In a world where dungeon runners rise to fame by mastering their classes and conquering impossible threats, Alexander was never meant to be part of it. No class. No path. Just a quiet life. When a mysterious portal drags him into a hidden realm known as his Inner Path, Alexander unlocks a class no one has seen before: Beholder. There’s no fanfare. No guidance. Only eyes that see too much, and power that threatens to unravel his mind with every use. Now, trapped in an abyssal dungeon that reshapes itself around eldritch laws, Alexander must survive alone. But with each victory, his vision sharpens. His spells twist reality. And the deeper he goes, the more the world outside should start to worry. Because when he returns- They won’t be able to look away.

One day, thousands of blue Rifts appeared around the planet, floating in mid-air. Curiosity engulfed everyone, as they had read countless novels and watched anime, imagining what kind of worlds might await them. They entered the Rifts, expecting adventure, only to find other countries or isolated biomes—no monsters, no special powers. Years later, a single red Rift appeared, absorbing everyone in its district. A rescue team discovered that those absorbed gained a special ability called ‘Ethereal,’ allowing them to hunt monsters. Five hundred years have passed without understanding or controlling the Rifts. Until now... These Rifts have chosen me as their... 'Rift Runner' --- On a significant day, during a Rift trial that could determine his future, the protagonist Archie received a Non-Graded ‘F’ Ethereal, the weakest rank. He learned that he was among the failures, not destined for greatness. Resigned, he went to work for his father in their noodle shop. But fate had other plans. After a fateful encounter, Archie discovered that he could control the Rifts—the very phenomenon everyone feared or misunderstood. Will the Rifts help him rise to the top, or does fate have something even more extraordinary in store for Archie that he can't escape?

Another broken fragment then floated past him. “When I say go, you two run as fast as your legs can carry you and no matter what you hear, don’t you dare look back”, “Mom”, his younger self cried out to his mother as she darted away to face the Sabraxians alone. “And then finally…”, broken fragment. “Survive” he heard Sonikro’s voice and then… *Boom* here's a link to my Royal Road profile: https://www.royalroad.com/profile/475791/fictions

A novel by Kazu, all rights reserved. (Be mindful all the names, characters, terms, locations are purely of fiction and does not resemble any real world language, event or person) In a world where the echo of the ancient catastrophe resurfaced, where the unimaginable force creeping back under the surface of stability, where the misunderstanding of the ancient knowledge entrenched deep within the established institution, a girl's instinct might become the only clue and hope to prevent the next apocalypse. Peni Araka—known to many as Sara—is a new high school student, descended from the Sakashi line of the historic Peni family. When she unexpectedly enrolled and passes the entrance trials of the SAIR, a semi-covert national agency designed to protect society from supernatural incidents, she believes she’s chasing her dream: to bring the brightness to the world, like a real-world hero, like Ms. Possible, the heroine of her childhood. But the world she enters is far more fractured than it seems. With the resurfacing of crystals of the unknown origin - the Shards - across the world, as well as the Matake - a mysterious, perception-linked force that ties cognition, memory, instinct into one field - being exploited by rogue players and organizations who deeply believe their endeavour would bring the prosperity and total control over the world, Sara (Araka)'s belief in truth as well as her gift - being able to hear and even manipulate Matake echoes without training - became not just the a quirk, but the key to stop the unverified but terrifying myth- the resurgence of Matareo, a chaos dragon once sealed by the mythical matriarch Hekon - from happening again. As SAIR struggles to respond, secretive organizations rises from the shadows, weaponizing Matake through music, tech, and psychological warfare. Navigating her dual life as both student and intern, Araka must form fragile bonds with classmates, agents, and allies—each with their own burden, each drawn into the expanding storm. From rural shrines to urban black sites, from friendship to betrayal, she must learn not just how to fight, but how to choose: between orders and empathy, between legacy and rebellion, and ultimately, between her own humanity and the voice growing louder inside her. Because she had to let her lights shine through before the darkness took over the world.

In the Ashen Reach, a cursed wasteland of black dunes and ember-storms, Torv “Ash” Kren runs alone, hauling glowing ember-shards in a battered sled. Once a raider, he quit when his crew torched innocence—now he trades magic fuel for water, machete chipped, coat patched, one job from death. An ember-storm cracks his sled—shards spill—when Lysa “Ember” Vey stumbles from the haze, half-dead, clutching a red-hot Core Ember worth a fortune or a grave. Lysa’s an ash-witch—bends shards into fire-blades, hunted by warlord Krax for a 10,000-shard bounty. She offers Torv 2,000 to run her to the Free Drift, rebel camp past the Dune Wall—or leave him dry in the sand. Torv’s gut says ditch her—warlord’s hounds close—but her ember buys time, and his Ash Runner Sense wakes: kills earn miles, power grows. They trek—raiders bleed, storms burn—Torv’s machete sings (+500 miles, Dune Dash), Lysa’s fire cuts deep. Krax’s dogs tear closer—ember-teeth glint—when the Core cracks, whispering: “Free me, claim all.” Truth hits: Lysa’s bounty’s fake—Krax wants the Core that cursed the Reach. Torv’s past crew died for it—he’s bound to the ash. Miles climb (Ash Veil, 1,000)—lungs scar, Lysa’s shard burns her grip. At the Dune Wall, Krax looms—Torv carves, Lysa flares—Core shatters, Reach shakes. Warlord falls—shards rain—but Torv’s ash-coated, Lysa’s bleeding. A new ember glows west—next run calls. Grind, fire, survival—will Torv and Lysa outrun the curse, or burn in it?
