Kalem was born into a world where gods and monsters shaped the land with their endless wars, leaving mortals to suffer in their wake. Orphaned by divine wrath and hardened by survival, he refuses to be just another pawn in their cruel game. Armed with a burning will and a power he barely understands, Kalem sets out on a journey to rise above the gods themselves. Along the way, he battles fearsome creatures, forges uneasy alliances, and unearths secrets that challenge everything he knows about his world—and himself. But as he climbs higher, he must ask himself: is he becoming the hero he longs to be, or just another monster in a different form? Hello, author here this is my first book and appreciate if you gave it a chance. thanks

In a world built on lies, even monsters may wear the face of a hero. Centuries have passed since the Great War of 3044, a cataclysm that shattered kingdoms and forged legends. The realm of Ethera now basks in a fragile peace, upheld by the Church of the Lightfather and the tales of the heroic Voidguard—who, the stories claim, defeated the Demon of Calamity and sealed away its destructive power. History, however, is never as simple as the victors say. Into this world awakens a nameless man in a forest scarred by strange magic, his memories erased and his power unsettlingly immense. Villagers call him Kiyoshi, and though he finds comfort in a quiet life and bonds with the strong-willed Celosia and vigilant Rajieru, shadows of the past whisper in every storm, and rumours of a returning demon begin to spread. The Church’s immaculate stories start to crumble. Symbols long thought dormant flare with unseen energy, and the world’s forgotten histories claw their way back into the light. The Great War may not have been a triumph of good over evil, but a massacre of those who dared to resist the gods’ designs. Demons, once seen as mindless monsters, may have been pawns. The saints, often regarded as the protectors of humanity, may have been the true villains. As Kiyoshi struggles to uncover his past, he discovers fragments of a terrifying possibility: the Demon of Calamity may not be who anyone expects. And if he is that demon… could he be the hero Ethera desperately needs—or the doom it fears most? With magic stirring, storms ripping the skies, and secrets threatening to unravel everything, Kiyoshi must navigate a world built on deceit, confront the god who reshaped reality, and decide what he will become. Will he embrace the monstrous title whispered in fear and legend, or forge a new destiny that defies prophecy? In Ethera, the line between hero and monster has always been razor-thin. And when the truth finally surfaces, no one will ever look at the world—or Kiyoshi—the same way again.

KUSHALA EXTINCTION *"Dunia yang menolak untuk ditaklukkan."* Kushala Extinction adalah game VR-Fantasy terbesar yang pernah dibuat oleh RockMoon Studios. Dengan dunia yang luas tanpa batas, sistem pertarungan realistis, NPC yang mampu berpikir dan berinteraksi layaknya manusia, serta rahasia yang tak terhitung jumlahnya, game ini berhasil menjadi fenomena global. Namun ada satu hal yang membuat seluruh dunia bingung. Meski telah dimainkan selama bertahun-tahun oleh jutaan pemain, cerita utama Kushala Extinction bahkan belum berkembang satu persen. Tak ada yang mengetahui lokasi boss utama. Tak ada yang memahami jalan cerita sebenarnya. Bahkan guild terbesar dan pro player terbaik dunia hanya mampu menemukan potongan-potongan kecil dari misteri yang tersembunyi di balik dunia Kushala. Sementara seluruh dunia terobsesi mencari jawabannya, seorang pemuda Indonesia bernama Arya hanya ingin menikmati game baru. Ia bukan pemain nomor satu. Bukan streamer terkenal. Bukan pula pro player. Arya hanyalah seorang gamer veteran yang menghabiskan hidupnya memainkan berbagai macam game hingga tamat, dari mahakarya legendaris hingga game buruk yang bahkan tak sanggup dimainkan orang lain. Kemampuan terbesarnya bukanlah kekuatan atau bakat luar biasa. Melainkan kemampuan beradaptasi dengan setiap game yang ia mainkan. Atas ajakan lima sahabat onlinenya—termasuk dua pro player kelas dunia—Arya akhirnya memutuskan untuk mencoba Kushala Extinction. Yang tidak ia ketahui adalah bahwa langkah kecil yang ia ambil di dunia Kushala akan membawanya menuju rahasia yang gagal ditemukan oleh jutaan pemain selama bertahun-tahun. Sebuah rahasia yang mungkin akan mengubah seluruh dunia game itu selamanya.

When she opened her eyes, she had inexplicably returned to twenty years ago, the first day of the apocalypse escape. "Classmate, you're a Superpower User, right? How about considering joining our special operations squad?" Looking at the man opposite her with sparkling, charming eyes, Xie Ning heartlessly refused: "Thanks, I have a team." "Ah, what team do you have?" "No team." "Right, you're beautiful, so whatever you say is right. How about this, you join our squad, and I will accompany you through wind and rain, and go through fire and water with you to clear dungeons and kill monsters." "Every single day, year after year?" "Mhm! I will work hard to make money, and only for you. How does that sound?" Xie Ning: ... After being reborn, her small Space has turned into a large, mobile villa, and she originally just wanted to live her own quiet little life in peace.
