Deus Ex Machina: Clockwork

LastValkyrie
In a vast steampunk world ruled by machines, endless resource wars, and government officials who care nothing for their citizens, humanity has forgotten the power flowing through its own blood. Known as Kynara, this magic is limited only by imagination, yet few possess the creativity to wield it in a society that relies on gears to solve every problem. After their parents vanish in a brutal war between districts, three orphans Elias, Varya, and Liora are taken in by a reclusive inventor who raises them above the iron city. As they grow, they uncover a forgotten truth; Kynara does not answer to machines but to the mind and to the bonds between people. Dreaming of ending the wars and freeing humanity from its dependence on machinery, the three set their sights on ascension to godhood. But who knows what side the gods above are truly on. Can three orphan children not only prove to the entire world that gods are not born from machines but from imagination, but also uncover and reveal the secrets hidden in the cogs and gears?

Reborn as the Apocalypse: My Divine Harem and The Omega Exchange

I am not a god. I am the Cycle of Destruction and Rebirth itself. In the previous eon, I was betrayed. The women I trusted—my so-called soulmates—stabbed me in the back, forcing my destructive laws to go berserk and wipe out an entire civilization. Now, I’ve awakened in a modern world where Aetheric energy is just returning. I am weak, my memories are fractured, and the apocalyptic toxin inside me is threatening to tear this new era apart. My only anchor? The Omega Exchange, an ancient entity bound to my soul, hiding in the shadows of the world's most hypocritical faction: The Divine Temple. To survive and reclaim my cosmic throne, I must balance two paths: Flesh to suppress the Destruction. Soul to ignite the Rebirth. In my eyes, the women of this world are no longer equals. They are divided into a strict, unforgiving hierarchy: 1. Fuel (The Contaminated): Fake saints and worthless parasites. Good for nothing but raw energy to be ruthlessly burned and consumed by the Exchange. 2. Vessels (The Release): Beautiful, but lacking true essence. Their only purpose is to absorb my violent urges and satisfy my primal lust. No attachments. No mercy. 3. Spirit-Rhyme (The Resonant): Rare, brilliant souls that resonate with the abyss. They are my eyes in the shadows, my branded priestesses. I conquer their minds and shatter their sanity long before I ever claim their flesh. 4. Apex-Tier (The True Origins): The flawless, singular few. Bearers of the universe's ultimate laws. Only they are worthy of absolute possession, my protection, and ruling the ashes of the next era by my side. This time, I will not be deceived by fake affection or holy masks. I will solve the mysteries of this recovering world, unmask the traitors hiding in the Divine Temple, and violently take back what is mine. Those who submit will reign. Those who deceive me will be reduced to dust. ======= Thank you to all our readers for your incredible support!
