VOLUME 1 EDITING IN PROGRESS (3/51) "This world is a strange one. It is inhabited by humans, animals, plants, and strange monsters known simply as shadows. These pure black beasts once lived among humans peacefully. Similar to some animals, they were just as scared of us as we were of them. But on that fateful day twelve years ago... They attacked. Nobody knows what caused their change in attitude or why they changed all at once; all we knew was that we were severely underprepared. Thousands of lives were lost on that day and many more would come in the time that followed. Humans were forced to adapt to survive and that we did. Walls were constructed around every city and nobody dared to step outside. Despite this, technology didn't stop advancing and the world remained connected. Phones, cars, buildings, and more all continued to grow as the world outside the walls began to return to nature. With these modern cities, the dark world became speckled with dots of light. However, none of this would have been possible without those who chose to fight the shadows. Powers are plenty in this world, ranging from useful in day to day life to weapons fit to defend entire cities on their own. Many of those who possess strong powers have taken up the responsibility of defeating the shadows and protecting humanity. These people do their job in many different ways and have many different names. Hunters, defenders, guardians, all of them make sure people can safely leave the cities and make sure the world can still grow. There is one name, however, that never receives the same amount of respect as the others. They are the runts of the powerful, many refuse to be associated with the name. But it is this name that would come to change the world. The few people who would proudly wear this name would be remembered for centuries to come. The name in question? Heroes..."

Now you see me now you don't

In the vast and enchanted realm of Virelia, where arcane empires rise and fall beneath drifting skylands and beastkin walk alongside men, Zayne Caldris was a boy who had everything—wit sharper than steel, beauty that drew eyes in every town, and a terrifyingly adaptive mind that made him a natural in any discipline he pursued. But above all, he had peace. He lived a quiet, happy life with his mother and younger sister in the tranquil edge-town of Bellshade, far from the chaos of the royal capitals and mage wars. Though the world offered endless thrills, Zayne found most things boring—except the laughter of his sister and the warm meals shared under their lantern-lit roof. Until it all burned. One night, his home was turned to ash, his family butchered by unknown hands. No witnesses. No known enemies. No clear motive. All that remained was a single white feather, scorched at its edge, left deliberately on the bloodied windowsill. With nothing left to lose, Zayne vanishes into the underworld of Virelia—where killers wear crowns, mages deal in secrets, and truths are traded like currency. On a relentless path of vengeance, Zayne’s true potential awakens. He becomes a master of stealth, deception, and manipulation. A ghost who leaves no prints, a face that never stays the same. As he journeys through the fractured layers of Virelia’s politics, sorcery, and ancient blood feuds, Zayne will rise—shaped by loss, driven by justice, and haunted by a question that only he can answer: Who left the feather?

Shattered: A SAO Tale (Sword Art Online)

What if the world's most expected, anticipated vrmmorpg turned out to be the largest, cruelest experiment ever? What if the world's biggest genius turned out to be a sick sociopath? What if 10.000 men and women, children and elderly were trapped in a castle in the sky? What if your life didn't belong only to you? What if fighting was your only option? What if... That was you? -------------------------- Hello, everyone! Gonna be quick here, and list some major points about Shattered which I know many of you will be concerned: Point 1: Just like every other SAO fan out there, I too felt like we received too little of Kirito's and his friends' adventures on Aincrad. There's so much untapped potential, and I plan to make the best of it. So, this story will be covering all 100 floors of Aincrad, if possible. Of course, there might be some skips along the way, and until it's published, the story is always prone to changes, but at least that's the base plan. Point 2: Th MC won't be Kirito, but an original character (an OC, as we like to call them). You will discover more about him as the novel progress, but I can tell you that, one: he is just another person trapped in SAO, and won't have any previous knowledge of the game, and two, it is not a self-insert, but rather, like I already mentioned, just another player. For those of you who read my first novel Broke (shameless plug-in), you can think of him like Dageer, just someone trying their best to survive and to make sure his friends do the same. Point 3: The story will start cannon-ish, but, unlike Broke, it will at some point diverse from cannon (where it will take us, I have no idea). Point 4: I plan to write about the Aincrad and ALO arcs of SAO. As of now, I don't know if we will reach GGO, and most probably not Alicization. Point 5 (and last): This is NOT a harem story. It will also not be one of those novels where the MC ends up with a single girl, but has tons of others pinning for him (as for who the female lead is, I believe you should discover easily, I'm not that great at writing romance). In fact, one of the things that bothered me about SAO the most was that while Kirito only got together with Asuna (and will still do in this fanfic) he had four or five other girls which were left without resolution. Expect that to change. Disclaimer: I don't own the Sword Art Online franchise (obviously) so please don't sue me. Enjoy the novel! And, to start as cliché as possible: LINK START!
