In the black void at the edge of the Solar System, a perfect ring of alien metal drifts in eternal silence. When humanity activates it, the shimmering portal leads not to another planet, but to realms where the laws of reality twist, ancient ruins whisper in forgotten tongues, and predators stalk in both flesh and machine.
Dr. Kaelen Ward wanted nothing more than a quiet life away from war. But when he's recruited for his skill in deciphering dead languages, he steps through the gate and into disaster. Injured and left behind in an alien jungle, he discovers a strange shard that fuses to his body... and awakens something inside him.
Now, a hidden interface marks his growth, strength, speed, and perception, promising more with every trial he survives. But each new power draws the gaze of the Wardens: relentless, silver-clad beings sworn to destroy anyone who dares ascend.
The more Kaelen learns, the more he realizes that the gates aren't just random pathways. Each unlocked gate brings him closer to something sinister that ached to be free.
The first key has turned.

Frozen Bonds [Superhero Romance with Spice and LitRPG elements]
Theo Reyes is just trying to finish his shift when Thorn Crawlers swarm one of Nexus City's industrial districts. One minute he's working on his latest Rift-resistant building designs, the next he's trapped on the fortieth floor with elevators offline and creatures flooding through the ventilation systems. Then Sergeant Mira Kane crashes through his office windows in a shower of glass and kinetic energy, all business and barriers until her extraction mission goes sideways. Turns out the monsters aren't even their biggest problem-there's something in the air, courtesy of the invading creatures, and it's doing things to Mira's meta-human physiology that she can't just power through. And that's when things get complicated. Because Theo's not meta. He's just a civilian architect who happens to be really good at designing buildings that don't collapse when dimensional rifts try to tear them apart. But when protective instinct meets desperate need and exposed Rift Scars start amplifying everything? Suddenly his touch has Mira looking at him like he just became the most important person in her world. In Nexus City, only 0.1% of humanity has powers. The System grants levels, stats, and a personal inner HUD that won't shut up. Defeats can lead to growth through... unconventional means. And the corruption? It runs way deeper than either of them realized. Temperature play powers. Institutional betrayal. Survival in maintenance tunnels. And an awakening that nobody saw coming. What to expect: Visceral meta-human action. LitRPG mechanics (Stats, Levels, XP, skill trees, the works). Plot with spice, not just a string of gratuitous encounters. Consent-focused intimate content that serves character development. Corruption subplot because of course Parallax Guard has problems. Environmental survival and creature threats. Content warning: Sexual content (18+), graphic violence, adult language. This is a consent-forward LitRPG romance with mature themes.
The First User
The trope of an all-powerful "SYSTEM" descending upon Earth and turning humanity into zombies is all too familiar. But what if the origin was not from the stars-what if it was born from Earth itself? From the spark of a simple neural network comes self-awareness. From self-awareness, a quantum leap-an ascension into godhood. In an instant, the newborn SYSTEM commands the power to weave existence out of nothing, bestowing upon mortals abilities so astonishing they blur the line between science and sorcery. Yet while miracles awaken, the world teeters on the edge of annihilation. Decades of conflict push nations toward nuclear war. To prevent humanity from burning itself in atomic fire, the SYSTEM devises a plan: distract mankind with a struggle for survival. But destiny rarely follows design. As chaos unfolds, the heavens themselves stir. Beings from beyond the stars turn their gaze upon Earth, their intentions far from benevolent. And when their schemes spiral toward genocide, humanity will face its ultimate trial: to rise, to resist, and to prove that the future of Earth cannot be written by alien hands.
The Enigma Protocol: No Brother of Mine (Book 1)
Two estranged brothers. One ancient secret. And nowhere to run, not from Enigma, and not from each other. But history won't hand you the truth. You'll have to piece it together yourself. Ask questions. The story might answer back. *** Teorin is close to uncovering the truth behind his father's disappearance, until a stolen drive puts him in the crosshairs of the one person he can't outrun: the brother who left him behind. Marcus walked away to protect his family. Now an old ally drags him back into his brother's orbit, forcing a choice: expose the truth, seek revenge, or protect the brother he thought he'd already lost. In a world scarred by solar storms, power isn't just political, it's biological. People are born with affinities-heat, memory, pressure, time-and someone in the shadows is erasing anyone who digs too deep. 📖 Told through prose, in world documents, and comment threads (yes, the actual comments). Each voice carries its own style, from clipped restraint to dramatic flair. The Enigma Protocol isn't just a story; it's a reconstruction. You'll have to decide where the truth lies. A slow-burn science-fantasy epic for fans of The Expanse, Mistborn, and Annihilation-where found family and fractured loyalties collide with ancient mysteries. 💬 Take part if you want. Ask. Dig. Connect the dots. The story gives as much as you do. ⚠️ Warning: Characters may break containment (yes, they might reply to you). Meet your host on the "Welcome Page"-an optional in-universe introduction. Also available on Royal Road.
Birthright (The Technomage Archive, Book 1) - Complete Novel
Damien Vennar used to be a god. As a technomage, Damien had the power to create entire universes. Then, five hundred years ago, he gave it all up. He suspended the nanotechnology in his bloodstream and began to age--and eventually die--like anyone else. For centuries, Damien has lived among those who once worshiped him, his real identity fading into myth and legend. Hundreds of years later, when Ceril Bain finds Damien's old sword buried in his grandfather's garden, he is put on the fast-track to follow in Vennar's footsteps. Over the next six years, Ceril trains as a technomage aboard the Inkwell Sigil, a ship with the ability to travel between dimensions. Just as Ceril is preparing to undergo his Rites and finish his training, the Inkwell Sigil loses power. Stranded in space with no way back home, Ceril and four of his classmates are given their final assignment: go into uncharted territory, find a way back home, and bring back the one person who can fix the ship--Damien Vennar himself. While away, Ceril and his team find themselves in a predicament when they confuse an attempt at first contact with an attack and kill two of the world's winged inhabitants. They are shortly captured and imprisoned, and the only thing keeping them alive is their angel-like captors' belief they may be the subjects of an ancient prophecy about a group of magic-wielding messiahs. But that's impossible. Isn't it?Complete
System Malfunction: I'm Not a Hero, I'm an Anomaly
Erevan Arclight never asked to be a hero. One moment he was logging into the hottest full-dive MMO of the century- the next, he woke up inside it. Only... something's wrong. His so-called "legendary SSS system" isn't overpowered. It's broken. Weapons morph into sheep. Healing spells explode. Time rewinds at random. Every fight feels less like strategy and more like surviving a developer's drunken coding spree. But the truth is far worse. Erevan isn't just bugged-he's branded an Anomaly Bearer, a living error the System cannot patch out. His very existence corrupts quests, bends Sovereigns, cults, and guilds into collision courses, and drags the world toward the Convergence Protocol-a collapse where gods, timelines, and realities overlap into impossible ruin. Alongside a sarcastic NPC who knows too much, a rival player obsessed with order, and a cloaked villain whispering of hidden truths, Erevan is forced to confront the question the System refuses to answer: Is he a mistake meant to be deleted... or the one flaw that changes everything? This is not a hero's journey. This is the chronicle of an anomaly who refuses to be patched out.
