Dans un revirement soudain, Ben meurt et se réveille dans un monde étrange, renaissant sous les traits d'un garçon de cinq ans nommé Damian Sunblade. La joie de Damian d'appartenir à une famille noble est de courte durée. Sa famille, valorisant l'or plus que le sang, le vend à une autre maison noble pour être formé comme mari au foyer, simple pion dans leurs jeux politiques. Luttant contre sa nouvelle réalité et les vestiges des connaissances de sa vie antérieure, Damian refuse de succomber à son destin. Dans sa nouvelle demeure, Damian découvre que ce monde est gouverné par des cercles magiques, des symboles Runiques détenant un immense pouvoir.

Cependant, la famille qui l'a acheté a ses propres projets pour lui, voyant en Damian un outil précieux pour accroître leur pouvoir. Mais Damian, toujours d'esprit indépendant, a des rêves au-delà de la servitude. Il aspire à la liberté, un endroit qu'il peut appeler le sien—une vie où il peut utiliser ses talents sans contrainte. Et ainsi Damian conçoit un plan audacieux pour s'échapper. Son voyage est rempli de dangers et d'intrigues, alors qu'il navigue dans un monde peuplé de créatures mystiques, d'adversaires puissants et de secrets anciens.

Soyez témoin de sa transformation d'un enfant abandonné à un Alchimiste redoutable, déterminé à se tailler un avenir extraordinaire dans un monde regorgeant de possibilités infinies. ***** Note de l'auteur : Bonjour ! GlaringError ici ! Comme je l'ai déjà mentionné dans ma critique d'auteur, je le réaffirme ici car je reçois des tonnes de commentaires à ce sujet, je suis moi-même plus un lecteur qu'un écrivain, j'ai créé ce roman dans une tentative de capturer mon monde fantastique résidant dans mon esprit en mots.. L'écriture est nouvelle pour moi.. Le concept de mon roman est inspiré par de nombreuses grandes œuvres que j'ai aimées au fil des ans. Et certains éléments que j'ai dans mon roman qui leur sont légèrement similaires ne sont que le squelette, la vraie substance de l'intrigue est entièrement ma propre création. Certaines des influences les plus notables proviennent de The Runesmith (par Kuropon), The King's Avatar (par Butterfly Blue) et Shadow Slave (par Guiltythree). J'ai un immense respect pour ces légendes et je ne peux qu'espérer suivre leurs traces. À tous ceux qui commentent simplement en jugeant le nom, donnez-lui au moins une chance avant de faire connaître vos opinions. Merci.

Der Runische Alchemist

Ben, ein Doktorand der Chemie, stellt sich eine Zukunft vor, in der die Wissenschaft die Geheimnisse des Universums entschlüsselt. Doch das Schicksal hat andere Pläne. In einer plötzlichen Wendung stirbt Ben und erwacht in einer seltsamen neuen Welt, wiedergeboren als fünfjähriger Junge namens Damian Sonnenklinge. Damians Freude, Teil einer Adelsfamilie zu sein, ist nur von kurzer Dauer. Seine Familie, die Gold mehr schätzt als Blut, verkauft ihn an ein anderes Adelshaus, um ihn als Hausmann-Ehemann zu erziehen, ein bloßer Bauer in ihren politischen Spielen. Während er mit seiner neuen Realität und den Überresten des Wissens aus seinem früheren Leben kämpft, weigert sich Damian, seinem Schicksal zu erliegen. In seinem neuen Haushalt entdeckt Damian, dass diese Welt von magischen Kreisen regiert wird, Runischen Symbolen, die immense Macht besitzen. Getrieben von seiner wissenschaftlichen Neugier beginnt Damian zu experimentieren. Indem er die Gesetze der Physik auf die Runensymbole anwendet, entschlüsselt er ihre Geheimnisse und erfindet seine eigene einzigartige Form der Magie. Allerdings hat die Familie, die ihn gekauft hat, ihre eigenen Pläne für ihn und sieht Damian als wertvolles Werkzeug, um ihre Macht zu verstärken. Doch Damian, stets ein unabhängiger Geist, hat Träume jenseits der Knechtschaft. Er sehnt sich nach Freiheit, einem Ort, den er sein Eigen nennen kann – einem Leben, in dem er seine Talente ohne Einschränkungen nutzen kann. Und so ersinnt Damian einen gewagten Plan zur Flucht. Seine Reise ist voller Gefahren und Intrigen, während er eine Welt voller mystischer Kreaturen, mächtiger Gegner und uralter Geheimnisse durchquert. Auf seinem Weg schmiedet er Bündnisse und bekämpft Feinde, während er gleichzeitig seine magischen und wissenschaftlichen Fähigkeiten verfeinert. In "Der Runische Alchemist" folge Damian Sonnenklinges epischer Suche nach Unabhängigkeit und Selbstfindung. Erlebe seine Verwandlung von einem verstoßenen Kind zu einem beeindruckenden Alchemisten, entschlossen, sich in einer Welt voller unendlicher Möglichkeiten eine außergewöhnliche Zukunft zu schaffen. ***** Autor Hinweis: Hallo! GlaringError hier! Wie ich bereits in meiner Autorenbewertung erwähnt habe, wiederhole ich es hier, da ich tonnenweise Kommentare darüber erhalte, dass ich selbst mehr Leser als Schriftsteller bin. Ich habe diesen Roman in dem Versuch geschrieben, meine in meinem Kopf existierende Fantasiewelt in Worte zu fassen. Das Schreiben ist neu für mich. Die Prämisse meines Romans ist von vielen großartigen Werken inspiriert, die ich im Laufe der Jahre geliebt habe. Und einige Elemente in meinem Roman, die ihnen leicht ähneln, sind nur das Gerüst davon, das eigentliche Fleisch der Handlung ist ganz mein eigenes Werk. Einige der Einflüsse, die auffälliger sind, stammen von Der Runenschmied (von Kuropon), The King's Avatar (von Butterfly Blue) und Shadow Slave (von Guiltythree). Ich habe enormen Respekt vor diesen Legenden und kann nur hoffen, in ihre Fußstapfen zu treten. An alle, die nur aufgrund des Namens urteilen, gebt ihm wenigstens eine Chance, bevor ihr eure Meinungen kundtut. Danke.

Sparks and Shadows

She was supposed to inherit an empire, not survive a scandal. He was supposed to stay in the shadows, not fall for the girl he met in the dark... But some shadows burn brighter than sparks. -------- Heiress Isabella Montez has spent the past few years of her life looking perfect, playing obedient, and carrying the weight of a powerful name - Boss bitch mode she called it. Until a scandal explodes - leaking explicit content online - and the world turns cruel. The cameras want blood. Her father wants silence. And Isabella? She wants to breathe again. Enter Harry Danvers - cold-eyed, brutally efficient, and infamously private. Harry Danvers doesn't do mess. Not emotions. Not people. Not women like Isabella. But when fate drops her into his world again - raw, furious, and unraveling - he finds himself doing the one thing he swore never to do again: stay. He says he's here to protect her. She says she doesn't need saving. But some scars don't heal until they're seen. Slow-burn. Tension-heavy. Past scars. Dark truths. Haunted souls. Emotional intimacy. One scandal that changes everything and the quiet way people begin to hope again - even in the aftermath. If you love broken characters who don't know they're saving each other and the kind of longing that doesn't ask for permission - Sparks and Shadows is your next obsession.

The Protagonist’s Sister Is Actually The Strongest

Have you ever read a novel with such a terrible ending that you wished you could change the story and give the characters you loved the happy ending they deserved? ~~~ I was just another failure of an author, writing stories nobody read, and that never sold. Seeking to improve my writing, I read the most popular novel at that time, Solo Player, to learn what made it so popular. However, as I read this story, I couldn’t help but feel frustrated about the story’s development, which had a terrible ending. Eventually, and quite bitterly, once I ended reading the book, I found myself transmigrated into the very world of this novel. Did I become the Protagonist? A Villain? Or perhaps even an Extra? No, it was much worse than I imagined. Because I ended up becoming the most worthless character that nobody ever cared about in the novel. A character that is often considered the motivation for the protagonist to grow stronger, but also his greatest burden. Someone every reader hated! “I’m the protagonist’s sister…” However, with my knowledge of this novel's events, my worthlessness was about to change. I’ve decided to not only become the strongest but also change the story’s terrible ending! “I won’t let you go inside a Dungeon, it’s too dangerous.” ...As long as I can get this incredibly corny and overprotective brother out of my way! And for some reason, the Constellations won’t stop bothering me. Ding! [The Cosmic Throne {Butterfly That Flies Across The Universe} seems interested in your tenacity!] [She has sponsored 1000000 Plot Points and the [Demon of Calamity Transformation Technique (SS)] Skill!] [The Cosmic Throne {Monkey that Dances in Chaos} finds your chaotic nature amusing!] [He has thrown the [Umbral Chaos Stone Necklace (S Rank)] at you!] [Not enough? He launched the [Immortal Heaven Peach (SSS Rank)] right on your face!] There was something really wrong with the Constellations this time around. Ding! [The Cosmic Throne {Jester Filled With Lies} is happy that you’re bringing despair to your victims!] [He has gifted you the [Jester’s Last Laugh (S Rank Privilege)] and the [Master of Manipulation (SS)] Skill!] [The Cosmic Throne {Maiden that Watches Over Nature} seems happy you’re growing stronger.] [She has gracefully sponsored you with 2000000 Plot Points and Fully Heals All Your Wounds!] [She has also begun to wonder if you could plant some trees for her, gifting you the [Divine World Tree Seedling (SSS Rank)]!] [The Cosmic Throne {Warrior That Seeks Calamity} is satisfied with your battle performance but asks for more battle!] [He has sponsored you with 500000 Plot Points and [Beheading Sword of Destruction (SSS Rank)]!] They simply couldn’t stop gifting me things as if I were some sort of famous streamer for them. “I am grateful, but please just leave me alone already…” Chapters are long, 1500 ~ 2000+ words. During its serialization, this novel will be available for free forever, no premium. However, you can read advanced chapters here: https://www.patreon.com/pancakeswitch Copyright 2023 PancakesWitch.

GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.

Addicted to you

Yeri was once a succubus, a powerful and irresistible seductress who fed on desire. Now reborn as a stunning young woman in the modern world, she must navigate the confusing collision of her human innocence and her demonic memories. One night, fate leads her into the path of Shin Keir, a dangerously magnetic and notorious CEO known for getting everything he wants—except peace. Their accidental encounter sparks an intense, uncontrollable passion, and a single night together changes everything. *** Excerpt: The dream had returned. Same eerie forest. Same surreal woman in the crimson dress. But this time, the setting had changed slightly. She now stood at the edge of a cliff made of jagged, glowing red rocks that resembled oversized rubies. Scarlet butterflies floated around her like living embers. A thick fog blanketed the area like some forbidden realm between worlds. She turned to him, her smile soft, sweet—and somehow tragic. She was heartbreakingly beautiful, ethereal yet forlorn, like a love story written in fading ink. Shin had tried to call out, but the wind swallowed his voice. As he stepped forward, the woman mouthed something. He couldn't hear her. Then, in a horrifying instant, her body tilted, and she plummeted off the cliff. The despair that followed wasn't just a feeling—it was a full-body, soul-tearing scream that never made it past his throat. Without hesitation, Shin leapt after her. He awoke convulsing, drenched in cold sweat. His eyes gleamed with a strange madness, a devil struggling behind the polished CEO exterior. *** Disclaimer- Places and characters are all works of fiction.

The Beginning's End

Caelus Thorne was born into a good family. But at thirteen, he lost everything that was his parents. The cause? Unknown. The memories? Gone. Yet he didn't care about his past; rather, he focused on the present and the future. One day before his 16th birthday, he saw a garden from his dreams, where beauty is born from rot, and death blooms in the form of blood-red spider lilies. His parents, long dead under unknown circumstances, appeared in visions too grotesque to be mere memories-like, visions that tear through the veil of reality like butterfly wings made of shadow and flame. Caelus is dying, and he has known about it for as long as he can remember. Plagued by a mysterious illness that no doctor can explain, he survives each day on sheer willpower and the warmth of the one person who refuses to leave his side: his sole friend, Uriel Evernight, heiress to a family that would rather see him gone. Now, on the eve of his sixteenth birthday, he revisits the amusement park where his parents died, also the site of his 13th birthday. When Uriel proposed to him, a huge incident occurred, awakening his affinity. After that incident, he discovered the unknown world he inhabits through the academy he was sent to by the Awakeners Association. But who would have thought that the path he chose would turn him into a criminal? ... This novel doesn't have a system, no level-ups, and nothing else; everything must be accomplished through hard work or talent. There is a system-like feature only to track their abilities and ranks, which will exist in their cores. Next, there will be a lot of gore, and even in the first chapter, there is plenty of it. So, it is a warning for people who doesn't want any gore, the gore is huge in my novel. The main character will be a villain, as the tag suggests, and he will not become a villain directly; rather, through the progression of the novel, he will become one he may not be in the beginning. There is only a little romance, so I didn't put the tag, and the romance is for the sake of the plot. Chapter words: Max - unknown number of words Min - 1500 words

Hate To Love: The CEO'S Regret

“Elijah!” I sneered, slapping him right across the face; he seemed unaffected as he let out a smirk. “What do you think you're doing?!” I said. "Look at me closely, sweetie. I know how you feel about me. Every inch of you is my property; I own you, and if you'd think you're free from me, you're dead wrong" Elijah scoffed as he pinned me against the bathroom door. I yanked his grip off me before glaring at him, unaffected by his presence which once gave me butterflies. “Whatever you tried to do out there, don't test me. I can have you thrown back in jail if I wanted” He spat. “My life has got nothing to do with you!” I muttered. “Oh it's my business of course, so now you're sleeping with other men to get me jealous right?” he chuckled manacly. “You left me to die in jail, who I am with is none of your concern!” I yelled back. “I'm not afraid of you Elijah!” I responded nonchalantly. “Under which grounds? Last time I checked, you don't have the power to do that anymore.” Elijah's face turned red and he held my hand even tighter, gripping my cheeks until I could not move. “You don't scare me, Elijah” I said despite the quivering of my hands, “not anymore.” ***** Laura's world crashes down after she marries Elijah, her boss.

Hazrat

Have you ever missed someone you never met? Don't even know..? Have you ever grieved someone for a whole lifetime without ever knowing them. Yea, you feel your existence soo useless and nonsense, slipping away day by day into nothingness. You wanna stop but there's no end. You don't want to wake up the next morning but you forget everyday lying in bed, you don't sleep. Sleep is a luxury that doesn't happen to you anymore. Perhaps in this cold world you so desperately want a warm shadow that lines of reality and imaginations have blurred and you can't now separate one from another.. perhaps you started it all to console yourself and ended up walking in the trap of your own mind and her, the mansion. Hashim has lives his whole life in sadness he cannot explain. He has suffered from depression and anxiety all her life, not just because he lost his family but also because he can see ghosts of dead. Especially a ghost that has haunted him for his whole life. Since his birth to the day. He knows she has something to do with a haunted mansion called 'Hazrat'. She is the only ghost he has never seen fully. Just her feet, pale like that dead man's toe fungus. She’s always tried to lure him back to Hazratgarh, the city of his mother’s death, the city of the haunted mansion: Hazrat. But he never returned. Until one day when he recieved the news of his grandfather's death and the lawyer told him about an unexpected inheritance of a billion dollar wasted mansion. Yes, Hazrat. Curosity killed the cat and he has finally return to the place he spent his life running from. He thought maybe, if he has answer to his questions, if only he knows why him.. perhaps he'd be able to end his suffering. But life is a game of fate and he is realising, once back home, that there's so much to uncover, investigate, discover and regret. So many grudges to resolve. The mystery of his mother's death along with 40 others. The story of the mansion and the ghost. But with all lines blurred, how and what can be trusted as his hallucinations grow. Things begin to surface. A journal written in a dead dialect and the words feel like something he almost remembers. A name that keeps appearing—Anahita. A series of dreams that feel more like memories. And paintings. Paintings that he doesn’t remember making, of people he’s never met, in places he’s never been—but they exist. As past and present blur, Hashim begins to suspect that the truth behind the fire—and the city itself—might be older than history. And far more personal than he ever imagined. But are all those happenings and ghosts even real? They say memory is a fragile thing. But what if it isn’t his? What if the grief isn’t his? What if the tears, the guilt, the love—belong to someone long gone? Someone whose ghost sleeps beneath his skin. What if his hallucinations are someone else’s memories? As reality begins to fracture around him, Hashim must navigate a city with too many ghosts, a family history no one will admit, and a version of himself he no longer recognizes. It's said, the soul remembers what the mind has forgotten. And this mansion—it remembered everything. As if it wasn’t four hundred years ago. As if it was just... yesterday. When a delusional man inherits a mansion haunted by his own forgotten sins, the past claws back through mirrors, butterflies, and the ghost of a girl who never wanted to be remembered, Hashim finds himself drawn into a story that isn’t entirely his… or maybe always was. In Hazrat, nothing is as it seems. Not the ghosts. Not the city. And certainly not the man who calls himself Hashim. A novel of delusions, hauntings, and histories that refuse to stay buried. Hazrat is a psychological horror novel steeped in forgotten royalty, buried guilt, and the thin, crumbling line between memory and madness.
