Eric doesn't need stronger spells. He needs better designs. After being targeted and nearly taken apart by people who saw him as property, Eric Elwyn stops thinking like a mage and starts thinking like an engineer again. Artificing becomes his answer: layered defenses, adaptive runes, and mobility systems that turn the battlefield into something he can navigate instead of endure. Each breakthrough makes him harder to catch. Each success makes him harder to ignore. With allies at his side and enemies hiding behind authority and civility, Eric races to build faster than the world can close its grip. Because the next time someone comes for him, they won't be taking him quietly.

"Fifty went down. The ocean took forty. Now, the surviving ten must pay their corporate debts in blood. In the year 2142, your life belongs to the Core Corporation if you cannot pay your bills. Erza, the son of a legendary planetary general, carries a burden heavier than his family name-a crushing multi-million-credit debt. To wipe his slate clean, he and forty-nine other desperate cadets volunteer for a high-risk colonization mission to Planet Aqueon. The deal is simple: endure the expedition, and you buy back your freedom. But they never get the chance to land safely. During atmospheric entry, a catastrophic system failure triggers a chain reaction of explosions. The brutalist hull of the SCV Vanguard tears apart, venting fire and oxygen into the sky. The ship plummets like a screaming meteor before slamming into a vast, endless alien ocean. Forty cadets die on impact, crushed by the brutal deceleration. Erza awakens trapped inside a buoyant survival pod, surrounded by rising black water and burning wreckage. Outside his window, a mesmerizing, bioluminescent Aqueon Flutter-Ray floats through the smoky air. Armed with nothing but a Scountee Multi-Tool scanner, Erza must face the terrifying reality of his new home: there is no land, there are no islands, and there is no rescue coming. Worse, his emergency radio is picking up scattered static. Somewhere out there in the freezing, pitch-black water, nine other elite squad members-including Rose, the brilliant engineer Erza secretly loves-are fighting for their lives. To survive, they must dive into the unknown. They must scavenge metal from the sunken wreckage, craft advanced diving suits to withstand crushing pressure, and build a functioning underwater habitat. But as they venture deeper into the unexplored abyssal trenches, their Scountee scanners pick up massive, ancient genetic markers. Something colossal is lurking in the dark.

In a quiet town of Taiping, Rizal Salleh has always known the rhythm of his days. The scent of leather, the careful stitching of soles, the familiar faces that pass by his small workshop. But some paths are not meant to stay in one place. When an unexpected opportunity calls him beyond the town he has always known, Rizal finds himself stepping into a journey that will take him across unfamiliar roads, cultures, and people-each leaving behind something he cannot quite name, but cannot forget. Along the way, he begins to understand that some things are not simply made by hand... but shaped by stories, memories, and the quiet connections we carry with us. Langkah Warisan is a gentle journey of discovery, heritage, and the footsteps we leave behind. Malay words and phrases are woven throughout the story to preserve its cultural voice. The journey begins with a 3-chapter release followed by one chapter every Saturday, Monday and Thursday. And if you like to learn more behind the process of creating Langkah Warisan, feel free to follow instagram account @langkah.warisan

📖 SYNOPSIS Some days are meant to last forever. In 1952, a group of magical artisans known as the "Curiouses" sealed themselves away in a hidden mansion, freezing time to protect their craft from those who feared it. They called it the Atelier-a place where clocks always read 3:17 PM, and magic is forged into objects that hold the power of life and death. Decades later, Maisie discovers an unfinished pocket watch among her late grandfather's belongings. It doesn't tell time; instead, it shows possible futures and hidden truths. Hunted by mysterious men known as The Smelters, she follows the watch's guidance to the coast of Wales, where a path appears where none should exist. Stepping through the gate, Maisie enters a world stuck in the past. She meets Madame Marge, the stern guardian of the Atelier, and other young Crafters: Finn, who breathes life into wooden creatures; Lila, whose weaving reveals absolute truth; and Oscar, whose metalwork carries the weight of the soul. But the magic that protects them is failing. Cracks are appearing in time, and enemies are breaking through. Worse, the leader of the Smelters is none other than Silas Ironclad, a founding member who left decades ago, consumed by anger and betrayal. Maisie must learn to master her grandfather's creation and uncover the secret of the Key of Tides. She faces an impossible choice: seal the Atelier away forever to keep them safe, or open the doors and risk everything to connect with others like them. Because sometimes, hiding isn't the only way to survive.

In the world of Gekai, there are countless tales of heroes - individuals blessed by the gods, who nurtured the powers growing within them to become legends. But this story is not about a hero, nor is it about an anti-hero. This is the tale of a reincarnated soul who appeared without any divine blessing or Familia. A poor, nameless child who regained his past memories and rose to become a dignified craftsman, owing nothing to any god. "My name is Parzival Prize... a lone adventurer. I will join no Familia. I work only for myself. I step Solo into the darkness of the Dungeon... labyrinth is my playground, and ingenuity is my greatest asset."

A land where dwarves have fallen from power and glory, reduced to little more than second class citizens and slaves, a Thane is needed to bring the dwarves back into the mountains. At the request of a dying god Stronric Wraith-Thane travels worlds as a last hope. Equipped with nothing more than a pick axe, his wits and duty to his oath, Stronric must battle enemies with unknown powers, magic and abilities. Guided by unlikely allies he must adapt in this world of levels, stats, and classes to restore the forgotten God's once glorious hold, bring power back to the dwarven race, and grow into his birth right of thane. At this time we have over 1,200 pages ready to go, to get ready for some dwarven fun. I will release three a week until this website is caught up.
