through trade. Towards his hostile siblings, Zhang Shuo stuck to his principle: be kind to friends, tough on foes. His jealous, power - hungry siblings often tried to undermine him, like spreading rumors or sending spies. But he used his wits and tech to expose them, showing his actions were for the kingdom's good. However, if a sibling was willing to cooperate, he'd share tech knowledge, believing unity was strength. As Zhang Shuo developed his fiefdom, it became a model of progress. His story inspired others. With determination and the crystal's power, he was set to transform not just his fiefdom, but perhaps the whole world.

In the fractured world of Eronth, two primary forces dominate: Elemental Flux and Void Flux. Elemental Flux grants users the ability to wield powerful artifacts that can be strengthened through the Dominions, ancient forces tied to those artifact wielders. However, these powers are bound by bloodlines, with the purity of one's bloodline determining their strength and status. Over time, the once-pure bloodlines have diluted, causing artifacts to break into fragments, making the restoration of these powerful relics impossible. In contrast, Void Flux users draw power from dark beasts that roam the wilderness. They infuse the corrupted energy cores of these beasts into their artifacts, enhancing their strength at the cost of corruption, twisting both the artifact and the user. The hierarchy of power in Eronth is defined by the purity of bloodlines and the mastery over either fragmented Elemental Flux artifacts or the corrupted Void Flux-enhanced relics. But not everyone was on board with tradition. Three thousand years ago, there was a Goblin emperor from the Pureblooded Line of Eros who was overly ambitious for power. He began to engage in some seriously forbidden practices. In his wild pursuit to become the most powerful ruler ever, he abandoned the traditions of the world and opted for a life full of excess and debauchery. He was using some unethical methods to collect artifacts from many women, each one holding a fragment of their artifacts passed down through their bloodline. There is a saying—everyone desires power, and if they can't get it, they try to make sure the one holding it is erased from existence. All the Empires around him banded together against him, calling his actions a total blasphemy that could tear reality apart—Dragons, Elves, Dwarves, and Humans—stood against the Goblin Race. This sparked a huge war where his enemies went all out to take him and his whole race down. If he had actually done something wrong on his own, they wouldn’t have gone and killed off his entire race—some of them definitely survived—a handful of them. In the end, they captured him—destroying his tainted artifacts and burying his legacy under the rubble of a fallen empire that had now turned into broken and barren land. Time flowed naturally, and after three thousand years, when the world had changed so much, He came back. Different from before. He is the Leader of Goblin Debauchery—the sole holder of EROS FLUX. >>> NO NTR, NO YURI....

In the year 2084, The world stood on the precipice of destruction. Decades of simmering tensions between East and West erupted into the inevitable—a cataclysmic World War III. No nation was spared. Alliances forged in desperation and shattered by betrayal became the norm. Countries chose sides not for justice, but for survival. The war wasn’t just about ideologies; it was about greed, fear, and the cruel inevitability of power. Nuclear fire rained from the skies, reducing cities to shadows of ash. The atmosphere grew toxic, the land barren, and the oceans poisoned. Humanity had finally created its perfect apocalypse. Humans turned against humans. Neighbors became predators. Survival became a blood-soaked art. Resources. Shelter. Safety. No price was too high. No act too savage. "I kill you before you kill me" became the only rule that mattered. No one cared who lit the first match or why. Right and wrong dissolved into the radioactive fog. The war was universal, relentless, and final. The year is 2084. The world lies broken, steeped in chaos. And from the ruins, a Devil was born.
