In front of a crowd, the classic "broken engagement" trope unfolded. Gu Feng smiled faintly and took out a golden abacus. "That certain someone, I don’t mind you breaking off the engagement. However, you’ll have to pay me compensation." "At three years and one month old, I secretly fed you a piece of jerky. The meat itself wasn’t worth much, but the seasoning on it was expensive—100 spirit stones." "At three years and two months old, I gave you a wooden knife. This blade was carved over ten years by a master craftsman—1,000 spirit stones." "..." "On top of that, you also owe me compensation for emotional damages over the past 15 years and the next 10,000 years, totaling..." "And for those times I kissed you..." --- Support me on www.patreon.com/c/AnubisTL and Read Ahead!

The Balance of Flame and Stone By BadRhitzu Born beneath the blood-colored Spiral Moon during the fabled Crimson Eclipse, twin siblings Yvonne and Kaizen entered the world as miracles or threats. Yvonne was flame incarnate, a wielder of impossible magic tied to soul and memory. Kaizen, he’s elder by mere breaths, possessed inhuman strength and a mind untouched by magic, yet bound to the earth like a living monolith. Their very existence tilted the balance of the world. To prevent catastrophe, the ancient Watchers cast six Veils of Suppression over the newborns binding their true selves, fragmenting their memories, and hiding the past lives they once lived as Ashweaver and Kael’Vorr, the legendary Veilborn. Seventeen years later, the world stirs once more. When an unseen room reveals itself deep within the fortress-city of Vaelcrest, the twins begin a slow and irreversible unraveling. As one Veil cracks, then another, the siblings must face not external monsters first but the suppressed truths of who they really are. Their powers return not through brute force, but through emotional reckoning: grief, forgiveness, rage, love, and sacrifice. Each Veil they shatter awakens something more ancient and more dangerous. Now hunted by the very Watchers who once swore to protect them, Yvonne and Kaizen journey across forgotten lands, into flame deserts, stone labyrinths, and across time-echoing ruins, seeking answers buried beneath their own skin. But some memories were hidden for a reason. And as the final Veil trembles, the Spiral Moon bleeds again. Will the twins restore balance to a fractured world? Or will they become the storm that ends it?

Liang Chen was born with nothing—not even a spirit root. In the Emberdust Realm, a forsaken corner of the Lower Thousand Worlds, a child born without a spirit root is no different from a dead stone. Mocked, abandoned, and denied entry into any sect, his fate seemed sealed—until a mysterious black mark appeared on his arm. When a spirit stone touches it, everything changes. > [Upgrade Detected] Item: Broken Sword Upgrade Path: Common → Mortal-Grade Weapon Cost: 1 Spirit Stone With this power, he can upgrade anything: broken weapons, worthless manuals—even his own crippled body. He needs no talent. No spirit root. No blessings. Just stones. From a mortal in a dying village to a storm that will shake the Crimson Crown World, Liang Chen walks a path forged not by destiny... ...but by his own hand, and the stones that obey it.

While others arrive armed with blades, relics, and family crests—he shows up empty-handed. Well, almost. He picks up a stone. Just a shard from a broken floor. Just enough to prove he existed. At fifteen, every child is summoned. No one knows where they go. No one returns the same. Some come back with powers. Most… don’t come back at all. Ezgar isn’t ready. He’s cursed, starving, and abandoned by a world that gave up on him at birth. Whatever this trial is—he wasn’t supposed to survive it. But then again, neither was the last boy who came in with nothing… and rewrote the rules.

On a vast continent where the forces of light and darkness exist in a delicate balance, there lies the legendary Stone of Destiny—the Law Stone. This mysterious gem seals the rift between chaos and order, preserving the balance of the world, and stands as the last relic of the ancient gods. The Stone is both a blessing and a curse: it grants its bearer unparalleled power, yet demands that they bear the heavy burden of safeguarding the world. The story’s heroine, Eleanor, was once an ordinary university student in the 21st century. By a strange twist of fate, she is transported into a novel’s world, where she becomes a gifted yet inwardly fragile apprentice at the prestigious Arcane Academy. A sudden invasion by demonic forces changes her destiny forever. Through a series of coincidences, Eleanor becomes the bearer of the Stone of Destiny, forced to shoulder both the hopes and the curse of an entire world. The Stone’s power rapidly elevates her to one of the most formidable beings in existence—but at the cost of her soul, which begins to succumb to encroaching darkness. Under the threat of the King of the Abyss, the fallen god who leads the demon legions, the world’s order begins to crumble. Once a deity, the Abyss King now seeks to use the Stone’s power to tear apart the barrier between chaos and order, plunging the world into an endless abyss of darkness. Eleanor must choose between destruction and salvation. Beside her stand two men, both drawn into this vortex of destiny: Raynor: her childhood friend and sworn protector, a swordsman of unshakable honor and courage. He believes with all his heart that Eleanor can conquer the darkness, even as she grows more distant and the Stone’s power changes her. No matter what, he remains by her side. Ronquis: the Academy’s coldest and most rational archmage, a master strategist who sees through the essence of all power. He is wary of the disaster the Stone may bring and stands ready to do the unthinkable—end Eleanor’s path if necessary, to preserve the world. As the Stone’s power continues to awaken, Eleanor struggles between light and shadow, love and solitude, freedom and destiny. In the final battle against the King of the Abyss, she fully accepts the Stone’s power, using her will to redefine the true purpose of strength. She shatters the Stone’s curse—that every bearer must be consumed—and chooses to merge her soul with the Stone, becoming the guardian of a new world order. Yet her victory marks only the beginning of a new chapter. The awakening of the Stone sends ripples through the world, stirring ancient gods and long-slumbering powers. Eleanor’s choice becomes the prelude to an even grander epic.

A planet different from Earth, home to a futuristic human civilization. Two million years ago, humanity was almost wiped out by an alien race called the Dreson. Before their downfall, ancient humans sealed a powerful technological system inside a black stone—capable of creating world-altering technology.

In less than a day, I lost my job and got an eviction notice for my apartment. With no better options, I accepted a last-minute position on a university-sponsored archaeological dig in Egypt, hoping to regain some stability before my final year of school. But what began as a practical escape quickly unravels into something far more dangerous, drawing me into a hidden world I was never meant to see.

Fate is not chosen. It is carved. Eiran was never meant to be a hero. Marked by tragedy and burdened by powers he does not understand, he returns to the moment his life was shaped—the day he was forced to accept a path not his own. But when the mysterious Stone of Fate offers him a second chance, Eiran chooses a path whispered only in legends: the Warden, a bearer of all the forgotten truths—and the dangers that come with them. Beside him stands Auralia, a cunning rogue once raised by a deadly cult and now the only person he trusts. As their bond deepens into something more, so too does the shadow threatening to consume them. Hunted by monsters, haunted by gods, and pursued by the echoes of their past, they journey into a land carved by ancient canyons and darker secrets. But fate is not idle. The gods are watching. And in the silence beyond destiny, something has begun to stir. A fallen hero. A stolen prophecy. A world that will burn—or be reborn. Echoes of the Stone is the gripping first chapter in an epic fantasy saga of second chances, divine war, and the cost of rewriting your fate.

A forgotten ring. A last wish. A world waiting to awaken. When his small village in India is ambushed by unknown assailants, young Pralay watches everything he knows fall to fire and ruin. Just before death descends, his grandfather entrusts him with a strange, glowing ring—and one cryptic name: “Find Ahaman.” Flung into the mystical world of Bhoolok-Antar, where ancient powers lie dormant and god-forged stones decide the fate of empires, Pralay must survive among strangers, secrets, and sacred warriors. As he uncovers echoes of a past much larger than his own, a terrifying question looms: What if he was never meant to be ordinary?

Moren Ravenheart was born into wealth, privilege — and chains. Behind the marble halls of Stormhaven, she is nothing more than a pawn: a prize daughter meant to be married off for political power. But Moren is no ordinary heiress. She’s a fighter, a dreamer, and a young woman determined to forge her own path — even if it means burning every bridge behind her. When a mysterious Archfey answers her desperate pleas, Moren is offered a pact of power and freedom — but at a cost. As the gilded cage of her family closes tighter, and the shadow of an unwanted betrothal looms, Moren must risk everything to escape before her destiny is sealed forever. With blades sharpened, spells awakening, and a small band of unlikely allies, Moren will rise from the ashes of her old life to seize the one thing she’s never been given: her future.

On the forgotten world of Baedakar, life is a daily struggle against stone, scarcity, and the invisible hand of oppression. The villagers toil in the shadow of a galaxy that has left them behind, their every attempt at progress quietly sabotaged by forces they cannot see. While most accept the world as it is, a few begin to notice the patterns the subtle failures, the stifled ambitions, the sense that something, or someone, is holding them back. When a wandering outsider arrives, bringing rare knowledge and a hunger for lost truths, a small group of villagers is drawn together by curiosity, loyalty, and the quiet ache for something more. Their search for answers leads them deep beneath Baedakar’s surface, where they uncover evidence of deliberate sabotage and a hidden network of surveillance. The truth is more unsettling than they imagined their world is a mask, its people pawns in a greater game orchestrated by shadows. As the group races to expose the conspiracy, they must decide whom to trust and how far to go for the hope of freedom. Their journey will test the bonds of friendship and the limits of courage, as they risk everything to carry the truth beyond Baedakar’s walls. But the Council’s reach is long, and the galaxy’s indifference is deep. The first spark of rebellion is lit, and the fate of many may rest on the choices of a few who dare to question the darkness.

"She stole from a legend. Now he’s watching.” Sera was raised in silence and smoke. A thief of unmatched skill, She believes in nothing—not in rules, not in people, not in love. She lives between rooftops and alleyways, Taking what she wants. Vanishing without a trace. Until the night she stole an ancient amulet— One that belonged to Prince Ilarious, A creature of myth, Older than kingdoms, colder than death. From that moment, He began watching. Not chasing. Just… appearing. Smiling. As if what she took wasn’t just his— But part of him. She doesn’t know what he wants. She doesn’t know how to escape. She stole from a legend—and now she pays the price, but the debt is far from clear. (This is a side story to "When Crows Weep". It can be read on its own or after the main novel)

In a world where every person is born with a six-sided die that can reveal their fate, society lives by the roll. One means failure. Six means success. People ask their dice before jobs, relationships, even battles. Fate decides everything. But some are born with rarer dice — ones that don’t have all six numbers. Some dice have only two or three numbered sides. The rest? Blank. These people are known only to a secret organization called The Abnormals — who know the truth: > The rarer the die, the deeper it touches fate itself. And some blanks aren’t empty. They hold power. --- Kairo Enys has never rolled his die — not once. Born with a mysterious die that shows only two numbers — 1 and 2 — and four blank sides, he rejects the idea that fate should decide his life. He believes in choice, not chance. That changes the night he’s betrayed and left to die. With his phone gone and blood pouring from his chest, he rolls the die for the first time — asking if he’ll live to see tomorrow. It lands on a blank. He wakes up the next day, alive, unwounded… and holding a die that’s changed: red and gold, glowing with unknown power. That blank roll etched a skill into his soul: > Infinite Return — if he dies, he rewinds to the morning. But fate doesn’t like being rewritten. Now hunted by Unknowns — chaotic beings from beyond the fabric of reality — and watched by the Abnormals, Kairo begins to unlock the terrifying truth of his die: Each blank can store a daily skill, tied to his emotions. His signature power activates once a day — or more, if he’s willing to risk his life force. Every roll is a gamble — fate or power, survival or collapse. And worse — time is running out. Two centuries ago, a deal was struck by another like him to delay the end of the world. That deal expires in one year. Kairo didn’t ask for this fate. But now? > He’s the only one who can break it. --- Fate has rules. He breaks them.
