In a distant past, the seven Ancestral Beasts clashed, and the blood they spilled rained onto the entire plane, infecting humans and animals alike, making them part of their powerful bloodlines.

Yet, when Liam’s Ancestral Bloodline awakened, he uncovered a connection between his family’s killers and the Dragon King, a connection that could expand his revenge to the entire Kingdom. -------------------- Discord link: https://discord.gg/mefzf3aQJ8 Instagram: eocnovels X: @EoCNovels Cover artist: https://digitalrowye.com

Energy-Substrate Scaling is a unified theory of complexity. The law states that complex systems rise by discovering energy accounts, flourish by spending them, and fall when the balance diminishes, with the height of their flourish determined by the size of the accessible account. Energy-Substrate Scaling: A Unified Theory of Complexity Core Axiom: The scope, structure, and lifespan of any complex system are dictated by the characteristics of the energy substrate it can access and exploit. This is not merely a theory of resource use. It is a theory of metabolic fate. It posits that the story of any complex structure, from a bacterium to a civilization to a star, is prefigured in the relationship between its hunger for order and the fund of useful energy it can consume.

Beneath a blood-red moon, a lone samurai fights a battle that seems destined to end in tragedy. As his comrades fall and darkness consumes the battlefield, one final clash leaves everything uncertain. But what if the end of one story is only the beginning of another? Far from the horrors of war, a young warrior stands at the beginning of a journey he cannot yet understand. With little more than determination and a world of possibilities before him, he must discover what it truly means to wield a sword—and what it means to protect the people who matter most. In a world shaped by ancient magic, powerful warriors, mysterious creatures, and forgotten secrets, every friendship carries meaning, every choice has consequences, and not every enemy is what they seem. As bonds are forged and dangers emerge, fragments of something unsettling linger at the edges of his understanding. A crimson moon. A battlefield. A darkness that refuses to be forgotten. And somewhere beyond the horizon, a fate waiting to be challenged.

(Will edit after main story conclusion. Specifically from the start.) *** Synopsis: A fifteen-year-old schoolgirl happens to find herself approached by a strange woman after a rough day—who happens to know her plans on running away. Astonished, she tried to interrogate, but ended up getting dragged into another universe and another world. There, she finds out that experiments are being ran on fourteen other candidates set aside for her. Being the last candidate, she is told that she might be the first one to face demise. But she is determined to find out what is up with this facility. Eventually, she comes across an astonishing fact—that this whole world and setting is similar to that of a book she read during her younger days. And the protagonist happened to be her own cousin, who also killed her at the near end of the novel. *** (Prologue) Listen... No one is judging no one here. And so am I. The world has been cruel these days. Being modern means being rude to people on the street who are below your rank—That is what they believe. I find this all frustrating, why move with a state of mind that could as well kill you someday. You don't know if this person is a lawyer, a far relative, a doctor, a politician. But you already get the gist, don't you? And like any other teenagers my age, I really want to run away from all this. It's not like I am an orphan or from a poor household. I am from a family which is a standard class in economical terms in this world. And yet, I want to run away. Haha! Anyways. I did succeed. I wonder at what cost? I am away from all that hostility of course... But now I am in another world. Not reincarnated. Not transmigrated to another body. I am with my own soul in my original body, but in another world. This world... is weird. Thinking back, I remember reading a strange book when I was young. This book actually speaks about this world. I am a character there. Funnier thing, I don't know what is up with it either. It appears to me that the writer decided they want to see the 'live-action' version of it. So now... I am the actor playing my own character.

500 years ago, an unimaginable war broke out between humanity and the Djinn. Mankind stood on the edge of extinction, for the Djinn were far beyond anything humans could understand. They could not be touched. They could not be killed. They could not be stopped. The Djinn were crushing the war with absolute ease. Until some of them chose to stand with humanity. These Djinn, who betrayed their own kind, revealed the greatest secret of their race to mankind: Djinn could be killed. But that knowledge came with a price. In order to fight back, humans had to unite with the very beings they feared. And thus, a forbidden ritual was born: The Djinn Binding Ritual. Through this ritual, humans learned how to bind Djinn to their will and wield their power as their own. And from that moment on… Djinn Hunters were born. Centuries passed. But the war never truly ended. It only changed its form. Now, the Djinn roam the human world after sunset, hunting in the dark and growing stronger with every life they take. And above them all stand the most feared of their kind: The Ten Ifrits — rulers of the Djinn Realm, each powerful enough to bring catastrophe upon the world. And then, one night… The life of a lonely and ordinary boy named Kaito was shattered forever. On what should have been a normal evening, his mother sent him out for a simple errand. But by the time the sun had set… everything had changed. When Kaito returned home, he found an Ifrit slaughtering his family and feasting on their remains. Frozen in terror and standing at death’s door, Kaito was saved at the last moment by a Djinn Hunter. But that night, he lost far more than his family. He lost the life he once knew. Driven by grief and a burning desire for revenge, Kaito follows the path of the hunter who saved him and finds himself within the Djinn Hunters’ Union. There, he meets two others: Ren and Aiko. Together, the three of them set out on a deadly journey against the Djinn, the Ifrits, and the darkness consuming their world. But the truth Kaito is chasing… is far greater than the monster that murdered his family. Because in the deepest shadows of this world, there is something that people only dare to whisper about in fear. A legend. A calamity. And perhaps… the true end of this war

Through the Sky Screen’s broadcast, Kaito summons heroes from other worlds and wields strange tools to twist reality itself. With the system he embraces the art of deception—fabricating half-true, half-false futures that even the wisest cannot ignore. Pirates, Marines, and Celestial Dragons alike are forced to accept these visions, no matter how absurd, as if stripped of every defense. In this false future, Buggy the Clown emerges as a nightmare reborn. After twenty years of secret training, his Devil Fruit awakening is said to hold enough power to shatter the Red Line. Former Shichibukai rally to his banner as sworn brothers, and even the Marine’s legendary hero Garp is proclaimed slain at his hands. Behind the laughter hides a vast conspiracy, one that threatens to upend the balance of the world itself.

Some people are born lucky. Amaya wasn't. Since the day she was born, she was cured with misfortune. Everyone saw her as nothing more than a bad omen. People avoided her like the plague. Bad luck got her mocked. Bad luck got her hurt. And bad luck ruined anything that made her happy. Eyes full of tears, she laid in bed one night. One wish filled her heart. "I wish I would just disappear." And her wish.. It came true. That next morning, she found herself in a new world. A world full of magic and monsters. This was her chance to start a new life. A place where she could live out the medieval fantasy she'd always dreamed about. Oh how wrong she was. It wouldn't take long till she found out just how dark this world truly was.

"Immortality? That can be lonely. And in the end, everyone will die. It doesn’t matter what you do to escape it—sooner or later, all shall taste death. It is already written; it’s only a matter of when and how. But glory… glory is the answer. Glory will outlive flesh and bones. Glory is what we should strive for, not immortality." ~~~~ Robin Burton was a young man who grew up with everything anyone could ever hope for: immense talent in cultivation, a sharp mind, and a wealthy family that would stop at nothing to protect and nurture him. He had everything—except the will to make use of it. "Why should I walk the same path as my ancestors? Why must I seek strength just to defeat one rival or compete with another? That is not what I was born for!" --- “…Heh\~” Robin let out a long sigh. “Pursuing power was never my goal. I left my family and secluded myself to escape those pointless struggles for authority. I wanted to explore the universe, and to explore myself first… yet time and again, I was dragged into devastating wars. I wanted to benefit people with my knowledge and immortalize my name, yet worlds fell and hundreds of billions died because of me. Ironic, hah?”

The Legend of Jack the Colossal Born human in a world of Titans. Destined to become a legend among giants. In an age when the blood of the ancient Greek gods still courses through the veins of towering beings, strength is the law, power is the measure of worth, and weakness is a sin that cannot be forgiven. And then there is Jack. Born with the body of an ordinary human in a world ruled by colossal descendants of the Titans, Jack is an abomination in the eyes of his kind. He possesses neither their towering stature nor their monstrous strength. To the Colossals, he is less than nothing. To his own bloodline, he is a disgrace. Only his mother sees him as something worth loving. But when his own family tears her away from him, Jack loses the last person who ever made him feel he belonged. Stripped of his home, his family, and the only love he has ever known, the nameless boy is left with nothing but a heart full of grief and a world that wishes he had never been born. Until fate casts him into another realm. A world beyond the reach of the ancient Titans. A land where monstrous beasts roam untamed, where the strong carve their names into history, and where even the weakest soul can rise beyond the limits of its birth. For the first time, Jack discovers that his human body is not the curse he once believed it to be. In this strange new world, he finds the strength to survive, the courage to fight, and companions who see him as more than the weakness written into his blood. He earns a name. He finds a purpose. And slowly, the boy whom giants once trampled beneath their feet begins to become something even they might fear. But the past has a long memory. As Jack's legend grows, the world that cast him aside draws ever closer. The wounds of his childhood remain unhealed, and the family that stole everything from him may soon learn what their cruelty has created. Now, caught between the world that broke him and the world that gave him a reason to live, Jack must make a choice. Will he return to the land of the Titans and bring his former family to its knees? Or will he risk everything he has gained to protect the only home that has ever truly accepted him? Some legends are born from the blood of gods. Others are forged by a human heart that refuses to kneel before them.
