abandoned

Family is a luxury not everyone can afford. Adelyn learned that the day Clara returned to the Scott family —and she quietly stopped belonging. No one abused her. No one hurt her openly. But the love that was once hers alone became divided. The attention that once chose her … became something she had to borrow. And whenever something precious stood between her and Clara —Adelyn was the one asked to let go. Not once. Not twice. But every single time. Her dreams. Her choices. Her place in the family. Her heart didn’t break in a single moment —it wore down slowly … until nothing remained worth fighting for. So, she erased herself from their world. Not in anger. Not in revenge. But to save what little of herself was left. ————— Seven years later, Adelyn returned. Not for the Scott family. Not for their love. She came back for the dreams she was once forced to abandon —and this time, nothing would be taken from her. No compromises. No sacrifices. Only her life. Her rules. She breathed in freedom. “No family…no shackles.” But just then— Two small arms wrapped around her legs. She stiffened. Looking down, she met a pair of familiar doe eyes staring up at her with unwavering trust. “Mama … Eira waited long for you. Don’t leave again.” …Mama? Before she could understand or react, a tall shadow fell over them. A man stood there —gaze sharp, cold, claiming —looking at her like she had belonged to him. “You dared to show up again?” Adelyn felt clueless. She would have asked him what he meant, however — Before she could speak — the ground vanished beneath her feet. A powerful arm lifted her effortlessly. “Since you dared …” his voice dropped —low, restrained, dangerous. “Don’t think of escaping again.

Leon had been a ruthless and powerful gangster on Earth. As the saying goes, he who lives by the sword dies by the sword. One quiet afternoon, while he was drinking tea, a single bullet pierced his heart. And just like that, the man everyone feared died with a faint smile on his face, as if he had always known this day would come. But what Leon never imagined was that death would not be the end for him. He woke up inside the body of a young boy. His new mother was nothing more than a servant in the Skywalker family, and his father was the youngest son of the family head. In name, the body Leon inherited belonged to a young lord. But because his mother was a servant, he was never favored. In fact, he was treated worse than a slave within the family. His own father killed his mother right in front of his eyes. And the boy was forced to hand over his bloodline heart just to ensure the safety of his little sister. No one expected what came next. Even though Leon became a cripple after that incident, when he crossed into this world, he brought something with him. From the primitive Earth, a place that did not even have complete heavenly laws, he carried a system like a cheat code into this magical world that did have such laws. And so the hacker with the strongest bug entered the world of Celestia. #transmigration, #cheat, #system, #romance, #overpowered, #cultivation, #revenge

At the heart of a wish lies an attempt at completion, a human desire to become our true and final selves. Wishes are fuelled by regrets and are bound eternally to the past, serving as approximations of what once was. We all experience regret and nostalgia, leading us to make wishes and find despair, but can we become our true selves despite this all?

June 25th, 1982. Deep beneath the Antarctic ice—far below where sound should carry and life should exist—something was discovered. A cocoon. Colossal. Ancient. Sleeping. Sensors confirmed it was alive. No one knew what was inside. No one was willing to cut it open. Those stationed closest to it reported headaches. Nosebleeds. Insomnia. And, worst of all, the unshakable feeling of being watched— even when the thing never moved. A.E.G.I.S. responded immediately. The Erebus Research Facility was built around the discovery, burying it beneath layers of steel, concrete, and secrecy. They gave the creature a name. Azathoth. They believed it was an alien. A living nightmare from somewhere beyond Earth. How long it had slept beneath the ice, no one could say. Only that it was there. Waiting.

He never expected anything from life. Not happiness. Not success. Not even change. But one moment— That was all it took. The world broke. When he opened his eyes again, he wasn’t where he was supposed to be. A black desert stretched endlessly in every direction, lifeless and silent, as if the world itself had been abandoned long ago. The air was dry enough to burn, the ground unstable beneath his feet, and the only things that moved were creatures that should not exist. There were no rules. No guidance. No second chances. Here, survival came at a cost. Kill—and take what remains. Power was not given. It was stolen, piece by piece, from whatever you could bring down. But that power was not clean. It carried something with it… something that changed you. Slowly. Irreversibly. And the more he survived— The more something inside him began to shift. This world did not just test strength. It consumed it. With no way back, no understanding of where he was, and no one to rely on, he had only one choice: Keep moving. Because in a place like this— Stopping meant death. And surviving… Might be worse.

They called him cursed - a child born under a crying sky. Sold by the parents who blamed him for their fall... broken by a cult that wished to shape a god... or forge a devil. They starved him of love, drowned him in pain, until tears dried - and only a smile remaine itd. He did not die. He was reborn. Now the boy who once begged for mercy returns, not as a saint, but as a quiet storm wearing a crimson smile. And heaven and hell will learn: the damned do not pray - they rise.

a world reborn from cosmic chaos, one forgotten soul holds the key to creation itself.Twenty years ago, the Crystal Fall shattered reality. Glowing shards of ancient power rained across Earth—from the bustling streets of India to the neon skylines of Japan, the vast plains of Russia to America's towering cities. Those who absorbed them awakened godlike abilities: flight, elemental dominion, telekinesis. Within two months, every nation surrendered borders, forging Aetheria—humanity's last united stand.Kairos, 19, survives Nexus slums as a powerless outcast, haunted by a buried origin and a lost brother.

Twin black holes collide before him, birthing the Cosmic System:["Host Kairos. Unravel universal birth... and Crystal Fall's enigma..."]Now bound to a reality-warping interface, Kairos embarks on a perilous odyssey: conquer ocean depths harboring untapped crystal horrors, challenge Aetheria's power-hungry elite, uncover his forgotten lineage, and solve the ultimate mystery—why the crystals fell, and what they reveal about existence itself.When power defines worth, the powerless hold the greatest truth

Azrea Deville has never been wanted. Abandoned as an infant, raised in an orphanage, and cursed with unnatural red eyes that make people call her a demon, she has learned one truth: kindness is a lie, and the only way to survive is to strike first. But on an ordinary day in an ordinary classroom, the floor erupts with light. A strange pattern spreads beneath everyone's feet. Then a sharp sound tears through the air. Then everything goes dark. Azrea wakes up. But not in her world. She opens her eyes to find herself in another world filled with mystery, magic, sorcery, and supernatural beings.

Nille F. Tsukuyomi, great-grandson of Amparo Pilar Fajardo and Takeshi Tsukuyomi, carries in his veins the hidden legacy of the spirits that dwell between the human realm and the unseen worlds. A mark etched upon his right shoulder bears witness to this power, a silent sigil of destinies intertwined. Born of both Filipino and Japanese blood, he is also a direct descendant of Tsukuyomi, the Japanese moon god, the crescent moon etched beneath his tattooed Enlil symbol glowing with quiet significance. Towering at six feet, with silver-gray eyes that pierce through darkness and long black hair that flows like midnight, Nille stands as a living convergence of two ancient mythologies. In a world teetering on the edge of war, haunted by the remnants of forgotten gods and restless spirits, he must navigate the duality of his heritage, awakening powers drawn from both the ancestral spirits of the earth and the divine luminescence of the moon. Enemies lurk in every shadow, drawn to the strength and legacy he carries—those who would seek to claim it, and those who would destroy it. Yet Nille’s path is not only one of survival; it is a journey of identity, of destiny, and of mastering the delicate balance between mortal blood and divine essence. In his veins flows the pulse of ancient worlds. In his heart burns the struggle between human will and celestial inheritance. And the fate of both realms may hinge upon the choices of this extraordinary scion, whose very presence is a bridge between what is seen…and what is eternal. If you want, I can also craft an even more cinematic, “opening-novel style” version that reads like the first paragraph of an epic fantasy, with a sense of impending war, mystery, and supernatural grandeur, it would

Permanently bound to Level 1 by a Unique Trait known as the Level 1 Curse, Aken exists at the very bottom of a society where strength determines value. But his curse is not what it seems. Unlike others, Aken does not grow through levels— He evolves through cursed energy, battle, and survival. As abnormal dungeons begin to appear and monsters display impossible intelligence, Aken is drawn into a hidden conflict far beyond the system’s design. A conflict that may reveal the truth behind the Storm… The system itself, and the terrifying role he was never meant to play.

Kael was never a normal child. From the moment he was born, something mysterious existed within him. As he grows older, powerful souls begin to awaken inside his body—Dark Smiler, the Demon Lord, the Devil King, the Divine Soul, and the Void. But these souls do not appear all at once. Some challenge him through battle, some test him through negotiation, and some appear in ways that no one can predict. Each soul carries its own power, personality, and ancient secrets.

By his side is a mysterious AI companion capable of taking a human form, guiding him through a world filled with hidden dangers and forgotten history. But Kael’s journey becomes even more complicated when he encounters Fake Kael, an enemy who challenges his identity and existence itself. After countless battles and sacrifices, Kael eventually dies… But his story does not end there. He is reincarnated. Now he must uncover the truth behind the five souls within him and face a destiny that could either save the world… or destroy it completely. When darkness, divinity, and the void exist within one person… Will he become the world's savior—or its greatest disaster?

Everyone in that building feared Andrew Simon. I was the only one who never showed it. That was before the diagnosis. Before the million dollar check. Before ninety nights that rearranged everything I thought I knew about power and who actually holds it. Turns out darkness is the great equalizer. And Andrew Simon has never been more dangerous than when he has something to lose.

In a world where…everyone smiles. Everyone trusts…everyone lies. A quiet, cold voice: “I thought I lived among humans…” Quick shots: A mother smiles…over her a word: regret. A friend laughs…over her: betrayal. A crowded city…and everyone carries their own darkness. “Until I opened my eyes…” The sound of a heartbeat…slows… “and saw the truth.” A shot of the protagonist…his eyes gradually change. “They’re not good…they’re not bad…” Silence… “They’re just…honest in their filth.” System activation: [Activated: Fall System] Fast-forwarding shots: People fighting – someone collapsing – someone being deceived – fake smiles. “You think you control me…” Darkness covers the screen… “But you’re…just pawns in a game.” Final shot: The protagonist stands, half his face in the light…the other half in pitch black, his eyes…cold. “And I…am the only player.”

In a dying kingdom where names are the only anchor to existence, people are slowly being erased, forgotten by the world and by each other. Memories decay, identities fracture, and those who lose their names become something far worse than dead. When a child is born without a name, untouched by the very force that binds reality together, he should not exist. The ancient laws demand his removal, for the nameless have brought ruin before. Yet when the darkness comes to claim him, it hesitates. That single moment of hesitation awakens something older than the kingdom itself. Hunted by those who fear him and drawn by forces that should not notice the living, the boy becomes the center of a truth long buried: names do not just define existence… they control it. And something in this broken world is starting to remember what it once was.

Welcome to the world of Great Murim, where strength is measured by the depth of one’s Dantian. But what happens when the world’s greatest genius has no Dantian at all? 1. The Core System: Why Hanzo is Different In this world, 99% of cultivators use the Lower Core (located in the gut) to store Qi like a battery. The "Trash" Label: Hanzo’s Lower Core is a "Void." He cannot store energy. The Upper Core: Instead, Hanzo has awakened his Mental Core. He doesn't store power; he processes it. He sees the world not in shapes, but in structural blueprints and energy flows. 2. The Specialist Ability: Blue-Light Projection When Hanzo focuses, he enters a state of High-Precision Analysis. Visuals: He projects "Blue-Print" holograms of weapons, buildings, or even his enemies' bodies. Effect: He can see every crack, every weakness, and every flaw. If a legendary sword has a 0.1% impurity, Hanzo will find it—and shatter it. 3. The Crafting Ranks (Quick Reference) As Hanzo climbs from a slave to a God-Smith, he interacts with items in these tiers: Common Grade: Basic tools of the mortal world. Refined Grade: Professional weapons of the Murim soldiers. Masterpiece: High-tier blades that can resonate with a user's Qi. Artifact: Rare items with unique abilities (like Hanzo’s companion, Aero). Legendary & Beyond: Weapons that can alter the laws of physics. 4. Cultivation: The Path of the Architect Hanzo doesn't learn traditional "Sect Skills." He "forges" his own Qi-circulation. Every time he reaches a new rank (from Ashen Scholar to Transcendence), it’s not just a power-up—it’s a software and hardware upgrade for his body. 5. What to Expect Zero to Hero: Watch a slave outsmart arrogant geniuses using pure logic and craftsmanship. Unique Combat: No "energy beams"—instead, Hanzo uses precision strikes, traps, and self-made gadgets. Epic Scale: A journey spanning 3000 chapters, from the soot-filled slave pits to the floating palaces of the Gods. "The world sees a broken blade. I see a masterpiece waiting to be corrected." — Hanzo Welcome! I have always had a deep passion for storytelling and world-building, but translating my complex ideas into written words has been a challenge. To bring my creativity to life exactly as I envision it, I use AI as a writing assistant. This allows me to focus on the plot, the intricate crafting systems, and the journey of our protagonist while ensuring the story is told clearly and vividly. Thank you for joining me on this epic adventure!
