Games Like Trials In Tainted Space

A world where magic beasts went extinct… until technology revived them! David wakes up in the middle of a Hatching Ceremony in the body of Jethro Merrick, clutching the lowest ranked egg. Now he’s living the life of a poor mechvet’s son, dreaming of adventure as a Riftwalker (think monster taming and dungeon clearing… but with cybernetic beasts!). But dreams crash fast. His egg hatches into a Red Lizard—cute but powerless and only used for pest control. Just as Jethro resigns himself to a boring life, a wrong turn during a Rift Training expedition lands him in a forbidden Rift zone. He barely escapes alive… only to wake up with a supercharged power: he can see the magic and mechanics of every mechbeast, right down to their origins! Here’s the catch: the ancient conqueror who once had this power wants it back, and he’s bringing an army of terrifying mechbeasts to take it. To survive, Jethro must build an army of his own, starting from his powerless frail lizard. But can a pest-control pet (and its rookie human) save the world? Let’s hope so, because our dear world of Nebulon desperately needs saving!

When one evening Terry, goes to sleep after the argument with his parents, he is awakened by the knocks on the door, and receives a letter that his whole life will change from now on.

Four hundred years ago, a man named Vasilus stole a crown and drowned an empire in blood. When he finally died stabbed by on hairpin of a woman he’d raped the priests said his sins were too great for hell alone to deal with. So his descendants would pay. That’s how it started. One cursed bloodline. Then thousands. Then millions. We’re called the Tainted Ones now. Branded at birth. Hated by law. I’m 06/50. I don’t have a name. My sister was all I had. Then she was raped and killed like her life meant nothing. When I asked for justice, they nearly beat me to death. So I ran. I made it to Nalara, where I could finally breathe. Where no one looked at me like filth. But Sanctem is still standing. And they’re still killing. Even if I die for it, I have to fight for my future — and the future of those after me. How do you fight a future that’s already branded you worthless?

[This book is complete] Everyone is playing a regal game. Everyone except Lucia (who probably should). After her father faced accusations of trying to seize the throne from his father and king, he was exiled along with his family. They were no longer royalty, but his wife would not have it. She was friends with the queen of Vershia and used that to her advantage. Her two older daughters were the right age to marry the two princes, and she would make that happen come what may. That became a problem when the oldest daughter was ignored by the crown prince, who formed a friendship with the youngest of the girls. There was still hope; Lucia could become the future queen. But Lucia was not groomed for this role. She did not want to live for the type of marriage she could snag. She did not want to take the man who had been planned for her sister. But that’s the thing with plans, isn’t it? She never planned to fall in love with the man, and there she was: an unwilling participant in the regal games. Would she capture the crown? How would everything affect her relationship with her sister? Was there ever pleasing her mother? [WSA 2024 Entry]
