Glass Shards Fear And Hunger

Shard Of Sight

In a world where power is determined by the eyes, the strongest are revered, while those without powers are left to fend for themselves. At the age of ten or eleven, most children awaken their abilities, but for Adrian Clarke, the world of magic and strength remains forever out of reach. Adrian is an introverted, highly intelligent high school student who has spent most of his life hiding behind books, avoiding the bullying he faces for being "powerless." While his mind excels, his lack of any tangible power makes him a target for his peers, and his friends, Lucas and Nova, are his only source of protection. Lucas, with his Light Eyes, and Nova, with her Dark Eyes, are both gifted with Unique Class abilities—powers that only one person per continent can possess. Together, they’ve always kept Adrian safe, but even their formidable powers can’t protect him from the whispers and sneers that follow him everywhere. Despite his position as an outcast, Adrian is not without strength. His analytical mind allows him to outwit bullies and navigate the complexities of high school life. But the nagging question remains: why does he have no power? Why has he been forsaken by the very system that praises the strong and the gifted? As Adrian struggles to find his place in a world that values power above all else, he learns that fate has a strange way of turning things around. When an unforeseen event awakens a mysterious force within him, Adrian’s life is turned upside down. What was once a world of helplessness and rejection suddenly becomes a world of possibilities—possibilities that may come at a steep price. Shard of Sight is a journey of self-discovery, friendship, and the exploration of power—both external and internal. As Adrian and his friends uncover secrets about their world, they must confront not only their own fears and limitations but also the dark truths that lie beneath the surface of their seemingly perfect society.

Born of fire and hunger

In the greater part of human kind there resides an instinct for survival. It is this which can clutch at straws and affect a rescue from them. It is this which can, now and then, outwit fate : Tanith Lee There are moments in life when you don't know what to do. Some of these moments can be good, like when a father holds his first newborn baby for the first time and realises he has no idea what to do. Or when somoene who has worked his entire life without stop finally retires and doesn't know what to do with his free time cause he's never had any. An then there's me, somoene about to have possibly the first of many so called "worst day of my life" as I stare at what is most likely a death sentence. You see for contexe, the world I am in is a little strange. Before you make any assumptions, this isn't an isekai where I get whisked off to some fantasy world to fixe some other peoples problems. At least not completely. The world I am in is strange in the fact that about 75 years ago, give or take one or two, a massive portion of the population vanished without a trace. Freaky I know, but not as freaky as when they came back and brought with them "magic". The laws of physics seemed useless and easy to ignore for these people. They could do incredible things. Flying through the air at unimaginable speeds, shooting fire from their fingers, moving mountains with their power. Even freezing time was within their reach. It was safe to say at this point that the world was going to change forever. Now listening to all this you'd probably say, wait Lucien isn't this awesome? Magic powers and all you have to do is dissapear for a while, isn't that a pretty good trade of? And normally you'd be right, but of the approximately 100 million who dissapeared, only 13 million came back. Not very good odds. Those that came back told stories of what they had to do. The trials they had to pass. Now this isn't some tower climbing story like you probably read in those webnovels. Every trial was unique to the person. Some where easy and some landed you in the 83 million that didn't come back. And naturally like any good fantasy story, the great dissapearance, as we came to call it, didn't happen just once. And so my story begins here, in the middle of the road, 75 years after the first great disappearance, staring into dead space. I would guess that the people who saw me would find me weird, after all I was staring at nothing. But I couldn't be bothered with them right now, and the reason was that I was indeed staring at something. Something that would change my fate forever. [Congratulations challenger] [You have been selected for the trial] [You will be transported in 30 seconds] ... Fuck. Author : this novel does have a system but it's not a leveling system, so if that's what you're looking for, this might not be for you.

Shard Breaker: The Shattering

The world was once protected by a barrier known as the Veil. Eighty years ago, the Veil shattered, fracturing reality itself and merging Earth with fragments of otherworldly realms called Shards. These Shards brought untold dangers, treasures, and monsters — but also gave rise to Shardbreakers, individuals who wield the chaotic, unpredictable energy of the Aether to control and battle within the Shards. Yun Tae-Hyun, an unremarkable delivery boy, lives in the neon-lit chaos of Seoul, surrounded by Shardbreakers, rogue traders, and monstrous threats. He has no Aether Mark, no special powers — until one fateful day when a Shardstorm strikes, and an immense Shard crashes into him. The forbidden fragment awakens a forbidden power within him: the ability to distort reality itself. But this power comes at a cost. Tae-Hyun’s newfound abilities — teleportation, dimensional slashes, and gravitational manipulation — are wildly unstable and dangerous. As he grapples with the chaos of his abilities, he attracts the attention of both powerful Clades of Shardbreakers hunting him for his Forbidden Shard and monstrous, mind-bending enemies born from the shards. With the Arbiter, a mysterious figure who claims to be the creator of the Veil, pulling the strings, Tae-Hyun must navigate a fractured world, protect his sick sister Ji-Hye, and decide whether to restore the Veil, which would erase all the Shards — and humanity — or embrace his dangerous powers to forge a new world from the remains. Caught between factions, monsters, and his own spiraling descent into chaos, Tae-Hyun must master his Distortion powers before they consume him — or the world will be consumed instead. --- This is a tale of survival, choice, and the unpredictable consequences of wielding immense power. Shardbreaker promises high-stakes, emotionally driven action with mind-bending combat and a hero who must decide whether saving the world is worth losing himself.
