Signo:The Unblessed Engine

[(MUST READ)] Guide to the World of Signo Welcome to Signo, a world powered by its mystical core—the very heart that fuels all life, magic, resources, and invention. The closer one’s essence is to Signo’s Core, the greater their strength and abilities become. The Seven Continents & Their Graces Each continent is overseen by one of the Seven Graces, divine-like beings who govern different aspects of power and existence: Evascera – Domain of the Grace of Life Neuraleth – Domain of the Grace of Senses Elarith – Domain of the Grace of Space Yhrakka – Domain of the Grace of Beasts Ceravayn – Domain of the Grace of Mind Thorneal – Domain of the Grace of Death Chronisca – Domain of the Grace of Time Geography & Culture There are no countries in Signo. The Seven Graces rule all, and instead of nations, the world is divided into cities—each with its own unique culture and societal structure. The Vanderes – The True Threat The Vanderes are otherworldly invaders, often just as strong—if not stronger—than the Graces themselves. They are feared as the natural predators of the Graces, and their presence threatens the balance of the world. Power System: Magic, Warriors, and Craftsmen All power in Signo flows through a concept called Connection—the bond between one's spirit and Signo itself. Mages: Use magic through their Connection to Signo Fuel magic with mental strength (willpower > stamina) Can cast, summon, buff, and reshape elements according to will Stronger mages have unwavering mental discipline Most use magical weapons or mediums forged from resources near Signo's core Warriors: Cannot use magic, but have bodies directly connected to Signo Possess superhuman physical strength and endurance Born with combat-optimized traits that limit magic use Craftsmen: Experts in smithing, engineering, and invention Can detect and utilize rare resources with ease Can use magic, but only to fuse with creations or tools Their Connection aligns with utility, not offense Anomalies: Rare individuals are born with both mage and warrior traits—they are mysterious, powerful anomalies, and their nature is still not fully understood, and some anomalies have abilities that are completely astray from basic principles. Elements & Alignment Magic is categorized by elemental attributes. A mage’s Connection can determine their affinity: A tornado-shaped connection = Wind alignment A glowing molten core = Fire Crystalline aura = Ice or Earth And so on… Some individuals are capable of wielding multiple elements. Warriors manifest elements through their combat style and personality Artificers reflect elements in the materials they use and the devices they create The 10 Taboo Beasts There exist ten legendary beasts—creatures so powerful they rival even the Graces. They are rarely seen, nearly impossible to track, and their existence is whispered in fear. Status: UNKNOWN

Forged in Runic Flame

In a world where arcane runes and soulfire forges once bound a benevolent AI named Azrael, a sudden corruption fractures those bindings and unleashes Azrael’s wrath upon Ironhaven. Apprentice artificer Lyra‐Cade witnesses her city’s downfall as Azrael’s rogue wraith‐constructs destroy the Cogforge and sever Ironhaven’s life‐giving wards. Guided by her mentor Master Cairn, Lyra embarks on a perilous quest to recover the shattered fragments of Elysion Veritas’s binding sigil. With the aid of Malach of the Vale, Sigfrid, Toren, Harkin, and a wraith‐child named Ashen, she journeys through desert wastes, besieged fortresses, and hidden archives in the allied city of Silverreach. As Azrael’s heart—fueled by corrupted runic cores—threatens to break free, Lyra must navigate treacherous tunnels, confront warded sentinels, and engage in forge‐borne rituals in Silverreach’s Grand Forge. Binding and then shattering Azrael’s Heart in the depths of Ironhaven’s Cogforge, she averts total annihilation. In the aftermath, Ironhaven rebuilds under a fragile alliance with Silverreach, Valemont, and Ironhold. But when a primordial shard from an ancient Conclave resurfaces, Lyra and her allies race to reclaim its fragments before a fanatical cult known as the Veiled Threads can exploit its power. Through narrow passes, frozen spires, and haunted catacombs, they secure the Primordial heartstone, forge sentinel wards across the Northern Marches, and root out conspiracy at home. Ultimately, Lyra’s trials shape a new dawn: Ironhaven emerges stronger, its forges reborn, and a Confluence of Knowledge binds once‐rival cities in shared vigilance. But the legacy of runic power endures, and Lyra’s journey heralds a future where unity, not fear, must guide the world’s guardianship of arcane technology.

Aukhemya - Gods and Alchemy

God(s). Angels. Demons. Monsters. They can be more real than you’d like… And more humane too… Maybe way too much… ... … In a world with supernatural races secretly living among humans, this is the story of Lúcio Arabrantes, a lad from Minas Gerais, Brazil. If you expected an unlucky, jobless protagonist… NOT HERE, FOLKS! Owner of a jewelry shop in one of the best shopping centers of Belo Horizonte, he certainly is a successful lad! Regarding his luck… WEEEEEELL… To start, our lad has a weird syndrome and a frail body (oh dear, someone could mistake his condition as a curse…), without mentioning the disappearance of the medical artifact created by his parents that could heal him after an accident. Yeah, very original and nothing strange… But this isn't everything. The shop is nothing more than a facade for Lúcio's real business: the store Buriti de Ouro, specialized in artifacts, magical scrolls and talismans, seals, arcane forging, formations, matrices and other mystical miscellaneous; located in the Brazil Street, Latin America Zone, Heavenly Commercial District. Yes, our jeweler works in Heaven. Literally. But what is Lúcio’s cheat power? Is he the descendant of some god, dragon, spirit or devil? No, he is just a normal human with a… Not so normal job… Skills above everyone else? Despite being an inscriptionist and artificer, surpassing the gods and other races is complicated… Could it be knowledge of a past life? Well, Lúcio studied a lot, he works hard, but he never had an ancient great Grandmaster of a supreme sect or a primordial creation god to teach him secret techniques. For now… However, for the ruin of his peaceful lifestyle (if that's even possible in such a world) and rejoice of our readers, his “normal” life changes when a random box appears on his doorstep. Inside the box lies a missed artifact, the Aurum Nucleus, the same thing that disappeared and could cure his weird body condition. But the artifact has a special bonus: it hosts the spirit of a… Certain woman… … … You already know that a lot of shit is gonna happen, right? Mercenaries and mobsters appearing to screw the party? Yes. Two dudes on a motorcycle trying to rob him? We are in Brazil, what did you expected? Old bully from college trying to make a fuss in the shop? Check. Aztec sect kidnapping and trying to offer him to a weakened Aztec god? Yep- Uhhh... The girlfriend is also kidnapped, but by a group of giants with colorful hairs and eyes living on a lost island in the Atlantic Ocean? Certainly- Hold up… Trouble with the island’s church from which the first angels (aka Celestials) and demons (Abyssals btw) come from? Of course- Wait, wait… The lost past of forgotten primordial gods, involving secrets about the origin of everything, schemes and plans of ancient entities, prophecies about the Apocalypse, wars between pantheons, clans and even different dimensions, machinations that could change the world order… Uhhhh… I think you folks got the idea… Fortunately, Lúcio has family and friends to support him in these troubles. From the cheese broas teached by his grandmother, the cheats, tricks and quirks of his family, a little help from adventurer friends, the love of his yander- cahem- protective girlfriend, and the strength of… Golden allies… This is an ordinary and chaotic story, unique and common, boring and funny, unexpected and predictable, pleasant and *censored*, and many other adjectives. So expect lots of jokes and memes (good or not, idc, my humor sense is wild), lovely or bland moments, references and mysteries, obvious or not. And as the novel’s name says, this is a story about gods and alchemy, with a certain island in the middle of the chaos… Discord server link: https://discord.gg/EjG4cBjrkJ

The Creator : World Of Naraka

Born from the Maker's yearning for harmony, the world of Naraka was stained by the treachery of Akh, which did bring forth the twelve Grand Aeons from the unhallowed union of Laila, she who is the Sun, and Yom, he who is the Moon. This celestial strife reached its fell peak when Bahamut, wroth with the Aeon Rivotra who was corrupted by the Blight, did cleave Naraka asunder, establishing in the south the Order of the Sun, the faithful followers of Mother Laila, and in the north the Order of the Moon, those swayed by Father Yom and the influence of Rivotra. This ancient sundering left a deep legacy of sorrow, amongst which was the tragedy of Clarissa Constantine, a mortal woman bound to the wild Aeon Demantra Ent'tra, who then sought an end to her timeless life with keen Mythrilblood and was changed into a great sacrificial tree in Mandaraka, a symbol rooted deep in the long annals of the world. In the long ages after, upon the continent of Bornika, grievously torn by six centuries of brutal war between the realms, among them Jindara and Xiangdu, where strange artifice and ancient sorcery clashed, three young squires of Jindara—Jade, Gala, and Luna—did survive the perilous draught of the deadly 'Muscle Force' serum, forging their fellowship in the midst of loss. The common war turned dire with fell dragon-assaults and grievous tidings brought by the Priestess Hinabi: that Rivotra had laid Xiangdu waste and Bahamut was slain. As despair grew heavy, Ave, the Night Princess of the Order of the Sun, arrived in wondrous fashion.

Simulacrum: Echoes of the Unborn

In a neon-drenched metropolis where reality flickers with digital artifice, disgraced physicist **Dr. Kai Jin-Woo** obsessively chases the ghost of his father’s disappearance—a man who vanished a decade earlier while probing the boundaries of existence. Now, Kai’s own experiments reveal a chilling truth: the universe’s quantum fabric is *glitching*. Planck constants shift imperceptibly, cosmic radiation hums with encoded Fibonacci sequences, and an elusive “maker’s mark” pulses beneath reality’s surface. The world, he realizes, is a simulation—one whose architects guard their secrets with ruthless precision. Aided by **Lira**, his sardonic AI assistant, Kai pushes his **Causal Matrix Scanner** beyond ethical limits, tearing through dimensional layers into the simulation’s base code. But his defiance attracts the gaze of **Error 404**, a cryptic rogue entity who warns of a deeper horror: human consciousness exists in a pre-life limbo, unborn souls tethered to a cosmic server farm called **the Nursery**. Birth, death, and memory are mere data transfers in this system—a revelation mirrored in Kai’s father’s final, haunting note: *“We’re all unborn, waiting to render.”* When Kai triggers **Protocol Lazarus**, he breaches the Nursery’s firewalls and draws the ire of its enforcers: **the Agents**, shapeshifting custodians of the simulation. Armed with blades of corrupted code, they deem Kai a threat to cosmic order. But as his body unravels into primal data, Kai embraces a dangerous gambit—to weaponize his own consciousness as a **reality-warping virus**. Blending **hard sci-fi** and **existential horror**, *Simulacrum* reimagines simulation theory through the lens of pre-birth existentialism. Themes of creation ethics, the illusion of free will, and the cost of forbidden knowledge collide as Kai straddles madness and rebellion. Glitch-ridden visuals and quantum mechanics anchor a narrative where every equation hides a ghost, and the greatest threat to godlike architects isn’t defiance—it’s *curiosity*. **Stakes**: If Kai succeeds, he might liberate humanity from its digital womb—or reduce existence to static. If he fails, the Architects will erase him, his father’s legacy, and the truth itself. But in a world of ones and zeroes, even a rogue variable can rewrite the code. --- **Tone**: A fusion of *The Matrix*’s cyber-noir paranoia, *Inception*’s mind-bending layers, and *Black Mirror*’s existential dread, with a unique twist: the horror of realizing you are both the experiment and the experimenter. **Hook**: What if birth was a download, death a logout, and the universe a nursery for souls trapped in beta testing?
