Awkward Stair Gates

[Mature Content Warning] "Fuck, I kinda wish that scene was real," Damian mused. "I'd love to see the look on your boss's face as I make you mine." — Callum Pierce thought his life was perfectly under control—wealth, power, and the CEO title of a gaming company most people only dream of working at. But then the dreams started: memories of being Prince Caelan, the golden heir to a kingdom betrayed and destroyed—and of Ashur, the stablehand he’d loved with his whole soul. Now, Callum’s sure of two things: reincarnation is real, and Micah Liu, the shy but ridiculously talented intern at his company, is Ashur reborn. But in this life, Micah is a stranger—and worse, he has a boyfriend; Damian Wells. Reincarnation was not on Callum’s bingo card, and neither was this absurd, awkward love triangle. Between balancing CEO responsibilities and unraveling the tangled mess of their past lives, Callum has to navigate the perils of modern romance while resisting the urge to blurt out, “Hi, I think you’re my soulmate from another life and, oh, by the way, your boyfriend’s dad stabbed my dad once.” Will Callum win back the love of his past life? Can he uncover the truth behind their tragic downfall before history repeats itself? And most importantly, can he survive the awkward lunch dates?

On Patreon (search for "Zane Lee" - the avatar is a black cat writing), you can read new chapters two weeks in advance. In a world shaped by trials and ancient mysteries, a young man named Leo awakens in a remote village with no memory of his past-only a deep scar on his collarbone, shaped like a five-pointed star. As a skilled blacksmith, he leads a quiet life until he and an outcast girl, Luna, uncover a long-forgotten legend about the Silver Pentagram, a once-glorious adventurer's guild. Their journey takes them through perilous cities, into the depths of a colossal mechanical tree, and against the will of those who wish to keep the past buried. When Leo encounters a masked thief named Dan, fragments of truth begin to surface-revealing that Leo might not just be seeking the Silver Pentagram, but reclaiming a history that was stolen from him. With powerful artifacts, sentient machines, and a looming war between light and darkness, The Ten Gates is a thrilling tale of lost identity, the battle between fate and free will, and the acceptance of both humanity's brilliance and its deepest flaws. As Leo and Luna venture toward the stormy shores of the Shattered Wind Sea, they must face not only their enemies but also the echoes of a forgotten past that could change the world forever. Will Leo reclaim his memories before the darkness overtakes him? Or will he become the very thing he once sought to destroy?

74 years ago, a mysterious surge of energy warped the entire world. It did not cause any damage to electrical devices, but caused giant gates to form. The gates are a portal to another world, where you kill monsters and retrieve items. After humans adapted, the world began to evolve around this system. People also gained skills and abilities, saying that one person was stronger than another was incorrect. If they were stronger, the weaker could just level up and get stronger. But there was a limit to these levels. When a human is born, there is a fixed limit that they cannot exceed. Guilds have formed to hunt through the gates. Gates that are left unchecked will break and let loose all the monsters hidden inside. So if the guilds are not quick enough, the city will turn to rubble. Gates and "Hunters" are ranked with a letter system. The rankings go from E, D, C, B, A, and S. E being the least powerful and S being the strongest. But only 7 people around the world have exceeded S rank. We call those select few, Grand Hunters.

Three centuries ago, the Gates appeared vast, otherworldly portals linking Earth to realms beyond comprehension. Neither man-made nor natural, they were constructs of unknown gods, their purpose shrouded in mystery. From these Gates came beings of immense power, capable of either destruction or enlightenment, heralding Earth’s potential transformation. Humanity was meant to fall 200 years ago, but something unknown delayed the apocalypse. The Gates, still standing, became enigmatic fixtures of life. Their true purpose was forgotten—until Viktor, a wandering ex-soldier, stumbled upon the system's "Missing piece": Luck. His discovery unleashed the cataclysm. A message echoed worldwide: “The world has discovered the missing piece of the system: Luck. Countdown remaining for the breaking of the gates: 48 hours.” The collapse began. Monsters surged from the Gates, bringing realms of magic and nightmares into Earth’s fragile reality. Cities fell, governments crumbled, and survival became the only goal. Marked by an impossibly maxed Luck stat of 9,999, Viktor became humanity’s reluctant hope to stop the chaos abound. Time is running out. The Gates have broken. The monsters are here. Let the battle for survival begin.
