A nameless man finds himself in the void, surrounded by other souls lining up behind him. He doesn’t know where he is or how he got there. All he knows is that he’s dead. There, he meets Edix, the god of punishment, who judges souls based on the sins they committed in life. It doesn’t take long for Edix to condemn him. Souls bound to a life of suffering, he claims, must have earned their fate. But what if they hadn’t? Like him—sentenced to an eternity as a slave in the mines of another world. Unlike the others, who quietly accept their punishment out of fear of the gods, he refuses to bow. He isn’t afraid to defy the gods, to fight against their cruelty, and to change this broken world. He doesn’t just want freedom—he wants power. In short, he wants to become a god.

"Right now, you're the best version of yourself. 'Why?' Because... You're alive." ________________________ Humanity is on the brink of a new era. Freedom is a luxury, one that is becoming scarce, and when faced with it all, does the world need a liberator? Or a person who finds that freedom themself? Karlos Lippe is a young man who's forced by fate to dance to that question. Having his monotonous yet fulfilling life stripped from him, he travels with a silver haired companion to seek out belonging in a tumultous world entering Industrial Revolution. Dotting the lands like stars in the night sky, Luminaries are those who have harnessed the power of constellations, Psyche. Their use of strange powers, Talismans, Catalysts, Alchemy, Ideals, and other magical nonsense creates a web of conflict that entangles the pair and their journey. When that happens, try to follow them. Because at the core of it all, this story is about perspective. So it's up to you to decide how to perceive it.

In the ancient magical kingdom of Luminaris, a forgotten book of unimaginable power lies hidden in the ruins of Leverko, a once-prosperous city destroyed by a mysterious curse. The book is said to hold the secrets to unlocking the kingdom's greatest magic—and its darkest truths.

--- **AFTER BOOK** *Karya Luciel Veronica* "Kata-kata adalah arwah, dan buku ini adalah pusara bagi yang tak bisa melarikan diri." Di balik jendela kaca yang retak, matahari senja terjerat debu, merayapi rak-rak buku yang berdiri seperti makam bisu. Perpustakaan itu, sunyi dan terlupakan, menyerupai rongga dada tua yang hanya berisi bisikan-bisikan waktu. Di lorong terkelamnya, tersembunyi sebuah buku—tak bernama, tak bernyawa, namun tetap berbisik. Alea tak pernah mencari buku itu. Ia bahkan tak seharusnya ada di sana—di tengah udara dingin yang menggigit kulit seperti gigi hantu, di bawah cahaya lampu yang berkedip seakan ketakutan. Tapi ketika tangannya menyentuh sampulnya yang dingin, seolah-olah buku itu bernafas di genggamannya, halaman-halamannya mulai bergerak. Namanya terukir di tinta hitam yang berdenyut seperti nadi: “Alea S., nafasnya berhenti di bawah cahaya yang pecah.” Teks itu menulis kematiannya—pelan, penuh kenikmatan, seolah mencari makan untuk kepuasan

“Robert must be told,” Ned said. “If what you say is true, if even a part of it is true, the king must hear it for himself.” “And what proof shall we lay before him? My words against theirs? My little birds against the queen and the Kingslayer, against his brothers and his council, against the Wardens of East and West, against all the might of Casterly Rock? Pray, send for Ser Ilyn directly, it will save us all some time. I know where that road ends.” “Yet if what you say is true, they will only bide their time and make another attempt.” “Indeed they will,” said Varys, “and sooner rather than later, I do fear. You are making them most anxious, Lord Eddard. But my little birds will be listening, and together we may be able to forestall them, you and I.” He rose and pulled up his cowl so his face was hidden once more. “Thank you for the wine. We will speak again. When you see me next at council, be certain to treat me with your accustomed contempt. You should not find it difficult.” He was at the door when Ned called, “Varys.” The eunuch turned back. “How did Jon Arryn die?” “I wondered when you would get around to that.” “Tell me.” “The tears of Lys

Kian Solis, an ordinary young man from the quiet town of Veldar, has always felt a strange sense of longing for something beyond the life he knows. Living a simple existence as a blacksmith's apprentice, he is content but not fulfilled, always haunted by the feeling that he is meant for something more. One night, while walking a secluded path on the edge of town, Kian discovers an ancient, mysterious book buried beneath the roots of an old tree. When he touches it, he is suddenly transported to a fantastical world—Doria, a realm of magic, strange creatures, and unknown dangers. The book, still in his hands, pulses with an otherworldly power, and he is told by a mysterious voice that he has been chosen for a greater purpose in this new world. As Kian navigates this unfamiliar realm, he is pursued by dark forces and must uncover the truth behind his summoning. The world of Doria is full of secrets, and Kian soon learns that the book he found is linked to an ancient prophecy, one that could determine the fate of the entire world. With new allies, dangerous enemies, and a destiny he doesn’t fully understand, Kian’s journey will test his courage, his resolve, and his very identity as he faces a power that could either save or destroy Doria.

Centuries ago, a mysterious energy called "Mana" revolutionized society, but it led humans to face an unprecedented crisis: the "Great Fall". After centuries of intensive use of mana, flora and fauna mutated, becoming more powerful and intelligent. Confronted with this threat, humanity takes refuge in the bastions, the 21 fortresses, to survive. Humans also begin to mutate, developing greater physical and intellectual abilities, as well as special powers called "systems" and "stigmata". However, a scientist warns of an even more devastating imminent threat: insects, organized and cruel, will mutate in turn. To counter this imminent threat, humans begin to study the beasts and learn to cultivate Mana like them. Mana exercises are created to accelerate this process and copy some of the characteristics, but changing exercises is difficult and risky. As the world struggles for survival, Rin, a semi-awakened with the power to perceive everything around him, finds himself at the heart of this turmoil, determined to find his place in a world in chaos and to protect those he loves from the surrounding dangers. ***************************************** Participate in WSA 2024

The MC at beginning is someone who's impulse control has deteriorated severely. A lot of the trouble he gets into is because he's reckless and emotionally-involved in delicate and nuanced situations. However, he usually gets bailed out by his natural gifts and talents which allows him to continue with his carefree attitude... until it inevitably doesn't. I really want to tackle this part of the MC's character and what are the effects this kind of mindset has to an individual and those around them. *Credits for Image to KELLEPICS https://pixabay.com/images/id-2847724/ Free for commercial use under Pixabay License with no attribution required

The vast scale of our universe has lead us to believe that we must be alone. However, this isn't the case. Fane, a member of a highly advanced spacefaring civilization, is suddenly summoned to a medieval world, reminiscent of Old Earth's Dark Ages. On the surface, kingdoms wage endless wars, while beneath, a mysterious dungeon sprawls, its labyrinthine corridors constantly shifting like the gears of a clock. Yet, this world is not the only one drawn into the chaos. Two others have also been pulled into the fray, bringing with them powerful crystalline mages and ancient gods long thought forgotten. Now, Fane must fight to survive alongside native warriors and foreign entities alike, all while unraveling the cryptic mysteries of this strange and dangerous realm. Survival is only the beginning - deciphering the truth could change everything. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hello! Thanks for checking out my work! I'm not the greatest author, but I plan to consistently update this project, even if I have to write significantly slower than what you typically find on this platform. (My apologies!) Below, you will find some key notes that might be nice to see before becoming invested. PACE: 1 ch/week For now, I plan to write roughly 1 chapter / week. However, this might change in the future as I acclimate to writing more frequently. (Or if this story randomly becomes very successful.) MONEY: At least first 50 ch FREE I know I just mentioned this story becoming "successful", which typically entails paying the author and bla bla bla. BUT! I like the idea of this just being my story with no hooks or lines for a while. I plan to make the greater first chunk of the story free. TRENDS: ~~Overpowered~~ Honestly, I hate the concept of things being "overpowered". It reminds me of the first time I hacked my favorite childhood videogame. (It sucked the fun out of it completely.) That being said, I want this story to involve genuine challenges that take effort or risk to overcome. GENRE: Action, Mystery I would like this story to focus primarily around Action and Mystery. There might be some mild things tossed into the fray like comedy and romance, but don't expect anything too raunchy. DISCORD: -not yet implemented- I may eventually start a discord for this story. It could make a good library for supporting lore or artwork, as well as a place for people to discuss their theories or leave feedback. For now, this discord doesn't yet exist, but I will update you here when/if that changes. OTHER STORIES: Paused A few of you may have known me from my previous stories. I know, you may be pretty bummed that I haven't updated either in a really long time. There were some pretty hefty flaws in those stories that I kind of beat myself up over. (I actually formed this story while trying to restructure the surface world for 'Reincarnated as a Haunted Machine'.) For now, this will be my only work, as the world I live in has become rather complicated in recent years. Perhaps at some point, I will return to my other works, but for the foreseeable future, this story will be my one true love.
