Chronoforge : The Engineer of Realms

Alpha_Ruby
The air inside the High Sanctum of Eldrion crackled with magic. Twelve archmages stood in a perfect circle, their robes embroidered with silver sigils, surrounding a glowing arcane glyph carved into the stone floor. The chanting was steady, like a rhythmic heartbeat of power pulsing through the chamber. Onlookers watched from behind crystalline barriers—nobles, generals, priests—all with the same hope in their eyes. Their kingdom was on the brink of collapse. Demons surged from rifts in the east. The Spellknight legions were spread thin, and the Mageocracy’s rule faced uprisings from those who feared magic had grown too arrogant. Only one gambit remained: Summon a Hero. "Phase shift complete. Leyline convergence holding," said Archmage Varyn, voice brittle with age but strong with command. "Proceed to dimensional binding." A younger mage in the circle nodded and touched the inner ring. A blue fire surged up from the glyph, forming a spiraling cone of mana that reached toward the domed ceiling. From within the swirl, reality twisted. A flash of silver. A burst of static. And then—something went wrong. The light turned red. The circle sparked. Screams echoed. A wave of unstable mana rippled outward like a blast wave, shattering part of the crystalline shield. Varyn’s wards held, but barely. The cone collapsed inward—and dumped a figure onto the floor, smoking slightly. Everything went still. The figure groaned. He was... different. No armor. No sword. No magic aura. Just a young man with short black hair, a battered hoodie, and jeans with burnt seams. He sat up groggily, coughing. "Ugh... where... the hell am I?" he muttered. One of the mages gasped. "That... that isn’t the Chosen Hero." "No divine sigil. No blessing of the Light. No affinity to the Leylines." "But... he was pulled through the Summoning Gate. That’s impossible." Archmage Varyn narrowed his eyes. "Not impossible. Catastrophic." The young man looked up, blinking in confusion. His name was Aiden Knox, a technologist from a world without magic. And as the mages argued, Aiden’s vision blurred—flashing briefly with blue circuitry across his retinas. A sound echoed in his ears, one that no one else heard: [SYSTEM BOOTING…] CHRONOFORGE INTERFACE v1.0 USER DETECTED: AIDEN KNOX WORLD PROFILE INCOMPATIBLE. INITIALIZING INTEGRATION LAYER… WELCOME, ENGINEER. His eyes widened. "What the hell... was that voice?" No one answered him. The mages were already backing away. To them, he was a mistake. A failure. But to the world of Eltarion, this so-called error was about to become its most dangerous engineer

Chen Mo's life takes an unexpected turn when he stumbles upon a strange shard of jade—one that has the mysterious ability to summon monsters.

But what begins as a battle for survival soon turns into something much more profound.

Superpower Investigation Team

The Superpower Investigation Team is a science fiction and suspense novel that centers around superpowered individuals and unfolds around global crises. The story is set in a near-future world where governments of various countries secretly established organizations of superpowered individuals to deal with special incidents. Through multi-linear narrative, the novel weaves together the grand themes of individual fates and the survival of the Earth, with a compact plot full of suspense. Background and Beginning In the near future, due to the frequent occurrence of supernatural phenomena on Earth, countries established secret organizations to manage superpowered individuals. For example, China's "Special Incident Response Department" (abbreviated as "SIRD"). However, the sudden actions of the mysterious organization "Ace" shattered the balance. They assembled top combat forces at the Eye of the Sahara (a geological wonder in the Sahara Desert) and publicly issued a provocation to the global superpower community, claiming to possess the secret that could subvert human civilization. At the same time, the consciousness of the Earth (the personified will of the Earth) issued a prophecy to the protagonist, Lei Ting, stating that the Eye of the Sahara was the "Land of Destiny" and that he must go there to deal with the crisis. Main Characters and Conflicts 1. Lei Ting: Once a top agent of the SIRD, he retired due to differences in ideology and was later chosen by the consciousness of the Earth to be a key figure. He has the ability to manipulate electromagnetic force but is forced to be involved in the incident due to the troubles of his prophetic dreams. 2. Chen Xichen: The only superpowered individual in China at the "Top Transcendent" realm. After retirement, he was urgently recalled and led the international joint investigation team to confront "Ace". He represents the game between traditional power and emerging crises. 3. The "Ace" Organization: The members are code-named with letters (such as K, Q). Its leader, K, colludes with external forces and attempts to use the energy of the Eye of the Sahara to achieve "dimensional transition", but the true purpose remains elusive. 4. The Consciousness of the Earth: Appearing in the image of a young girl, it endows some superpowered individuals with special abilities (such as Corimlan's "Nature Regulation"). However, its stance is ambiguous, as it both protects humanity and manipulates fate.
