The Brokenwood Mysteries Publish Or Be Damned

My name is Loki. Not the god of mischief, but close enough. In my last life, I was an orphan with a bad attitude and a worse haircut. My hobbies included tricking rich kids, stealing cheap paperbacks, and reading one fantasy novel over and over again. And then I woke up inside it. Not as the protagonist. Not as the villain. Just a nobody. A background character with zero stats and no plot relevance. Worse? I remembered everything. The betrayals. The corrupted kingdoms. The apocalypse disguised as prophecy. The chains. The flame. The end of the world. Oh—and the author? Let’s just say they made a lot of… questionable decisions. So I decided to make a few of my own. Steal the legendary cards. Manipulate heroes. Kill villains before the plot needs them. Lie, cheat, and break the system itself if I have to. Because if fate made me a nobody— Then I’ll become the bug that crashes the whole story. This world doesn’t know it yet, but I’m done playing by its script. I’m not the reader anymore. I’m the rewrite. Checkmate. ... discord: https://discord.gg/59UqUTSZbt Cover By Shyrlo!

In a world where every soul is blessed by the divine, one outcast begins to question the truth behind the gods. When forgotten ruins whisper secrets and ancient powers stir once more, he finds himself hunted not for what he’s done, but for what he’s meant to become. As he crosses blades with divine beings and unravels the lies that built his world, a single truth remains: Some flames were never meant to die. Dive into Whispers of the Last Flame a tale of forgotten history, divine mysteries, and the spark that could burn gods.

In a world where civilization clings to the ruins of forgotten empires and the desert guards secrets as ancient as time itself, calm is shattered by the emergence of inexplicable phenomena. Collective nightmares, the mass flight of animals, and the manifestation of impossible glyphs that radiate an alien light begin to sow terror among remote settlements. They are not mere anomalies; they are the scars of a reality that is cracking—through which the whispers of the ineffable and the energies of ancient cosmic entities begin to seep. Amid this awakening of horrors emerges Alistair Finch, a young scholar whose lineage has gifted him a rare ability: the perception and manipulation of the arcane currents that flow through the world, a mystical art of cultivation that connects him to the hidden truths of the universe. Driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge and a stubborn determination, Alistair embarks on a dangerous journey to understand the nature of these glyphs and the growing threat they represent. From millennia-old temples consumed by overgrowth to sealed libraries holding forbidden knowledge, Alistair ventures down a path where sanity is the price of truth. He discovers that these glyphs are gateways to vast extradimensional abysses—realms inhabited by beings of incomprehensible power and alien morality, whose mere existence threatens to unravel known reality. As the boundaries between the tangible and the cosmic blur, Alistair must face not only the terrifying manifestations of these entities, but also the internal struggle to preserve his own mind. His journey will make him the Sovereign of the Cosmic Mysteries: not by a power of domination, but by his unique ability to navigate among the darkest truths and the deepest secrets of the cosmos—trying to seal the wounds of the world before the unknown consumes everything.

Population: 6,572. At least, that’s what the sign says. But I haven’t seen half those people in years. I’ve lived in Elmwood my whole life. It’s quiet, tucked between dense woods and darker secrets. People vanish here—sometimes without a trace, sometimes leaving behind just enough to keep you awake at night. The town pretends everything’s fine. It’s not. Lately, something’s changed. The air feels heavier. The nights stretch longer. And the things we used to whisper about? They’re not stories anymore. I keep telling myself I’m going to leave. Bag packed. Car half-fueled. But every time I try, something stops me. Maybe the town won’t let me go. Or maybe I stop myself cause deep down… I want to solve these cold cases
