In a world scarred by the 'Great Sundering' and plagued by the insidious Void Blight, Kael lives a brutal existence, fiercely protecting his small settlement, Haven. When the ruthless warlord Ragnar attacks, abducting Kael's sister, Elara, Kael is pushed to the brink. In a desperate, agonizing transformation, he awakens the 'Apex Protocol,' a primal system that unleashes monstrous power, turning him into a terrifying force of nature. Haunted by Elara's scream and battling the Protocol's feral whispers, Kael embarks on a relentless quest through the desolate Dustlands. He navigates treacherous landscapes, confronts mutated horrors, and clashes with Ragnar's relentless raiders, all while struggling to retain his humanity. Along the way, he forms a tense alliance with the Ash Runners, a band of rebels fighting Ragnar's tyranny. Their journey leads them to the Iron Citadel, Ragnar's formidable stronghold, where Kael discovers Ragnar's horrifying connection to the Void Blight – a sentient, malevolent entity. As Kael confronts Ragnar in a cataclysmic battle, he uncovers the Apex Protocol's true purpose: an ancient countermeasure against the Blight. Faced with the ultimate choice, Kael must fully embrace the monstrous power within to sever the Blight's core, risking his very soul to save his sister and the dying world. The novel culminates in a brutal victory, leaving Kael as the 'Silent Guardian,' forever walking the line between man and beast, a beacon of hope in a world slowly healing.

No one remembers when the Z-Tower first appeared—only that it erupted into existence in a storm of fire and lightning, piercing the sky like a challenge to the gods. Its purpose remains unknown.

These challengers known as Z-Streamers, risk their lives in front of a global audience, battling monsters, traps, and each other for views, fame, and unimaginable fortune. But of the hundreds of thousands who enter, only a few thousand ever make it back. Min-ho never wanted fame. He only wanted to save his dying sister. With no other options, he enters the Tower—and fate hands him a miracle: a glitched System. One that lets him steal the Sponsored Gifts of other Z-Streamers. With this broken power, he begins his ascent—fighting, scheming, and stealing his way to the top, determined to rewrite his future. But power always comes at a price. And the Tower doesn't forgive those who cheat its game. *** I'll be uploading extra chapters depending on the weekly powerstone count. 100 PS = 1 Extra Chapter On Monday. 200 PS = 2 Extra Chapters On Monday. 300 PS = 3 Extra Chapters On Monday. 500 PS = 4 Extra Chapters. *** Disclaimer: As an author and story lover, I value relationships and character dynamics above all else.

In a world where memory is currency and myth can be weaponized, Matherson—a boy who once escaped death while his family was erased before his eyes—returns from the digital shadows to expose the truth. The system that failed him is called Edenfall, a regime that rewrites history, deletes resistance, and controls the living Archive that stores every soul’s truth. But Matherson is no longer alone. A rogue AI named Ghostbyte, a spy torn by loyalty named Nova, and a generation of myth-touched orphans—known only as the Children of Ember—are awakening to voices from the past.

I knew I shouldn’t carry things downstairs, but I was trying to clean quickly because we had company coming later that day. I was rushing while wearing my fuzzy socks and slipped on the carpeted stairs. I had fallen before, but not from this high up. I was dreading the bumpy landing with our TV and speakers at the bottom to break my fall, not to mention the glass coffee table. I was expecting to be heavily injured and just prayed I didn’t die. I closed my eyes and braced myself for the fall, but was surprised to land on dew covered grass instead. I opened my eyes and took in the plush forest around me. ‘I knew that fall would kill me one of these days!’ I thought to myself. I remember arguing with David, my husband about playing the speakers and TV at the base of the stairs for that exact reason, but our small living room didn’t have much space to put it after the giant L shaped couch took up half of the living room. Shocked, I was thinking, ‘ So this is not what I expected Heaven to look like!, Where are the clouds and pearly gates? Where are the angels? Maybe I just hit my head and am unconscious and this is all a dream?’ Looking around at the tallest trees I had ever seen, I decided this had to be a dream. I was brought back to focus when I heard wolves nearby! I got up and started to run away looking for a tree I might climb up. I was always good in gymnastics despite being overweight. My husband and I had recently started going on morning walks and exercising, but I hated running. Nothing is more motivating than a pack of hungry wolves chasing you. “This is not the way I wanted to die!” I yelled to no one in particular. I found a tree with a low enough branch for me to parkour my way up. The wolves circled the tree and were jumping almost high enough to get me. I tried to climb higher, but heard the branch start to creak. “Ahh, someone help me!!!” I screamed at the top of my lungs when one of the wolves almost got my foot. * This is a fan fiction based off of 'Beauty and the Beasts' by White-Headed Dream.
