marcel the shell

He called labor "easy." Now he has to survive it. Billionaire Eric Davis built his empire on control. His wife, Eleanor, was just another asset: cheated on, belittled, and quietly stripped of her inheritance. Pregnancy? "Drama." Pain? "Easy." But karma has a twisted sense of humor. Eric opens his eyes in a delivery room-in Eleanor's body, in active labor. Eleanor wakes up in his body-in his mistress's bed, wearing his face, his voice, and the power he used to destroy her. Eleanor has lost her face. But she's gained the perfect weapon. She doesn't just want her money back-she wants to bring his empire down, brick by brick. Revenge is a blade with two edges. To destroy the monster, Eleanor must live inside his skin-without becoming him.

The only thing he remembers is his name—and a strange talking beetle named Kio, who claims to be a fragment of his soul.

From thriving cities to untamed frontiers, he encounters people bound by conflict, prejudice, and the lingering shadows of a forgotten age. Yet beneath this world's familiar surface lies something far stranger: relics of retro-futuristic technology and secrets that should have remained buried. As fragments of his memories slowly return, Axia begins to uncover a truth connected not only to his own identity, but to the fate of the entire world. Because some forgotten pasts are lost for a reason. And the day Axia remembers who he truly is may become the day everything changes. Author Noted: (Hello everyone, this is the author.

What if the only person who couldn’t remember magic... was the one who wrote it all? In a world where magic is not learned, but remembered from your past life, children undergo the Rite of Remembrance at age 12 to awaken the spells and power they once wielded. The more powerful your past life, the higher your place in the academy — and society. But Ash Veil remembers nothing. No visions. No echoes. No name fragments. He is declared Empty — a failed reincarnation, a disgrace, and is sent to Crownshade Academy only as a joke. The lowest-ranked student in a system that worships inherited memory. Except… Ash isn’t a failure. He’s something worse — or better. > He has no past life because he was never reborn. He is the Original. The forgotten creator of the Codex of All Magic. A soul so powerful the Twelve Archmages shattered and sealed it across time to stop him. Now, as magic collapses under its own repetition, and the “remembered” spells become corrupted, Ash begins creating spells no one has ever seen. Silent spells. Spells without words. Spells that erase other spells. And the world calls it forbidden. Hunted by the memory-bound elite and shadowed by broken ghosts of his past fragments, Ash must master the Empty Spell — a spell that could rewrite the laws of existence. But to do so, he must first survive an academy built to erase him.
