Silas Backstory

Nagkita muli ang magkaibigang si Justine at Jude matapos ang ilang taon. Samahan sila sa kanilang pag-iikot sa Cubao habang bumabalik ang mga ala-ala, emosyon at tanong na matagal na nilang tinatago sa isa't isa. "...there are times that you have to ask the tough questions kung iyon lang ang paraan para makapag-move-on ka. Kapag naipon iyon sa puso mo, mabubulok lang at baka magka-cancer ka pa." - Jude

Since Dungeons began appearing around the world, things have changed. They are every single being on the planet, from the plants to the animals to the humans. The world has evolved, letting dungeons alter the genetics of humans, giving some of them abilities and powers that no ordinary person would have. These abilities were called magic, and the ability to use them or even control them was called having mana. Almost 80% of the world’s population has gotten this ability. When a person who awakens their magic is seen, he or she will be taken for evaluation. To see their strength, there were strong and dangerous warriors who had to be used to keep the dungeon at bay and make sure that nothing happened to the world. In the midst of all this chaos, Darius Winters, a typical loser trying to make sure he would make enough money to pay for his sister's treatment joins a guild on a raid. Where his life is changed, Darius gains a powerful system and he is able to get stronger than he was, the system makes him potentially the strongest warrior in the city. But he chooses to hide from the spotlight and take care of his sister. But how long can he keep up with that?

Nature is fair—it follows fixed rules and remains impartial regardless of race, age or gender. Natural selection is something which all living things must face and humans are no exception. Silas was only fourteen when he lost his parents to the brutal orc bandit raids. For years, he worked in the field just to provide for himself and his sister, Ruth. Life was going smooth and there was hope for the future, and then the raiders came back. They tried to run like other villagers, but they were hunted down like animals by the raiders. Silas fought with all his might but was fatally injured. Half-dead, he was forced to watch the orc butcher his sister while she screamed his name for help. Pain, grief and anger overwhelmed him. Why is the world so cruel to me? I know bad things happen, but why always me? Why did they have to Kill Ruth? She's only 12 for God’s sake! {What if I give you the power to fight back?} I will make them run like they made me! I will butcher their children and women like they did to mine! I won't stop until every single one of them are dead! {What if I tell you the earth and the heavens are responsible for your misfortune?} Even if the earth gathers and the heaven descends; I will fight! {Welcome to the fold, Sin of Wrath... Be wary of every one, especially other members of the 7 deadly sins... The battle for succession amongst the seven princes of hell is unforgiving and ruthless!} ------ So I decided to ignore my health and attempt to write all three books covering the sins of pride, lust and wrath. I may burn out, or run mad midway, or succeed. So yeah, I'll take the chance. Like I said in the other books, I haven't created a discord community before, so it may take me a while to set one up. Be patient with me, okay? Wish me luck and thank you for your support!

"It's not just a game, it's a living breathing world and we are his puppets." Teo barked. With the beta version of the new game now finished, the beta testers wait for the official launch of the game. With the official launch of the game more people are sucked into its virtual world, what sets Neon Solaris apart from other games is it's unique party system. With only the beta testers knowing the horrors the games provide, uncertainty grows. Death in the game could also mean death in the real world. What started as a massive multiplayer game becomes a prison created by a sadistic being. Matteo finished the beta tester as the top ranked player- NOBLE ZERO, but even he failed to get a grasp of it's true reality. Clearing the final level might be the only way out of the game and he is intent on building the strongest party and reach the final level at all costs and achieve the title of master gamer. A/N: This book relies on gaming elements and diverse character developments as well as a unique party system. If you are tired of simple mmorpg books then this might be a good read. There might also be some light humour and some other elements like darker plots and tragic backstories. Also the MC is not overpowered or a hero, he is a somewhat sadistic antihero. I will be trying my best to make this book the best it can be.

Silas Kane, the wealthiest and most feared man in the country, built his fortune through illegal gold mining, corruption and ruthless ambition. A man without a past, at least not one anyone can trace. He operates in the shadows, controlling an empire where fear is law and loyalty is bought with gold. But his power is threatened when Governor Elias Morrow, a fearless politician, launches an investigation into the country’s missing gold reserves and determined to expose the truth behind Kane’s empire. As the walls begin to close in, Silas’s carefully constructed world starts to crumble. His wife, Celeste, begins to uncover the dark secrets of his past while his closest allies grow uncertain of their loyalty. With enemies gathering both inside and outside his empire, Silas must decide whether to crush those who stand against him or risk everything he has built. But as his mother once warned him, “Gold can be heavy. Too heavy to carry alone.” And in the end, the weight of his past may be the one thing even he cannot escape.

Silas was not like other omegas; he was stronger than them and feared no one. This was because he couldn't feel the pheromones of alphas, but his mate rejected him on his 18th birthday and accepted his stepbrother instead. Silas decided to leave the pack, but just then, something terrible happened, and he ended up in the hands of their rival pack. There, he reunited with his long-lost brother, who was dearly loved by the four alpha brothers of that pack. But what will happen when Silas starts to feel the mate bond with those four brothers? --------------------------------- "Your eyes are the most beautiful," said a handsome alpha and my boss, who was my brother's mate. I didn't want to feel anything for him, it was wrong. "Stay away from me," I pushed him away. But still, he came closer and started sniffing my scent near my neck. When I looked up, I saw my brother standing at the door, watching us. --------------------------- in this story mc is -Strong omega -confident -overprotective -stubborn -savage

November 17th. A day that should have been ordinary became the day the world fell apart. The Collapse—a disaster unlike any other—destroyed over 80% of the population in a single stroke. Entire cities were reduced to ruins, the rules of nature were rewritten, and strange, otherworldly forces began to seep into the cracks of reality. Those who survived were left to navigate a world where power comes at a price, and despair looms around every corner. Silas Grayson was a man who always preferred the background, someone who never sought the limelight. But when the Collapse shattered the world, it shattered Silas’s quiet existence, too. Now, in a reality that demands action, he must navigate a landscape where ruins grant strange Authorities, rulers thrive on corruption, and whispers of beings far beyond human understanding begin to surface. As he ventures deeper into this harsh new world, Silas clings to hope—a fragile, flickering light in the darkness. But when despair threatens to crush even that, he must grapple with the question: How does a man hold on to hope in a world that seems designed to take it away? The Collapse didn’t just destroy the world—it created a new one. And surviving it will demand more than Silas ever thought he could give.

"Broken World" by Lapis L. Lazuli. --Timeframe: 2097. --Stage: Kowareta Sekai Island, Pacific Ocean, Earth. "Broken World" is set on Kowareta Sekai Island, a mysterious place where inhabitants are trapped by a barrier that prevents them from leaving. The island is divided into districts controlled by powerful clans, each with unique abilities derived from a special energy called KAN (Keino Area Notice). The story follows Felix Fletcher, a former juvenile delinquent who seeks to escape the island and explore the world beyond. Felix's journey begins after his release from a correctional center, where he reunites with his family and best friend, Damian Denver. However, his life takes a dramatic turn when Michaelis Miller, leader of the powerful Emo-Jin Empire, attempts to kill him. This event sets off a chain of battles and alliances as Felix forms his own war clan, the Fletcher Clan: Remastered, to counter the threats against him. As the story unfolds, Felix faces numerous challenges, including a massive bounty on his head and a complex web of clan politics. He discovers that his father, Frederick Fletcher, is behind the bounty and seeks to create a ruthless warrior lineage. This revelation leads to a climactic battle where Felix and his allies confront his father. Throughout the narrative, Felix's character evolves significantly, particularly after the tragic loss of Damian, who is later resurrected in a surprising twist. The story also explores themes of power, loyalty, and the true nature of the island's barrier, which begins to crumble at the end, hinting at larger mysteries to be uncovered in future volumes. The narrative is enriched by a diverse cast of characters, each with their own motivations and backstories, and is narrated primarily by President Raegan Ricardo Rodrigo, with occasional shifts to first-person perspectives and interventions from an omniscient AI named Shatter A.I. Overall, "Broken World" is a gripping tale of survival, friendship, and self-discovery set against a backdrop of magical powers and clan warfare. ("Broken World" is the third book in The "What is Humanity?/Lapis L. Lazuli" Lore and the first novel of the four-part "Broken World" Novel Series by Lapis L. Lazuli).

ON HIATUS!!! THE AUTHOR CAN'T UPDATE IT FOR NOW. All I wanted was a simple life: love, shelter, food, my hobby of motorcycling. But fate granted me wealth and power, shackling my freedom. Forced into a life of social expectations and heir training, I obeyed for my family's honor and my love for them as Honor and Pride were unshaken pillars of my family. Despite not being strict, they didn't mess around with traditions. To me, they were my heroes, pillars of kindness. Yet the very target of their kindness, the people they saved and protected, became the ones who burned them to their death. Betrayal tore them from me, shattering the good heart they cultivated in me and plunging me into darkness. Only one question left: What do I do!? Revenge!! That's what my heart shouted at me as my heart turned cold. Can I reclaim the heroism they instilled in me, or am I destined to become the villain that grew within me? __________ This novel might have slower or faster pacing in some places. The first volume focuses more on the MC's backstory. The villain's acts and deceptions will be in the second volume. Regarding romance, I haven't added a tag yet. Let's see how the story goes and whether there's a need for romance. I'm still new to writing, so please bear with me. Tell me your suggestions via comments. Thank you!

Julius didn’t know what to expect when he stood in front of the grandiose gates, luscious fields, and beautiful students dressed in their pristine uniforms looking like a million bucks. He told himself that he wouldn’t get involved with anyone and that he’d keep his head down since the chances of him moving again were quite high. He didn’t expect to find himself to be so entranced with the dorm leader Agares Montgomery, the most handsome boy he’d ever seen. “So what’s Agares really like?” Julius asked. Silas grinned mischievously. “That’s a tough one.” Julius noticed the sly smile on Silas’s face and realized he’d been teased. “Just kidding~” Silas said, chuckling. “Well, Agares is a bit of a mystery. He’s strict but has a laid-back side too. He’s cold most of the time but can be surprisingly kind in rare moments?” Julius couldn’t help but laugh at the contradictory description. “Why do you make it sound like you’re unsure?” “Because he really is a puzzle. He’s not a bad guy, though. He keeps to himself and mainly communicates through the vice leader, Epaphras. He’s insanely popular, not just here but at Saint Ambracia Academy too. There have been incidents where girls from the academy tried to sneak into East Laurence just to see him. It’s crazy.” “Anyway,” Silas said, “you probably won’t interact with him much unless absolutely necessary, so don’t stress too much about it.” That should’ve been the case, and yet, he found himself interacting with the dark haired boy more and more, his admiration slowly started to change into something more. “Do I like him?” He couldn’t help but ask himself. ………………….. Avondale, a city of privilege and prestige, high school junior Julius Loriana steps through the grand gates of East Laurence Preparatory School, a renowned institution for the elite. Having spent years moving from city to city due to his father's job, he’s determined to keep his distance and stay under the radar in this new chapter of his life. But everything changes when he crosses paths with Agares Montgomery, the enegmatic dorm leader of House Ares. With his striking looks and effortless charm, Agares captivates Julius in ways he never expected. As Julius grapples with his resolve to remain detached, he finds himself drawn into a whirlwind of emotions that transforms his mundane existence into something exhilarating. Follow the love story between a shy boy and his socially inept senior as they navigate through the pains of love, friendship and the hell that is known as high school. …………………………… A little extra note: This is a sweet love story, a bit of a slow burn but definitely worth getting into.. Each chapter includes a song and I would definitely recommend you listen to the song (on low volume of course) while reading. You get to feel the full Julius Loriana experience by listening to the music he’s also listening to with each chapter.

(my fuel is readers support, please support me in this journey for wsa 2025 (⁠＾⁠∇⁠＾⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠♪ will have regular update in next month and wont lock early) Silas knew that being born as an omega meant his life wouldn't have many choices—unless you came from a privileged family, where your trait didn't matter and you could live comfortably. When a baron adopted him, Silas saw a glimmer of hope and vowed to repay the man he called father. However, though it was better than life in the orphanage, Silas knew he would never truly belong to the family. He was groomed to obey, and his adoptive father planned to use him to expand connections with noble families. As he grew older, his father repeatedly offered him in marriage to the son of a grand duke, an alpha, only to be rejected every single time. Eventually, just before the grand duke's son left for military service, his father received an answer: the grand duke's son agreed to the connection—but only on the condition that Silas would be a consort. It wasn't uncommon for alphas to have multiple consorts, though it wasn't what Silas desired. Still, as an omega, this was the only way he could repay the baron's kindness. * Silas remembered what Alric was like back when they were at the academy. Cold, quiet, and someone who despised omegas. He knew what kind of fate awaited him and gave up on the kind of love he often read about in books. After all, real life wasn't the same as the fantasies penned by writers. Instead, Silas decided to prepare himself for decorating the "cage" he would live in—a life filled with the constant refrain of "at least, at least, at least." He would get used to it. He had to. But something felt different. Why was Alric treating him so differently now compared to the way he had back in school? Alric's eyes were filled with a tenderness and sorrow that Silas couldn't understand. It was the kind of look that made Silas want to hold him close. — (Read the info for more additions)

A World Without Reflections is a novel steeped in Eastern fantasy and Dark Souls-like desolation, following Chael, a young warrior chief who returns to a home to see that his clansmen are nothing but frozen and soulless husks. Their voices are gone and the fires are cold. They still stand, but they do not live. And somewhere beyond the frost and silence, unseen hands pull at fate’s threads. ///// "I had fought before. I had bled before. But this was different. This was madness. One moment, I was sat on my throne, ruling my clansmen and the next… I'm met with a graveyard of empty eyes and frozen faces. And now these mongrels hunt me through the storm, blades drawn and their voices sharp with laughter. Echoes in the snow continue to call out to me as I drown in snow and steel. Were they guiding me? Or had I already lost my mind?" ///// WHAT TO EXPECT: • Dark and desolate atmostphere (heavily inspired by Dark Souls). • Struggling protagonist. Chael will earn his victories through skill, intellegence and power progression - and along the way, he will lose many times. • ALL notable characters will be complex and have unique character traits, philosophies and backstories. • A unique power system inspired by Xianxia. • Very lore-rich and intricate world-building. • Slow-burn romance subplot. • LOTS of mysteries and plot-twists. Almost all subplots will be infused with some kind of mystery. • Multiple layers of character development for Chael (who starts off as a cynical young man who lost what little purpose he had) and many other characters.

In a world not too different from our own, humanity stirs from its slumber to the sound of the Awakening. Picture this: one sunny morning, everyone pours their coffee, only to discover that their favorite house pet has morphed into a fire-breathing dragon. Yep, it's that kind of day. This peculiar phenomenon brings mana—a whimsical, binding energy that makes the wildest dreams (and nightmares) come alive. Ordinary plants sprout fangs, while cats take to the skies as sleek griffins. It’s a magical pandemonium out there! Amidst this unexpected transformation, some creatures we've only seen in bedtime stories are crashing the party like they own the place. Dragons are zooming through the skies, and leviathans are throwing epic ocean raves, shaking the depths of the seas. But there's always a catch, right? Sadly, these creatures, now strutting their stuff, seem to think humans are more of a nuisance than a treat. Imagine trying to explain to a dragon that you’re not a threat; it might be a tough sell after your last encounter involved a singed eyebrow. Enter our unlikely hero, or rather, anti-hero: Kael Ravencrest. This chap was once a reclusive scholar, deeply engrossed in dusty tomes, probably muttering about the good old days when monsters were merely figments of imagination. But lo and behold! The Awakening kicks him into high gear, and he morphs from bookworm to badass. Armed with the nifty skill of summoning, Kael can call forth powerful creatures. Let’s be real, it’s like Pokémon on steroids. However, life isn’t just about flexing your new powers—Kael's backstory features a cocktail of personal losses and emotional baggage that would make even the toughest of toughies weep. He's seen his home charred to cinders by a rampaging hydra, a once-believed myth that now insists on hosting BBQs in the middle of civilization. The kicker? He’s haunted by dreams of a lost city and whispers of an ancient prophecy that may just hold the key to humanity finding its footing—if it doesn’t get stepped on by a troll first. As he grapples with the oncoming chaos, Kael teeters on the edge of despair and hope. Is there a way for humans and fantastical beings to share this enchanted playground, or are we all just destined to crumble under the wings of a dragon? Only time—and perhaps a couple of well-placed summoning spells—will tell. So, raise your coffee cups and prepare for a rollercoaster ride through ancient lore and contemporary calamity, because Kael is about to make history… or, you know, rewrite it with a flourish.

Facing the imminent danger of a demon invasion, the Prazia kingdom establishes orphanages to uncover hidden talents among its populace. Lena, now known as Lava, is reincarnated as a dragon and becomes an orphan after her mother goes missing. However, not every fantasy world is filled with raw plot armor. Reality can be difficult, and Lava is not immune to being a pawn in the plans of others. Features a unique word-based magic system, no skills or levels. ----- Sorry for how slow burning and random the beginning chapters are, I just kind of made up plausible nonsense to keep the story flowing. It wasn't until about ch.23 where inspiration struck and the story really started to pick up speed. The main reason things started so slow is that I don't like writing highly unlikely events to drive plot like an mc saving someone that just happens to be a noble. Keep in mind this has a more realistic theme than most isekai stories, even with power mc is not untouchable and actually has to make difficult choices. Sometimes, reality can be dark. It's also not a wake up as a dragon and then fight endless monsters kind of story either, I felt that was already done too many times and chose to go for a more intrigue and life themed story. This is my first work, and I think it's rather good for a first story. Trying to develop my writing style on this. First chapters might come off as kind of rushed, I didn't spend much time on backstory and what happened to her mother I just kind of rushed mc to her new family and that really came back on me later on in the story.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, especially when that woman was a mother.

Every villain has a backstory—a tragic loss, a moment of rejection, or a life tainted by hardship. They are shaped by the cruelty of the world, pushed to the edge by a string of misfortunes. But not me. I am not a product of circumstance or suffering. I am the villain by 'choice'. I have no excuse, no sob story to explain my path. I embrace it because it is my dream, my desire, my rebellion against the predictable, the expected. I do not need a reason to be dark—I choose this. And that, in itself, makes me dangerous.

College student and gaming fantastic Silas discovers a broken piece of code in an otherworldly video game. What he discovers will make sure he never lives a normal life again.

CEO. Tyrant. Supreme Ruler of the Corporate World. Silas Grimshaw had it all—power, wealth, and the unshakable belief that he was the good guy. He was appointed CEO of his father’s company after his sudden death, and his methods were ruthless. If he had to make a few people’s lives a living hell to climb to the top, so be it. After all, it was all for the greater good, right? But, when someone finally decided to take revenge for the countless lives he’d crushed beneath his heel, Silas met a brutal and well-deserved end. And that's when things took a weird turn. Silas wakes up in a new world, only to find himself trapped in a FAVORABILITY SYSTEM. His mission? Make the protagonist of each world like him. The catch? The protagonist always hates his guts. The second catch? If he fails, the protagonist will brutally kill him, and he’ll be flung into an even worse nightmare world. Now, forced into an endless loop of blood, terror, and constantly being hated, Silas must use every underhanded trick in his book to win the favor of each new protagonist—whether it’s manipulation, charm, or sheer intimidation. After all, how hard could it be to make someone adore him? (Answer: Excruciatingly hard.) But Silas is determined to win, no matter the cost. Even if it means smiling through the suffering, hugging his would-be killer, or systematically removing every other love interest, he will reach 100%. Because Silas Grimshaw is a good person. Right?
