The Last Guardian of the Real

Lior, a 17-year-old cartographer, is known as "The Eye of the Real," a gift and a curse that allows him to perceive fissures in the fabric of existence. Abandoned at the age of seven by his own family—the "Protectors of Light"—in the Whispering Wastelands, Mael (his birth name, now almost forgotten) was stigmatized by a strange spiral mark on his palm, the manifestation of his connection to the Void. His abandonment was a forced sacrifice due to a forbidden experiment by the Arcons—mage-engineers who control the weave of reality—that fractured the veil between planes. Lior, marked to "seal" these fractures, became trapped on the edges of existence, disconnected from the normal flow of mortals. Armed with the Memory Quill, a stylograph whose inkwell contains ether ink, Lior navigates the fractured realms. With each stroke, the quill allows him to draw reality paths to teleport through cracks and to make his drawings gain temporary consistency. However, each use comes with a devastating price: Lior "forgets" fragments of his own life—memories of his family and his dreams—a sacrifice that pains him more than nothingness itself. His internal conflict centers on this painful paradox: he must sacrifice his past to save reality, but fears losing himself in the process. His mission is clear and desperate: the nothingness, a primordial force that feeds on dissolution, is consuming the realms at an alarming rate. To stop this collapse, Lior must infiltrate the Wandering Tower, a flying fortress of the Arcons that peregrinates over the fractured realms. His objective is to steal the Heart of the Real, a living crystal that anchors and sustains all existence. In his journey, Lior faces the Ethereal Guardians, manifestations of the Void that pursue those who dare to defy nothingness. His ability as "The Eye of the Real" allows him to evade them and manipulate his own perception to survive. As he progresses, Lior discovers that the one responsible for the initial fracture is the Archicar, a renegade mage-engineer who now seeks to extract the Heart of the Real to rewrite reality in his image, creating a new order under his control. The infiltration of the Wandering Tower is a test of ingenuity and sacrifice. Lior must navigate the Arcons' arcane defenses, confront their creations, and finally, confront the Archicar. During this confrontation, Lior is forced to use the Memory Quill in increasingly extreme ways, losing crucial memories and battling the Song of the Void, the constant hum of nothingness that threatens to consume his mind. In the climax, Lior must make a heartbreaking decision: will he sacrifice his last cherished memory to gain the power needed to stop the Archicar and restore the Heart of the Real? The battle is not only for the existence of the realms but for Lior's own identity. In the end, he manages to stop the Archicar and stabilize the Heart of the Real, but the price is immense. Reality begins to heal, the cracks slowly close, and the fractured realms find a new balance. Lior, now a true "guardian of the real," has saved existence, but his mind is a blurred canvas of lost memories. However, the scar on his palm, his connection to the Void, is no longer a stigma of abandonment, but a symbol of his sacrifice and purpose. He has found new meaning in his existence in protecting the realms, accepting that, although abandoned by his past, he has forged a future for all. His journey as the last guardian continues, navigating the edges of reality, always vigilant against the threat of the Void.

The Otaku's Odyssey: Reincarnated with a Grand System

WSA Entry* *** Alex, born into the illustrious and undeniably gifted Smith family, was a stark anomaly. While his siblings excelled in everything from music to sports, h e was a blank canvas, utterly talentless. This ostracized him, making him a target for his family's disdain and bullying from his classmates. Finding solace only in the world of anime, Alex retreated into his room, spending days in a state of squalor, fueled by ramen and the fantasy worlds on his screen. One day, while attempting to microwave a plastic container filled with ramen (because even basic kitchen skills were beyond him), the microwave exploded, turning Alex's room into a scene of hilarious destruction. Instead of dying tragically, he finds himself resurrected…in the anime he loved the most, "Swords and Sorcery," a fantastical world brimming with magic and adventure. As Alex, now a fresh-faced young adventurer in this new world, he discovers he can wield the powers of any character from any anime he's ever watched. Suddenly, his days of being mocked for his lack of talent are a distant memory. He can summon the mystical powers of a powerful wizard, the strength of a legendary warrior, or the agility of a skilled ninja. He even discovers he can tap into the magical abilities of characters from lesser-known anime, like a charming witch from a forgotten shoujo series or a cunning strategist from a tactical mecha anime. Armed with his vast anime knowledge and newfound abilities, Alex embarks on a life of self-discovery and adventure. He'll navigate the complexities of this magical world, forge alliances with unlikely heroes, and face off against powerful foes, all while striving to prove his worth and overcome the trauma of his past. But as he dives deeper into this fantastical world, he'll face a new challenge: can he learn to be happy and find his place in this world, free from the shadow of his former life? *** "HAHAHAHAHA! All those useless Isekai animes animes I watched was not for waste after all...Stupid old man! Why don't you laugh at this?"

[From the stories of Azuden0, Volume 3. Revelation, the Downfall. Chapter 2, Darkness's Uprising.] Achan Allare has spent his life running from his father’s legacy. A man once revered as the greatest Babaylan, a Spiritual Healer, whose supposed miracles once inspired awe. But Achan knows the truth: his father was no miracle worker. The power that once made him legendary had long since withered, tainted by the abuse of such power. Yet, unwilling to let go of his status, his father continued the illusion by using him. Forced into the role of a vessel, Achan became the façade of his father’s failing power, paraded before desperate souls who clung to false hope. And when the deception finally caught up with them, it cost his father his life. Now, Achan lives a quiet, ordinary existence- free from superstition, free from manipulation. Until they come. An influential family, desperate enough to believe. Taken against his will, Achan is thrust into a world he vowed to leave behind, commanded to take his father’s place and restore the health of their company’s sole heir. He refuses. He knows the cost of deception, knows the ruin that comes from clinging to fading miracles. But when he uncovers the truth behind their illness- a Curse that shouldn’t exist, that spreads suffering beyond its victims. He finds himself unable to turn away. With his freedom slipping through his fingers, Achan faces an impossible choice: fight against the truth he never wanted to reveal or embrace the very deception that destroyed his father- before it destroys him too. Bound to the heir through forces beyond his control, he must unravel dark secrets, confront the specter of his father’s past, and decide whether to wield a power he never asked for. But with danger lurking in the shadows, the question remains. Will he escape, or has he already been claimed by the legacy he tried to outrun?

The Bharat Legacy

The Bharat Legacy **Genre:** Adventure, Historical Fiction, Mystery **Synopsis:** "The Bharat Legacy" follows the journey of Amit, a 30-year-old IT professional from Patna, who is passionate about adventure, historical exploration, and uncovering ancient mysteries. By day, Amit works in the shadows of the IT department, handling complex tasks discreetly and efficiently. By night, he dreams of uncovering the secrets of India's rich past. One night, Amit has a vivid dream about discovering the legendary Kawach and Kundal of Karna, the great warrior from the Mahabharata, hidden in a cave near Anga Raj (modern-day Bhagalpur). The dream ignites a burning curiosity within him, pushing him to embark on an extraordinary quest to find these ancient relics and uncover their lost knowledge. As Amit delves deeper into his investigation, he encounters a series of cryptic clues and meets intriguing characters, including historians, archaeologists, and local villagers, each holding pieces of the puzzle. His journey takes him to ancient temples, forgotten ruins, and mystical landscapes, where he must decipher age-old secrets and navigate treacherous paths. Throughout his quest, Amit faces numerous challenges and dangers, but his unwavering determination and passion for history drive him forward. Along the way, he learns about the true significance of the Kawach and Kundal, not just as physical artifacts but as symbols of courage, sacrifice, and wisdom. Nayantara: She was a whisper in the biting Himalayan wind, a stark white anomaly against the desolate canvas of snow and ash. Nayantara moved with a grace that defied the treacherous terrain, a fluid, almost ethereal descent from the ridge that spoke of training beyond mortal limits. Clad in a flowing white dress, edged with the shimmer of intricate golden patterns, she appeared less a creature of flesh and blood and more a spectral guardian of the frozen heights. A stylized golden motif blazed upon her back, catching the weak sunlight like an otherworldly sigil. Her face remained an enigma, concealed behind a white cloth, leaving only two piercing eyes to observe the ravaged landscape with an unnerving intensity. In those eyes, one could glimpse a sharp focus, a depth of understanding that hinted at abilities far beyond the conventional, a power she herself referred to as her "special eyes." She was a solitary figure, a silent operative, moving with purpose and an unspoken connection to forces unseen. Her very presence in this desolate place suggested a mission of profound importance, a delicate probe into the heart of a devastating mystery.

Into The Neverwhere

After millennia of waiting, their tongues had yearned for the flavour of earth. Hymns from the dark ages and stories about the gods have clambered into the twenty-first century. The plains were inhabited by gods and the paranormal long before light touched the earth. Stories of power and mountains were created as their limbs dragged across the terrain. Like a virus on a canvas, their fear spread throughout society. However, all stories. Must come to an end. Humans forgot, the gods aged, and time went by. Their stories were eventually recited by midwives to frighten children; their voices had reverberated into the void that had swallowed them up. The years went by like brushstrokes. Humanity had reached its pinnacle, or so they believed. One fateful day, the gods made their way back to the twenty-first century. The rich, opiate-like smell of blood and fear filled their nostrils. Like seeds of evil, they were sprayed out of the abyss that had swallowed them. It was on this day that people saw the tales they believed their grandparents had scattered. However, there were also people like Shinjiro Yurei among the terror. Who had nothing to lose. It is the laws of fate that create stories. Follow Shinjiro as he travels to the abyss they refer to as "The Neverwhere," a story about a boy who has a promise. Will he be able to bring his sister back to life and fulfil a long-forgotten promise, or will he fall apart and disappear like historical dust?

Blue Paint

"Hey, want to be reincarnated?" It all started with that simple question, sure it wasn't said exactly in that way or context but it's all the same, the events remained the same... and so did its effects, its effects on both her story and on herself. Mysterious beings sending people across the many worlds through a cafe and their strange sense of doing things have brought her into an experience that she would either regret experiencing or look back on as necessary suffering.

The people there despised her existence, they wished for her pain, her suffering, her death... Throughout many years of pain and suffering, she still found a way to come out on top, she found a way to prove her existence ignoring all that was done to her and said about her.

Legend Of The Divergent

In a world where Stars choose their champions, what happens when the Stars stay silent? On the continent of Aurora, power is everything—and power comes from the Stars. Through blood, discipline, and the sacred Stellaris Path, cultivators ascend by forging bonds with celestial forces—either Elemental or Conceptual—unlocking abilities capable of bending fire, warping time, or even tearing apart reality itself. From noble houses to imperial courts, one’s worth is measured in starlight. But not all are chosen. Kalel D. Ashborn, the youngest son of a mid-tier noble house, was expected to awaken early—expected to shine. Instead, he was abandoned by the very power that defines his world. At his Awakening Rite, his core burned white—silent, empty, and cold. No flare. No resonance. No star. To his family, he is a disgrace. To his empire, a footnote. To himself, a mystery. What no one knows—not even Kalel—is that his white core is not emptiness, but the slumbering Origin Star—the source of all celestial power, forgotten by time and hidden from fate. With it, he does not merely bond with a single element—he holds the potential to wield all twenty. Fire and shadow. Time and death. Order and chaos. But power of this scale demands a price. Cast aside, exiled, and hunted, Kalel must walk a path forged in pain and isolation. Through haunted ruins, shattered kingdoms, and into the very skies where the four great Academies drift among the clouds, he will learn to seize the strength no one offered him—and carve a new name into the firmament. As empires prepare for war and ancient myths stir from slumber, one boy will rise from nothing. Not chosen by the stars. Beyond them. “To be born empty is not a curse it’s a blank canvas.”
