Primeval Anomaly

Ancestral Lineage

In a realm where power is determined by affinities—elemental forces that shape magic, combat, and survival—Ethan is an anomaly. While most people are born with a single affinity, Ethan stands apart, wielding a vast range of abilities granted by a mysterious Ancestral-line System. This unique system taps into the untapped potential of his vampire and dwarven bloodline, unlocking ancestral powers far beyond the norm. At just 18 years old, Ethan's journey begins when he accidentally awakens this system, discovering that he is the heir to a forgotten lineage that blends the strength, resilience, and mysticism of both vampire and dwarven ancestors, a perfect hybrid of both. Though he must awaken and evolve to harness their power. However, the more power he gains, the more he learns about the dark secrets of his lineage—secrets that others would kill to possess. Unlike everyone else, Ethan's affinities are not innate; they are granted by the system based on his bloodline’s ancient heritage. As he levels up, he acquires abilities that no one in the current era has ever seen: the Psychic powers of telekinesis and telepathy from ancient vampire lords, the earth-shaping skills of dwarf warriors, and a host of hidden abilities that challenge the world’s very understanding of magic. But power comes with a price. Ethan quickly finds himself targeted by powerful factions and hidden enemies who fear what his bloodline could mean for the balance of the world. Ancient forces tied to his ancestry awaken, each with their own agenda—some seeing him as a threat to be eliminated, others as a tool to be used. Accompanied by a diverse group of companions, each with their own affinities and secrets, Ethan embarks on a perilous journey. Together, they traverse beast-filled forests, ancient ruins, worlds and perilous dungeons, all while facing foes who seek to exploit or destroy Ethan’s unique powers. Along the way, bonds are forged, fates are entwined, and the line between friend and foe blurs as Ethan learns that his destiny is far greater than he ever imagined. But with every new ability comes a deeper question: What is the true purpose of the Ancestral-line System? As he battles monstrous creatures, rival affinity users, and ancient curses, Ethan must confront the reality that his bloodline holds the key to either the salvation or the destruction of their world or something else entirely. In a world governed by affinities, Ethan’s unmatched power sets him on a path that could change everything—or lead to his downfall. Will he master the secrets of his ancestry and forge his own fate, or will the weight of his heritage drag him into the depths of a history best left forgotten?

Rebirth of the Nether Sovereign

In a world where elemental mages are revered, William Colwen was born with the Darkness Element. His powers, limited to stealth and shadow manipulation, were deemed weak by the standards of the elemental guilds. Treated as little more than a tool by his adventurer party, William was tasked with carrying supplies and performing menial tasks while his companions basked in glory. But betrayal lurked in the shadows. When his party discovered the chance to acquire powerful treasures deep within a dangerous dungeon, they saw an opportunity to advance their own wealth and power. In a cold act of treachery, they sacrificed William inside the dungeon, offering him as a pawn in exchange for coveted artifacts. Left to die, his soul shattered and his body torn apart, it seemed his journey had come to an untimely end. However, death is not the end. The god of the Nether, a mysterious and ancient being who governs the realms of life and death, sees potential in William. In exchange for his resurrection, the god grants him a second chance at life, but with a price: William must bear an amulet, a symbol of his bond with the Nether. The amulet bears a beautiful yet ominous depiction of the Tildricil—a celestial being connected to the essence of the Nether, representing both balance and chaos. The amulet is a mark of his new powers and the god’s will. Reborn with the power of the Nether Element, William gains the ability to manipulate life, death, and spiritual energy. Unlike the Darkness Element he once wielded, the Nether is a far more potent and enigmatic force. Though it resembles Darkness in its appearance, the Nether is an entirely different realm of power—one that the world’s elemental guilds cannot identify or understand. They mistake it for a strange form of Darkness, unaware of the true potential and danger it holds. With his newfound powers and the burden of the Tildricil amulet, William seeks to right the wrongs of his death. His greatest motivation is his younger sister, Emily Colwen, whom he left behind in a world filled with danger and uncertainty. Determined to protect her and create a better life for her, William sets out on a journey to uncover the truth behind his rebirth, master his powers, and defend those he loves. As William’s abilities grow, so too do the challenges he faces. The elemental guilds remain unaware of the true nature of his powers, and enemies lurk in the shadows, knowing only that William is a dangerous anomaly. The god of the Nether’s influence over him brings both power and peril, and the secrets of the Tildricil begin to unravel, revealing a destiny far greater than William could have imagined. With enemies closing in, ancient forces at play, and the weight of his past actions haunting him, William must decide whether to seek revenge on those who betrayed him or carve a new path forward. Will he embrace his role as the Nether Sovereign, using his powers to protect his sister and reshape the world? Or will the power of the Nether consume him, and will the Tildricil amulet bind him to a fate he can never escape? In a world where elemental powers define one’s place, the reborn Nether Sovereign is a force of destiny—an anomaly that will alter the balance of life and death itself.

I Contracted Myself: Awakening SSS+ Potential

In a world overrun by dungeons and monsters, humanity's last defense lies in the hands of Awakeners, individuals gifted with extraordinary abilities. But not all abilities are created equal. Axel awakened Contract Bind, a unique E-rank ability so useless it seemed like a cruel joke. Unlike others who could form pacts with monsters and beasts, his ability could only bind a willing human. The catch? No one in their right mind would willingly surrender their freedom for a meager stat boost, especially to an E rank awakened like Axel. For years, Axel begged, bribed, and pleaded for someone, anyone, to accept his contract. But in a world driven by power and pride, no one was willing to kneel to an ability deemed useless. Even his girlfriend, the last shred of support in his life, abandoned him for a stronger Awakener. Broken, desperate, and with nothing left to lose, Axel made a choice that defied the system itself. "If no one else will, I'll do it myself.” Axel attempted the unthinkable: to contract himself. He knew it was impossible. The system’s rules forbade it. [Warning: Cannot contract self. Target must be a separate entity.] Unrelenting, he pressed on, defying the very foundations of the Awakener System. Then, something extraordinary happened. [Condition Met: Willing Subject Detected. Contracting Self...] [Contract Successful.] [An Anomaly Has Occurred. System Integrity at Risk. Reevaluating…] Pain unlike anything Axel had ever experienced tore through his body. The world blurred. And then, a cascade of notifications appeared, jagged and alien, unlike the polished menus of the Awakener System. [You have become your own summon.] [Status Changed: Human → Monster.] [Ability Rank Reevaluation in Progress...] [Unable to Determine Rank. Assigning Maximum Possible Rank…] [Ability: Contract Bind (SSS+)] Now, with the identity of both a human and a monster, with a power that transcends the known limits, Axel must navigate a world that fears and hunts what he has become. He must rise from the ashes of despair to challenge the very system that sought to suppress him.

No sporting activity whatsoever. He hates violence. Now they expect him to carry a sword. He is supposed to turn his body into a weapon of destruction, and his mind into a fortress of power. What the hell? How is he expected to survive a day at Celestial Academy when he has been home schooled since he was a child? How is he supposed to kill a bloodthirsty troll when he is scared of spiders? Exercise drills, push ups, war games...meditating? Never before in his life! Right. We all have to wait and see. Hopefully he'll find a way not to die on the first day.

Trikala - Volume 1: The Fissures Awaken

In the frozen kingdom of Aquindor, mysterious fissures erupt across the land, releasing deadly creatures and an ancient, malevolent energy. These anomalies shatter the fragile peace of the realm, forcing the Frostguard—Aquindor’s elite warriors—to confront a threat they scarcely understand. Amid the chaos, strange shards are uncovered near the fissures, artifacts that pulse with enigmatic energy and whisper of a long-forgotten war. As the Frostguard grapples with the growing menace, they reluctantly join forces with Kaelen and his band of adventurers, outsiders whose motives are as murky as the fissures themselves. Fragile alliances form and fray as philosophies clash and the stakes rise. Yet, even as the fissures spread and more artifacts are uncovered, it becomes clear that these events are part of something far larger—a system of chaos tied to ancient forces. Far from the kingdom’s view, a lone figure stirs, his solitude broken by the echoes of the fissures. Memories of an ancient war and the burden of his past haunt him as he senses the growing disturbance. Though unseen, his role in the unfolding events grows ever more inevitable. When a massive fissure tears through a key location in Aquindor, the kingdom faces a peril unlike any before. With alliances tested and truths unearthed, one question rises above the fray: Are the fissures a curse to be contained, or a warning of something far greater—something that threatens not just Aquindor, but the balance of the world itself?

I Became the Timekeeper: Juno and the Minutes of her Shattered Deaths

[Rewinding] In a world where each moment hangs by a thread and every second could be her last, Juno Luminara has discovered a horrifying gift—the ability to manipulate the fabric of time. But what seems like salvation is a double-edged curse, bringing her to her own deaths. Each death is real, leaving her scarred with the knowledge of lives unlived and choices unmade. Only she remembers every brutal ending, every gruesome failure. And with every use of her power, the weight of reality presses harder, like an unseen force that’s waiting to crush her under its clockwork inevitability. The realms teeters on the edge of collapse, threatened by the encroaching Void, a force of pure entropy devouring space, time, and sanity itself. Its monstrous rifts open without warning, twisting streets into nightmares where creatures born from forgotten futures stalk anyone unlucky enough to wander too close. Chosen as the Timekeeper, Juno is forced into a deadly game of survival, where one mistake can spiral into endless loops of despair. But she’s not just running from monsters—there are those who know what she can do, and they will stop at nothing to steal her power, even if it means trapping her in an eternal rewind. As she- [System overload] [REDACTED] [Time Skip Initializing] disappears into realms and timelines. With every use of her ability, Juno inches closer to madness, questioning how many times she can watch herself die before she loses what little humanity she has left. Time is both a lifeline and a labyrinth, and the deeper she goes, the harder it becomes to tell what’s real. As the Void tightens its grip on reality, Juno must untangle the twisted threads of fate, confront enigmatic enemies who bend time as easily as she does, and unlock the secrets of her own existence—before her mind fractures, and she becomes just another forgotten anomaly in the collapsing timeline. Her only weapons are her ingenuity, grit, and a system that responds to her every action but reveals as much danger as it does opportunity. One wrong move can doom an entire future; one right step can rewrite reality itself. Every ally is a potential betrayer. Every enemy hides a clue. And in the end, Juno’s biggest enemy may be time itself. "This timekeeper... How much longer do you think you can run from fate? Do you really believe you can cheat death forever?" [System failing...] [Reality restart commencing] With the fabric of existence unraveling, Juno must decide: will she surrender to inevitability, or break free from the cycle to forge her own future? The clock is ticking. And she’s running out of time.

When Fantasy Glitches

What happens when reality starts to bug out and your life as you know it is flipped upside down? Anomalies that couldn't possibly exist start to pop out of nowhere. This was the exact situation Magnus found himself in after a bizarre glitch yanked him from his own universe and tossed him into another. In this new, fantastical world brimming with magic and supernatural phenomena, Magnus's unexpected arrival landed him in possession of the Command Console, a tool that seems to be able to edit almost anything. With it, Magnus creates a variety of supernatural abilities that defy all common sense, even in a world of fantasy. Whether it was one that granted him truly endless strength or the ability to create detailed simulations of reality within his own mind, anything was possible. But Magnus isn't the only instance of such logic-defying abilities. All over the world, glitches are starting to manifest in weird ways: a brick that could knock anything unconscious with a single touch, a child whose perception of the world could affect reality, or even a woman who was, inexplicably, everyone's mother—there seemed to be no rhyme or reason behind any of them. When faced with all of these chaotic elements, Magnus comes to a decision. "Alright, if these are all glitches, then I'll simply have to be the one to fix them." Release Schedule: Monday, Wednesday & Friday. (Around 7:11 PM Eastern Standard Time) - This novel is also being posted on Royalroad, and can be read here; https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/84118/when-fantasy-glitches The Royalroad version is 10 Chapters ahead and has the original format.
