Seven years ago, the Frozen Flame brought magic to Earth—but not to Dalton, who gained only scars. Now a lonely shut-in, “Ezzen” has resigned himself to an online life of secondhand magic, dabbling in magical theory and fanboying over the Spire and its superhuman Vaetna, the paragons of this new era.

So when fate splinters and magic finds him, it’s the best day of his life—and the worst, as he suddenly becomes a resource in the cold war over control of magical power. From paramilitary organizations to Flame-worshipping cults to incandescent magical girls, the forces of the world sense the ripples and close in.

Worse, his escape exposes the awful secret of the Flame, the thing quietly omitted from all the theory: that instead of the apotheosis he’s dreamt of, the reality of being a flamebearer is cruel and twisted, the bloody path of monsters. And some of those monsters are so very similar to the Vaetna he idolizes.

It is inspired by Katalepsis, The Wandering Inn, and sadly Worm. It also has Bioshifter vibes, allegedly, but I haven't read it.

Cypher Blackwell thought working hard was the pathway to success. But everything crashed and burned when a workplace mishap triggered his slow, lonely demise. One that the company was happy to ignore.... more>>

He chose to go out in style, fueled by nothing but fierce, blazing hatred for the corporation he once served.
But where he thought his journey ended, another began, this time in a world where corporations dominate the land, the people, and the government. What you eat, drink, wear, and think is dictated by their ever-watchful grip.

He died loathing a corporation. But what happens when there are tens of thousands more… each one far worse?

With strange bi-weekly bursts of random tech knowledge popping into his head, how will he twist fate? And where do a Mjolnir Armor, Fart Neutralizer, Star Destroyer, Servo-Skull, Arc Reactor, Sonic Screwdriver, and Quantum Condom fit into all of that? <<less

The Room of Truth... more>>

Is forgetting a blessing… or the cruelest curse?

A man running from a past he refuses to face finds himself drawn to an abandoned house—
and from the moment he steps inside, reality fractures.

He wakes in a decaying hotel that should not exist—
sealed away from time, drowning in fog, built from memories he tried to bury.

A place where nothing follows the logic of the living.

Doors don’t open the same way twice.
Mirrors speak with the voice he fears most—his own.
Rooms shift, reshape, and demand answers he’s not ready to give.

Because within this hotel, every creature, every whisper, every nightmare…

…comes from him.

And at the center of this labyrinth of guilt lies the sin he never confessed—
the moment that shattered his life and created this prison of the mind.

You don’t escape this place.
You confront yourself… or you’re devoured by what you’ve become.

Ryzen Xarzos Gayagoy loved killing characters.... more>>

Not heroes. Not villains. The extras—the forgettable ones he tossed aside just to make his story darker, crueler, more “real.” For him, death was entertainment; he never cared about the lives buried between chapters.

Until he woke up inside his own novel.

Trapped in Syntellizyor's Way to Become Monarch: Kaiser's Era, he’s bound by one merciless system rule: save every extra he killed before he can even approach the protagonist, Kaiser Heinrich Syntellizyor.

Fail, and he dies.

What should’ve been easy quickly turns into a nightmare. The “disposable” characters he erased are anything but ordinary—unstable, violent, obsessive, and sometimes completely insane. To survive the deadly future he wrote, Ryzen has no choice but to rely on the very people he discarded without a second thought.

And somehow, surviving the story may be harder than writing it.

Against an unfair, relentless weight of challenges he isn't ready for, Riekko finds it harder to keep his hope and persistence alive in a dangerous Isekai world. Failure means letting down himself and the family he must get back to, and victory is not as simple as he would presume.... more>>

Armed only with the Scan spell and a rag-tag guild reformed from old acquaintances, Riekko must ask tougher questions with every wall broken. Why was he moved into this game-like world? Will he discover the way back to Earth?

The congregation of allies and his rapid rise to power, triggers a fate far more sinister than he dared to imagine, a fate many will share in his place. Ascension of knowledge seems to be the only way to survive, always one step behind. <<less

When did the Nightmares first appear?... more>>

No one truly knows.

Some say they came when humanity turned its back on the sacred, embracing Black Magic and ignoring the cost. Others believe they were always there, waiting for the world to break.

And break it did.

The world rotted from within. Space and time fractured. From those cracks, the Nightmares emerged—beings not meant to exist. No weapon nor spell could harm them. Wherever they walked, cities fell.

In desperation, humanity returned to faith.

Their prayers were answered.

The gods granted them a final hope: the Saints—chosen few who could wield Lumina, the only force capable of driving back the Nightmares.

And in that dying world…there was Seriane.

Hollowed by loss. Worn thin by survival. Yet still she stood.

Not fully human, nor truly a saint—something twisted between the two. A soul shaped by grief, shadowed by something far crueler.

And yet, it is she who stands at the edge of fate—

with the world resting on the notched blade in her hand.

Reason for delay: The story currently has too many problems due to my extended posting rythm. I've been re-writing some beats for the last few days but it seems like i need some more time. I just want to make sure the rest of the story is as strong as possible before posting. Thanks for bearing with me!

Additional delay note: I'm so sorry...the chapter isnt done...It's long again...I dont have a back log...but I'm SO sleepy...I'm soryyy...

{Final delay note}:
Me to the Deadline Reaper: "Please!" I begged and pleaded. "Just give me two more days! Just two! You can take my soul after that!"
The Reaper raised a single eyebrow (which he doesn't actually have, by the way), glanced at the pile of missed deadlines, then back at me.
He sighed, then gently nudged his scythe against the words "Final Delay Note," carving a pair of brackets around them. <<less

Have you ever felt invisible?... more>>

Not just ordinary invisibility.

Completely invisible.

Even though you are right there, nobody sees or hears you.

In fact, they don't even know you exist.

I know this feeling all too well.

Because for me, this is normal.

This story is quite simple:

The life of someone who is completely invisible.

...

.......

An absolutely normal life.

Absolutely.

Right?

"It's all because of you."

"Jealous scum."

"You killed"

'NO I DID NOTHING'
'NO NO NO NO'

"It's all a lie. All of it."

'NO'
