Is Golden Compass A Young Adult

Ali never meant to die. All he did was chase down a man trying to kidnap a child. One moment he was in Riyadh, the next, a gunshot. Darkness. He wakes up in chains, his throat dry, blood staining his chest, and a name that isn’t his. Zad ibn Salem. A slave. A heretic. Seventh in line for execution by beheading. In his palm, a bloodstained card, black, jagged, and marked with something unholy. The Card of Shaytan. It whispers one truth. "Only in death shall you find the answer." Thus begins a cursed journey through Agrabiyya, a kingdom of golden deserts and cruel kings, forgotten gods and forbidden magic, where fate isn't granted, but stolen. Where ancient cults move in the shadows, angels weep in silence, and wars are waged. What crime did Zad commit? Why was Ali chosen? And what lies beyond the door that only death can open? The answers wait in dust, in blood, and in the quiet laughter of something watching from the dark. IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please note that this is a mystery/fantasy story. Every line is accounted for to enhance your experience. During certain arcs, you may be able to solve mysteries before they are officially revealed, so pay close attention. I can’t say much more. Just remember, always distrust people. Always think one step ahead. Always balance your logic with your emotions. A balance must exist, for in time, you shall find an answer. Another notice: Once the first arc is complete, which is currently ongoing, I’ll be commissioning character art, a new poster, and a system explainer when the time comes. I have a lot of plans. Chapters will release either daily or every two days, and sometimes multiple chapters in one day.

"The greatest fear of humankind isn’t death—it’s the unknown. And to face it, something must always be lost." In a fractured world governed by card-suited kingdoms, ruled by secrets, and haunted by the remnants of ancient powers, Walker Soliraine is a man teetering on the edge—of life, of truth, and of himself. When he's dragged into a web of anthology-fueled conflicts and buried conspiracies, Walker must confront not only the monsters lurking in the shadows of civilization, but the deeper terrors buried within his own soul. What must he sacrifice to move forward? And when the truth finally reveals itself, will he be brave enough to look— or will fear make him turn away?

Ryo died in the most pathetic way possible: run over by a Prius right after bombing a job interview. And as if that wasn’t humiliating enough, he reincarnates in a fantasy world… with a broken compass hanging from his neck. Yes, you read that right: no legendary swords, no hidden magic, no auto-generated waifus. Just a talking compass with a mind of its own that changes direction whenever it feels like it. Today it points to a sacred temple? Tomorrow, a ruined tavern infested with alcoholic slimes? The day after? Who knows. Not even the compass seems sure. But as he runs from flaming wolves, argues with recycled bandits, and unlocks skills with names like "Courage I: now you scream with more dignity," Ryo starts to suspect this ridiculous compass might hold the key to returning home… Or to something much worse: becoming a real hero. A light novel packed with magic, absurd humor, questionable decisions, and a protagonist who never asked to be here (but is definitely going to complain about everything anyway).

The story begins with a young woman who has completed school. Having been hurt by love in the past, she now wants to focus on her life. However, she becomes very close to a gentleman where she works. They did not expect this to occur, but they fell deeply in love. He becomes the only individual she can trust. Her family, however, is poor. Her mother wishes that they were rich, and so she always tells her daughter to marry someone rich. One day, the rich man happens to catch sight of her. He is drawn to her at once, but she does not like him. He is quite persistent and has a controlling nature. He discovers her address and begins sending her parents large sums of money and luxurious items. Her mother loves the money and pushes her daughter even harder to marry him. The girl is stuck. She wants to be with her boyfriend, but the pressure from her parents is too much. When she takes her parents to meet him, her mother says no right away since he does not have enough money. Her boyfriend tries speaking with her mother and promises that he will be able to provide for her. The mother makes it seem like she agrees, but when the girl goes home, both parents inform her that she must break up with him. Then, the rich man proposes a marriage contract to the mother. The contract says that money will flow to the family forever if the woman weds him. Her mother promptly signs. Now, the girl must make a difficult choice: marry a man she does not love to save her family from poverty, or struggle for her own happiness and possibly lose everything, including the love of her family.

They call him Ghost. A name whispered in fear across warzones, black markets, and underworld circles. To the world, he's a phantom—a faceless mercenary who leaves no trace but bodies in his wake. To his enemies, he’s a death sentence. To his brothers-in-arms in Graveyard, he’s family. But to himself... he's a haunted man searching for a past stolen in gunfire and smoke. After a flawless mission deep in the Eastern Province, Ghost returns to the hidden forest base he's called home for sixteen years. Yet the victory is short-lived. His foster father, the commander delivers an unexpected order: "That was your last mission." Now, Ghost—real name Miles Sterling—must step out of the shadows of war and into a world he’s never known. Guided only by a scarred letter, a fading memory, and the voice of a woman he hasn’t seen since the day everything was taken from him. But war forged more than his body and name. Behind the mask, behind the scars, Miles has another secret. One he’s kept hidden even from his brothers in arms. He’s not just a weapon. He’s a ghost with a fortune—a hidden empire he built in silence, across borders and black markets, forged in strategy and blood. A man of many names, and many shadows. Beneath the bullets, tattoos, and silence lies a truth buried in ashes. And Ghost is about to dig it up—one letter, one enemy, one memory at a time.

A dying man from modern Earth, bedridden with an incurable illness in his late twenties, is offered one final wish by an unknown force. He chooses to experience a game he’d been waiting to play—War of Demons and Heroes, a rich, character-driven adult action RPG. When he opens his eyes, he finds himself not as the main character, but in the frail, half-starved body of a 14-year-old brothel servant boy in the slums of the imperial capital, Utopia. His name? Kayle. **** Disclaimer 1. "Is this a harem?" A common question from my previous novel, so I'll address it upfront. No, it is not. At least, not in the traditional sense. He'll have relationships with many girls, but most of them will be a fling. There will only be one final heroine. 3. If you decide to give my novel a try, first, thank you! Second, I would love if you could leave a few comments or a review. The feedback and confirmation that people are reading my book helps to keep me writing. 4. There is no smut in my book. I repeat, there is NO SMUT in my book. I know the title can be misleading, but I assure you, there is no smut in my book. (Important things should be repeated three times.)

In the Middle Realm, civilizations of Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, Beastkin, and Merfolk rose from the remnants of the Great War. Shaped by residual energies, these races forged distinct cultures and societies, building alliances while still haunted by the scars of past conflicts.

At the heart of this volatile world stands Evan, captain of the Golden Sun Guild, leading a team of elite warriors and mages. They face threats both external and internal, but their greatest challenge may lie not in the monsters they battle, but in the deep, hidden forces tied to the lingering aftermath of the Great War.

What boy doesn't dream of adventure? Especially if you have to master the most real magic? So Tim, a very ordinary twelve-year-old boy, didn't take long to accept the offer to enter a school of sorcery. He was not deceived: he actually ended up in the school. Which was located on the planet Jelshakh, perhaps on the other side of the universe. A whole crowd of boys and girls arrived at the school at the same time, but what a crowd! Elves, drowes, orcs, anzimars, peirots... and not a single Earthling but him. That, however, did not prevent him from making friends, and together they went to meet the real dangers and amazing discoveries! A true friend stays with you, even if he has something you don't. Tim is the only one at school who doesn't have an innate gift for magic. And he'll have to work hard to prove that he can do magic, too.

A Call to the Golden Age of Cultivation To my dearest readers, fellow dreamers and seekers of the grandest tales – have you ever yearned for the sagas of old? The kind that didn't rush through 200 chapters, but stretched across **two, even three thousand, with every detail meticulously woven?** I speak of the **pioneering era of Xianxia and Wuxia, the true Grand Cultivation and Cosmic Xianxia narratives** that still echo in our hearts. We live in an age where new novels emerge at lightning speed, driven by quick updates and rapid-fire releases. But amidst this surge, let us not forget the legends penned by authors whose very names evoke reverence, even if their origins are lost to time. These pioneers left us with an invaluable lesson: **true depth and epic scale aren't about speed, but about profound immersion.** They showed us worlds of lower, middle, and upper realms; universes existing within a single body and countless others beyond it. They crafted **ancient immortals and terrifying, primordial chaos** – not the watered-down, cliché versions, but a dread-inducing, boundless void. They took us to **Golden Eras of maximum power, where every sect soared, every technique resonated with peak potential, and the adventure was truly infinite.** No tedious trudges through "mortal world, immortal world, spirit world, fairy world, zzz" – just pure, unadulterated cosmic might from the get-go. I may not be a seasoned god of this genre, but I am a fervent disciple. Inspired by these titans, these very deities of storytelling, I aim to emulate their magnificent vision. My upcoming chapters will embrace their concept of a **Golden Era, a peak-level world brimming with maximum power from the outset.** We'll delve into iconic tropes like **universes beyond the body, the tiered cosmos, and a chaos that truly inspires awe**, not just a basic understanding. Join me as I attempt to craft something truly exciting and immersive within this beloved genre. For it is only those pioneers, those gods, who inspire me to seek such grand narratives. Let us together rediscover the lost art of the truly epic! I clarify that I also like the current immortal cultivation stories. They are popular and easy to shape, especially if you want a story without plagiarism. I recommend focusing on the genre, taking inspiration and making your own ideas of what the MC is like and how they act in the face of monotony and boredom. Persevere. Withdraw or continue?

"This world is... doomed?" Two centuries ago, the roots of every dimension began manifesting fissures, causing distortion to the flow of energy and time. Since then, worlds continued to crumble and be destroyed caused by errors from the loclines.

Those abandoned by their own dimension were moved to another, eventually leading to its destruction.
