The Novel Dimensions In the beginning, God, the Supreme Creator, brought forth countless worlds, each teeming with life, energy, and the endless possibilities of fate. To oversee these worlds, He created the gods—beings of immense power tasked with maintaining balance and order within their assigned realms. Under these gods, the Asuras were formed, loyal enforcers who upheld the laws of existence within the dimensions. Yet, peace is but a fleeting dream. From the shadows of the void, the banished angel Gabriel rose once more, forsaking his past identity to become Omnipholus—the Demonic God of All Realms. With a single purpose driving him, he sought to do what none had dared: eradicate God completely. And so, he whispered his corruption into the heart of a once-great deity—Aruka, a god who soon fell from grace. With his newfound darkness, Aruka reshaped his realm into something never before seen: The Novel Dimensions. Each dimension became a mere fragment of a grand narrative, their fates dictated by stories written for the gods’ entertainment. The people within these worlds lived their lives, unaware that their struggles, their victories, and even their suffering were but pages in a book dictated by forces beyond their comprehension. The Six Stages of the Novel Dimensions Aruka, now fully embracing his corruption, divided the worlds under his control into six escalating trials: 1. Story Stage – The foundation of the world, where everything follows a prewritten narrative. 2. Apocalypse Stage – A test of survival, where civilizations must overcome an apocalypse-level threat. They are granted three attempts—a tutorial, of sorts. 3. King Stage – A war against a threat far surpassing the apocalypse, a sovereign of destruction known as a King. 4. Unknown Stage – Beyond comprehension, an enemy so powerful it is known only as the Unknown. Here, only one attempt is given. 5. Immortal Stage – A realm beyond even the Unknown. Here, the threats are truly eternal—only a transcendent being can defeat them. No dimension has ever passed this stage. 6. Transcendent Stage – A stage so unfathomable that none have reached it, and its true nature remains a mystery. To ensure these trials were not completely unwinnable, Aruka dictated that each stage must have a happy ending with at least a 60% success rate—except for the Apocalypse Stage, which required a minimum of 50%. The Seven Pillars of the Novel Dimensions To maintain the cycle of stories, Aruka established seven fundamental forces governing the dimensions: 1. Asuras – The enforcers who ensure the rules of the novel dimensions are followed. 2. Legends – Historical figures of great renown who work to prevent excessive deaths, protect the Main Character and Lead Roles, and ensure a good ending. 3. Story Writer – The unseen force shaping the plot, writing the journey of the Main Character, the Lead Roles, and the progression of each stage. 4. The Stages – The ever-looming trials that must be overcome for the world to progress. 5. Main Character – The destined savior, the one meant to lead the world to victory. The world can still be saved without them, but their death brings irreversible consequences. 6. Lead Roles – The chosen ones who aid the Main Character, guiding and supporting them. 7. Rules – The unbreakable laws of the dimensions: • Asuras and Legends cannot interfere directly, only through revelations passed to priests and priestesses. • Mortals, including the Main Character and Lead Roles, must never learn the truth about the Novel Dimensions. • If the Apocalypse Stage proves too difficult, the Legends may seek outside help by inviting a Guest from another dimension. The Guest: A Force of Change A Guest is an individual summoned from a different dimension to aid in the Apocalypse Stage. However, their arrival is bound by strict conditions: • The dimension must still be …..

Excerpt: Ethan's eyes gleamed with amusement as he whispered in Ava's ear, "You know, wife, you're adorable when you're trying to be stern." He was leaning against the wall, his arms crossed, his gaze fixed on her with an intensity that made her heart race. Ava's eyes flashed with irritation, her cheeks flushing. "Ethan, stop teasing me. We need to focus on our plan." She tried to sound firm, but her voice trembled slightly, betraying her frustration. Ethan's grin only grew wider. "Oh, come on, Ava. You know I'm just trying to lighten the mood. You're so serious all the time." He pushed off the wall, his movements fluid and graceful, and took a step closer to her. Ava's hands clenched into fists, her voice firm. "This isn't a game, Ethan. Our lives are at stake. We can't afford to make mistakes." She tried to sound convincing, but her eyes kept drifting to his, and she couldn't help but notice the way his eyes crinkled at the corners when he smiled. Ethan's expression turned innocent, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Who says I'm not taking it seriously? Maybe I'm just trying to distract you from the tension between us." He raised an eyebrow, his gaze fixed on hers, and Ava felt her heart skip a beat. "There's no tension, Ethan. We're just allies in this marriage pact," she lied, trying to sound convincing. But her voice was barely above a whisper, and Ethan's knowing gaze made her feel like he could see right through her. Ethan's chuckle was low and husky. "Keep telling yourself that, Ava. But I see the way you look at me sometimes... like you're trying to resist a temptation." He took another step closer, his eyes locked onto hers, and Ava felt her pulse race. "I don't know what you're talking about," she lied again, trying to sound convincing. But her eyes darted away, betraying her. Ethan's whisper was soft, his breath caressing her ear. "Oh, but I think you do, Ava. And soon, you'll have to admit it." His words sent shivers down her spine, and Ava knew she was in danger of falling for her husband's charms, even though she refused to admit it. The air was charged with tension, their banter a delicate dance of denial and attraction. And in that moment, Ava knew she was walking a thin line between resistance and surrender.

War is a hunger that devours everything. Kingdoms, armies, and even the souls of those who fight it. For Eryndor Voss, war was never a choice—it was survival. Once a miner in the storm-scarred highlands, he lost everything when the Akkadian Empire burned his village, enslaved his people, and carved their dominion into the bones of the earth. Now, as a commander of the Raven Claws, a ruthless rebel force striking from the shadows, he wages a war not for glory, but for vengeance. But empires do not break easily. The Akkadian Warborn, elite warriors clad in black iron, hunt him relentlessly. Their leader, the enigmatic Legate Kaelvar, is more than a soldier—he is a tactician who plays war like a grandmaster’s game, turning every battlefield into a test of Eryndor’s resolve. The war grows bloodier, the lines between honor and monstrosity thinner. Victory demands sacrifice. But as Eryndor’s desperate guerrilla strikes escalate into full-scale rebellion, he faces a question far darker than death: Can you win a war without becoming the monster you fight?

In a world ravaged by civil war, humanity teetered on the brink of collapse. The conflict was fueled by the fact that humans possessed extraordinary abilities, which they wielded against one another in a desperate bid for dominance. As the chaos escalated, the Hoshino family, driven by a desire to restore peace and balance to the world, took drastic measures. They created a virus, one that, when inhaled, would suppress the special powers that had become the root of the conflict. The virus, a potent tool in the quest for tranquility, was disseminated globally, its effects felt by all who breathed it in. To ensure that humanity remained in check, the Hoshino family periodically released the virus, maintaining a delicate equilibrium. However, there was a caveat: the Hoshino family themselves were immune to the virus's effects, possessing a unique resistance that set them apart from the rest of humanity. This immunity granted the Hoshino family unparalleled power and control, allowing them to shape the world according to their vision. As the sole guardians of the virus, they held the fate of humanity in their hands, dictating the course of history and maintaining the fragile peace that had been forged. Generations passed, and the Oshino family's grip on the world only tightened. They ruled with an iron fist, crushing any opposition and maintaining control through brutal force. But their power went beyond mere physical dominance - they had also developed the ability to manipulate the minds of people, erasing memories and altering perceptions to suit their own agenda. The world was a dystopian nightmare, with the Hoshino family pulling the strings from behind the scenes. But amidst the darkness, a glimmer of hope emerged. A young man named Kaito, along with his loyal companion, a dog from the slums, rose up to challenge the Hoshino family's stranglehold on the world. They were joined by a motley crew of individuals from the slums, each with their own unique skills and strengths. Together, they formed a ragtag resistance, determined to fight against the Hoshino family's tyranny and reclaim the world for its rightful owners. As Kaito and his companions delved deeper into the heart of the Hoshino family's stronghold, they began to uncover the dark secrets behind the virus and the family's mind control techniques. They discovered that the virus was not just a simple suppressant, but a complex tool that altered the very fabric of human consciousness. They learned that the Hoshino family had been using the virus to erase memories of humanity's past, to make people forget that they had once possessed extraordinary abilities. The more they learned, the more they realized that their fight was not just against the Hoshino family, but against a system that had been designed to keep humanity in chains. They saw that the world was a prison, with the Hoshino family as the wardens, and that the only way to escape was to confront the truth and shatter the illusions that had been cast over the world. With this knowledge, Kaito and his companions steeled themselves for the ultimate battle. They would fight to free humanity from the Hoshino family's grasp, to restore the memories of the past, and to reclaim the powers that had been lost. The war for the future had begun, and the fate of humanity hung in the balance. Would Kaito and his companions be able to overcome the Hoshino family's formidable power, or would the world remain forever trapped in a cycle of oppression and control? Only time would tell.
