ROOT: Awakening

For decades, humanity has lived in a world that isn't quite what it seems. Since the Great Awakening of 1952, magic, monsters, and people capable of supernatural feats have existed beneath the surface of ordinary society. And while most people remain blissfully unaware of the hidden world around them, eighteen-year-old Cyrus Moore is about to have that ignorance ripped away, whether he wants it to or not. After a devastating accident leaves him on the brink of death, Cyrus awakens to something impossible: a power he never knew that existed within him. Suddenly thrust into a world of sorcerers, supernatural creatures, secret organizations, and dangerous mysteries, Cyrus discovers that surviving is far more complicated than simply learning how to control his newfound abilities. Every answer seems to uncover another secret, and every step forward draws him deeper into a conflict that has been unfolding long before he was ever made aware of it. With enemies lurking in the shadows and allies whose true intentions aren't always clear, Cyrus must learn who he can trust while struggling to understand what is happening around him. But the deeper Cyrus ventures into this hidden world, the more he realizes that his awakening may not be all that it seems. Something is changing. Reality is beginning to crack at the edges. Old mysteries are beginning to surface. Dangerous forces are moving in the shadows. And the boundary between humanity and the supernatural is becoming increasingly fragile. Cyrus wanted an escape from an ordinary life. Instead, he awakened to a world where magic is real, monsters are hunting, and the greatest danger may be the truth waiting to be uncovered. The awakening has begun, and reality will never be the same….

From 2D To You: The Girl Behind The Screen

Three years ago, Ruko stood at the pinnacle of esports. As the strategist of the legendary professional team **NERVA**, he led his teammates to countless victories alongside the team's enigmatic roamer, **Mitsuru**. Their flawless coordination made them the most feared duo in competitive gaming, earning the admiration of fans across the world. Somewhere between late-night practice sessions and championship victories... Ruko fell in love with the person behind the screen. But after winning the biggest tournament of their careers, his long-awaited confession was met with a single sentence that shattered everything. > "I'm a boy." Believing he had been deceived, Ruko walked away from esports, abandoned his professional career, and convinced himself that trusting someone online was nothing more than a mistake. Now a high school student determined to live an ordinary life, he has no intention of touching competitive gaming again. Until one unexpected discovery changes everything. A farewell post from the retired team **NERVA** contains a hidden clue connected to his own school. The impossible suddenly becomes possible. Mitsuru was never gone. And the girl he had been searching for all these years may have been closer than he ever imagined. Forced to return to the game he left behind in order to save his school's struggling Gaming Club, Ruko finds himself surrounded by four very different girls, each hiding secrets of her own. **Kazuha Shirogane** — his sharp-tongued childhood friend and the seemingly perfect Student Council President. **Risa Yukimura** — a silver-haired genius whose frightening analytical mind can dissect a match within seconds. **Hikari Amamiya** — a popular school idol whose knowledge of Ruko's past raises more questions than answers. **Kana Fujisaki** — an energetic food vlogger whose unpredictable instincts often defy logic. As the club climbs from complete beginners toward the national stage, friendships deepen, rivals appear, and the line between the virtual world and reality begins to blur. Because the greatest mystery isn't who Mitsuru is. It's why she hid the truth. In a story about hidden identities, broken promises, second chances, and the courage to step beyond the screen, Ruko must uncover the truth behind the legendary player who changed his life... ...and finally meet the girl behind the screen.

BLVCK WOLVES

**BLVCK WOLVES book 3, Arc IV "RIOT GANG" is now live** He is a Sin in a world of magic, and his crew is broken as f*ck. Greed is the acting captain of a bottom-tier Guild called the Black Wolf Knights—or rather, the Black Wolves, and he has no magic. In fact, he rejects it. Literally. With a peculiar name, a mysterious power, and a group of unbridled mavericks with insane abilities, Greed and the Black Wolves are constantly caught in the middle of something scheming in the shadows. Whether it be in their own Kingdom, or beyond it. All the Black Wolves ever want is to live a life of meaninglessness and debauchery. But as the world conflicts, corruptness rises, and war among the nations brew, they always seem to be the last line of defense… Ironically. On top of all this, he is haunted by a past he cannot remember. His only clue, is a girl in the sky… "Find me…" she says. And when he does, his—and everyone else’s—world spirals into chaos. Expect: - Black Clover inspired with JJK abilities, Final Fantasy world, and Vox Machina vibes - NOT isekai, transmigration, evolution, system, or cultivation. Go look for that elsewhere - OP MC from the start with no magic [NOT ANTI-MAGIC], progressively gets even more OP - Harem relationships in the beginning, moderate fanservice, mild sex scenes (hate me), and strong romance subplot by the end of Arc 1 with only one girl - Classic slow-paced story with character development, backstories, perspectives from multiple characters, stats and ability descriptions, intricate plot, worldbuilding, and of course tons of fighting - A long, ongoing story Written and conjured by J.N. Marlow. All rights reserved. © 2025 J.N. Marlow.
