In the penumbra of a fallen empire, **Lucien Valefor** walks alone, his shadow stretching across broken lands that once knelt before his bloodline. The last scion of the Valefor dynasty moves through the twilight realm between vengeance and despair, each footfall a testament to promises whispered in the dark. "Memory is the cruelest blade," he murmurs to the night, his voice carrying the weight of a thousand silenced screams. "It cuts deeper than steel, leaving wounds that time refuses to heal." The betrayal that stripped him of his birthright lives within him now—not as a wound, but as a companion, intimate and ever-present. His **Nyx Ascendance** pulses beneath his skin, darkness coalescing around his fingers like liquid obsidian. This power, born of sacrifice and suffering, is not merely wielded—it is experienced, a symphony of shadow that resonates with the hollow chambers of his heart. "They believed death would silence me," Lucien contemplates, watching the darkness dance between his palms. "But in death, I found a truth they fear to face—that endings are merely thresholds to more terrible beginnings." The moon bearing witness to his soliloquy casts silver light upon the scars that map his journey—each mark a verse in the epic of his fall and inevitable rise. His enemies sleep behind walls of stone and privilege, dreaming peaceful dreams of empires built upon his family's ashes. "The architecture of revenge requires patience," he tells the stillness around him. "Each moment of their false security is a stone in the monument of their eventual ruin." He is not the prince they remember—that man perished in the bloody theater of their betrayal. What returns to them now is something hollowed and hallowed by suffering, a vessel filled with purpose so pure it transcends morality. "I do not seek justice," Lucien acknowledges, his eyes reflecting landscapes of yet-unfought battles. "Justice implies balance, and some scales can never be balanced—only shattered and reforged." In the distance, the spires of his ancestral home pierce the horizon like accusing fingers. The throne that awaits him is no longer merely a seat of power but an altar upon which he will sacrifice those who believed him conquered. "They will learn," he whispers to the approaching dawn, "that nightmares do not fade with waking. Some terrors follow you into the light."

After spending over 1000 hours playing Eternal Phantasm Requiem, Fujimoto Haruto knew everything about the game. He knew Alicia von Edelweiss, the heroine. He knew the monsters. He knew the plot. And he was perfectly content being her best friend, her sidekick, and one of her party members. He wasn’t the hero, and he didn’t want to be. Alicia was the one out there saving the world while Haruto stayed in the background, helping with minor tasks and occasional support. It was a sweet deal. Then, Haruto got Isekai’d into the game world. And now? He’s still the same useless sidekick with zero heroic ability, but with one new absurd skill—he somehow keeps triggering romance flags with every villainess he meets. These villainesses are all nuts, by the way. Some want him dead, some want him married, and some want both at the same time. Meanwhile, Alicia is out there, saving the world, looking perfect, while Haruto is dodging poisoned love letters and trying to survive romantic death traps. And that’s when it hit me. I wasn’t just the sidekick anymore. I was the sidekick who somehow got romanced by every villainess in the game. Why? I don’t know. What was supposed to be a quiet, background role has turned into a nonstop disaster. Alicia, the actual heroine, is off doing all the heavy lifting, saving the world, while I’m left with a harem of murderous women who think I am their “true love.” How do I survive this? How do I deal with a life where my only job seems to be dodging love potions and poison daggers? Can Haruto escape the villainess crossfire without accidentally marrying one of them to his doom? Or will he be the first-ever sidekick to get romanced into oblivion?

A phantasm of a metaphor made real, an allegory based upon principles of the dynamics of ontology itself. It leaves behind a barely-real whisper to mark its path. There’s about a million different creation mythos that we can go into, so I'll keep this one simple. Once before a time, there was a long unending quiet. I will not get into the specifics—just know that this quiet was inevitable. It prefigured all and it is what all will come back to in due time. And please, always remember: this is an allegory. *Ahem* anyway: eventually, a whisper, a euphony came into existence. Whether the whisper was the long quiet itself or something else that came out of it is irrelevant currently. Either way, that whisper moved across that unending quiet and ‘pointed’ to a section. It said: "This section will be an infinite world that will extend into an infinite number of dimensions. This will be the physical world" “These infinite dimensions will harbor any and all; this is where the 'simple' will live." Then, it looked to the ‘right’ of the physical world and said: "This will be an ascended plane of existence, mirroring the physical world; this will be a world build upon conscience, objective truths/axioms, and beings beyond simple comprehension" This world resembles a tower. A tower with a beyond infinite amount of floors, each floor sharing its own axioms, and each subsequent floor unequivocally surpassing the previous. These floors will be like fluid, not set in stone. It is known that the whisper said SOMETHING to this beyond infinite tower, but the specifics is not recorded here. Finally, the whisper created a network of strings. These strings exist in ‘the weave’, they connect all living minds and concepts together. T=1 Then the whisper went quiet. For the quiet is all there can and will be. (Updates:) Honestly, it’s hard to say. I’m pretty busy right now since I’m in my senior year of high school. I’m also a perfectionist, so each chapter I write goes through extensive rewrites and edits (some more than others). All I can say is that a new chapter will come out every few weeks or so. Don’t expect this story to be 1,500 chapters, though. I’m not looking to write it over the course of 9 years at the pace I work.

Johan thought he knew monotony—long hours at work, nights spent solo gaming. But when he's summoned to Eosdadalon, a world of magic, his friends are hailed as the Heroes of Prophecy, while Johan is cast aside, deemed unworthy. Stumbling upon the mysterious Sanity System, a power unlike anything the heroes possess, Johan's path veers into the unknown. Meanwhile, the Penumbra—a pitch-black fog consuming everything in its path—creeps across the land, threatening to engulf the world. Outside the prophecy, with no place in its story, Johan must carve out his own path, unlocking the full potential of the Sanity System to help save a world that may never accept him.

Chaotic Existence In a high modern sci-fi fantasy world teetering on the edge of collapse, Lucian, an aloof anti-hero, carries the soul of Tiamat—the ancient Primordial Dragon Queen—sealed within him. Hunted by gods, empires, and phantasms, Lucian fights to reclaim fragments of Tiamat’s shattered body and the truth of his existence.

En las calles polvorientas y envueltas en la penumbra de Neo-Tokyo, donde la luz del sol apenas lograba filtrarse entre los escombros y los edificios en ruinas, un silencio inquietante se cernía sobre la ciudad. En este mundo post-apocalíptico, donde la supervivencia era un arte y el poder lo determinaba todo, se erguía un hombre singular, enmascarado y envuelto en sombras. Kaito Yukimura, conocido en los bajos fondos como el "Sombra del Desierto", caminaba con paso firme entre los callejones oscuros, su máscara de gas moderna ocultando su rostro y su saco blanco con negro ondeando detrás de él como un estandarte de misterio y elegancia en un mundo desolado. Su reputación precedía su presencia, sus movimientos eran silenciosos pero letales, y su presencia era un recordatorio constante de que, en este mundo de caos y desesperación, había aquellos que aún mantenían el control en las sombras. En esta noche particularmente oscura, Kaito se encontraba en una misión secreta, persiguiendo un rumor que flotaba en los susurros de los callejones. Un rumor de un artefacto perdido, un tesoro oculto en las profundidades de la ciudad, que prometía poder y riqueza para aquellos lo suficientemente valientes o desesperados como para buscarlo. Y así, con su destino entrelazado con los oscuros hilos de Neo-Tokyo, Kaito se adentró en las sombras una vez más, listo para enfrentar los peligros que acechaban en cada esquina y descubrir los secretos ocultos en los rincones más oscuros de la ciudad.

This wasn't my first VR game, but as always, I sucked. My favorite kind of ways to play was a meaty mage with high damage and favorably both high MP and HP regeneration. But while I tried to create this type of Avatar, l had no luck yet again. This game was way too hard! It was also almost impossible to level up like this and I died countless times. Also...I was basically an social inept and unble to perform well in a party or any other kind of group. I had too less talent to get stronger as fast as other players and the painfully low possibilities of my potential often sent me to the brink of my inner abyss. Still, I loved playing this game and kept on playing anyway. Until one day, my peace and serenity were broken by the undercurrents and remnants of political struggle in the city I resided. Forced to join the ruthless leader of the black market I had to let go of everything that hindered me to grow stronger. To find my oppressors who bullied, stole from me and made me wish to leave this game behind. On my way to revenge, my class was upgraded to a branch class of mage, - illusionist. Fit for my style of madness and an concealed weapon against my enemies. And this made me let loose of anything reining myself back. - "So, you said you were an illusionist. Do you already know what your class is able to do or shall I explain it to you?" The class instructor asked. "I can make weak hallucinations and cute phantasms." "..." he held the bridge of his nose. "You got to choose between scary and cute phantasms and chose cute? What the hell is wrong with you????" "te-he..." I tried to scratch my head cutely. "Don't te-he me, you imbecile!" he roared. "How the hell should I be your instructor when you can't even choose the basic skills that are suitable for fighting?!" "But the big wolf found the phantasm cute and was tamed." I smiled and showed him the hide of a deer I had placed in my inventory. "He even started hunting for me until I had enough and ran away." "..." The instructor was left speechless. Why did he have to babysit such a useless revenant? Couldn't he at least have someone with a bit more smartness? Why did he have to take care of this dorky mage??????

In the shadowed city of Nyx, where ancient mysteries slumber and whispers of dark realms echo through the alleys, the young inspector Elior bears a unique curse: the Mark, a symbol binding him to the realm of Myrmidia—a place where shadows hold power and whispers breed nightmares. Bound by an ancient pact, Elior belongs to the ranks of the "Tethered," those who exist between worlds, capable of wielding Myrmidia's otherworldly forces but forever at risk of losing themselves to the darkness. When a string of strange disappearances stirs the city, Elior finds himself on the trail of a looming, unseen adversary who wields powers disturbingly familiar to his own. Haunted by phantasms and drawn ever closer to Myrmidia’s seductive call, Elior must venture deeper into the city’s mysteries, navigating secrets that lead back to his own ancestors, guardians of the original pact. Yet, the more he uncovers, the closer he drifts to losing his soul entirely to the very shadows he controls. In a world where night-watchers, bell-strikers, and patrolling guardians face unseen horrors each night, Elior must decide: Will he uphold his oath to protect Nyx, or surrender to the vast, untamed powers within himself and become a legend of the shadows he has sworn to contain?

Here is my decent try to limn the tribulations of the eastern woman with a nib pen of the world language. On a non-fictional foundation, this short story sets within a contrived frame of fiction. Whence the heroine “Reidah” serves as an epitome of all downtrodden women in the Arabdom. “The Other Side” hence takes its perfervid readers on a realistic journey to cognize the masked face of humanity. Apart from this, the narrative betokens the inner defective side of the protagonist herself. In short, this novella bespeaks the vehement voice of silenced women on the other side of the world. From the storylines, one bumps into an ingenue, whose name is “Reidah”. As her small family inflicted neglect, abuse, and torture on her; she underwent a recurrent dolor. Ergo, she had to illicitly navigate with her ex-husband’s torn pants to the Capital of Fashion. To secure a decent life for her, she had to change her name to “Angela”. Everything was marvelous until she found herself ensnared in her past and bad luck. Hence, the heroine chose to withstand her phantasm with the help of her psychiatrist by writing. So, will the truth keep the same planned track in the hope to shield the realm of her family?
