Fullmetal Alchemist Edward Dies

Cameraman Never Dies

In the greed-filled world of corporate empires and magic knights, Min Jae was a king in business, with pockets so deep he could drown in them. That is, until his life deemed his playthrough unfair and gave him a red card. Poison was his family's best friend, as everyone had at least tasted it once, not twice because they never could. Death was never on his calendar, neither was an offer for a divine gig. Enter the Deity of Stories, a celestial being with a fetish for plot twists, who offers Min Jae a deal he can't refuse: become her divine cameraman. No, not the kind with a lens, but one who records the tales of mortals. In return, he gets a second shot at life, in a world where his dearly departed parents are alive and well, ready to dote on him from birth. Reborn as Judge (because “Min Jae 2.0” sounded too dull), he quickly realizes this new life is no gift. This steampunk utopia, filled with airships, clockwork gadgets, and an alarming lack of Wi-Fi, thrives on manipulation. But who needs the internet when you have a divine camera and the sharp mind to control it all? Judge isn’t just here to record stories; he’s here to write them, casting himself as the mastermind behind every twist and turn. Armed with his divine powers, he navigates complex schemes, power-hungry nobles, and ruthless industrialists, all while keeping his ultimate goal hidden: to ascend to godhood and rewrite his own fate. Of course, he generally makes a glorious mess of things, all while trying to keep his dear parents blissfully unaware of his less-than-angelic schemes. But as the stakes rise and the Deity of Stories watches his every move, Judge must tread carefully. Can he manipulate his way to the top, or will he become just another character in someone else’s plot twist? --- The story won't be dropped and I will continue until the end. So, I appreciate your support through Power Stones and Golden Tickets, Just read the first few chapters I am confident that you would like this thing.

GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions known. Thank you.

Laksana Raja di Laut

Letnan Tom Ah Seng, seorang perwira TNI Angkatan Darat yang berdedikasi, akhirnya memutuskan untuk pensiun setelah lebih dari 30 tahun mengabdi. Di usia lima puluh, ia memilih pulang ke kampung halamannya di Pulau Batam, dengan harapan menghabiskan sisa hidupnya dalam damai, jauh dari hiruk-pikuk tugas militer yang telah menyita sebagian besar hidupnya. Namun, segalanya berubah saat perjalanan pulang itu membawa dirinya ke tempat yang tak pernah ia bayangkan. Dalam penerbangan, Tom tertidur lelap, tetapi ketika terbangun, ia mendapati dirinya bukan lagi di pesawat. Ia berada di sebuah rumah tradisional di tepi pantai, dihiasi dengan seni khas Melayu yang begitu asing namun akrab di matanya. Pemandangan laut yang memukau tampak kontras dengan kebingungannya. Di tengah suasana yang tak terjelaskan itu, tiba-tiba sebuah layar bercahaya muncul di hadapannya, melayang dengan pesan yang membingungkan: "Masa lalu memanggilmu kembali." Potongan-potongan kenangan dari kehidupan militernya mulai terungkap, membawa ingatan akan janji-janji, pengorbanan, dan dosa-dosa yang mungkin tak pernah sepenuhnya ditinggalkan. Saat Tom berusaha memahami apa yang terjadi, ia menyadari bahwa ini bukan sekadar perjalanan menuju masa pensiun. Dunia, atau mungkin takdir, belum selesai dengannya. Ia akan dihadapkan pada misi yang jauh lebih besar dari sekadar perang-sebuah panggilan dari masa lalu yang menuntut jawaban, pengorbanan, dan keberanian terakhirnya. Di manakah Tom sebenarnya berada? Apakah ini mimpi, realitas lain, atau bayangan dari masa lalunya yang belum selesai? Dalam kisah yang penuh misteri, perjuangan, dan penebusan, Tom Ah Seng harus kembali menjadi prajurit-bukan untuk bangsa, tetapi untuk sesuatu yang lebih besar.

An Alchemist's Assistant

Jack Ryder is a young apprentice to a skilled but mysterious Alchemist in the towering city of Arcfall, a vertical metropolis divided into levels. Each level, from the dark slums of the Ankles to the sunlit Ribcage, reflects a starkly different way of life. For Jack, living and working in the Ribcage is a dream come true—a far cry from the harsh Ankles where he grew up. Jack spends his days gathering rare ingredients and delivering potions, always eager to impress the Alchemist and learn more about her craft. But during a routine trip to the Ankles, he finds the area eerily empty and is stopped by soldiers searching for a dangerous fugitive. While trying to escape, Jack and the Alchemist discover a strange, dark object hidden in an alley. It’s unlike anything they’ve ever seen, pulsing with an unsettling energy that neither of them can explain. As Jack continues his work, he begins to uncover signs that something is very wrong in Arcfall. The soldiers aren’t just searching for a fugitive—they’re guarding secrets that could upend the city. Strange phenomena are appearing in the lower levels, and whispers of rebellion are rising from the shadows. Jack must figure out the truth behind the mysterious object, the soldiers’ mission, and how it all connects to Arcfall’s future. As the city faces an uncertain fate, Jack is forced to choose: stay safe and keep his place in the Ribcage, or risk everything to protect the people and the city he loves.

Intrigued, and with little to lose, Damian decides to visit the property, only to discover that his grandfather’s legacy is far more complex than he imagined. At the heart of the mansion is an ancient, hidden laboratory filled with cryptic notes and strange, alchemical equipment. Damian quickly learns that his grandfather was part of a secretive alchemical order dedicated to uncovering the Philosopher's Stone. His grandfather had been on the verge of a breakthrough—one that involved transmutation of not just metal, but reality itself. As Damian delves deeper into his grandfather's research, he starts experiencing strange occurrences. Time warps. Shadows move on their own. Old enemies of the order resurface, determined to seize the secrets Damian has inherited. To protect his life and the legacy of his family, Damian must master the forbidden knowledge of alchemy before it consumes him. In a race against time and enemies both seen and unseen, Damian discovers that the true power of alchemy is not in transmuting gold—but in unlocking the secrets of life, death, and the universe itself. However, every step he takes closer to mastering alchemy brings him closer to a dangerous truth: that some knowledge was never meant to be found.

Kisahku di Dunia Lain

Mungkin ini hanya hipotesis....tapi bukan berarti ini tidak mungkin bahwa sebenarnya Dunia ini hanhalah permainan di atas papan catur. Mungkin saja.....Dunia ini hanyalah sebuah buku di salah satu ratusan rak buku dari sebuah keberadaan di luar eksistensi yang sebenarnya melihat realita dunia ini sebagai tulisan cerita? Misalnya, bagaimana jika dunia ini sebenarnya hanyalah sebuah mimpi dari keberadaan tak terduga yang sewaktu-waktu bisa hancur ketika dia terbangun? Misalnya, bagaimana jika Dunia ini sebenarnya adalah sebuah papan simulasi dari jutaan perkiraan simulasi sebelumnya dari sebuah komputer super canggih yang sudah mencapai tingkat Mahatahu dan Mahakuasa? Bagaimana jika Dunia ini sebenarnya hanyalah bagian tubuh dari sesosok makhluk kosmik yang luar biasa besar? Terakhir, bagaimana jika dunia ini sebenarnya hanyalah satu dari banyaknya dunia yang keseimbangannya dijaga oleh satu keberadaan hakim kosmik? .....Bagaimana? Sudah ada gambaran? Seorang pahlawan tertentu memikirkan ini ketika dia ditarik ke dunia fantasi seperti ini dimana ada beberapa Kosmologi bercampur menjadi satu dan tidak ada kedamaian sama sekali. Mungkin ini Dunia yang indah, tapi dia paham bahwa dibalik indahnya Dunia ini, intrik dan hukum baru, lokasi, serta sejarah menjadi sesuatu yang tidak dikenali kebenarannya. Kebenaran tidak dapat dicari oleh akal, karena akal itu neutral sifatnya. Manusia yang menggunakan akal dengan dasar mencari kebenaran hanya akan menemukan keganjilan yang pahit. Pahlawan itu mendongak ke langit, dia melihat horizon, zenith, atau apapun yang berada jauh di luar keberadaan planet ini, menembus alam semesta dan menemukan kosmologi lainnya yang memiliki misteri lebih tinggi dari tempat ini. Berwarna emas menyilaukan, tak terjangkau, permata Dunia, itu adalah Kosmologi Divine, tempat tinggal dari semua makhluk yang dikatakan sebagai Roh Ilahi yang merupakan perwujudan dari bintang-bintang di Alam Semesta. Melambangkan kekal, abadi, umur panjang, kecantikan, itulah Kosmologi Eternity, tempat tinggal para elf yang menjaga Pohon Dunia. Dikatakan mereka abadi, dan mereka dikatakan sudah ada sejak Alam Semesta mereka terbentuk. Simbol kekerasan, haus darah, kanibal dari para kanibal, wilayah yang didiami oleh para Raksasa kejam dan menakutkan adalah Kosmologi Kronus. Diperintah oleh Tujuh Raja Iblis, perlambangan dosa, kehormatan yang terdistorsi, silsilah bangsawan iblis, pilar kekacauan adalah perwujudan di Kosmologi Avenger ini. Kosmologi yang ditempati oleh mereka yang kuat, beringas, menghargai kawanan, monster diantara monster, penopang dunia, simbol kekuatan tempat tinggal dari semua naga yang sangat besar dan kuat, ini adalah Kosmologi Cryph yang putih. Kosmologi Exodus, wilayah yang ditempati oleh para dwarf yang dikatakan memiliki pengetahuan tertinggi diantara semua Kosmologi. Bahkan dikatakan bahwa setiap dwarf telah mengantarkan situasi dimana mereka bisa menjelaskan semua fenomena di Alam Semesta dengan mudah. Dan terakhir adalah Kosmologi Krishna, tempat tinggal ras dengan populasi terbanyak, ini adalah tempat manusia tinggal. ....Sekarang kalian bertanya-tanya, apa yang Pahlawan ini pikirkan bukan? Buuk.... Suara sebuah buku tertutup terdengar, dan disana [Aku] tersenyum pada kalian dengan sangat cerah seolah menemukan teman yang [setara]. [Aku] berkata: "Ini adalah kisah yang sangat panjang, dimana seorang remaja dan teman-temannya tiba-tiba saja tanpa ada persiapan dibawa ke Dunia Lain. Perjuangan, Rasionalitas, Cinta, Kelicikan, Kegilaan, dan Keingintahuan adalah apa yang mereka bawa.....Mau mendengar kisahnya?" [Aku] membuka buku itu lagi tapi dari halaman awal dan bercerita dengan nada lembut: "Cerita ini dimulai, ketika Pahlawan kita, Minazuki Akihito terbangun dari tidurnya...."
