House Of Puppets

MisterElegance
[House of Puppets is on an indefinite hiatus because of another project, The Anointed Madman. I don’t recommend reading it while it’s on hiatus.] Arthur Moreau disappeared during a live broadcast. No warning. No transition. No last words. One moment he was finishing a world event in front of fifty thousand viewers. The next, he was gone — and what arrived somewhere else was Gepetto: his character, his creation, the identity he had spent years building inside a game that no longer contained him. The world that received him has existed through dozens of eras. Civilizations rose and collapsed long before humanity had a word for either. What walks its roads now — human and elf and dragon and beast-kind and peoples whose names don't translate — are the living residue of everything that already happened here. The gods who shaped the early eras did not all survive them. The world doesn't advertise how much of it is arrangement of ruins. Elysion is a Republic in the way that a cracked foundation is still a building. Beneath the gas lamps and the elevated rails, the actual structure is simpler: those with enough weight act as though permission doesn't apply to them. The working class breathes chemical residue and calls it employment. There is no king. There are only consequences. The Church of the Solar God holds it together, which is not a metaphor. The Solar God is not a symbol. He walks. He acts. He has reasons of his own. Nine others arrived the way Gepetto arrived — carrying what they built inside the game, now operating in a world where what they touch does not reset. They are not heroes. They are ten people who understood a system well enough to reach its limits, placed inside a reality where the limits are elsewhere and the other Players have their own intentions. Gepetto does not try to fight it. He studies it. While others assert themselves through force or faith or the assumption that visibility equals strength, he builds something quieter. A structure: distributed, patient, invisible until it is not. The story that begins with one man in one city does not stay there. The skills are real now. The strings are real. And what they touch does not reset. Because the puppeteer pulls the strings. But in a world this old, someone is always watching. AUTHOR'S NOTE: House of Puppets is not a power fantasy. It's slow by design — the kind that accumulates, not the kind that stalls. The story starts small and expands aggressively. The pacing shifts across volumes. It will surprise you in directions you didn't see coming. Tonal influences: Lord of Mysteries, Reverend Insanity, the Soulsborne tradition, Dostoevsky. Not references — register. I'm a reader who started this by studying what great work does and trying to do that. The story is strange and volatile partly because of that, and I think that's also why some of it works. The ambition is real. The reading will tell you if it got there.

Chaos Devourer System: My Classless Ascension

Join the Tr33House for character illustration.. https://discord.gg/7a9qWRSdP ——————————- No class. No limits. Just devour. In a world where talent determines destiny, Dante Draven was supposed to be nothing special. Then his system awakened. While others fought to climb the established paths of power, Dante received an ability that should never have existed: Devour. Skills. Powers. Laws. Even things that should be beyond the reach of any living being. If he can claim it, he can make it his own. But the deeper Dante ventures into a universe ruled by ancient powers and beings who stand above the laws of reality, the more he realizes that his ability is only the beginning. There are forces that even the strongest dare not challenge, truths buried beneath the foundations of existence, and powers that were never meant to fall into mortal hands. Unfortunately for the universe, Dante has never been particularly good at knowing his limits. With a system that defies the rules, companions who are anything but ordinary, and an appetite for power that only grows with every discovery, Dante will carve his own path through a cosmos that has no idea what it has allowed to awaken. After all, why settle for being the strongest when you can devour the very meaning of strength? --- **************************** For every 100 golden ticket- +1 bonus chapter(stackable)

The World Is Mine For The Taking

Please note that this work of fiction is not safe for work (NSFW). It contains words, scenes, and phrases not suitable for audiences below 18. Be aware. Leon was your typical guy, perceived as weak in his school because his skills hadn't awakened, even though they usually did at the coming of age. He attended the prestigious Milham's Magic Knight Academy, where snagging the top spot meant automatic entry into the esteemed position of a Magic Knight in the country. Unfortunately, Leon found himself in the lower caste, labeled the most useless student. To top it off, he was tossed into a class that served as a sanctuary for oddballs and delinquents. Yet, he couldn't care less, as becoming a Magic Knight wasn't his goal. Everything shifted when he crossed paths with Shredica, a woman hell-bent on becoming a Magic Knight at any cost. Observing Leon's lack of ambition and his apparent detachment from the academy's pursuits, Shredica saw an opportunity. She decided to exploit him as a pawn in her ascent through the academy's hierarchy. Yet, unbeknownst to Shredica, Leon was not the complacent, unremarkable figure she presumed him to be. *** Weekly Release Schedule Base Rate: 2-3 chapters a day (14-21 chapters a week) Power Stone and Golden Ticket Milestone If we reach these goals by the end of the week, the total chapter count for the following week will increase: 200+ PS/50+ GT: 25 chapters/week 250+ PS/100+ GT: 27 chapters/week 300+ PS/150+ GT: 30 chapters/week Gift Bonuses: Feeling generous?

Honkai Star Rail: Godly Script System

First off, this novel was written before version 3.4, so there might be some changes to the original story. If you’re not into wish-fulfillment stories with a big harem and an overpowered MC right from the start, this probably isn’t for you. === Lucian, whether by fortune or misfortune, transmigrated into the world of Honkai Star Rail and became an Emanator of Abundance. As he struggled to find a way to avoid the fate of being hunted as an Emanator of Abundance, he suddenly obtained the Godly Script System—a mysterious System that granted him a unique conceptual ability each time he completed a character script. With the Godly Script System, he not only saved the characters of the scripts from their doomed destinies and forged unbreakable bonds with them, but his actions in the scripts also affected reality itself. From the moment he became the Supreme Guardian of Belobog and started with the script of Tribios, his legendary life in the new world began.

Myriad Heavens: Rise of the Rune God

Myriad Heavens: Rise of the Rune God - Synopsis Note: This Novel is complete. "I dodged Truck-kun with a parkour backflip. That should've been the end of it." After evading certain death with sick moves, genius programmer Runar thought he was safe—until the truck transformed into a freaking autobot and apologized for having to kill him anyway. "I just graduated from Truck Reincarnation Academy! I can't fail my first mission! My classmate will mock me." Now reborn on Telstra, a world where cultivation meets sci-fi, Runar discovers the ultimate cheat code: runes are the programming language of reality itself. While everyone else grinds through cultivation realms, he's copying physique runes, optimizing techniques, and debugging the universe. But in a cosmos where aliens hunt humans, ancient supremes have left for realms beyond, and power is everything—staying low-key might be harder than he thought. One day, he'll find that desperate truck and give it the beating it deserves. There is a second novel after the ending of the first one. After Chapter 346. Begins a new Chapter 1. I CAN COPY TALENTS FROM MYSELF ACROSS THE MULTIVERSE - SYNOPSIS Ash awakened His Boundless Origin Martial Soul. It allowed him to break free from the space-time of his universe and resonate with infinite versions of himself across the multiverse. From those parallel selves, he could permanently copy any talent, skill, knowledge, or ability they possessed. No talent? Copy a supreme one. No skill? Copy it. Failing exams? Copy the knowledge of a scholarly genius. Stuck in cultivation? Copy the comprehension of a parallel self who already solved it. There are Various versions of himself out there. One was a peerless martial god who dominated the galaxy. One was a cold scientific monster who rewrote the laws of the world. One was a Taoist immortal who walked alone above the heavens. One was a carpenter who reached the peak through pure craft. One was a general who never lost a war. And this is just the tip of the iceberg of his Martial Soul abilty. In a world that measures everything by talent rank, Ash Apeiron starts at the very bottom. But with infinite versions of himself to draw from, the gap between him and everyone else is about to become irreversible. Martial Path (energy stored in the cells) 1. Body Refining Realm (Rank 1–9) 2. Martial Apprentice Realm 3. Martial Master Realm 4. Martial Grandmaster Realm 5. Martial King Realm 6. Martial Emperor Realm 7. Martial Sovereign Realm 8. Martial Saint Realm 9. Martial God Realm Beyond Martial God 10. Martial Void Realm 11. Martial Star Realm 12. Martial Cosmic Realm 13. Martial Multiverse God Realm Immortal Path (energy stored in the dantian) Same structure, simply replace "Martial" with "Immortal" (Immortal Apprentice → Immortal Multiverse God Realm). More Cultivation paths will be added in the future, like Mage path, Curse Path, Soul Path, Puppet Path. Also, I mainly write comprehension novels. I believe knowledge is power. So, most of my main characters in my novels are always book smart. Consider supporting me on https://ko-fi.com/sorion Or donating on Paypal to [email protected]. Don't send me weird emails

The Nameless Extra: I Proofread This World

#WSA2026 PS: We’re getting close to 1,000 members on Discord! ========= Yuzuki thought it was just another pastime from his casework, proofreading a half-finished fantasy webnovel. But when he woke up the next day, he was no longer in his world. He was inside the story… as a disposable extra. The world he now walks is beautiful, brutal, and broken. Its plot is incomplete. And looming over it all is a calamity so catastrophic that even the protagonist would have failed to stop it. Driven only by his cunning and spite towards this twisted fate, his only choice is to stake his existence in a world on the verge of collapse. But how long can a nameless extra outwit the fate of an unfinished novel? How is he going to survive in this ruined world? If the story dies, so does he. "Well, curse the protagonist. Why would I gamble my life on some self-righteous fool who’s just doomed to fall anyway?" #Academy #WeakToStrongMC No Harem! This Is Not A Translation! ========== Join my discord for more news and character illustration :) https://discord.gg/RfPspy6aXd =============

TRANSPARENT

She woke up in the dark. Sayoko awakens in the abandoned wing of her school with no memory of how she got there. Confused and afraid, she returns home searching for answers. But her family cannot see her. They cannot hear her. As they continue their lives without noticing her standing beside them, Sayoko is forced to accept the impossible truth: she is dead. Unable to remember what happened to her, Sayoko begins searching across the prefecture for the truth behind her death. Each clue leads her deeper into a world hidden from the living a world of restless spirits, buried secrets, and people who know more than they should. Her only link to the world she lost is a boy who can see ghosts. At his side is a male spirit with no memory of his own past, bound to the same uncertain path. Then there is a quiet, unsettling girl whose knowledge of the dead may be far more dangerous than it first appears. As a young officer and an exorcist pursue mysteries that refuse to stay buried, Sayoko’s search brings her closer to the answer she fears most. What happened to her? And who was responsible for taking her life?
