Arkanetica: The System That Dreamed Itself

Tempernce
"Threads bind fate. But what happens when one is born without a Thread?" Ari Solen awakens in a strange new world governed by ancient magic, noble bloodlines, and a living System that assigns your worth from birth. In the kingdom of Aristeia, power is everything—and power is written in your Thread, a magical lineage etched into the soul. But Ari has no Thread. No lineage. No fatepath. Classified as a Null-Origin, Ari is an error the world was never meant to see—an anomaly that corrupts the System by simply existing. Locked abilities, fragmented memories, and dreams written in a forgotten magical language begin to surface, drawing attention from dangerous forces: noble Houses, secret orders, and something far older beneath the world’s code. Now enrolled in Sanctum Academy, the elite school where prodigies battle and ascend the magical hierarchy, Ari must hide the truth of what he is while uncovering what the System was designed to suppress. With mysterious allies like the brilliant noble girl Cerys Aetherrose, the quiet memory-weaver Eluin, and even a tsundere princess with a sword to grind—Ari walks a path of duels, spells, secrets, and scripted destiny. But Ari doesn’t follow scripts. He rewrites them. "In a world bound by code and legacy, he is the wild variable."

Will he find a way to balance his ambition with his humanity, or will the darkness of the system consume him completely? *it’s my very first system novel since I’m not a fan of systems. you should know before you start reading that the system is very realistic and the MC would struggle with it a lot. oh and, it contains a little sci-fi. just a tiny bit, it doesn’t affect the main story. There will be romance too, like, the MC would get a life besides football.

RE: Fantasia

Have you ever thought about dying? Cole Sinclair did, all the time. Every morning when he woke up. Every evening when he left his soul-crushing desk job. Every night when he returned home, drained and empty. But no matter how much he thought about it, he could never take that last step. Until fate took it for him. One moment, he was crossing the street, too exhausted to notice the blinding headlights bearing down on him. The next, there was only darkness. No final regrets. No cherished memories flashing before his eyes. Just the cold, silent void. And then—light. Cole awoke in a forest, the scent of damp earth against his nostrils, the sound of rustling leaves whispering in the wind. For the first time in years, he wasn't shackled to his mundane existence. He had been reincarnated. A second chance. A fresh start. But before he could process his new reality, a purple screen appeared before him, its glowing text cutting through his thoughts. [Current Task: Kill the Spider King of Mehr] [Time Limit: 20 minutes] [Penalty: Death] No explanation. No preparation. Just a command. He moved. The system didn't give him a choice, it only demanded obedience. Thrown into battle with only the equipment granted to him, Cole had no time to think, no time to hesitate. It was kill or be killed. When the dust settled, the tyrant of the forest lay dead at his feet, and a new title was burned into his soul: [You have become the Spider King] With it came power, an ability unlike any other. Extract. The right to claim the skills, abilities, and forms of his slain enemies, to bend their strength into his own. He inherited the former Spider King's domain, its fortress, its territory. But something was coming. Something far stronger than he was. And it was hunting him. And if he wanted to survive—if he wanted to protect himself and his newfound people—he had to grow stronger. Faster. Because in this world, only the strong would survive. [Additional Tags] • Worldbuilding • Pseudo-Harem
