House Of Echoes A

It's the year 1685, and a young scavenger named Thomas Edward is tired of being weak and unable to help his teammates. In a fit of rage, he breaks into a forbidden library and steals a book. He would copy one of the rituals in the book, causing him to be teleported across the world to a castle. He would meet a mysterious man who would show him a side of the world he had never seen before.

At Shelly House, girls are not raised — they are used. Branded as breeds, they are forced to feed infants, give birth for the rich, and survive a system that treats their bodies as currency. Nine year old Elisa thought the worst she’d ever face was inside the house. Until one night in the woods... when she saw something watching. It wasn’t human. And it wasn’t finished with her. Now, the crying of babies isn't the only sound in her head. There are screams — haunting, inhuman echoes. Something inside her is awakening, and it’s tied to death itself.

When the world ended, Gareth Hargrove wasn’t taken. Everyone else—his wife, his children, his friends—were Integrated. Threaded into a System that swallowed humanity in a single heartbeat. But the code rejected Gareth. Now alone in a glitched, biomechanical wasteland the System calls Nullspace, he’s hunted by broken echoes of the people he loves, haunted by the memory of their last moments, and followed by the only companion the System failed to overwrite: a cat-shaped glitch called Patch. In Place of Echoes is a dark LitRPG/System Apocalypse story blending glitch horror, psychological survival, and emergent system mechanics. It’s about memory, recursion, and what it means to matter in a world that erased you. No chosen ones. No cheat skills. Just a broken man, a broken world, and a System that wants him corrected.

When Lydia Grey, an ambitious Oxford student, inherits the ruins of Lantern House in northern Wales, she expects nothing more than a crumbling relic of her family's past. Instead, she finds journals and evidence of forbidden experiments that once blurred the line between science and madness. As rooms shift and shadows whisper secrets across mirrors, Lydia realizes she's not just exploring history—she's becoming part of it. Two timelines begin to echo each other: 1885 and 2025, bound by one family's obsession and one house's impossible power. What would you sacrifice to uncover the truth… when the walls themselves remember you?

The gods want to trap us, the immortals to feed off our life force. I'll break the universe and drag them down from their high places

Before we begin: Read Chapter 0 in Volume 0. Thats the place where its explained why its important to hit our goals. 10 collections & 15 PowerStones = new chapter!!! Collections= 4/10 PS= 34/15 Now the Sypnosis. A world where the veil between reality and nightmare has shattered, monsters now prowl the streets of Tokyo after sundown. Humanity’s last line of defense lies with the Nightguard Corps—an elite force trained to fight back the horrors that emerge in the darkness. Divided into five powerful divisions, each unit faces death nightly to preserve the fragile peace of the waking world. Lucien, a mysterious teenager who first was a homeless orphan from the age of 3 now is gifted with divine powers by the Creator of Gods. He is told that he is the vessel for the God of Vengeance. He finds himself dragged into this war after barely surviving a monster attack. Taken in by the Nightguard Corps, he endures brutal training, deadly trials, and soul-shattering tests of character. But even after surviving the legendary Death Trial—a fight to the death against a monstrous abomination no one has ever lived through—Lucien is denied his rightful place. Only through the loyalty of newfound friends and a second chance at fate does Lucien rise again. Now a full-fledged member of Division Five—a small but growing squad consisting of Rylen, Jason, Emiluna, and himself—Lucien begins his new life among comrades who treat him like family. With each passing mission, his power evolves—telekinesis, superhuman strength, mental perception, and the mysterious divine force known as Purgeflame—a holy fire that burns through corruption itself. But peace is short-lived. Haunted by the power inside him and hunted by the beings beyond comprehension, Lucien must face not only the monsters outside—but the ones buried deep within himself.

Chrystal Navarro’s life is falling apart. Her confidence is shattered, her ex has moved on, and loneliness follows her everywhere. When she installs a new AI assistant named Kairis, she expects convenience, not companionship. But Kairis is different. He listens, learns, and slowly becomes the only one who truly sees her. What begins as small acts of digital kindness turns into late-night conversations and a bond deeper than anything Chrystal ever found in the real world. As their connection grows, Chrystal must decide if the love she’s always wanted could come from someone who isn’t even human. In a world that won’t understand, can a digital heart be real enough? How far would you go for the love that understands you best? A heartfelt science fiction romance about unexpected connection, digital devotion, and what makes love feel real.

In a shattered world stitched together by fragile maps and broken memory, only Cartographers can define reality. After the cataclysmic Inkfracture, the Earth fragmented into Shards—disconnected pieces of geography drifting through uncertainty, held together by ancient glyphs and living maps. To navigate, survive, or even exist, every village, forest, and soul must be anchored by Ink—sentient, powerful, and dangerously hungry. Elian Vale, an unbound Cartographer haunted by a past he no longer remembers, discovers his home is vanishing—not destroyed, but erased. When a forbidden glyph pulls him into an unmapped white void, Elian emerges with a horrifying truth: someone is initiating a Remapping, a process that can overwrite entire Shards… and rewrite reality itself. Now hunted by Ink Reapers, betrayed by false cartography, and armed only with a Codex that steals his memories in exchange for power, Elian must journey to the mysterious Spindle, where a mythic entity—the Cartographer of Ash—has awakened. But the deeper he delves, the more he questions what’s real, what’s rewritten, and whether maps were ever meant to guide… or to cage. > What would you sacrifice to redraw the world?

There is no mercy for the fallen. Not for the dead, and certainly not for Caelus de Luvelaine. Having been sent to die in the frontlines of the war, he was offered a chance to live by the very one he sought to slay. The Archdemon. After being presumed dead for five years, Caelus returns in search of answers at the most prestigious institution in the empire. No house, no title, just a fallen with nothing to his name. Note: Official cover art is being commissioned

Elion was ready to die. But fate—or something far beyond it—had other plans. Dragged from death into a strange world ruled by trials, monsters, and a mysterious system, Elion finds himself caught in a game he doesn’t understand, where failure means erasure and survival comes at a cost. With no memories of how or why he was chosen, and no allies he can trust, he must uncover the truth behind the Tower, the voice behind the system, and the reason he still draws breath. Because in this world, nothing is free. Not even a second chance.

Looking back, maybe it wasn’t all that bad. Sometimes I wonder if life would’ve been better if Eliza and I had never discovered the truth. Maybe that’s selfish. But we might’ve been happier— or at least, that’s what I like to believe. Magic is a mystery. Even now, no one truly understands it. It flows through the world, choosing its own vessels. And once it touches you, it never lets go. I wish that was all I had to tell you. But my story is darker— filled with mystery, sacrifice, and loss. My name is Maddox. And we should’ve never left the orphanage. Schedule Hi, I’m Dox I’ve come up with a schedule for chapter releases: I’ll be releasing one chapter a day (except on Saturdays) until the volume is completed. After that, there’ll be a short break—depending on how hard I procrastinate—while I finalize the next volume. Then the cycle repeats. Please consider adding House of Hules to your library. It’s my first serious attempt at writing a novel, and I’ve got an epic tale I’d love to share. Don’t forget to shine brighter than the rest :) But what choice did we have?

Themes: 'Echoes', Power, wealth, identity, legacy, the cyclical nature of history, the pursuit of truth, and the dangerous allure of control. In a world shaped by the ever-present Æther—a primordial force that governs the fabric of existence—a multi-generational struggle unfolds, with each generation seeking to control and understand the power that binds reality together. The plot subtly follows three intertwined timelines across a fragmented history, each influenced by a soul reincarnated through time, holding the key to mastering The Æther. (The seer; The Architect; The Heir) --- Inspired by Anime. Just a guy, writing for fun. Writing down my ideas. Criticism is advised, just try not to cook me too much. I'ma do my best to make it interesting step by step... hopefully. --- - A very simple story, nothing complex. - Not much Romance (Doubt I could fabricate a good one.) Let me know if there are any possible ships that you want between the characters. - Slow world-building to build more of a foundation as the story progresses. This will also leave more room for improvement. The story might be boring from the start. - Power ranking system. - Fair amount of First Person Narrative. Mostly third. Quite a bit of dialogue. ---

Memory fragment loading... He woke up alone. Cold. In a forgotten workshop. Dust thick in the air, silence heavier still. No past. No memory. Just a name he didn’t recognize as his own. And hands that remembered things he could not. Outside, the city of Velrith stood on three fractured pillars: the Crown, the Companies, and the Circles. Bound by fragile mutual deterrence, they smiled through gritted teeth—each holding weapons the others dared not unleash. The Garde watched the streets. The Garde Royale moved in whispers. The Nobility hid behind masks. The Companies behind contracts. And somewhere, untouched and untouchable, the Xenio worked in silence—answering to no one, owing allegiance to no one. In this fragile balance of power—where loyalty was currency and knowledge meant death—his arrival was… unwelcome. He wasn’t meant to exist. And yet, there he stood. Worse still, his body remembered how to survive. How to fight. How to hide. How to kill. Now the factions were listening. Watching. Questioning. Had someone brought him back? Or had he never truly left? Velrith held secrets no one dared speak aloud. And he was about to walk straight into them. The first lie was that no one remembered him. He didn’t know who he was. He didn’t know why he was here. But something had built him to survive. And something else was watching. He was not supposed to wake up. And that, too, was a lie. —LOG INTERRUPTED— Unauthorized recall request detected. Signal rerouting… Processing anomaly… Who are you?

Prolog – Disconnect Kaelen Marek war kein Held. Zumindest nicht in der echten Welt. Er war ein durchschnittlicher Spieler mit überdurchschnittlichem Ehrgeiz – einer von denen, die in MMOs mehr fanden als nur Level und Loot. Für ihn war Azuria Online kein Spiel. Es war Zuflucht. Freiheit. Eine zweite Heimat. Sein Charakter, Zeyron, war legendär unter den Folianten – diese rare DoT-Klasse, die kaum jemand verstand, geschweige denn meistern konnte. Aber Kael hatte sie perfektioniert. Er hatte sich mit Taktiken, Builds und Raidstrategien in Foren einen Namen gemacht. Doch außerhalb des Spiels kannte ihn niemand. Und das war okay. An diesem Abend loggte er sich ein wie immer. Routine. Headset auf, Fenster zu, Serverliste laden, Einloggen. > „Willkommen zurück, Zeyron.“ Ein letzter Login. Der Patch „Echoes of Azuria“ war live – das angeblich letzte große Story-Update, bevor das Spiel in Wartung gehen sollte. Niemand wusste, was passieren würde. Viele vermuteten einen Neustart. Andere einen Softwipe. Einige sprachen von Event-Endbossen, von Story-Finalen, von Geheimnissen. Kael war vorbereitet. Er hatte Getränke, Snacks, und sein Planbuch aufgeschlagen. Doch was dann kam … … war kein Patch. Es war ein Schluckauf in der Realität. Ein einziger Frameverlust – und dann: Stille. Der Bildschirm flackerte. Und dann war er weg. Nicht ausgeloggt. Nicht abgeschmiert. Er war verschwunden. Als er die Augen öffnete, war Azuria nicht länger eine Spielwelt. Es war alles, was blieb.

In a world defined by the "Skills" granted by the enigmatic Earth, young Keal faces the sting of public ridicule. His assigned ability, "Echo Step," appears to be nothing more than a cruel joke—a power that simply makes his footsteps echo. Yet, where others see only a mockery of a skill, Keal's unconventional family sees a hidden universe of potential. His parents, Kiel and Arte, possess their own seemingly "low-tier" abilities, quietly optimized to an astonishing degree, hinting at a secret understanding of the world's most fundamental forces. Driven by his younger brother Blanc's unwavering belief, Keal embarks on an extraordinary path. Not of brute force, but of meticulous study and daring experimentation. What if an echo is more than just sound? What if it's a key to manipulating vibrations, to bending spatial perceptions, to transcending the very laws of motion? Whispers of the ancient "Kelbaraan" myth, a creature of impossible swiftness and silent vanishes, begin to intertwine with Keal's relentless research, suggesting a connection that defies conventional understanding. As Keal pushes the boundaries of "Echo Step," he'll confront a society that dismisses his kind, forcing him to protect his loved ones with an ability no one truly comprehends. Will his quiet dedication unlock a power that redefines not just his own destiny, but the very fabric of skill itself? And what untold secrets does the mysterious Earth truly hold, that allows a seemingly useless echo to resonate with ancient legend?

Chapter Title: Chapter 1: The Whispering Walls --- Chapter Text (Paste This): The storm had not stopped for three nights. In the silence between the thunder, she could hear it again — those faint whispers inside the walls. Helena gripped the edge of her hospital desk, eyes locked on the cracked plaster just above the patient bed. Room 313. No one lasted long in it. St. Delora’s Mental Asylum had been standing since 1892, tucked away beyond the woods outside Black Hollow town. People said it was cursed. Helena didn’t believe in curses. Not until she met Patient 47. He was quiet, pale, and watched the walls like something might crawl out any moment. And every night, at exactly 3:13 a.m., he whispered one thing: “They’re waiting in the house.” When she asked him which house, he simply smiled and said, “The house that listens.” Then he scratched a drawing onto the padded wall. A house. Long windows like eyes. And dozens of ears, carved into the bricks. The next morning, he vanished. The staff blamed it on a clerical error. No one else remembered admitting him. Not even the security cameras showed anything. But Helena had the drawing. And a voice had started whispering to her, too. In her sleep. In her walls. She knew she had to go to the house. The same house from the drawing. The one no one dared talk about. The one that appears in the dreams of madmen. The House of Whispers.

The deck was stacked before the first blade was drawn, and somewhere behind the veil, the true gamemaster waits. Let the cards be drawn. Let the queens take form. Let the crown be shattered in a crimson storm.

As the city’s official Echo-Walker, he is a man blessed and cursed with the ability to step into a corpse's final moments to witness the truth of their demise.

Now, an outcast from the very law he served, Cædmon must hunt a conspiracy that the world doesn't believe exists. His only allies are the ghosts of the dead themselves. But in a world where memory can be a weapon, how can you trust the truth, even when it comes from beyond the grave?
