Which Is An Important Element Of Gothic

Shaun’s life was already in free-fall: fired from a suspiciously shady job, drowning his sorrows in questionable alcohol, and wrapping things up with a classic car crash. The universe, in its infinite wisdom, decided this wasn’t rock bottom—nope, Shaun was getting reincarnated. But not as a hero. Not even as a sidekick. Nope, Shaun wakes up as **Shaun** (no, not a typo)—a tragic background extra from a fantasy novel. You know, the kind of character whose job is to exist solely for pain, ridicule, and the occasional wallet-theft subplot. This Shaun? Father walked out. Mother ghosted him for a "better future." Property sharks, mobsters, and scam artists all sniffing around what little he owns. But hey, he somehow clawed his way into a prestigious academy! A chance at redemption, right? Wrong. Enter stage left: bullies. First, the villains make him a punching bag. Then the so-called *heroes* decide, "Yeah, let’s take turns too!" Normally, this poor soul would accept his fate, because that’s what he’s written to do. But reincarnated Shaun? He didn’t read that memo. He has… let’s say, *creative solutions* to his problems. Where the original Shaun took beatings with a grimace, this Shaun hands out payback with a cold smile and zero guilt. Bullies? Meet karma, wielded like a sledgehammer. But something’s off. The script’s changing. People are acting weird. They’re *recognizing* him, approaching him like they know secrets he hasn’t been briefed on. And that internal monologue habit he has? Turns out it’s not so internal anymore. A growing number of eavesdroppers think his sarcastic, third-person narration is… important. please do not leave any review both positive or negative until you have read first 20 chapter new chapter is uploaded daily monday to saturday

Axton Backwoods has always felt like an outsider in his small village of Ashen Grove. While his classmates wield powerful elemental magic, Axton has never displayed any abilities of his own. Raised by his foster parents, William and Evelyn, his life has always been ordinary—until the day the academy representatives arrive to test potential candidates for their prestigious school. Most expect to be chosen based on their elemental abilities, but Axton knows he doesn’t fit that mold. Without visible magic, he believes he has no chance. Yet, to his surprise, the academy selects him—though the reasons behind their decision remain a mystery. At the academy, Axton’s life takes a drastic turn when he’s faced with a life-threatening situation and given a choice: to accept a mysterious System that suddenly manifests before him, or face danger alone. The System, a strange and enigmatic force, offers rewards, missions, and guidance, unlocking hidden powers within Axton that he never knew existed. These powers are unlike any elemental magic he’s seen before, and they mark the beginning of a journey of self-discovery. As Axton navigates the academy’s challenges, he unravels more about his powers and the secrets surrounding his true heritage. The System becomes his greatest ally, guiding him through deadly trials and revealing that his role in the academy—and the world—may be far more important than he ever imagined. But as his powers grow, so too do the dangers, and Axton must decide if he’s ready to face the truth about his past and the powerful forces that seek to control his future.
