Ben Stein Casper

The Illusion of Terror

In the vibrant heart of a bustling city, five friends—Aiden, Ben, Chloe, Danny, and Emily—navigate the complexities of their lives. Each faces their own struggles, from family expectations and personal passions to tumultuous love lives and deep insecurities. They find solace in each other's company. Their lives take a dark turn one stormy night when they gather at Ben's old, creaky house. As they reminisce, a sudden blackout plunges them into darkness, unveiling malevolent spirits that inhabit the house. Each friend encounters horrifying apparitions that reflect their deepest fears. Determined to uncover the source of the hauntings, they split up and face their personal nightmares. Aiden confronts a ghostly figure of his strict father, Ben is chased by a spirit feeding on his passion, Chloe faces a vengeful ghost from her past, Danny encounters a phantom embodying his failures, and Emily is tormented by a specter of her deepest fears. In the chaos, Aiden and Emily discover a hidden diary in the attic, revealing that the house's previous owner, a sorcerer, created the spirits to torment those who entered. The sorcerer, controlling the house from beyond the grave, had trapped the friends in a nightmarish game to feed off their fears and weaknesses. Together, the friends confront the sorcerer in a fierce battle, ultimately overcoming the malevolent spirits. As the illusion shatters, they realize their experiences were not entirely real, but the emotional scars remain. The ordeal leaves them forever changed, having faced their deepest fears and emerged stronger. In the aftermath, they piece together the final clues from the diary and learn that the sorcerer's true intent was to teach them a lesson about their inner strength. The spirits were manifestations of their own fears, manipulated by the sorcerer to help them find their true potential. With newfound clarity, the friends vow to support each other and face life's challenges head-on

GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.

Dungeon Hunter: Morphmaster

In a world transformed by dungeons and mutations, most people have gained extraordinary powers or unique racial traits. But a boy name Hugo Icelandra is different—he's a powerless human, lacking both abilities and the advantages of mutated races. With no strength to speak of, he’s overshadowed by his talented family and mocked by peers for daring to dream of becoming a Hunter. That all changes when Hugo’s father gifts him the Megatrix, an advanced device capable of transforming him into superior versions of other species. Armed with this revolutionary technology, Hugo takes his first step into the Hunter High Academy, determined to prove his worth. However, the path to greatness is fraught with peril. Hugo must survive deadly trials, face his old bullies, and earn the respect of his peers—all while learning to master the Megatrix and discovering his own inner strength. Along the way, he encounters an unlikely group of allies, including a silver-haired sharpshooter, a fiery dark elf, and a gravity-wielding half-dragon. Together, they’ll uncover secrets that could reshape the very foundations of their world. In a world where power defines status, Hugo’s journey is a testament that ingenuity, resilience, and hard work can surpass even the greatest natural gifts. ---- This novel is loosely inspired by the concept of shape-shifting tech and super-powered transformations, kind of like if Ben-10 went to a dungeon, got a makeover, and swapped the Omnitrix for a wrist gadget with some extra flair. Totally not a copy, just a fun twist on the idea!

Arcadia— Heroes Of Relics

Updates every 10:00PM UTC+7 Centuries ago, a mysterious meteor descended upon the Earth. Instead of wiping all life forms on the planet, it terraformed the Earth, transforming both living and non-living things alike. This event was called the Great Meteor Fall. Monsters and Beasts appeared and proliferated on the land, causing a shift to the ordinary lifestyle people once knew. Humans also underwent changes thanks to the meteor. Some were granted supernatural powers, and some were granted strength. With these changes, mankind concluded that life will never be the same. The rise of adventurers and guilds was only a few things brought about by the change. Those who wielded great power became prominent figures. But this was just the beginning. The ground zero of the meteor, where it descended, became the territory of a powerful entity known as the Dark One. No one knew where he came from, but rumors said he was inside the meteor when it landed. The energy levels in ground zero were so potent that an average human wouldn't be able to survive it. As such, only high-ranking adventurers could enter it with great difficulty and survive. However, no one came close to the fortress of the dark One, built on top of the meteor itself. As years passed, the monsters and beasts became more powerful, and the adventurers struggled to keep up. But there was no real threat. The Dark One didn't seem to care for Earth's inhabitants, or maybe he was in deep slumber, awaiting his awakening before he invaded Earth. It was foretold, however, that the Dark One was close to awakening, and the powerful monsters and beasts were a clear sign of it. Backed into a corner, the countries were forced to rely on forbidden technology to combat the upcoming invasion. Messing with the space-time continuum, mankind was able to summon influential and powerful people from the past. They became known as Heroes of Relics. These heroes partied up and became Earth's last line of defense against the oncoming invasion. Albrecht Stein was part of the Heroes of Relics. However, he was kicked out of the party since they no longer needed a porter. His only particular skill was spatial storage space, and he was just an additional headcount, so they kicked him out. Just like the other Heroes, he was transported to the future with the sole purpose of defeating the Dark One. But now that his purpose was gone, he decided to live a quiet life in the countryside. That is until the final countdown was issued, and the world's destruction drew near.
