“The lack of heroic characteristics make life so simple.”... more>>

Twenty years-old Rizen Colfax thinks so.

“To be honest, I don't want to be friends with anyone who needs to possess supernatural abilities to feel special within himself,” he liked to say.

Now not everyone at this point in time when heroism is the career path would agree, but the person concerned couldn't care less.

Rizen occupies himself with the family business: the noble occupation of running a farm.

Extra money also trickled from the upper rooms of his seaside shack that he would rent to mountaineers and vacationers that came occasionally for the surrounding landscape.

And so life for a couple years now have revolved around family business and family.

And the only family he had was Pram, a little sister of twelve years.

Contrary to the older brother, the latter possessed heroic factor but young and untutored as she was, Pram was yet to master her ability.

“Dream simple,” was Rizen's motto for life.

Unbeknownst to him, things were about to take a turn from the common.

A century had passed after a catastrophe. The younger generations of Hirana may have forgotten the Great Summoner who caused the plague that took many lives in their land. They may not know the sacrifices of those who did not survive and the sufferings of those who did. But the fact that the people could not eradicate the remnants of the plague, and some even thrived-it was believed that the catastrophe could happen again. That the summoner would rise again.... more>>

Since the event, summoners were shunned and even threatened. Even the Council of Magic of Hirana was on the lookout for such individuals and was actively executing potential candidates. It came to the point where summoners became extinct—very low possibility of the dreadful plague to happen again.

Unbeknownst to them all, the Fuentes sisters (far from any logical explanation they could think) had traveled to the land of Hirana. Not just once, but most of their sleeping hours.

While they had to deal with a lifestyle that was far from what they used to, they also had to deal with newfound abilities that were never possible in their world.

As if surviving wasn't hard enough, it would be sooner than later that the Council of Magic would discover that the sisters have what they've always dreaded—the ability to summon.

as an anomaly sweeps the world, many gain strange abilities. as for Mal, the power makes it so they cannot die, or more accurately, they get sent back in time to the last place they were safe at. A power that seems like a blessing until you’re crushed under rubble, drowned in sewage, shot, stabbed, all while having the royalties to feel all the pain from such fates. And to put the icing on the cake, a strange message appeared before everyone’s eyes stating that unless someone breaks down the gate within 17 years, everyone will die”.
now Mal needs to find a way to “break down the gate” (whatever the hell that means) or they will be forced to die and revive, only to die again for the rest of time. Which would suck, probably.

this is technically a time loop novel.
the MC is chaotic neutral with a worryingly lack of care about how their actions affect people.
i want to interact with my readers so give critique and suggestions. I will sometimes host polls for the personality for new characters, story decisions, and the ability to cancel annoying characters, besides Mal, if they get enough complaints. I am also impatient and will end decision polls when I want to write more. If no one votes, I choose, so don’t let that happen.

The blizzard rises day after day in the Frostbanks, forcing numbing snow and deadly winds onto the land and its people. In defiance to nature itself, the city of Oglios stands amidst the storm and even thrives thanks to the Suntower's protection, an artifact of old now relegated to simple fixture, its secrets fiercely guarded by the Scorched Circle, whose members regulate the flow of Returned, husks of the departed, in and out of the city.

Part of the larger nation of Gonphar, Oglios has obligations to respect if it wants to keep its relative independence, and the city's elite busies itself to fulfill their orders, supplying Gonphar as a whole with cheap labor in the ways of countless Returned. Meanwhile, the specter of war rears its dreadful head from across the mountains as border tensions with the Ehodan Kingdoms increase. Yet most ignore the threat, having more pressing concerns right within Oglios where warmth is limited, and free space is at a premium.

Three individuals converge during these trying times, lost in their personal struggles.

The Echo, an outsider in several degrees, returns to a family still mourning their mother's passing to uncover her wrongdoings. He would fulfill a promise, and perhaps find himself in the process, all the while having to conceal who and what he is.
The Dutiful reaches into criminal matters by authority of the Office of Inquiries. Held by guilt over her choices, she struggles to make it day-by-day, turning to Nostalgia for release. A thirst for vengeance fuels her will and keeps her going towards the ultimate goal.
The Collector, a mortician by trade, dwells in opposite circles. Pulled by decades old ties to the Circle, he stays loyal to the city in his own way by moving through the underworld in order to uproot corruption.

This is a work in progress, obviously. I want this to be a fully fleshed out novel eventually. It has a lot of moving pieces and things I'm still figuring out which is mostly still in my mind but I still wanted to put it out there, and hopefully get some feedback! Some chapters will very likely end up getting scrapped from the final product as I dig further into the story, and I will also go back and revisit older chapters to fix grammar, continuity errors, etc.

uVR Earth, an advanced piece of tech that fused man and machine. It granted humanity the power of a supercomputer in the skull space of their brains, the dawn of a new age in humanity. But the technology leaped before social laws could catch up.

With machines integrated into your brains, your thoughts became data that could be stolen. You might have just thought of eating an ice cream. A second later, your Augmented Reality interface would advertise the closest ice cream shop.

Privacy? Is that edible? Can I eat it? uVR Earths took data from your brain. Meaning, your eyes became the camera. Anything you see today might be found on the internet later the same day.

People already have an addiction to smartphones. But now, all the features of a smartphone are integrated into their brains. What is the outcome of that you ask? You know it already.

Such a revolutionary tech; does it make sense to use it for a VRMMORPG? A mere VR game, seriously? Why do that when corporates can make you work through Virtual Reality? The moment your boss calls, you’ll log in to Virtual Reality and appear before the office space constructed in the VR world. You’ll happily slave away, freely!

You can work more and fatten the corporates further. Very fun, right? Exactly! It’s a futuristic world that you, me, and everyone will die to experience at least once. Sadly, our MC thinks it’s a dystopia and resists the corporate whales with his shrimp-like power. Unfortunately, this is his story.

What to expect:

A scientific take on corporate abuse when VR tech is made a reality. A decent slow burn with an OP MC that tries to educate society on problems with the VR tech, often failing. A unique power system that realistically makes sense when you think about it. It’s all set in the real world.

Ps: This may or may not be our future. If it becomes a reality, don’t sue me. I’m not giving them ideas. <<less
