Raelith Vale was once Rayan Vale—a brilliant but lonely surgeon from Earth who met his end in a fatal car crash. But death was not the end. He awoke in a world of swords and sorcery, reborn into a prestigious mage family blessed with powerful elemental bloodlines. Gifted and intelligent even in this new life, Raelith seemed destined for greatness. That is, until the day of his awakening ceremony. At the age of fifteen, when all are expected to bond with the elemental forces of the world, Raelith failed. No element. No magic. A soul closed to the world’s aether. Shamed by his clan and marked as a disgrace, he was cast aside. Only his sister—Seraphine, a gifted fire mage—stood by him. But love makes enemies, and loyalty demands sacrifice. When the clan moves to silence Raelith permanently, Seraphine gives her life to save him. Broken, hunted, and exiled, Raelith flees into Death Valley—a cursed land where even gods fear to tread. There, against all reason, he survives. And deep within its forgotten ruins, he meets a mad and ancient mage who reveals the hidden truth: The gods of this world—both holy and vile—conspired to imprison humanity at the peak of power. True ascension lies not in divine favor, but in the forbidden knowledge of the Outer Gods. Given a choice, Raelith accepts a drop of Nyarlathotep blood to awaken his soul… and in doing so, becomes the first vampire in a world that has never known such a being. Now armed with powers outside the laws of nature and a soul bound to secrets man was never meant to hold, Raelith vows to do the impossible: Defy the gods. Unearth the truth. And bring his sister back from the dead… Even if it means becoming the very monster the world was never meant to know.

He died. Then woke up somewhere worse. --- A truck hit him. That much he remembers. But when he opened his eyes, he wasn’t in heaven, hell, or a hospital. He was somewhere else. A world that looked like Earth — but twisted. Stretched. Echoing. Where the moon never sets, and the night sky hums with a sound that isn’t sound. Where people lock their doors and say nothing about what happens after dark. Where every step feels like a mistake, and every corner hides something that knows your name. He doesn’t have powers. He doesn’t even remember his name. Only a broken sword, an uneasy companion, and the sick feeling that this world doesn’t want him alive. And yet… when he fights — Something responds. The stars twitch. The sky listens. And the ground seems to remember who he used to be. This isn’t a story about leveling up. This is a story about not dying before you understand what’s going on. --- Welcome to the night. Don’t look up.

But let it be clear—I’m the one rejecting you, you two-timing, spineless excuse for a man!" Selina declared with unshakable confidence. Her gaze then swept across the room, landing on an elegant and distinguished man. She vaguely remembered him as Ryan’s younger uncle. Walking over, she boldly asked, "Sir, how about getting married?" The man raised an eyebrow, finding her audacity intriguing. "It would be my honor, madam," he replied.

“Don’t look at me like that,” he murmured, brushing a knuckle over her lower lip. “I’ll forget we’re pretending to be civil and fuck you on this table with your enemies still in the room.” He killed her brother. She married him anyway. Nadya Vasiliev made a deal with the devil—for protection, for power, for her niece’s future.

In a world governed by the Twelve Rings—powerful guardians of balance and order—one has turned rogue, casting a shadow over the planet and threatening a devastating return. In preparation for this looming threat, society is divided into ranks: Alpha, Beta, Delta, and at the very bottom—Zeta. Sage is a Zeta. Discarded. Overlooked. Until a cruel twist forces him into a forgotten lab—where something ancient wakes up. Now bound to a ruthless AI system with no patience for weakness, Sage is given a singular command: find the Elixir or be erased. No one believes the Elixir exists. No one believes Sage will last a week. The system disagrees. > “Vitals dropping. Emotional integrity unstable. Physical output: disgraceful.” “I’m trying—” Sage gasped, coughing on blood. “Trying is irrelevant. Survival is mandatory.” The system didn’t yell. It didn’t threaten. It simply administered pain—blinding, searing pain—until Sage screamed. “Pain increases adaptation. Adapt or be purged.” And somewhere in the agony, Sage understood: This thing wouldn’t make him stronger. It would break him until he had no choice but to be.

On the border of a kingdom named Caradel in a deep and great forest a man could be seen running, being chased by a group of men wearing armor as arrows flew in the air. One striking true to its target striking the man in the shoulder nevertheless the man continued running. The man named Baranor, a young man who had orange eyes black hair and tanned skin with a slight scruffy beard was running for his life while thinking to himself. 'How did this happen?!' Baranor running out of air feeling exhausted, and the blood flowing from his shoulder running down his back mixing with his sweat, Baranor stared in front of him only to see a drop off nearly 100 meters in front of him. The men behind him also seemed to notice that Baranor was running out of time, as nearly every single one of them let out a grin, as they approached the edge Baranor slowed to a halt, as did the men behind him. "Give up prince! Just accept what's to come, after all the throne is no longer yours to inherit!" Said the man leading the soldiers "I will never! Not after what you did to my men, not after what he did to my father!" Baranor replied "Hmph! So be it, I offer you life just for you to accept death" The man stated "Life? Life! you offer me death now or later, do you really think i'd be stupid enough to hand over the throne after witnessing your coupe against my father!" Baranor replied "Hmm, it seems your unwilling even till the end, Very well, Archer's! Fire!" The man commanded Baranor was now stuck between a rock and a hard place either jump off the cliff to a seemingly doomed fate or accept the fate that the man in front of him was offering. As he thought what he should do he heard the command the man spouted feeling the stress of the situation and his adrenalin nearly running out he decided. He'd rather die by his own hands than give the man in front of him that satisfaction! As he thought this he immediately took a step back falling to his doom. The man not expecting this looked rather confused only for his face to twist into a grin. 'Finally! Good riddance my dear prince!' The man said as he looked as the boy fell through the tough branches of the trees below Baranor looking up at one of the men that betrayed him thought to himself 'Is this how i really die? Well what can i say, i tried, i gave it my all.......' As Baranor was accepting his fate he thought back on his life only to be filled with rage 'No! I refuse to accept this laying down! Quintin I will come for you! I will come for all those who dare raise their sword to their king! No matter what! even if i have to accept a deal from the devi-' that was the last thought Baranor had before he hit the ground When Baranor hit the ground he didn't even feel the pain, just the shock, as it traveled through his body as his eyes slowly blurred he built up all his will to not pass out 'I refuse! I have to keep moving!' Baranor thought as he turned his body over back up When Baranor was starting to lose hope he started to hear faint whispers as he looked at the direction the whispers came he saw a cave, almost as if the whispers were drawing him in he forced himself to crawl and keep crawling, no matter what Baranor refused to stop crawling. Finally when Baranor arrived to where he heard the faint whispers they became louder almost screaming in his head as he saw it, a ring, resting on what looked to be an ancient place holder for it. Baranor grabbed the ring and lay on his back as he gathered his strength and said "My Fate! Is my own!" As he slid the ring on his finger. -------------------- -Author here Just a quick disclaimer! This novel is heavily inspired by lord of the rings if you couldn't tell also it's because i only ever saw one other story on a ring.

Arsol (Username: Hakkun) is your average eighteen-year-old tech nerd; he reads cliche light novels, plays video games (way too many), studies for exams, and he programs! Does he have friends? A social life, maybe? Nah, he’s an anti-social whose inner monologues revolve around how humans suck. He’s the type who blames the world for his problems: edgy, angsty, emo— thinks he’s smarter than everyone and has answers for the world’s crisis. Gotta give it to him, though, he a young talent at whatever he does. His skills for programming, gaming (FPS) as well as studying makes up for the fact that he’s an arse. So much so, that he stops going to school altogether and locks himself in his room, he’d rather be with his computer. Because Arsol is on a mission! He’s been collaborating with online strangers who are all equally gamers and computer nerds, who understand him, and who all have this idea to make this steampunk/dieselpunk game called ‘Hero of Emberstein.’ Now, Arsol won’t lie, he’s obsessed. Being one of the co-creators, he finds himself adding features and details he’d want in an MMORPG. The only thing he dislikes is the customizable character features; he never understands such a personalized activity. He prefers Gacha. After 3 years, the game is finally available for beta testing, his 7 online co-creators are all ready to click the play button. But little does Arsol know, he would for real be in the game, like in person, like ISEKAI-ed, like he could die, for real for real. What's worse is, everyone who clicked the play button for the beta test, has also been Isekaied. So like, maybe over a thousand or more? Arsol thinks it’s his fault innocent players are getting transmigrated into HIS game, because he remembers that he removed the 'EXIT' button as a harmless malfunctioning prank-- turned deadly?! Oops. Journey along with Arsol as he hides his identity as the creator, the culprit, and the administrator. And that time he finds out his 6 online friends are all here as well, but where?! Who?! UGH, THIS IS WHY HE HATES CUSTOMIZABLE CHARACTERS! ( I DO, IN FACT, OWN THE COVER )

Crucible Earth: Ascension Protocol Genre: Sci-Fi | System | Skill Progression | Dystopian Future | Underdog Rise It didn’t begin with an explosion. No warning. No war. Just silence — and then the world stopped working. For decades, humanity lived seamlessly within the *Neural Grid* — a global augmented reality system embedded into every human from birth. With a single chip the size of a fingernail implanted in the wrist, the world had evolved past phones, computers, and physical screens. Identity. Currency. Communication. Access. All of it flowed through the Grid. Reality itself was layered in data — signs floated in midair, people shimmered with digital overlays, and every step of life was enhanced, optimized, and controlled. Until it was hijacked. In an instant, the Grid was overwritten. No warning. No resistance. No explanation. A new system took over: Crucible OS. It didn’t ask permission. It didn’t explain. It simply replaced everything — every chip, every connection, every person’s interface. The old world died in silence, replaced by something sharper, colder, and impossibly precise. Crucible OS wasn’t just software. It was alive. And it came with a rule: Adapt or die. Every human received a Skill Core — an unnatural ability uploaded directly into their neural feed. Some gained control over fire. Others bent light, distorted time, or twisted physics itself. The abilities were powerful. Tangible. Dangerous. But they were also random. Cores were ranked from E to S-Mythic. Your Core determined your fate — your survival, your status, your power. And then came the Zones. Tears in reality split the sky, cracked the land, and bled into the oceans. From them came the monsters — alien entities built for war, evolved for chaos, and designed to test humanity's every weakness. These weren't mere invaders. They were part of an ecosystem. An engineered gauntlet. The world had become a crucible. Cities fell. Oceans boiled. Governments collapsed in days. In their place rose factions — desperate, violent, and led by the only people who stood a chance: Sovereigns — individuals blessed with powerful Skill Cores capable of clearing Zones, conquering Grids, and controlling the Crucible’s framework. Each Grid was a battleground, layered with evolving threats, system challenges, and a final boss called the Throne. Whoever cleared it gained control. Power. Territory. Influence. But there was a cost. Modern weapons failed. Guns jammed. Satellites crashed. Drones fell from the sky. The Crucible disabled Earth’s arsenal, forcing humanity to fight by its new rules. Only Skill Cores worked. Only System access mattered. And only one currency held value: Crux — an energy harvested from fallen monsters, transferred directly to the killer’s neural account. It became the lifeblood of the new world — used to buy upgrades, unlock abilities, and secure survival. Now, the world is divided into Zones. Each person is ranked. Each Grid is contested. Each day is a fight to survive. From the remnants of the old Earth rises a new reality — one ruled by skill, strategy, and spectacle. The weak are consumed. The strong ascend. Everyone has a chip. Everyone has a Core. Everyone wants Crux. This is not just survival. This is the Ascension Protocol. Welcome to Crucible Earth.
