Thops Barrier

Utopian System

"Mana to breathe, mana to eat, mana to fucking live," Inhale: -0.001 MP… oops! You're out of mana points. (Pay-to-breathe RPG.) Humanity's last walled stronghold. _____ In the world Elio lives, every gasp of air comes at a price. A floating indestructible book for every human, a magical system that turns survival into a pay-to-breathe RPG. Here, poverty isn't just being broke, it's choking. Surrounded by barren land and a sea of monsters on top of it (No water, just literal monsters), each day is a suffocating dance of survival, a balancing act between mana for air and mana for food. In this economy, holding your breath isn't just a game, it's a retirement plan. Driven by desperation (and the city's miserly rulers that don’t cut anyone a break), Elio dives into the Book System’s trials to save his family. Along the way, he unlocks powers he didn’t ask for and starts to figure out... Who he really is. Immerse yourself in an adventure where one young man's stubborn refusal to become a statistic could spark a revolution. Who knew being a pain in the system's rear could change the world? Because in Elio's world, breathing is just the beginning of the revolution and... he's gasping for change. But hey, who said saving the world had to be all doom and gloom? Join Elio as he kicks monster butt, uncovers ancient secrets, and maybe, just maybe, figures out how to grow a tree or two along the way. __________ Warning: May contain traces of world domination, an unhealthy obsession with the periodic table, damage points, progression math, and yes, even a sprinkle of that old "power of friendship" magic. Because sometimes, you need a buddy to help you remember which element does what or even help you calculate those sweet, sweet stats. A quick heads-up: Despite what the cover might suggest, this isn’t a hack-and-slash adventure. Think more along the lines of a turn-based RPG, where strategy and choices matter as much as action. Get ready for a different kind of challenge! If you want to know more about the cover: Yep, that's our first FL crying and crossing the transparent barrier straight into a pixelated, indistinguishable sea of monsters. Because why not mix emotions with chaos? She's crazy like that! (Not really... or is she?) Discord to check the visuals: https://discord.gg/W3CjfC2cw4 I’m still working on it in the little moments I find between writing, editing, making more character images, etc. Little by little, we’ll have a Poked... uh, a full SummonDex! Meanwhile, you can check out the ones on Fandom with their... funny descriptions? Or at least I hope so... orz __________ Happy New Year! I just wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for all your incredible support. This journey wouldn’t be the same without each of you, and I’m beyond thankful to have you here. May this new year bring you joy, success, and all the things you’re hoping for. Here’s to a brighter future! Thank you for being part of this story. Cheers to 2025! Thank you so much for reading!

OBSIDIAN RIFT

In a broken world where survival hangs by a thread, Dunmore’s protective dome is the only barrier that stands between its people and the chaos outside. For decades, it has held firm, but with every spark of the crystal of the goddess Ilona, fear spreads that the end of humanity's last stand is nigh. Aric, a young defiant Vanguard warrior, has always been trained to protect Dunmore from demonic assaults but when rumors spread of the Aetherion; a sentient artifact of great power that vanished over two decades ago, he’s thrust into a conflict that extends far beyond his city’s walls. Aric must venture into the unknown, only to find that the world beyond the dome is far more dangerous and fractured than he imagined. The gods begin to resurface, in a bid to delay their inevitable downfall, turning their attention toward the mortals, hoping to manipulate humanity to reclaim what they had lost. However, alliances between gods and mortals are fragile, and as the search for the Aetherion increases, betrayal and ambition threaten to turn allies into enemies. The battle for survival is no longer just about Dunmore, it's about preventing the end of the world. Blood will be spilled, of both gods and mortals, as the lines between savior and destroyer blur. As faith weakens and power corrupts, Aric will be forced to confront the truth: sometimes, the greatest threats come from those sworn to protect. This is a tale of desperation and betrayal, where gods and mortals collide in a race against time. But in the search for salvation, will they find only destruction?

The Outcast: The Shadow of The Wall

"As the Supreme Commander of The Wall, my duty is clear: to hold back the threats from the south—mutant monsters, ogres, cyclops, or... hopefully not... the return of the orcs. The kings and lords of Middle Earth do not care. To them, we are just a bunch of 'Outcasts,' exiled criminals and soldiers pushed to the margins. That’s fine. It's better if they stay out of our way. Corrupt politicians rarely care about real security." He looks down at the Outcast barracks below, where the central headquarters commands the entire Wall, separating the south from the main continent. Wisps of smoke rise from the kitchens, carrying the scent of salty, stale soup. The Outcasts atone for their sins or suppress their grief through dangerous missions in exchange for a few gold coins, following the rigorous standards set long ago. Such is life at The Wall. "I, Oldman, am not a religious man. But I interpret the legacy of past eras as a reminder: The world has never truly been at peace. The evil forces of all ages—fragments, orcs, or dragons—will always lurk. Humans, dwarves, elves, whoever they may be, could end up killing each other, driven by cunning deceit. And now, the only barrier holding back the southern threat is The Wall... and us, the Outcasts. Perhaps history will remember us as nameless heroes, or perhaps it will forget us. But as long as I stand here, I will not allow the monsters from the south and other darknesses to spread across the continent again." "I am Oldman... In a world that has cast us out, we stand amidst the darkness. We have no land, no name, only this path. We are the shadows behind this wall. We are the forgotten guardians of the world. We are the Outcasts, and we will endure, or die on our path."

The Echo of a False Hero

The Veilstone once shielded the world from a converging dimension teeming with horrors—creatures of unexplainable terror, shaped by fragmented myths and forgotten folklore, each taking on different interpretations across time. But when the Veilstone shattered thousands of years ago, the barrier collapsed. Perhaps out of desperation—if it was even capable of such a thing—it chose Heroes before its final destruction. Six divine classes emerged, wielding power strong enough to hold back the Void... but only for a time. As the rifts grew stronger and the world descended into chaos, heroes and humans alike fell before the Voidborne. Until they discovered the power of Voidshards—the cores of these eldritch beings. By transferring these shards into themselves, warriors gained monstrous abilities beyond human comprehension, tied to the creature they had slain. But there was a cost. Those without the blessing of Heroic Sigils, unprotected from corruption, slowly lost their minds—warping into the very Voidborne they once fought. And thus, the cycle of slaughter and transformation continued. Elias was not born a hero. He awakened with no past, wandering a dying world in search of memories he couldn’t grasp. But when a fateful encounter with a Voidborne and the fanatical Ashborn Clan drags him into a battle far beyond his understanding, his struggle for survival becomes something far greater. In a war where men turn to monsters, and gods remain silent, Elias must forge his own path—or be consumed by the very darkness that seeks to claim him.

Spatial Supremacy

Five thousand years after the arrival of the light poles that divided the human and demon races, the barrier provided by them suddenly began to grow weak. This made it possible for the demons to momentarily cross over to the human side, reigniting the war between the two races. The demons thought they could easily overpower the humans just like they did five thousand years ago, unaware that things were different this time. Catching the demons off guard, the humans were able to get the upper hand this time, punishing the demons for underestimating them. However, things did not end there as the war carried on for centuries with the demons now taking them seriously. It has now been ten thousand years since the light poles appeared on earth and the war between both sides was still ongoing. Both sides were quite desperate to override the other, but with their strength being almost equally matched, it wasn't an easy feat for either side. However, the humans were aware that they were the side with more losses, and their strength was showing signs of diminishing. To make sure the world in which their families lived was safe, a lot of people would leave for the frontline never to be seen or heard from again. This was the case with Erian Slade who saw his father leave when he was just five years old, never to be seen or heard from again. Unable to get a satisfactory answer from his mother about his father's whereabouts, Erian decided to go find his father himself. However, finding his old man was easier said than done, there were steps that he had to complete first. One of the steps was getting into one of the most prestigious academies in the world known for only training gifted and talented people. Somewhat talented he was but being gifted was something far from him. While his mates had broken through level ten and were heading to fifteen he was still stuck at nine with little hope of breaking through.

LUCKY 21

Thank you for checking out this novel! I'm excited to share that it will soon have a manhwa webtoon adaptation. Please be sure to visit and support the webtoon by voting—your support means the world! Blood pooled across the floor, the sharp metallic scent mixing with the stifling air. Their teacher’s lifeless body lay crumpled, a gaping hole where his forehead had been. The entire class stood frozen, paralyzed by fear as the strange, unfeeling object hovered, its crimson sensor scanning the room like a predator sizing up its prey. Jin Dalle’s heart thundered in her chest, her trembling hands gripping the edge of her desk as her wide, terrified eyes darted toward the window. Above the school, it loomed—a machine neither bird nor beast, its cold, metallic surface glinting in the sunlight. Then, like a curtain of despair, an impenetrable barrier encased the campus, a shimmering dome stretching across the horizon. A cold, mechanical voice pierced the silence: "Commencing Operation REJUVENATION. Initiative 21—status: green. Attention: all humans in Zone 1 (Paradisus). Only two subjects will be permitted to exit the dome alive. Any attempt to escape will result in immediate incineration. T-minus 1,260 seconds to initiation." Panic erupted as the weight of the announcement settled. This was no test, no cruel joke. It was survival—an unspeakable game of life and death. Jin’s knees buckled under the pressure. She couldn’t kill. How could she? But survival demanded more than resolve; it demanded blood. Beside her stood Choi Minhee, her expression cold, her resolve sharper than a blade. Minhee didn’t flinch at the thought of taking a life—she would do whatever it took to survive, even if it meant staining her hands red. Together, they must navigate the abyss of betrayal, desperation, and despair. Trust is fragile, and hope is fleeting. As the dome becomes their battlefield, only two truths remain: death lurks in every shadow, and luck, that fickle mistress, could be their savior—or their undoing. Jin and Minhee must fight through hell, clinging to their wits, their instincts, and the faint, fragile thread of fortune. In a world where survival comes at the cost of humanity, who will be left standing when the dome finally falls?
