Conscious Descent

In a world where the ability to clear dungeons is a rite of passage and the source of great power, Avince is an anomaly. Born into a family of advanced awakeners with extraordinary abilities—his mother controls ice, his father summons monsters, and his sister possesses a unique combination of both—Avince is the only one without a powerful gift. At 13, he failed his "Advanced Awakening," the pivotal moment when a young person inherits the powerful abilities of both parents. Now, nearly 19, Avince faces the rare and unpredictable "Anomalous Awakening," a mysterious and volatile process that could either grant him an incredible power or curse him with something dangerous. While his peers have long surpassed him in strength, Avince has spent years working tirelessly to catch up. No matter how hard he trains, his results are always half of what he expects. But on the day of his awakening, he hopes for something that will finally allow him to stand alongside his family and friends—something to make up for the lost time. What he receives, however, is far from ordinary. As Avince experiments with his new powers, he uncovers hidden truths about the world around him—secrets tied to the dungeons, the mana that fuels their existence, and the abilities that shape everything. Can he master his newfound strength, or will the unpredictable nature of his awakening prove too much to control? Join Avince on a journey to discover his place in a world defined by power, family, and the dangerous unknown, where every twist and turn leads to even greater mysteries.

When Fantasy Glitches

What happens when reality starts to bug out and your life as you know it is flipped upside down? Anomalies that couldn't possibly exist start to pop out of nowhere. This was the exact situation Magnus found himself in after a bizarre glitch yanked him from his own universe and tossed him into another. In this new, fantastical world brimming with magic and supernatural phenomena, Magnus's unexpected arrival landed him in possession of the Command Console, a tool that seems to be able to edit almost anything. With it, Magnus creates a variety of supernatural abilities that defy all common sense, even in a world of fantasy. Whether it was one that granted him truly endless strength or the ability to create detailed simulations of reality within his own mind, anything was possible. But Magnus isn't the only instance of such logic-defying abilities. All over the world, glitches are starting to manifest in weird ways: a brick that could knock anything unconscious with a single touch, a child whose perception of the world could affect reality, or even a woman who was, inexplicably, everyone's mother—there seemed to be no rhyme or reason behind any of them. When faced with all of these chaotic elements, Magnus comes to a decision. "Alright, if these are all glitches, then I'll simply have to be the one to fix them." Release Schedule: Monday, Wednesday & Friday. (Around 7:11 PM Eastern Standard Time) - This novel is also being posted on Royalroad, and can be read here; https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/84118/when-fantasy-glitches The Royalroad version is 10 Chapters ahead and has the original format.

The world of sinners

In a modern world divided into two opposing continents, society is strictly compartmentalized. On one of the continents, underdeveloped and often despised, live the Sinners, beings endowed with powers born from their faults and weaknesses. Everyone carries the burden of their sin, materialized by unique abilities but often perceived as dangerous or unpredictable. On the other side, on a prosperous and technologically advanced continent, live the Saints, those who possess gifts derived from their virtues and purity. They too have powers, but they are highly revered and live in wealth and admiration. The story follows Élise, a young girl with an improbable destiny: born with the essence of both worlds, she is both sinner and saint. Endowed with powers from both continents, she is rejected by the Saints, who consider her impure, and feared by the Sinners, who see in her a dangerous anomaly. Lost between these two identities, Élise will be pushed on a quest to discover the truth behind the separation of the two continents and the origin of her powers. As she ventures further and further into these two worlds, Élise discovers secrets buried for centuries, revealing that the line between sin and virtue is much finer than we think. The powers she carries within her could either unite the two continents or destroy them. But to achieve this, she will first have to fully accept who she is, even if it means questioning everything she has been taught about good and evil. --- This synopsis introduces the conflict between the two continents, Élise's dilemma between her two identities, and a quest for the reconciliation of the two worlds.

Mutation Hunter: The Weakest Boy in His Bloodline Who Joined the War

In a future ravaged by a war among three world powers—Neoamerica, Euronova, and Unionia—the planet has plunged into chaos. Chemical weapons and biological diseases unleashed in the conflict have destroyed nations and decimated entire populations. In this dark landscape, the small country of Columbia, caught between these superpowers, suffers the worst consequences: its inhabitants, mutated by the bacteriological warfare, now possess superhuman abilities. This anomaly turns them into both a threat and a symbol of resistance against the dominance Neoamerica seeks to impose. Edmund Vexley, a sixteen-year-old soldier from Neoamerica, has always dreamed of piloting a mecha, those majestic war machines that form the backbone of his nation’s military. However, his physical frailty condemned him to the rank of a common soldier, far from the feats of his friends. But his life changes drastically when he and his generation are called to join a decisive mission: to crush Columbia’s rebellion, a nation reportedly fallen under the control of abusive mutants terrorizing ordinary citizens. For Edmund, this mission will be more than just a military operation; it will be an awakening to a reality he never imagined. Faced with the brutality of conflict and the complexities of a fractured society, he must question the loyalties he’s taken for granted and the truths he’s been taught. In a world where heroes and villains blur together, Edmund will have to decide whom he can trust—and, more importantly, who he can become.
