Charlie is a nobody. In the small, forgettable town of Maplewood, Charlie barely exists. His days are spent in a haze of lethargy, slumped on a basement couch that smells faintly of regret. His body, soft and bloated, seems to mirror the weight of his apathy—a monument to years of bad decisions and the crushing inertia of laziness. His parents look at him with disappointment, his classmates avoid him like a bad smell, and the girls, even the kind ones, can barely disguise their pity. He’s bullied, mocked, and ignored, but Charlie doesn’t care. Not really. Or so he tells himself. Until one day, a moment so small and humiliating it shouldn’t matter tears open the carefully constructed wall of indifference he’s built around himself. For the first time in years, Charlie feels something stir deep inside—a spark of something raw, terrifying, and undeniable. Then, one night, everything changes. A system appears, a voice in his mind that speaks of transformation, power, and redemption. It offers him a choice: to stay as he is and sink deeper into the void of his existence, or to rise—literally—and reshape himself, body and soul. The system promises him a path, but it won’t be easy. To shed the weight of his old self, Charlie must first face the physical and emotional burdens he’s carried for so long. The path is brutal, filled with trials that test his mind, body, and spirit. But as Charlie begins to claw his way out of the pit of mediocrity, he discovers a world beyond Maplewood—a world of incredible challenges, impossible bodies, and a system that rewards transformation. The ultimate prize? A body forged by effort, determination, and resilience—a body of iron, plasma, and even the golden brilliance of the sun. But each step comes with its own cost, and the system’s promises may hide more than they reveal. Can Charlie rise above the weight of his past, or will the weight of the world crush him once and for all?

When a routine interstellar mission goes awry, Commander Sarah Chen finds herself thrown through a wormhole and marooned on Kepler-9, a verdant world at the fringes of an unknown star system. The planet's inhabitants - a diverse coalition of species ranging from the crystalline Lumini to the shape-shifting Morphs - initially view her with suspicion. But as she learns their ways and shares her own knowledge, Chen transforms from outsider to trusted ally. The peace is short-lived. Kepler-9, the smallest and most resource-rich planet in its system, has long been a target for aggressive neighboring worlds. When Chen discovers that another invasion looms on the horizon, she must unite the planet's fractious species into a cohesive fighting force. Each race brings unique abilities: the Lumini's natural energy manipulation, the Morphs' infiltration expertise, the towering Titans' raw strength, and the microscopic Swarm's collective intelligence. Drawing on her Earth military training and her growing understanding of alien warfare, Chen devises unconventional strategies that play to each species' strengths. As the invasion draws near, she knows that victory will require more than just tactical brilliance - it will demand trust, sacrifice, and the courage to forge a new kind of civilization where humans and aliens stand as equals. But even as she prepares for war, a question haunts her: was her arrival on Kepler-9 truly an accident, or part of something larger? The answer may determine not just the fate of her adopted home, but the future of interspecies relations across the galaxy.

For years, he knew only stillness. Confined to a body that refused to move, unable to speak or act, his world was reduced to the smallest of motions—a blink, a breath. He had lived on the fringes of existence, watching life pass him by while his dreams withered, unreachable. On modern-day Earth, his broken body had long sentenced him to a life of quiet despair. Then the world changed. When the heavens split and the Cultivation Assist System descended, the rules of reality were rewritten. The Awakening brought power, opportunity, and a spark of hope to every corner of the world. For him, it brought a miracle: the chance to heal. The system mended the broken shell that had confined him for so long, restoring his strength and granting him the body he had always longed for. For the first time in years, he stood, felt the earth beneath his feet, and believed he could rise alongside the world’s new era. But even miracles have limits. While others rushed into the grand Pagodas—the centers of knowledge and cultivation where the strongest paths began—he was denied entry. Barred from the heart of the Awakening, he was forced to endure its trials on the outskirts. Every step forward came harder for him than it did for others. He clawed and fought for scraps of the opportunities others seemed to have handed to them. But he did not stop. Through sheer determination, he began to ascend. Slowly but surely, he carved out his place in the new world, defying the odds and the whispers of those who doubted him. He could see the life he had dreamed of—freedom, power, and the chance to soar—just within reach. But the world was not as kind as he believed. Just as he reached for the heights he had fought so hard to claim, betrayal struck. The knife that ended his life came not from an enemy, but from someone he thought loved him. The warmth of trust turned to the cold sting of death, and in his final moments, as the darkness took him, he wondered how he could have been so blind. But death was not the end. When he awakens again, in a new life and body, the memories of his first remain vivid and sharp. The struggles, the triumphs, and the bitter sting of betrayal—they burn within him, forging a determination that will not be silenced. The Cultivation Assist System is still there, but the rules of his second life are different, and the world he returns to is even more dangerous than before. Ashes to Apex follows the journey of a young man who rose from nothing, fought against impossible odds, and was struck down before he could truly soar. It is a tale of rebirth, ambition, and the unyielding drive to rise beyond the limits of fate. As the embers of his first life ignite a new flame, one question remains: How far can he rise before the ashes of his past threaten to consume him once more?

In a world where social status and success are determined by one’s Authentic Signature—a unique mark of talent or power each person develops in their lifetime—Kaylen Moore is a rare anomaly: a Blank.

But everything changes when Kaylen stumbles upon a forgotten artifact that allows him to mimic the Authentic Signatures of others. Armed with the ability to "fake" talents and powers, Kaylen quickly begins to climb the social ladder, infiltrating the highest echelons of power. From street-level thugs to influential elites, no one is safe from his deceptive abilities. However, as Kaylen rises, he discovers that the artifact comes at a cost: the more he uses it, the more it chips away at his sanity and blurs the line between his true self and the personas he creates. To complicate matters further, a shadowy organization that hunts down those who tamper with Authentic Signatures is closing in on him. Caught between the life he’s always dreamed of and the looming danger of exposure, Kaylen must decide: will he embrace his facade to become someone extraordinary, or will he risk everything to discover the truth behind his Blank status? Themes: Identity, deception, ambition, and the cost of power.
