Bloodborne Paradox

IronicChon
The world did not end with a meteor or disease—it ended with evolution. One day, humanity was gifted. Some could tear open the sky, others could twist the fabric of existence itself. But instead of a golden age, these newfound abilities plunged the world into anarchy. Nations crumbled, cities fell, and civilization shattered under the weight of its own power. From the ruins, a new order emerged. The Global Administration took control, declaring that only the strong would rule. Those who refused to submit—the Outcasters—were driven into the husks of old cities, lawless wastelands filled with rebels, exiles, and monsters of their own making. And from this chaos, a new event was born: The Dominion. A brutal tournament held every four years, where only the strongest Gifted could compete. To win, one must fight their way through an Outcaster-infested city, battling both the damned and their own ruthless competitors. Victory grants not just glory, but a chance to challenge the reigning World Administrator for ultimate control. Kazuki Enshō, however, is no contender. In a world where others summon storms and bend time itself, Kazuki’s power is laughable—weak, insignificant, useless. Forced to scavenge and survive on cunning alone, he is nothing more than a ghost in the ruins, a nameless survivor. But Kazuki refuses to be forgotten. He refuses to let fate dictate his end. Because within him lies something darker, something far more dangerous than the gifts that shattered the world. And when it awakens… The apocalypse will learn fear. ---Author's first novel release 1-2 chapters daily (depends on the author's mood)

Lord of the Mysteries Pathways

Lord of the Mysteries is a Chinese web novel by Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, blending steampunk, Lovecraftian horror, and xianxia elements in a Victorian-inspired world. The story follows Klein Moretti, a modern-day man reincarnated into a supernatural society, who assumes the identity of “The Fool” to navigate conspiracies involving ancient gods and secret organizations.  A central aspect of the novel is its intricate power system based on Pathways. These are sequences of potion formulas that grant supernatural abilities, allowing individuals to become “Beyonders.” Each Pathway consists of ten Sequences, ranging from Sequence 9 (the lowest) to Sequence 0 (the highest), with each advancement granting more potent powers. There are 22 standard Pathways, each associated with unique abilities and often linked to specific deities or organizations.   The novel delves deep into the mechanics of these Pathways, exploring the rituals, dangers, and psychological impacts of advancing through them. It also examines the societal structures and secret organizations built around these Pathways, adding layers of political intrigue and philosophical depth to the narrative. For readers interested in a richly woven tale that combines mystery, supernatural elements, and a meticulously crafted power system, Lord of the Mysteries offers a compelling journey through a world where the boundaries between reality and the arcane are constantly blurred.

A Path To Omniscience

Asher Frostvale was the sole child of the Frostvale Family. Raised in Atlas, he was groomed since birth to become the ideal heir of Frostvale Enterprises. Accustomed to a life of luxury and mingling with high society, everything seemed to be on track for him; his future was neatly mapped out before he was even conceived. That was, at least, until his tenth birthday. On that day, by some twist of fate and the whims of a strange cosmic being, Asher experienced something that would plunge him into a nearly four-year coma. During that time, he witnessed something horrific: a catastrophic event from the distant future that promised to plunge absolutely everything he knew into chaos. After spending what felt like an eternity witnessing the slow collapse of the world, Asher awoke a changed person, different from the boy he once was. Even after being reunited with friends and family, his mind was fixated on one thing, and one thing alone, and that was to prepare both himself and his world to confront the looming threat by any means necessary. Fortunately, his personality wasn't the only thing altered during his coma. His mind had become connected to a peculiar alternate space that could not only function as a mobile workshop but also allow him to assimilate any form of substantial knowledge and then surpass it. Through this power, he would go on to achieve technological advancements never seen before and create machines, devices, and gadgets that seemed completely impossible. However, all things come with a price, and Asher's was one that would paint him as the most bloodthirsty conqueror in history. Release Schedule: Monday, Wednesday & Friday. (Around 7:11 PM Eastern Standard Time) - Although it is obviously non-canon, this story shares stuff such as terms, concepts, and entities, with my novel "When Fantasy Glitches".
