I Became a Speedster in a Fantasy World [old]

TheArchitekt
Thrown into a world of magic, monsters, and merciless hierarchy, Kaelan was never meant to be a hero—until he broke the rules. Nineteen-year-old Kaelan is just another face in the crowd—quiet, observant, and wholly unremarkable. That is, until he and a dozen others are torn from Earth and thrust into Aethel, a realm in desperate need of champions to stand against the Demon Lord. In the sacred Cathedral of Lumina, the newly summoned are glorified and gifted powerful "Hero Class" Traits—except for Kaelan. While others bask in their S-Rank destinies, Kaelan is handed a cruel joke: the F-Rank Trait Fleeting Steps, a so-called “Minor Agility Boost.” Dismissed by priests, stripped of his freedom, and branded Crown Property, Kaelan is condemned alongside the other F-Ranks to a life of toil and torment. But Kaelan refuses to break. Quietly defiant, he begins testing the limits of his worthless Trait—only to discover it's not so worthless after all. In a daring escape, he uncovers a critical flaw in the world’s magical System: Fleeting Steps has no cooldown. And its effects stack. Endlessly. What begins as a bid for survival spirals into something much more dangerous. With every activation, Kaelan grows faster—faster than thought, faster than light, faster than the gods ever intended. Now on the run in a deadly world, he’s no longer the weakest summoned hero. He's a glitch in the System. A fugitive. And maybe… the world’s last hope.

Her Name Awakens a Slumbering Fate

WARNING: Some mature content!!! 18+ This is what you call Urbantasy.. Fantasy in an urban setting with a strong female lead -- a story riddled in mystery, magic, and a lot of sass. ======= CHAPTER 1 sneak peek! ======= The air between them tightened like a rope. Cael leaned closer, head tilting slightly, pulling at her waist again, smugness softened into something sharper and quieter. His eyes flicked to her lips then back to her eyes as if asking for permission he didn't need. Hunger of a different kind pumped through Cael. The hunger that Galathea unmistakably recognized as it pressed hard against her lower abs, forcing through the fabric as if it can tear through. At the sensation, Galathea's mouth parted before she could stop it. Her whole body screamed at her to either shove him away or close the last inch between their lips herself. ===== SYNOPSIS ===== Galathea Brooks spent her life surviving quietly -- counting inventory, enforcing rules, keeping her head down inside one of the most powerful art institutions in the city. It's a simple life because paint doesn't talk; power doesn't notice people like her. and names are just names. -- That is... until a painting remembered her. When ancient works buried beneath Artemis Art Gallery began to respond to Galathea's presence, she becomes the center of the system that's older than the building itself. A system that cataloged her long before she knew it existed. Her name is not a coincidence. It is a KEY. Cael Alexander, on the other hand, has always understood control. As Artemis' immaculate but dangerous CEO, he manages secrets like no other. He knows the gallery and its bowels more than anyone. He knows what's hidden; he knows what's awaken. What he didn't expect, however, was Galathea. As archaic works of art start to stir, boundaries fracture -- between observer and artifact, power and possession, restraint and desire. Every choice Galathea makes draws her deeper into fate that doesn't want permission... only acknowledgement. Mind you, awakenings don't ask when you're ready.
