In a land where loyalty can be bought, alliances are honorless, and betrayal waits around every corner, Kael must now tread a dangerous journey toward glory.

Chapter: Chapter 30: The Second Gate
Chapter 30: The Second Gate Kael was falling. Again. But this time, the Abyss didn’t feel like a bottomless void swallowing him whole. It felt like a throne waiting for its king. The Second Gate had been unlocked. And the Abyss had accepted him. Malek’s voice echoed beside him. “If we survive this, I’m going to punch you.” Kael smirked. “Try not to break your hand.” Then—impact.Kael landed first, his feet touching solid ground. Malek followed, cursing as he steadied himself. The world around them shifted. They weren’t in the same abyssal void as before. This was different. A vast coliseum stretched around them, formed from dark stone, towering arches reaching into a sky that didn’t exist. The air was heavy—thick with energy. And above them— A door. Not a physical one. Not one carved from wood or stone. A gate of chains. Suspended in the air, pulsating with raw abyssal energy. Kael’s chest tightened. He recognized it. This was the gate from his vis

Chapter: Chapter 29: The Abyssal Trial
Chapter 29: The Abyssal Trial Kael fell.The sensation was unlike anything he had experienced before. The world didn’t blur. It didn’t rush past him. It simply… ceased to exist. There was no air. No gravity. Just an endless descent into darkness. But he wasn’t afraid. Because for the first time— The Abyss wasn’t rejecting him. It was welcoming him. Then— Impact. Kael landed on solid ground, feet planting firmly, body unshaken. The darkness around him shifted, swirling like liquid smoke, stretching endlessly in every direction. He wasn’t alone. Malek landed beside him with a sharp grunt, dusting himself off. “I am really starting to hate falling into eldritch nightmares.” Kael smirked. “Then you’re going to love what comes next.” A sound echoed through the abyss. A low, resonating pulse that didn’t come from any direction—it came from everywhere. Then, hey appeared. The Watchers. Hooded figures materialized from the shadows, standing in a perfect circle

Chapter: Chapter 28: Bound by the Abyss
Chapter 28: Bound by the Abyss The moment Kael’s fingers touched the Abyssal Core, the world broke. A shockwave erupted from the crystal, a silent explosion that didn’t just shake the chamber—it rewrote it. The walls twisted, runes flickering wildly like dying stars. The ground beneath Kael’s feet vanished. Then—darkness. But this wasn’t just the absence of light. This was alive. It wrapped around him, sinking into his skin, filling every inch of him with something raw, untamed, infinite. Power. More than he had ever felt before. More than he could contain. The sigil on his chest blazed, its markings spreading like veins of molten fire across his body. The Abyss wasn’t just answering him anymore. It was consuming him. Kael gritted his teeth, fighting back. He refused to be swallowed whole. But the Abyss laughed. "You do not fight the ocean, child." The voice was neither male nor female, neither loud nor soft. It was simply everywhere. "You drown in it.

Chapter: Chapter 27: The Abyss Calls
Chapter 27: The Abyss Calls The ruins of Vareth were silent once more. Kael stood amidst the remnants of the battle, his breath steady, the power inside him humming like a living thing. The sigil on his chest was no longer just a mark—it pulsed, expanded, as if it had grown. Something had changed. He could feel it in the air, in his own movements. The Abyss no longer felt like an external force pressing against him. It felt like it was part of him. Malek watched him warily. “Alright. We’re alive. You won. Now tell me—what in the hells was that?” Kael flexed his fingers, feeling the energy still coursing through his veins. “Power.” Malek scowled. “Yeah, no kidding. But I meant where did that come from?” Kael didn’t answer immediately. Because the truth was, he didn’t know. Not fully. The sigil had reacted in the fight. It had released something—unlocked something. But instead of overwhelming him like before, it had felt… natural. Like breathing. Kael exhaled.

Chapter: Chapter 26: The Awakening of Power
Chapter 26: The Awakening of Power The land of Vareth shook and trembled underfoot as Kael walked over it.He felt the air crackling-with pure and wild power radiating from the sigil on his breast. It was no longer just an imprint; it was alive. And he controlled it, for the first time.The Forgotten Sentinels—silent, relentless—charged. Their blackened armor shimmered under the blood-red glow of Kael’s energy, their rusted blades cutting through the air with unnatural precision. Kael didn’t move. Not yet. He felt it now. The flow of power beneath his skin, the way the Abyss no longer resisted him. This wasn’t just an ability. This was his birthright. Then— The first sentinel struck. Kael vanished. A blur of motion, faster than thought—he reappeared behind the armored warrior, his dagger carving a deadly arc through the air. The blade sank deep. And this time, the sentinel reacted. A crackling shockwave burst from the wound, shattering the creature’s form.

Chapter: Chapter 25: The City That Remembers
Chapter 25: The City That Remembers The ruins of Vareth were no longer just remnants of the past. They were watching. Kael felt it in the way the air shifted around him, in the faint whispers that came and went like dying embers. The city was stirring—not in some unnatural, abyssal way, but in a way that felt old. Like something long forgotten had just remembered his name. Malek exhaled sharply. “I don’t like this.” Kael smirked. “You don’t like most things.” Malek shot him a look. “Yeah, well, things that whisper in a dead language and call you by name are pretty high on the list.” Kael chuckled, but his focus remained locked on the obelisk at the center of the ruins. **It had recognized him. That much was clear. But why? His fingers brushed the ancient carvings once more. The moment his skin touched the stone— The whispers grew louder. Not chaotic. Not overwhelming. Just one, singular voice. "You are late." Kael’s breath stilled. This wasn’t the Abyss.

The Godhood Algorithm

The Godhood Algorithm

In a world that is defined by power, Lance stands out as the only enigma-nap, with no visible aim and a razor-sharp tongue. This lazy, sharp-tongued orphan, however, hides under the indifferent face a very sharp mind and single terrifying thought: 'Can I become a god?' He transforms that rather weird obsession into an obstinate path for becoming the controller of the very texture of society. Thus, in walking such cunning schemes, he really very well plans the things in a manner that all those who will be caught in the web don't know how they got entrapped. Ranging from the shadowy syndicates to ancient bloodlines vying for supremacy, everyone is just another piece on his board. Evelyn, heiress to a legacy now crumbling, has her own fights. Mysteriously, both parents vanished in relation to a top-secret research project. The thing preventing total destruction of the family's an ancient curse: utter ruin to any that lay a hand upon this bloodline-the protection has already started to fade. In a fateful meet with Lance, Evelyn would acquire an artifact capable of giving unimaginable superhuman powers. But one condition binds their uneasy alliance: equivalent exchange. Such were destined to forge alliances as well as betray and cut secret deals, and in such noise, Lance discovers the buried legacy of his own blod, a legacy that perhaps holds the key to his grand ambition towards godhood. Bloodlines are unveiled, as underground superhuman races come to light, and as secret organizations revealed their own conspiracy towards ascendencion. Lance sacrifices pawns in a larger game that only he can see in every moves. Even gods bleed. Will Lance maneuvers his enemies to rise to the throne of immortality or will his cold calculations be trumped by love, betrayal, and the unraveling secrets of his past?.

Chapter: Chapter 59: Weaving the Web
Chapter 59 – Weaving the Web Lance was shadowing the deserted lanes of the neutral trade zone, and his face revealed nothing. The winding stone pathway lay in the fuzzy glow of a few street lanterns, while in his mind everything was in sharp focus. They thought they had put him to a test: the Ouroboros Syndicate. They believed they had the upper hand. They were wrong. Evelyn matched his stride, her presence silent but charged with unspoken thoughts. Vex and Selena trailed behind, their usual playful banter absent. Elias, ever the observer, kept to the shadows, ensuring they weren’t being followed. When they finally reached the safe house, Lance wasted no time. “Status?” he asked, his voice calm but commanding. Elias stepped forward, adjusting the communication device in his ear. “Everything’s in motion. The moment you walked out of that fortress, the Syndicate’s eyes were glued to you. They’re trying to analyze your next move.” Lance smirked. “Good. Let them try.” Se

Chapter: Chapter 58: A Game of Shadows
Chapter 58 – A Game of Shadows A storm brewed on the horizon—not in the skies, but in the undercurrents of power shifting between forces unseen. Lance sat in a dimly lit chamber beneath the outpost, his fingers drumming lightly against the armrest of his chair. Across from him, Evelyn stood with her arms crossed, her eyes cold but intrigued. Vex and Selena were lounging nearby, their usual air of amusement masking their keen attention. Elias, ever the strategist, leaned against the wall, his arms folded. The game had begun, and now, they were waiting for the first move. And it came sooner than expected. A hooded figure entered the chamber, his movements smooth, unhurried. A trained operative—someone sent by the Ouroboros Syndicate to test their ‘control’ over Lance. The man bowed slightly. “Lady Evelyn. Lord Lance. The Syndicate extends an invitation.” Lance smirked. Here we go. Invitation to the Spider’s Lair Evelyn played her part flawlessly. She narrowed her eyes

Chapter: Chapter 57: The Art of Deception
Chapter 57 – The Art of Deception The night over Lysander’s ruins was still, but the storm was already brewing. Lance stood at the center of the old sanctuary, his hands clasped behind his back, deep in thought. The others had dispersed to prepare for the plan. It would take precision—flawless execution. A single misstep, and they wouldn’t just be hunted. They’d be *eradicated*. But that was what made it thrilling. He smirked to himself. Let’s see who plays into my hands first. Two days later, the plan was in motion. The first step? Making the world believe there was a rift between Lance and Evelyn. Rumors spread fast. Faster when you let them. Word began circulating in the underground networks—Evelyn Delacroix had finally decided to claim her place among the elite once more. And her first act? Bringing Lance under her control. “Think they’ll take the bait?” Kiera asked, walking beside him. They were in the heart of a bustling trade outpost hidden within the mountai

Chapter: Chapter 56: The Beginning of the Power Struggle
Chapter 56 – The Beginning of the Power Struggle Amid an eerie silence stood the ruined city of Lysander, with its ancient buildings now draped in the dim light of the crescent moon. Below the dark ceiling of the sanctuary, the group gathered silently, somberly observing the canvas-like weight the revelation lay there for them upon.The Ouroboros Syndicate was watching. Not just watching—targeting Lance. To most, this would be a reason to retreat. To reconsider their approach. But to Lance? It was an opportunity. Elias sighed, rubbing his temples. “So, let me get this straight. The Warden Council—basically the law enforcers of the supernatural world—are keeping an eye on us. The Ashen Society—powerful elites who think they can control everything—are aware of you. And now, the Ouroboros Syndicate—the people who don’t just acquire power but own it—have taken an interest in you?” Selena chuckled. “Sounds about right.” Evelyn didn’t share in the amusement. Her arms remai

Chapter: Chapter 55: The Calm Before the Storm
Chapter 55 – The Calm Before the StormThe ruins of Lysander stretched in eerie silence as Lance and his group followed Evelyn, Selena, and Vex to a more secure location. Their footsteps echoed faintly against cracked stone, a reminder of the city’s ancient past. Lance observed the others closely. Evelyn moved with measured precision, her sharp gaze scanning their surroundings. Selena, ever the enigma, seemed relaxed—too relaxed. And Vex? His brooding silence spoke volumes. Something was wrong. Lance had learned to read between the lines, to notice the subtle tells that betrayed unease. His mind worked rapidly, piecing together possibilities. They weren’t just here for a reunion. They were here because something had forced their hand. And Lance would find out what. After several minutes, they reached an abandoned structure with remnants of intricate carvings on its walls. The roof had partially collapsed, leaving an open view of the night sky above. Despite its worn stat

Chapter: Chapter 54: Shifting Tides
Chapter 54 – Shifting TidesThe atmosphere inside the ruined city of Lysander had changed. Even though Lucien had vanished, his final words still lingered in the air, like an ominous echo that refused to fade. "Enjoy your victory, Lance. You won’t be celebrating for long."Kiera exhaled, tucking her dagger away. “So, are we just going to ignore that part, or…?” Elias stretched his arms, rolling his shoulders. “Eh. I say we enjoy the win for a few minutes before worrying about the next impending disaster.” Lance remained quiet. His fingers absentmindedly tapped against the artifact hidden beneath his coat. Something was coming. He could feel it in his bones. Lucien’s words hadn’t been a mere bluff. Lance had made too much noise—his name would soon spread through the right circles, attracting attention he wasn’t ready for yet. Or perhaps, he mused, they weren’t ready for me. Still, he needed to prepare. Kiera’s gaze was sharp as she studied him. “You’ve been quiet.”
