Aside from his unusually pale face, the boy had fairly common facial features. His clothes were loose-fitting and a bright shining steel sword was carelessly thrown by his side.

Afflicted with amnesia, Raten found himself lost in both mind and in the physical sense as he was a powerful member of the Black Spirit but had lost all memory of being one.

This decision was enough to set off a chain of events that will ultimately shape the future of their world.

Some try to dominate. Some think they're the heroes of a story that's already being written. Aslan isn't one of them Just a realist — the kind who understands that the brighter a star burns, the faster it runs out of fuel

For thirteen years, Kang Jae-hwan was the only reader of a forgotten webnovel. No likes. No comments. No views. Just 3,149 chapters of blood, betrayal, and the end of the world. Then, on the day it ended— The world changed. Reality collapsed into fiction. Invisible systems appeared. Scenarios began. Monsters he had only read about tore through Seoul.

A literal ‘red flag’ in a world that sees her as a threat. Excerpt: “You shouldn’t be here,” Zenon growled, his voice low, eyes dark with conflict as he leaned away. Elira looked up at him, lips parted and swollen. “Then why did you kiss me?” “I couldn’t resist you.” His arms tightened around her waist instead of letting go. “Then don’t,” she said, without breaking the gaze. “Remember, you asked for it.” Zenon’s eyes darkened with desire as his lips found the perfect spot on her neck. --- Elira Shaw was never meant to shine.

"He was never meant to exist. Erased thirteen times. Anchored by a girl cursed to remember. Now, Kael holds the Chaospen a weapon that rewrites fate itself. But every sentence costs him a memory... and maybe, his soul. In a world where thoughts turn into monsters and the Editor watches every move this glitch won’t follow the story. He’ll burn it."

❝The gods erased him. Thirteen times. Each time, he came back... worse.❞ Kael never wanted to be a Sovereign. He only wanted one thing to remember what the world kept forcing him to forget. In a universe where fate is written by narrators, and broken memories fuel power, Kael becomes the first anomaly: a soul that cannot be cleanly erased. Bound to the Glitch Core, Kael gains access to forbidden scripts lines not meant to exist. Each power he unlocks doesn’t make him stronger... it makes him more unfinished. Alongside Nyra, a warrior cursed to remember every version of his death, Kael walks through fractured timelines, corrupted quests, and rewritten betrayals fighting not just monsters, but the story itself. But as he unravels the truth, one thing becomes terrifyingly clear: This isn't just his story. It's the reader's too. Glitch Sovereign is a brutal, cinematic, emotionally raw journey through power, loss, memory, and the cost of rewriting fate. Dark. Intelligent. Twisted. If you think you've seen every power system…you haven't met a glitch yet.

What started as a dream job has become a nightmare of endless hours, sleeping in the office, and being treated like a corporate puppet. While testing the company's latest game, "Empire Online" - based on a popular web novel - exhaustion finally overtakes him and he collapses at his desk. When Dante wakes up, he's no longer in his cramped office.

Lux is the bastard son of a Marquis, branded as a "failed genius" and cursed with multiple debilitating traits.

Armed with his knowledge of the game's storyline and mechanics, Dante must navigate this dangerous new reality. He knows exactly what's supposed to happen to Lux d'Branmere - and it's not good. The question is: can someone rewrite their own story when they're trapped playing the villain? Or is Dante doomed to follow the same path that leads to Lux's downfall?

"Sometimes, to escape the pain... you must face it at the summit." Ryuji Nakamura has lived a life many would call shattered since childhood. Emotionally neglected, scarred by loss, and surrounded by despair, his world began to fall apart at the age of thirteen… and fully broke when, at fifteen, he witnessed his beloved husky being killed by his own father in a drunken rage. Now, at 21, both of his parents are gone: his father destroyed by addiction, and his mother confined to a psychiatric hospital after succumbing to madness. Alone. Drowning in suicidal thoughts. With no one left. Just as the abyss seems inevitable, a mysterious letter appears at his doorstep — an invitation to a mountaineering expedition in the remote and legendary Wynvernia Peaks, a place few dare to speak of, but one that promises to “heal what the soul cannot explain.” Driven by a final flicker of hope, Ryuji accepts… only to discover that Wynvernia is not just a mountain range. It's a supernatural, snow-covered realm where memories come alive, spirits walk among the living, and the cold reveals every buried trauma. Haunted by the spectral presence of his father and guided by the loyal spirit of his dog, Ryuji must survive not only the cruel wilderness, but also the haunting echoes of his past—while discovering that others who arrived for the same reason also carry their own darkness… and not all of them seek healing. Some just want to escape. Others want something far worse. In this frozen dimension, Ryuji must fight to overcome his pain and find the strength to return—before the silence consumes him forever.

You might think that just because I- the author of this book- am thirteen years old, this book will be safe, soft, and mostly child friendly. It is not. Be warned before you delve into Adam Carter's seriously messed up mind; this book is not made for the faint of heart.  It deals with themes of depression, suicide, and bullying. There are many scenes where characters are doing a plethora of different illegal drugs. Underage characters drink alcohol. Be prepared for some fighting, descriptions of sometimes brutal injuries, themes of self harm, suicidal ideation, emotional and physical neglect, swearing, and trauma. This book is not written to glorify or encourage any of those things. This book is written to show what we often hide behind our closed doors, to raise awareness, and to show what NOT to do.  You have been warned. Those of you who are left, leave your world and enter a broken mind.

Caelus Thorne was born into a good family. But at thirteen, he lost everything that was his parents. The cause? Unknown. The memories? Gone. Yet he didn't care about his past; rather, he focused on the present and the future. One day before his 16th birthday, he saw a garden from his dreams, where beauty is born from rot, and death blooms in the form of blood-red spider lilies. His parents, long dead under unknown circumstances, appeared in visions too grotesque to be mere memories-like, visions that tear through the veil of reality like butterfly wings made of shadow and flame. Caelus is dying, and he has known about it for as long as he can remember. Plagued by a mysterious illness that no doctor can explain, he survives each day on sheer willpower and the warmth of the one person who refuses to leave his side: his sole friend, Uriel Evernight, heiress to a family that would rather see him gone. Now, on the eve of his sixteenth birthday, he revisits the amusement park where his parents died, also the site of his 13th birthday. When Uriel proposed to him, a huge incident occurred, awakening his affinity. After that incident, he discovered the unknown world he inhabits through the academy he was sent to by the Awakeners Association. But who would have thought that the path he chose would turn him into a criminal? ... This novel doesn't have a system, no level-ups, and nothing else; everything must be accomplished through hard work or talent. There is a system-like feature only to track their abilities and ranks, which will exist in their cores. Next, there will be a lot of gore, and even in the first chapter, there is plenty of it. So, it is a warning for people who doesn't want any gore, the gore is huge in my novel. The main character will be a villain, as the tag suggests, and he will not become a villain directly; rather, through the progression of the novel, he will become one he may not be in the beginning. There is only a little romance, so I didn't put the tag, and the romance is for the sake of the plot. Chapter words: Max - unknown number of words Min - 1500 words
