God Of Fiction: The Faceless One

Gray World is dominated by the will of Gods and thrives under the control of iron gears and steam. It is a place where faith is not a passive devotion but a currency—traded, bought, and sold by churches that wield their gods' influence as weapons. It is a place where value is absolute, value is everything, shaping every belief and controlling every life. Run by ironclad reign of Church of Steel, every life here reeks of smoke and decay, while the Church of Sacrifice whispers promises of salvation through pain and sacrifice. Yet, amidst this ever existing Gods of sacrifice, iron, and decay, a new God descends—one who was once known as The Faceless One, God of Confusion, Keeper of secrets, Messiah of messengers by en masse: the God of Fiction. God of Fiction, Ashur, reincarnates after dying by the wiles of God of Sacrifice and others. Unlike other gods, Ashur, does not demand worship through suffering or material devotion. Instead, he brings something far more dangerous: the ability to weave fantasies into existence, to blur the line between fiction and reality. "Is fiction not a truth waiting to be realized?" Whispers spread among the people—rumors of a church that doesn't preach, of a god who offers not suffering but something far more seductive: choice. They speak of dreams too vivid to be mere illusions and realities that seem to bend to their imaginations. What is fiction, if not another form of reality? When the masses begin to believe, does belief not shape the world itself? As his own proclamation goes— [To not exist does not mean one truly does not exist, for to be known is also a form of existence.] ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ [This book has been dropped] [If you want to read something after it, I would recommend, “Death Game: Beyond Reality“]

Rebirth: My Reclusive Husband Helps Me Get Revenge!

“An illegitimate child will always be an outsider.” For Yu Lixue, life in the Yu family was one of endless humiliation. As the unwanted daughter with no mother to defend her, she was treated like a pawn, used, ignored, and discarded. Her talents—her paintings, her songs—were stolen by her stepmother and conniving half-sister, who claimed them as their own. Her life was a series of shadows and silence, living under their lies. But when her half-sister fled an arranged marriage with Mo Ran, a powerful but reclusive man, the family forced Lixue to take her place. Once again, her wishes were disregarded. Her marriage to Mo Ran was cold, distant—another prison she had no choice but to endure. Until the night she died in a mysterious accident, her pleas for justice buried along with her. Yet fate gave her a second chance. Reborn into the same world that betrayed her, Lixue returns with a vow: she will take back everything they stole—her art, her voice, her freedom. And when she reenters her marriage with Mo Ran, he surprises her with a proposition: he will help her get revenge against those who wronged her. But Lixue is wary. Why is this man, who barely showed her any warmth before, now offering to stand by her side? As they plot against the Yu family, Lixue realizes that Mo Ran has his own reasons for revenge. Their alliance begins to blur the line between ally and enemy, and she questions whether he’s truly on her side or if he has his own hidden agenda. In a world filled with deceit and betrayal, Yu Lixue must decide: will she risk trusting her husband, or will she forge her own path to reclaim what’s hers, no matter the cost? Excerpt: Lixue stared down at the steaming bowl of soup on the table, blinking in surprise. Mo Ran placed it before her with a steady hand, his usual calm expression softened just slightly by a flicker of something unreadable in his eyes. She tried to catch his gaze, but he’d already turned away, busying himself with the teapot. “Why are you…?” she murmured, glancing between the bowl and him, her voice trailing off. He looked up, meeting her eyes with a hint of amusement. “Why am I what?” She fumbled for words, her cheeks warming. “Why are you…being so nice to me?” A small smile played on his lips, barely there but just enough to leave her heart fluttering. “Is it so strange for a husband to be kind to his wife?” She opened her mouth to reply, but nothing came out. The Mo Ran she remembered from her past life had been as cold as winter, never sparing her a second glance. This new version of him, warm and considerate, left her feeling…confused. “Eat,” he said, his voice soft. “You didn’t eat much at breakfast.” She nodded, taking the spoon with a slight tremor in her fingers. The soup was rich, comforting—something she would have loved as a child. The warmth of it melted away a part of her guardedness, leaving her strangely vulnerable. As she set down her spoon, she glanced at him again, still puzzled. “What’s gotten into you, Mo Ran?” “…” “Let’s just say I want to spoil you my darling..”

Abandoned in fantasy world, I will change destiny

Kael von Thurad, once a master architect in the bustling heart of a world far removed from this one, finds himself reborn in a strange and untamed land after a twist of fate. His former life, his identity, all of it stripped away, leaving him with little but his wits and a mysterious artifact—a so-called "Empty Lot," a simple name for an item that holds the power to reshape reality itself. With nothing but raw determination and the visions in his mind, Kael begins his work, crafting a small floating village out of wood, stone, and water. It is a humble beginning, a far cry from the towering structures he once designed, but the village is his, and it floats above the wilds like a solitary island in a sea of danger. The land beneath him is unforgiving, a place where survival is earned with blood and toil, but Kael is no stranger to hard work. As he gathers resources from the land and bends the forces of nature to his will, Kael begins to expand his creation. The village grows, passing through stages of technology that mirror the evolution of civilization itself. From the simplicity of steam-powered mechanisms to the complexity of advanced machinery, each upgrade brings him closer to the vision that haunts his dreams—a modern, interdimensional floating city, a marvel of architecture that defies the very laws of nature. But Kael does not work alone. He breathes life into the Seraphs, androids and golems of his own design, constructed from the very materials of the earth. These silent guardians maintain and upgrade the city, their glowing eyes reflecting the light of progress as they carry out his will. They are more than mere tools; they are extensions of his mind, manifestations of his relentless drive to create and conquer. Through countless trials, Kael’s floating village transforms, rising from the dirt and stone of its beginnings to become a sprawling metropolis, a city that floats above the world and beyond it. It is a city of wonders, a place where the boundaries of reality blur, and the impossible becomes possible. Yet, beneath the surface of his grand design, Kael wrestles with the forces that govern this strange new reality. The land is not his to command, and the powers that be watch him with interest and suspicion. But Kael is a man of vision, a builder of dreams, and he will not be deterred. His floating city becomes not just a refuge, but a testament to his will, a defiance of the natural order that seeks to contain him. Kael von Thurad’s story is one of transformation, a tale of creation born from destruction. It is a journey through the dark and unknown, where imagination holds the power to reshape worlds, and where a man can rise from the ashes of his past to build something truly extraordinary.

With no clear direction but a fierce determination to prove his worth, Toki’s first goal is simple: make friends who see him for who he is.
