gossamer demise

A/N: The first 50 or so chapters have a comedic focus and are setup for the following plot. They are fun and introduce a lot of important characters, but don't be scared off by the lacking early plot. All of the setup and worldbuilding will be worth it. Hitching a ride with a summoned demon, Edol finds himself in a magical new world. Unfortunately for the young man, his dreams of discovering and exploring magic are quickly interrupted. This new world... knows nothing like a summoning spell. The few powers with previous information about the easily weaponizable spell quickly try to stifle the news of its existence. The moment Glory, the strongest Empire on the Eastern Continent, catches wind of the summoning spell, they move quickly. There is finally a way for them to conquer not only the continent they reside on, but also a method to travel over to sea to claim the land of other countries. ... And if they want to acquire this new spell, who better to search for than the one summoned by it in the first place?

In a world where life is cruel and power is everything, a boy named Rael awakens inside Transcendence Ascension Online — a virtual realm built from ancient bloodlines, forgotten sects, and deadly cultivation paths. With no past to anchor him and a dark, calculating soul shaped by pain, Rael begins his journey from nothing. He doesn't just fight monsters — he tears apart their secrets. He doesn't just cultivate — he consumes, adapts, and evolves. Bound to a mysterious system that offers him power with a price, Rael must walk a path where every gain exacts a cost. From city back alleys to forgotten ruins, from brutal martial trials to the blood-stained arenas of Heaven’s Clans — every choice etches his legend. But when a flirtatious genius cultivator from a noble clan enters his life, will his blade remain steady... or will emotions become his greatest weakness? This is not a story of light. This is the path of a strategist, a shadow, a martial genius — forged in flesh and spirit. Welcome to TAO.

Having awakened within a forest with little to no memories of her past and being left with the sole task of surviving…what will Kaltyr do? ----------------------------------- If when you're reading this there are only 49 chapters, then for all intents and purposes it's completed. The first 49 chapters are just a prologue, giving a long (135,000+ words) introduction to the main character, the power system, and how she obtained her powers--all within the forest she awoke within. You will not learn why the novel has its name. There are only 5 characters, 1 of which is the MC and only another of which is recurring for a time. I do have plans for future books of the series, but they aren't getting written for a long time because this was just a side project to practice the basics of storytelling and whatnot. I will instead be working on my real projects. This is a slow story that doesn't pander to the audience, but I hope you enjoy it, nonetheless.

“When blood and silence are bound by fate, only truth can break the curse.” For five long years, Demise Country has remained silent. No message, no trade, no sign of life has crossed its borders. Now, an elite task force is sent to uncover the truth behind the sealed nation — and the mysterious Crownlight that glows red above its capital each night. Among them is Curse Blonde, a newly recruited soldier with a flawless mind and a hidden scar: the daughter of King Alderon, the man now worshiped as the Savior of Demise. To her team, she’s a promising recruit. To her enemies, she’s the blood of a tyrant. To herself, she’s a mistake she can’t forgive. When the mission collapses into chaos, Curse discovers that the kingdom’s silence is not born from ruin — but from control. Every soul within Demise is bound by Ether, feeding a barrier that preserves Alderon’s perfect kingdom at the cost of life itself. As war erupts between the Elite Team, the Rebel Forces, and Alderon’s own Arcknights, truth and loyalty begin to crumble. Love turns to sacrifice. Faith turns to betrayal. And when the king’s favored warrior, Sable, falls in battle to protect Curse, Alderon’s grief transforms into wrath — marking his own daughter as the next to die. Now, trapped between the blood she carries and the people she swore to protect, Curse must confront the meaning of her name and the sin of her father. For Demise to live again, she must break the silence — even if it means destroying her own bloodline.

How many worlds lie in stagnancy? Twisted and maligned from the actions of a few. Who does this wrongdoing fall on to fix, to right what was wronged.

This work incorporates many Chinese elements, making it easier for those interested in Chinese culture to understand the details. For those unfamiliar with it, reading may be a bit challenging, but they can still grasp the general direction of the story. (No harem, no clichés, no overpowered characters, no system, no mindless plot, no feel-good story. Proceed with caution.) When I thought it was just an ordinary day, I found myself captured and taken to the land of demise. When I believed that participating in endless death games was the only way to escape, I realized that people around me were beginning to awaken supernatural powers. When I assumed this place was a "land of god-making," everything started moving toward annihilation.
