In a world where Ascendants cultivated Aether to evolve beyond ordinary mortals, those born without special bloodlines, inherited talents, or powerful family legacies rarely amounted to anything significant. However, that was precisely why historians studied the life of Riven Veyr, with such obsession, because despite being born within a desolate northern tribe that barely understood Ascension itself, Riven eventually became the man who broke the world. Some believed his greatest advantage was the simple fact that he was insane. Others claimed it was his monstrous willingness to grow stronger regardless of cost, consequence, or morality that separated him from everyone else. Whatever the truth may have been, one thing remained undeniable. Riven Veyr’s existence changed civilization forever. To the downtrodden, he became a symbol of hope. A living proof that even someone born with nothing could one day rise high enough to shake the status quo. While to the elite, he became a dangerous name that needed to be erased from history before his story inspired others to walk the same bloody path. However, while some came to worship him as a hero and others cursed his name as a monster, to the common man, he simply became the terrifying legend known as The Laughing Calamity. --------- Disclaimer: This is a dark fantasy novel that explores disturbing and morally complex themes, including slavery, war, genocide, graphic violence, psychological trauma, and the darker aspects of human nature.

Cursed by fate. Bound by madness. And yet… even eternity cannot sever their love. Ravian never believed in destiny until he was dragged into a nightmarish realm where reality twists, timelines shatter, and love itself becomes a weapon. In every life, he dies for her. In every world, she forgets him. But when the cursed realm collapses and they awaken in a new world, their souls refuse to rest. A forgotten kiss rekindles forbidden memories, pulling them back into a battle against the sinister Archivist—a being who controls every past, present, and future version of their love.

After rage-quitting an old fantasy RPG years ago, a former player wakes up inside the very game he abandoned—stuck at level one, armed with a bad build, and with no option to reload. He knows the story. He knows the characters. What he doesn’t know is how much the world will punish him for doing things his way. With partial knowledge, unreliable instincts, and a growing awareness that the rules don’t care about intent, he’s forced to navigate a familiar story from an unfamiliar angle—making alliances he shouldn’t, avoiding dangers he remembers too late, and learning that surviving isn’t the same as winning. A comedic, system-aware fantasy about bad decisions, old games, and finding a path forward when the tutorial is long gone. ~Chapters to be added on Mondays, Wednesdays, & Fridays~

Just as the world begins to collapse, demons emerge-turning chaos into complete destruction. Dharma is just another survivor.... or at least, he should have been.

As he struggles through a broken world of death, instinct and shifting morality, Dharma begins to notice something unsettling: he's changing faster than he should. And he doesn't know if that's a gift -- or the beginning of the end. In this world survival isn't free. You either evolve... or you disappear.
