Beneath the Surface (Fell in Love with the Machine – 1) by: Nova Angelis Vesper Lenore Holloway is not the kind of woman who bends—or kneels. She is independent, untouchable, a force of her own making. She makes her own choices, walks through life with her head high, and stands by her morals, unshaken. A soldier. Untamed. Unbreakable. Until she crosses paths with Lucien Rael Vale. A man like a machine. Calculated. Controlled. Cold. But there’s something deeper beneath the surface—something unreadable, something terrifyingly inevitable. From the moment he meets Vesper, he decides she belongs to him. But Vesper is not something to be owned. She fights him. Fights like hell. Refuses to be caged. Refuses to be another piece in his world of precision and order. But Lucien doesn’t need chains to keep her close. He doesn’t need force to make her stay. He dismantles her differently—softly, methodically, until she doesn’t even realize she’s fallen. She resists, and he waits. She defies, and he watches. And when she finally breaks, he is there to catch every shattered piece. She was never meant to fall. But now, she doesn’t just fall—she is rewritten. She swore she’d never bow. But in the end, she doesn’t just bow—she shatters. And the most terrifying part? She doesn’t want to be saved.

Echo was a nobody, just a scrawny, sleep-deprived teenager who sucked at school but dominated every game he touched. His parents called him useless. His bullies turned him into their personal betting machine, forcing him to win or face brutal consequences. Then one day, his parents vanished. A year later, homeless and abandoned, Echo had nothing left except the game station where he slept. Until he met HIM, the mysterious Game Master. Thrown into a deadly game where survival means leveling up in real life, Echo must outplay powerful enemies, uncover the truth behind his parents' disappearance, and become something more than just a pawn.

Mecha. Magic. War. And the clash of two worlds. The Osten Empire, wielders of arcane sorcery, and the Dunkelheit Empire, masters of advanced mechs and mobile suits, have been locked in a brutal war for dominance. Their conflict rages across the stars — until a forbidden spell, the Light of Punishment, shatters the balance of power, sending both empires into chaos. Jack Squire, a veteran debris collector, expected another routine job in space. Instead, he finds himself caught in the crossfire of history’s most devastating battle, forced to navigate a war where magic defies logic, machines shape destiny, and survival is anything but guaranteed. Meanwhile, Queen Charlotte of Dunkelheit launches a ruthless invasion, seeking to crush Osten once and for all. Standing in her way is Ignius Lux Draconus, an arcane force of destruction, and Rhok Wagner, an elite Armatus pilot with a personal vendetta. As alliances shift and war machines clash against sorcery, a hidden force emerges — one that could rewrite the fate of both empires. What to Expect: Mecha – Stunning mecha designs, large-scale battles, and high-speed tactical warfare. Magic – An intricate arcane system that blends history, mysticism, and devastating power. Waifu (Well, not really, but now that I have your attention) – A cast of vibrant, uniquely designed characters, both male and female, bringing depth, charisma, and conflict to the battlefield. In a universe where machines and mages battle for supremacy, one question remains: Who will forge the future? --- (For fans of Code Geass, Fate/Zero, and Aldnoah.Zero.)

With rogue AI forces evolving beyond human understanding and conspiracies brewing within the highest ranks of Aegis, Leon finds himself at the center of a battle that will determine the fate of both mankind and machine. Will he become the hero the world needs, or will Thanatos consume him first?

Before their annihilation, they unleashed a final contingency—a sentient technological construct imbued with the sum of their vast knowledge, seeking a worthy inheritor.

On the damp, silent sidewalks, he stumbled upon something bizarre: an old gacha machine mysteriously appearing at every corner he turned, almost as if it was following him. Driven by a mix of curiosity and the overwhelming weirdness of the situation, Karl finally gave in and used his last bit of money on the machine. From the gacha ball, he pulled out a card with a barcode. Back in his cramped apartment, curiosity finally won over caution, and Karl scanned the barcode. To his shock, an app called "Common Sense Manipulation App" installed itself on his phone, claiming it could alter people's "common sense." ------ Support Me By Gifts or Power Stones -----
