The people once believed this would be the most difficult aspect of CK's life as a wordsmith, but the outcome of the trial was only a prelude of what was to come. And this is true; for what reason should one limit themselves to a single world when the Empire spans across worlds in the Vast Expansion? This is a place where fairytales are the cornerstone of a noble's society; where systems answer the call of the ambitious but not call them special. This is a place where only a single empire conquers all, and where a page of history is questioned in the era of peace. This place is not a story, but a journey that begins with a trial before Knowledge herself. Come, bear witness, and applaud the recital that is about to unfold! *** Prologue: The introductory volume. Students are meant to be nurtured and sheltered by the schools that took responsibility. But when the school has turned against one of their own, shall this be the sign of the student's downfall?

She was the "Queen of Showbiz," the beloved of the Castillo family, unlike Keira, the ugly duckling of the family.

Everything you gained from stepping all over me, I will take. My dear Selene, I will play you in the palms of my hands and live my life the way I was supposed to.'

Though don't worry this doesn't mean you can't enjoy this one before I write the first. This is the first story I've actually published so I appreciate any feedback, be it good or bad just let me know what you think.

A regular student who is just an ordinary youth. What is love? What is the past? How do we live? Why are we afraid of death? Where is our position in this wheel of life? How worthy are we to be called...human? "The Endless Hollow"

On the eve of his 18th birthday, Raon eagerly steps into the guild hall, ready to awaken his class and join the ranks of adventurers. But what should have been a moment of triumph turns into something far darker. Instead of a heroic warrior or noble mage, Raon awakens as an Undead Wendigo, a cursed being of primal hunger and frost. Struggling to understand his newfound powers—and the eerie silence of the system when it comes to the cost of his abilities—Raon embarks on a journey to uncover the truth about his class and its mysterious origins. With each step, his power grows, but so do the consequences: frost clings to his every move, allies grow wary of his chilling presence, and a gnawing hunger threatens to consume him entirely. In a world where classes define your destiny, Raon must forge his own path, torn between embracing the monster he’s becoming and holding onto the last fragments of his humanity.
