Author's World [Transmigration, Magic, Author in His Own Novel]

I was just your average author, who struck gold during the pandemic with the debut of my novel "Fever War". But I made a mistake! "I made a bet." Dropped into a withering dystopia. A reimagined version of Earth after COVID-19, where some patients began gaining supernatural powers and magic. The future of humanity had changed forever. Wars were fought not solely with military technology, but supernatural soldiers fighting against each other. And then they came, aliens from the other world. And they were far better at using magic than all of humanity. War against aliens was not as simple as it seemed. Governments, secret cults, & ancient families all want one thing—Control. But I will control my own fate, I will ▮▮▮▮ this place and ▮▮▮▮. How? Because I wrote this story—I am this World's Author. --- What to expect: - No OP protagonist. As it takes time and training to become strong together with a very unique power system. This is the author falling into his novel trope, but with a twist. - No Harem, set in a futuristic 22nd century Earth filled with advanced technology and magic. - The beginning is slow as I am still developing my writing style. I am power-system enthusiast (Not LITRPG, but hard and logical magic system) kind of an author. So, please bear with me. --- This story is also available on RoyalRoad, ScribbleHub and Webnovel.

A Million Lifetimes to Say Goodbye

A million deaths. A million worlds. One million years too late. Alex was the Dragonslayer—until his final, catastrophic duel against the Godslayer ended in mutual destruction. Desperate to return home, Alex triggered an incomplete reincarnation formula. Instead of a simple rebirth, his soul was shattered across the multiverse. He died a million times across a million different realities: as a cultivator, a warlord, a beggar, and a beast. With every death, his combat instincts sharpened, his martial reflexes deepened, and his obsession grew. Now, on his millionth rebirth, the formula finally spits him back where it all began—his original home world. There are only two problems: 1. A freak incident as an infant locked away the active memories of his past lives, leaving only instinct, muscle memory, and an unyielding drive for power. 2. One million years have passed since he fell. Starting from the absolute bottom at Tier 0, Alex must take up twin blades and flame once more. He doesn't care about saving the world or playing the hero. He is climbing back to the pinnacle of power to settle an ancient score with the Godslayer—and find the soul of the woman he left behind. What to Expect: Progression: Tier 0 to Tier 6 progression system with earned, tactical growth (Dual Blades & Fire Magic). Protagonist: Reincarnated veteran with dormant instincts; driven, practical, and selfish when necessary. Pacing: Weak-to-Strong arc. No instant god-mode—every tier is hard-won. Themes: Intense rivalries, martial mastery, and a slow-burn epic mystery spanning a million years. Romance / Harem: Slow-burn Single Love Interest. No Harem. Release Schedule: 3 Chapters / Week

Memory of Heaven

Love is not illegal in this universe. It is simply not allowed to exist. When an Overseer of Reality falls in love with a girl meant to die, causality begins to fracture—and the universe starts preparing to erase them both. *** In a universe governed by function, efficiency, and cosmic law, love is an anomaly no system can quantify. Fitran is an Overseer of Reality—an executor of balance tasked with maintaining causality across worlds. He was never meant to choose, hesitate, or care. Rinoa is a fractured soul, rewritten across eras and timelines, engineered to become a necessary martyr—a sacrifice required to keep reality stable. Together, they are a contradiction. Every time they hold hands, probability falters. Every time they separate, the universe stabilizes. As ancient machine gods awaken, angels descend to enforce order, and the Void turns its attention toward Earth, one truth becomes unavoidable: The universe does not fear war. It does not fear extinction. It fears a love that breaks meaning itself. This is not a story about saving the world. It is a story about choosing love in a reality that would rather collapse than allow it.
