The System arrived without warning, on one of many lonely days Earth spent floating along the milky way. Then in a blinding flash, the world and its inhabitance were judged. Tom Murphy never asked to for his path, a fate that's discovered him. Thrown into a global qualification tournament broadcast across a seemingly infinite multiverse, he claws his way into Earth’s top ten finalists, only to be claimed by one of the most feared deities in existence. But being Chosen is not salvation. It is an unrepayable debt that grows with you. It is ownership. Returned to a fractured Earth being actively terraformed under System-imposed Tutorial conditions, Tom and his allies must build a faction from nothing but their own ambition, while monsters, rival elites, and divine politics close in from all sides. And when death becomes salvation, something else begins to surface. The multiverse is always watching. The gods are wagering, scheming, even meddling. And Tom is starting to remember things he was never meant to. If the System wants a new champion… It may yet again regret who it chose. Schedule: 1 Chapter Monday/Wednesday/Friday Author Note: This is a Progression LitRPG, and my very first novel.

A novel where the protagonist is an absolute pushover, yet every women he meets seems to fall in love with him. He wins by sheer luck despite being strong himself, yet he spares those he defeated just for them to come back stronger than before. Arrogant nobles that are jealous of his strength and harem are everywhere, yet he humiliates them without suffering any political backlash. And I, Theodore Gray, lived in a world precisely based on such a novel as a mere extra that wasn't even mentioned once. Although I had no intention to interfere with the plotline since it would only mean suffering for me, I was already too entangled in it to back out now. === WARNING: I cannot stress this enough. If you don't like confusing stuff and MC killing innocents (adults and/or children) (not senselessly of course), then this novel is clearly not for you. This is my first time writing a novel so I'm just mainly doing it for fun. This novel is lightly inspired by 'The author's POV' and 'The novel's extra'. Discord: https://discord.gg/czvCjHuhKs

"I feel like you will ruin me one day, Angelica." His voice was hoarse. His forehead came to rest against mine. "But why do I want to be ruined so badly?" He breathed. ~~ He was lightning and thunder, frightening, but so magnificent. I was a hurricane, lost and in search of purpose. When we met it was like a collision of two catastrophes. But who knew chaos could be so beautiful, so addicting. And for a moment, he made me forget the destruction that is inevitable when two storms collide.

Twenty-six-year-old Seren Adaeze maps things that don't exist. Not metaphorically. Literally. Since childhood she has been able to see and draw places that haven't been discovered yet rooms inside sealed buildings, corridors beneath the ocean, islands that appear on no chart but hers. She has never told anyone. She takes the visions, renders them in extraordinary detail, sells them as "abstract art," and calls it a living. Then one of her paintings sells at auction for two million euros to a buyer who remains anonymous. Then another. Then another. Then the buyer shows up in person. Lucian Veyne is thirty-five, the reclusive chairman of Veyne Industries a global empire built on deep-sea technology, rare earth mining, and an unnerving pattern of knowing exactly where to dig. He is coldly beautiful, unsettlingly quiet, and looking at Seren like she is a problem he has spent ten years trying to solve. "You painted my island," he tells her. "A place no living person has ever seen. I need to know how." Seren doesn't have an answer. But she has a feeling deep and electric and dangerous that Lucian Veyne isn't entirely surprised by what she can do. That he's been searching for someone exactly like her. And that the island she painted, the one that supposedly doesn't exist, has something inside it that both of them were always meant to find. What follows is a mystery that goes deeper than either of them planned a centuries-old enchantment, a family curse that has hollowed out every Veyne heir before Lucian reached forty, a map that can only be completed by two people together, and a love story that was written into the architecture of the world long before they were born. The magic is real. The danger is real. And Lucian Veyne, for all his billions and his silence and his careful untouchable control, is falling in love with the woman who sees what no one else can which is the most terrifying thing that has ever happened to him.

Aurelie spun around. Two familiar hazel eyes stared back. A lock of black hair fell in his eyes. “What are you doing in here?” Tobin Moray demanded. “I’m riding a horse in the show,” Aurelie snapped back. “What are you doing here?

Between Storms and Rainbows is a collection of proses that tackles love, life, healing, existence, and depression. A middle ground of hope and despair, a rollercoaster of emotions that will take you to places of a soul no one has ever reached. A book anyone can relate to because we all have storms inside us; the most beautiful disasters. And at one point in time, we all believed that after the destruction, there comes someone who would pick us up but, it isn't always the case because sometimes, we're left with no choice but to either stay broken or start to fix ourselves. Each chapter is a journey between calamity and calm, dancing on the fine line that separates asymptotes and happy endings. Half a tragedy and half a blessing.
