System Call: Opehlion Protocol
- Reads 196
- Votes 14

In a medieval world of Caelrevia where magic draws directly from the body, every spell consumes something vital; internal heat, bodily fluids, nutrients, vitamins; there is no mana, only life. Everyone is born with the ability to wield, but only the wealthy can afford to cast it.
At the top of the arcane order sit the Administrators, bearers of the Ophelion Protocol; gold rings that exempt them from magic's cost and grant them control over time, towns, and the laws of casting itself. Beneath them, a rigid hierarchy governs access to resources, spellcasting rights, and even bodily autonomy.
Magic is both power and punishment. The poor waste away trying to cast a single spell. The rich burn cities without breaking a sweat. Rebellion brews as the desperate Strains and broken Wicks seek to challenge a system built on consumption, but how do you fight gods when you starve every time you raise your hand?

Tea Time and Cookies: A (not so) Quiet Beginning
Life ended quietly. Rebirth? Not so much. I'd lived a perfectly normal nerd-life: a family, a career, too many hobbies, and a purse full of "just-in-case" items. Gardening, old crafting techniques, reading, manga, animé-especially the alternate-world kind. If I had one regret, it was not traveling as much as I'd wanted. But all things end eventually. I expected nothingness... or whatever reward awaited after a long, fulfilling life. Instead, I woke up to the very real problem of a massive creature trying to eat me. I'd been reborn into another world. I should have been thrilled, right? With very little to go on-aside from the fact that magic existed here-I decided the smartest approach was to keep a low profile and train like crazy. Survive first. Explore later. My new family seemed pleasantly surprised (and occasionally alarmed) by my dedication to both physical and magical training. And once I started attending school, I made fast friends... then accidentally convinced them to apprentice under my father. The more the merrier, I figured. But hiding my abilities is proving harder than expected, and the more I grow, the more certain people seem unsettled by my existence. Surviving to adulthood may be the real challenge. ⚠️ READER NOTICE This story is written and published by AlphaNyte. Unauthorized copies of my work have appeared on mirror sites.

The Chaos World Part 1
Welcome to the first part of The Chaos World. I will explain a few things in this section before you start reading about this adventure. Inspiration: My inspiration comes from various sources, but anime heavily influences it. I have watched so much (and am still watching) that I wanted to create my own original work, but I can't draw, so I just wrote everything out instead. Abilities: The Chaos World uses two sources of energy: energy (of course) and Rai. Rai allows people to increase their power depending on how much they are willing to use it. Side-Note: All major attacks will be italic The World: The Chaos World is two or three (I forgot) times bigger than real life. This world has six nations instead of states, cities, and countries. Each nation is the same size as Chongqing, China, and the names of each nation are: The Unlimited Nation Ladies of Light Nation Speed Nation Knights Nation Elite Nation Commanders Nation Copyright: I have this book copyrighted, so don't be the person who thinks they can get away with stealing anything from it. Just read and enjoy the ride!Complete
