A Matter Of Pride

Title: Time's Fist: strength is all that matters Synopsis: In a world where fate can be rewritten through sheer willpower, one man is given the chance to correct a tragic past. When an enigmatic force grants him a mysterious, all-powerful boxing system, he finds himself back in the gymnasium of his middle school, a place brimming with both nostalgia and unfinished business. The scent of sweat and old wood fills the air, but time is not on his side. His mission? To stop the man who would become his greatest enemy: Jack. Once a friend and ally, Jack is destined to rise as a ruthless criminal mastermind, leading a violent Gang that will ultimately end in the brutal death of the protagonist. But this time, he has the upper hand. Armed with the ability to harness the strength of legendary boxers and the mastery of techniques passed down through time, he must fight not only against Jack’s growing power but also his own doubts about whether he can truly change the course of history. Each punch he throws, each fight he wins, brings him closer to the moment where his enemy’s fate could be sealed—but at what cost? As he steps into the ring of his past, every battle is more than a fight for survival; it's a war for his future and his identity. Will he be able to rewrite history and save the life that was taken from him, or will he become a pawn in the hands of destiny? In Time's Fist, the past is a battleground, and every strike could change everything. But there more to the story a great twist read to find out

Becoming a Devourer wasn't exactly on my bucket list, but hey, life has a way of throwing curveballs - or in my case, man-eating beasts. Sure, I could blame it on the irresistible taste of beast meat, but let's be honest, curiosity and a hefty dose of bad luck played their parts too. Little did I know that one impulsive snack would catapult me into a world where death lurks around every corner, hunger is a constant companion, and 'close call' becomes my middle name. From navigating the treacherous politics of the large cities to facing off against beasts that make your worst nightmares look like fluffy kittens, my life quickly became a non-stop rollercoaster of 'oh crap' moments. But this isn't just my story. It's also the tale of four others whose paths intertwine with mine in ways I never could have imagined. (Though between you and me, I'm clearly the star of this show.) Together, we're fumbling our way through a world where power comes at a price, alliances shift like sand, and the line between human and monster blurs with every bite. So buckle up, dear reader. You're in for a wild ride filled with dark humor, questionable decisions, and more adrenaline-pumping action than you can shake a spear at. Welcome to my Path as a Devourer - where staying alive is the ultimate goal, and dinner might just eat you back. Discord: https://discord.gg/EeZKdbrsHF

The boy I revered as a deity forever remained at the height of his splendor—eighteen years old. He perished in that lush midsummer, filled with the chirping of cicadas and the rustling of verdant leaves. Yet, I am missing the memory of his death. Caught between dream and reality, I returned to the year of his eighteenth summer. I longed to dream an eternal dream from which I would never awaken. But when dreams dissolve into reality, and illusions fade into desolation, I realize it was all a fleeting illusion. Seeing the boy standing between dream and reality, his anxious voice called out to me. Unconsciously, I watched everything around me shift and transform. Was it the deity who saved me, or was it I who saved the deity?

This chance encounter transforms Tony's ordinary life into something extraordinary as the being, nicknamed "Roomie," begins to repair itself by enhancing Tony's mind and body with abilities far beyond human limits. Together, Tony and Roomie navigate the intricacies of their shared consciousness, with Tony gaining an unparalleled understanding of the universe’s fundamental forces—dark matter and dark energy. As Tony’s powers grow, so do his responsibilities, forcing him to balance his evolving identity with his relationships, especially with his fiercely loyal girlfriend, Jay, who struggles to reconcile the man she loves with the extraordinary being he’s becoming. As Tony’s bond with Roomie deepens, he embarks on an intense journey of self-mastery, training to manipulate dark matter and eventually create the building blocks of the universe itself. With Roomie’s guidance, Tony begins constructing atoms from scratch, learning to harness his newfound abilities while grappling with the weight of his transformations. But as the pair uncover the secrets of the cosmos, Tony must face the challenges of integrating his superhuman abilities into his life, all while understanding the profound implications of wielding the universe’s most powerful forces. In a story that blends science fiction with human connection, The Dark Matter Sage explores what it means to grow, adapt, and take responsibility for unimaginable power.

Gifted a candle that was said to make wishes come true, Alice Clemente burned it to find herself awake in a different world. She had wished for a life of adventure away from the city and its routine. With her wish granted, she was no longer in the 21st century and was instead lost in the middle of the Kingdom of Gladiolum, a place reminiscent of the 1800s. With luck, she soon gained connections to the rich and powerful of this new world— the nobility. However, how much of it was good and how much of it would eventually be detrimental? After all, mingling with royals not only meant extravagance and daily parties. It also meant warfare and death. Caught in the middle of the two princes and other nobles, Alice would soon have to face the battle between those two royal brothers― a fight for the throne. She had wished for adventure, after all, and she received just as such. Kept in the center of all this, would Alice be able to emerge from the rabbit hole unscathed? Or will the overwhelming troubles of love and war be too much for her to bear? *** “And what if you, too, are unable to help?” Alice threw the question back. “What if helping would risk everything?” Spade didn’t miss a beat. “You are everything.” “Don’t say things that you don’t mean,” Alice chided. “You’ll leave a trail of broken hearts.” “And would you believe me if I say that I have no intention of breaking yours?” Spade countered. “However, mine is yours to play with. Shatter it, fix it, do anything you desire. As long as it feels the warmth of your hand, I am content.” *** Image used in cover not mine.
