renegades novel

What would you do if you kept reliving your worst day... over and over... until you got it right? Ren Ryūhara arrives at Sakura High for only one reason: to find the boy who knows why his brother ended up in a coma. What he didn't expect was to become a pawn in a brutal gang war or to discover that he can rewind time itself. Three months. That's how long it took to break him. One savage beating. One betrayal. One body in a pool of blood still laughing even as Ren crushes his throat. The cops arrive and Ren realizes too late: he was set up from the very beginning. But when his eyes open again, he's not in a cell. He's back at Day One. The question isn't if Ren will break the loop. It's who he will become by the time he does. Checkmate. Your move. This is a gritty, time-loop thriller in the vein of Tokyo Revengers, Re:Zero where every reset costs more than the last, and the only way forward is to break the cycle before it breaks him. https://discord.gg/9xJusvAzC here's the discord link for discussion, theories and character art.

[WAKE UP. REPAIR. KILL. EVOLVE.] Marcus died as a human and woke up as scrap. Trapped in a rusted droid body with only 1% battery remaining, he finds himself at the bottom of the food chain in the Endless Scrapyard. Here, mercy is a glitch, and other bots are just walking spare parts waiting to be harvested. But Marcus has something the others don't: **The System.** He can rip the laser cannon off a fallen enemy and weld it to his arm. He can integrate the armor of a tank into his skin. He can consume the cores of his rivals to upgrade his own processing power. In a world ruled by Mega-Corporations and War AIs, being "just a machine" is a death sentence. To survive, he must become a monster. From a legless cripple to a Steel God of War. They call him junk. He calls himself the Future. *** **--- AUTHOR'S NOTE ---** This story is currently being posted on **Royal Road** and is significantly ahead of the updates here.
