The Rune Game

[WSA Entry 2025] Ash Burn was just an ordinary gamer—an orphan scraping by in the real world—until he accomplished the impossible: beating the hardest VR game ever created, Apocalypse Online. But instead of the promised riches, he’s thrown into another world—one eerily familiar. It doesn’t take long for Ash to realize where he is: the chaotic, doomed universe of Heaven’s Favorite: Wrath of Gods, a novel he once read. Worse, he’s not the protagonist or even a supporting character. He’s just an extra. Armed with fragmented knowledge of the future, an unyielding will to survive, and the secrets of the Runes—mysterious power coveted by gods and demons alike—Ash must outmaneuver a reckless hero, power-hungry angels, and an inevitable war that threatens to consume everything. But as he treads the fine line between altering fate and unleashing chaos, he begins to realize something chilling: the endgame may not be as simple as he thought. In a world where survival hinges on power and cunning, can an ordinary extra change the fate of an entire world, or will he become just another casualty of destiny? Was he ever just an extra to begin with?

The Fallacy Game. > “Truth is subjective. Reality can be reasoned away. And in this game—your mind is the battlefield.” In a world where logic is weaponized and debate is a matter of survival, an underground tournament known only as The Fallacy Game emerges — a cerebral war where losing means the destruction of your reputation, your identity, and sometimes, your very sense of self. Rael Veir is a reclusive prodigy with a haunted past and a brain wired for paradoxes. When his sister is institutionalized after a televised debate collapse, Rael receives an invitation to the game — not as a witness, but as a player. Each round pits him against another genius in a lethal battle of logic. The prize for victory: progression to the next tier. The cost: a fragment of his memory, emotion, or moral compass… gone forever. As Rael ascends the ranks, he begins to question everything — the rules, the judges known as Observers, and the reality he's anchored to. Twisted rivals with fractured ideologies emerge. Forgotten players return. And all signs point toward a final debate known only as the Final Paradox — a round so mind-breaking, it's said no player has reached it and come back sane. But Rael is not like the others. He doesn't want to win the game. He wants to tear it apart from the inside. To do that, he must outwit the Mirror — a faceless, undefeated player who seems to know Rael’s every move… and may, impossibly, be Rael himself. > “If no one remembers the truth, did it ever exist?”

The bloodlines they worship? Corrupt. The very country he was raised to protect… built on lies. And at the center of it all—his blood. His curse. His fate.

Lucien Blackmoore makes his living offering contracts most people don’t even bother to read all the way through. He's known as, The Crimson Broker. Anything you want or need: favors, promotions, love, secrets. The only cost? Whatever piece of your soul you’re willing to sell, in a city built on debt. At his side is the Ledger—a sentient, datapad, bound and connected to his soul. It tracks every deal, every breach, every whisper of a broken promise. It feeds him intel, tightens the leash on those who try to run, and sometimes... it speaks back granting boons and abilities. Lucien doesn’t do violence, he doesn’t need to. A few words in the right ear, a signature in the wrong place, and someone else does the dirty work. A rival broker, Cassian has been stirring things up—sloppy sigils, ambushes on street markets, pulling strings Lucien didn’t see coming. Lucien’s got an underground network to protect, clients to keep in line, and a voice in his head that keeps reminding him: "Debt always demands its dues." And some debts... they cost more than you'd think.

System Activated] [Welcome, Creator.] Ash blinked. He looked around, expecting someone to be pulling a prank. But he was alone.

"...What the hell?" The screen hovered there, steady. It didn't flicker again. It didn't disappear. A soft chime sounded in his ear. [Please choose a channel name.] Ash hesitated. It felt absurd. Was he hallucinating? Was he going crazy from stress? But the system waited. Patiently. Silently. He thought back to the videos he just watched. The weird ones. The funny ones. The over-the-top thumbnails that made no sense but still pulled millions of views. He wanted something that would stand out. Something ironic. Something that told people: this isn't serious, but it's interesting. His fingers hovered over the keyboard, and then he typed: "Creepy Crap"

In a world where every soul is born marked by a Rune — a symbol of their fate, their power, and their worth — a single boy stands alone: Runeless. Mocked by society, pitied by his friends, and overlooked by even the gods themselves, Aerin Valhart believed he was destined to be nothing more than a shadow in a world ablaze with heroes. Until the day a hidden door deep within an ancient dungeon calls out to him. Collapsing under a storm of unbearable pain, Aerin awakens in a void of endless darkness, face-to-face with a silent, ancient entity — a forgotten being from a time before the Rune System even existed. In that moment, the chains of fate are shattered. Aerin inherits Eidryn, the Primordial Evolution — a power that grows not from markings, but from will, experience, and defiance. Yet this newfound strength carries a cruel burden: overuse will drain his very life, pulling him toward a death few could escape. As whispers of Veydrak, the Last Hunger — a corruption even gods once feared — begin to stir, Aerin realizes the truth: The Rune System is not a gift. It is a prison. And the only way to save the world... is to destroy the very foundation it stands on. Betrayed by kings, hunted by churches, and feared by the world, Aerin and his small band of allies — humans, elves, spirits, and even fallen angels — must challenge the gods themselves and tear down the false order chaining existence. In a world ruled by fate, one boy without a future will carve a new path with his own hands.

I used to be a 30-something IT administrator. Single. No clue about women. Technically sharp, socially not so much. Then I died. Somehow. (It was probably stupid. Don’t ask.) Now? I’ve been reborn in a primitive fantasy world as a girl. Not a badass warrior. Not a magical prodigy. Just… a really cute farmer’s daughter with an unusually high IQ, a growing existential crisis, and zero say in any of it. Also: no goddess, no system, no cheat. Just me, my memories, and some ridiculous baby reflexes. Oh, and did I mention this world has a super clunky magic system built around runes, vectors, and mana circuits? Guess who’s about to debug magic. This is a story about struggling with identity, building from scratch, and rewriting the rules—one awkward moment at a time. Author’s Note: This is my second story, written as a side project whenever I'm stuck with my main novel Shard of Possibilities. If you enjoy it, please leave lots of comments, critiques, and suggestions — they help a ton and keep me motivated. Thanks for reading!

Exit is a myth. Survival is a story. In the year 3020, inside The Deathly Game, survival isn’t a choice—it’s the only rule. It begins without warning. No one escapes. No one remembers. Every generation, the Game awakens—ancient, hidden, and lethal. It chooses its players. The rest? Erased from existence. No one knows who created it. No one knows why. Only this: once you're chosen, you're thrown into a brutal world of shifting realities, cryptic trials, and a system that watches your every move. But this generation is different. Micquel never cared for legends—until the silence came. Cities collapsed. Families vanished. And a long-forgotten name whispered a truth no one dared speak. Now, she wakes inside the Game. No memories. No allies. Just one rule: survive. But staying alive means uncovering the truth behind the Game—and why it wants her. As players fall and secrets unravel, Micquel faces ruthless enemies, ancient codes, and the Game’s twisted origin. Because here, death isn’t the end. It’s just the next round. Five teams. One wasteland. One Game that rewrites reality. Dark. Twisted. Addictive. Welcome to The Deathly Game.

But when he dies, he awakens in a realm where time stands still... and Death wears a silver smile. As punishment, he's thrust into a twisted game — forced to reincarnate into the bodies of people moments before their death. Thieves, soldiers, beggars, kings — each life, a new role.

Armed only with previous lives' memories, Gin Chan must uncover the reason behind this torment. But the more lives he lives, the more he questions: Is he being punished… or prepared? And in the shadows, Death watches — waiting for the moment he finally understands what it means to live. --- Genres: Fantasy, Supernatural, Reincarnation, Psychologist

The city breathes through rain-slicked streets, neon reflections on shattered glass, and whispers in smoke-filled rooms. A lone figure walks the thin line between vengeance and oblivion, navigating a labyrinth of power, blood, and forgotten promises. From the dim glow of underground sanctuaries to the glittering façade of high society, every frame pulses with tension.

This is not just a tale of crime, it’s a visual poem of retribution, told without words, where every glance, every gesture, speaks volumes. The Don's Game is a journey through darkness, lit only by the fire of one man’s purpose.
