The Unyielding Builder

How do you rebuild a world when you only know how to destroy it? Darius Thornheart is a Natural Calamity with a human face. As a Level 99 Legendary Commander, he has won forty-seven wars, toppled empires, and possesses strength capable of cracking tectonic plates. But he is tired. Tired of the scent of ozone, the relentless "Kill Confirmed" notifications of the War System, and being the ultimate weapon for a kingdom that only asks for more blood. Seeking atonement, Darius retires to Bluevalley, a decaying border village the world has left for dead. His plan is simple: live a quiet, "cozy" life, fix up a ruined cabin, and learn the humble craft of construction. There’s just one problem: Darius has zero builder skills. Every time he tries to drive a nail, he punches through the wall. If he tries to plow a field, he accidentally carves a canyon. His Elite Warrior stats are so massive that everyday life becomes a tactical minefield. To the System, Darius is still a siege engine, and every domestic task he attempts is interpreted as an act of war. But when a massive earthquake destroys the village’s only supply route, Darius faces his most impossible mission yet. It’s not about slaying a dragon or crushing an army; it’s about building the Thousand-Ton Bridge in just thirteen days. Darius must learn to translate his skills of destruction into tools of creation before the coming winter—or his own unchecked power—finishes off the only thing he has ever sworn to protect. What’s inside: * Unique LitRPG Progression: A System that must adapt to a protagonist who is already max level, but in the wrong category. * "Titan-Scale" Base Building: Medieval engineering projects powered by god-tier physical force. * Tactical Humor & Tension: The constant friction between a cynical, world-weary warrior and a community that desperately needs his help (even if he breaks everything he touches). * A Weighted Protagonist: Inspired by the tactical gravity of a Spectre and the physical presence of a Man of Steel.

Seekers Codex: Beyond The Abyssal Line

*Original Story* *Strategy shōnen with seinen stakes* “Four rookies. One brutal Seeker Exam. A hard magic system that judges actions. What does it take to seek truth in a world built on lies? The gods wrote the laws. The Arcwheel turns, binding every soul to an endless cycle — live, die, repeat. But the wheel is cracking, and something ancient stirs beneath the waves. Kai Xander was meant to be a footnote in history — another nameless orphan swallowed by the ruins of a dead age. But Kai doesn’t know how to stop, armed with a flame that heals instead of destroys, hunted by monsters, fanatics, and false gods, he sets out across a shattered world to find the truth buried at its heart. In a realm where knowledge is power and faith is weaponized, one stubborn Seeker will defy fate, question divinity, and light a fire that even the abyss can’t swallow. Slow-burn character and system build until the Trial by Mercy—then Ryōiki(domain) duels and war arcs kick off. Seeker’s Codex: Beyond the Abyssal Line Copyright © Hazzybae (HennessyTheAuthor), 2025.
