AVeiled Origin

Valen Rune's early life in a bustling tier two city– a hub defined by its advanced economy, infrastructure and towering buildings- shattered at the tender age of seven.During the brutal gang conflict, as a rival faction came to claim the city, Valen witnessed the senseless murders of his parents by the gangsters before his very eyes. Too young to be seen as a threat,he was ignored, but the trauma festered, transforming him into a boy consumed by a sense of oppression, loss, and a burning, aimless desire for revenge against the gang that now ruled his home. A month later, Valen, along with countless other displaced residents, was forcibly relocated to a crumbling, lower-tier city. Eight years later, at the age of fifteen, his birthday serves as a stark reminder of his isolation, his parents long gone. His only solace comes from Sen, an older boy who is now like a brother, brought a humble cake to mark the day. Their lives are a constant struggle within the cramped building, sorrounded by trashes everywhere and shattered pathways and the pervasive grit of their new reality. This oppressive existence continues until one fated night. A whispered sound, hauntingly familiar yet distinct, jolts Valen from his sleep: "Valen,Valen!" Compelled, he follows the voice to a nearby park bordering a vast forest.From the deepest shadows, a cloaked man emerges, his form obscured by an unnatural gloom. The figure swiftly seizes Valen, chokes him until his vision blurs and he loses consciousness. As the darkness claims him, he overhears a chilling whisper. " This is the end of the Rune family." Then, a different voice, undeniably familiar, breaks through the fading blackness–Sen's desperate cries: " Valen, Valen! Wake up bro! Valen!" Valen jolts awake, panting and gasping for air, to find Sen hovering over him, concern etched on his face." It's okay, bro. It was just a nightmare," Sen reassures him, but as Valen regains his composure, an undeniable shift registers within him. Something has changed. Later as he attempts to fall back asleep, the haunting dream replays in his mind. "Was it really a dream?" he wondered, unaware that in the darkness, his eyes glow a faintly purple before he finally succumbs to sleep once more.

Clan Building System: I'm not the Protagonist?!

"Sect Master! Marry me!" If only things were that simple. Fang Yuan lets out a long sigh, eyes fixed on the mountain of paperwork threatening to swallow his desk and his soul. As the youngest family head in history, you’d think he’d be enjoying fame, fortune, and fawning admirers. Instead, he’s buried in bureaucracy, stuck mediating elder disputes, and wondering if the sect treasury mysteriously eats spirit stones. Sure, the old geezers have their experience, their beards, and their lofty reputations. But Fang Yuan? He has one thing they don’t: raw, unshakable power. Born into a world where innate talent reigns supreme, Fang Yuan—a transmigrator armed with modern grit—actually managed the impossible: he clawed his way to the top with nothing but relentless hard work. While everyone else coasted on heavenly bloodlines and golden physiques, he trained, he studied, and he schemed. Now, he’s strong enough to bend heaven’s will. But cultivation isn’t all sword beams and glory. Life as a family head comes with its own set of woes—namely, watching his annoyingly handsome junior brother collect all the female attention like some kind of walking romance novel. “This isn’t fair,” Fang Yuan mutters under his breath, stamping another scroll. “I’m the protagonist here... right?” #noNTR #noLemonJustFadeToBlack this novel officially began its journey on 24th of June. Thank you for supporting me so far.

THE CULTIST

For seven years, Jodi has meticulously built a life of quiet anonymity, a fragile fortress against the brutal memories of his past. Once a prodigy within the shadowy Global Cultist Association (GCA)—a powerful organization he joined with his bullied friends, including his cousin Liam, to escape the abandonment of their youth—Jodi ruthlessly severed ties, choosing solitude over the cult's insidious embrace. He believed he had buried that life, along with the terrifying whispers of "The Abandoned One" that haunted its core. But the past is a hungry beast, and it has found his door. Jodi's carefully constructed peace shatters with a desperate, fragmented message from Liam: his cousin is trapped, his GCA initiation violently derailed, threatening his life. Forced back into the dark world he swore to leave behind, Jodi plunges into the GCA's labyrinthine depths. As he fights to save Liam, his dormant, terrifying abilities—powers he barely understands—resurface with devastating force. The cultists, however, are not merely trying to punish Liam; they are actively seeking to harness a profound, ancient power. To Jodi's horror, he discovers that he is the key to their ultimate agenda. The GCA's true obsession isn't just "The Abandoned One" as a mythical entity or philosophical concept; it's the profound, cosmic force that resides within Jodi himself. He is "The Abandoned One," a vessel or manifestation of an ancient, forgotten power, and his very existence is tied to a destiny far grander and more terrifying than he could ever imagine. Now, with Liam's life hanging in the balance and the GCA mobilizing globally to exploit his true nature, Jodi must confront not only the relentless cult but also the overwhelming truth of his own identity. Can he master the volatile power that threatens to consume him? Can he forge his own path, or is he merely a pawn in an ancient prophecy? "The Cultist" is an epic dark fantasy saga exploring themes of abandonment, belonging, free will versus destiny, and the terrifying cost of power, as one man fights to save his family and unravel the cosmic truth of his own existence.
