The 7th System

RespectedSelf
In a world ruled by steel, sorcery, and science, only seven are chosen to bear the forbidden System—a mysterious power that grants access to hidden status windows and unimaginable strength. Among them, Aayu is different. Raised in the shadows of Velden City's slums, Aayu was forged by hunger, betrayal, and a fierce will to survive. While nobles flaunt their magic and the Church hides ancient secrets, Aayu alone possesses the unique ability to earn Store Points—a currency that lets him purchase traits and skills from a hidden Shop no one else can access. To the world, he's a ghost. To the demons rising in the dark, he's a threat. Twelve Demon Kings are awakening, determined to resurrect the Demon God and plunge the world into ruin. As factions clash—Holy Church, Adventurer Association, and Magic Tower—Aayu walks the thin line between survival and ascendancy, manipulating enemies, forging uneasy alliances, and striking from the shadows. But every power comes with a price. And in a world that fears the unknown, how long can Aayu stay hidden before the hunters come for the last Shopbearer?

THE CROWN OF WATERS

Noel Vallis, a young boy born into the noble Vallis family, has always lived in the shadow of expectations. As the heir to a powerful estate, his life seems destined to follow a strict path, but Noel has always felt out of place. Raised in a world of discipline and secrets, he yearns for something more—something that doesn’t conform to the rigid rules of his family. When Noel discovers his mysterious connection to the ancient koi pond on his family’s estate, he unwittingly awakens a dormant power tied to his bloodline. Magic surges within him, but it’s a power that cannot be controlled. A dark crystal refuses to react, and Noel is left questioning his place in the Vallis legacy. His only confidant, Ethen—his childhood friend and the son of his nanny—reveals that Noel is not just any heir, but the true heir to an ancient, magical legacy tied to the very land itself. The Vallis family’s secrets have been hidden for centuries, lost during the Empire Unification War. No heir has appeared in over 300 years, and Duke Vallis, Noel’s father, remains unaware of the true history that binds their family to an ancient seal—the Throne of Waters. This seal lies within the koi pond, a place that has always comforted Noel, but now holds a deeper meaning. It is a key to immense, untapped power, and only Noel, as the true heir, can unlock it. With the help of Ethen, Noel begins a journey of self-discovery and magical awakening. But the power within him comes with a price. As he grows stronger, he must confront his fears, his painful past, and the dark secrets of the Vallis family. The road ahead is fraught with danger, and Noel must learn to master the magic that flows through his veins, all while protecting his family’s legacy from those who seek to control it for their own gain.
