In a world where everyone awakens their innate abilities at 18, Noah is deemed a failure—his Awakening appears nonexistent. Mocked, abandoned, and powerless, he fades into the shadows. But beneath the surface, an ancient power stirs within him—The Code of Dominion. Unlike any ability before, it doesn't just manipulate reality—it rewrites it. Hidden organizations lurk in the dark, seeking control. Enemies rise from all corners, unaware of the unstoppable force Noah is becoming. As he unravels the secrets of his true potential, he must decide: will he remain unseen, or will he dominate the very world that once cast him aside?

Chapter One: The awakening of Nothing
The Awakening Ceremony was the most important event in every young person’s life. At eighteen, they would step forward, touch the Awakening Crystal, and discover the power that would shape their future. Some would awaken elemental abilities—fire, lightning, or ice. Others would gain mental gifts, like telekinesis or mind-reading. Even those with weak abilities had a place in society. But those who awakened nothing? They were outcasts. Useless. Forgotten. Noah Carter never thought he’d be one of them. He stood inside Eastwood Academy’s grand hall, the massive crystal floating before him, humming with energy. Hundreds of students watched as he stepped forward. The headmaster, Professor Caldwell, gave him a nod. “Noah Carter, place your hand on the crystal.” Noah swallowed hard and pressed his palm against the cool surface. Energy surged through his arm, tingling at his fingertips. The crystal pulsed, growing brighter… And then— It dimmed. A heavy silence fell over the hall. No

The forsaken Code. Chapter Fourteen:. The mark of the abyss.
Noah’s breath hitched. His fingers brushed over the dark mark curling around his wrist, feeling the unnatural heat pulsing beneath his skin. It didn’t hurt, but the sensation was wrong, like something alive was beneath the surface.Killian was the first to break the silence.“What do you mean, ‘he’ll become one of them’?” His voice was sharp, demanding answers.The hooded woman didn’t flinch. “The Abyss doesn’t let go of its chosen. Once it marks you, it slowly drains your essence. Your thoughts… your will… your very existence fades until you are nothing but a hollow shell.”Noah’s pulse pounded in his ears. He clenched his fists. “So you’re saying I’m cursed?”She nodded. “In a way, yes.”Vance sighed, running a hand through his hair. “Fantastic. Another problem added to our never-ending list.”Noah barely heard him. His mind raced, his heartbeat erratic.He had barely escaped the Abyss, and now it was inside him?Killian stepped forward, jaw tight. “How do we stop it?”The woman hes
Last Updated : 2025-03-29The forsaken Code. Chapter Thirteen:. The Riftborn's Hunger.
The Riftborn loomed over them, its form flickering between states—sometimes solid, sometimes a twisting mass of shadows, its edges fraying like torn fabric against the eerie violet glow of the sky.Noah’s body went rigid. His pulse roared in his ears. He had read about Riftborns in old texts—creatures that should not exist in any reality, beings that belonged to the space between worlds. But reading about them and standing in front of one were two different things entirely.Killian took a step back, his fingers twitching toward his dagger. Vance remained eerily still, his golden eyes narrowed as he studied the creature.The hooded woman—the one who had spoken to them—lifted a hand, as if holding the Riftborn at bay. “The Veil is weak,” she intoned. “And so, they come.”Noah forced himself to find his voice. “They? There are more of these things?”The woman nodded slowly. “Where the Rift thins, they gather.”The Riftborn let out a low, reverberating growl that rattled Noah’s bones.
Last Updated : 2025-03-29The forsaken Code. Chapter Twelve:. The eyes that watch
The ruins felt heavier, like an invisible weight pressing against Noah’s chest. Every step forward sent a ripple through the air, as if the world itself was resisting their presence.Killian exhaled sharply. “Okay, so let me get this straight. The Veil isn’t a place, it’s a barrier? A wall between us and whatever’s on the other side?”Noah nodded. “Yeah. And I think… I think I can feel it.”Vance glanced at him. “Describe it.”Noah hesitated, searching for the right words. “It’s like standing in a dream you don’t belong to. The closer I get, the more I feel like… I’m being watched.”Killian scoffed. “Watched by what?”Before Noah could answer, the wind shifted.And the shadows moved.Killian froze mid-step. “Tell me that was just my imagination.”It wasn’t.Shapes slithered between the ruins, figures barely visible against the dim light. Their eyes gleamed—hundreds of them. Not human. Not alive.Vance’s voice was calm, but firm. “We’re not alone.”The ground beneath them trembled. The
Last Updated : 2025-03-29The forsaken Code. Chapter Eleven:. Whispers in the Dark
The ruins stretched before them like the bones of a forgotten civilization, jagged and broken. Time had eroded the once-magnificent structures, leaving behind only remnants of what had been. A chilling wind howled through the crumbling arches, carrying the echoes of voices long gone.Noah’s heart pounded as he followed Vance and Killian through the ruins. The words of the shadowy figures lingered in his mind. Find the Veil. Uncover what was lost.“What do you think they meant by ‘the Veil’?” Killian asked, his voice low.Vance adjusted his gloves. “If I had to guess, I’d say it’s a place—or a barrier—between what we know and what was hidden.”Noah exhaled. “Then it’s where we need to go.”They pressed on, their footsteps echoing against stone. The deeper they went, the more unnatural the air became. A weight settled over Noah’s shoulders, a pressure that felt… aware.Then he heard it.A whisper.Faint, like a breath against his ear.“Turn back.”Noah’s body went rigid. His eyes dar
Last Updated : 2025-03-28The forsaken Code. Chapter 10: The Weight of Truth
The ruins were silent.Not the kind of silence that came with emptiness, but the kind that listened.Noah felt it pressing against his skin, wrapping around him like unseen hands, waiting—expecting.Vance stood a few steps ahead, staring at the remnants of the ancient city. His jaw was tight, his hands clenched at his sides. Killian, usually the first to crack a joke, was uncharacteristically quiet.Noah exhaled. His mind was still reeling from what he had seen—the fire, the destruction, the way the flames had moved like they were part of him.Like he had commanded them.He forced himself to speak. “What now?”Vance turned to him. “Now, we figure out who you really are.”The words sent a shiver down Noah’s spine.Killian huffed. “Sounds great, but how exactly do we do that? Do we just—what? Hope another vision smacks him in the head?”Vance ignored him. “This place was hidden for a reason. If we dig deep enough, we’ll find the truth.”Noah’s stomach twisted. He wasn’t sure if he w
Last Updated : 2025-03-28The forsaken Code. Chapter Nine:. Shadows of the past
The moment they stepped through the portal, the world around them shifted.Noah barely had time to process what had happened in the ruins before he found himself standing in an entirely different place.The air was thick. Heavy. Charged with something unseen.**Unlike the ruins, which had felt ancient and lifeless, this place… breathed.Killian groaned. “Okay, seriously. Can we go somewhere normal for once?”No one answered.Vance scanned their surroundings with narrowed eyes. His usual calm expression had hardened into something else—concern.Noah swallowed hard. “Where are we?”Vance’s gaze darkened. “The in-between.”Killian frowned. “In-between what?”“The past and the present.”Noah felt a chill crawl up his spine. “That doesn’t make sense.”Vance turned to him. “None of this does.”The sky above them was not a sky.It was moving. Shifting between darkness and light, between shapes that made no sense. Buildings rose and fell as if the world couldn’t decide whether they should exi
Last Updated : 2025-03-28The forsaken Code. Chapter Eight: The Trial Begins
The ground beneath them crumbled.Noah barely had time to react before he was falling. Darkness swallowed him whole as he plunged into the unknown.The air rushed past his ears. His heart pounded. He braced himself for impact—Then—Thud!He hit something solid, but not as hard as expected. A strange energy cushioned his fall, slowing him down before he landed. Dust filled the air as he rolled to his feet, coughing.A groan came from nearby.Killian.Noah turned, spotting him sprawled on the ground, rubbing his head. “That was fun,” Killian muttered.Vance landed next, as graceful as ever. His eyes swept the dimly lit chamber they had fallen into. Massive stone walls surrounded them, covered in glowing symbols. The air was thick with an eerie presence.Noah shivered. “Where… are we?”Vance took a slow step forward, studying the markings. “The heart of the ruins.”Killian stood up, dusting himself off. “Great. Now how do we get out?”Before anyone could answer, the symbols on the walls
Last Updated : 2025-03-28The forsaken Code. Chapter Seven: The Intrusion.
The academy was in chaos.Noah, Killian, and Vance stepped out of the training chamber into a dimly lit hallway. The red emergency lights pulsed in rhythm with the blaring sirens, casting eerie shadows against the metallic walls.Students and instructors rushed past them, their expressions a mix of fear and urgency. Some students were still in their uniforms, while others were in training gear—unprepared for whatever had breached the academy.Noah turned to Vance. “Who could possibly break into a place like this?”Vance’s expression was unreadable. “Few would dare. Fewer would succeed.”Killian cracked his knuckles. “Whoever it is, they’re either insane or powerful. Either way, this could be interesting.”Vance shot him a sharp look. “This isn’t a game, Killian.”A sudden explosion rocked the building. The ground trembled beneath them, and the walls groaned under the force of the blast. Dust and debris rained from the ceiling.Noah coughed, waving the dust away. “That sounded close
Last Updated : 2025-03-13The forsaken Code. Chapter Six: Secrets Beneath the surface
Noah stood in the dimly lit hall of Blackwood Tower, his heart still steadying from the fight with Killian. The whispers around him had died down, replaced with watchful stares. He had proven himself—at least enough to be acknowledged. But the true test was yet to come. Vance’s hand remained firm on Noah’s shoulder. “You see now, don’t you?” His voice was calm, yet his eyes carried something deeper—something unreadable. “You are not bound by the limitations of this world. And that is why the academy will never accept you.” Noah exhaled, his gaze flickering to the glowing symbols on the walls. “Then what exactly do you want from me?” Vance’s smile didn’t waver. “We want you to understand what you truly are.” Noah narrowed his eyes. “And if I refuse?” Killian scoffed from the side. “You won’t.” Vance chuckled. “There’s nothing to refuse, Noah. You came here seeking answers. We are offering them. What you do with them… is entirely up to you.” Noah didn’t respond. He wasn’t fooli
