Official Art for the Novel at @the_original_realm (I am not sure if this is allowed, if its not please inform me and I will remove the link) Ten years ago, six-year-old Luke Mace witnessed the impossible. On a snowy mountain, during what was supposed to be an ordinary family hike, a monstrous creature emerged from a glowing portal and tore his life apart, killing his parents before vanishing into thin air. No one believed his story. The official explanation was an avalanche, but Luke has never forgotten the truth: the creature, and the strange portal, were real. Now sixteen, Luke joins a school field trip to the same mountain, only to find himself drawn back to the site of his deepest pain. As the snow falls and strange forces awaken, the portal reactivates, pulling Luke into Aethereon, a realm of ancient power and shifting landscapes, brimming with the mysterious energy known as Advent. In this otherworldly dimension, Luke discovers that the creature responsible for his parents' deaths, known only as The Anomaly, roams freely, a force of chaos that answers to no one. Determined to confront it and make it pay for what it took from him, Luke begins his journey, joined by a group of unlikely companions he meets along the way. Together, they navigate the perils of Aethereon, from its labyrinthine forests to its towering, crystalline peaks, facing foes born of Advent's raw power. As Luke learns to wield Advent himself, he realizes that his quest for revenge is far more complicated than he imagined. The Anomaly is more than just a killer-it is a being tied to the fabric of both Aethereon and Earth, and its existence threatens to unravel the balance between worlds. To survive and protect everything he loves, Luke must face not only the monster but the truths buried deep within himself. The Original Realm is a gripping story of loss, vengeance, and self-discovery, as Luke Mace ventures into the unknown to confront the past and forge his own path forward.

Ethan Hayes was just another aimless soul, trapped in the monotony of modern life—until a sudden stroke while playing an idle game transported him to an unfathomable fantasy world where strength rules all. Granted a unique Idle System, Ethan discovers he can passively accumulate power, resources, and followers over time, turning the very mechanics of the world to his advantage. But in a land where only one outworlder can exist at a time, danger lurks around every corner. As he expands his growing domain, recruits unlikely allies, and prepares for the inevitable threats ahead, Ethan must prove that even an idle system can lead to absolute dominance—if played correctly.

The Ashwood Hotel is no ordinary abandoned place. It is a living tomb. In 1930, a mysterious fire claimed the lives of 23 people within its opulent halls—including a girl whose body was never found. Since then, the walls have whispered with silenced screams, ash rains from the ceiling, and anyone who enters the hotel becomes part of its eerie legend. When four young urban explorers venture into the decaying building, they have no idea that they are not only facing ghosts but the hotel itself. Sven, the anxious one with a knack for seeing the invisible. Natalia, the diva who feels her facade of sarcasm and lipstick beginning to crack. Jacob, the tough guy whose cool demeanor dissolves into smoke. And Lucas, the idealist who realizes too late that some spirits don’t want to be photographed. But the Ashwood is hungry. Its corridors shift, its victims return as shadows, and the stench of smoke becomes a choking reality. When the group realizes they haven’t ended up here by chance—that the hotel has called them—a race against an unrelenting past begins. But how do you fight walls that breathe? And what happens when the spirit hunting you... is your own reflection?

What is a man, if not a vessel of hidden truths and whispered deceptions? Beneath the fragile facade lies a labyrinth of secrets—truths buried so deeply they intertwine with the lies we tell ourselves just to survive another day. The masks we wear may fool the world, but they cannot hide the fractures within. Even those we hold closest, the ones we entrust with our hearts, may be the very hands carving unseen wounds into our souls, feeding them to the monsters lurking in the shadows. Blood tells no lies, flowing only when life is claimed, but even its crimson clarity is no guide to the truth. How does one find what is real when their very existence is a fractured mirror, splintered into shards that reflect only distorted glimpses of an identity lost? Each shard offers the promise of clarity, yet together, they form nothing but ruin. To uncover the truth is to face the darkness, and to risk losing what little remains of the self. For in the end, can a man truly hold a reflection if he no longer knows who—or what—he truly is? This is the path Aramith must brave. But does he truly know what lies ahead? Do his companions know what they are yet to face? They may never know, but the world they love might just be a small fragment, a piece of a bigger plan.

Lila’s life was ordinary—at least, that’s what she told herself. Her bookstore, The Whispering Pages, was nestled between two towering buildings in the heart of the city, a quiet oasis in the sea of concrete and steel. The air inside always smelled of aged paper and wood, and the hum of whispered words seemed to fill the empty spaces, as if the books were talking to each other when no one was looking. It was a comforting routine: wake up, open the store, sort through forgotten manuscripts, and disappear into the world of stories. But there was one book she never quite understood, hidden deep in the back of the store: a mirror-bound tome that no one ever seemed to touch. That was, until the night the mirror appeared. A delicate, antique frame, its surface smooth and unmarked. She found it leaning against the wall, where there had only been a shadow before. But it wasn’t just any mirror—it was a doorway. And through it, Lila would discover a world of magic and danger, of love that could shatter her reality, and of a man trapped between two realms, waiting for someone to unlock his curse.

In a small village nestled between towering mountains, a young girl named Aurelia discovers an ancient, hidden portal in the forest that leads to the Enchanted Realm, a world filled with mythical creatures, vibrant landscapes, and powerful magic. As she steps through the portal, Aurelia learns that the realm is in peril. A dark sorceress named Morwenna has stolen the Heartstone, a magical gem that maintains balance and harmony in the realm. Without it, chaos reigns, and the once-thriving land is slowly dying. Determined to save both the Enchanted Realm and her own village, Aurelia traveled, she encountered Crane, Neriah, and Kael, forging unexpected bonds along the way. Together, they embark on a quest to retrieve the Heartstone from Morwenna's fortress, facing treacherous landscapes, enchanted beasts, and their own fears along the way. As Aurelia uncovers her own latent magical abilities, she learns about friendship, courage, and the true meaning of sacrifice. In a climactic showdown with Morwenna, Aurelia must harness the power of the Heartstone and unite the creatures of the realm to restore peace and save both worlds from darkness. Will Lira succeed in her quest, or will the whispers of the Enchanted Realm fade into silence forever?

This is a story of a guy who loses everything, and then gets it back. Same old new world story, just a different kind of story teller. *** They took away our hunter tags. They had us grow our hair. They gave us a new brand, when we were over there. They staged us out of Dragur, East of the Olim Horn. I guess they call us Slaves, but no one calls us much anymore. There is no fun in killing. I don't want to do it anymore. Karn brought Sorrow. Pookie brought Fear. Milk brought the fly boys. They did work in Undia. I worked mostly clandestine. Some Legends I should not say. We played with better wands. I could use the extra pay. Did Mara give the order? Did venom pay the way? They said we were slaying demons, but it was kind of hard to tell. There is no fun in killing. I don't want to do it anymore. This was before HALO, and Codex was king. Hej atop the rider, he never felt a thing. When our rider caught a spell, and both the mages killed. It pitched us over sideways on some cold Sylph hill. My back felt like it was broken, my legs I could not feel. I kept on slaying demons, but it was kind of hard to tell. There is no fun in killing. I don't want to do it anymore. I never did heal up right from injuries sustained Officially in Torin, unofficially we train. I remember all their faces. They dream about me still. I guess I'm slaying demons, but it's kind of hard to tell. There no fun in killing. I don't want to do it anymore. I speak the cold logistic, that old boys speak so well. Veni, Vedi, Vici. I'll see you in Hel. Maybe it's bravado, or an unspeakable guilt. That village, they were demons, but it was kind of hard to tell. There is no fun in killing. I don't wanna to do it anymore. I've done plenty. What is one more? -Corb Lund *** Come guess me this riddle. What beats shire leaves and fiddle? What is hotter than pleasures touch, and whiter than cream? What best wets his whistle? What is clearer than crystal? What is sweeter than honey and stronger than steam? What will make the lame walk? What will make the dumb talk? What is the elixir of life and philosopher's stone? And what helped Pookie-Baba dig up a tunnel, that runs from Shalamanda to West-Torin? When you are digging a crater, It is the best thing in nature, for sinking your sorrows and raising your joys. Sometimes I wonder, if lightning and thunder, is made out of the plunder, of the reddest hiski and oils. *** If you can keep your head when all about you, are losing theirs and blaming it on you. If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their doubting too. If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise. If you can dream, and not make dreams your master. If you can think, and not make thoughts your aim. If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster, and treat those two impostors just the same. If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken, twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, and stoop and build them up with worn-out tools. If you can make one heap of all your winnings, and risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss and lose, and start again at your beginnings, and never breathe a word about your loss. If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew, to serve your turn long after they are gone, and so hold on when there is nothing in you; Except the Will which says to them ‘Hold on!’ If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, nor walk with Kings, nor lose the common touch. If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you. If all men count with you, but none too much. If you can fill the unforgiving minute, with sixty seconds worth of distance, run. Yours is the World and everything that’s in it, and which is more you’ll be a Man, my son. - Rudyard Kipling

"I will be ok papa," Shai said "I just want to make sure you're safe," Leif said "I will be fine I love you," Shai said "Love you too," Leif said Sadly It didn't turn out so, Shai Aqua went to work followed by a mysterious figure watching her before disappearing, she came back home to find it destroyed with a shining blue portal in the middle of her room. She was pulled into the portal away from her realm into another one, "What are you looking at Judy?"

Claire asserted Herman just stared at her before chuckling at her, "Do you believe that I wanted to do this? I am programmed to be this way..... An AI that wants the death of humanity. that is made by insane scientists who wanted the death of all humanity, I'm what they couldn't even dream of, these humans don't deserve to live on this planet.

The age of the Roaring Twenties is marred by the outcome of the Civil War.

Steven Keyle, a disgraced abolitionist and convicted criminal, finds himself in the very heart of a vast political conspiracy, while trying to unravel the dark mystery surrounding his owner.

Ezren Veydrion awakens to a world that is not his own. Once an ordinary man, he now finds himself in a realm where magic rules, monsters roam, and Awakeners wield powers granted by a system-like force. Yet, unlike others, Ezren is no mere Awakened—he is an anomaly, a being unbound by the laws of existence. The system welcomes him with an ominous message: > [Congratulations for successfully Crossing-Over the world] > [First Mission Assigned] [1. Register yourself as an Awakened-hunter. 2. Level up to 10th level to obtain a “Class.”] But something is wrong. He does not belong to any Realm. Not to Life, Death, Chaos, or Void. Instead, he is chosen by the Shadow, a force unseen, undetected, and forbidden—a power that lurks between all Realms, allowing him to absorb their essence, infiltrate their laws, and bend them to his will. The ancient rulers of existence—the Guardians of the Realms—call him a mistake, a threat that must be erased. For his very presence disrupts the balance, unraveling the veil that holds this world together. But why was he brought here? Why does this world feel like it’s hiding something? And why does he feel as though his existence was never meant to be? As Ezren grows stronger, he embarks on a journey not just for survival, but for answers—answers that may change everything he knows about himself… and this reality. --- Expect the novel to be with Dark-Mysterious, Action-fantasy and system-based elements integrated, not focused on Leveling-Up but more on Mysteries.
