Soul Mechas were forged to punish the Eldritch Monsters that attack this world from Beyond the Glass. But they can only be powered by those who bond with ancient mythical souls from that world. Unfortunately, souls are only attracted to negative emotions: helplessness, anguish, and loss. The deeper and more wronged, the better. However, regardless of the empire's pressure on the people to produce the best Soulbound Warriors and the heavy stigma from his father's curse, Soren remains a happy boy, a dreamer. Until he ends up with the worst soulbond in history after 'The Touching Glass Ceremony.' An F-rank soul. Trash even amongst trash. Even the commoners laughed when his rank was called. Beggars in rags celebrated and claimed to be above him. But was it really the worst soul bond ever? Because, when an Eldritch monster ravages their town and kills all that he loves, Soren finds himself repeating the same day again and again, bathing in unimaginable pain and death that forces him to grow, evolve, and confront questions that plague the empire, his father's mysterious curse, soul rituals, and the Eldritchs' true goals on earth. Each loop leaves him HUNGRIER, stronger...but less human. As the lines between man, soul, and machine blur, Soren must decide the very fate of the world...

In a world ruled by blood and loyalty, love may be the deadliest crime of all. Annika Rosewater became a lawyer at a young age to escape the violent shadow that haunted her childhood.

Leo Samison is her mother’s oldest friend… and the most feared man in the city’s Mafia underworld.

In an age when maps can conquer more than armies, Elena Valenti learns to draw the world in secret. Born in sixteenth-century Venice to the royal cartographer of the Portuguese crown, she grows up among compasses and parchment — tools that decide the fates of nations. But Elena’s gift is more dangerous than her father ever imagined: she alters the maps that feed empires, hiding villages, sacred sites, and entire peoples from the greedy eyes of kings. When her deception is exposed, Elena’s world collapses. Her father is executed for treason, imperial fleets are dispatched to hunt her down, and the cartographers she once idolized become her fiercest enemies. Armed with nothing but ink, stolen charts, and a secret atlas written in codes no conqueror can read, she flees across oceans — pursued by soldiers, spies, and rival mapmakers who would kill for the knowledge she carries. From the markets of Lisbon to the gold-dusted cities of West Africa, from the palaces of Mughal India to the misty peaks of the Andes, Elena’s journey becomes more than a flight for survival. It is a mission to rewrite the world itself. Along the way, she forges unlikely alliances — a priestess who encodes landscapes into song, a ronin who reads the sea like scripture, a rebel princess who believes maps are prisons. Each teaches her a truth the empires fear: that land does not belong to those who claim it, but to those who remember it. But as the hunt closes in and a single map — older than any empire — threatens to upend the order of the world, Elena must face an impossible choice. To protect what she loves, she may have to destroy everything she once believed about truth, power, and the very shape of the Earth. Sweeping from Renaissance Europe to the uncharted edges of the known world, The Cartographer’s Heresy is a story of courage and betrayal, ink and blood, and a young woman who turns cartography into rebellion. It is about how maps do more than chart the world — they define it — and how one woman dares to redraw its lines.

Man must claw at God. Humanity has always been frugal and greedy in its efforts, reaching for what it does not deserve while pretending its hands are clean. It is filled with wretched beings like Nicholas, creatures who live, breathe, and cry out for mercy even as they willingly submit themselves to the very fate that devours them. Nicholas would despise himself more than anyone else, and even then, he would still dare to fight for his life. Such audacity, coming from someone so painfully small, is utterly unacceptable. And yet, despite how pitiful his struggles appear and how worthless that foolish man may be, his frantic grasping might still amount to something in the end. Nicholas, even something like him could crave sanctity. However dreams were not reality, what might a lamb do, if they wish to dream? More Tags: Cosmic Horror, Philosophical, Psychological.

Torn between the twisted kindness of a group of mercenary misfits and the looming shadow of the corporation that made him, Pondaru must navigate a world of lust, violence, and identity crisis—where every choice brings him closer to either reclaiming who he is, or becoming the product he was designed to be. In a city that devours the weak and worships desire, one thought haunts him above all: If I bleed… then I must still be real…Right?

In a world where divinity is not inherited—but understood—children are drafted into realms that reshape their souls. Xīng Hé awakens naturally, without guidance, without protection, and without knowing what her power truly is. Chen Yè, a street orphan with no visible concept, survives by intellect alone in a system that measures worth through divinity. Yao Xian, an attendant bound by centuries of pain, watches another generation walk the path she once failed to escape. As realms fracture and concepts clash, evolution comes with a cost—one paid in blood, memory, and identity. Power is not gained freely. It is extracted, refined, and sometimes stolen.

Greyroot Village was quiet the day his world shattered. Kai’s mother, the only person who ever believed in him, was killed by a demon in the forest. Helpless, powerless, and desperate, Kai’s cries reached the villagers—but their comfort could not fill the void left by her death. Anger and grief burned in him like fire. He swore revenge against the demon, but he had no talent. No power. Only a fragile, trembling body and a mind full of despair. Fate led him to a hidden cave, where he found a sword unlike any other. Aequitas Noctis—the Sword of Light and Dark. It spoke to him. It offered power. But it demanded a cost: in order to slay evil, innocence must die, and the more he lies to himself, the weaker it becomes. Kai’s journey begins with a single, impossible choice: cling to his humanity or embrace the sword’s cold logic to survive. As he hunts demons, saves lives, and fights the evils that threaten the world, every victory comes at a deeper cost to his mind, his soul, and his identity. With each innocent life he must take, each friend he loses, and each truth he denies, Kai changes—slowly, imperceptibly, until he may no longer recognize the boy who once cried in the forest. In a world where evil is measured in substance, and power comes only to those willing to pay the price, one boy must walk the line between hero and monster… until there is nothing left of the one he used to be.

When a devoted fan of A Song of Ice and Fire opened his eyes, he found himself standing in Westeros. Not as a king. Not as a lord. He became Suleiman, a nameless minor knight under the impoverished Daddings family, living by the muddy lower reaches of the Green Fork in the Riverlands. No gold. No soldiers. No influence. The family ruled over barely fifty peasants and held a status so low they were nothing more than silent figures in the corners of noble banquets. Before him stood the crushing weight of eight thousand years of aristocratic hierarchy. Yet in a land torn by war and shifting tides, this outsider from another world began his climb. From the mockery of “Sir Stinky Castle” on the edge of a swamp… to the throne of the Trident itself. In Westeros, even the smallest pawn can become a king.
