If you think the Murim world is a place to cultivate and become a hero, throw that thought in the trash and burn it. Here, there are no death days. The moment you let your guard down, that is the day of your death. Just breathing has become a luxury. So, what about Karman, a man who cannot cultivate at all? inatagram: @nemutuen

Growing up, life seemed ordinary… until reality itself began to fracture. Pulled into visions and shadows that twist the world around them, the chosen few must navigate dangers that exist both in dreams and in waking life. Every step could be a trap, every shadow a threat, and nothing is truly what it seems. As nightmares bleed into reality, they must survive horrors that test their mind, body, and soul — and face truths that may be too terrible to endure. The Ash Eyes saga is a journey through fear, shadow, and the fragile line between dreams and reality, where every chapter could be the last and every nightmare is only the beginning.

A king without sight. A slave without freedom. Their paths are bound by their fates and the end is determined by their choices.

Oswin Thornwell is not a hero. He is a survivor. At seven years old, a catastrophic energy within him—the Primordial Essence—awakened and annihilated his entire city, including his parents. Branded an outcast and haunted by nightmares, Oswin drifts through life, trying to suppress the power that is both his curse and his only inheritance. But he is not alone. Nightmarish creatures known as Véracités are born from trauma like his, and a silent war is waged in the shadows to contain them and other menacing threats. It is in this bleak world that Aeron Gwyn, a master of the mysterious Kardeyn order, sees in Oswin not a threat, but a final hope. Under Aeron's relentless tutelage, Oswin begins to train, learning to wield his power and discovering that his pain could be the key to protecting others. However, the fragile peace maintained by the Kardeyns is beginning to shatter. Ancient forces, long dormant, are now stirring in the shadows. Their motives are inscrutable, their power unimaginable, and their mere presence begins to warp reality itself, threatening to unleash chaos upon the world. Caught between the monstrous Véracités and these emerging threats, Oswin must confront his own darkness and learn what it means to be human in a universe that seems intent on proving compassion is a weakness. Because if he fails, the world won't be conquered... it will simply be torn apart.

Max Taylor was supposed to get a second chance. One moment he was dying in a crumpled car, headlights bleeding into the night— the next, he opened his eyes beneath a foreign sky, reborn into a world where the wind smelled cleaner and the stars burned unfamiliar. Fate, he thought, was finally being kind. But kindness doesn’t linger. Within months, his new parents—gentle hands, warm smiles, the family he never had—were murdered without a trace. No bodies. No clues. Just the echo of loss repeating itself like a cruel cosmic joke. Grief hardened into a quiet storm inside him, a five-year-old carrying an anger far too ancient. Just when the darkness felt bottomless, his “golden finger” arrived. The Wish Stone. Sentient. Sensitive. And loud enough to give a monk a migraine. Sy—blunt, sarcastic, and convinced Max is one bad decision wrapped in skin—becomes his unwilling partner. Every boost, every upgrade, every tiny miracle drains Max’s hard-earned Wish Points. Sy charges him for everything, even cleaning up messes Max didn’t know he made. If power came with a troll, it would look exactly like this. Armed with grit, borrowed miracles, and Sy’s nonstop commentary, Max grows stronger in the shadows of the mundane world—picking up scraps of intel, dismantling gangs, digging through the grime for the one truth that matters: who killed his parents? But the truth comes with fangs. Taking on a job, Max stumbles upon a request to kill a vampire, a confirmation that the world he's in isn't as it seems. Behind the neon-lit alleys and smoky hideouts lies a hidden realm—creatures of myth walking in tailored suits, old powers trading secrets beneath moonlit cathedrals, mysteries sharper than blades. The underworld he hunted is only the surface. And the monster he’s been chasing? He isn’t the killer. Worse—his parents aren’t dead. Everything Max has bled for, every path he clawed his way through, every night of rage, every wish… all built on a perfect, deliberate lie. Now Max must dive deeper, into a maze of shadows where truth costs more than Wish Points, and the dead don’t stay dead. With Sy’s taunting voice in his ear and a destiny shaped by secrets, Max hunts the real puppeteer pulling the strings of his life—twice. A boy reborn. A world concealed. A sarcastic cheat system with opinions. And a mystery that rewrites everything.

To have the ability to see into people's past has no real appeal for the teenager this story is about, letting him only use it as amusement and to show off when he was drunk. Never look into someone's past beyond a superficial level. Never try to find out more than you should. NEVER. EVER. LOOK. INTO. THE. FUTURE. But everything changed the moment he was forced to look into the future, was forced to investigate the circumstances of a murder, and was forced to make the acquaintance of the victim's twin brother('s fists). The more time passed, the more it appeared that the primary reason for this murder wasn't a local, but a global one. This single, marred corpse was the beginning of a threat that would shake the world. (MC loses a screw when he enters the prison.)

This is a tale of a man on a journey to becoming the creator of gods and monsters, and he doesn’t care how many lives he has take to make that happen. Once he was human, but with the power of a System in his hands he is reborn as the embodiment of giving. A living sentient world. A creature so rare in the cosmos that all being throughout infinity will stop at nothing to enslave or destroy. But is Holstein as much of a giving world as the soul that possesses it? Or will John abandon his current [WORLD SYSTEM] for a better and more violent one? —————— Author’s Note. Spoilers ahead. Skip to the next chapter if you’re not interested. I’m not going to lie. Most people may or may not like this book. Reason being: 1. John is a borderline villain. 2. I built this world to explain the setting of all of my future books. John exists for the lore. He is not a hero or anti-hero. 3. There will be a lot of likable characters. None will have a happy ending. You know what I hate? Plot armor. So I thought, “Why not create a throwaway book built for lore but not for the familiar content we all know and love?” So I created John Holstein—the guy who could’ve had it all if his greed and negligence hadn’t gotten in the way. I wrote this book with the idea that there could have been plot armor… but every time John gets a win… well… let’s just say bad things follow. With that, I hope you enjoy my book with the full knowledge that things aren’t as they seem. Enjoy!
