Savannah Moretti has enough problems without adding “workplace crush” to the mix. Ryan Hartwell—her annoyingly smug, Greek-god-looking colleague—has been her sworn nemesis since day one. She can deal with his snarky comments, unsolicited advice, and the way his stupid blue eyes seem to see right through her. What she can’t deal with? Her traitorous brain constantly imagining him shirtless. Or, worse, helpful. With her youngest sister’s wedding only a month away, her anxiety skyrockets to new heights at the thought of enduring yet another round of her family’s relentless interrogation about her (nonexistent) love life. Again. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and when Ryan, of all people, offers to be her plus-one for the week-long island wedding, Savannah is too cornered to say no. It’s just one week. A harmless fake-dating arrangement. What’s the worst that could happen? Besides Ryan force-feeding her lobster rolls... or making her question everything she thought she knew about him—and herself?

They called me The Whisperer. A joke. A mockery. The boy with the weakest magic just because I was a farmer. I was powerless when they came. I watched as my father and my mother was slaughtered. My village was reduced to ash, and the man in the black robe vanished, leaving nothing but blood and unanswered questions. All I had left was my infant sister and the faint spark of magic they all ridiculed. But even a whisper can grow into a storm. Now, I walk the path alone. My weak magic will become their weakness. I will make them hear the screams they left behind, feel the pain they inflicted, and drown in the vengeance they thought they escaped. They thought I was nothing. They were wrong. I will rise, and the last thing they’ll ever hear… is a whisper.

The most powerful and advanced race in the Chaos universe has sent its state-of-the-art research ship into space to search for inhabited planets and, if necessary, colonize them. Years later, on their way back home, their sensors caught a strange energy fluctuation coming from the black hole they passed near. Therefore, they changed direction and got as close to the black hole as possible. At that moment, the lightning energy suddenly released from the black hole hit the research ship. The ship, whose all systems suddenly shut down, lost its balance and was pulled into the black hole. After a while, the ship started working again, but it was too late. They could not escape from the black hole due to their insufficient energy, but sensors discovered that there was a wormhole inside the black hole. The ship heading to that point passed through the wormhole at the last moment and reached a very small universe. When they began to examine the new universe closely, they were immediately spotted by the local races and a war broke out between them. They lost the war because their advanced weapons were useless in this universe. And the new owner of the ship became the clan of the Immortal Ahzab. About 20 years later, all the clans who wanted to take over the ship united and declared war on Ahzab's clan. Ahzab's clan managed to escape from this green world by ship, but suffered many casualties. When they left the black hole with the ship and reached the universe of chaos, there was no trace of those following them. However, the condition of the ship was not very good. They set out for the nearest habitable planet. The ship quickly entered the atmosphere after many problems and sank after hitting the ground . Time passed quickly and years later, a new student joined the clan of the immortal Ahzab.

Jim was an undeniably ordinary boy. He was neither athletic nor particularly skilled at anything, and while he wasn't ugly, he certainly wasn't stunning either. In every conceivable way, he was unremarkable. Yet, he embraced this reality without hesitation; he was entirely comfortable in his skin. Indifference defined his attitude toward the world around him, including his existence. The popularity and social status dynamics held no sway over him; he didn’t care. His primary desire was to unwind and enjoy life. However, fate dealt him a powerful blow—he acquired an ability that would significantly impact the one thing he cherished most. True curses always come disguised as gifts, and Jim was about to discover that the hard way.

– – THIS IS JUST A DRAFT AND AS SUCH AM NOT TAKING IT SERIOUSLY HOWEVER IF YOU THINK ITS GOOD SURPPOT ME WITH POWERSTONES IF I GET ENOUGH I WOULD REWRITE IT AND ENSURE ITS PROFESSIONALLY WRITTEN (^_^) PS— A book which I am, actually taking seriously is called The Gravity Villain's Silent Return if you enjoy my writting check it out :) I guarantee it won't be a waste of your time :} Title: The Butcher of Magicians Genre: Action, Fantasy, Manipulative, Obsessive, Gore, Antihero --- Synopsis: In the world of Magaeth, magic reigns supreme. The most powerful magicians are not only respected but feared, holding unimaginable influence over all who cross their paths. At the top of this hierarchy, a select few wield immense power, their strength practically untouchable. Yet beneath this veil of strength and prestige, an unseen predator lurks in the shadows—a man with no magic, yet an uncanny ability to manipulate and destroy those who are. Ezra Drax is not your typical hero or villain. He’s neither driven by a thirst for power nor vengeance. Ezra is a hunter, and his prey? The strongest magicians in the world. A former swordsman with no magical abilities, Ezra has mastered the art of infiltration, psychological manipulation, and most disturbingly, the thrill of the kill. He is an enigmatic figure, charming yet sinister, blending in with his surroundings while quietly making his way toward his true goal: to destroy the very magicians who believe they are untouchable. When Ezra infiltrates Thalorian Academy, a prestigious school for the world's elite magicians, he presents himself as nothing more than a humble, curious swordsman seeking to improve his skills. But beneath his calm and unassuming exterior, Ezra is on a far darker mission—one kill at a time. He begins with Orland, an arrogant and ambitious magician at the academy, feeding him lies and deceit to fuel his obsession with power, until it is too late for Orland to turn back. Ezra’s calculated manipulation leads him to other powerful targets, each kill more brutal and bold than the last. Ezra’s manipulations are a work of art—his victims don’t see it coming until it’s too late. The academy’s leadership is soon aware of the mysterious deaths but cannot pinpoint the killer. As Ezra continues his ruthless pursuit, he remains several steps ahead, always in control, his own goals hidden behind the façade of a mere observer. But there’s a growing tension. Ezra’s increasing recklessness—fueled by his twisted obsession with killing strong magicians—puts him on a dangerous path, one that could lead to his exposure. With every victim, his legend grows, but so does the danger of his undoing. In a world where power and survival are everything, Ezra’s greatest challenge may not be the magicians he targets, but the temptation to push his obsession to its limits. The Butcher of Magicians is a dark, action-packed tale of manipulation, betrayal, and the chilling pursuit of an unrelenting predator. As Ezra carves his bloody path through the academy, readers will be swept into a world where nothing is what it seems, and the line between hunter and hunted blurs into nothingness. Will Ezra’s thirst for the kill consume him, or will his obsession be his ultimate downfall? One thing is certain: in a world ruled by magic, it’s not always the strongest who survive but the cunning A/NThis takes a lot of effort and time to make compared to my other novels which don't involve as much deception so unless it does well I would not be posting more chapters as this is purely experimental

"Through the ages, I was the shadow that ruled from the darkness, the unseen hand that restored balance whenever fools dared to disrupt what was never theirs. I was never a savior, nor did I act out of mercy or love for this world. I acted because their existence was nothing but a disturbance… because this world was never theirs to take! > And now, as we stand at the edge of annihilation—where time shatters, laws crumble, and ancient beasts rise from their slumber—do I sit idly and watch the end devour everything? Or do I seize this moment and reshape the end to suit my will? > Who am I? A foolish question, but I’ll indulge it, if only to hear the echo of my name shatter the cosmos itself. Hahahahaha... I am the Cursed Immortal!"

To tap into the power of Aethoria, those brave enough to challenge its trials from Eridoria would have to navigate the hidden pathways that connected the two worlds. Once in Aethoria, they would be met with the fabled Spire of Echoes, a towering structure that pierced the skies like a shard of glass.
