Puppet Fnia

Velvet Chains of a Tycoon

[When Prejudice Collides with Fate: Whose Trap Is This Mismatched Marriage?] Qin Ran had always believed that a man still trapped in the arranged-marriage circus at thirty must be either emotionally stunted or physically defective. But the universe had a wicked sense of humor—because the man waiting at Table 11 was a walking contradiction. Lu Sheng was a paradox of elegance and danger. His charcoal suit sculpted a body built for both boardrooms and back-alley brawls. When his gaze locked onto hers, the sharp lines of his face seemed to carve shadows into the air, the room suddenly heavy with the scent of cedar and unspoken threats. “I’m sorry, I think I’ve mistaken the table—” “Sit.” His voice cracked like a whip, freezing her mid-retreat. The glint of his platinum watch mirrored her death grip on the handbag strap. “If we’re both puppets in this family farce… let’s at least make it mutually beneficial.” Three days later, the marriage certificate seared her palm like a brand. She’d told herself this was a calculated escape from her brother’s suffocating household—until their wedding night, when the fresh scar snaking across his ribs screamed of bullets, not business deals. And when Lu Sheng shrugged off his shirt, water sluicing down the defined ridges of his abdomen, his smirk was pure sin: “Clause Three of our contract, Mrs. Lu—no coveting Party A’s assets.” She backed him against the glass wall, her fingers skating over the corded muscle of his spine. “Mr. Lu… does that clause include your six-pack?” [High-Stakes Romance | Marriage of Convenience | Enemies-to-Forced-Allies] — A billionaire with a bulletproof reputation and a vault of secrets. — A razor-tongued medical intern with a talent for unearthing truths. As lies ignite and bullets fly, only one rule remains: In this game of hearts and gunpowder, the first to fall… loses everything.

Puppet of the Gods

[Puppet of the Gods / Kamigami no Kugutsu] Since the dawn of existence, two opposing forces have governed the world: Linear Fate and Boundless Fate. Linear Fate ensures absolute order, where every event is predetermined and unchangeable, while Boundless Fate embodies limitless possibilities, allowing free will to shape destiny. The Archons, self-proclaimed gods of the world, feared the chaos of free will and sought to eradicate it, forging an alliance with Linear Fate to suppress Boundless Fate and trap mortals in an unbreakable cycle of predestination. From the remnants of Boundless Fate and the last flickers of human defiance, Nazo was born. Unlike any mortal, he was untouched by Linear Fate’s and the Archon’s control, an anomaly with the potential to restore the shattered balance. However, the Archons recognized the danger he posed before he could ever realize his power. Knowing they can’t erase him yet and the fact that Boundless Fate was severely weaken, they’re able and did twisted him into their greatest puppet. From infancy, they manipulated his very existence, embedding within him a false purpose. He was raised as their enforcer, taught to believe that resisting fate was futile, that free will was an illusion, and that Linear Fate was the ultimate truth. His emotions were suppressed, his memories distorted, and his mind shackled in an unending cycle of obedience. Whenever a sliver of doubt arose, the Archons manipulated reality around him, ensuring that every attempt at defiance resulted in despair and failure. Yet, despite their efforts, the tiniest echoes of Boundless Fate still lingered within him. It was barely perceptible, but enough to spark questions. Enough for cracks to form in the Archons’ perfect world. Enough to make him wonder—could linear fate truly be change?

Creator's POV

Everything was going according to plan—until my life was turned upside down. I had just graduated from university and was ready to start my career, fulfilling both my goals and those of my parents. But then, disaster struck. —— Creation of the World—a game that grants its user the ability to control a limitless world, with the power to create and destroy anything without restriction. Cassian watched helplessly as Earth was consumed by the world he had built. Unable to intervene, he suddenly found himself in a body that wasn’t his own. Cassian Starhold—the older brother of the world’s greatest hero. —— I was content with my life as a puppet, a slave whose only purpose was to toil away, sacrificing everything for a few worthless scraps of metal. But my enemies couldn’t leave me in peace. They brought war to my doorstep and destroyed everything I had spent my life building. I stood among thousands of their strongest sons, as they listened to the man who had ignited the fire in my life. Towering and imposing, he spoke from atop majestic marble columns, his gray hair blending with the crowd. Thousands of people, all sharing his features, gazed up at him with eyes filled with admiration and ambition. “People are not equal!” he declared, his voice dripping with arrogance. “We are the pinnacle of evolution! There is nothing beyond us! We have risen above piles of inferior blood, leaving massacres in our wake. And now, you are about to inherit this legacy.” He paused, surveying the crowd below with cold pride. “But this power must be earned. It is not granted by birth. Wealth, power, status… these things demand mountains of victims just to catch a glimpse of them.” His arms stretched wide, madness and pride gleaming in his eyes, and the crowd mirrored him, thousands roaring with fervent pride. The sight was terrifying. “You have no idea what your ancestors sacrificed to put you here. But you will learn. And I swear to you, with my pride on the line…” “Only those worthy of us will survive!” "Soon, I will show you why we are called dragons!" What these so-called dragons don’t know… is that a puppet will rise to shatter their illusions. He’s wrong. None of them will survive. ====== Author's Note: As you can see from the tags, the MC will eventually become a villain, but not at the beginning—and not even within the first three arcs. I'll take the time to carefully build his character and develop his transformation in a way that feels natural and logical. His ultimate goal is to return to his original family, so he harbors a deep hatred for the world he’s been pulled into. This novel will explore darker themes like slavery, murder, mind control, and betrayal. However, it will not contain R-18 content, so if that’s what you’re looking for, you might want to reconsider. The MC won’t be OP from the start, nor the smartest, but he will quickly gain experience and grow.

I Became A God In Another World

I am Rafayel Lior Dowan—a name that once echoed in a hospital room where I spent my life trapped by illness. Each day felt the same, a dull cycle of pain and longing. I watched as others lived freely, while I remained stuck in bed, dependent on machines. My heart grew bitter as I cursed the god who allowed my suffering. In a moment of desperation, I demanded justice, and the god answered my curse—my life support failed during a power outage, and I slipped away into darkness. When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a strange, beautiful realm filled with swirling colors and bright lights. Before me stood a goddess, radiant yet intimidating. With a voice like thunder, she gave me incredible powers but took away all my memories. My past, my pain, my very identity—gone in an instant. I was to be a god, but a god without a soul. As she cast me into the void, the weight of my new existence pressed down on me. Even though I had divine abilities, I felt empty inside. I was a puppet in a game I didn’t choose. Yet, deep within, a spark of defiance ignited. The goddess may have erased my memories, but she could not snuff out my desire for revenge. In this new world, I wielded power beyond imagination. I could shape reality, control elements, and influence the lives of mortals. But I felt like a hollow shell, drifting through a beautiful yet chaotic landscape. With each act of creation, pieces of my former self began to emerge—a shared laugh, a shed tear, a lost love. The goddess had underestimated the strength of the human spirit. Determined to reclaim my past, I set out on a quest. Along the way, I met friends and foes, each encounter revealing bits of my life. I began to uncover the truth about the goddess—a being who thrived on the suffering of others, a manipulator who enjoyed the chaos she created. With each memory I regained, my resolve grew stronger. I would not be a pawn in her game; I would become the master of my destiny. The goddess may have thrown me into darkness, but I would rise as a powerful force. The day would come when I would confront her, not as the lost soul she made, but as the god I was meant to be. And on that day, she would truly understand the meaning of revenge.
