thinnest of threads

[Assessment Complete. Activating Mutagen, Please Standby….] A normal day is suddenly turned on its head when a single voice utters those fateful words into the minds of every single soul on the planet. It was after those words that every single man, woman and child was granted the opportunity to gain fantastical abilities in the name of evolution. Not even the plants or animals were spared by the words of this mysterious voice. Yet not everyone got what they hoped for. Some developed no powers at all, their bodies not yet ready for the process. Others, were simply too frail to handle it. Mutating into horrific creatures, nightmares made real. Seth Quinn, a slightly below average IT worker, developed a unique ability. The Puppeteers Threads. The ability to turn inanimate objects into his obedient puppets. Will he and those he loves survive in this hellish new world? Will his new ability lead him to a life of greatness he always dreamed of? Could he become a Master of Puppets? ----------------------------------------------------- A book about an apocalyptic world and the powers that have risen within. Following the unique blend of necromantic and Summoning abilities, with a twist that offers many more opportunities. Admittedly, it has a slightly slow start, especially in the first 5 chapters. It's something I regret now, but can't change. I can only try to improve, so I hope you stick through it and get to the good meat that starts around chapter 5 at least. General warning for graphic descriptions of death and injury. There will be bloodshed, not gonna be sunshine and rainbows. Other warnings for other issues, such as self harm or implications of sexual assault Will be provided at the start of the chapters, but even then they are just implied. Nothing explicit.

Rain-slick alleys. Neon reflections bouncing off puddles like broken promises. The city never sleeps not because it wants to, but because it doesn’t dare. Most people walk these streets on autopilot. Not me. For me, every corner hums with life, every shadow whispers something I probably shouldn’t hear. Misfortune seems to follow me, like a loyal dog with terrible timing. It started with a disappearance. A man, a shadow, gone before I could blink. And then… someone was watching. Always watching. Curiosity tugged at me like a leash I couldn’t escape. What seemed like a coincidence twisted into something darker, something stitched into the veins of this city. The deeper I followed, the more tangled it all became. Lies. Secrets. Shadows that move when you’re not looking. Every step forward made survival a gamble: know when to pull, know when to cut loose. This is a city that punishes the curious. And I… I was far too curious.

New trope (please try it, rewritten on 24.01.2024): Micheal von Shelb, a lazy genius with a penchant for offbeat inventions, wakes up to a brutal truth: he’s a side character in a multiverse of twisted romantic dramas where his family, future children, and even his legacy are casually erased by power-hungry authors. With Magda, his intelligent and no-nonsense wife (who’s also a supporting character in a “switched at birth” melodrama), Micheal vows to save their lives, protect their future, and rebuild the Empire through innovation and sheer audacity. Whether he's dodging political plots, perfecting horseless carriages, or making alliances with beastmen, Micheal has one goal: to carve a space where he and Magda can thrive, far from the claws of a cruel narrative. But the fate has other plans. As ancient rivalries between archmages, devils, and mythical creatures like mermaids resurface, Micheal’s quiet dream spirals into chaos. With wit sharper than a rapier and an unstoppable resolve, Micheal proves that even a side character can rewrite the script. Between inventing futuristic solutions and saving the day, Micheal’s true mission is impressing Magda, who may or may not be secretly stalking him from the foyer. Meanwhile, Micheal himself adjusts his routine to catch glimpses of Magda while pretending not to care. An average day in their life: 1:00 PM: Magda: “I must be punctual to observe my husband training in the garden—from my foyer, of course.” 1:15 PM: Micheal: “Must finish the training early to sneak a peek at my wife reading in her study—from the dining hall window. Definitely not creepy.” With its blend of humor, heartfelt romance, and action-packed multiverse chaos, TCG is a read for those who enjoy clever protagonists, daring inventions, and a relationship that's equal parts banter and devotion—NO HAREM, just one unforgettable wife. The first volume is for the general audience, the second volume is for people who prefer to sip wine as they read. You can start reading from the second volume if you find the first volume too boring. ----- There are three couples: ML (genius, stalker) x FL (prodigy, stalker) 2ML (soldier) x 2FL (knight) 3ML (soldier) x 3FL (a court lady)

In a world where power is not taken, but woven, supremacy belongs to those who can pull the right threads—of fate, will, and blood. Aerthos is governed by invisible laws: magic bound by conceptual weight, authority shaped by belief, and strength measured not just in force, but in what reality is willing to tolerate. Kings fall not to swords, but to decisions made too late. Gods watch, but do not intervene—unless the balance demands it. At the center of this world stands Aren Locke, a gifted yet dangerously detached young man who believes one thing above all: If he does not choose, someone worse will. Thrown into a brutal system that forges leaders, soldiers, and rulers under the guise of order, Aren is forced to confront a truth few are willing to face—power does not corrupt; it reveals. Each step forward tightens unseen threads around him, binding him to outcomes he cannot escape. As factions collide, ancient forces stir, and morality erodes under pressure, Aren must decide what kind of supremacy he is willing to claim: • Rule through control • Rule through sacrifice • Or rule by becoming something the world cannot justify killing With allies who may one day become enemies, and enemies who speak uncomfortable truths, Aren’s ascent reshapes not only his fate—but the structure of Aerthos itself. Because in the end, supremacy is not about standing above others. It is about deciding who is allowed to fall. "Power is not seized. It is permitted."
