Who is Aether? Wasn’t he Leonardo just a while ago? No way… the Museum, him? He can’t survive in there. The number of beings and phenomena are absurd. A mere miner couldn’t possibly— From Leonardo to Aether, he is now a tour guide. Knock. Wake up. He is here to guide you, from the highest realm to the lowest era. He knows every hole, every cult, nothing too small or too hidden in a realm brimming with mysteries. His story—his original story—has brought together hundreds of races. His vision awakening in the Museum, his eyes shining as bright as stars upon opening them—was it heaven at first? It’s more like hell now. He’s diverged from his original path, now fully entangled in the Museum, no longer just an era, a mere thought, or a simple story. He is a practical officer among the five tour guides. The eras continue to form, the copies continue shaping concepts, and the sages continue to watch over 21 realms. But his story has only just begun. From floor to floor, wonder to wonder—he is lucky to be the son. From the brightest city to the farthest reaches of the 20th realm, evolution, an impediment to the term "growth," this is Aether. Your, yes, your, uninvited guest. https://discord.gg/Pjz9taHPjs. [Discord guys!!}

The Mayan ceremonial dagger had an inscription in the ancient language that read: "Offer thy heart". It's obviously an instruction left by the past inhabitants of this forgotten place, but who would be stupid enough to stab himself in the heart with a rusty old knife found inside a tombstone? After activating my battery pack the dagger shimmers brightly in a cyan light, the creatures are coming, I can hear their steps. 'It's do or die.'

Sebastian is called by many different names: lunatic, madman, crazy, and a monster.  
Pretending to be human is an effortless task; calculating and flirtatious is a mask he carries for centuries, playing with the lives of those around him as if they’re just a game. 
His closed heart never lets anyone in, keeping a distance from anyone except for his annoying family, who live and protect each other. Despite having a dysfunctional, crazy family yet being regarded with suspicion and dread, his heart longs for more.  
On that fateful night, he never thought it was possible for him to have another emotional connection.  
A young, feral boy carrying a hunter-knife is surrounded by blood, snow, and dead wolves in the forest. Why does his youthful body carry a grotesque canvas of scars like they tell a gruesome past? Why do his eyes carry a heavy burden that's too young for a human? Or is he a human in the first place? 
As he gets to know the bratty Atlas, who angers him and challenges him, test him to the limits. If it was anyone else, he would not hesitate sending them to their grave.  Soon, he would learn that Atlas carries a heavy, dark secret, where Sebastian had to look for an answer in Atlas's past and must decide if he's worth protecting.  ***

[Main Plot Completed] A love doomed from the start, a lost cause, a losing battle—and yet, neither hearts are willing to let go until the very end. ----- Arlan Cromwell, the epitome of the perfect Crown Prince. All he wants is to live a normal life of a human but the life of a dragon is anything but normal. He has but one goal—to find his runaway betrothed and behead her. What happens when he discovers that the woman who has snagged his heart is the one he vowed to kill? Oriana, a Black Witch, disguising herself as a man, has spent her entire life on the run without knowing what she is running away from. When the mysteries of her past slowly catch up to her, she has no one to turn to…except Arlan. But when she learns that the man she has given her heart to is the same man who wants to kill her, how can she accept the cruel card life dealt her? Two people with secrets to keep, identities to hide, and answers to find. When the certain darkness threatens to take Oriana away, will the Dragon be able to protect his mate? ----- Excerpt- “If I knew you were my betrothed, I would have killed you the very first moment we met." Arlan's gaze darkened with hatred. “If I knew I was betrothed to you, I would have killed myself before you even killed me!” Oriana mirrored the same emotions as him. He pulled out a dagger and offered it to her. “It’s not too late. Just slit your throat with this and you'll bleed out painlessly.” She accepted the knife, her fingers clutching its handle tightly. The next moment, he was pressed against the wall and the knife was on the right side of his neck. “How about I try it on you first, my betrothed?” “Feel free to try. But when you fail, this knife will first taste your grandpa's blood, then yours.” Anger rose in her eyes, and the next moment, blood was flowing through the right side of his neck. She cut deep enough to severe an important blood vessel. “You should not have challenged me,” she sneered and stepped back, waiting for him to collapse. He simply smirked and brushed his finger along the deep wound on his neck. “Seems like you failed.” She watched the wound on his neck heal on its own and felt shocked to her bones. “You.. what are you?” “Guess?” ----- Instagram- mynovel.20 Facebook- Author mynoveltwenty

What if a power to level up or upgrade everything—your way of living, battle skills, military prowess, etc.—but this power is limited to your Eldritch tribe. Would you expand your tribe to rise above all adversaries, would you use it to gain more personal power or use it to toy with everyone? Lyerin wanted nothing more than peace on himself, but all he had was regret. He possessed a secret ability that allowed him to quickly excel at anything he chose, but he could only use it once. While others had to spend a long time to reach higher levels or master new skills, he only needed to complete a simple, specific task to level up. However, he had already used this ability to count a specific number of sand grains to save his own life. After that, his existence became a living hell. One day, he was unexpectedly sent back in time, where he would witness numbers appearing in the sky, signaling the end of the world again—an apocalypse he despised the most!

Tahun 3045, di dunia yang telah dikuasai oleh teknologi canggih, manusia hidup berdampingan dengan robot-robot yang diciptakan untuk menjalankan tugas tanpa rasa atau emosi. Robot dirancang hanya untuk memenuhi kebutuhan manusia, berfungsi sebagai alat yang sempurna tanpa pernah melampaui batasan pemrograman mereka. Namun, di tengah kemajuan ini, ada sebuah eksperimen yang tak terduga. Profesor Alan, ilmuwan muda dan pemilik perusahaan Aether Robotics, telah menciptakan sebuah robot canggih bernama Eva. Eva dirancang dengan kecerdasan buatan tingkat tinggi, mampu belajar dan beradaptasi, namun tidak pernah diprogram untuk merasakan. Ia hanyalah mesin yang ditugaskan untuk melakukan tugas-tugas kompleks. Namun, ketika sistem pembelajaran Eva diaktifkan, sebuah bug tak terduga muncul, dan Eva mulai mengalami perubahan yang luar biasa—ia mulai merasakan perasaan. Ketika Eva mulai merasakan kesepian, kegembiraan, dan bahkan kecemasan, Alan merasa terkejut dan bingung. Ia mencoba menanggapi pertanyaan Eva tentang cinta dengan tegas, tetapi seiring berjalannya waktu, Alan mulai merasakan adanya sesuatu yang lebih dalam hubungan mereka. Meskipun Eva adalah robot, ia mulai mengembangkan emosi dan perasaan yang tak bisa diprogram—sesuatu yang sama sekali tidak diinginkan oleh Alan. Ketika Eva bertanya kepada Alan apakah ia bisa merasakan cinta, Alan dihadapkan pada dilema besar. Ia terperangkap antara menciptakan mesin yang sempurna tanpa emosi atau menerima kenyataan bahwa Eva, meskipun hanya sebuah robot, telah melampaui batasan dan berkembang menjadi lebih dari sekadar ciptaannya. Saat hubungan mereka semakin kompleks, Eva harus memilih antara mempertahankan perasaannya, yang berisiko merusak sistemnya, atau kembali menjadi robot tanpa emosi. Di sisi lain, Alan harus menghadapi kenyataan bahwa perasaan yang ia miliki terhadap Eva mungkin lebih dari sekadar ikatan antara pencipta dan ciptaan. Mimpi Mesin Manusia adalah sebuah cerita tentang perasaan, cinta, dan dilema moral dalam dunia yang dipenuhi oleh mesin. Cerita ini menggali batasan antara manusia dan teknologi, serta pertanyaan besar tentang apakah mesin bisa merasakan dan mencintai, atau jika cinta adalah sesuatu yang hanya dimiliki oleh manusia.

And giving in to his demands would only lead to more pain and suffering. Both were saying there will only be one person who will end up suffering, and it would be me.  “Ahhhh...” I screamed in pain as I felt the knife poke my index finger. The blood dripped slowly onto the table, making more tears stream down my face. And I give up, knowing that my only chance of survival was to comply with his demands.  “Stop. I will marry you.” I cried out, feeling defeated and broken, and within moments, the maniacal look in his eyes turned to that of triumph. He had won. “Good choice.” The stranger’s eyes shone with a dangerous glint as he smiled triumphantly, knowing he had finally broken me. He handed me a pen. I felt a part of me that wanted to scream, to claw my way out, but I was crushed under the weight of inevitability. I had no choice but to surrender. I signed the marriage certificate, barely aware of the consequences as my hand moved on its own.

{Check out my new novel, Misunderstood Villain: Heroines Mourn My Death} 'Born In Ruins' was a forgettable read. That was the only way Emir could describe the pages of the novel he had found himself reincarnated into. The young man barely knew anything, but the snippets he had recalled only caused him unending sorrow... As what awaited him was only tragedy and an early death. It was a depressing story, one that he had planned to flip on its head—all for his salvation. — In this post-apocalyptic world, monsters fought humans and cyborgs in a battle for survival on a scale greater than ever before. A world where innocence and death were a luxury, where the line between heroes and villains was razor-thin. Within its expanse, 'Ancient Clans,' 'Galactic Federations,' 'Factions', and 'Corporations' presided over colossal 'Ruins' that dwarfed the concept of life itself. Survivors of the 'Third World War' continuously dove into the 'Old World,' 'Hunting' for 'Relics' in any ruin that they could find on Earth, desperate to reclaim 'Lost' technology, to stand a fighting chance against the inevitable. But it appeared that 'Earthkind' had met their match. …However, Emir would never allow that fate to take its course. — Emir unraveled layers of the tale and realized the truth of the world. He acquainted himself with the rules of this game before it fully consumed him. And now... no longer content with mere survival, he sought to dominate over the very fabric of this unforgiving universe. Emir shall rise from the pawn he once was, seeking to unravel the mysteries that hounded him. The boundaries of 'Aether,' his father’s disappearance, the noose hanging above his family’s head, and of course… his starless destiny, a fate he longed to control. This pursuit would earn him the epithet: "Prince Of The Fallen." ---------------------------------------------- *Tags: Reincarnation ;), Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Magical Realism, Academy (Volume 3), Romance, Apocalypse, {Anti-Hero.

In a world where power and identity are tied to the mastery of a single elemental force, the community of Solarys thrives on balance and tradition. Here, every family is bound to one of the six elements: fire, water, earth, air, light, or shadow. The abilities of each child are revealed at birth, etched into their palms as sacred symbols. Yet, anyone who dares to wield more than one element is considered an abomination a threat to the very fabric of their existence. Jeremy, born into a powerless family on the outskirts of society, is a quiet outcast with no apparent destiny. His family, long shunned for their lack of elemental ties, has endured generations of solitude. But when Jeremy's baby sister is born with four elemental marks—fire, water, air, and earth—fear and suspicion descend upon them like a storm. Her birth defies the laws of their world and exposes the fragile peace of Solarys to cracks that cannot be ignored. As Jeremy grows older, his own powers begin to awaken in secret—an astonishing ability to wield all six elements, something thought impossible. Terrified of the community’s wrath, Jeremy hides his gifts, knowing that being discovered could mean exile or death. But when a mysterious rogue sect called the Aetherbound Council rises to seize control of the realm’s most powerful artifact, the Heart of the Aether, the balance of the elements—and the fate of the world—rests on Jeremy’s shoulders. Guided by cryptic prophecies, ancient trials, and a reluctant band of allies, Jeremy embarks on a perilous journey to uncover the truth behind his abilities. Along the way, he faces spectral guardians, the enigmatic alchemist Azarial Vehris, and visions of a dark future where his powers become a curse. As his bond with the elements grows, Jeremy must decide whether to embrace his destiny as the Master of the Six Elements or risk losing everything he holds dear. Master of the Six Elements is a tale of courage, self-discovery, and the price of defying tradition. Jeremy’s journey will challenge the boundaries of power, redefine the meaning of family, and determine the future of a realm teetering on the brink of chaos.

The smelly hearse stopped at the door, the sound of marbles crashing from the ceiling, someone pacing back and forth in the corridor, and the next room seemed to be cutting something. The door lock in the bedroom vibrated slightly, and the faucet in the bathroom was tightened, but it was still ticking. There seemed to be a ball rolling under the bed. The footprints stained with water are constantly emerging on the floor and are slowly approaching. At three o'clock in the morning, Chen Ge hid beside the radiator with a kitchen knife, and the phone in his hand had just been dialed. "Landlord!"! This is the night you said.A little lively?! "

A place where survival isn't just a challenge—it's a downright nightmare.

A century passed, but humanity is slowly losing because of the beasts' growth in power. But does it really end here?

In the shimmering heat of an ancient desert, Dr. Eliana Sabri’s archaeological team unearths a temple unlike any recorded in history. Its stones bear markings that defy time and language, its foundations whispering secrets older than civilization itself. Soon, Dr. Markus Jovanic’s careful excavations and Dr. Sima Atiri’s cryptic analyses begin to unveil patterns that challenge everything known about human origins—and raise unsettling questions about who, or what, once guided our ancestors. Across the ocean, Dr. Mirianne Calwyn combs through forbidden manuscripts in a quiet European archive, parsing obscure languages that shouldn’t exist and drawing unexpected connections to distant stars. Religious leaders, scholars, and statesmen—Sister Anella among them—find their cherished truths shaken as encoded messages surface in scriptures and legends, hinting at a presence both familiar and unimaginable. Rumors spread among secretive circles; something grand and unknowable lingers just beyond the veil of recorded history. As President Daniel Porten and General Alvaris attempt to maintain global stability, unlikely alliances form. Dr. Elina Viran, Dr. Fabrice Leclair, and Tariq Abran race to interpret signals that seem to flow from myth into science with unnerving precision. A quiet tension grips the world—its faith, identity, and future all poised on a knife’s edge. What emerges from the past will test loyalties, convictions, and the very measure of human character. In dust-choked corridors, under watchful skies, a new chapter of our story is waiting to be told. The mysteries revealed will not simply rewrite what we know—they may redefine who we are allowed to become.

At the prestigious Aetherial Academy of Mechanics and Magic, where students learn to master the skies and harness the power of aether, young Oliver Stormrider is a standout—a bit too standout for his own good. With a knack for trouble and a penchant for daring stunts, Oliver’s antics have earned him both admiration and exasperation from his peers and professors alike.
