Why does the Administration fear them? Why is the world watching them? And what the hell is Kun really becoming? This is not just a war. This is annihilation. And when the dust settles, one question remains: Who will still be standing?

Selene Veyne, a Whiteborn witch, stands out among them all—an unsettling reminder of the one he hunts. Her silver hair ignites a fury he cannot control, and hatred coils around him like a viper, urging him to destroy her before she unravels his already fractured soul. But the more he pushes her away, the deeper fate entangles them. Will she escape the torment he subjects her to? Or is she the key to unraveling the mystery that binds him to death itself? Betrayal, vengeance, and forbidden power await in the shadows of Valthorne.

In a world where the gifted are bound to fate and have their spirits called forth in a cruel ceremony at the age of thirteen, she is unique. She calls, but no spirit responds. She is not claimed by any path. But rather than being called forth, a beast is born from her blood, her fear, and the echoes of something long forgotten. It is not like the strong creatures that fight alongside the others; it is weak and unfinished. Long-buried forces start to resurface as rumours of her existence spread. There was a reason her path was erased. There should be nothing at her side. And if she keeps walking this road, she may unearth secrets that could unravel the world itself.

The end for a person is death, but what, then, is the end of death itself?

In a cosmos where gods and Archons dictate the flow of fate, one man defies destiny itself. Kael Ardyn awakens in the Abyss—a man who should not exist, marked by a sigil that defies reality itself. With no past and only fragmented memories of another life, he soon learns the truth: his very presence is an anomaly, a mistake the universe seeks to erase. Hunted by cosmic forces and entities beyond comprehension, Kael discovers a power unlike any other—a magic that can rewrite existence. But it comes with a condition. The more he wields it, the closer he comes to annihilation. To survive, he does not seek honor. He seeks control. Manipulation, deception, and ambition become his weapons as he infiltrates kingdoms, shatters alliances, and bends even the strongest of heroes to his will. When he sets his sights on the hero’s beloved, a forbidden romance becomes a dangerous game of power and desire. Yet in the shadows lurks something even more terrifying—an entity that whispers of Kael’s true purpose. The Archons fear him. The balance trembles. And as the gods hesitate, Kael takes what is his, one piece at a time. For if fate rejects him, he will become fate itself.

Eon Cassareth has lived for over a thousand years, not as an all-powerful being, but as a man cursed with absolute regeneration. No matter how many times he is cut down, burned, crushed, or erased, his existence is inevitable. Time has given him knowledge, experience, and an unshakable confidence, yet he remains a mere human—immortal, but powerless. That changes when an unknown entity, beyond the laws of omnipotence, chooses him for its own amusement. The "Unique God" system binds itself to Eon, declaring him the sole candidate for divinity. But there’s a condition: in every world he visits, he must be recognized as its one true god. Whether through fear, devotion, or raw domination, he must make them kneel. Eon embraces this twisted fate with a grin. If the world will not give him power, he will take it. He will make people worship him, bend them to his will, and break those who refuse. No morality, no limits. If absolute power exists, he will seize it—one world at a time.

This is the tale of a man who committed a crime in his lands. He touched Ars and awakened. The leader, in his fury, sent him for his death, but before Charles could process what happened to him or what his power means, a Corrupted Eruption occurred, and the entity Ars chose him as a Challenger. He was given the chance to keep his life, but perhaps death would serve him better than to participate in the worst of the games, manipulated by the hands of his majesty, the one behind the curtains. There, on an island, he would face the darkest of humans and wicked creatures, and to win the game as the sole participant, he would need more than his will and newfound powers. --- What to expect? - You can check the bestiary, characters and map here: https://fear.travelerspentales.com/ - The world is the same as in my other novel, Traveler’s Will. Named Ars. So if you want to understand Awakening, Ars and Eruption better, please check out the main novel. - The MC is an adult. Smart and know how to read people. - First Person Point Of View (my first try). My other novel is Third Person Point of View. - Dark Grim Settings: If you enjoy Dark Souls, Berserk, and Cosmic Horror, then you may enjoy it. - Philosophy and Psychology: I’m a huge fan of Dostoiévski and Robert Musil. While this isn’t the focus, you can expect some snippets about existential turmoil and psychological introspection. - Unique System, known as ‘Ars System.'. Light LitRPG elements included, such as window. - Fast plot with lots of battles against creatures and other people. - No harem. - Not a “huge” story. I aim for about 90 chapters. But if it got readers and I enjoy it, I can continue expanding the story. - Chapter length around 1.5~2.5k words. - Release rate: 2–3 a week. I must be done with it until near the end of the year. - My main focus is still my other novel, Traveler’s Will, so if you want to read more of the Ars World, please give it a chance. It’s a slow-burn fantasy with the first arc already completed.
