Yet, the abyss grants him a second chance—a reincarnation into a cursed body with immense untapped potential. Stripped of his former power and navigating a fragmented memory, Kael must reclaim his throne, uncover the truth behind his betrayal, and face a sinister force manipulating events from the shadows. 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. Armed with knowledge from his past and a accursed power that is also threatening his very being, can he rise again to become an even greater ruler than before?

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 50: The Silent Pursuers
Chapter 50: The Silent PursuersThe trio of Lance, Kiera, and Elias had stepped out of the devastated temple. Silence fell eerie around its tall, dark structure behind them, bathed by fresh cool night air coming like waves. The map that Lance held was heavier than it should be, perhaps not so much in weight, but what it was carrying-power, secrets, and the beginning of a new game that he had set in motion and had every intention of winning. Kiera looked back over her shoulder to see because her sharp eyes could scan the darkness. "He let us go too easily," she muttered, clutching her daggers tightly. "I just don't like it." Still selling up his breath from their scurrying, Elias let out an ironic dry laugh. "Yeah, really a bucket of joy to run for our lives." Lance's expression remained cloistered. His mind was already raci

Chapter: Chapter 49: The Trial of Shadows
Lance, Kiera, and Elias stood together on the edge of the crumbling ruins of Lysander, the silence stretched around them in a thick oppressive shroud-the kind against which it felt hopeless even to fight. The first trial had been rough, but they went through it. There was no sense of triumph, however, only the biting knowledge that things would get murkier. Kiera swiped perspiration from her brow, her ever-watchful microlenses scanning the surroundings with a wary precision. ”So, what goes next, Lance? You have that look again.” Lance grinned with that captured gaze piercing ahead. "The trial isn't over yet." He turned to look at the huge, dilapidated temple that loomed farthest away. "That's where the real trial begins." Elias, still recovering from their previous exercise, sighed. "Great. And here I thought we already

Chapter: Chapter 48: Shadows of the Nexus
Chapter 48: Shadows of the Nexus Their silence was shattered by the sounds from the Whispering Woods, at which the man-made city of Lysandar seemed to fade into the background, a notion lost in dreams. Compressed among his fingers was an old map as Elias hung his head, having been cast into a rare mood that sharpened the eye with dread. Tension ran within Kiera as she fiddled nervously by her bowstring, while Lance remained steadfastly, unblinking, forward. “We have what we came for,” Lance said, voice calm but firm. “Let’s move.” Elias released the breath he had held and shook his head. “You seem to forget how difficult this is. This map is not a mere guide, it's a warning. The nexus... it's sealed for a reason.” Lance’s eyes narrowed. “Then we’ll find out why.” Kiera sighed. “Of course we will. Because running towar

Chapter: Chapter 47: Echoes of the Forgotten Past
Chapter 47: Echoes of the Forgotten Past The pathway through Whispering Woods was long and eerie-in silence. It was rustling leaves above and the calls of distant creatures unseen below. Lance has taken the lead with his well-placed steps, senses in high alert, when glancing back every now and then added uneasiness to Kiera's footsteps. Elias seemed to fit into the whole picture, gracefully wandering around the twisting paths with an almost unnatural ease. "I don't like this," Kiera muttered to herself. "It simply doesn't feel right, too quiet for even a cursed forest." Lance gave a nod, agreeing, for he could feel her weighty words; in the air, there was that unnatural something, that pressed the deeper they went. His hand tightened around the hilt of his sword, with instincts yelling for him to be prepared. A sudden wind s

Chapter: Chapter 46: The Veil of Secrets
Chapter 46: The Veil of Secrets The flames from the campfire crackled and toppled in silence because the night seemed dark and quiet, while many dense trees stood watch over their temporary place of refuge. Lance sat cross-legged in front of the fire, staring wide-eyed at dancing bunches of flame. But the tongue is still busy in spite of the peace within. Above all, the faint light from the Heart of Ether hid beneath his cloak in a pouch, reminding him of what they carried with them and of the danger it posed. Kiera leaned back against the tree trunk and registered an expression that waffled between exhaustion and intrigue. "So what's next on the agenda, O Fearless Leader? Do we run until we drop from exhaustion or do you have a real plan?" Lance heaved a great sigh. "We might charge headlong, but we can't

Chapter: Chapter 45: Ripples of Power
Chapter 45: Ripples of Power The heart of Ether lay in Lance's hand, he could feel the unadulterated energy pulse singing in rhythm with his heartbeat, each pulse-throbbing beat brought warmth surging through his veins, invigorating him and sharpening his senses. It was exhilarating, yet overwhelming, as if the artifact was assessing whether he was worthy of wielding it. Kiera stepped closer, her expression a mix of awe and wariness. “You’re glowing.” Lance blinked, looking down at himself. A faint shimmer surrounded him, a soft, ethereal light that seemed to ebb and flow like a living thing. Coming mostly from a drawl, he muttered, "I guess it comes with special effects." “Special effects or a big bull’s-eye painted on one's back,” Kiera came back. “Hopefully we aren’t blaring our coordinates to the nearest power-crazed wannab
