Life Cycle

Riven Cross was just an ordinary man in an unremarkable world—an office worker by day, a lone reader by night. His only escape? A web novel called "Dungeon of Realms: Rise of the Tarot King"—a sprawling epic of dungeon crawls, Tarot-wielding warriors, reincarnated heroes, and a world governed by fate. He had followed every chapter religiously. He knew every plot twist, every dungeon, every villain, every system bug… until the day the story ended with Chapter 999. But for Riven, that was not the end. That night, as he closed the final chapter, he was pulled into the novel itself—not as a hero, not even as a side character, but as the Final Boss—the one who was never supposed to appear until the very last page. Now trapped inside the very narrative he once read, Riven finds himself armed with the Meta Reader System, a broken interface that lets him manipulate scenes, peek into future events, and alter characters’ destinies—at a price. Each use brings him closer to losing his identity, or worse... becoming part of the story forever. To survive, he must conquer the 108 dungeons, outsmart Tarot-bound Lords, defy the divine plot, and rewrite a fate written in blood and betrayal. As the original protagonist begins to lose his mind, and secret organizations rise from the shadows, Riven must become more than a reader—he must become the author of destiny itself. But how far will he go to change a story he was never meant to enter? And in the end... Will he save the world? Or become the monster he once feared?

Liam Calderon was meant to be a first-year student. Instead, he finds himself as a reincarnated weapon. Twice over. Eldoria Academy is no ordinary institution; it serves as a forge for the Cycle Bound individuals reborn from legendary champions, despots, and martyrs throughout history.

Alden, the blade-master who dismantled empires with his celestial swordsmanship. Seraphine, the Shadow Queen, a sorceress notorious for altering the battlefield with her forbidden spells. And Liam? He can’t fully recall either life. Yet the repercussions of both are stalking him. As ancient foes re-emerge and the Nightspawn horrors begin to invade the contemporary realm, Liam is plunged into a conflict he barely comprehends, surrounded by those who know him better than he knows himself including the princess he once adored… and the enigmatic sorceress who may have betrayed him in his past. Now, the world anticipates a savior. But Liam understands the truth. He wasn’t a savior then. He might not be one now. What he truly is what he continues to be is perilous. And if the world wishes to challenge him again, it better brace itself for the storm that follows.

He doesn’t have a name, a face, or a place in the story—except to guide others to their “happy endings.” For thousands of loops, he’s endured heartbreak, despair, and the crushing reset of the world every time something goes wrong.

Suddenly, he can change things—rewrite relationships, alter destinies, maybe even reclaim his own existence. But with freedom comes uncertainty, and the looming threat of the loop snapping shut once more. Can he finally break the cycle and find his own ending, or will the world reset around him one last, merciless time?

When he wakes up in the body of Annalise Sinclair—a girl with everything he never had—Eli is given a life he doesn’t understand and a family that loves someone he’s not. He didn’t ask for this. He doesn’t know why he’s here. But if this is his second chance… He’s going to fight to keep it. Even if it means living someone else’s life.

In every era, one soul bears the burden of divinity… A single soul, chosen by GOD, reincarnates across time as ten divine angels, each destined to live for exactly 82 years among mortals. With every cycle, the world teeters between light and chaos, and each angel must complete their divine task before passing on their wings to the next successor. But the cycle is not pure. One among them—the second angel—This anomaly cracks the heavens and awakens questions no god dares ask. betrayal, hidden memories, and a soul-shattering secret tied to his very creation. As cosmic forces stir and demons rise from forgotten hells, the divine soul must decide: break the cycle or complete it. And far beyond the multiverse, a masked being watches… waiting for the cycle to end—for good or for ruin.

"In a world where death grants strength, one soul was never meant to follow the system-he was meant to break it." Summoned by a goddess into the war-torn realm of Velmora, 18-year-old Riku awakens in a body not his own, bound by a brutal rule: Every time he dies, he may claim any power he desires. But in doing so, he loses all others. To gain fire, he must give up shadow. To wield speed, he must abandon strength. To evolve, he must suffer-again and again. But unlike the hundreds of other "Reborn" before him-warriors who fell into madness after cycling through powers-Riku's soul doesn't fracture. His mind doesn't fade. And his spirit grows stronger with each death. That's when the Goddess of Rebirth appears to him again-revealing a secret that could unmake the gods themselves: Riku's soul is not bound to a single path. His very being is the Origin. Now hunted by celestial guardians, feared by corrupted Reborn, and stalked by a forgotten deity sealed beneath the world.

Life... What is life? Who defines it? Who decides it? Who conceives it? The truth is that we all have it. Some of us hate it. Some of us don't want to lose it. To some it's... precious. To others it's a burden, it's misery... it's a threat. Life is too complex for us -no- for mere humans to understand. It isn't our choice. It has never been our choice. It will never be our choice. So basically, the only thing left for us to do is to choose. Choose whether to leave it or live it. Though, it's easier said than done.

In the land of Nyxara, where each year splits into thirty days of consuming darkness and thirty of blinding light, the soul is a fragile flame—purified by light, corroded by shadow. The wealthy cling to artificial light, preserving their purity. The poor, the Shaded, rot in the dark. Solum, once a puppeteer and orator among the Shaded, wove himself into prophecy. Charismatic and calculating, he rose through the ranks of The Light of the True Flame, a zealous cult that worships sacrificial purity. Through manipulation and myth, Solum positions himself as their chosen martyr—the First Ember, a soul meant to be consumed by sacred fire and delivered to the goddess Solara. But something goes wrong. Instead of ascending, Solum is rejected by the light. His soul fractures but does not die. From the embers of his immolation, he is reborn—not in the light, but within the dark. In this opposite state, darkness no longer corrupts him—it purifies him. The world’s laws no longer bind him. Now hunted by those who once worshipped him and feared by those who still believe, Solum walks the edges of Nyxara as an anomaly—a soul that thrives in shadow, a heretic of divine design. As the next Turning nears, he must decide: will he be the destroyer of the cycle, or its evolution?

But when every memory becomes a battlefield, can the heart still choose light?

I used to be disenchanted of my own hands. Not in some weird psychological way—though maybe it was psychological, who knows. I mean literally afraid that my hands would betray me at the worst possible moment. Which they did. Constantly. Job interviews, presentations, first dates. Anytime people were watching and waiting for me to perform, my fingers would go numb and my brain would just... shut off. Like someone pulled the power cord. I called it ATSM—Anxiety That Stiffens Muscles. Stupid name, but I'm a programmer. I like labeling things, even when I can't fix them. The worst part? It killed my one real passion. I used to love billiards. Was actually decent at it, back in college. But after... well, after something happened that I don't really want to get into right now, I couldn't hold a cue stick without falling apart. So I did what any rational person would do: I gave up. Got a safe job, worked long hours, convinced myself I didn't need hobbies anyway. That plan worked great for about fifteen years. Then I made the mistake of running my mouth on TikTok, challenging the Queen of Nine-Ball to a match. Because apparently when you're having a midlife crisis, the smart move is to embarrass yourself in front of the best billiards player in Southeast Asia. This plot is about what happened after that. It's about meeting people who refused to let me quit, learning to fail in public without dying, and discovering that sometimes the only way forward is to go back and face the thing that broke you in the first place. It's also about billiards, obviously. But mostly it's about being brave enough to suck at something you love, in front of people who matter.

The Dark Halo Cycle is a sweeping collection of interconnected science fiction short stories set within a shared, expansive future where humanity’s reach stretches from Earth’s orbit to the icy edges of the solar system. In this intricate universe, space stations orbit dying planets, corporate secrets fester in low-gravity corridors, and unknowable forces stir in the shadows between the stars. Through disparate voices and settings—an embattled commander on a haunted research vessel, a detective chasing an impossible murder on Olympus Station, and engineers uncovering disturbing anomalies on distant outposts—each story contributes a piece to a larger, unfolding mystery. As characters grapple with identity, loyalty, and truth, subtle threads begin to weave together: unexplained phenomena, duplicated lives, and whispered protocols hint at a deeper, hidden structure guiding—or unraveling—humanity's destiny. Though each tale stands on its own, together they form a mosaic of creeping dread and awe, ultimately revealing that the greatest threats may not come from beyond, but from within.
