Mechanical Magician

Sinner of the Spades

'Sinner of the Spades' takes place in an alternate early 20th century, at the turn of industrial advancement. Set in a world where one Empire rules over the majority of the western continent, the world is ravaged by the aftereffects of a great war. It is a world of tragedy, of longing for wealth, of parading high above the clouds, of mechanical automatons, and of grand tales of sorcery not many have had the chance to see themselves. Lumière Croft is a show magician in the middle borough of the city-state of Leiden- rather, an illusionist. A career liar. Responsible for making money to help out at the monastery he lives in, he can only curse the dreadful circumstances around him, and wish desperately that something would change. Although, that change is not always a good thing. Only when the shadows around him begin to creep, and when the sky grows burgeoning eyes, and when blood is spilled, does he find hope of fulfilling his wishes. To have sunlight, the world must be balanced with cruelty. To have power, one must lose their soul, humanity, morality, or sanity. One must ultimately balance the scales of their debt, or fall eternally to suffering, and have the scales corrected by force. This is the story of balance, of hope, and of the tragedy of a liar. —- “We’re all liars who pretend that the world is okay, and as liars we adopt philosophies and ideologies to cope with its cruelty. Because the world has hope, as long as we speak these lies loud enough, they’ll surely become true.” - Lumière Croft. --- Cover illustration done by @i_evuuu/Everest

Married to a mechanic, she shocked the world

【StrongFL,Faceslapping】 【Superrich ML,sweet pampering】 Lin Wu was reborn. Her mother was duped into a sham marriage by a worthless man. And she herself was the pitiful illegitimate daughter kicked out of a wealthy family. She was mocked, "What can a wild child from the countryside amount to?" Facing adversity, she smiled faintly. What did being an illegitimate daughter of a wealthy family matter? She helped her poor mother to kick her worthless father to the curb, quickly gave her stepmother the boot, crushed the trash. She established her own skincare brand, living a prosperous life ever since. Forgiving her enemies? Never. If there's no justice, she will be the justice herself. —— Just as Lin Wu's life is thriving, her grandfather's family, who had been missing for many years, finally found her! And so, the woman who everyone thought was forsaken, divorced and saddled with a child, unexpectedly became the sole heir to a super wealthy family. What shocked Lin Wu even more was that her "good-for-nothing" car mechanic boyfriend transformed overnight into an unattainable top tycoon. Afterwards, Lin Wu became a lady of high society, who got everything handed to her on a platter and was pampered by the tycoon to the heavens and back. —— Later. Lin Wu had become a renowned female entrepreneur. Standing on a high platform, she delivered her speech: "Our ancestors mostly valued boys over girls. They neglected the education and growth of girls, trapped them between household and trivial matters, asserting that husband was heaven and son was earth. Once betrayed by men, these women would lose their support and be condemned as ruined!" "But today!" "Look at this plaza filled with thousands of people, they are all young female entrepreneurs, the hope of humanity!"

The Butcher Of Magicians

– – THIS IS JUST A DRAFT AND AS SUCH AM NOT TAKING IT SERIOUSLY HOWEVER IF YOU THINK ITS GOOD SURPPOT ME WITH POWERSTONES IF I GET ENOUGH I WOULD REWRITE IT AND ENSURE ITS PROFESSIONALLY WRITTEN (^_^) PS— A book which I am, actually taking seriously is called The Gravity Villain's Silent Return if you enjoy my writting check it out :) I guarantee it won't be a waste of your time :} Title: The Butcher of Magicians Genre: Action, Fantasy, Manipulative, Obsessive, Gore, Antihero --- Synopsis: In the world of Magaeth, magic reigns supreme. The most powerful magicians are not only respected but feared, holding unimaginable influence over all who cross their paths. At the top of this hierarchy, a select few wield immense power, their strength practically untouchable. Yet beneath this veil of strength and prestige, an unseen predator lurks in the shadows—a man with no magic, yet an uncanny ability to manipulate and destroy those who are. Ezra Drax is not your typical hero or villain. He’s neither driven by a thirst for power nor vengeance. Ezra is a hunter, and his prey? The strongest magicians in the world. A former swordsman with no magical abilities, Ezra has mastered the art of infiltration, psychological manipulation, and most disturbingly, the thrill of the kill. He is an enigmatic figure, charming yet sinister, blending in with his surroundings while quietly making his way toward his true goal: to destroy the very magicians who believe they are untouchable. When Ezra infiltrates Thalorian Academy, a prestigious school for the world's elite magicians, he presents himself as nothing more than a humble, curious swordsman seeking to improve his skills. But beneath his calm and unassuming exterior, Ezra is on a far darker mission—one kill at a time. He begins with Orland, an arrogant and ambitious magician at the academy, feeding him lies and deceit to fuel his obsession with power, until it is too late for Orland to turn back. Ezra’s calculated manipulation leads him to other powerful targets, each kill more brutal and bold than the last. Ezra’s manipulations are a work of art—his victims don’t see it coming until it’s too late. The academy’s leadership is soon aware of the mysterious deaths but cannot pinpoint the killer. As Ezra continues his ruthless pursuit, he remains several steps ahead, always in control, his own goals hidden behind the façade of a mere observer. But there’s a growing tension. Ezra’s increasing recklessness—fueled by his twisted obsession with killing strong magicians—puts him on a dangerous path, one that could lead to his exposure. With every victim, his legend grows, but so does the danger of his undoing. In a world where power and survival are everything, Ezra’s greatest challenge may not be the magicians he targets, but the temptation to push his obsession to its limits. The Butcher of Magicians is a dark, action-packed tale of manipulation, betrayal, and the chilling pursuit of an unrelenting predator. As Ezra carves his bloody path through the academy, readers will be swept into a world where nothing is what it seems, and the line between hunter and hunted blurs into nothingness. Will Ezra’s thirst for the kill consume him, or will his obsession be his ultimate downfall? One thing is certain: in a world ruled by magic, it’s not always the strongest who survive but the cunning A/NThis takes a lot of effort and time to make compared to my other novels which don't involve as much deception so unless it does well I would not be posting more chapters as this is purely experimental
