The Mechanical Deity

[OVERCLOCK]!! Life as a low class slumdog was all that Adelaide had. With his days spent scavenging in the toxic waste zone, and the nights spent sleeping under the creaking towers of high-tech junk. His life changed on the day he found a strange, lifeless crystal buried beneath piles of junk. The crystal was anything but ordinary. One pulse of energy and Adelaide’s world shattered—literally. When he woke up, he saw that he was in a completely different body, in a completely new world, with memories that weren’t his. Now going by Rion Hale, a sixteen-year-old human with a hidden potential, Adelaide finds himself in a world where the rules are not quite what he was used to. Instead of the supremacy of technology, the world was teeming with Cultivators who wielded supernatural powers through a force called Origin Energy. But all hope is not lost. Armed with the knowledge he brought with him, he uses his Resonance ability, an uncommon Adept power that allows him to harmonize with machines, amplifying their capabilities far beyond their design limits, to become what would eventually be known as the Deity of Machinery. Armed with ingenuity, inherited memories, and a supernatural gift tied to technology, Rion walks a fine line between two identities and two worlds. But as forces from his new world begin to take interest in him, one thing becomes clear. He didn’t just cross into a new world. He might be the one to change it forever.

A Fantasy's Alternative

Lynn finds himself relentlessly opposed by a group of chosen ones—heroes of destiny tasked with saving the world. Despite his many efforts to avoid them, fate keeps pushing him into conflict with these seemingly invincible figures. Desperate to find a way out, Lynn partners with a mysterious individual who gifts him a powerful system, one that offers unimaginable strength and potential. But even with these newfound abilities, Lynn repeatedly faces defeat at the hands of the chosen ones. No matter how many times he tries, the cycle continues, and Lynn begins to question if his fate is truly his own, or if he's simply a pawn in a game beyond his control. As the battles grow more intense and the stakes higher, Lynn must confront a harsh truth: some battles are never meant to be won. Lynn is ultimately defeated in his first confrontation, losing his life in the process. Refusing to accept defeat, Lynn reincarnates, determined to change the outcome. This time, armed with his knowledge and the system, he plans to outwit the chosen ones and alter the course of his fate. However, his actions, though calculated, lead him down an unforeseen path, and his manipulation of events ultimately backfires. In a tragic twist, Lynn is betrayed by his own decisions, leading to an unfair and untimely death at the hands of those he once sought to protect. After dying for the second time, Lynn is overwhelmed with doubt. His system, his strategies, and even his past lives have proven insufficient against the chosen ones—heroes of prophecy that seem invincible. As his world crumbles around him, Lynn is forced to confront a harsh truth: his strength, no matter how much it grows, will never be enough to defeat them. In the final moments as everything fades to black, in a desperate flash of clarity, a daring thought crosses his mind: If I can't defeat them... I will bring someone who can. —If this world is so determined to control my fate, then I’ll bring someone who is beyond its reach. Someone who cannot be dictated by its rules. Someone even the Book of Fate cannot anticipate. Someone who could correct his mistakes, fix what had gone wrong in his life, and perhaps even achieve the unthinkable—things that Lynn himself had always dreamed of but never dared attempt. .... i am writing this novel for fun , nothing else. just my personal wish to create something different from typical cliche standards. it may end up becoming good or bad.
