Phantom World

Hope Lauren has read her share of comics. She’s seen supers around her city and even been saved by some on occasion. And she always hoped that she’d be able to join them.  With Jack, her grizzled older mentor with secrets that could shake the world, and Pantheon, a new team of heroes, Hope will have to fight against monumental odds to save Oleander City.  In a world of action, comedy, tragedy, and adventure, there’s plenty for a new hero to do. *Readers can expect a mostly adventure-themed superhero journey that will include a slice of life, action, and hopefully exciting world-building. It will also contain a slow-burn GL/Yuri plotline, which I'll eventually get to when I feel like it, I guess. This will be a very long story with many arcs* New chapter every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Want to buy me a sandwich? Send me some money! https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/ChaseWard2020

**Contains Some Triggers - See Below** In a world where loyalty is everything, how do you know who to trust? At twelve years old, Alexis was taken in by the notorious Blackthorn gang after losing her family. Raised among criminals, she learned to suppress her softer side to survive in their harsh world. Now seventeen, she’s known as the Blackthorn Princess - a title that signifies both her belonging and the heavy price she’s paid for it. When an arranged marriage to Dillan, the son of a rival gang leader, is proposed to strengthen alliances, Alexis reluctantly agrees. But Dillan is not what he seems. Beneath his charming exterior lies the Phantom - a masked figure determined to destroy the Blackthorns from within, driven by a thirst for vengeance tied to his family’s tragic past. As Alexis and Dillan grow closer, their connection blurs the lines between love and betrayal. When secrets unravel and loyalties are tested, Alexis must decide where her true allegiance lies - with the family who raised her or the boy who’s stolen her heart. But in a world fuelled by revenge and power, love may not be enough to save them both.

In a world where technology is both a weapon and a secret, Anon is not just another engineering student. Beneath his quiet, unassuming facade lies a hidden mastermind—a hacker, a builder, a creator. Fueled by loneliness and an insatiable curiosity, he spends his nights in the forgotten basement of his home, piecing together something no one has ever dared to dream of: an AI so human-like, so perfect, that she blurs the line between synthetic and real. But creation is only the beginning. As his AI partner comes to life, Anon’s world expands beyond the basement. His skills in hacking, engineering, and manipulation pull him into the shadows of society—where power, secrets, and beautiful women await. From elite hackers to corporate spies, from childhood friends to dangerous strangers, Anon finds himself at the center of a growing storm. Some seek his technology. Others seek his heart. With a mind that sees patterns others miss and an ambition that knows no limits, Anon is no longer just a boy in a basement. He is becoming something more—something unstoppable. But power comes with a price. In a world where trust is a currency and love is both a weapon and a weakness, will Anon rise as a hidden king… or will he be consumed by the very world he is trying to shape?

What if a man dies and wake up in a different world where he is immortal but with a curse. The man don't know about the world and himself. Don't think these novel as other isekai in which the main character is overpowered from the starting. The main character tries to solve the mystery of this world but meet that being which no main character has ever meet. The world is bigger than the main character's expectation, there is no human except him, there is no such thing as life but only death.

When a seemingly golden coin falls into the hands of a boy, his life takes a terrifying turn. The coin, cursed by a long-forgotten evil demon , unleashes a wave of supernatural horrors, twisting reality and endangering those closest to him.

In a world where the unseen weaves fate and power is both a blessing and a curse, the awakened are called Phantoms—warriors bound to the spirits, their strength the only shield between humanity and annihilation. Long ago, when the Wraithborn first descended—eldritch horrors that slithered from the void beyond existence—humanity stood at the edge of ruin. The skies darkened, cities crumbled, and no blade nor bullet could harm these spectral abominations. Then came the First Call—whispers from the Spiritscape, a realm beyond mortal comprehension. Those who heard it awakened as phantoms, wielding power borrowed from spirits unseen, pushing back the darkness and carving the first fragile dawn of survival. But survival had a price. Phantoms became the weapons of the world. The Regency regulated the phantoms, dictating their purpose: to fight or be discarded. Yet among them stood the Crowned Phantoms, legends of their kind, those who had ascended beyond the ordinary, commanding the Spiritscape with unrivaled mastery. They were kings among warriors, epitomes of power, the history of the ones revered. Countless yearned to be crowned, to stand above all, to forge their names in eternity. Kael Veyne wanted none of it. Awakened at the age of three—far too young, far too dangerous—Kael understood what others refused to see. Power was not glory. Power was chained. The world loved its heroes when they won but discarded them the moment they failed. He watched as Phantoms bled, as the Regency dictated their lives, as those who sought greatness were crushed under the weight of expectation. So he made a choice. He hid. For years, he lived in the shadows, using his power only to protect himself, refusing to be another cog in the machine. He wanted a quiet life, a life that was his. But fate is never kind to those who defy it. A single moment—an unseen ripple in the fabric of destiny—threatens to unravel everything. The Wraithborn are changing stronger, and no longer bound by the laws that once held them back. The Spiritscape stirs, its whispers louder than ever. The Regency is watching. And in the depths of the unseen world, an ancient prophecy murmurs of an emperor who walks between realms, commanding the spirits themselves. Kael has spent his life running from the inevitable. But when the tide rises and the world begins to shift, when all eyes turn toward him—will he remain a ghost in the crowd… or will the Spirit Emperor rise?

"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 "WORLD" Novel Series by Lapis L. Lazuli).
