After the cataclysmic Inkfracture, the Earth fragmented into Shards—disconnected pieces of geography drifting through uncertainty, held together by ancient glyphs and living maps.

When a forbidden glyph pulls him into an unmapped white void, Elian emerges with a horrifying truth: someone is initiating a Remapping, a process that can overwrite entire Shards… and rewrite reality itself. Now hunted by Ink Reapers, betrayed by false cartography, and armed only with a Codex that steals his memories in exchange for power, Elian must journey to the mysterious Spindle, where a mythic entity—the Cartographer of Ash—has awakened. But the deeper he delves, the more he questions what’s real, what’s rewritten, and whether maps were ever meant to guide… or to cage. > What would you sacrifice to redraw the world?

So basically, the only thing left for us to do is to choose. Choose whether to leave it or live it. Though, it's easier said than done.

Lara never believed in fairy tales. Not when she spent her life carrying the weight of a loveless upbringing, thankless jobs, and an aunt who viewed her more as a burden-bearer than family. Responsibility was her anchor—and her cage. Richard Calein, heir to the Calein empire, built his world on control, power, and silence. Raised by a cold stepmother and a distant father, love was a language he never learned to speak. Marriage was never in his plans—until it became a solution. Practical. Binding. Empty. A chance encounter. A marriage of convenience. Two lives with no reason to intertwine. But when Lara steps into Richard’s world, her quiet strength begins to chip away at his armor. And as he offers her a place in his world, he unknowingly hands her the tools to change it. Their union begins as nothing more than an agreement. Yet in the shadows of family expectation, corporate intrigue, and emotional scars, something unexpected begins to grow—a connection built not on vows spoken at an altar, but on moments unspoken in the quiet spaces between. But what happens when emotional distance turns into something neither can define? And what remains when truth, family, and betrayal tear through the fragile foundation they’ve built?

What is a monster? Humans normally define monsters as fear inducing, bloodthirsty creatures bent on destruction. But to Noah? Monsters were the humans who despised him without justifications, who taught him to loathe himself just for being human. Life was hell, a hell that was surrounded by “monsters”. Until one day, the world changed. Humans were suddenly graced by a Divine voice, one that warned of their extinction, but also promised them power. They were bestowed with a system, a system to aid their fight for survival, to survive against monsters. And when humanity was given that chance to survive, Noah chose to walk a path of a tamer, to befriend the very monsters that were threatening the humans' extinction. As he tamed the monsters, learned from them, bonded with them, shedding the last remnants of what it was to be human. Noah began to wonder, is it wrong to be considered a monster? Feedback is definitely appreciated, good or bad, let's make the story good together. I would like to note that the main character isn’t completely ruthless, he's more chaotically neutral. There’s a lot of good stories out there with ruthless, bloodthirsty, cold hearted main characters so if that’s what your interest in then I’m sorry to disappoint you.
