Kikidori: The Archivist of Forgotten Realms

OK_books
Some books are written. Some books are forgotten. And one… was never meant to exist. Kikidori was an ordinary boy living an unremarkable life—until the day he wandered into a bookstore no one remembered and touched the book with no name. From that moment, his world was erased. Stripped of his past and thrown into a realm where memory has weight, stories breathe, and unwritten worlds wait to be born, Kikidori awakens in the Archive of Eternity—an endless reality that records what might have been. Now branded as an Archivist Candidate, he is tasked with recording realities that no longer exist, exploring worlds that were deleted by fate, silence, or war. But the book he carries is unlike any other. It doesn’t record. It creates. As realms unravel and forgotten gods stir, Kikidori must walk the line between scribe and savior—where every choice he writes becomes a reality, and every page turned may be the last. But power like this never comes without cost. And when stories begin to write themselves, Kikidori will have to decide: Is he the author of fate... or just another chapter waiting to be erased?

Crown of Thorns and Roses.

Those who fail him, they claim, are consumed by his gardens. They are unaware, though, that I have been talking to plants my whole life—and now the fate of the kingdom hinges on their response. I wanted no attention at all. Enough risk is involved growing illegal miraculous blossoms in my small rural garden. However, I find the reason the king's gardens are withering and why all five gardeners before me have vanished when royal guards transport me to the palace. The gardens provide more than only aesthetic purposes. They're the kingdom's last defense. Constant observation by Crown Prince Thorne, his silver eyes frigid as the winter gradually kills his territory. The court mumbles he killed the past gardeners for failing, but I detect despair in his eyes. Each day I coax life from the wilting magical plants, I feel the protective wards strengthening. Each night, I sense the shadowy creatures straining our bounds, getting stronger, hungrier. Should I fail, I should detest the haughty prince threatening punishment. Instead, I find myself pulled to the man beneath the thorny crown—a monarch willing to become the villain in whispered legends if it means saving his people. As my power develops with odd new blossoms no one has seen before, so does the threat. The prince's foes conspire within the royal walls, the magical barriers decrease with each passing day, and my heart treacherously softens toward the man who cannot afford to love me back. They believe his gardens eat those who disappoint him. What they don't know is what happens when a wild magic like mine begins to overwhelm me.
