Title: The Echo of the Abyss The World: Aethelgard is a world of cascading stone "Shelves" suspended over the Void Sea, a bottomless expanse of white mist that erases physical reality. For millennia, the world has been slowly sinking. The Higher Shelves are lush, sun-drenched kingdoms of the elite; the Lower Rims are frozen, decaying slums where the sun is a memory and the mist is a constant predator. Power is governed by Resonance—the ability to vibrate one's soul at the frequency of the universe to manifest physical miracles. The Protagonist: Kaelen is a "Null," a social pariah born without a frequency. He survives as a "Dredger," scavenging artifacts from the crumbling edges of the world. During a catastrophic Shelf-collapse, Kaelen is submerged in the Void and survives—but he returns changed. He is no longer a Null, but an Echo. The Conflict: Kaelen’s "Echo" ability is a parasitic miracle: he cannot generate his own Resonance, but he can "mirror" and permanently steal the powers, memories, and skills of those who die in his presence. However, every stolen Echo carries a Resonance Debt. To use the power of a dead swordsman, Kaelen must endure the swordsman’s final agony; to use a mage’s fire, he must sacrifice his own ability to feel warmth. The Journey: The story follows Kaelen’s slow, agonizing ascent from the gutter to the peaks of the High Shelves. The Survival (Chapters 1–100): Kaelen must navigate the brutal "Rim-Wars," hiding his taboo nature while hunting monsters to piece together a functional power set. The Intrigue (Chapters 101–200): He infiltrates the Obsidian Academy, posing as a high-born prodigy. Here, the "slow burn" intensifies as he manages complex alliances, a growing web of lies, and the haunting voices of the ghosts inside his mind. The Revelation (Chapters 201–300): Kaelen discovers that the Void Sea is not an abyss, but a graveyard of former "Echoes" who failed. He must decide if he will save the world by becoming its new god or let it sink into the silence he now embodies. The Promise: A relentless progression fantasy where every victory is paid for in blood and identity. Kaelen will become the most versatile warrior in existence, but the "slow burn" lies in the question: once he reaches the top, how much of "Kaelen" will be left to wear the crown?

Aldous Milgram, professeur d’histoire à l’Académie de Veridiance, veut montrer à ses élèves comment naissent les dictatures. En cinq semaines, il crée un mouvement expérimental : des badges d’argent, des règles strictes, un salut unique le salut de l’Aile. Simple jeu pédagogique au départ. Mais très vite, le jeu échappe à son créateur. Erich Arendt, disciple zélé, transforme la « Troisième Vague » en une communauté fanatique. Simone Weil, jeune femme sceptique, tente d’alerter sans être écoutée. Et Elie Wiesel, élève silencieux, en devient la première victime. Huit ans plus tard, Milgram est jugé par la Haute Cour impériale. Devant les juges, les nobles et tout l’Empire retransmis par cristaux magiques, il raconte, jour après jour, comment une expérience de classe a failli embraser Alderande. Les Badges d’Argent Livre I est la première partie d’un diptyque. Ce récit est le prélude à La Main d’Alderande, où l’empereur Julian Huxley imposera les principes de la Vague à tout l’Empire.

I just wanted a badge

I enrolled in the police academy to fulfill my late father's wish—to become an outstanding officer, just like him. But because I'm small and female, I've been targeted for bullying since day one. Tripped during training, sabotaged during exams, my locker stuffed with garbage. I bite my tongue and endure. I just want to graduate, to wear that badge. Until a field training mission. My "teammates" deliberately abandon me deep in the mountains. Ambushed and bleeding out, I collapse in the rain. I think I'll die here, just like my father—alone, in some unknown place. I wake up on a couch in a warehouse, my wounds already treated. The man before me wears a black leather jacket, his knuckles scarred, his gaze sharp as a blade. Behind him, a row of heavy motorcycles. On the wall, a skull emblem— **The Night Owls.** The most notorious biker gang in the city. And he—Lei Xiao—is their leader. "Little cop. You owe me your life." His voice is low and rough. We should be cat and mouse. But fate keeps throwing us together. I'm investigating the truth behind my father's death, and every clue leads back to his gang. He's hunting a mole within his ranks, and keeps saving me from danger at the edge of a knife. We meet in the dark, face off under neon lights, fight back-to-back amid gunfire. Badge and leather. Justice and the underground. Two worlds that should never collide. But his gaze burns hotter every time we meet. My heart races faster every time he's near. Is the line between good and evil really so clear? What does he have to do with my father's death? And how am I supposed to feel about the "bad guy" who's saved me again and again?

Buenos Aires does not sit on stone. It sits on Him. And today, the foundation is giving way. The famous Obelisk in the center of the capital is not a monument. It is the giant needle of a syringe, inserted into the nerve cluster of a planetary organism sleeping deep underground. The city is merely a plug holding back an Ancient God. But the anesthesia has worn off. In the depths of the city, the Substrate awakens—a sentient matter for which concrete and flesh are mere building materials. Gravity is reversing its polarity. While the world collapses, ruthless mega-corporations see an opportunity. The Consortium and "Sigma" wage a brutal war to monopolize this infinite raw energy. High-tech orbital assets, advanced biomechanical prototypes, and deep-core drilling machines clash over the bleeding earth. When the Obelisk begins its final countdown, humanity will have only one way out... Learn how to fall upward.

Based on the Roblox game PWNED: Aeternae Memori, the entire story so far within the game. I tried to stay as accurate as possible using in-game information and the wiki, as well as adding more non-canon extra storytelling. Discord and the game will be linked to each chapter.

Sophie Wexler transmigrated into a novel about The Galaxy, becoming the vicious, F-rank Healer-class cannon fodder. The original owner constantly caused trouble and made things difficult for the female lead, earning her the hatred of the entire internet. Upon transmigrating and seeing that everything had been ruined by the original owner, Sophie's only thought was: "What kind of nightmare start is this?!" To escape the original owner's fate, Sophie Wexler worked diligently, conducted herself conscientiously, stayed away from the male and female leads, compensated the soldiers harmed by the original owner, and strove to be a model citizen of The Galaxy, absolutely refusing to be the cannon fodder 'offed' by the Imperial Marshal! Broke and powerless, Sophie also had to support a man who'd been innocently dragged into the original owner's mess. She had no choice but to hustle. She started live streaming, became a masked singer, and held concerts. At first, netizens were scornful: 【Tsk, how good can she possibly sound?】 Later, the netizens were forced to eat their words. 【Damn, that's so good I'm on my knees!】 【What the hell, the violent episode of my Disorder Period has actually been soothed?!】 【The toxins in my Spiritual Sea have actually been eliminated!】 Her live streams went viral, the masked singer became a huge sensation, and tickets for her concerts were snapped up across The Galaxy. Sophie was content, thinking, "This time, I must have finally escaped the original owner's fate, right?" But what do you know, the man I've been doting on and supporting is actually the Imperial Marshal?! --- One day, Yancey Forrest came home to find that the boisterous person who was always claiming to be good to him was gone. His eyes darkened. Provoke me and then think you can leave? After catching her, Yancey traced his fingertips along Sophie's neck, smiling gently. "Why run?" Sophie trembled. "You... you're the Imperial Marshal?" His identity exposed, Yancey Forrest took her hand and slowly placed it on his own neck ring. "You know I won't kill you, don't you?"
