The Crack In Heaven [A LitRPG Progression Fantasy]

In the slums beneath Veston, Kael fled before his mother's body grew cold. No sun. No flowers. No hope. No dreams. Winter and gang lords buried them all. "Pray to the gods and endure for a better tomorrow," his mom said. Why would he pray to the same gods who denied him peace? Who thrust him into this nightmare? No, he'd carve a way to Veston with his own hands, and it started by breaking his promise to his mother for survival. But the job for gang lord Garrick Vane went wrong. He was left for dead with nothing but a ledger salvaged from a submerged temple. But he refused death. "I persist." Two words that awakened a forbidden power, an unlicensed truth anchored to belief and paid for in the warmth of his most precious memories. Now a heretic hunted by priests who burn the unfaithful, Kael discovered the ledger tracked everything: his stress, his anchor, the price he had already paid. Every choice stresses his truth. And if his anchor breaks, he wouldn't just die: he'd become something worse. What to expect: - Analytical main character who thinks his way through problems. - A deep, original system to decipher along with Kael. - A lore-rich worldbuilding with its own religions and epochs to discover. - Truths that aren't free entries on a stat sheet. - No harem Length: 1,600 – 2,000 words per chapter.

Anonymous' Changes: Essence

In the year 2221, the world of Xirod stands under the control of a powerful Federation that lets the government value obedience over individuality. Its citizens are identified by numbers rather than names, while propaganda convinces them that everyone possesses the same “essence.” Beneath the promise of order and prosperity, however, corruption, inequality, environmental destruction, and a failing education system threaten the lives of ordinary people. For years, the speaker accepts this reality as normal—until growing alienation and unanswered questions begin to challenge everything they have been taught to believe. As the contradictions behind the Federation's promises become impossible to ignore, the narrator discovers that silence does not necessarily mean agreement, and obedience does not always mean peace. What begins as one person's quiet awakening gradually inspires others to question the system they once feared. As citizens confront the truth and those entrusted with maintaining order face their own moral dilemmas, Xirod approaches a turning point that could change its future forever. Essence is a dystopian story about identity, freedom, and the courage to question what has long been accepted as truth. Through the transformation of individuals and an entire society, it explores metanoia—a profound change in one's mind and perspective—and asks what it truly means to be human.
