magic

A man who once lost his family in a tragic accident spent the rest of his life consumed by overwork, desperate to prove his worth to a world that never cared. His struggle ended in exhaustion and an early grave. But death was not the end. Given a second chance in a parallel world, he devoted decades to research, seeking the key to crossing into other realms. Yet even with knowledge, power, and fame, his life ended as before—isolated, unsatisfied, and weary of endless labor. Now, fate offers him one final path. In a world ruled by magic and gods, and armed with a power unlike any other, will he at last reach the dreams he’s chased across lifetimes? Or will his differences cast him out once again? ----- The first chap will be more about exposing the world of Bioshock and how Plasmids works and setting up the storyline for the future. I am not a writer, I do this for fun and you are reading this for free. The minimum you can do is to just leave a reasonable opinion, please don't hate mail me. This is the rewrite of what's essentially my first work. Once again, I do this for fun and love doing it.

"I just want to be me... Is that hard to ask?" Natsu woke up... and was just there. No memories, no family, nothing... just his name, and nothing more. Now living a quiet life on his own, secluded from the rest of everything, Natsu wants nothing more than peace. A simple home. A warm meal. A family he can protect. Yet fate refuses to grant him what he wants, what he simply wishes for. Behind his calm smile lies a being shaped by endless cycles of destruction and rebirth, a vessel carrying echoes of forgotten gods, ancient horrors, and truths that predate creation itself. Though stripped of much of his former power, the weight of existence still bends around him. Fate watches. The cosmos remembers. Gods whisper his name in reverence and fear. Entities watch him carefully and in silence. And the boundaries between worlds begin to tremble. As old powers stir and new threats emerge, Natsu finds himself caught between divine politics, cosmic forces, and the fragile humanity he desperately clings to. This is not a tale of conquest. It is a story of endurance. Of choosing kindness in a universe that demands cruelty. Of holding onto love when existence itself tries to tear it away. From quiet moments of family life to clashes that ripple across reality, the Saga of the Void weaves together cosmic horror, mythic fantasy, emotional intimacy, and slow-burning hope. Because even in a universe shaped by gods and monsters— Sometimes the greatest act of defiance is choosing to remain human. AUTHOR NOTES: I am currently writing a vast mythological epic + emotional mythopoetic saga and it contains graphic violence, unnerving themes like gore, torture, slavery, abuse, etc... This will be a very compelling roller coaster experience and I hope you guys find it a meaningful read and enjoy it as well. WHAT TO EXPECT: -One chapter a day after the release of Chapter 05. New releases will now be between 1:00am MNL Time. -Pacing of the story switches depending on the focus of the story. Expect the saga to have a slow burn most of the time, but it is a meaningful slow burn so let it cook. -MC will have a lot of wives as the story progresses so be informed (they play a major role in the saga they're not just simple love interests) -MC is OP from the very beginning but be informed that this is not a power fantasy. -There will be lots of drama and uncomfortable topics and scenes. -The saga is more about character growth and identity exploration not just for the MC but for every casted characters. -Certain gods and cosmic entities will have genders reversed to female or male but mostly female. -There will be smut scenes especially later on as the Saga progresses, but it is perfectly balanced.

Takumi Hoshino was a normal otaku — until a demon goddess named Lilith granted him the ultimate wish: the power to enter any anime world. There’s just one catch. The energy required to cross dimensions comes from “desire” — and the stronger the emotion tied to a world, the easier the gate opens.

For fifteen long years, Ethan Black played a single game alone. While everyone else quit, he stayed. While the servers grew silent, he kept building. While updates stopped coming, he perfected his monster-only guild. Then, after years of waiting, a legendary update finally appeared. Ethan installed it. He slept. And when he opened his eyes— He was no longer in his room. He stood inside his own Black Guild, surrounded by monsters that bowed to him as their master. At first, he thought it was just an update. A very realistic one. Until blood became real. Death became permanent. And invaders from another world began to appear. That world is a Cultivation World— a place ruled by Heaven, Qi, and strict cultivation realms. They believe monsters are extinct. They believe secret realms are treasures. They believe power comes only from cultivation. They are wrong. Because Ethan is not a cultivator. He is the Source of Magic. Magic does not exist naturally. It flows only from him. Every monster draws power from his existence. Every spell is an extension of his will. To Heaven, he is an error. To cultivators, he is a nightmare. To monsters, he is their origin. Ethan does not seek justice. He does not care for humanity. He protects his own—and annihilates everything else without mercy. As cultivation realms fall and Heaven begins to panic, one truth becomes clear: Heaven uses cultivation. Ethan uses magic. And magic answers to no one.

When a crazy psychologist who was a master at messing with people's heads gets killed by his enemies, he doesn't just die. He wakes up in a new world—a medieval one built on real history, where magic is everything and soldiers train by cultivating it inside themselves. Now he's Francisco, an 18-year-old guy in the Rose Country who's trying to get into the army. But inside he's still Ethan Carpenter, the same twisted genius from before. He uses his psychology tricks to climb higher and higher—playing people, winning fights, surviving wars, and slowly figuring out why he got reincarnated in the first place. Along the way, he plans to claim some beautiful maidens for himself. He'll have to learn magic, stay sharp, win battles, and keep his secrets buried if he wants to reach the top and stay alive. But will he actually pull it off? Read the story and find out.

The Blueprint of Souls Five centuries ago, the Sun Scholar Myn vanished, leaving behind a mountain of secrets and a demon bound in shadow. Now, he’s back—but he didn’t bring a staff. He brought a degree in structural engineering. Mok is a rising star in the world of modern architecture, a man of logic, steel, and digital code. But when he is assigned to a controversial redevelopment project on an ancient mountain, his blueprints begin to glow with a geometry that shouldn’t exist. He isn't just remembering a past life; he is inhabiting a vessel designed for a man who died 500 years ago. Waiting for him in the darkness is Kael, a powerful entity of raw shadow who has served as the mountain’s silent anchor for half a millennium. To the local villagers, Kael is a curse. To the city developers, he is an obstacle to be paved over. But to Mok, Kael is the missing "load-bearing" piece of his own soul. As the stagnant traditions of the past collide with the heartless innovation of the future, Mok must prove that magic and logic are not enemies. To save the mountain—and the demon who loves him—Mok won’t just have to fight; he’ll have to build. In a world where light provides the vision and shadow provides the power, Mok must design a new foundation before the structures of both eras come crashing down.

In a reality where the boundaries between Simulation and Sapient Souls blur, ten (10) Caribbean college freshmen are thrust into a world filled with echoes of quantum and ancient energies. They discover they are the descendants of the Primeval Architects – Primordial Cultivators who engineered the Celestial Seal, a simulated reality that harnesses the power of Sapient Souls to contain the Exiled Void Best, powerful entities that threatened to unravel the fabric of existence itself during the Perennial Millennial War.

Led by their brilliant and rebellious unlikely mentors, they'll uncover forgotten pacts, crack ancient covenants, and confront the dark secrets of their ancestors to restore balance to both realms. But as they delve deeper, they’ll begin realize that the Exiled aren't simply dumb beast or villains – they are the key to unlocking the next level of human evolution. Will they transcend eons of repeated, systematic programming, merge with the Exiled, and rewrite the code of reality itself?

Brought there to fulfill someone else's wish of his own free will, a young man can't help but wake up in the middle of the noisy, vibrant, and stinking Night City. A place where breaking a wrist can mean you've killed someone. A place where you can replace the weak flesh your parents give you with state-of-the-art implants, as long as you have enough Eurodollars. A place where even rats and pigeons are considered gourmet dishes, if you can manage to find one in your entire life. The essence of capitalism and artificiality is everywhere: the stale air in the streets, the suspicious-smelling water on the floor, the ultra-processed food from the vending machine in your own rented apartment in the megatower... "This place could use a little real life," the young man said, rolling up his sleeves, as he had a lot of work ahead of him. *I do not own Cyberpunk 2077 or any other universe or reference that will appear, except for the MC and the characters of my invention
