GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions known. Thank you.

An Alchemist's Assistant

Jack Ryder is a young apprentice to a skilled but mysterious Alchemist in the towering city of Arcfall, a vertical metropolis divided into levels. Each level, from the dark slums of the Ankles to the sunlit Ribcage, reflects a starkly different way of life. For Jack, living and working in the Ribcage is a dream come true—a far cry from the harsh Ankles where he grew up. Jack spends his days gathering rare ingredients and delivering potions, always eager to impress the Alchemist and learn more about her craft. But during a routine trip to the Ankles, he finds the area eerily empty and is stopped by soldiers searching for a dangerous fugitive. While trying to escape, Jack and the Alchemist discover a strange, dark object hidden in an alley. It’s unlike anything they’ve ever seen, pulsing with an unsettling energy that neither of them can explain. As Jack continues his work, he begins to uncover signs that something is very wrong in Arcfall. The soldiers aren’t just searching for a fugitive—they’re guarding secrets that could upend the city. Strange phenomena are appearing in the lower levels, and whispers of rebellion are rising from the shadows. Jack must figure out the truth behind the mysterious object, the soldiers’ mission, and how it all connects to Arcfall’s future. As the city faces an uncertain fate, Jack is forced to choose: stay safe and keep his place in the Ribcage, or risk everything to protect the people and the city he loves.

Life Of A Nobody - as a Villain

This is the tale of an average nobody, who after his death got transmigrated in a new world. The memories of his average life flashed before his eyes, as he found nothing that was noteworthy about him. So in this new world should he try to change that, should he wish to be supreme, rise to the peak or to rule the heavens, but he's too lazy for that. "And how come all the names are so familiar. Don't tell me, am I in that novel?" Soon after waking up he realised this world was based upon the very first novel he read years ago. At first he felt happy that finally something unexpected happened in his life. But that happiness was short lived as he remembered the plot of the book and the crisis that was coming for the world. If that wasn't enough he was living in the body of Rio Raven Blake - avatar of Nyx. Known by his other names like The last dark spawn, The first fallen or The infamous Devil. In a world brimming with dungeons, towers, Gods, Demons, monsters and magic - our MC finds himself trapped in the body of the last villain. "I don't care about the novel plot, I'll just ignore it, and live my life peacefully." At least that was his plan, until he heard a voice in his head , that he's been waiting for all this time. [DING] [TING] [TIDING] [DID YOU MISS ME??? ] 'The great villain system, what a funny name.' You can earn points by ruining the plotlines, and can get whatever you want. Let me see, I'm a master at messing things up. [What, someone is going to do a prophecy that I will become the villain after growing up - kill him while he's still a kid.] [what, this potion was made for the protagonist and the alchemist heroine - I'll take it with me.] [ohh you're the one who saves the protagonist when he was about to die - go to prison, you traitor.] [wait, you have a sister. but she is sick and needs help - here take this potion and work for me.] Got a money making slave for life. [What, my parents are fixing my engagement with the princess, who's also a main heroine, but will betray me later and help everyone kill me - Humph...just you wait...] Once the plot started many years later, at the academy entrance exam. Protagonist was shining brightly, breaking all records, taking first rank, but no one was talking about him. As the news came out that the genius of humanity Rio Blake, will be joining the academy too. Not only mortals, even Gods and Demons were surprised at this sudden development too. {Nyx nods at her believers achievements} {Odin says you've grown a lot} {Gauri/Kali challenges you to fight her believer} {Jesus prays for your souls redemption} {Anubis awaits your enemies doom} {Lucifer writes down your lines, as you take on the Devil persona} The protagonist just stared at the guy who took all the limelight from him, but his surprise turned to shock, when his sister ran and hugged the man, while crying her eyes out, saying she missed him and she was sorry. "What is happening? Who is he? {Apollo curses...} ## -- A/N - 1) NO HAREM. (I believe in soulmate love 2) MC doesn't care about right, wrong, good, evil - as long as he gets what he want, he'll do it. 3) He hates the so called righteous hypocrites, so don't think he'll be friends with protagonist. 4) MC is serious when it comes to relationships, so don't expect any kind of pokemon collection harem. 5) MC hates the plot, so he'll ruin it. Do not expect him to follow it or him trying to keep it same as written. 6) I don't like hiding my strength tropes, so not happening. He will be OP, and a badass. ## -- Join my discord for character arts and discussions https://discord.gg/zFTJsYP7kM DevilDarkness#0506

The Fractured Blade

The world was broken long before the Rupture tore the sky apart and unleashed its shadows. Kael Moren, a warrior gifted with the rare ability to wield both magic and steel, once believed in the Order of the Veil—a brotherhood sworn to protect the balance of the world. But the Order is gone, betrayed from within, and the balance shattered. Now, Kael is a reluctant protector to a handful of survivors, haunted by a truth he cannot ignore: the cataclysm that destroyed his home was no accident. The Rupture was the Order's desperate attempt to save a dying world, a choice that unleashed darkness far beyond their control. Among the chaos stands Eren, Kael’s former friend and fellow warrior, now a man twisted by the shadows he once fought against. Eren’s plans are as dangerous as they are mysterious, and Kael must face the possibility that his old friend may hold the key to understanding the Rupture—and stopping it.

But each step closer to the truth reveals a darker reality: the world may not be worth saving, and the shadows consuming it may be only the beginning. Caught between loyalty to a broken past and the harsh truths of an uncertain future, Kael must decide whether redemption is possible—or if the only way to end the cycle of destruction is to become what he fears most.

Abyss Reckoning

In the shattered world of Eldorath, where six kingdoms are locked in a relentless struggle for power, the greatest prize lies in the Forsaken Land—a cursed region harboring the chaotic, untamed Abyss. Each kingdom seeks the Abyss's hidden power, but none could predict the force of destruction it would unleash. Nitish, once a promising alchemist and noble in the human kingdom of Terrasol, was born without chakras—the innate power that defines his people. Mocked for his weakness and shunned by his peers, his only solace lay in his brilliant mind and kind heart. But betrayal came from the closest of allies. Falsely accused of heinous crimes, Nitish was beaten, humiliated, and cast into the Abyss—a fate deemed worse than death. The Abyss did not break him; it remade him. Emerging from the Forsaken Land, scarred and transformed, Nitish is no longer the man who was thrown away. With forbidden powers drawn from the Abyss and a heart hardened by suffering, he sets out on a path of vengeance. Those who betrayed him—noble families, corrupt rulers, and an ungrateful kingdom—will face his wrath. As the kingdoms vie for dominance, Nitish becomes a force of reckoning, tearing apart their fragile alliances and shattering their ambitions. Eldorath trembles as Nitish’s vengeance ignites a war that will reshape the land, challenge ancient powers, and reveal the true cost of betrayal. His journey will leave kingdoms in ruins and his enemies in despair, for Nitish is no longer bound by mercy or weakness. He is Vengeance incarnate.
